Valus Ta'Aurc Heroic Strike Grants ZERO Rewards

Let me be clear: I just spent 35 minutes completing the Taken version of the Valus Ta'Aurc strike in the heroic playlist with the playlist buff granting me a chance for better drops since that strike was my second strike, and the fact that I stacked 7 "three of coins" in order for a pretty good chance of getting an exotic engram to drop. But in the end, after spending 35 minutes I received NOTHING! -blam!-ING NOTHING! No engrams, no nothing. No other guardian should experience what I experienced today. I understand this game is RNG based, but really? We have a chance with two increase drop rate buffs to get nothing? Side note: they nerfed the hell out of "three of coins." I have run 6 trials of stacking 7 "three of coins" and have only received 1 exotic arm engram. That means there is only a ~16 percent chance of getting an exotic engram stacking 7 "three of coins" (need n=30 to make the percent statistically significant, so as of right now 16 percent is a trend) which means I spent ~59 strange coins on one exotic engram. If Xur wasn't a -blam!- and sold an engram today I would have been able to purchase one for much less. Final thoughts: NOBODY should experience what I experienced today with the longest strike in the game.

  • Ehhhh I've gotten two exotic engrams and between 3-6 legendary engrams (can't remember how many lol I just know it was more than three and less than 6) from this strike. And I usually get two-three blue engrams from it too, but I think everyone does haha

  • It's just one strike. If it took you 35 minutes then you are in over your head.

  • It's just a chance. It was a really high chance, but still a chance.

  • Yeah, I did Valus on Vanguard playlist today and he didn't even drop any blues. I was rather upset as well. But it isn't the end of the world. However, I agree that the Three of Coins is nerfed way too hard. I'm 0 for 4.

    • Happened to me 3 times today thinking it was a bug the first time then I tried it a second time and was aggrevated so I gave it one for shot and got nothing again. I refuse to play that strike when it pops up. Sorry to all the people I left during that strike but I was aggrevated. No telling if I got an exotic out of those runs. Probably dropped and took my chances from me. The strike used to be one of my favorites now I hate it for the time being.

      using multiple three of coins at once doesn't give you higher drop rates unless you've already used one and didn't get an exotic. Actually with the new patch the faster you consume them the lower your chances get.

      • I got the new last word. So basically I got nothing! But was on heroic valus. And dropped some blues too. But I've seen others say the same thing as you.

      • I have done that heroic strike twice today and no engrams were dropped at the end.
