PRAXIC CRYSTAL DROPS
I really don’t mind grinding for the crystal drops but when you go in to do contracts people seem to be not doing the main objective. Bungie putting collectibles in a 3 man event is quite annoying. It takes 15-25 minutes per contract and doing most of the main objective by myself while the other two are running around the map not helping is BS. Now about the topic, it took me 37 Dungeon runs to get the dark crystal. 10 runs to get the red crystal. 8 runs to get the indigo crystal. After the buff to drops on the Cyan I got it on my first exotic contract. The yellow was easy to get. As for the Orange and Magenta I have run over 75+ contracts on Mars and Venus with no luck. Please buff the drop rates. It is not fun doing these contract missions when your teammates are off not doing the main objective.

Locking certain crystals behind an EverWorse pay wall, and others behind difficult activities, is not a good idea, imho. The lightsabre should have been in the first slot of the seasonal loot table; and crystals should drop like Exotics did in D1…simply by playing the game - whatever path one chooses, ie, PvE or PvP…and RNG needed to be rather good as opposed to really not good! OP is spot on re 3x players with different agendas on the same mission…it’s the Gambit problem all over again! I chased the red crystal whilst also doing the Undertaker seal…it’s took 45-50 invasion runs to do it, though that’s not an issue because invasions are a solo run anyway. The black crystal I won’t get because I don’t do dungeons or raids….and if I did, the ridiculous drop rates would be a big negative to me. So, eff that for a game of soldiers! The 3x crystals from EverWorse - nah! Of the other ones available, I’m only missing a few, but am not bothered one way or another…if they drop - yay! If not - no biggy! What would have been more fun is to play search and find quests whilst in Explore mode, ie, no engagement with hostile and very annoying enemies. Ghosts - did that…on lowest mission setting, was okay for the most part, and as a solo run, it never conflicted with any other player. That is all. Ease Things! 🖖👻 MTFBWY
