[b][u]Let's get this trending by hitting that favorite so we can give a post for Bungie to see just how many of us are getting duplicates![/u][/b]
So as any destiny player, I bought 4 helmet engrams to try and go for that Y2 exotics. Redeem them one at a time, I dont spam. I use 2 on my titan, and 1 on each of my other classes. 2 on my titan that I redeemed were both skullfort, after I just bought the helmet itself from Xur. I redeemed one on my hunter and it was that new Titan helm that gives Angel of Light. I redeemed one on my warlock and got another skullfort. As anyone would, I was pissed. But I carried on and did a nightfall and guess what I got?
[spoiler]another freaking skullfort![/spoiler]
Apparently this new RNG System is not working for shite. I don't need 4 skullforts, so why did I get 4?
[b][u]EDIT #1:[/u][/b] Seems like I'm not the only one getting duplicates. Hopefully Bungie addresses the issue as its a little more than just having "bad luck".
[b][i]EDIT #2:[/i][/b] I bought these engrams 9/18 at 7:00 A.M. Eastern US for those accusing me of not knowing better. I had no other way of knowing prior this was an issue with exotic engrams as well. I had never gotten that many duplicates out of just 4 engrams, so I was not expecting that to happen to me then, especially with the "New RNG System" they implemented.
[b][u]EDIT #3:[/u][/b] Here's one quote from an article who wrote about their announcement of the changes.
[spoiler][i]The other important thing to take away from this is the changes that Bungie will be making to the RNG loot system. In Destiny 2.0 the system will have some procedures in place to limit the range of chosen items that can drop for you. This limit will be determined by the gear you already have as well as the weapons that have already dropped for you. Bungie has stated that these changes are meant to make each drop more meaningful - by reducing the amount of duplicate drops players get - and also to increase the chances of each drop actually pushing you forward in your level and goal of hitting the maximum level in Destiny.[/i][/spoiler]
[b][u]EDIT #4:[/u][/b] Holy shit, almost 500 replies! This easily surpassed my nechro army post! Keep them experiences coming!
And for you Debbie Downers, thanks for them replies, keeps this topic at the top :)

2 RepliesI've already gotten 4 year two last words. The last word was my most received exotic in year one, the trend continues.

One thing you could do for a "silver lining" is to keep them and use them for infusion for helmets you want later down the road. You can even infuse a Titan helmet into a warlock or hunter helmet.
-
Is this exotic engrams your talking about or just in general?
-
Totally agree. And not to be a dick, but the exotic engram farming also helped show how "fixed" the new RNG is also.

3 RepliesTip: you never buy the armor if there is an engram of the same type until after you have decrypted them all and you didn't get it. #thinkaboutit

Monday it will get worse, glitch abuse is getting the loot system toned down, just like after the cave patches.
-
Thankfully I haven't had that luck yet...

1 ReplyIt does not work on the bought engrams only on those you find in the wilds.
-
17 RepliesIt really does. Look at the perks of my new fusion rifle I just got from the Nightfall... Worst ever.
-
Got the flayer hunter helm 3 times in a row
-
5 obsidian minds (4 from Xûr-grams, 1 from coins engram drop, 3 4th horsemen (2 engrams, 1 nightfall)... Yeah. Fortunately I can use them to infuse other things.
-
I got three last words in a row! The game is trying to tell me something

Haven't gotten a repeat yet Monte Skullfort Suros Invectuve Hereafter Fourth horseman Ahamkara grips Ahamkara sprine Thirdman One of the other new hunter helmets Knucklehead Claws of Ahamkara Light beyond
-
Ive gotten 5 monte carlos. The first was a y1 from the deceptive engram, im on xbox so i was kinda happy. And then proceeded to get 3 y2 monte carlos in a row, from exotic primary engrams via three of coins. I thought you were suppost to have less of a chance of getting repeat drops now...
-
Did 3 of coin got 3 telstos and invectives Got 3 obsidian minds 2 light beyond nemisis And a single hereafter

1 ReplyI bought 7 helmet engrams with my Hunter and turned them in with my Hunter. I got mask of third man-Y2, knucklehead-y2, annex 2x, stag, tikonaut, and that one that gives you angel of light. You just had bad luck.
-
You can never have enough helmets.
-
Farming proves this point even more. I've decrypted roughly 80 engrams. The game basically told me to -blam!- myself. Still don't have the Hunter helmet or gloves I want. But I have 12 don't touch me.
