Praise the Maker!!!

Thanks.

OP, it's not that they don't drop, they just don't drop for you. RNG hates you. It hates me too so I understand your pain.
 
There there.
 

You're right, it's just the RNG has a hate-on for me, and a few others. Is the hatred random as well as the Hakkon drops, or has the RNG Store seen that dark splinter in my malignant soul that I try so hard to hide?

Has anyone received a Level 27 or Hakkon from the Bioware RNG in the past two or three weeks?

 

I had been saving my gold and decided to drop the hammer.

 

I burned through about 165,000 gold in the past two weeks yielding nothing but salvage. 

 

Until Book 4 Challenge completion yesterday, I had only a single Hakkon (generously given by the RandonNumberGoddess in a Superb Requisitions Chest about 4 weeks ago) and zip/zero nada level 27 gear,

 

 

Has anyone receive something Level 27 or above recently from the DAI Store (gold or even platinum currency)?

Anyone?

Anyone?

 

Bueller?

Another Book Challenge - another disappointment:

 

Brand Sword

Rime Sword

Isatunoll Shield

 

2 Level 27 swords and I already have Hakkon's Honor, my only Hakkon weapon and I previously possessed zero Level 27s.

 

So zero sum game.  Thanks.

 

Please, oh RNG Bioware Dieties,........smile upon your sons,.....

 

 

,....just once ya bunch of weak-arsed goddlings!

I think you can add Level 27 weapons to the broken cookie jar, as well as the Hacked-off weps. RNG hasn't given me a non-salvaged item in the last 200K of gold.

The game has some fun moments, but this "everybody has one but me" feeling really is tiresome, along with the RNG non-random "No Haks or 27's For You, SUCKERRRR!"

I received the few Drakeskin I didn't possess because I didn't play the Rogue class much - no nothing of real value. I got so irritated after playing to fill up the stooopid Book 3 I spent all of my cash I'd been saving up for a rainy day, perhaps to buy a farm with some animals once the war was over. 125,000 gold later I have zip, zero, nada: still no Level 27, still no Hakkon - I mean I received shite for my investment. I received mucho purples that were all dups; one chest I actually had 7 purples.

I feel for you OP.

This random RNG Store scatology is just that!!

After finishing WE Challenge (2 wipe outs, 7 CTD/Disconnect), I played a couple of Perilous.  I can't tell any difference between Threatening and Perilous games this week-end. 

 

Have I gone mad? 

 

 

Conquest?,... Treasure?,..................MADNESS??

I thought Hrungr was an unofficial official.

So it's definitely not Armageddon,...or the Russians??

If you're on PC, try turning off Origin in Game (if you haven't already).

Thanks for the tip - I'll give it a try.

I crashed 6 of 8 games played this evening. Two of my crashes were Solo runs on Threatening and Perilous. I think I've managed to crash on every wave except Wave 1, today. Is there a banner for that?

Playing PC with AMD videocard and latest drivers. Rare problem before Patch 10 and today the crashes have been at game-buster frequency.

double-yew-tee-effe bye-oh-wear?

I'm having very similar occurrences on PC.  I just played 4 games, all PUG Perilous:

 - 1 host migration on Wave 3 with lost connection

 - 1 lost connection on Wave 4

 - 2 CTD at the very end of the match following defeat of the final enemy; no credit for game played or EXP

 

Four games with no completions,  Done for the night.

 

Bioware,......please

Four "no HUD" games in a row; only way to stop is 'Go Offline" in origin.  Slow progression on WE Challenge.

Same thing going on in PC land.  Finishing about 1 in four matches due to CTD.  Also started again to  see the 'freeze on game join' bug with absence of a HUD.

90% of my games are Solo due to Satellite ISP being fastest option in the area with an upload speed of only 1 to 3 Mbps, a 1 - 2 second lag and related weather knock-outs. The solo route has become too repetitive at present, and I've gone back to playing ME3MP where the lag on the same Sat-ISP is playable (at least on Silver) as a valuable team member. 

 

This would be a re-birth of the MP for me; takes me to the days of 'Solo' MP on Unreal Tournament with teammate bots.

 

Please Bioware,....

But we haven't even pointed out yet that you never managed to solo platinum.

