I'm struggling to find reasons to log back in.
I haven't done the new raid.
I'm not max level...
I've done both Forges...
I want god roll weapons but why? Why do I want them?
Are they really going to improve the game that much?
I'm doing just fine with the weapons I have?
I'm not particularly enjoying the game right now...
At least not enough to warrant the grind.
It's been so effing long since I've gotten a new exotic.
I don't know how many times Bungie have said they were tuning the duplicate rate but nothing has changed for me.
I went to Ikora for my weekly reward and was thinking "It's going to be an exotic. This time, it will be."
AND IT WAS
But it was a duplicate.
I think it's my 4th in a row?
I've gotten 2 since Black Armory, both duplicates.
I have no new exotic armor for my Warlock.
It's all old.
Every DLC that releases gets boring quicker than the last because Destiny isn't a new game anymore. Exotic drop rates shouldn't be like they were in D1 Y1 because back then the game was new enough for us to not need new exotics to help us enjoy the game more.
So far every new exotic I've gotten, minus the Thunderlord, has taken a backseat to the things I was already using anyway...
Trinity Ghoul... Even with Arc Singe sucks balls compared to nearly anything else.
There are some game changing exotics that would have extended my enjoyment of the game but they just aren't dropping. Week after week grinding the same god damn milestones. The same boring old checklist of chores to do for the week. The same big open world where our progression is funneled into a tube that is the weekly milestones... Softcaps are inherently limiting. They limit what you can do in the game if you want to progress. I spent a lot of time wanting to play Crucible when Forsaken launched but I didn't have the time... I had to do the milestones! Now I don't even want to do Crucible. I got burnt out from having to do things in the game that I didn't want to do every week while not doing the thing I actually wanted to do.
Double the max power
Remove softcap
Let us level up by playing anything through legendary engrams, even if they only grant +1 over your max power. At least then there's a reason to log in when there are no friends online and grind Crucible or Strikes.
Flick the switch that allows duplicates to drop into the effing OFF position.
Allow us to ACTUALLY ENJOY THE MOMENTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EXCITING instead of rubbing our faces in the dirt.
Prolong our enjoyment of a game that has been around for 4+ years by giving us NEW exotics MORE than we get old ones.
rant done
i have too much time

They have a grinder modifier built into their RNG algorithm. They try to keep the game more exciting for the casuals by letting them get stuff more often. I came back after a long break (July-November) a month ago. Got 9 exotics my first week, 8 were Forsaken. Next week, 6 exotics, about 50/50. Third week, down to 3, 1 was a new forsaken exotic. This week, also 3 but all old school dupes. I've watched my drop rates drop week after week, this is really a thing. It's happened time and time again during my 4 years following this game. Maybe that whole resetting everything and deleting saved games thing someone else mentioned removes you from Bungie's "frequent players" list by making their servers think you might be someone else. I dunno, might not work. But it might, I think I'll give it a go when I'm done this evening and see what happens when I log in for the reset.

Only top p2w streamers are allowed tp get power engrams and exotics. We the community are just trash for the scammers of bungie.
-
-
I agree I am getting bored of this lack of loot dropping.
-
These first world problems.
-
I'm honestly in the same boat. Destiny just makes me pissed off to play now. No rewards anymore. Exotics don't drop. Quests take too long for what they're worth. Something needs to change. It's not fun to play streamer simulator anymore.
-
Got my first drop yesterday, it was the fox rocket launcher thingy. Not a single piece of exotic armor yet.
-
. Delete local saved games . Delete alternate Mac address . Turn off console . Reset router . Turn console back on . Enjoy your new exotics I know what everyone is going to say. This shit doesn't work. I'm not so sure though. Hear me out on this,. This was something we did in D1 and it seemed to work then. I don't know why. So what the hell... I recently did this with Forsaken about a week ago and since got the... Warlock: Geomag Stabilizers, Contraverse Hold Hunter: Oathkeeper, Titan: havn't played yet. Weapons: Black Talon, Queen breaker, Borialis, Telesto and a couple other duplicates. So that's 5 Forsaken exotics in 2 weeks! I think queens breaker might have been earlier. This is probably just a coincidence though.....
