At it again complaining about something new!
You know, the thing I'll say about my last thread, "Bungie couldn't balance a cup on a table.". Hindsight is 20/20. A lot of these adjustments feel "better" with year 2 weapons, but a lot of my argument is still right with some things to a certain degree.
However this thread will focus on Exotic drop rate, (not the lack their of, but the repetition of those you already have), and how pointless moldering shards feel.
So Exotics. You know, once i had 3 Exotic Special Weapon Engrams. I'm thinking "Oh man, Telesto? Maybe Here After? Ohhhh Mannn! No. Nope. Nah...Not even close. That Cryptarch sure as shit got his smug ass grin back, and i instantly bought me a Cryptarch troll face t-shirt because....
FREAKING 3, COUNT THEM! 3 INVECTIVES! IN A ROW!
Ohhhh and that was just the start, JUST the start.
Bungie: "[i][b]We've changed the loot system so you get less of what you already have, and higher chance to get new things[/b][/i]."
Really? When? In a test build that we never -blam!-ing got? I mean, if this system was even kind of effective i would not get 3 Invectives in a row, Oh btw, I already had one, I bought it because i wanted a reliable shotgun that I knew well for PVP. So 4 Invectives. ...Along with 2 Suros Regimes (bought a new one of them as well!), 3 Hawk moons, (oh Shit bought it too!) 3 Saint-14's, 2 Skullforts, 2 Truth's, and 2 4th horseman's. I have gotten No new Exotics except for 1 Titan helm, and Quest Exotics i earned myself.
Like really? Reallllyyy? And I double checked ya know, Does RNGesus have a thing against me right now, or is it everyone? And most of my friends agree, its everyone. They all seem to get the same exotics over and over and over.
On the Upside, i have no shortage of Exotic Shards.
On the down side, I decrpyted half of these when i was 303 Light. Not a single 310 Exotic. Not a single one. None.
It's broke, fix it.
Now on to Moldering Shards and raid loot.
4 Bosses, not including what i call the Demon door, which can give you a Ghost, Fusion rifle, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, or LMG from what I've seen.
I have yet to find any site that can reliably and fully cite me what each boss can drop loot wise. That isn't the issue.
The issue is these -blam!-ing... [b]Moldering... Shards. [/b]
I've used [b]20 [/b]of them 3 times on Oryx.
On 2 Occasion I only got 1 Item from Oryx when they were used. What is the point of using them? I feel like its a complete rip off system.
The description reads: " [i] Extra rewards will be granted when defeating Oryx in the King's Fall Raid with at least 20 of these. [/i] " , which is a complete lie.
It SHOULD read, " [i] [u]Oryx is still cackling his Chitin ass off at you, as he floats towards Saturn, cause he still won.[/u] [/i] ".
The one time i did get an extra item from Oryx using the shards it was an Exotic.... [spoiler][b]AND IT WAS MOTHER -blam!-ING INVECTIVE![/b][/spoiler]
So please Bungie...We really hate being decieved, Especially when you are actually giving us good content.
A turd in the middle of a nice meal, ruins the whole meal, for everyone.

I agree, 5 exotic engrams that gave me all crest of alpha lupi! I have no new exotic chest pieces for this character! I get maybe 2 in a row, but 5, this is not RANDOM, this is CONSISTENT! Please fix asap!
-
I feel you brother, I've gotten at least 6 KnuckleHead radar helms and nothing else. The only NEW exotic i got was the gauntlets for my Warlock that i bought from Xur but all other drops are things I have already. I'm about to farm Legendary Marks just to buy the upgraded version so their in my inventory to lessen my so called chance of getting something i have.
-
I had 2 special weapon engrams and here after and telesto
-
This shouldn't be coming as a surprise to anyone.
-
Here's the thing about chance. It's a chance.
-
Same here. Except I just can't stop getting Crest of Alpha Lupi. And the whole time, I'm freaking wearing the damn thing!
-
"Destiny....become mediocre!" "Destiny, because 50 mil a year just isn't enough!"
-
LOOT SYSTEMZ IS ARE BROKEN! that's what you sound like.
-
Consider this my signature. I agree that the loot system is completely broken. That's not to say that I haven't gotten any good drops. I've gotten a couple year 2 helmets, and a couple supercells. But I've been given MANY consecutive duplicates. Not to mention that it took me 4 times killing golgoroth before finally getting armor. And I'm almost always the highest dps by a long shot. Wtf is that garbage. 4 -blam!-ing times, 1 piece of armor. Jesus.
