During the start of beyond light these lost sectors gave good rewards usually being exotics 7/10 times. Now in season 14 I find myself painfully grinding lost sectors for hours to only get enhancement cores. Now you are telling me that enhancement cores are an uncommon reward, and exotics are common? Because they dont seem common to me anymore. The fact I get 20x more enhancement cores than exotics is ridiculous. Given that exotics supposedly have a better chance of dropping then enhancement cores. Not only do I have to suffer from not getting any exotics, I suffer from the overload champions that dont get stunned when they should. But when the overload champions do get stunned its not even long enough for a solo player to kill them. Even max light players with +50 power bonus still would struggle with they way you made champions. Yes it would be easier to take care of the champions in lost sectors with more people. But then there is no point of even playing that lost sector, no wonder you had to make the game free. You stopped caring about your player base causing the game to die. Fix the game for once like the community asks you to do, instead of making terrible descions that lead to a dead game.

At least matchmaking for 2 or 3 fireteam. I hate all lost sector because I will never get some exotic. Who was the dumb that think loaar sector legendary SOLO is a good idea???? F***????

The “lost sector exotics” should be obtainable by group runs. They should also be a guaranteed 65+ stat spread. For solo runs, they should be common drops. For group runs, they should be rare drops and should have bad luck protection. If you don’t like your stat spread, you can farm them for more desirable stats. SIDE NOTE: I wish Exotic Armor could be respec’d once per instance by letting you swap any two stat values you want with each other.

Never could get behind locking new exotics behind lost sectors.

Edited by Trollefix: 5/14/2021 5:04:36 PMNew exotic weapons are tied to quests (at least you can enjoy it with friends) and exotic armor behind lost sectors that you have to solo. I can’t remember the last time i was excited with an exotic engram drop in game. Its just old stuff that i already have. I dont even bother picking them up anymore. I understand that some of you are really skilled and can run these sectors like a breeze in 2 min but i just can’t get past them no matter how hard i try. Because of that i have had zero chance to try any of the new exotic armor since the dlc dropped. I guess im just bad. New exotic armor should be in the loot pool when a new dlc or season arrives. The lost sector option should remain for the skilled people who prefer to go that route and speed up the chance to get it or wanna farm better rolls. If you enjoy running the same lost sector over and over and over again then go for it. I just miss the feeling of seeing that yellow beauty on the ground hoping for it to be a new exotic. The feeling is gone :(

Edited by Kiro - 13: 5/12/2021 2:32:13 AMWell it actually has to do with how the loot system seems to work for lost sectors(and why i stopped doing them entirely). as I cataloged 100 master and legend run rewards in the past seasons. What seems to be happening is this: cores and the exotic share the the reward. when you obtain a core as your reward it is taking up/cannceling the possible exotic rewards. Second and the most important of all, is master is not increasing your drop chances at all. All master does is give you an additional roll at rewards while the ratio of exotic drop rate remains the same(this is why receiving 2 cores is very common). third multiple exotics can not roll while cores can(this is important as well because cores obtained negate exotics droping because they count as the activity's reward reducing your odds even further.) I remember it being 60% chance for a core 35% chance for exotic and 15% for nothing. I made a post about this in the past because I found it deceptive to title the reward as "common" when all its doing is giving you is a second roll. When you buy a lottery ticket that has a 1 in 3 chance of winning, your odds of winning dont go up each time you buy one. its still a flat 1 in 3 chance every lottery ticket. So all your doing on master is giving your self two 2 lottery tickets that have a 60% chance to give you a core and a 15% chance to get nothing. or another way to put it is: you roll a 100 sided dice twice, every time you roll 1-75 you failed. This is how gotcha games rng system typically works and i believe its 100% intentionally designed to exploit addictive personality and behavior traits.

I don’t know. I really enjoying spending an hour getting frustrated trying to get one done than when I do complete one I get a legendary drop from 2 seasons ago that’s immediately deleted. They should’ve called Beyond The Light “Season of Lost Sunsetted Legendary Engrams”.
-
I’m not a fan too.
-
It’s a specific targeted exotic farm, it can’t just be raining exotics.
-
I dunno... I personally like them to run solo and farm exotics. Drop rate isn’t great but exotics do drop for me. My only complaint is they should be rotating them on all of the planets at the same time for choice.

I noticed Lost Sectors are only good for missing Exotics in your collection. I’ve gotten all the new ones since the expansion within 5 attempts, my buddy has similar results. After that nada. Need to be playing Master and Grandmasters Nightfalls for consistent Exotic drops.

Edited by Illuminary: 5/11/2021 12:47:09 PMOne other guy said it here, but I'll repeat and agree with him. You should just do the legend lost sector once to get the new exotic, which "might" appear to have a better drop rate, then farm exotics in masters or grand masters. If you do them in a double rewards week the loot flowing in will be ridiculous. If you don't have the telesto cat yet then I'm sorry for you, since it took me forever to get it myself.
-
I agree 100% I've run these garbage missions and get the same drops cores or exotics I already have with terrible rolls so don't bother, I've gotten so many Gemini jesters luna faction and helms of saint over the exotics you're supposed to grind for, and the fact you have to approach the load out to deal with champions that one shot you is stupid, you can't use guns you love to use or enjoy because they've made this so streamers and youtubers have something to do and left out their core players, again. Locking new exotics behind this stupid content is not what Destiny should be about, let the new stuff drop from the raids strikes again so we get that wow moment. Not frustration.
-
Removing content as much as they have and continue to do is part of the reason I'm taking a long break from this game. The flawed logic of trying to convince players that "less is better" while promoting Eververse is the dumbest thing this company has been doing since BL a lot more often than not. As if removing half the game wasn't bad enough. Now it's let's start removing items from activities, vendors, etc... to keep downsizing the game pretending "we are improving the game" 🤦♂️
-
We know.
-
If you know game development so well, just develop your own destiny killer and be done with it. I'd love to play it.
-
Agreed mostly. I’m fine with the new exotics being from the LLS and MLS but ONLY if they drop in a group as well. (Just a smaller chance.)

Got it. #PleaseMakeThisGameEasierForMe
-
there not that hard. it just takes a few times getting the right set up oh and some skill
-
Can't relate. I never had issues with overload champs in sectors, and exotic drop rate was always fine to me. Just yesterday I had to do only 2 sectors on legend to get the new Warlock chest.
-
Use a bow instead of an Smg for overload champs, makes life way easier.
-
No troubles with lost sector overloads here. There is one in concealed void that doesn't stay stunned sometimes but I get around that by simply stunning him over and over with a bow until he dies.
-
They totally ninja nerfed the drop rate this season. Went from worth doing the mindless grind last season to not worth the time investment this season. I'd be fine with the reduced drop rate if it wasn't so repetitive. The solo lost sectors should be a playlist and it randomly drops you into one. Starting area allows you to change mods for two minutes upon load in.
-
I don’t have a problem I’d say every other run I get an exotic, I also use anarchy to stun them after I use my bow for the initial stun. I think the idea is to get exotic you don’t have to do if you have them all maybe that’s why your drops are so low.
