  • If I have twenty chest engrams on a Warlock and 95% of them decode into Crest of Alpha Lupi, there's an issue. There are other Exotic chestpieces in Y2 besides that one chestpiece.

  • You're right, that's not how RNG works. RNG is based off of a percentage of when an item is dropped. In most games that go by an RNG-based loot system, the percentage in which all items are dropped are balanced. For an example, all items in the loot table would have the same chance at dropping. In this case, it seems as if the Crest of Alpha Lupi has a significantly higher percentage of dropping verses other chestpieces that are on the loot table. While it is true that RNG-based loot systems may tweak percentages for certain items (generally newer/stronger ones), it's safe to say that Crest of Alpha Lupi is not a new item and does not have any perk that would be considered powerful or useful in most cases.

  • It isn't just RNG, if you think that the way they implemented RNG is simply a completely random number, you're off your rocker. Deej even said in a weekly update that they have the ability to change weighting on specific items. In addition, in one of the reveals (I think it was a video) they said that year 2 would be different. That they had a way to figure out what items you unlocked and that the chances of a duplicate would be reduced drastically. So far in year 2, the opposite seems to be the case...

All that was for was for shaders and emblems and all from packages. If you think that they have it setup so all you ever get is Caol you need to stop that.

  • [quote]Broken logic and believing what Bungie says. Definite fanboy.[/quote] Well let's look at it this way, they know their game coding. If they code it to do that and say that's what they've done then we have to believe them, unless they come out and say there was a glitch
