Fallen not dropping Compound Ether for Black Armory sniper frame
[b]Edit:[/b] Bungie confirmed in the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47602]1/31/18 TWAB[/url] that this bug is known as part of 2.1.4. It is also known that the Sniper frame in question can potentially disappear from your inventory after logging out.

Fallen are not dropping any Compound Ether to progress the Black Armory basic sniper rifle frame. Specifically, this is the frame you get as a drop from Ada-1 after unlocking the Gofannon forge on Nessus.
From reading some guides online, when you're on this step of the frame, any Fallen should drop Compound Ether on any kill, anywhere. It's also supposed to drop fairly often (more than half the time). I've tried killing Fallen on both EDZ and on Nessus, with headshots, with a Black Armory sniper rifle, etc etc, with zero Compound Ether dropped. After asking around on a couple Discords this definitely seems wrong.

Same situation here. I'm waiting for my buddy to catch up, and I have been watching his screen -- after having trouble getting the drops yesterday, tonight the Sniper frame is gone for him too. Gofannon is unlocked, of course (he can even buy the hand cannon frame), but no sniper frame anymore, and no means to get it. Actually, he's running around killing Fallen looking for Stolen Black Armory Gear to see if the quest can even be tried again from the beginning. Don't know exactly what would happen after going through that ridiculously long and mostly boring grind just to get to the point where you can open the forge (in his case, AGAIN), and I definitely would not want to do the grind a SECOND time just to find my time wasted again. So he's grinding other stuff instead. Yeah he's mad about it, but we like this game enough to forgive. That said... Bungie, are we seriously fixing a problem by simple deletion? Like if/then statements don't exist? If the forge is unlocked, and they don't have Tatara, then OBVIOUSLY they are caught up in this widespread bug. Give them a frame ready to hit the forge. It's not like the stupid collection steps in between were any big deal anyway. But if your solution ends up being a reset of affected players that puts them before the quest step where the forge is opened, then... well... then even a positive guy like me will start being negative. Please fix it, and fix it right.
