I have a fucking beef.
This grind for Advanced Paradox Amplifiers is total bullshit. To get the sword I had to run about 30 heroic strikes, and now I am working on some other weapon that calls for another 20 of the damned things. The Advanced versions NEVER fucking drop for me.
Add to that, the grind for mats for the "daily gift" is bullshit too. In ALL the strikes I ran last night, NOT ONCE did Savuthans Song come into rotation. I ran about 15 heroic strikes. Nothing but Cabal and Vex and Fallen. Once it got to about midnight, I started backing out of strikes after loading them in and seeing that they were the same ones I had been stuck with all night, then I gave up and went to bed.
Why do I bring that up? Because my daily "gift" needed me to kill 50 fucking thralls. Even after playing for literally HOURS, I didn't have a SINGLE. FUCKING. THRALL. KILL.
I love the game but Gad damn it, I think they are legitimately fucking people based on their inventory/quest parameters. I needed thrall kills for my schematic and never got one. I needed Advanced Paradox Amplifiers and only got SINGLE green amplifiers to drop. I used boons, I had fireteam members use boons....
I have been noticing that the spawn rate for mats seemed super light whenever I was looking for mats for the daily gifts, and I seriously suspect that if you have a quest for particular mats, they auto-nerf your chance to get them, and if that is the case, that is TOTAL fucking bullshit. I play this game enough without them fucking around like that.
When I had to grind for those damned Rare Alkine Spores, I literally had over 150+ Alkine Dust by the time I got three Spores. It's bullshit.
I just saw this. Hopefully those
s didn't patch it yet:
