Just carried someone who couldn’t even damage Atheon, got Vex on his second run.

We needed a body. He only had one character that was high enough level. After he did that character we told him to switch to the lower character and hide in the corner, let’s see if we can 5 man it. He never got teleported. He shot Atheon. It said immune. It was his first D2 VoG. Second Atheon. He got Vex. Two attempts, one of which where he did literally nothing. Here I am at 39. Doesn’t matter. I’ve done the raid without me personally dying. Doesn’t matter. I’ve done every encounter with less than a full team. Doesn’t matter. I’ve defeated Atheon on Master. Doesn’t matter. I’ve Sherpaed people through. Doesn’t matter. I’ve done every role for every encounter through to completion. Doesn’t matter. Helped several people get their catalyst. Doesn’t matter. This is literally the worst reward mechanic there is. Which, at this point why even call it a reward because apparently you can get it without even doing anything! His Vex is a participation trophy for just showing up! It doesn’t reward ability. It doesn’t reward experience. It doesn’t reward time. It breeds disappointment and resentment, and leaves players helpless to do anything about it because there is NOTHING they can do to increase their chance. Nothing about how you actually play the raid matters, at all, in any way. How does that make any sense? It makes people feel like -blam!- and not want to play. I can’t wait to see your lack of transparency when it comes to this in the TWAB.

  • I think some of you need to take a break from the game. This is as bad as a lot of players that complained on this forum that they didn't get Ghorn in D1 Y1 or they couldn't join a team because they didn't have it. IMO you guys are doing exactly what Bungie wants you to. Wasting way too much time focusing on one thing that seems to be ( out of your control ) and you don't like that. Well, guess what? Bungie is in control and you have to accept that. Enough with the "I can't get vex". Who gives a flying hoot, it's just an animated child's play thing. So what that it hasn't dropped, It's not the end of the world.

    • random is random is random, that’s the answer to why. RNG doesn’t care it’s purely numbers. I do agree that the bad luck protection could be better though.

      • Truthfully, I think this game inventories your time spent. The more you do a given activity, the lower drop rates. Example, I’ve done Astral Alignment the absolute minimum possible this season. When I started farming Ager’s catalyst, got it second try. My friend who does AA for fun, has been trying since without luck. This happens when I play Gambit too (I abhor it). My first couple matches, I get flooded with Borrowed Times, Bottom Dollars, and Trinary Systems.

        • Kind funny how they don't guarantee us the content we pay for at any point. A raid exotic should never have a 3% drop rate, and should always have their bad luck protection.

        • Isn’t it strange how so many people who NEVER raid get it, and those who carry them have to wait, and wait, and….

        • I saw this happen all the time in Last Wish. My team and I all had completed the raid over 20 times and I swear the person we sherpa'd had around a 50% chance of getting 1KV on their first run. I get why Bungie does this. A casual player is much more likely to come back if they have that sweet new exotic weapon. Bungie knows they have us weekly raiders in their pocket already, they just need to figure out ways to keep us playing longer. Unfortunately they think keeping weapons away from us is the way to achieve this. It is driving me away from the game rather than making me play it more. When I got Whisper of the Worm I spent a lot of time having fun with the weapon and helping others get it. To me, that is how exotic weapons should be. Get it and have fun with it and help others get it. Player time goes up because people are logging on to have fun with that weapon.

          • Agreed. Did my 53rd looted clear tonight withtout a drop. This is the straw that broke the camel's back, that's making me never wanna play this game again, and I'm a guy who did 93 EP clears for an Ikelos Shotty.

            This community is so hypocritical its embarassing. So many times ive read "if you arent willing to put in the work you dont get the loot" But ive seen comments under this post mad at the author because a player THAT LITERALLY COULDNT EVEN DO DAMAGE got an extremely hard to get exotic. He didnt work for it, he didnt have to try or play his best, he hid in a corner and did absolutely NOTHING. Im gonna be the a§hole and say no, he didnt deserve it, he didnt earn it, he did nothing. Mean while his team had to make up for him and do all the work to get nothing comparable. About like people claiming they deserve more loot for multiple flawless runs in trials because they had to play people their skill level but sit here and tell pve players they have a victim mentality. So which is it? Should loot have to be worked for and earned or just handed out for free cause if thats the case i expect to get 1k without ever touching LW again. Pathetic hypocrits man i swear lol

            • Yep, took 45 clears for me. I had basically given up. I love raids, but the RNG is stupid.

            • Oh well. You play the game knowing the risk reward. Literally can’t even scroll the forum without people complaining about a drop rate of one weapon. Boo hoo it’s destiny that’s how it works

                  Sounds like the good old days of Destiny. When we carried each other when it did not matter we just helped one another and did not -itch about it. You invited them into the team. Just to add we were so happy when people got great drops.

                  • Why did you invite him to your team if you were just going to whine and cry about him getting what the raid drops? Hopefully he dropped your group after all this.

                      • The problem isn’t him it’s you. The Vex gods didn’t find you worthy of wielding the vex. It’s not personal it’s business. Keep crying and the vex gods will continue to place their wrath upon you.

                            • The noob spun the slots and the game rewarded him. Good for him. I think I'm done caring at this point. Gonna play once a week. Do my three Atheon checkpoints, not get the gun and then dip. Why even bother with the rest of the game at this point? Vex is the last thing on my list of things I want.
