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.
    The CE to duel Lyon in SF is also the worst as there is always a possibility that you end up getting screwed by other players' position on random meteors aoe placement and also not getting on towers compared to the Scorpion boss which only has 2 vs 6.

    The RNG is so thick you can taste it honestly

    Fact is that they shouldn't be using a pure RNG system for this marred with content that only very specific people are going to ever get. Bazja is literally a grinder, so the rewards should be measurable in time to complete. However, that isn't the case with the field notes because you can get every note but one, and if that one note is something like Lyon 1 or some 5 star, that one missing item can take over a month to acquire if at all. RNG is RNG so without a known pity system in place someone can go for half a year playing nightly and never see it.

    I would be willing to trade x2000 Platinum coins for a single field note… but alas.
