This is simply not true. Here is some simple math for a hypothetical but likely accurate situation: Current exotic drop rate for PE: 10% Current exotic drop rate for NF: 10% Current exotic drop rate for HS: 10% Now reduce drop rates by 65% across the board: New exotic drop rate for PE: 3.5% New exotic drop rate for NF: 3.5% New exotic drop rate for HS: 3.5% Now introduce 3oC which adds 50% increase across the board (but doesn't work on Heroic Strikes (HS)): With 3oC exotic drop rate for PE: 5.25% With 3oC exotic drop rate for NF: 5.25% With 3oC exotic drop rate for HS: 3.5% Now can you see why everyone's drop rates are lower now with 3oC vs before the changes?? And I'm only assuming the drop rate drop before they added 3oC is around 65% because it is certainly lower than 50% otherwise everyone would notice a 0% change, one way or another, and Bungie's testers aka people who buy their products, have already proved a decrease at this point. And why not disclose all this? Why decrease their drop chance to begin with?? I just don't get it. Atleast I'm not butt hurt over the actual results bc it doesn't matter to me personally at this point...its just the principle of the matter. Bungie is on a hot seat right now...the last thing they need to be doing is slapping the judges wife.

  • Where did you get the "reduce rates by 65%" from? And "And I'm only assuming the drop rate drop before they added 3oC is around 65% because it is certainly lower than 50% " 65% seems way too high, maybe 6.5%

  • It's a number I estimated based off stats people are tracking drop percentages with. For example, if the current drop rate for an exotic in a public event 3 weeks ago was 8% and Bungie cut the rate by 65% it would drop that chance to 5%. Not a super noticible # but some may pick up on it...i did and they stated they dropped the chances in a statement. Just didn't disclose details. Ok now add a 3oC which they say adds a 50% increase. So now 5% becomes 7% with a coin on and 5% without. This is, in theory, where that data is validated and why people are reporting an actual decrease in their statistics.

  • Ok, I missed their post about them dropping the rate. However the amount of people and data points you need to get an acurate distrobution is very big.

  • Spot on. Bungie just thinks we are stupid and just keep buying silver.

  • Agreed. Heck, I’m perfectly OK with the exotic drop rate now. Was way to easy before and I’ve already got every Exotic Weapon and almost all Exotic Armour which is quite sad really.

  • Right? I'm ok with the current drop rate right now too...and I'm also like two fated engrams away from having everything so it doesn't hurt me...but Bungie needs to be more transparent and test their games to make sure it's working as advertised. They think it's ok to not disclose details bc it means they don't have to test it to make sure it works...since nobody has a clue what to expect. Fail.

  • Yeah, but that can be said about most companies. Skyrim has to be the most untested game out there lmao.

  • With all honesty, I'm more concerned with the actual advantages from masterworks... Is Sins of the Past with Blast radius really doing anything? The base stat is already 100. Why are my stats on my app not showing up properly? Why would a stat change if it has nothing to do with the added perk? Why don't I see any changes? Range perk isn't changing the drop rate, reload speed is unrecognizable, blast radius doesn't seem to change anything, etc. Atleast the orb droppings are working...and are a welcoming addition.
