Destiny 2 received a new activity called “Wellspring” with the expansion Witch Queen. In this activity, you can earn a particularly powerful weapon, but the drop rates are terrible, which makes players very angry. Read here on MeinMMO what it’s about and what Bungie wants to do.
What weapon is it about? It’s about the auto rifle “Come to Pass”. It can be earned every fourth day in the new 6-player activity “Wellspring” from the boss Golmag. The bosses and thus the loot in the Wellspring rotate daily, so you can only get this specific loot every 4 days.
Grind for the weapon “Come to Pass” is excessive and frustrating
What is the problem? In the expansion Witch Queen, you can craft weapons. The weapon Come to Pass is one of them. But to do this, you first need two versions of the weapon with the “Deepsight” trait. With this trait, you can extract materials from your weapons after sufficient use.
However, these Deepsight weapons are apparently extremely rare and according to many players, they almost never drop. This makes it extremely frustrating to obtain the ultimate version of Come to Pass.
After all, you can only attempt it every 4 days, and it may happen that you grind for hours and still get nothing.
What are the players’ reactions? Players are understandably angry and see the whole thing as frustrating and a waste of time. A powerful post on Reddit reads in the headline: “I will not engage with Wellspring until it respects my time as a player. If I miss out on the Exotic because of this, that’s how it is.”
In the thread, players complain that they have spent 20 or more sessions in the Wellspring and not a single needed weapon has dropped.
Other players, such as user and YouTuber KackisHD (via Twitter), complain that they farmed Wellspring for 5 hours and did not get a single weapon with Deepsight.
While the Wellspring activities are fun, the grind is simply too harsh.
This is what Bungie says: In response to KackisHD’s tweet, Dylan “dmg04” Gafner, Senior Community Manager at Bungie, stated that the development team is aware of the issue and will take a look at it.
This is not a confirmation that a fix is actually planned, but if the drop rate for the Deepsight weapons is indeed worse than intended, a fix is likely to come soon. So it’s better to farm something else for now, so you don’t waste your valuable playtime.
