FREAKING LEGENDARY AND EXOTIC DUPLICATES.
New edit 11/23/17
After months of playing the game I now have nearly every exotic weapon. So my original thoughts on this were wrong. I have almost every weapon in the game. If anything the duplicated help span out the amount of time it takes to get all the loot.
Don't get me wrong. I still don't like the loot system. I have done the raid countless times and still don't have the weapons I want from it. At this point I am just disappointed that there are no special exotic quests. No real incentive to seek out specific loot.
The most frustrating thing now is that there is no variety when I turn in Engrams. For example I have ten. 7 of those will be the same armor piece. The exact same piece. I don't even care anymore lol. Feel free to read the old post.
Let me just say first in my 3 years of playing Destiny I have never felt the need to comment about my engram drops. Until now. Something is seriously broken at moment. It's like all my engrams are stuck in a loop.
***New comment: Let me clear this up. It's not just about exotics. On most days I get the same 10 items. All my legendary engrams are repeats of a weapon or armor piece I already recieved 5 times before in the same day. I have not discovered a ton of stuff folks. I dont have every weapon and armor piece sitting in my vault. At best I have maybe 20 percent of the weapons and armor. I'm just asking for it to ACTUALLY BE RANDOM. There are a hell of a lot more legendary weapons and armor pieces. And for those to always be the same 15 things repeated over and over is pretty damn irritating. Now to my original post/rant lol ***
The first week of Destiny I was getting a pretty nice variety of legendary, exotic, rare engram drops. Different weapons. Armor.
Now I continue to get the same weapons and armor. The same exotics. The EXACT same legendary gear. Not even different pieces. Like the same Kerak type 2 chest and arms over and over and over. I've recieved like 5 Origin story Auto rifles from Zavala for turning in strike tokens.
At this point I almost know it will be 10 or 15 different armor and weapon pieces TOTAL that I continue to get repeat engram drops of. I don't even care if the loot I get sucks. It would just be nice if it were a suprise every once and a while.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change my loadout? Do different activities? I thought every engram would be random. IT IS 100 PERCENT NOT RANDOM RIGHT NOW.
If this game can't get the loot right we are in serious trouble.

BUNGIE WILL NEVER FIX THIS.

Edited by RumHamLvl9999: 5/6/2018 4:12:51 PMWell, I think this is definitely a major flaw in the game design itself, considering it's mainly loot based. It seems like the chance of an exotic engram dropping is already very rare(like 1%), so the engram should automatically contain a new exotic( as in one not already in your collection). Why is it that 9/10 engrams contains a duplicate? Why do the powerful engram drops from milestones pretty much always contain the SAME item(looking at you AEON CRAP that really is useless), especially when they are earned through MILESTONES, which where I come from means something, well, meaningful. Not the same thing over and over again. It is very much a buzzkill to actually enjoying THE LOOT BASED game that this is supposed to be. I've played tons of games with RNG mechanics that were flawless, like more recently Divinity Original Sin, with randomized rolls at that, that were well enjoyable to loot farm in. I enjoy the gameplay of D2, and i never played D1, but if they were not able to have this fixed BEFORE RELEASE, why haven't they fixed it yet? Yes, they really do want to people to keep playing. For hours and hours and hours and hours to grind for some sub-par loot that probably won't be any better than what you already have so that you can infuse a piece you already have or keep it to stare at and wonder what the hell it's for other than to piss people off. This is a good game, but the RNG system is the worst one I've ever dealt with it feels like. Why is this still an issue? BUNGIE fix this please. Warmind is set to pop up this week, please don't disappoint.

Hi all, So, as far as I can tell, the current "Powerful Gear" system (the high-level engrams you get for completing milestones during the week) is rigged. It will only (and I do mean [b][i][u]ONLY[/u][/i][/b]) give you Exotics from Curse of Osiris (if you have the expansion purchased), with an [b][i][u]EXTREME[/u][/i][/b] preference for armor pieces. Where is my proof? I've been doing the powerful gear milestones since CoO came out, and hit 333 about a month and a half ago. Since that time, I've accumulated quite a few Exotics. In my Vault I have 6 Khepri's Horn at 335, 5 Helms of Saint-14 at 335 (plus a sixth that I currently have equipped), 3 Aeon Safe Gauntlets at 335, and a pair of the Mark-44 Stand-Asides at 335. I have gotten 0 (yes, 0) new CoO weapons at 335. I have also [b][i][u]NEVER[/u][/i][/b] gotten any pre-CoO exotic from the "Powerful Gear" engrams since CoO launched. Bungie, this is some bullshit. You are quite literally deliberately holding players back from being able to advance their light level just to try and force them to play the game more (and I'm sure hoping that if they do so maybe they'll finally give in to your shit and buy stuff from Eververse). So please, either fix this shit ASAP, or just own up to your own bullshit and admit you can't be bothered to give a single -blam!- about your community or game and that all you care about is money. We're tired of your excuses and your claims that these problems "take time to fix" and are "complicated". They're not complicated. They're as simple as could -blam!-ing be. You rigged the goddamn system. Just admit it, and fix it. Not hard. I apologize for my language but after months and months of the exact same bullshit excuses and 0 improvements, I'm just a little tired and frustrated. If you can't understand why, well, that just proves my point.
-
I $#!+ You, not 6 out of 7 powerful rewards decrypted into Khepri's Horn. SIX OUT OF SEVEEEEN.!!! that can't be chance.

