Xürs Exotic Helmet Engram - 1 in 3 chance (Needs Fixing)

Yes Xur has also screwed me over

74

I have always gotten my class from exotic Engrams

24

Who's Xur?

28

Please read my other comments below before commenting. ie - I knew it was 1 in 3 chance. ie - this was my 3rd exotic engram of not my class, etc I think this is an issue and I suggest some fixes - See my replies to Henry123x EDIT I still think each class should at least be able to aquire their classes helmet from Xur reliably. ------------------RANT-------------------- I am practicly ready to give up on Destiny already. Trying to level from 26 to 27.. Spent a week grinding motes and another week waiting for Xur because I was a few hours late due to the whole weekend thing... So yeah, I was looking forwed to finialy getting into some seriose fun and guese what... Xur gave me a Titan specific class Helmet.. I'm a Hunter ffs.... I've got all purple gear with the exception of my blue helmet... Seriose Bungie.. Can't you have it check what I desperately need first before allowing my exotic engram to turn into a useless door stop.. Yes I had to burn the thing, yes it gave me exotic materials in exchange, but I lost 23 motes and 2 weeks of gameplay.

  • Your poll should have an option for there being nothing wrong with what happened. Sorry, but you have just been unlucky. 0 successes on 3 tries at 1/3 probability each will happen about 30% of the time. Yes, you were unlucky, but it's not like that is an impossibly rare circumstance and something was broken. There shouldn't be a calculation for what you need on your character. Engrams are a lottery system, pure and simple RNG.

    • 3 Classes of Guardians to use for the game, all character kills or accumulative, the vault can hold anything accessible for which ever class you play.. If you get an engraving not for your class simply vault it ready for when you play as a new character! Pretty cool concept if you look outside the tower in :)

        The game analyzes all the data that you put into it. Say you profusely use a warlock at some point your going to get a different class item, I'd like to believe it's the game nudging you to diversify. Same thing with using specific weapons, just finished a strike with 100 kills, ten being shotgun, 60 being pulse rifle, and twenty being machine gun, five for ability and five for grenades. The game compiles this data into percentages, basically you would more than likely end up with a crappy blue primary engram (not all the time obviously) of you ran it that way multiple times. Trying to prove the PLS theory is the same as proving its a simple RNG, like proving that a religion is false. Do with this information as you will.

        • You need to learn how to read before you complain. I won't go into details because it's going to be a waste of time and there are better problems to be addressed.

            • Why are you buying enagrams... I mean you only have a 1/3 chance to get gear for your class, you are better off just waiting until next weekend for him to pop up somewhere else it's not like he's difficult to find in the tower

              • Try doing nightfall with someone take ur time it will be a lot easy if u have bought ice breaker cause u never need to worry about ammo. Then that way u can get the extra xp for the week. It helps.

                • If you got another classes helmet and you are not planning to use it for that class dismantle it and get some shards so you can level up your currently equipt armor. It happend to me as well but no biggie just play at other areas that might offer legendary or exotic armor. Its frustrating anf time consuming but it will come.

                  • BTW... Bungie.... I want my Exotic Helmet.. PSN: Far_From_Human I expect a response at the very least, but what I want is my helmet I worked for. And oh, did I mention that my partner and I bought 2 ps4's and 2 copies of Destiny so we could play together... Now Neither of os will see the Vault anytime soon... I will never make it to 27 for months if 2 weeks can go past without even gaining so much as a millimetre on my Light Level.
