Im one of the late comers, I bought the pre-order Cayde6 Forsaken pack, and Ive beaten the entire story of the game, and all the DLCs and not once have I seen an exotic engram drop. Sure I have exotic weapons and armor from missions, but that doesnt change the fact that E-Engram drops are far too exotic in my opinion. I agree they should be rare, and Ive read that they used to drop all the time, but now it feels like the dont drop AT ALL. Please fix the drop rate.

I get it, exotics are meant to be hard to get, but this is getting ridiculous.
-
I agree I've had one exotic drop since forsaken and it was freaking mechaneers tricksleeves. They need to do a better job of granting the loot pool
-
The new exotics are really good, from what I hear. Better to have guns that are worth the grind than have anemic ones drop in your lap.
-
Nah its fine, get over it

Edited by A KOOL POP TART: 9/17/2018 1:23:19 PMI dont mind it. Kinda thought it was absurd how often they dropped in vanilla before I left. Not sure about their drop rate in heroic strikes or nightfalls though, maybe those activities should have like a 30% chance or something. Then again, that's just based on my experiences in d1 with a three of coins on.

They aren’t that bad I’ve gotten two within an hour of just doing strikes and crucible
-
1 ReplyIt's literally just rng, dont blame the game. I've gotten like two exotics plus like 3 fashion type exotics
-
No engrams yet, did get 2 exotic weapons Suros and hardlight, d1yr1 gear, nice creative thought bung

10 RepliesNo, this is great. Exotics actually mean something now. I don't have a single one - and I'm fine with that! This was how it was in D1, glad they put it back!

4 RepliesEdited by Soulchilde: 9/17/2018 12:24:52 PMThere was nothing wrong with the way Exotics dropped in D2 only people that complain were mostly hardcore players who think having an exotic makes their epeen bigger. Never understood this mentality that just because someone else has an exotic it hurts their enjoyment Exotics are to effing rare at this point and just leave a very sour taste in your month when you get a year 1 drop that you can pull from collections
-
I find it great since you have to grind more and more to get the good stuff.Also since those magnificent bastards that finished the raid ,we have more content thanks to them .I personally love the fact it has become harder and rarer ro get gear ,keeps me playing.
-
Just stop they are called Exotic for a reason.
-
I've gotten three in one day
-
I’ve gotten exactly zero exotic drops to date. RNGESUS hates me did in D1. But I’m ok with it my real concern is the nerfboys and the streamers who are calling for nerfs because one or two weapons are killing the in PVP.

Edited by Jebus Kreist: 9/17/2018 2:58:44 AMThe droprates of exotics right now is even more ridiculous than vanilla D1. I could grind strikes a whole day in vanilla D1 and get at least one exotic. I could grind Milestones, Bounties, Gambit, and whatever else wanted my attention for a week in D2 and never see an exotic. Forsaken has basically [i]fallen[/i] back into the Vanilla-D1 scam of arbitrarily slow and unrewarding grinding, with the content quality basically being "Taken King" with a D2 twist.
-
I’ll agree, the drop rate is a major decline from what it was before, but it’s nice to see exotics as a rare treat again. Reminds me of D1, when you would see an exotic and freak out. I’m glad the drop rates are lower, just wish I had a warning, lol.
-
i have got two since DLC dropped ..
-
Got my first exotic drop in the expansion last night. Was not amused that it was a prospector (I already had) and not a new one. At least it dropped at a decently higher level, so its infusion fuel.
-
4 RepliesDrop rate is fine, welcome back to D1. They way it should of stayed
-
I agree, I have had 0 wild exotic drops and 2 purchased, one of which was from xur and the other from faction tokens. Since Forsaken launched. Plus all my powerful and prime engrams have been 5 light lower than my current light. I feel the reward system is either bugged or just stingy.
-
Just my personal opinion but I'm actually happy with how rare they are. They feel really valuable and I feel somewhat attached to the very few I have, a feeling I haven't had since D1. But getting an old exotic which is low power level isn't cool. I understand that if you've not gotten a single new one yet, it's frustrating. Destiny has always been an investment game for me, you put the time and effort in, the rewards will come eventually. My thinking has always been in an rng system, you could get exotic x next activity or never but if you stop playing, never turns from possibility to reality. Hopefully the people yet to have get one soon :)
-
Drop rates perfect. Do all sources of powerful engram for a few days. You'll get one or two.
-
You are 499 What do you expect? Once you reach 530 they drop very often
-
I still have yet to get one new exotic, I have played for multiple hours each week so far getting every powerful engram there is to get.. not one drop
