I just spent 300 crystals on refreshes for Tier 3 speed mod sims, and not one arrow or triangle mod. I know that getting a speed primary mod is like winning a lottery, but seriously, getting these to mod types at all is like pulling teeth.Don't get me started on the fact that 3* mods are rewards for Tier 3. After so much time and energy and effort is spent getting toons ready to tackle the tier 3 mod challenges, to receive 3* mods is really poor!I get plenty of circle mods, so why are these ones so difficult? Just why?

because the more difficult it is, the more rewarding it becomes -_-

$$$$$$$Like everything (toons, ships, gear) some things are rarer than others in an attempt to prompt spending.

I was getting 2 grey mods per refresh most of the time

Do 3x refresh a day, for straight 6 month.. eventually u will get lot of them. Triangle and arrow mod is not 1 or 2 days job, it take months. :#

The least they could do is remove the 3* shit mods from the rewards in the Tier 3 battle, I can hsndle bad drop rates for the good stuff, but getting a 3* mod is a slap in the face!

Can someone explain to me why Triangle and Arrow mods are so rare?

To answer your question, the right side mods (including the arrow, triangle, and cross) are less abundant than the left side mods because that's the way the devs set it up.

In addition, the three left side mods can only have four possible primaries in total (square is always offense, diamond is always defense, and circle is either a health or protection primary stat), while the right side has many available primaries. So while the most desirable shapes are less available in general, the most desirable primaries for those shapes are even rarer (like speed primary on the arrow, crit damage on the triangle, and potency on the cross).

Then, getting desirable secondaries (speed, mainly) to show up on those already rare shape/primary combinations is even rarer. And finally, getting those super rare desirable secondaries that happen to show up on rare shape/primary mods to increase multiple times and transform into a serious OP God-mod is.... well, nearly impossible.

And in my opinion, that's a good thing. Otherwise I wouldn't get that unmistakable sense of accomplishment when I eventually get one. O_o

I heard that accomplishment bit somewhere recently...
Wasnt that when EA was "explaining" p2w in Battlefront 2?

Thanks for the detail and I do understand, but it doesn't help that I have been mod farming for the last few weeks with crystal refreshes, and still not getting the arrow and triangle mods.

I'm trying to get a few toons to be HAAT ready, and the longer it takes to get these good mods the futher away HAAT is and thats a real struggle with motivation to continue playing.

As we all know, "random" is questionable concept in this game....
Rarity leads to money spent in the attempt to reach a goal.....

Was around in those days, just didn't do any mod farming then. Now when I need the mods, I have to spend the next 6mths to get something good... really... wow! How awesome is that!!! /sarcasm

mod farming is never "done", so you're probably gonna be modfarming for the rest of your swgoh "carreer". I know i am and i've got more than 80 +30 speed arrows.
