Field Records: RNG or Grind?

[Vahlnir]

It's not so much the RNG that bothers me in itself so much as the fact that in some cases there's RNG stacked atop RNG to the point of frustration.

I do think that there should be some anti-frustration features in place for those who get very unlucky.

Yeah, this is also true. Fates largely spawn at random, even when the ones that require prep have been prepped. It could be hours before they actually show up, and even after all of that the note drop rates are so low it's unreal. Then there's the duels, which you have to survive a CE with 47 random people and take no avoidable damage (easier said than done depending on the CE) after waiting for that specific CE to pop at all, then you have to compete with anywhere from 4-12 other people to maybe get into the duel. CLL and Dalriada? Well, neither one isn't so bad as far as accessing and completing, but the drop late for Lyon's notes from CLL is way too low for the time investment at the end, made even worse by the 30-60 respawn timer depending on the instance. For Dalriada it takes that drop rate and makes it even more random by throwing 2 extremely rare drops into the same chest....



My head hurts just thinking about all of that. lol I'm no stranger to RNG, both good and bad, but this is just...ridiculous to me.
