Some Stances Are Ridiculously Hard To Get!

[Cleesus]

Ive farmed Tranquil Cleave, Crushing Ruin, Crimson, Crossing Snakes and a few others regularly. There are a few spots I go too that drop them semi regularly. I base my whole trading ability on getting these mods. While im farming I sometimes forma gear to level up. 

 

The best way still is using a slash weapon like DK and Mehkros descrate. I do that every now and then but mostly stick to Valkyr and Zephyr and going to about 30 mins in melee only survival.

[HolidayPi3]

Been farming for Tranquil since the day it was released every day for a couple of hours. No luck. Same with Decisive Judgment.

I really wish weapon stances were linked to a sort of achievement-- like having a relatively difficult mastery test once you rank a weapon of a certain weapon type to 30, which rewards the stance upon completion-- different tiers for different stances, with tiers increasing per forma you put on your weapon. First 30 will reward the uncommon stance. Second 30 will reward a rare stance of your choice. This way you can master a bunch of weapons of a specific weapon category and unlock all the stances for the category.

Makes sense with how stances should be a reflection of someone's dedication to a fighting style.

 

[TroziKR]

I know the reason is that "dedicated players should be able to get them after a while"

But please, I've done hundreds of missions trying to get them & nothing in return.

 

The only "reliable" way would be to get lucky at transmuting or by the trading channel & then prices asked are often ridiculous as well (I'm all for supporting the game & bought more than a few times platinum but frankly...).

 

Would I be the only one in this case?

If so tell me what's wrong with what I'm doing, if not please raise the drop chances a little, thank you.

 

3Days after U13 got all stances without problems, u just have bad luck for drops ( yea i mostly get from transmutation but got them without problems ). Now i have alot spare ones from drops.

Even Transmutation is terrible broken now used over 200 rare mods & half of them result to useless common mods so my 2 milion cred was terrible wasted and still wont get the legenday, Gleaming Talon, Scrimson Dervish & Stalking fan. if some on have it pm your offer to me.

The problem isn't the drop rates, it's the enemies they put mods on. They put an UNCOMMON dagger mod on an enemy that doesn't spawn outside alerts, Nasceous crawlers. This mod stops being uncommon and starts being extremely rare the second you put it on a mob that doesn't exist outside alerts. Many mods are like this, "uncommon" yet end up being as rare as some of the raest mods in the game.

 

Please adjust mob spawns or move drops off nearly non-existent mobs, thank you.

Only Stance I'm missing is Gleaming Talon, and I'm just going to let that one naturally come to me.   I don't use the Glaive..but...I do like Kestal.... (sp?) 

 

Basically...SOON

Transmutation requires discipline, much like gambling.  When you go to a casino, you need to go in with the attitude that you'll gamble X amount of money, and once it's gone you're out.  Apply the same to transmutation, you have 5.5 million credits and you are only going to spend 500k on transmutation, after that you quit and do something else.

 

DISCIPLINE!  Oh and luck helps.

Luck helps a lot.

I got 2 Decisive Judgements in a row.

[xkillo32]

 He drops Tranquil Cleave? That might explain that random Tranquil Cleave sitting in my inventory.

before a hot fix he dropped it

[Nijuroku]

Sometimes you get it when you're not even trying.

Here's a fun clip of Steve saying, "We're not gonna make you grind out mods in order to get this new system, all the new stuff is gonna come in there." on an infinite loop.

[Zarlockk]

I got 12 stances only, 7 of those from transmuting and out of 12 5 are rares. Others are not dropping.

Please, I read the wikia & ask community advice regularly, don't you think I tried that?

Take the glaive stance for exemple, I killed hundreds of leech ospreys, on every map where they spawn a lot (europa, eris...) & didn t even drop once.

 I KNOW it's supposed to be hard to get, but some are REALLY near impossible to get...

did you bring a Nekros? I got two decisive judgments because of a Nekros.

Ouch that's a lie right there. =/

[stickybuds]

transmuted crossing snakes and bleeding willow back to back.

 

for some reason i have way too many tornado and chaos, so i reroll em into commons. every once in a while, awesome.

[Shevrock]

I have been farming for the Nikana stance since U13 hit. Defense and survival on Earth and Phobos every day, at least five times a day with a nekros as often as possible, and i still haven't gotten it. I have enough machete mods for all the butchers I've killed in the process though.

You have no idea how many times, I have listened to this because of that link.

 

Geez. If only he was right when he said that. Would have made things a ton more fun. Because honestly, Locking all the new systems behind RNGwalls is a biiiit frustrating. Especially after time and time of them saying they are trying to /reduce/ the RNG farming. Yet, It increases.

[Shevrock]

I think it would be cool if we could Honest to god CRAFT the stances. Maybe you get the BP when you finish building or buying the weapon?

[ra9una]

The thing is, that the devs don't intend mods to be something you can go out and get (which kind of suck). In there minds (I think, not quoting anyone), you just play the game and eventually "oh look a tranquil cleave, that's cool" by chance (in which case the system works as intended.) So, yeah, you are doing something wrong, you're actually looking for it...... which is... yeah. Not a perfect system.

 

The only "reliable" way would be to get lucky 

...ha.

[Joyfulmama]

Think it's just a matter of luck, i got tranquil cleave 30 seconds when i joined a survival at 2minutes on cambria

It seems to me like setting something up to frustrate their actual likely player base, while appealing to a hypothetical ideal user who frankly is probably already playing Farmville for their casual timewall experience, is a really terrible idea.

Bookmarked to listen to any time DE manages to get me excited about something they promise. Best reminder that only disappointment follows lies. Edited May 5, 2014 by Frigglish

transmutation is your friends, take those spare rare mods you dont need and put them to use.

How to pay both credits AND mods for another copy of Razor Shot.

[KIREEK]

Got like 1/4 or 1/3 of all of the stances via transmuting uncommons and rares, i have plenty of duplicates to do trades, if i sell them then the plat is enough to buy some rare stances.

 

I honestly doubt players can't sell random junk and other stances, gather enough plat and then buy the stances they want.

[blizzur]

lol you say it would be more fun if you would play 2 weeks and have everything ingame?

 

its cool..i have always something to do :)
