Raid Drops and Light Level
This will go unnoticed. Bungie will likely never read this. Even if one of the staff members does happen upon this post, they will surely refuse to respond to it; for there is no reasonable justification for this current problem.
King's Fall raid drops: an obvious lack of respect towards the player base.
RNG has been, and will always be, a part of Destiny. Those of us that have stayed have come to understand and respect this aspect of the game. This system builds up hope until the rewards finally reveal themselves on screen, leaving us in joy or dismay. We crave and hold on to that hope, and we continue to fight until our very last goals are met.
But like anything else, this system has its limits.
King's Fall raid loot drops do not lead the community down the same road of hope as year one Nightfalls did. As Vault of Glass did. As Crota's End did.
King's Fall raid loot is not a challenge. It is not a challenge which can be overcome by the skill and effort offered up by the Guardians who seek such rewards. It is not a challenge that brings about a sense of accomplishment.
It is a wall.
King's Fall raid loot is a wall which Bungie has set in place to keep us climbing. Climbing towards a goal which currently has no further meaning than to say it's been climbed. Climbing which only continues to get harder, or more appropriately, luckier, the further we climb.
There is no system set in place to read our current rewards.
King's Fall does not care at which light level we currently stand. It does not care that we've climbed over that mini boss at light level 315 - it will still roll the dice to decide whether or not the loot drop we receive, if any, is above or below our current standing.
Yet we're expected to continue to climb; climb a wall which has no current meaning.
There is no reasonable justification for this current problem. King's Fall raid loot drops are about one thing and one thing only - to prolong our playtime.
Bungie needs to address this issue. For the respect of their player base, for the future of their game, this loot system needs to be fixed.

1 ReplyWell stated. I feel the desires toon, too, as I'm sure many do. It's disappointing to see such a wonderful game have so many flaws.

1 ReplyBungie did great job of giving us new content with quests and all but they didnt keep it fun. And seriously, yhe exotics!! They are most just bumped year 1 exotics that i can buy!!! Part of doing vault and crota was for those possible exotic drops!!! Dont even get me started on the fuk up they did messing with weekly heroic and nightfall strikes!!

Similarly, I finally had a kings fall helm drop only to return to the postmaster and have... a blue helm. Wtf? I spent hours grinding to get the helm and nothing.

1 ReplyThis [i]wall[/i] truly displays the lack of content in this release. I am amazed that the harrowed versions of guns merely have the potential for higher light and a different skin only. It is staggering the lack of creativity I've seen since TTK. What happened to imaginative perks on guns? Once in a while I just feel like saying screw balance!! Give me a fricking FUN gun! Give me a scout that freezes enemies, or a hand cannon that temporarily turns enemies into allies (within reason), give me a rocket launcher that that shoot 2 rockets at once firing backward and forward, or a sniper that is also a shotgun at the tap of a button. Some of those may suck, but the point is, these new weapons genuinely lack anything that gives me incentive to grind for them.

Well said

1 ReplyAnother day ruined thanks bungie for 2shards and my other drops was worm spores in 2 sets for doing normal raid and it still took 20 off me thanks a f***ing lot bungie.
-
Bump I say! A thousand times bump.
-
6 RepliesWhat, don't you love getting 300 light drops when you're 314? Hahaha all jokes a side they REALLY need to make normal drops stay in normal and hard drops ONLY on hard. None of this 300 crap on hard or nothing at all, that's a joke.
-
The raid rewards need to match ToO rewards. I'm not playing any more until they do.
-
Bungie has no respect for us gaurdians at all they are doing a great job ruining this game
-
Just use them as infusion material for your other gear. At Golgoroth hard last night I got both the guantlets from the normal raid armor AND the gauntlets for hard raid armor set. Put on the hard raid gloves....used the normal raid ones as infusion material for a pair of exotic guantlets that are now 306.

6 RepliesIve just defeated oryx on hard which by the way took me almost 2 hours. I had 20 moldering shards when i beat him and was already wearing a 316 mark for my titan. What did i get after spending all that time beating him? -A 312 mark (weaker than what i already had) -2 moldering shards (in exchange for 20 moldering shards) I think the rewards are unfair because i spent all this time hoping to get at least a primary or a helmet but all i got was absolutely nothing. I can't use the mark because it's weaker and i lost 18 shards in the process. I beat the raid on hard and normal for over 15 times and NOT EVEN ONCE have i gotten a helmet for any of my characters.

2 RepliesIt took me 3 weeks to finally beat Oryx on hard, and I got a 313 harrowed machine gun (was already running a 312) and two shards back. Sure I'm glad to finally have the emblem, but seriously? For the first time, I skipped normal mode with my main and jumped right into a hard run, thinking I'd get double rewards. Boy was I wrong. Totems: Moldering shards Warpriest: 312 Harrowed machine gun. Moldering shards. Golgoroth: 313 gauntlets (was using 312 ones). Moldering shards. Sisters: Moldering shards Oryx: Emblem. 313 harrowed machine gun. Moldering shards. That brought me up from 310 to 311. Still yet to get a 310+ ghost.

1 ReplyYea here's some feedback bungie that I'm sure you've heard a hundred times, how in the hell are you gonna have two normal drops come off oryx in the hard raid? You guys release so many docs so quickly that every week you do the hard raid and finish is just one more week closer to your gear becoming obsolete in the next dlc I have run the normal and hard every week since it came out and have never seen a helmet drop on any character in normal or hard and that's with 20 moldering shards. That raid is becoming a complete waste of my time. If I take the time to do it every week as well as all the other people who take time sometimes hours out of their week to get this done we should always be rewarded not walk away empty handed get your heads straight
-
2 RepliesI think they need to have fixed attacks on weapons like the highest it got in year 1 was 365 and there was no inbetween until the 2nd highest attack
-
2 RepliesTrue. The new Raid drops are terrible. Many duplicates or only shards all the time. Or normal mode drops on 300 in hard raid .. Are you serious ? 300 shit dropping in hard raid ? Hard raid should be guaranteed hard raid drops at least with over 310 every boss. And Oryx should always drop gear on normal and hard. Not only 2 moldering shards. Are you serious ? Only 2 moldering shards for killing Oryx ? WTF ? The same problem was with Atheon dropping 2 Ascendant Energies for killing him on hard. They did not learn or change anything. I can understand why people leave this game. Thats really sad.

1 ReplyBump. This has been said a TON of times already. They're not listening. Or at least they're not responding. Raid is getting super old super quick.
-
1 ReplyYou're never getting to 319. Sorry. I've realized this and now I just raid for the shader, which I got yesterday, so I'm done lol.
-
4 RepliesYeah, it's getting old quick, It's harder content for sure, which is fun and great, but as friend list drops, my ability to even raid dwindles, and there are still many holes in my raid gear and weapon loadouts, and then to finally get it and hard mode drops a 300 and im at 311 is laughable. It isn't even infusion material. We grind for blues or legendary between 295 and 300, as they are few and far between. so most people have the (non raid guns /armor) gear they use sitting around 297 - so anything under 310 is pointless.
-
2 RepliesI completely agree The true destiny fans might stay an just except never getting to 320 light. I do know my 30 plus friends on destiny are disgusted with it an will be playing BO3 starting tonight at midnight. I will be curious to see how many players quit the game over the next week, i'm guessing a huge percentage from how empty my friends list was on reset day.

This is one conversation Bungie doesn't want to hear....

Seriously can't bump this enough.
