I told myself that I was going to get the Suros Regime catalyst first, then I would work on the 3 new PvE catalysts. I put all other D2 activities on hold as I chase this catalyst. Well, 27 games of crucible later and I'm running out of steam. It doesn't fill me with confidence when I have only seen one person receive the SR catalyst during my grind.
Catalyst drop rates really need to be looked at. We need to have increasing chances at getting catalysts until it becomes a sure thing. I have 700 hours of play time invested in Destiny 2. To put that in perspective, this places me in the top 16th percentile for play time. Here are all the catalysts that drop from non-raid activities, that I just can't seem to get:
Riskrunner
Wardcliff Coil
Worldline Zero
Coldheart
*EDIT
I am dumb. I thought that the catalyst was supposed to have a high drop rate, and that it was only dropping during arc week. Based on how Bungie handled the Faction Rally catalysts, I thought that we wouldn't get another opportunity to get them.
*EDIT2
I won 17 of those 27 games: https://destinytracker.com/d2/profile/xbl/Never-EZ

Edited by W33DEDPLAGUE: 4/16/2019 7:27:22 PMIt's rng man, that's what destiny is built on. People need to stop expecting things to drop quickly...sometimes they wont. I've been doing the mountaintop quest for 3 weeks and dropped the catalyst yesterday, after almost 200 matches since it released. It may take a while. Basing your playtime around an rng item isn't always going to give you the result you are looking for. Just play what you want and eventually the catalyst will come. I don't think catalysts NEED to be easily or quickly dropped. They are more of a bonus item that happens when it happens but I know not everyone looks at it like that. Lol, I got the suros catalyst and THEN got the vigilance wing catalyst for a kill a couple of matches later...so it's been how long that I haven't had THAT ONE? Catalysts are fine the way they are, we don't need everythING to drop immediately after its released, it adds incentive to keep playing long-tern. Regardless, Im hearing it drops mainly on wins, so maybe that's part of it.
