The Feared Maven Invitation now requires Sirus and the Incarnation of Dread to be Witnessed instead of Chayula and Atziri.

Maven Invitation: The Hidden is now replaced with The Remembered, requiring witness of Courtyard of Wasting, Chambers of Impurity and Theatre of Lies.

Getting access to incarnation of Dread is WAY harder than Atziri/Chayula. This is pretty painful for running Feared.

Shaper: 4 guardians give 4 fragments for 1 Shaper attempt
Elder: 4 guardians give 4 fragments for 1 Elder attempt
Sirus: 4 guardians give 4 fragments for 1 Sirus attempt
Cortex: the 4 synth maps have a decent droprate off the end boss
All of the above guardian/synth maps drop off regular map bosses. Running these sets of 4 also give access to Maven invitations, making guardian rotations a legit farm.

Now the The Remembered invitation:
-step 1 find a memory tear
-step 2 run 4-8 T16.5 maps
-step 3 pray you got the one that ends with the correct boss. Even with the atlas passives allocated, not guaranteed!

The Remembered and the Feared invitations are locked behind an additional layer of RNG/tediousness that is frankly unwelcome. Adding some way to access/drop Memory Guardian maps outside of threads (maybe as a small % drop from T16.5 bosses?) would help a lot here.

Just like with all of the other invitations, you can use a witnessed uber instead.

I understand this is probably also not the answer you are looking for, but it does nullify the complaint about access being gated behind an extra layer of RNG.

How does that nullify the complaint? Uber fragments are the most weird RNG gated crap ever made. Because you can go 8-10x T17s and never get a full set dropping. I've farmed all frags for challenge myself this league and holy the range was wild. I had like 30% more Sirus, Cortex and Exarch ones than others. You gonna see endgame league prices on these new invitations pretty quick this time around, Feared farmers are one of the wealthiest out there.

Not arguing against your complaint, but I do want to check: Are you aware that specific t17s bias toward certain fragments?

If you ran mostly Abom and Sanctuary, that would (mostly) explain the drops you describe.

Other than that, yeah, Uber Frag rng is kinda rough.

At least they said they're increasing the drop rates proportionally to account for the newly added frags, so you should still get the same amount of "old" frags as you did before, and the new ones are just bonus (although obviously RNG will still be a big factor).
