RNG is not RNG

Sooo I'm ranting about the RNG (I know it's whining, but I can't help it this morning)! Played 1,374 hours in D1 with the same 5 dudes - NEVER had Gjallarhorn drop... the other 5 dudes ALL had it drop multiple times... I had to buy it. Have played 30+ hours of Forsaken and have had 5 exotic drops for equipment I already have. No forsaken drops. The other 5 dudes...? They all have multiple Forsaken gear... Cerberus +1, Wavesplitter, LOWolves etc. I am pleased to say that I cannot stop pulling legendary grenade launchers and sidearems along with endless Scatterhorn armor (FML). Either I'm extremely unlucky or something doesn't jive.... Anyone else?

  • Only 30+ hours and five exotic drops? Very lucky indeed, some have played more tgan four times that with no exotic drops at all. On a side note, are you sure your buddies aren’t stealing all your luck from you? Lol

  • I got 3 exotic engrams so far. 2 of them were sparrows. Yes, they can drop now from engrams.

    • Destiny is not true rng. Borderlands is what you call proper rng. Destiny is rigged. I don't care what anyone says

        • Story.of.my.-blam!-ing.life. I've been playing Destiny since the freaking alpha for D1, and it has always felt like RNG hated my damn guts. Hell, the one and only Gally I ever had in D1 I bought off Xur the second week he ever showed up. Back before anyone knew the God tier weapon it truly was. As for my RNG experience in forsaken? I have played way, WAY, too much and have received 2 exotic drops. Neither were new. Not to mention I have yet to get a single legendary with even a -blam!-ing half decent roll. I finally got the Bad Omen rocket launcher the other day. I can't think of a worse roll than the one I got. It's tremendously disheartening and makes the game feel about as rewarding as one of those claw machines designed to drop shit the moment you think you actually picked it up.

              • Blame the idiots that wanted only certain people to obtain exotics! I haven’t got one piece of exotic armour since the dlc dropped!

              • You must first construct a shrine to RNGesus out of your Edge Transits. He will then gift to you an exotic engram containing the Aeon armor.

                • 12 ranks of gambit and just as many bounties and still no helmet, the only piece I need and want. Feeling like the odds for the gear that we do want or need are set at a rigged level.

                  • RNG is never RNG, it's pseudo RNG, a number generated within set parameters. In some games, I think you have a random seed generator that might be called luck or something, like a variable that can impact the the outcome of any RNG rolls in your gaming session. The seed could be generated when you log in for example. I'm a bit off with the description I'm sure, and I don't know if that happens in destiny.

                    • There are ways to keep loot rare and make it feel "earned" without relying on RNG, but that would take effort.

                      • I feel your pain, played a lot since launch, had 1st exotic engram drop in gambit ( odd i thought ) and of course, its arms. Oh well infused for the power increase. Now as far as the rest of the gear, all i seem to get is armor, nade launcher x 20, side arms x 10, pulse rifles x 20. Nothing else. Can't wait to see some auto rifles drop, rockets, someting besides armor and nade and pulses....

                      • Yer RNG is an odd one. I've had 3 exotic drops with one of them forsaken. I did however get the new Nightfall reward shotgun on the very first attempt!!
