Destiny loot system sucks now.

In year one exotics dropped at random on strikes in PvP, from bosses. Year two they added 3 of coins, and screwed this nice system up by nerfing it. Year three, they nerfed 3 of coins again and now in strikes they added these dumbass chests that require keys to get good legendary gear. It's beyond stupid what they are doing to this game, give the loot out like you used to. Players are leaving this game because you guys can't design it in a way that doesn't make it worse every single update.

  • The loot system is miles better than what it was before! The ONLY thing that I would change is to bring back specific exotic drops. Nothing beat having something big (like Gjallarhorn) drop for you in a raid and have that little message show up on everyone's screen. Then you get to celebrate with your fireteam and start using your new darkness destroyer immediately. Engrams are nice and all, but they just don't get that excited and fun reaction that we got before. Other than that I think we've had mostly improvements to the loot system.

  • Many love and prefer the new system.

    This is hilarious. 3oC is way more efficient than random drops. I've completed around 1000 strikes and only got one exotic. Ever.

  • Get an exotic off of 3oCs about 1 in every 5 uses. So still the same. It would be nice to have them drop on there own though at the end of matches/bosses. That excitement was way better then having to remember to pop a consumable.

  • I don't think three of coins was a good idea. Just me. The issue I have is that everybody has everything if you play the game. Nothing feels particularly special.

      • Exotics only dropped from nightfall and the raid in year 1

        • The keys drop at roughly the same rate as the old strike specific loot, or at least they have for me. The key system allows you to dictate which strike that happens on, rather than in year 2, chasing the Taniks cloak and 3 weeks later coming back with 17 treads up on stars and an imago loop. Also has there been a year 3 nerf for 3oC? In year 2 I was getting between 1/2 engrams per 10 3oC. That pattern seems to of continued into year 3.

          • People will whine about absolutely anything now. Holy crap. Year 1, you were limited on how many times you might get an exotic outside of PvP. Now, thanks to 3oC, you can actually farm them! And the strike loot? Now you can CHOOSE which strike you get your loot from. Before, not only was it RNG whether you even got the loot, it was RNG which strike it dropped on when playing in the playlist.

            • With the exception of nightfall I never saw an exotic drop from a regular strike. Ever. Not for me or a team mate I did see the occasional drop in crucible. Not for me, but a team mate. But rarely

              • 3oC didn't nerf exotic drops; it vastly increased the drops. Further, there has been no change to 3oC; the drop rate is exactly the same as it was. Finally, the drop rate for skeleton keys is about the same or better than for the strike exclusives it's meant to give you, only now you get to pick which strike exclusive you get. So [i]that's[/i] a net buff, too. Literally, you don't have a single fact correct.

                • They only nerfed them once at the start of year two, and three of coins allows the player more control over their chance at an exotic while year one was complete luck no control. The strike hoard chests were implemented for two reasons one to stop people from farming a single strike for a chance at an item and second to stop people from farming a single strike.

                  • I agree that the skeleton key system sucks. Basically there's no excitement from killing a boss if you have no keys or don't get a key. I miss the days of legendaries dropping a lot. They never do now, even with the streak bonus, and when they do, it's armor which is worthless past 385.