You've been reading my diary, haven't you? HAVEN'T YOU!

 

1 and 2 would not be simply tweaks. The first is a loading screen effectively, attempting to improve performance in terms of speed would not be a trivial thing. 2 is tricky and would require a deal of thought, players have trivialized Perilous by having a redicilous number of promotions and best equipment. How can Bioware stop the power creep so that a new dificulty introduced does not become trivial for these same players? I dont think it would be an easy thing to do

I should go back and change the topic name to "Complicated Tweaks to Markedly Improve DAIMP for Casual/Noob/Lazy Players Like Myself".

Hmm. Just how do you think the Drellguard got the Drellgod nickname?

2000 hrs you probably know, unless you're on PS, then I understand.

I have to cede the point to all that have made a similar rebuttal in reference my statement of relative strengths of Krogs, Bats, ect. versus Drell, Asari, ect. I guess I was looking at it a bit differently, and perhaps incorrectly, in the ME3MP veteran's eyes. The point I was trying and failing to make is to appeal to the casual gamers, having some 'relatively' OP toons is not all bad.

My definition of 'relative' is more along the lines of toon survivability in a match in the hands of a casual gamer. As an example, a casual/newbie player with less than 100 hours might be able to survive to extraction in a ME3MP Gold with a Juggy, but be out of Med-jellies on Wave 2 with a vanilla Asari Adept.

My point was not well made, but I think for the long term support and additional DLC for DAIMP we need more casual players in the player base to keep total player numbers up and keep BioWare interested in us as a MP community. Recently Bioware has made the game more friendly to newbies and an AW nerf was deserved, but it seems some nerfs are overboard and I feel that hurts the overall player base numbers.

I am now going to my corner to pout.

Huh? Play much ME3MP?

Uh,... about 2000 hours.

Sorry - I guess I'm too obtuse to catch your point.



FRZN:
Good point on the HOK rings. What about the ability for Revive potions if we were offered a SOLO MODE option? Due to my poor Satellite Internet ISP (Exede), 80% of my games are solo runs and it becomes wearisome to fall over dead due to a single misstep, especially when struck in the head by an archer's "magic" lethal hit arrow shot on Wave 5.

Some very simple changes that would make my DAI-MP experience much more fun:

1) Drop the match introduction mini cutscene at the beginning of every game - after 5000 times the minute or so it wastes and the increased chance of loss of connectivity with game load off-host is beyond a waste of time

2) Add a Nightmare level for the high skilled/high promotion players

3) Add the equivalent of Medigels/Autorevives - even if you can only carry 2

4) Allow some characters to remain OP when compared to others- nerfing every toon to a common denominator makes the already vanilla cast of characters that much more colorless. ME3 had OP Krogan, Batarians and even Turians compared to Asari and Drell.

You know, variety?

Spice of life?

I played the game for seven months with only 1 Superb HOK in chests purchased with over 1M worth of gold.

Last week I received three (3) 10% HOK Superb rings over 14 Warrior chests.

This week-ends chests are over priced for gold, but reasonably priced in Platinum to make you want to buy Platinum with your real fiat currency - please don't.

PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE BIOWARE MONEY MONSTER.

If you do and society crumbles, you will only have yourself to blame.

I gave mine to the Clinton Foundation to do "good deeds" across the world.

 

Oh,...and for the women and children, too.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY  OVER PRICED!

 

Bought two chests for 30K, 1 of each chest type => salvaged all for junk mats.

 

NO MAS!

dang,......all I got was the OP's "How To Easily Farm The High Dragon In Perilous Difficulty" video.

No top hats - OR - unicorns.

Playing with friends is still fun, but I can no longer grind PUGS for gold, XP and gear. The RNG Store does indeed give more Purple Cards, but I am seeing a constant rotation of Level 8-11 Uniques and Runes that are worthless to me at this stage of the game.

I went back and started playing the ME games. Just finished ME1 and started ME2; truly a gamers work-of-art.

Sooo... you looked didnt you?

 

Yep.  Proud to say I did.

 

Spent a good 2 - 3 minutes getting the lighting, leg position, and camera angle just right. 

 

A triangulate black bikini thong, perhaps?
