I HATE RNG

RNG IS AWESOME!

RNG NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED

hey man i just want to play the game

So personally I have my pros and cons with destiny when it comes to opinions especially the RNG loot system. But this is absolutely ridiculous, I just finished a game not too long ago in the Iron Banner scoring 32 kills , with 4 assists a K/Dr of 1.38 and overall game score of 6390 , my team also won , but i didn't receive a single thing.Usually i don't mind if the end game rewards don't give me much because I've ALWAYS obtained something , but this is just ridiculous, why not reward skilled players? Bungie I personally think you should replace RNG completely with a skill/score based reward system for PvP. lets get a petition going and show bungie how much we hate RNG

    • No no no! This makes only good players able to advance. I'm not saying that its good the way it is, but then only a top group would get any stuff. Plus, a 1.38 is not good enough to guarantee loot in a loot for play style game. A 2 k/d? Yeah. 1.4? No.

      • Maybe not such an absolute option could be available. I think if you look at the purpose we could still offer solution. The purpose besides random reward is what I assume to be replayability for a chance to be so lucky and of course to keep people coming back. Ok, cool, random rewards are awsome! However, the implementation seems off for a hybrid game. Most core players here are completionists at heart and want to collect everything. To this end, the random drop is like a preview while every else waits. Some suggestions: Raid armor should be awarded for each loot boss with helmet being hard raid finish is fair. Then guns can still be rng however, once one is acquired it should be removed from the roll. There you still have replayability yet you get rewarded for time put in. It's just a ruined experience coming out empty handed or with dupes. Crusible: 9/10 the bottom player gets the best drop.(I've been one too, an exotic I already had btw). There should be a way to get high performing players a higher roll chance. I'm not good but when I finish as a top player there is nothing more disappointing the seeing the former transpire. Nightfall and strikes- I don't really know what to suggest since these arn't difficult to finish but maybe again having duplicate chances removed.

        • How about if you are higher scored in a game you have a higher chance/rate of getting better loot

        • There needs to be a loot system where if someone gets an exotic in your fire team or group there chance of getting one decreases and your chance increases. So if you don't get a vex and gjallarhorn in a raid then next time you have a higher chance of getting one than the next guy.

        • Meh, I'm not much of one for PvP. The few times I've tried, I have gotten precisely nothing. The few times my son brought in his char, he's gotten nothing. My K/D is somewhere less than 1; his is quite a bit better. Still, nothing for either of us. Ever. Now, the raid? First time I received kabr's chest piece and about 20 shards. Second time was 20 energies and the Epilogue. I swear, it's just enough to suck you into playing more.

          • Lmao. I agreed with you until I read that this was for PvP. Winning is it's own reward. Now the RNG in the Raid, that's a completely different story in my book

            • RNG in this game just plain sucks. It is sad when my raid team has raided every week for last month and a half, and did four hard raids but the only way for some of us to hit lvl 30 is to play iron banner and buy PvP boots and gauntlets. The last five raids I've done I received nothing but ascendant shards/energy. The endgame should have guaranteed drops in addition to the shards/energy. If you are good enough to beat VoG then you should be rewarded. Oh and how's this for a kick in the sack? Just finished hard raid again for the week. I needed boots and helmet for 30 but I also have IB lvl 3 unlocked to buy those boots in case they don't drop in VoG. We beat Aetheon. I get shards and the dam ship of glass again. Raid team member gets TWO helmets that he doesn't need because guess what... He's lvl 30 and got the helmet last week! If that doesn't prove that this game is broken then I don't know what else would.

            • dude tell me about it. there have been matches where i have finished with 26 kills to 3 deaths, have the highest score and still get nothing. now when i play and do well, i get nothing. nothing at all. back in the past i used to get blue stuff by now I'm just getting nothing at all. RNG has just given up completely and left me in the dust.

              • 4th option: I don't want it to be the only way of getting endgame gear. imo, rare and below is fine.

              • Increasing a higher performing players chance of rolling better RNG doesn't mean you have to decrease an average players chances. It's not like one person getting something kills your chances in any way. At least in theory.

                  Weird, I was just going to ask if Bungie actually increased the drop rate overall with the last patch. I just got 2 strange coins in a row, a legendary for dinging 5 in Crucible faction in the mail (instead of the always-crap-blue-nothings), and have been getting a couple more ascendant energies and shards than usual for doing world events (usually you only have a chance to get one for the first event you do for the day). I wonder if they did this to help people level up faster so they'd want to buy the expansion and get to 32? After all, who cares about 32 when you can't even get to 30?

                    • I don't believe in RNGesus. It is a false god. I've never gotten anything higher than rares aside from one purple that turned into energy. I've bought everything else. Jesus > RNGesus

                    • At the least bungie can throw a chance of getting upgrade materials into the crucibles rng so its not a completely moronic and worthless system

                    • If the good players get rewarded and the average/ bad players don't, then the good will get better whilst the bad stay bad and get nothing to help them improve. Random is for a reason. It's been like that from the start, why are we STILL complaining about this?

                      • The only two exotics I've seen handed out in the IB were for the last place finishers, each time. One had 2 kills and a .15. It does seem a little disheartening (and way more like welfare then buying something from Xur).

                          The RNG system should scale with performance, however RNG itself is a good thing imho.

                          • Dear Bungie, Now im going to say this in the most polite way i can possibly say it in...GET RID OF YOUR -blam!-ING RNG!!! I have a rank 2 in my raid grimore progress. I do the hard raid,beat in about 3 hours,you know what i get...do you know what i get...THE -blam!-ING TIMEBREAKER. ok ok, lets try it again next week. I do it again next week. Anoth 3 hours put into this raid and we get to atheon. Me and my fireteam received 2 error messages and had numerous lag encounters along the FINAL BOSS PART. So that added about another 2 hours to the final stage of this raid. But, we FINALLY finished it, my friend who has NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EEEVVVERRRR DONE THE HARD RAID GETS THE -blam!-ING WARLOCK RAID HELMET...THE ONLY -blam!-ING PIECE OF GEAR YOU CAN GET IN HARD MODE AND GUESS WHAT...HE GETS IT THE -blam!-ING FIRST TIME HE DOES THE HARD RAID. Oh, and i havent already explained this but i need the raid helmet to be level 30. You might ask,"What did you get?" Well, to put it nicely...I GOT THE -blam!-ING TIMEBREAKER -blam!-ING AGAIN. FIX THIS STUPID BULLSHIT SOON AND -blam!-ING MAKE THE REWARD SYSTEM BETTER.
