Crux Convergence is too Rare

I spent three hours roaming Europa with a couple friends last night, and we were specifically searching for Crux Convergence public events to complete the “Brig Brigade” triumph. In three hours we got exactly one. Just one. That’s just unacceptable, and a waste of our time. Something needs to change, since this triumph is required for the Splintered seal. Here are some suggestions: 1: Change Brig Brigade to not require a fireteam. I don’t want to specifically form a team to hunt these things and never get one. If I’m on Europa by myself I should be able to get progress if I happen upon the event. 2: Make the Eclipsed Zone only have the Crux Convergence event. At least 1/3 of the events would give progress, which would be acceptable and thematic for that zone. 3: Swap the four levels of Brig Brigade with other triumphs that aren’t in the seal. There’s plenty of optional stuff that’s way more engaging than Brig Brigade and also not in the seal. Personally, I think option 2 is best. I just want the RNG nightmare to end, so please consider a change! [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been updated with tags that are more appropriate.

  • This is about the only public even I see in Cadmus ridge, and I’m there a lot. Sometimes I’ll see the vex spire, but crux convergence is always there

  • Yeah its crazy rare. Ive needed 2 more brigs for the final step of the triumph for ages. So I decided to just get it done, ive been going for upwards of 3 hours now and still NOT A SINGLE public event has been crux convergence. Ridiculous

  • Yeeeeea, no hate but I'ma have to downvote this one. It does stink that theres no way to just go farm it, but I think you're argument fell apart when you mentioned going after it for the Splintered seal. Assuming you've been staying on top of both the toy Penguins and the Augment Triumphs, there's still 5 weeks left before you can get the title. This is Week 4 of Beyond Light, so we aren't even halfway to the earliest possible date for the seal. This means that in order to have the triumph completed to get the seal at the earliest date possible, you need to do a total of 3 Crux Convergence events a week with a fireteam, and only one of those three has to be heroic. Honestly, I don't think the inability to grind something out "right now" warrants a change to the system, because this isn't something that is meant to be easily farmable. Even if you just do pub-events here and there with your team it shouldn't be too hard to finish. I'm at like 38/50 and we've never once gone in and tried to farm them. It would be different if you were actually being locked out of something by RNG -- for example, when Last Wish first launched, you needed the collection badge for the raid in order to get the title, and included in that loot pool was the Sparrow you get with the glittering key, as well as 1KV, which were both rare RNG drops and locked people out of the seal since you can only raid three times a week.

    • The frequency is all over the place. My friends and I had 9 crux convergences in a row and then we didn’t have another for over an hour and a half

    • I agree that requiring you to be in a fireteam is really stupid. They need to change it so that as long as you do damage to one before it dies then it counts (ie don't need the final blow). I rarely get to run in a fireteam and when I do its for a raid, dungeon, gambit or IB, not to go on patrol. I also wonder if the triumph is bugged since some people claim to have made progress solo.

        • I lucked out and got 7 spawns in a row when on patrol in a fireteam, and I was able to knock out the Brig Brigade triumph very quickly. I can't say I've had any issues.

          Your first problem is intentionally looking for it, which is out of line with bungies intention. It’s your choice to watch a pot expecting it to boil as fast as you want it. It’s a triumph for yearly relevant destination seal. It’s week 4.

          • Or you could all be in 3 different instances to force it to have a 3x spawn chance

              I didn’t know you need a fire team,I have got 30 kills on the triumph solo I think it just means IF you have a fireteam,kills count for everyone

              • Camp either Camdus or Asterion. I’m pretty sure those are the only places it spawns. I got around 3 while waiting for my scanner enemy.
