Legendary Engram Rarity

Hey all, I don't really know if this is the first post about this or not but I've been running friend surveys on the people I play Destiny with and they seem to be having the same problem. Legendary Engrams are scare. Over fall break (cause I'm in college and I finally got some time away) I managed to play hours upon hours. Before the patch, banning the farm caves (glad for this) I found legendary engrams every now and again. Now, I've found one legendary Engram for gloves over a week of gameplay about 6 hrs a day. I didn't even get the Engram from a drop or strike or crucible. The Cryptarch magically handed me one from reach another level in his services. If people are having the same problem please bring this to Bungie's attention. This drop rate of loot needs to be fixed. As much as I love spending countless hours on 24 strikes and very repetitiveness, I would like to be rewarded for it. Thanks for listening, GT: Amoxidy

  • the rate for legendaries is actually more or less the same. think about the rate of actually getting a legendary as an equation. lets say previously the equation was this: A * B = L with A being the rate of getting a legendary engram and B the chance of actually dropping a legendary(L). before patch lets say: A = . 8 and B = .2 so .8 * .2 = .16 so you have an 80% chance of getting a legendary engram but only 20% chance of that being a legendary so the ACTUAL chance of getting a legendary is 16% now at post patch lets say A=.16 and B = 1 so you only have a 16% chance of getting a legendary engram which is very very low compared to before the patch but when you do get one you have a 100% chance of getting a legendary. In the ACTUAL chance of getting a legendary is still 16%. TLDR: bungie didn't change shit