-
I haven’t got a new exotic in a long time. I’ve beat Last Wish 28 times, SOTP 2x, do milestones weekly x3 yet all I get is an occasional duplicate. This is happening to several players yet nothing is being done.
-
I don't get it...you don't think new gear will really improve the game that much but you are mad that you aren't getting exotic gear? I know it's a big part of the"chase" but I feel like exotic drops are not a great reason to play...it should be a fun time whenever you log on...also, yes, the forge weapons can be very unique actually
-
Yeah, I'd love to see the power level system go back to how it was in D1 during Y1. You ran endgame activities and got a set power level from that activity. Raid was max, heroic and nightfall was just shy of max. I believe one of the worst moves Bungie has made was when they decided to try to extend game play by adding RNG into the power level of a drop with Kingsfall.
-
I've been getting quite a few exotics in the last few weeks. I've been pretty happy with the drop rate as of late. [quote]I want god roll weapons but why? Why do I want them? Are they really going to improve the game that much?[/quote] That's a good question. Certain modes of this game make me ask the same question. I've been hoarding supposedly good gear for weeks. Then Black Armory drops. What was the point of it all when these guns are nothing but pea shooters in the opening level? Gambit feels similar at times.
-
Get involved , stop thinking about a specific perk, gun or weapon. Utilize what you have. I know it’s frustrating but many things you didn’t know were good do exist. Find a regular team and start having fun, the raids are the only reason I still play!
-
They’re like busses for me, nothing for ages, then two come along at the same time. I don’t mind the rarity, but I hate mediocre exotics, especially after a long wait.
-
My exotic drop rates have been quite poor as of late. When Forsaken came out, I got exotics pretty regularly. I even managed to get the exotic trophy for getting 10 Forsaken exotics. However, in the past few weeks, I'll get one exotic to drop a week. After grinding weeklies on all three characters, I'll be lucky to get one exotic to drop. And the exotics that drop are now duplicates. I'm guessing my RNG status has been put on the back burner in Bungies database.
-
I mean... it took me 3 and 1/2 months and getting every other single exotic for my warlock to finally get queenbreaker. Had 10 dupes before that drop too. Honestly I like the exotic drop rate. It really makes them feel special. I know my whisper is a better gun... but dammit I wanna use my QB cuz I worked my but off for it
-
If you take a break for a couple weeks then come back, your exotic drop rate is usually better. It sounds stupid, but I still think it works. I remember not playing for a while, especially not on my Titan, but managed to get 6 Forsaken exotics in 1 week when I came back to play on my Titan. My mate had about a month off the game and then got 5 Forsaken exotics in a day.
-
Got two within 20 mins. It’s streaky, you’ll get something soon enough.
-
Then it’s sausage time.......
-
I miss the way the game was in Warmind.
-
Try out a new game for a while. Something you put down, something you’ve been waiting to buy, or something new that you want to check out. Destiny isn’t going anywhere.
-
Let me get my violin out..
-
I found most of my new exotics from raids, gambit and blindwell. Currently I'm only missing 2, shards and one eyed mask.
-
After many weeks of futility this week I got 6 exotics to drop, man it was a glorious week!!!
-
Played nearly every day since forsaken launched. Have all 3 classes maxed out yet the only forsaken armour I've managed to get are the broken hunter bow gloves. Haven't even seen an exotic drop for nearly 3 weeks. There has to be a better way to reward players than this.
-
Eh? Already gotten all my armor/weapon exotic random drops. Just gotta go for them raids and missions ones meow. Fun fact for hunter shards and that vest for that super I never use are probably the best ones. As for exotic weapons prolly only 2 note worthy are the thunder lord and queen breaker(this for gambit) Rest are just fun it seems.
