A mini-rant on the Crystal Raids

[Neidhardt]

This is just right now, my own opinion on the new update (I’d really hope people respect it and try not to backlash me, because I’d admit right now I’m quite frustrated, so forgive me if I do stir up feelings.)
When I heard it was released with the addition of the raid mode I was pretty hyped. I had been wanting the rewards for quite a long time.
I went through the new crystal raid mode tutorial and it was all amazing, with a great and promising idea that set me in awe at the quite unique twist to most of the modes in Xenoverse 2.
(I’m assuming all of you are aware of how the gamemode works. If you don’t, give it a try, or search it up.)

But the first thing I’d like to address is the drop rates of demon crystals.
They’re hard to get. I have tried and tried again hoping that the RNG for the crystals wouldn’t be that hard, but for ♥♥♥♥’s sake, no. They state on almost every expert mission (excluding the tutorials) that demon crystals drop, but I’ve tried again and again to attempt to get at least one of those crystals so I could host a room, but that didn’t work- screw it!
And then I gave up for a while (I’ll be trying again later..) and here’s where this all leads to my other issue.
You’d expect the raid mode to be quite popular, with at least some rooms created but that’s where the second issue lies. I can barely find up any rooms (even when the rift is somewhat crowded) and I have spent about four hours attempting to at least find a decent room.

I only found six of them in a course of four hours. Yes.

And I’m assuming this is probably due to the fact that Demon Crystals are just... hard to drop- which is probably why there aren’t as many rooms, which is why most of the time it’s a damn torture to attempt to find rooms. (Yes, I’m mentally drained by that.)

I really had high hopes for this, and don’t get me wrong, I love the new gameplay, it’s just that it’s really hard to find a room at times.

Same. But they aren’t.

Great. Update- I currently found out that the highest drop rate for Demon Crystals are in Expert Mission 20, and it’s a 50% chance.

It's 500 tp medals for 10 crystals if you keep giving the gifts to fu

Just so you know, the person who creates the room isn't guaranteed to be the boss. The system that they're using to decide who the raid boss is hasn't been explained either, but it seems that it's most likely RNG based. Player 1 appears to be the raid boss, but hosting the room doesn't actually make you player 1. You can get moved down the list when other players join. The only way to ensure that you are player 1 would be to kick anyone who enters the room and is placed above you on the list until you have a full team and are at the top (theoreticaly) which really sucks for those people. So if those things bother you then don't waste your time farming crystals or crystal raid abilities to host your own room with.

I read somewhere that the age of your steam account is what determines it
https://www.reddit.com/r/dbxv/comments/a8ec07/crystal_raids_are_broken/

i can somewhat verify as i made another steam acount with another gmail, used a friends XV2 copy through Family Share, and my account, the older one, would always be on top and the new one on the bottom, i cant manipulate it either as it always crashes due to netcode

Just talk to him under the rift and if you have gifts on you it will ask you if you want to give him one (Mira, Corrupted Zamasu or Demigra's) if you give him a second gift of any of the three he'l give you crystals

Do I need the new DLC? He just wants to do more rift travels.

You must purchase the gifts from the tp medal shop, and talk to the fu that is in conton city and not where all the story quests start
