Final edit: This is regarding having a chance of getting no drops from hard mode. A lot of people, including myself, have gotten very frustrated with this to the point where we just don't want to play anymore.
PROOF THIS IS NOT A GLITCH AND SOMETHING WHICH IS INTENDED BY BUNGIE:

It's not easy with a LFG team and after you spend a while fighting the boss, you get nothing or just normal mode loot. What's the point of doing it on Hard if you won't get loot anyway?
I've seen it all. Vault of Glass normal and hard, Crota's End normal and Hard, along with Prison of Elders. I've been through forever 29 but never complained about the rewards but this time I am as every other encounter gave you something every time.
Below is my original post.
Don't I just love it when I spend 20 min on a encounter only to get nothing? Last week it was nothing from sisters. This week, it was nothing from Golgoroth and I was the one who had the gaze. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to remove drops completely is a dumbass who deserves a slap to the face.
GIVE US GUARANTEED DROPS ON EVERY ENCOUNTER!
Just to clarify one thing, I'm not asking for straight 320 drops with perfect rolls. I'm just asking for drops. Now, with the variety of things you can get, you won't be done immediately. You get a drop, then it needs to be 320 and it needs desirable rolls.
For those of you saying "It has always been like this", it hasn't. I've been here since week one (Sign of Founders on my Hunter) and I'll tell you why. Before you got shards and / or energies. You could use those to upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful. You got something out of it if you remembered correctly. Now, since you don't need ascendant materials to upgrade anymore, the equivalent could be seen as weapons or gear. You use high light stuff and upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful.
If you do a normal raid and complete it, then do a hard raid, or just do a hard raid straight then you have the chance of getting nothing which has 310+ light until Oryx. What was the point of doing the previous encounters then if they don't guarantee you items? And it's not like this is infrequent. I didn't get anything from 3/5 encounters last week and 2/5 encounters this week. How is that fair?
Also, those of you calling me "entitled", I am entitled. I finished the activity therefore I earned the rewards. If you disagree with that then why not just remove loot completely from every activity?
Edit: 250+ replies. Let's keep going until Bungie sees this
Gecko 77 made a very good point:
[quote]Players should always feel like they are progressing. They should come out of the raid atleast one light level higher than when they started.[/quote]
triplearod also made another very good point:
[quote] The main difference in VoG and Crota's End is all weapons were exactly the same so you had to only get them once, low drop rate is fine in that instance. Armor may have different stat roll but the maximum light was always the same
Now were not only rolling against the chance it drops, but its Atk/Def values, and its perks. Im fine with the variance as it makes the raid more replayable, but something should drop even if it is a 310 hallowed pieces of gear. Maybe that gear will have stats & perks I like and is worth infusing up.[/quote]
Edit: RIP my notifications tbh

SIGNED

I totally agree. Everyone should get at least one 310+ drop from each encounter. There's nothing worse than taking down Oryx on HM and getting only shards and 300 gloves.

[b]SIGNED![/b] I finally completed hard mode oryx and got a Titan mark...like are you serious and it was lower light level than the one daughters gave me. The point is I spent over 10hrs before I could beat him and got 1 thing...
-
Signed.

War priest is my worst enemy I've literally killed him at least 2x every week since KF came out and all I've gotten is 1 rocket launcher and 1 sniper out of like 15+ kills JUST GIVE ME THE MACHINE GUN PLZ!!!
-
Great post. I think there is an argument to be made that occasionally getting only shards from normal mode is good. BUT IT'S AN ABSOLUTE NO GO FOR HARD MODE.
-
I agree 100%. Ran the raid yesterday and the totem section was the only place I got anything other than shards
-
Signed

Fvcking signed man I'm sick of this loot table
-
-
Agreed. Signed.
-
Signed one hundred times over. I can't say I haven't won anything but all I have won is 6 pieces of chest armor for my Warlock & 2 gauntlets for my Titan. Otherwise only shards repeatedly. Pretty lame. The system is definitely broken.
-
Agreed.
-
At least something

Signed

Signed. This shouldn't even be an issue.

Signed

Don't you get shards? Lol

Bump.. The worst feeling is completing the hard mode raid and getting nothing 3/5 bosses/puzzles. The 2/5 that you did get are 312 gear...
-
You should ALWAYS get one piece of gear at least.
-
Next fix will be more drops, but even worst values.
-
Except you are guaranteed drops from warpreist, golgoroth and oryx.