-
Ever since they said they lowered the exotic drop of three of coins I've only gotten one exotic for over 40 coins now after using at least 5 coins at once. The raid has only ever given me moldering shards. The court of oryx has had its drops needed to consistently now only drop items of 260-270 Defence or attack stats and always come pre decrypted now...? I love how they do some hidden changes whilst they do a hot fix but only tell you two or three things that changed which so far very fix has been to stop people progressing in level. Getting my character now to a decent light level for more raids has now been significantly hindered!
-
They said you wouldn't get the same things from legacy engrams for collection completing.
-
20 fking invective man, 20
-
Dude I've gotten about 7 alpha lupis for my hunter. Bungie lies period
-
So true. The only exotics the game will give me are ones I already have...and I have to use Three of Coins to get them to drop an engram anyway. I have never gotten an exotic drop off the new raid, even using those worthless moldering shards. I only receive Crest of Alpha Lupi...ALL THE -blam!-ING TIME! So sick of this -blam!-ing exotic. Stop dropping it for me. The first 5 were enough, what another -blam!-ing Crest of Alpha Lupi? Crest of Alpha Lupi and Monte Carlo are all I get now. [b][i]I JUST WANT SOMETHING NEW I DIDNT ALREADY RECEIVE A HUNDRED TIMES LAST YEAR.[/i][/b] [b][i]I ALREADY HAD ALL THESE WEAPONS AND ARMOR PIECES. I DONT WANT TO CONTINUE RECEIVING THEM. [/i][/b] WHATS THE POINT OF FORCING US TO USE NEW SHIT AND MAKING ALL OUR YEAR 1 ARMOR OBSOLETE IF ALL YOU GIVE ME IS MOTHER -blam!-ING EXOTIC ARMOR I FOUND ALL THE TIME OVER THE PAST YEAR?
-
Drop system is still garbage. 7 skullfronts 3 nighthawks 3 masks of 4 alpha lupi No drop for Warpriest or ogre, well they gave me shards if your count that.

Edited by ChatinNaidooTheSkunk: 9/30/2015 6:18:26 PMIt's funny you mention Invective because apparently the terminal thinks I never had it, or super good advice... granted I scrapped both REPEATEDLY. I've run through the first portions of the new raid twice now... did not complete because teams were dildos... got nothing but shards on each section. No armor, no weapons, nothing. Sorry why am I running this raid again if I'm getting jack shit from it? I GOT MORE FROM VAULT OF GLASS! Even if it was a few dozen boots... at least it was armor... Seems in their upping the drop of engrams they broke everything else... bosses either drop nothing, or an exotic now... I've had blues turn into exotics and purples turn into trash.... To be clear... I had a purple primary turn into a class item, whiskey tango foxtrot.
-
I had two hereafter in a row, then with the helm engrams from Xur I got two Nighthawks, and a light beyond nemesis. I've since gotten two more helm exotics and each turned into a light beyond nemesis and another nighthawk. Also two invectives and two thunderlords.
-
-
the only thing i can say is i got two helm of saint 14's in a row. duplicates do suck.
-
Try 8 Last Words and 6 Nighthawks.
-
I've pulled 4 exotics this week... light beyond nemesis (already had one)x2 Invective (already had one) x2 ... it would be different if they dropped at higher light then what I had but... 290 all across...
-
I keep getting zhalo supercells
-
Haha I got two invectives in a row
-
I'm not so peeved at the exotics as I am about every engram and every piece of loot I pick up being a lower light level than anything I have currently equipped... I'm stuck at 293 light because of this... Every legendary I get now is 280 or lower... Bungie, at some point you need to stop screwing with people. You know just how bad your loot system is, people want to progress in this game, become stronger, "become legend", kind of difficult when you limit drops to be practically useless.
-
Yup. Also got 4 invectives in a row.. actually got 3 fourth horseman in between! New Taken King legendary engrams that drop are also mostly duplicates! Gotten doubles and triples of every new Taken King gun that has dropped/decrypted so far! But I guess at this point, we've come full circle to Bungie lying about (R)NG from last year, after shutting down the loot cave lol
