Nebula Fragment, Over 4000 chests looted and countering! FOUR THOUSAND

[FURYous]

I have 9 toons I have been keeping on ransack for weeks now trying to get this thing. Thousands of shards in rerolls and OVER 4000 chests looted with no Nebula Fragment.

This is a STUPID way to run an event, I can't even start to play it without this item so basically I am locked out of the event for weeks now due to pure chance and NO OTHER WAY TO GET IT!

Charge me 100 Star Fragment for it and I will pay as I have those coming out of my ears, Hay? Sure, charge me 10,000 hays, I have those, How about saga turn ins? I have completed those several times on several characters.

Anything EXCEPT random F****** chance!

Weeks now and no response from devs at all.

Screw this, I put in the time and if you guys can't even respond then I am out. I am not going to play a game that refuses to allow me access to content no matter how much effort I put in.

Thank you for carrying the torch farther than I did. The only possible consolation is maybe none of the perfected artifacts would work out for your gear. I still find it ironic that in the same update that finally removed the universally hated RNG involved in getting an EROSS, they literally added 11 more of them via the Nebula Fragment.

Those are all good ideas.

Just "random" isn't inherently the problem. It's the insanely low drop rate. That's always been one of the main frustrations, miniscule drop rates for things. Just when you think they might be learning a lesson (Can't pull that Shard you need? Here, trade in new generic BtA ingredients to upgrade to Epic instead!) they go and introduce yet another stupidly low drop rate. They keep making the same mistakes over again.

I'd expect to be able to buy them with like threads or something in an update or two? Seems like a lot of farming lol. Super secret puzzle is already finished, AFAIK, so what's the rush?

I definitely agree you've farmed more than you should need to though lol.

I honestly don't care that much about the end reward, I am just ****ed that I can't play at all, I can't even start the freaking game no matter how much effort I put into it.

Lynnabel come out with this GREAT idea that we have been starved for and then BLOWS it by only allowing .01% of the server even play in it (don't give me that BS about how I could have searched without the fragment because without the frame there would be no confirmation that the alters found were even part of the hunt, or if there was more to do after the alters)

I was farming it to be part of the people figuring it out at the start, I DESPERITLY wanted to join the hunt! I play 40+ hours a week and to be shut out of even being able to TRY and solve this with other guys makes me sad about a great idea totally WASTED by limiting the participants to incredibly rare random chance. Now even after it is solved, I still can't even experience it first hand because I am locked out of even clicking on the alters without the frame.

Complete ruin of what should have been a great event

[Arkat]

I still haven't pulled any sort of Slave Master's Busts or Statuettes of the Gods from the Slave Lords dungeons.

I've given up on them, frankly, and no longer care.

I understand the frustration OP, but it's better to just move on.

From what I've read the intent was that you could find the altars without having the frame? But yeah it's definitely less meaningful, for sure.

Idk, I wish there was a way to avoid the whole puzzle becoming a public collaborative event that much; half of it was spoiled to me just from surfing the forums or watching YT stuff before I even knew what the frames were lol.

Oh well though, at least I'll be able to upgrade one quickly sometime next year when I can buy a frame with threads XD

You have to have the frame to get the message that you have found something that pertains to the event. If you don't have the frame and click an alter nothing happens

they literally added 11 more of them via the Nebula Fragment.

I believe there will me moar added relatively soonish.

[Fivetigers33]

There will be. The devs mentioned when they add in the legendary sands gear, some of those will also be perfectable. Cross your fingers you don't want any.

It's like going trick or treating, but not getting candy from any of the houses you go to. Such a good time...

It's the insanely low drop rate.

Time to repeat for the benefit of SSG: If you want something harder to get don't drop the droprate, increase the turn-in requirements. Nebula would have been just as hard to capitalize on if you had made the drop rate 10x what it is but required 10 of them for the turn in. But people would have felt progress being at 4 (of 10) nebulas vs 0 of 1 like you have now. They could have joined in on the shrine hunt before it was all documented. They could have been, less irritated by soemthing which should have made them happy.

It's a really low drop rate and I figure it's like jibbers low or close to its drop rate, where one will eventually get one but trying to actively farm for it is a path to madness.

[Tyrande]

OP, don't farm for it. I tried to get Jibbers for my characters and my characters have to have other characters in the party to pass them that. I have over 9 characters and so far my characters have looted 0 from the TTT end chest. The 2 my characters received were passed. I do not even remember how many times that quest was ran. And I do not want to even mention the Shard of the Ring of Spell Storing. Definitely not below several thousand times.

This so insanely much this.

After 4000 shards I did stop rolling. I was just running all 9 of my toons through 20 chests until ransack for weeks now. Gotta say the frustration level is beyond tolerable now, time to play BG3 until New World is released.

[LightBear]

Normally things get passed along for the rest of the party if one all ready has such an item.

I doubt anybody will pass up a nebula fragment, just like shard of the red dragon is hardly ever set for roll nowadays.
