[b]Here is a list of all the legendary and exotic gear I've earned so far in the game, having reached level 28:
None![/b]
I literally [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/72764198/0/0]never[/url] get good gear.
[url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/72764198/0/0][b]I have played every day since day one, and [i]never [/i]earned any gear other than blue and green trash. Not even one item of legendary or exotic weapon or armour. Not one![/b][/url] ALL of my gear is charity items purchased from vendors.
[b]For comparison, here is a list of the gear my co-op buddy has got, having reached level 28 and played the same games as me -- he routinely gets good gear while I literally never get anything:[/b]
Exotic weapons:
Hard Light (assault rifle)
Ice Breaker (sniper rifle)
Exotic bounty not yet started, because no need (cannot recall which)
Others (I cannot recall)
Legendary weapons:
Final Boss (sniper rifle)
The Comedian (shotgun) -- yeah, he's definitely laughing, at me!
Cryptic Dragon (scout rifle)
Red Hand IX (hand cannon)
Grim Citizen III (assault rifle)
Super Pox CLO (pulse rifle)
Epitaph 2261 (sniper rifle)
Invisible Hand M7 SG (shotgun)
77 Wizard (fusion rifle)
Exodus Plan RS/1 (rockets)
Others (I cannot recall)
Legendary armor
Monitor Type 2 (helmet)
Monitor Type 2 (chest)
Nerigal Savant II (leg)
Others (too many to remember)
I'd be happy with ONE item from this list, but I have NOTHING.
He also gets numerous Titan marks, and countless nice items from opening chests, including big stacks of ascendant materials, and big stacks of harvestable materials, and countless ships (Fangs of Nyx, etc) and other nice stuff. I have never had anything from a chest other than green trash gear from chests, and up to 25 glimmer and a maximum of 2 harvestable items.
[b]CONCLUSION: RNG GLITCH![/b]
Until yesterday. Yesterday, we started nightfall with him AFK for 5 minutes, and by the time he picked up his controller he had a legendary engram which became yet another legendary weapon. I have only ever had two legendary engrams. One turned into blue trash pre patch. The other, yesterday, turned into a hunter cloak when I do not have a hunter and that item dismantled into class trash materials that I cannot use.
Yesterday, I did finally get Invective for completing that one specific exotic bounty. But [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/73125415/0/0/1]Bungie has nerfed Invective, the one and only exotic weapon I have ever earned[/url] -- my one and only really good weapon, and one of only two weapons other than raid exclusives which require a degree of skill to obtain.
[b]CONCLUSION: ONGOING RNG GLITCH![/b]
EDIT: Destiny's so-called RNG is not RNG. Not that Bungie ever claimed it was. There is weighting,. I believe the weighting is flawed, but it could also be deliberate to serve some purpose I'm not aware of. People can stop calling it RNG now. I;m sharing this fact with the community. Take it or leave it. But be aware that this game is severely unbalanced and a character's "luck" is certainly not as random as players think.

1 ReplySame thing, until one day last week, "that's when everything changed" I've been on a roll since. I think I may have figured it out. Hear me out for just one minute. They pay out based on time invested in game. Less time= more pay to get you hooked to play more. More time =less pay because you are already giving them the time they want. Test it out. Ease up for a couple days and then come back at it. I am almost positive your payout will change.

5 RepliesCry some more about it.... I havent seen a legendary in a week... Poor u. Guess bungie is out to get you. Play the raid. U will get some legendary gear hopefully. But then again u may complete that 5 times then cry about how u only got boots. Or u could always upgrade a faction and buy legendaries from them... But then u will cry that u dont have enough marks to buy the shit.... -blam!-ING CASUALS... Never happy... ALWAYS CRYING!!!

8 RepliesHave you finished a nightfall? I've gotten an exotic the last three weeks in a row.

It's called having bad luck. Besides you bought your gear, you've earned it all? Why are you moaning? Because it wasn't handed to you at random? You should enjoy the fact your gear is the closest to earnt that it can be! People with RNG exotics got it handed to them from what is essentially a slot machine of loot.

1 ReplyEdited by CeIestial Demon: 10/18/2014 8:58:51 AMprobably because you expect legendary drops to drop for you lol.. which they do not anymore hardly ever.. you have to do nightfall or raids to earn your gear from now on..

6 RepliesEdited by Nes: 10/17/2014 8:09:47 PMYou would need a sample size that is quite large, considering how insanely big the Destiny community is. Something like 1000+ people, maybe, before any theory could be laid out. It would need to include very lucky people, not lucky people, and middle-of-the-road people to have any real basis. And then you would have to account for wild cards, like me (see below) I started the game on my Hunter, and I had non-stop exotics within a few days (like 8 over 2 days, and a number of legendary gear I cant be bothered to count), but in order for your weighting hypothesis to be accurate, Id have to continue having a non-stop flow of exotics or legendary gear, which is not what happened. I rolled all ascendant materials (relatively speaking, these are the UNLUCKY rewards) in VoG three weeks in a row, while the rest of my fireteam (considerably LESS lucky than I am), would average 2 armor parts and a weapon each run. Of course, this example doesnt disprove your hypothesis, it's just one example. If anything, my self-case study puts forward the possibility that luck fluctuates weekly, ala Phantasy Star Universe. Personally, I doubt it's anything but pure random luck, but everything is worth examining, I suppose.

I sympathise. Truth be told RNG hasn't done much for me either. I bought my Sunbreaker's off Xur and I got my Legendary Shotgun and Legendary Sniper Rifle by levelling up the Cryptarch but in terms of actual equipment and engram drops out in the wild and end of mission rewards there has been zilch.
-
i have to concur with you as i have gotten nothing till today. i got a ship from doing the raid lol. i also bought gear from xur but no exotic bounties yet. my luck is crappy so i buy things or try real hard to get them like everyone else. best of luck to those rabbit holders lmao

4 RepliesDid you finish the weekly nightfall?

4 RepliesTwo notes: Practically all RNG is weighted, and nothing is ever truly random. If you are a master of timing, you will be able to do whatever you want in a random numbers game, because RNG in a computer system is based on what time it is. Secondly, that's bad luck, and little to no way of proving that its actually glitched. I've gotten, in total, ~4 legendaries, 1 exotic over the course of 100+ hours. That's not the best odds ever. But just keep working.

6 RepliesShow some muscles and do the raid, gear guaranteed every run!
-
5 RepliesWait, how do you get to 28 without any legendary gear?
-
2 RepliesHonest assessment. Not calling you a newb, just pointing out that you've averaged less than 3 hours a day. It takes a ton of farming to find legendaries without grinding rep and buying with marks.

1 ReplyReally? You have full legendary armour.
