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

Bungie actually said in the engram patch that legendary engrams got an increased drop rate but so far I've been getting less than I was before...
-
All the said in the patch was that engrams now have a 100% of dropping a legendary item.
-
I miss read it. Instead of saying that there's a higher chance for legendary engrams to drop it said that there's a higher chance for a rare engram to give a legendary item. However it still seems like it was decreased. I turn in my engrams once I have 10+, pre patch I would get a legendary every 2-3 turnins but now it's more like 7-10 turnins to get one.
-
I had never gotten one pre-patch. I have however gotten a few legendary's from rares and even 1 exotic from a legendary.
-
Idk the rate about blue engrams.
-
But there still has to be something wrong. Something had to have changed. My friend and I can both concur on the fact we are getting less legendaries then we did when the game came out. If they didn't change anything, then the past two weeks I've been grinding should've produced more legendary engrams than just one from a Cryptarch level reward. I find it highly improbable my luck has just turned that bad.

Im not talking about engrams im talking about the chance of getting an actual legendary. The rate of engram drop has significantly been lowered. But its a guaranteed legendary so the rate of getting a legendary item is more or less the same.
