So far each season adds 3 exotics that can only be gotten from Lost sectors. I don't htink this is a very good way to do this especially as we keep adding more and more. The lost sectors being a way to kind of target farm exotics is an ok idea enough already but it being the ONLY way i don't find very enjoyable I still feel they should have a boosted drop rate in whatever the seasonal activity is as an alternative to Legend Lost Sectors. Then AFTER that season is over be put into the normal pool. These aren't something that should really be all that gated in the first place they aren't adept weapons or something to really flex these define builds and are more foundations for actually playing around good accessibility is really required.
Or I would at least like a reduced chance of acquiring an exotic if i can actually play these lost sectors with friends so it itself isn't as boring and tedious. As it is there is basically no benefit to go in with more than one person at all, the legend chances are pretty bad and Master chances so negligibly better it is not worth while.
I personally would just have the chances as such
Legend:
1 person 25% of Exotic armor drop
2 people 15%
3 people 10%
Master:
1 person 40% of Exotic armor drop
2 people 25%
3 people 15%
Keep in mind these do drop with random rolls and isn't always an upgrade in stat count or allocation

I liked the lost sector idea but don’t think it should be the only source, just say endgame activities have a chance to drop, so dungeons and nightfalls / raids etc
-
Aye, just change it up a bit - sure, a way to farm existing for better drops (I just roll with RNG) - but to have to do the same crap every season - heck I barely bother as most kit is meh at best - or nerfed within a week. Or locked & nerfed 2x less than a month into a season. Old way was better. Even with RNG, just play and I got it all. This system is for F2P / new lights... and irritating.

If they refuse to update the extremely outdated lost sector farm, they should let us buy as many exotic engrams from Xur as we want. We could in D1 and they were focused engrams too. With 37 exotics per character and climbing, we need a more efficient farm. I don't care if some tiny group of people out there run lost sectors in under 5 minutes, its boring and unrewarding. Finally get one and its the wrong one. Wrong stat line. Low stats. No spikes. Too much goes wrong and all you wind up with is a pile of worthless legendary shards.

10 RepliesImho: new season exotic weapon/armour engrams should be available for Season Pass holders from the Season Pass exotic engram slots therein. Period. They should also be available to one and all, as a nice surprise random drop across all activities, ie, Gambit / Crucible / Vanguard. Finally, they should be a guaranteed drop within 7 completions of a Legend Lost Sector. I say 7 because it’s a good number…though I would prefer either 3 or 5…but not 4. 🤖 Furthermore, it would be nice to select a preferred Lost Sector in which to do it, though the burns etc. can remain random. That’s it! 🫡 Cheers! MDGA 👈

12 RepliesI play games to shoot aliens. Not become a farmer. If I want to be a farmer in real life, when you farm, you reap what you sow. Here, guardians are hamsters.🤣 You ride your sparrow but you are exactly where they want you to be. On the same spot of the hamster wheel. Watch out when they say sandbox. That box is shaped like a wheel. A hamster wheel. Haha!

PVE is built around co-op and these lost sectors are forced solo... has never made sense.
-
I would honestly hope for more than useless exotics that tend to be useful to a single build, i hope for an actual story that doesn't take 3 hours to complete and then have minor crap where you do the same game mode over and over and over and over again. If they wanted this game to be this boringly repetative, they shouldn't have released the game with the 'Red War' campaign....that got me hooked, if i knew it would turn into this rubbish, i wouldn't have played the game at all. Exotic drops were better when it first came out...they nerfed it cause people complained about it....go figure.

13 RepliesEdited by LØNE WØLF: 9/17/2022 3:27:58 PMI haven’t gotten one new exotic since they’ve been gated behind lost sector “completions”. When I have to run the same sector multiple times and still get nothing it really feels disrespectful of my time 🤷🏻♂️

7 RepliesExotics should be added to xur's loot pool after about a year of being in lost sector's

I haven't hopped into Legend lost sectors since I don't even know, the start of WQ when I wanted the Necrotic Grips for warlock, that way I could wear the GOA Hive-looking armor with cool poison gloves. I saw that the new Point Contact Cannon brace gloves came out for the Titan, then I saw within a week or two that the new toy had been nerfed, now I don't even want them, that and nothing else I don't have even remotely looks worth the grind, but I will do the WQ campaign on legend to get me a free Lorely's Splendor.
-
Agreed. Haven't run a lost sector the past 3 seasons. Seems pointless when all the good exotics are inevitably nerfed. Plus, the RNG factor is just annoying.
-
And that they no longer have PvP tied Quests.

Edited by Kouz_MC: 9/18/2022 7:11:21 AMI hope The First Descendant delivers! It’s a TPS without pvp, hence not a direct competitor to Destiny, however TFD feels like a fresh alternative to Destiny. I really hope it’s good enough to give Bungie the incentive to show more respect towards pve players’ time.
-
I always have all the new exotics on day 1, so i dont really mind.
-
Just add a grandmaster difficulty to lost sectors which guarantee an exotic Can’t be hard some of these you can complete in under 8 minutes

I disagree here for multiple reason A) Why lost sector Welp lost sector since the end of red war have been useless, gotta say it , they don't give interesting loot and are done only to progress some bounty. Tieng them with a harder difficulty and giving them an exclusive reward push the incentive to do Lost sector Give another activity the same reward and the lost sector will be empty again. and become once again a waste of space. So why solo and not with your friend. well ,that's mostly for new payer learning, legend lost sector are not that hard but that teach new player why anti champion mods matter Many people still complain abour running Nightfall with people who don't have anti champion mods. This is badly introduced (because the new player experience is bad ) but it helps a bit. and lost sector were never meant to be a "fireteam" activity considering they are in the open world so this sticks to it's root. the second bit is while being easy,they are still harder than most content so also gives a foot in the endgame content for new player if they never dare tried it it's a railway and being allowed to be carried trought it would destroy this purpose.

I’m only missing Boots of the assembler so I can’t complain. They seem to drop after a few tries or the next week. I personally would prefer to earn them by completing an interesting quest and place some rare legendaries behind lost sectors. Ones they’ve not made yet.

Also need something with raid exotic drop rate I get fed up get exotic over 40 clears

Edited by TonnoSenpai: 9/18/2022 11:25:54 AMlegend lost sector already have 25% drop rate , for master yeah they have to buff teh dropp rate to at least 50%
-
It's high time they gave us the option to farm a specific exotic armor piece.
-
Just don’t think will ever see the likes of quests similar to whisper or outbreak ….amazing exotic quests . The lost sector is ok for some but a exotic question now and again would be amazing . Light fall I’m really not sure about but we will find out next year .
-
Really? After all this you’re buying another expansion hoping something will change?

2 RepliesI've got exotic drops doing everything from raids to nightfalls to lost sectors to random patrols or public events. You just have to be more legendary with the DPS. Today I did the conflux 4 times on legendary (still only 1583 so can't do master yet) w/hunter, got my 1st gyrfalcon's hauberk and like my 5th raiju's harness on 3rd and 4th run, and got a 4th mantle of battle harmony for warlock at nightfall.

4 RepliesThe two exotics I did Legend Lost Sectors for dropped inside of 15 clears. One dropped in 8 clears I think, but def less than 20 for sure. These stories of 50 clears or more for nothing sound crazy.

I can’t see it changing.
