I believe that it has been nerfed, especially for SRL...but I'm not sure about for regular usage. In SRL last week (pre-friday) I was getting an Exotic Engram about every 4 races, with only using 2 coins. I've used nearly 2 dozen in the races, every 2-3 races, since Friday and have gotten zero Exotic Engrams. However, I still have great luck on Patrol, doing the Taken Champion/Blighted (Skull) patrols. Got 8-9 Exotic Engrams since Wednesday night using 3oC's every 15-20 minutes and hitting those patrols on the Dreadnaught. Got my first newly added Heavy EE which turned into a 310 Dragon's Breath. Plus got 2 Thunderlords, 310 Graviton Forfeit, 310 Hereafter, 310 Hardlight and a couple 290's I already had, which got Sharted (oops, Sharded). And this was all in the past 2+ days, all when doing Skull Patrols on the Dreadnaught and averaging 1 EE in every 3-4 3oC's used. Doesn't seem that they were nerfed in regular game play(maybe) but in my experiences they do seem to have taken a hit in SRL/Crucible since last week. Well, good luck with those 3oC's....I just restocked with about 60 more from Ol' Saint Xur.

  • Is that the Venus Taken Champ from the skull patrol? Or the Champ from the public event? Just curious because I don't have as good of luck with the ones from the public events, as I do with the ones from the skull patrols in the Cosmodrome and on the Dreadnaught. I haven't used any coins on the Venus Taken Champ, as far as patrols go. But I guess it also just depends on that whole RNG thingy deciding to play nice. I used two 3oC's last night (20 minutes apart) when on patrol on the Dreadnaught-- did the Hive Summoning/Warmsinger Rune Ultra and then hit the skull patrol and ended up getting a 310 Dragon's Breath. First thing this morning, I used a coin and patrolled the Dreadnaught, hit a skull patrol and got another EE-- a helmet that turned into 310 Graviton Forfeit. For the most part I have been very fortunate, getting 1 EE for every 4-5 coins I use...spacing them out of course, with a minimum of 15 minutes in between. Maybe try the Dreadnaught one or the Cosmodrome one-- those are my preferred 'skull patrol' spots. Either way, good luck with the Exotic hunting!

  • It was the public events one, over the course of a week, so was spaced 10 min between each event, only got 2 still. This weekend as well, when psn plus glitched and I was able to do strikes with my buddy, we ran 8 strikes and then did 2 missions ( with ultras ) and didn't get any exotic

  • Oh ok, gotcha. Yeah, since last Friday (and a little the week before) I've noticed a lower and slower return on Exotic Engrams from 3oC's, for the most part. For the past few weeks, I've been going with the Taken Ultras that come from the Skull Patrols (Turn off the Blight- Cosmodrome, On the Precipice- Dreadnaught) and not as much from the Taken Public Events-- still pop one when I come across them. I've had some really decent success with the Taken Ultras from the patrols and will work on daily bounties, do some Court of Oryx and/or SRL racing in between hitting a patrol. I'll spawn into Cosmo or Dreadnaught, look for the Skull patrols and head for the patrol area. Leave and come back if I don't see one. I usually wait until I kill 100% of the Blighted Taken and my ghost says Objective Updating (meaning big guy is coming) and then I'll pop a coin. For some reason if I just have one active for a long time, I've had much less luck-- probably just a coincidence and the whole RNG thing. But for me, the Skull Patrols usually lead to 1 Exotic for every 3-5 coins used and I usually space them out a bit. Last week the SRL racing was giving me like 1 Exotic for every 4 races, which was every 2 coins used since I skip a race in between Coin popping. Since Friday though, I've used almost a couple dozen in SRL and haven't seen 1 Exotic. So, I went back to the Skull Patrols and hit 2 EE's in only 3 coins used. But again, that RNG thing is the almighty decider.
