For all those who complain about ascendant materials as NF rewards, my experience has shown me that the more you die, the better the odds you're going to get ascendant mats. It is still RNG, but the odds are weighted. Not dying won't guarantee you a great drop, but the less you die, the better your odds of a legendary or exotic and not shards or energies. Conversely, the more you die/more attempted runs after being sent to orbit, the more likely you're getting shards or energies. [b][i][u]Generally it seems if you're around 6 or less deaths, you are more often than not going to see an exotic, legendary (or legenday engram) or coins. 10+ deaths or multiple return to orbits (from fail runs or to cheese respawning) is more often than not going to be ascendant materials.[/u][/i][/b] I didn't come up with this theory, read it on a post few weeks back. Last 3 weeks I've been extra careful to not die and have gotten 5 exotics- Gjallarhorn, No Backup Plan, The Glass House, MK44 Stand Asides and Thunderlord 3 legendaries- LDR and 2 shotguns 10 coins 0 energies or shards I'd never received an exotic from a NF before then. People can choose to believe or not. Edit- runs this week 1st character no deaths- Payback SoS 2nd character, one death- Helm of Saint-14 3rd character, no deaths- MG18A Harm's Way That's 12 straight NF runs without ascendant rewards. All about the Titan gear it seems lol Edit: [b]Does anyone get that the point of this post is increased odds of not getting ascendant materials?[/b] Holy schnikes kids, reading is fundamental. Keep posting that you died twice and got coins, engrams, sh!tty weapons or armor and telling me I'm wrong.
