Um I've played the Alert every day since the DLC was made available to Legendary...

...and I still haven't received a controller trinket for my controller, or Handblasters weapon for my healer.

Funny thing is, my healer keeps getting the controller trinket, that I need on my controller that's just not dropping for her.

As for the Handblasters, I haven't got them on either toon. It would be nice for me to get Handblasters on my healer - it just feels like impossible for me to get Handblasters.

I also have yet to get the controller face for my controller.

Meanwhile, I keep getting DPS and Tank gear and trinkets on my characters. Also, my controller keeps getting the healer trinket. What help is that?

If you only got what you wanted from runs then there would be very little reason to run then more than a handful of times.

Welcome to the MMO genre.

It's random, but if you're impatient you can buy the trinket you want from the vendor. I did this and then immediately got duplicates.

My controller just feels cursed, because on my healer I got the healer face and trinket pretty quickly. My controller just can't get a controller face or trinket. And I've played the instance every day on both toons.

My DPS with two pairs of Traces tank legs, who spent two months running around with a shield because he couldn't get a decent rifle drop, who's rocking three pieces of precision DPS 87 gear, has thismuch sympathy for you right now.

Buy the Trinket for 30 Marks

to Op it happens to me. To fix this problem for a whole week just run the alert as your controller ONLY. The more alts you run on the same instance changes the loot distribution. I ran with 3 alts a day and everyone got off role loots more often. I did a week of just my controller and got all i needed (weapons included) expect for the controller face.

It's amazing to me how few actually grasp this rather simple concept.

I would just buy it if I were you with that kind of luck.

I keep getting tank drops on my troller and DPS/troller drops on my healer. It was frustrating every time I get a loot that I can not use. So I just bought the ones I need from the wasteland vendor.

Pray harder to the Random Number Gods.

4+ months of playing the t5 alerts, solos and raids and have yet to get any MA weapons.

I've yet to see a troller trinket fall either. I've seen three healers, two tanks, and one dps trinket. I'm happy I got the dps one as it's my main role but I still want a troller one for my alt role.

My dps alt has the clown nose trinket while my troller main doesn't....

hmmm sounds like you need new mods....maybe you should farm more exos?

Righty o, Circe you need to take a break and regroup and plan it out next time.

I'm a primary dps/secondary controller and I've had trinkets for both my roles drop, and for the tank and healer (salvaged those), and full 84 armor drops for both, with the exception of a belt for my controller. I've had two unattuned 167 rifles drop, and 167 hand blasters, staff, brawler, one handed, dual wield, and MA weapons. And I didn't use replay badges. Some folks are just unlucky.

I got one today from the Trigon Alert After the Wayne Family boss fight. Exactly the same stats as the purchasable one, and when either one is activated, the other goes on a cool-down, too... so it's pretty pointless if you've already purchased it.

Does anyone know if that's intended, by the way? Whenever I activate any of the T5 trinkets, they set the cooldown off on all of my trinkets. Yet if I have the FOS trinkets and the Summertime event trinket in my utility belt, I can rotate them. Even today.

I ran the TP alert every day since early release and I burned up 300 replays and didn't get a staff till 2 days ago.But hey that's how it goes sometimes.In a week or so I'll be reading your thread about how you are getting to many trinkets and want something else
You are always good for a laugh Circe. I'm so glad I only read your posts tho, cause irl you have to be.....omg LOL

Best way I've found to deal with this problem is the following.

-at the character select screen, press triangle
-type in your characters name
- press enter

This usually resolves most people's issues with the game. Either this, or quit complaining so damn much.
