RNG is Back with ZODIAC Relic

[gamesmart]

You just wanna complain about everything, don't ya? This segment of the relic quest is probably one of the easiest after Zenith (and the original relic quest given today's gear). Without that RNG people literally would've been done within maybe 8 hours of the patch going live. And it's still nothing compared to what Atma was pre-nerf - I'm currently on the somewhat unlucky side (at least 6 hours of dungeons each day since launch of the quests and only 5/16 drops) and I'm still enjoying this far more than Nexus light grinding.

And "50+ posts and 1000+ comments over a long period of time" is nothing compared to the rate of the (overly redundant) cash shop threads that started about a month and a half ago. Also note that your thread is the only complaint thread I've seen about these new quests, I don't think people find this as bad as you do.

i would like to think that lights was easier.

Anything where you can track progress is easier. Lights was tedious and time consuming, but, I was able to track progress on a spreadsheet and pretty much knew how much more I needed. They could have done 2 ways of getting the new drops, either lucky with rng or run dungeon 10 times and get the item. Strictly RNG is just painful especially where AV is concerned. I think one of the dev teams at SE just wants to have some good laughs at the players expense since I am sure their numbers indicate how little that dungeon is run not because it is particularly hard, but because it is so damned annoying.

It was more straightforward, but I'd rather run dungeons than Garuda HM 6 hours straight. :|

If you're going to post the word "only", at least do your research first.

Here's another complaint thread for you:

Also this thread here isn't a complaint thread, but there are posts in it complaining about it:

I do agree that there doesn't seem to be quite as much hate as for ATMA (and cash shop) so, for now at least, it doesn't seem to be widely despised.

Well, I did say it's the only one I'VE seen, but then again I don't go prowling around hunting for complaint threads so I figured I missed another one. Still though, nowhere near as bad as the previous segments. Until we come across the poor sap who can't get the AV drop even if his life depended on it...
