No drop protection on raid loot anymore?

How come I have to watch some guy get a rocket launcher for his fifth time when I've got 31 clears. Thought it maxed out at 50% every 25?

  • You mean D2 has it's version of the Gjallerhorn? Great. Another legendary that most likely won't drop for me for years. [spoiler]I finally got a Gjallerhorn drop from the VoG raid 3 weeks before D2 launched[/spoiler]

    • it is impossible to have 31 clears that count. Raid has been out for 7 weeks, that is a maximum of 21 clears, so 42%

      • That drop protection is usually added months after the fact

        • They usually only do that later in the year. Keep trying if you want to be one of the first to have it.

        • You wouldn’t have 31 clears though for the rocket. 3 chances per week (assuming you’re running 3 characters) for 7 weeks (including this week) you’d only have 21 eligible clears. But yea I share the frustration, I still haven’t got it either. I believe the other raids had a 50% drop chance after 20 clears of not getting it to drop. Don’t know if the same applies to this raid. Bungie hasn’t even mentioned anything about it which is annoying.

          • The longer the raid is out the more they will tinker with the exotics drop rate. It just came out. Can't make it easy for everyone to get within 2 months. They have to let some people be snowflakes.

              I know how you feel. I have yet to get machine gun or rocket and I have 27 clears. Not all were loot runs obviously.

            • [quote]How come I have to watch some guy get a rocket launcher for his fifth time when I've got 31 clears.[/quote] If you think like that it's the wrong game for you. It's just fair game at play with chances there really. Drop pretection for Raid exotics should be there absolutely, but still random is random and the game is designed around it.

              • I mean you’d still only have a 50% percent chance Theoretically if you’re unlucky enough it could still take you a million times. 50/50 does not mean, “hey I didn’t get it this time so next time I’m guaranteed to get it.” Each time it’d still be 50/50 chance.

                  The only raids that had the bonus % based on clears was Last wish and Sotp, bungie specifically stated that those weapons had the bonus. The new raid as far as I’ve read does NOT have a raising bonus % based on clears.

                • Does DSC guarantee a armor piece that you don’t have each encounter,or could you finish the raid with 2 scouts and 2 pairs of boots?

                    15 loot clears for me and still no Eyes. I know someone with over 100 clears and the maximum possible loot clears who still doesn't have it. The seal shouldn't be RNG based.

                    • Few problems with this comment: 1. The drop protection you are referencing was specifically for Last Wish and Scourge of the Past. 2. This only accounts for looted clears, at this point, the maximum amount of looted clears you can have is 18. Back to the main focus of your post. I'm convinced there's an algorithm that rewards players with better loot the less they play the game. Many seasoned raiders are still missing out on the rocket while the casuals that have 1 or 2 clears have gotten it. I wouldn't really mind, except that it's tied to the Descendent Title. I'll have everything done next week except the RL drop if I don't get it from one of my 3 raids.

                      • That drop protection was only for 1K and Anarchy, most likely cause Last Wish is two years and Scourge was leaving. The rocket is fun to use but mediocre anyway, best of luck to all those who need it though.

                        • K seems to be a lot of confusion here. You cannot farm the rocket it's on a weekly lockout per character. Also rng is rng my buddy got his on the first run and I didn't get it till lucky 13.

                            • Well, the raid has only been out for 6 weeks. Assuming you do it on three characters, you can only have had 18 chances at getting EoT All your other runs dont count except being able to buy something with spoils

                              • Sorry but you math is work on 2 points. The raid hasn’t been out for 31 looted clears and the drop rate is a static 5%.

                                  • After 20 Runs with no Drop, it goes up 50%, doesn't mean though it makes it a Guarantee Drop.
