So Just A Little Rage On Equinox Acquisition Now That My Grindwall Has Ended And Timewall Has Begun.

[CrazyCatLad]

Night parts x3

Day parts x3

Night Aspect

Day Aspect

 

Took me about 25 runs. And that's apparently lucky.

 

Please don't ever do that ever again for anything unless there is guaranteed acquisition after a quest/mission.

 

 

I get that it was a difficult frame to make but you didn't have to pass that suffering along to your loyal fans.  As for the timewalls...each aspect should take 12 hours max to craft, not 3 days.

 

I knew I voted against her in the Design Council for a reason.

 

 

Thank you for Atlas though, he's pretty smexy overall.

it took me a lot more because night systems did not want to drop

[Weltraumfred]

28 runs, 2 weeks to build (because I only play on Weekends).

 

Was kinda annoying, mitigated by the fact that the assassination mission itself was quite fun. But after 28 runs in a row, even the most fun missions get annoying.

I think it's worth the wait. Though I do understand what you mean.

Blame RNG for removing the odds from your side...

 

But it's basically 'normal'. From my experience... I played solo and after getting the part I needed, I stopped, built it and then go farm again... Took me 12 runs total. :)

It's supposed to be hard to get. Like any free to play game. It's a lot of work to get good stuff or you can just buy it with $$$/plat from the market. DE has to make money some how.

Uhhhhhhh no. This is a different level of absurd RNG and even more absurd timewalls.  I consider myself lucky getting it under 30 runs.

 

Why would you defend such practices?

Probably because this time wall issue isn't the norm? They've done it twice out of, what, 20 frames not including primes? I find it reasonable because of how this frame works ability wise. It's basically two frames fused into one. Annoying, sure, but sound when it comes from a lore standpoint.

[Vasault]

28 is nothing, i'm over 30 and i haven't found any night part

[Zachatoo]

Psh Equinox is easy to get, she's in the market, just fork over your platinum.

Free to play, there must be grind.

[(PSN)Soul-9181]

Yeah well we've all had to do it. If you don't like it buy it and save us from another whining on thread.

Let's see...

You have a 86% chance to get it under 30 runs. Not lucky - *likely*

At 20 runs, you already have a better than 50% chance of getting it. (53.1%)

Oh brother.

 

I've been playing this game for 2.75 years and I think the progression of things is concerning.

[(PSN)teh1tank]

I didn't mind, gave me enough time to codex scan everything and Tyl got me a lot of Galium.

 

And yes, 25 runs is insanely lucky.

Yeah not reading all of that while at work. 

 

Are we assuming all 6 8 parts drop equally?

[ShardsSuperior]

Yes. I believe it was found that the parts had equal drop chances a while back.

Respect the grind :|

 

[Machayna]

That's the one I needed too.  48 runs.  Not to mention there were a few bugs that wouldn't allow us to extract and some time being stuck in sharkwing just floating around the map or not able to get out of the water as you get electrocuted during boss fight.  =(

[RealPandemonium]

I think DE is moving toward making frame acquisition a medium-to-long term goal, rather than something you do in a few minutes.  This is good for their business model and is also good for getting players to actually experience the game instead of speedgrinding everything and then complaining on the forums that there's nothing to do.
