Game Saturated by RNG - Please Reduce

Got about 70 hours in the game. Love it. Core gameplay and the atmosphere are spot on. I’m not going into the problems that persist in the game, as that’s not the point, and it’s been covered in other posts. I’m just here to ask to reduce some of the randomness of the game. The armory, the contracts, the customisations? (not sure on that one), and especially the maps.

I expect a bit of grind to the game. It keeps us playing for more hours. But when we need to do specific things to garner rewards (penances, contracts, etc), and we’re relying upon the map to RNG scripts/grims to a level requirement that we’re looking for that doesn’t always provide (I’m sorry I’m not good enough to get those scripts from the ONLY map that has them and that’s on level 5 difficulty), which means I’m either playing a junk map to fill time, or just simply waiting until a map falls off and a new one refreshes in the hopes that it will have what I need.

This has happened more than once.

Also, I can be onboard with the idea that the armory is randomized, but the AMOUNT of randomization is too much. I am again, relying upon RNG to get a weapon class that I’m looking for, and with the stats that I want, and if that’s not there, I have to wait another hour?

This has also happened more than once.

I understand SOME RNG to happen but as of now it’s off putting and far too prevalent.

I really want to pick the map I want to play. I mean I paid for a game that seems to prioritize bilking us for cash with a very predatory system of cosmetic enhancements ON TOP of already shelling out $40+ for the base game.

I’m only complaining because I really do like the game.

Very bad news but if you go and read today’s dev update they don’t plan on reducing rng but are actually increasing it with the first crafting update!

Sigh, of course they are.

How else are they gonna keep players around?
Imagine if you could just get what you wanted straight away without any effort.
Sounds like it’d be something fun. Not allowed.

“it seems the players really love the hourly refreshing store and the rng in the game so far, we simply must have more!”
