Data Anomalies BUG

The last thing I need for my ‘Mecha-Done’ achievement is a blueprint that drops off the ‘data anomaly’ rares that can be summoned with quest items that drop from various sources around Mechagon. Obviously as the last item needed for this achievement this is pretty personal to me, but RNG is RNG and I am willing to accept when I’m unlucky.

The problem is, I am hit with a bug in which only some of the rares I or others summon are even lootable. If anyone says something like ‘you can only loot the rares once daily’ it means you haven’t read this properly, because this is always the first time I kill these rares. Effectively there are 4 items that summon rares and on the day when the ‘discs of norgannon’ quest is active you are allowed (supposedly) 4 attempts at the item you want (the hologram blueprint in my case), one per summoning item. However, this is made difficult that some of the rares are just unlootable, not even dropping junk, spare parts or what not, having no sparkle and not being clickable in any way.

Now, the done thing is to abandon the quests after you summon the rares to allow for a resummon the following day - much to my chagrin, since last time the quest was up I didn’t realise this, and since then have had to beg people with the items to summon the rares on off-days. Whether or not this is an exploit is debatable, but it is the done thing and is how most people have obtained the blueprints they need from these rares. This is by the by though, since today the quest was finally up, I grinded the items myself and , to my disappointment, was only able to loot 2 of the mobs I summoned (again, I DON’T mean they dropped spare parts or trash - they were not interactable in ANY WAY after dying, and I had NOT killed them already, they had a silver dragon)

It seems in your eagerness to make this meta achievement more grindy, you have introduced a bug that makes it harder for people who chose not to exploit last year. Even were I not to use the ‘trick’ of resummoning the mobs daily and go about this completely legitimately, I would still be unfairly disadvantaged because most of the rares I need to kill for my last blueprint aren’t. Even. Lootable. Whereas people who exploited heavily have no problems!
