My warlock visits xur,buys 5 helmet engrams...
I dash off to bastard Rahool to decrypt mabye one or two,save the others to use on other characters...
first engram,is of course,for my hunter,and one my hunter has of course,its even equipped as of this decrypting,
so,a bit bummed because I thought they took care of this issue of stuff decrypting for other characters...
next FOUR engrams decrypted into light beyond nemesis,not lying,or joking...worst part...
my warlock was wearing a fully leveled light beyond nemesis....so I get 4 more...
WTF BUNGIE?!?!
Im starting to see a lot of what they told us was a lot of smoke up our...
They told us of all these improvements but rather than these stories being actuall,they were lies to sell us on the new product because they knew it was a huge issue and we wouldnt want more of this same BS so they lied...told us the RNG was smarter,improved...F you Bungie....I wouldnt be upset if ya hadnt told us it would be different cuz I was used to getting screwed by the engram decryptions...but you told us ya fixed it,made it better...Im going to make sure to keep spreading the news unless ya wanna refund my 40 bucks.
Update 10/3/15---I hope bungie sees all the others having same problem and gives us the loot system/engram decryption we were sold on in those twitch feeds and news stories/weekly updates. Thanks for the feedback and keep sharing your stories of how this improved system is working (not working) for you.
update 10/9/15-did it again. my hunter wanted a different set of gloves,bought 1 engram...sealed ahamkara's...while wearing a fully lvld set...back to buy another engram,no suprise right? another set of the same thing equipped...while there are others I do not have...so bungie,this is the new improved loot system eh? I call bull$hit...and so do some others by the looks of it.

You realize that your anecdotal evidence is not nearly enough to disprove their claim right? Did you expect exotics you've already gotten to be taken entirely out of your loot table? You just got a bit of bad luck.
-
I quit buying engrams because of this. 13 coins for a shard? No thanks got around 60 already. 3oC? Telesto 5 times in a row. Light beyond I have sharded a bunch and have a couple in the vault. Same with chest gear. I just buy heavy now. Same as before.
-
Same problem
-
You got effed. Deal with it.
-
I don't think they lied exactly. Because they must have changed something. I've been playing since alpha, and never have I been able to decrypt 5 engrams and have 4 be the same damn thing. I admit it is kinda frustrating, then again since exotics don't all have the same rolls anymore, you aren't really getting duplicates. It's more crota raid type drops, just for exotics. You get a lot more of them, especially with the 3 of coins, but it's possible to get one with not only better stat rolls, but different stats, different perks etc. So there's a lot more reason now to actually want duplicates.
-
There are three warlock helmets and the warlock helmets are heavily weighted when you're on your warlock so it's a 1/3 chance
-
Decrypt them at different times of the day, thats been the most effective for me.
-
Their code definitely doesn't say to give out what you are wearing. As a titan I rolled every year 2 version of all the exotic helmets for my class. The "problem" seems to be fueled off expectations that xur would hand you all the new exotics too.
-
I've decrypted 8-10 helmet engrams since TTK. No shit, 6 of them have been -blam!-ing celestial nighthawk. Getting rather frustrated.
-
It is a widespread problem indeed. The variance seems to be as good as shit.
-
It says any class in captions just deal with your rng
-
Ok.... So not so short story, short... Your disappointed with what you got from xur.... There. That's a short story.
-
Aye buddy you aren't the only one 4 of my exotic primary engram turned into Monte Carlo and I turned them in one by one same with my chest plate the same one over and over and bungie made me waste 500 strange coins on fking engrams that are fkin worthless if you weren't 300 light lvl and decoded them and 2 days later you find out once u hit 300 you get 310 exotics how fking amazing bungie thx for making me waste everything I have saved
-
In 2 raids with my warlock I've gotten 3 pieces of armour, sounds good right? Well they were all gloves, and all worse than what I had equipped. I agree it should be RNG but every time you get a particular item it's weighting should be lowered. After 2 of the same item it should be very difficult to get a third, after a third it should be impossible to get a 4th.
-
Thought it was short... wtf
-
Yeah I got three lights beyond nemesis since I returned to destiny and its smart loot system haha
-
OP maeks meh cri erry tiem.
-
The R in RNG stands for random.
-
Stop crying scrub, buy more.
-
Rng... 6 obsidian minds In a row. I take turns wearing and levelling each one.... no I'm not serious about the latter.
-
Edited by ANerfBlaster: 10/6/2015 9:23:34 PM18 ranks in Dead Orbit since they "fixed" package drops... 10th Revenant Shader today, still no ship... Yeah, totally "fixed" it... If by "fixed" they mean "didn't do sh*t to." Also, still getting Skyburner's Annex out of almost every helmet engram... Score!!!
-
From 7 exotic engrams I got 6 invectives and a monte carlo
-
I've had this problem since day one. RNG GIVES YOU CRAP YOU ALREADY HAVE EQUIPPED! Seriously....
-
This is not a problem its just rng what wud be the point in giving you all the new stuff u want early on they want you to keep playing not get evrything first go
-
I got several Light Beyond Nemesis, several Obsidian Minds, a Helm of Saint 14 and a Graviton Forfeit. The Helm and the Graviton were good for my Titan and Hunter, but not a single new Warlock Helmet.
-
it's partly because the loot table for exotics is pretty small right now, given that all the year 2 exotics they had announced probably are not currently available
