I was able to pick up 5 purple engrams in the last 2 days just playing patrol on various planets. Took them all to the Cryptarch thinking "this time it'll be different, this time I'm going to get a piece of gear I can use." I -blam!-ing kid you not, 4 of the 5 engrams turn into shards/energies and the last one turns into the helmet I already had. 5 purple engrams and they all turned to shit. It's really frustrating when the drop rate for purples is so low and the ones you get rarely turn into anything worthwhile. Are you all experiencing the same thing when finding purple engrams?

A lot of the this happens to me where it just ends up being shit, it's unfortunate that our grind in the game is not justified
-
No lollygagging
-
No one cares

When HOW dropped part of the update was that all legendary engrams will always decrypt to a legendary item only. The same thing happened to many players before the update. Me as well. Frustrating! But ever since, every purple engram has decrypted to a legendary item (not a good one) but a legendary. Read up on the it.

My luck is weird. I have nechrocasm and vex and grave robber. But never had an exotic launcher
-
RNG needs to be removed like the Blades of Crota
-
Worse is the Crucible RNG. You'll never get better if you never try. But they still get awarded for some reason???
-
You don't know the pain of pre Chryptarch patches. Having blues turn into greens, having almost every purple be a blue. That was the worst.
-
Look at the date on this. Energies/shards dont even drop anymore.
-
What's even worse is now that house of wolves dropped they fixed the purples turning into shards and energies and gave us garbage loot. The house of wolves weapon and gear are trash. I want my vanilla and dark below stuff back that I had to dismantle to make room for this crap!

Edited by BoomerSooner51: 7/11/2015 8:50:31 PMSo, I had a helluva an RGN day yesterday. I ran VoG hard on two characers and was able to pull the following: The Last Word (Gorgon chest) Fatebringer (Templar) Praedyth's Revenge x2 (Templar) Atheon's Epilogue (Atheon) Hezen Vengeance (Atheon) Corrective Measures (Atheon) And a ship No armor, though. All this after finishing the Thorn bounty Best RNG day by far since I bought this game last October.

If we had a player-to-player trading system in this game the loot system would be absolutely perfect, in fact I think that is the only thing wrong with the RNG loot system in this game

"You know I'm right" BUMP
-
Bungie's looting shenanigans are more like evil shenanigans
-
The cryptarch is an abusive boyfriend..

Bumping this back to life. Saw a guy get Gjallarhorn in Iron Banner with a .18 K/D ratio. No photographic proof, though. Shenanigans!
-
How are we feeling about the loot system now? Still shenanigans?
-
It's worse when a weapon engram turns into two shards/energies.
-
Bumping the beast with two backs
-
New Loot BUMMMMPPP!

Edited by vvolf27: 5/5/2015 8:46:55 PMI have gotten more purple gear from blue engram's, than I have from purple engram's. Most of the time I get energy or shards for a purple engram. Such a disappointment!

All the people that complain about the RNG in Destiny never played Borderlands 2. Imagine having to solo Atheon 200+ times to get the Vex. And even when you do get it, it could have a really crappy roll of perks and less damage levels. The drop rates for exotics in that game "without" cheesing it are 10X worse than Destiny. Gamers today just want instant gratification with little effort.
-
That's RNG.

legendary engrams into shards FTW!
