Did people really think that the patch was going to give them more legendary gear?

Understanding the drop rate game..... I keep reading these posts "now im only getting blues" and " the patch had more changes then they said". I want you to think about the loot system and drop rates. remember legendary gear should not be easy to get via random drops. [b]PRE Patch[/b] The reason your legendary engrams were turning blue before is because the drop rate for legendary gear from mobs was/is low as it should be. Getting a legendary engram just told you that you had a better chance of getting a purple much like winning the 1st round of a drawing. you would get a good amount of purple engrams most if not all would turn blue. I will agree this was a dumb way of doing it. [b]POST PATCH[/b] They changed around the way we deal with that low drop rate. NOW instead of getting legendary engrams that turn blue, you get mostly if not all blue engrams. HELLO PEOPLE!!! they didn't change the drop rate.. they mad it easier to understand for those who I guess couldn't figure it out before. Those purps you would get in the mail from lvling up were never ment to ALWAYS be purple, no they were meant to be rare in most cases. Before you complain about how the patch broke everything blaa blaaa think about how rare a legendary piece of gear SHOULD BE. you should not be relying on random mob drops to gear your toon anyway. Those drops should be considered a bonus nothing more. Edit: The title should say "more legendary gear from random drops" this post is about random drops not awards from completing stuff. :)

  • I have no issues withe drop rate of Legendaries, but I do have a funny story from last night. I ranked up my Cryptarch buy turning in several engrams that I got while collecting a few bounties, so I get a package from him at the post master (or whatever it's called). I go over there to get the messages and like magic I get two Legendary weapon engrams. I'm pretty stoked since I'm a level 26 and only have one Legendary weapon--my trusty Swarm machine gun. I envision my new Legendary Auto Rifle and Sniper Rifle. Like a giddy kid at Christmas, I hop back over to the Cryptarch and hurriedly press square and hit X for him to decode them (PS4 player). So what did I get?? I got a 2nd Swarm Legendary machine gun from the first engram and with the 2nd engram I got--get this--another Legendary Machine Gun. Too funny. I know have 3 Legendary weapons--all machine guns. Oh well, stuff happens and I'm fine with it. Hopefull my next Legendary decrypt will be better!