3 Repliesi have only got helmets and shoulders from my powerful engram on all characters i have been stuck at 334 for almost 2 month now i have just about give-up on this think this is my last week of this crap
-
I'm having the same problem on all my characters, especially from the powerful engrams. I'm getting duplicate items 95% of the time. I only get gauntlets and boots on my hunter, gauntlets and helmets on my warlock, and helmets and boots on my titan. It's really annoying because all of them have been stuck at 334 light for about a month now.
-
I just got 4 relentless pulse rifles in a row from trials...... Absolutely effin trash
-
ive gotten 6 aeon swifts, 4 shinobus vows, 3 graviton forfeits, and 3 gemini jesters, this is only in the last month or so, while only getting 2 new exotic weapons, both of which are just rehashes from D1. In my opinion they could seriously tone down the duplicates because this is just ridiculous
-
2 Repliesive probably got 4 out of the 8 exotics from milestones and they were all mk 44 stand asides. i cant level up because i keep getting the same shit exotic!
-
12/28/17 It's the second week that all my milestones engrams bring me only helmet and leg. Well... many, many helmets.. I mean.. Kepri. It seems to be the preferred one... It's been pretty hard to get up the light and it's a lot frustrating because we all know Destiny requires a lot of gameplay time. So, what you say if after some hours you get - AGAIN - that sh1t piece of armour (the only one) that YOU DON'T NEED? And if after all your weekly milestones you didn't get 3 of light higher than you were before all of them..? And what now that you know that the next chance you have is only coming on next weekly reset? And what to expect but the fear of the "probability" that it will all happen again?! Of course, there's something wrong; and it need to be fixed ASAP.
-
Want to report the same thing. Over the last two week's milestones on my Warlock I have got 9 chest drops in a row from my powerful gear engrams AND on my Hunter I have had the same with 10(!!!!) arms drops in a row, So annoying as I just need one or two bits of gear on both to hit 335. Please fix this awful bug!
-
That's nothing, since the game released I've gotten the hard light at least 75% of the time when turning in exotic engrams. And that's even after the DLC dropped. I keep getting Khepri's horn every time as a milestone reward for my titan and those stupid Mk.44 stand asides. A buddy I play with, who doesn't play nearly as much as I do or do anywhere near the activities I do already has most if not all the exotics from the DLC. I'm pretty much done with this game after playing this week and getting nothing but shotguns and a bunch of exotics I already have and never use for all my milestones for the 3rd week in a row.

3 RepliesGot the raid pulse rifle 11 times now... just want sins of the past! Went the whole of destiny 1 without ever getting to use the gjallarhorn because it refused to drop for me. Really struggling to understand the logic behind the loot system. Are they trying to fix this?
-
I have been playing Destiny 1 since it came out. Since I loved it so much, I pre-ordered Destiny 2 even after all of the bad reviews from the console version because Destiny 1 was such a good game and how could they ruin this one. But Destiny 2 is a JOKE, I have gotten the same damn Warlock armor pieces and have yet to pull a good exotic weapon. I would rather it be harder to find exotics if it meant we could find new ones. I'm sick and tired of getting the Sunbracers or DARCI over and over again. Something needs to be done and done soon. I'm still optimistic about the DLC and I want to love this game, but Bungie makes it so hard to do so with all of these lazy mistakes.

2 Repliesdid the prestige raid, and the challenge to get the extra loot chest. all 4 items i got were warlock bonds. lets just say i rage quit after that
-
I've gotten at very least 13-17 exotic duplicates, almost all the exotic weapons I have are from Xur the other 2 that I actually got from engrams is a second "Cold Heart", "Skyburner's Oath" and 2 "Tractor Cannon's". To add everything up I've gotten 2 Colds Heart's, 2-3 Mask's of the quiet one, 3 Hallowed heart's, 2-3 Dunemarcher's, 3-4 Actium war rig's, 2 Tractor cannon's. The stupidest thing is I've gotten 3 exotic weapons one of which I already had from pre-ordering, 2 Tractor Cannon's the and the other I got from my first few engrams as pure luck. (I'm not counting the "Fighting Lion" because that doesn't count as a weapon it is a toy)
-
1 ReplyOmg yes!!!!!!! i wouldnt be so bothered if its just regular exotic or legendary engrams, but it happens on my weekly raid engram/loot too. I have 3 characters and have looted 10 ghost primus in the past week the number is still going up. I have literally gotten nothing else but ghost primus. and not just from raid loot chest, also emperor engrams, harthorne clan engrams, as long as it is related to the raid it is a ghost primus.

