I used to get at least two Strange Coins for every four or five Decoherent Engrams. Now, I only manage 1 for every 10 or 12 if I'm lucky, and I'm getting Motes of Light more than I am armor or weapons. What's up with that? were the drops rates for the engrams changed with the last update or something?

While we're on the subject, what is the DEAL with airline food?!

You just ran out luck. Do the Weekly heroics if you want coins.
-
I never got that many. I may have got one coin every 15 blues or so.
-
-
Had trouble getting before, got around 20 of both in about 6 hours play today
-
i wish i got a strange coin every 10 or 12... that still seems like pretty good luck
-
You had a run of good luck. Now it's over. Simple as.
-
People complained coins were to easy to get
-
And what is up with Motes of Light, like always. They're worthless unless you want a new cloak/mark/bond, which do nothing or if you're happy taking a punt on the exotic engram, which has never worked out for me (I have Hunter and Warlock and always pull out Titan gear lol) I've got about 40 of these things and wish you could hand them in to the Vanguard like you do with relic,spinmetal etc :D
-
I never got that many coins more motes than coins always.
-
Sounds like you just had a run of good luck.

I am in the same boat. I always save up engrams and turn them in all at once. Usually save a day's worth. I think out of 35 or 40, I received 2 coins and 3 Motes. Right after the patch, I finally got online, went to my favorite spot on Mars. Killed two Vex, a Purple Engram dropped. Was for a Hunter though :(

Random is random.

Don't think so, I've been getting plenty of strange coins lately
-
It's amazing how different the game is for everybody when it comes to loot and engram drops. I've ground my way up to lvl 27 and had some nice drops of legendary armour but I've yet to see a legendary drop of a primary or special weapon which is holding me back on the more difficult strikes/raids due to lack of fire power. Special coins are rare for me too. My super is legendary but I don't always have ammo for it. I can't buy a legendary primary or special from the quartermaster as I've not reached reputation lvl3 yet but maybe I'll get a legendary drop before I get there. I rarely play PvP but I have an exotic weapon bounty that requires me to to play crucible with a void weapon so that will have to wait.

Well a large number of players were upset the coins were to easy to farm so they might have
-
I’ve had none in two weeks from engrams or drops, I do the public’s, do the daily and as many strikes as possible. In that span I have run the nightfall 4 times (twice with two toons) and my friend has had an exotic every time.
-
I've had three from turning in ten blues and the next day got zero for turning in 50. It's all rng, so you can't expect anything.
-
More people are doing the weekly strikes for coins now.. noticing the importance of it. means they are making strange coins rarer than they were before to try and balance it. motes of light shouldnt be as rare as they are which is why cryptarch is giving them out so often
-
Personally, I'm plenty happy with getting Strange Coins. I have all the legendaries that I'll ever use so I'm happy when I get Strange Coins from all engrams.
-
I have had 4 legendary drops from enemys this week, back then i would only get 1 if i was lucky
-
RNG My motes and coins have fluctuated each week.
-
Bad luck, I get so many it's now even funny

Edited by Steveo340: 11/17/2014 3:17:51 PMI have also experienced a significant drop in the number of strange coins awarded from decrypting rare engrams from tiger strikes. It used to be pretty regular, now it is rare. Same thing, lots of Motes of light, very few strange coins. RNG is really strange. On my first patrol after the last update, the first loot chest I opened gave me two rare engrams and one ascendent energy, two chests later, another ascendent energy. It had me thinking they had patched RNG, but then the rest of the patrol was just like always, and Bungie's write up on the patch did not say anything about RNG.
