Three of Coins Functionality
Hey all,
Throughout the weekend, we’ve been monitoring player feedback concerning the recently added Three of Coins consumable offered by Xûr. We’d like to give clarification on the functionality of this item:
[quote][b]When players use a Three of Coins consumable, this provides a 50% increase to the base chance of being rewarded an Exotic Engram upon activity completion. Using this consumable does not guarantee an Exotic reward upon completing a set number of activities – but rather increased chances upon each activity completion.[/b][/quote]
[b]Note:[/b] We have found that Heroic Strikes do not currently grant higher chances for Exotics when using Three of Coins consumables, compared to Vanguard Strikes. We’re looking to address this with a future Hotfix, expected in early 2018.
We will continue to monitor and forward feedback concerning this feature throughout the holiday season. Keep it coming!
Later this week, we’ll have notes from the development team on additional feedback items that we’re looking to address in the future. Stay tuned.
Cheers,
-dmg04

So a 5% drop rate is buffed to 7.5% Yep, this is the same Bungie that tried to rationalize a 0.04% auto rifle buff as being meaningful.
-
So this isn't a grind game. If u guys would have told me y'all were gonna be handing stuff out I would have applied for d.s.i.[spoiler] Destiny Supplemental Income[/spoiler]
-
Might i suggest putting this post in game? i can only imagine the countless players who do not frequent the blog posts however they're using three coins thinking it's working correctly however all the while losing their materials in the process.

I really don't know how a AAA developer can be so absolutely useless when it comes to implementing and testing their "fixes". seems like every time your development team touches something it stops working. Dogs are glitched AF in Leviathan, 3oC do not work correctly and seem to break the system for the majority of participants. this is the first weekend where I have not gotten a single exotic and I ran 3oC the entire time. it doesn't work. say what you will about the 'observation', but you're full of shit. I don't understand how with 3 years of live development on D1 you couldn't learn and implement ANYTHING that you fixed there. no collections for sparrows/ghosts/shaders/missions. increased requirement of Eververse (directly in contrast to what the community wanted btw). decrease in end-game incentive. Over Simplified and shitty multiplayer options. Watered down content from D1 rinsed, altered, and (in some cases completely) changed to make no sense with what it was in D1 (looking at you Stag). Bungie, you are washed up. you should probably just give up. your innovation is non-existent. your ability to tell a story is still shite. your engagement with the community is limited only to "it's doing what we wanted it to so -blam!-off community" even when the community HATES the decision. we had such high hopes for this game. and instead we get a steaming pile of horseshit in our mouths. P.S. even though Laser Tag Weekend was AMAZING, you had to go and -blam!- that up too so all those MIDAwhores could get back to their last hope crutches.

dmg=DAMAGE

I don't know DeeJ. Seen lots of reports of zero exotic drops on consecutive uses. Think you need to check again.
-
Can you please give us some real numbers? These percentage values don't mean much. If it got increased to 0.00015 instead of 0.0001, it's still nearly zero … But a 50% increase really sounds great, doesn't it?
-
50% increase?! lmao. on a lazy day with no 3oC i can get 1 exotic in 4 hours... busting my ass while using 3oC? 0 exotics in 12 hours. Nice try dmg04, you're game just sucks. drop the PR act and just own up to it....
-
1 RespuestaCurious to know what the drop rates for exotics are for various activities. 50% increase in the rate sounds great, but if we are talking about increasing a rate from 1% to 1.5%, then I am not sure it’s adding enough value to warrant the spend of legendary shards. Not sure if these figures can be shared, but I think it would be helpful information. Thanks.
-
I love seeing them numbers go down. -blam!- this game😐
-
I've never been so happy to jump ship. It's like getting in a life raft before the titanic struck the iceberg.
-
Ahhh yes, why fix what is broken today? Lets wait weeks to fix it. It's officially time to break out the lube, I'm tired of getting drilled dry by Bungle.
-
I realize developing a game is extremely complicated but good lord c’mon. You guys are really batting a thousand right now. Geesh it’s one thing after another.
-
1 RespuestaSomething sounds wrong about the math, from the feedback people keep leaving. I won't use these until I start hearing people say these are fixed.
-
Spent all my shards on 3oC expecting more drops. Played for 3 days each time with a 4 hr window with 3oC active. Got one exotic every time from pubs, strikes, crucible - 4 h window. I am pretty sure i would have gotten the same rate whether or not 3oC was active. Like the guy below me says - so its 15% now instead of 10%? I dont understand why stacking wasn't an option like D1
-
Haha, so they only work in the activities you've reduced the drop rate on? So the fix for too many shards involves lowering drop rates and selling a consumable to up them. Ridiculous.
-
So, how about a refund for the several I wasted this weekend while doing ONLY heroic strikes? You know, since there was literally 0% benefit. Legendary shards tossed into the wind.
-
Yeah while I get the 50% chance, blah blah blah.. I used them all weekend running everything BUT regular strikes.. and got nothing. Killed bosses and heroic events.. nada. Kinda feel like its not working as intended.
-
ITT people still defending Bungie in 2017
-
3 Respuestasso farm for exotics in regular strikes....got it.
-
Bullshit. 3oC lowers the drop rate
-
I think at a minimum if you pop a three of coins you should be guaranteed 1 exotic during that four hour period. That seems fair to me since the 3oC is expensive and will be tougher to purchase once our shard reserves are depleted.
-
Although I do believe that is a big issue, A Bigger issue is that 95% of the player base is not getting any sort of increase but a decrease in Exotic Drops. 80% of us I am [u]assuming[/u] know that it isn't a Guarantee Drop for either each/any activity every time (That would be silly). But rather they are decreasing our chances either by 50% or 90%, as very FEW people are getting a single Exotic Drop within the 4 Hours the Three of Coins last. We would like a [u]Direct[/u] address for this issue (Any issue) for Once. Instead of a small subtle even unnoticeable reference to the actual issue we are experiencing. I do thank you again for letting us know that it was not affecting Heroic Strikes, but that adds to our current issues. P.s. Get the heads to add more Vault Space and go back to the Superior Vault Design of Destiny 1 (Aka the Separate Weapons, Armor and Extras. This time with 300 Space in all three [u]Separately[/u]) oh and the Kiosks. Not the silly and lazy Collection design in Destiny 2 now that doesn't even have all of them or the horns.
-
2 RespuestasDoes any & all activities count even crucible & trials of nine ? The description it gives is rather vague... why not just say that it increases all exotic drop chances by 50% ? just be plain and simple instead of those vague descriptions that could make most confused or simply puke over the lack of attention
-
1 RespuestaEditado por STEVE NEUROTIC: 12/18/2017 7:24:23 PMI read that you also lowered the drop rates of exotic engrams across all activities. What percent did you lower them by vs. what percent of increase does 3 of coins give? If the percentage of increase in the chance 3 of coins offers is not higher than or is equal to the percent by which you lowered the drop rate, then you either made things worse, or they’re just the same as before, except now you have to pay shards.... which is total B.S. and was a complete waste of your resources!
-
You incompetent -blam!-ing idiots!!! Get off your asses and do something about it! They clearly don’t work! No wonder people hate this game so much! You just ignore the issues and act like everything is fine! You guys are blinded by your own greed 😡😡
