Is it me or?

Yup. Some days you're the dog while others you're the fire hydrant.

I never understand the “game is RNG dependent” complaints.

Of course it is. 100% of the moves you make is based on RNG. Most of the time it goes your way, sometimes it doesn’t.

Most of the time I don’t get character shards from a farming location, sometimes I do. I can refresh my energy and do fifteen battles only to get one piece of salvage that I need. The odds are never in your favor; you have to overcome your disadvantage by playing it over and over and over again.

Of course rng is always involved. But when squad battles are literally a coin flip it takes the fun out. But this wasn't even really the point. Op was saying that arena suddenly seems to go against him rng-wise. Seem that way to me also, but I realize it may only be bad luck.

I have found doing 2 at a time give a better drop rate, usually never below 30%

You should give 3 at a time a try! It’s a game changer

To respond how I read the question: I also find that esp. vs JTR teams that I used to beat pretty consistently with my titans, the last day or 3 it's closer to 50-50, and those I win are much closer as well - while mods have remained the same for all.

Did they do something to JTR behind the scenes? I feel she is moving even faster than before..

Oh lord, not this silliness again.... :s

It's the influx of Easy speed mods for every body. Now that people can more easily get speed mods, even weaker teams can outpower stronger teams with speed.

Actually yeah, last few days I have experienced that as well.

Ty cyril, that was my point exactly. I wasn't speaking to farming, or mod speed increases, simply that the arena battles lately to me have seemed overly determined by rng more than squad comp, power, or skill, which doesnt make it fun. If i wanna bet on the odds of me winning, ill go to vegas.