2 RepliesI GOT DARCI 5 TIMES IN A ROW😤😤

1 ReplyAll I want is the Crown of the Tempest. I've spent days farming exotic engrams, but every time I get something I already have. I've gotten countless Prospectors, Nezarec's Sin, Riskrunners, Hard Lights, Vigilance Wings etc. Basically, I've gotten useful gear exotics for every subclass except the one I'm actually playing. The same goes for my hunter, where I haven't seen Orpheus Rig. It's super frustrating, to the point where it's souring the game for me. Meanwhile, Xur is selling Eye of Another World for the 2nd time in three weeks. Thanks, Xur.

1 ReplyEdited by NateDoesMath: 11/10/2017 6:56:26 PMThat's nothing. I have received 5 prospectors, 5 knucklehead radars, and 3 nighthawk helms....what the hell bungie...to add insult to injury, Xur is selling the prospector...kill me please...
-
1 ReplyThis is clearly STILL an issue. 5 Exotic Engrams in total. 2 Riskrunners in a row; a piece of armor that I will absolutely never use (at least it wasn't a duplicate); and then 2 Sunbracers in row. I'm trying to grind for the items I want, but this is nonsensical probability is making it extremely deterring.
-
1 ReplyThis is my first Destiny game.. i have enjoyed it so far.. but i have also gotten duplicate exotics and legendarys (and no joke here) within 5min of each other... Clearly there is *no* RNG in play here as well as no response from ANYONE higher than "Moderator" status. NOT a great first impression from this... version of a multiplayer Mass Effect.
-
I've so far opened about 9 exotic engrams and I've gotten 5 DARCI's, 3 Knucklehead radars(+1 I had originally bought from xur) and 1 Vigilance Wing, these shitty dupes is has definitely pulled all the fun out of griding and honestly is just draining all the fun out of the game, like cmon out of all the cool shit this game has its really gonna give me 5 copies of the same gun?!? Darci isnt even that great of an exotic and im honestly super pissed about it

1 ReplyEdited by RiteToAscension: 11/14/2017 2:18:05 PMThis is still an issue Deadpool86...I'm right there with you. Playing last night for four hours: -I had two exotic engram drops. Both decrypted into Knucklehead Radar...which I had just bought for the first time from Xur a day earlier (coincidence??). -In total, I had nine legendary engram drops. Out of the nine, I received two Errant Knight 1.0 boots, two Seven-Six-Five scout rifles, two Wildwood grips, and three Dead End Cure 2.1 chest pieces. UPDATE #1: The following night, playing with my friend: From six legendary engrams, she received FIVE High-Minded Complex robes and the Philomath Bond, which she already had two of!!! UPDATE #2 (Faction Rally): The duplicate loot drops are proving to be even more frustrating as time goes on. My friend and I played the first night of the rally, each earning about 15 engrams worth of New Monarchy tokens. Drops were as expected. I received four Royal Dispensation IIs, three Song of Justice VIs, and 3 Unification VIIs. That's right...the majority of my drops were duplicates. It gets better though: Last night was the last hoorah for us before the Faction Rally ended. We each earned an additional 300+ tokens to turn in. Out of those additional 15+ engrams, my friend received eight Older Sister IIIs IN A ROW!!!!! I received four more Song of Justice VIs. After turning in those 15 engrams and still not having the full armor set, my friend and I decided to keep going and went out and got even more tokens. It was not until we turned those in that we were made aware of the absolutely stupid decision made by Bungie to limit the amount of engrams you can get in one rally to 30... https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46312 Bungie....why in the hell would you ever limit the number of engrams you can get during one of these events when there is such an issue with duplicate drops?!?! Based on the numbers I provided above, my friend and I exhausted over half of our allowable engrams on shit that we already had! She is still missing the helmet, but at least she has eight hand cannons! Knowing Bungie, with the Curse of Osiris DLC coming out next month, this was probably the last time to try to go for the warlock Sovereign armor set, since they will most likely refresh vendor inventory with new armor sets. Very sad...so much time put into this just to get shafted. One last unfortunate incident to point out. When my friend and I were farming for New Monarchy tokens, I found three exotic engrams. Before I decrypted them, I had the Hardlight, Graviton Lance, and Merciless in my inventory (not equipped, but with me). Out of those the engrams I literally got [b]a Hardlight....a Graviton Lance.....and a F*CKING MERCILESS!!!!!!!![/b] Saying that I was frustrated and pissed off is an understatement. Granted, the drop rate for legendaries and exotics seems to be better than Destiny 1, but this duplicate issue is ridiculous. It seems like so many issues that were fixed in Destiny 1 over the years, have reared their ugly heads again. Hey Bungie Devs, since armor and weapons no longer have random rolls, how hard would it be to significantly reduce the probability of getting an item once you have it in your inventory or vault??? Seems like a decent solution to me. Reduce the probability of an item dropping once you already have it, until you dismantle it. Once dismantled, it's probability of dropping from the loot pool is increased again.
