Legendary lost sectors still miserable slog
Grinding for an hour and 0 exotic drops.
Wasn't the drop rate buffed?
New difficulty doesnt make them any more interesting when i lose count of how many runs its been since a real reward.
Just take them out of the game.
-
My rule. 5 runs. No more. If I don't get the exotic within 5 runs I'm not doing it any longer.
-
Do it on master difficulty. The drop rate is much better on master difficulty.
-
So don't play them, they will see from numbers that there is a drop in people trying and hopefully change. It is up to players to make a stand, but thry won't because most of you are not that stubborn

Edited by FireStriker: 4/10/2023 9:20:29 AMSo they upped the drop rate but it was up by 3%. yeah not much lol But losectors should be fixed not removed
-
It's been reverted, either on accident or not. In Hotfix 7.0.0.5, it was fixed and the drop rates were great for the week. But at reset, the rates plunged back down. This seriously needs attention.

1 ReplyRan 30 lost sectors, 4 at Master level. Got 3 exotics, 1 of which was a stat roll of 56. 56.. Seriously? How is that even in the game and able to drop at all?? Who would use such a terrible roll? This is indeed a terrible slog, and in the end, utterly contemptable with regard to player lives and time. Yes, I enjoy the game, which is why I play it. Now, having spent 4 straight hours on what could have been a fun adventure, and have instead come away frustrated, unhappy, without anything I desired and there simply is no need for this. It's an easy fix. 10% drop rate? Why? To what end, when the items I am targeting are already in a large, indeterminate pool, and stats are also incredibly subject to rng? One of the worst things in all these types of games, is when loot is set behind ridiculous, time wasting barriers. When time comes to move on, it's unnecessary routines such as this that push players out. Another fail here, Bungie.

Is anyone getting exotic drops in the legend lost sectors? I did 4 runs today and flawless with no drop. I got purple gear (2 pieces) a couple enhancement cores, and a couple prisms. My husband did it yesterday and told me he got nothing, and I thought it was weird, so I went in today and nope nothing, nada, zip, zilch.
-
2 RepliesMan, it takes 10 minutes with proper mods/loadout. Prisms and cores are nice and every one-two runs, I get an exotic I need. Not sure what the problem is. Don't wanna say you're bad, but it's worth it to me.
-
9 RepliesSo serious question here: It costs nothing for Bungie to up the drop rate for exotics, right? I mean like as in dollars. Zero. Nada. Squat. Zilch. So why don't they just increase the drop rate and make their players happier? Is there a reason other than sadism?
-
3 RepliesI can’t believe it’s still a thing. I refuse to use my free time to SOLO grind a exotic lost sector for a BAD stat exotic gear. I did it one time and it was repetitive and boring as hell
-
Exotics are meant to drop from Lost Sectors on Legendary and Master? I thought it was just an enhancement prism farm ...
-
[quote]Grinding for an hour and 0 exotic drops. Wasn't the drop rate buffed? [/quote] Of course it was buffed. It went up 100x what it was before - from 0.00001% to 0.001%, but only if you buy the Special E-Verse Boon for 1000 silver and play between the hours of 3:15 and 3:20 am PST once a month on a Thursday.
-
1 ReplyI've already got all the exotics I wanted from LSS, I usually get one every 4 runs, I don't normally check how many runs I do, but I love to do LSS to test new builds or try to speedrun them more efficiently. It's also a very good source of resources for returning players like me.
-
Drop rate should be a guarantee, or at least stack toward 100% chance over a couple runs.
-
1 ReplyBungie, if you are going to raise the difficulty, then why not the reward? I know it is a mute point. I watched a video of some YouTuber sausage guy do a master lost sector and he got 3500 glimmer and 3 enhancement cores! It was pathetic and a slap in the face. What more proof does one need that they do not respect our time. Bloody hell.
-
Yea 2.5% to 3.0%. Really a massive buff. Lmao this company is trash!
-
Edited by JtMarsh7798: 4/9/2023 12:49:16 PMRaise your light level. When you get to 1810 they are much easier to finish
-
Yup buffed by 0.1% only good luck getting your exotic if rng allows it.
-
They were buffed but only by 2% so not enough to see any difference.Rng in this game can mean doing many more than the so called 1 in 4 chance of getting an exotic.
-
1 ReplyI did strike playlist and got 2 exotic armor drops within a couple of hours. Wasn't looking for exotics and rolls were crap but at least you can have an easier time doing them.
-
Drops weren’t buff, the difficulty was. Bungie knew what the problem was and that was their solution
-
Took me 14 runs to get the new warlock boots the other day. It's never taken me that long to get an exotic drop, ever. The "buff" is a complete joke.
-
3 RepliesThat really sucks. I got lucky and got two in one run. An unstoppable champ dropped an exotic and I got one from the chest. The last 3 days I've done the legendary lost sectors on the EDZ for anywhere from an hour to two hours usually after work and I've gotten a decent amount of exotics. Although the stats haven't been all that great. I got the new hunter exotic helmet for Strand and it dropped at 59. After that 2 blight rangers that were 62, 64 and bad distribution. But RNG is funked...so...
-
It seems like whenever it’s gauntlets the drops are stingy af

Edited by Sen: 4/9/2023 4:49:43 AMSo on top of hoping that it's the right piece of armor, I also have to hope it's a good roll? This is just an example of Bungie being out of touch. They need to bump up the chance of an exotic up by a lot. And I mean A LOT. Having three RNG factors to the lost sectors is absolutely insane: -Hope you get an exotic -Hope it's the right one -Hope it has a good roll. Seriously? I'm so glad. So very glad that they added effective caps to things. I would still be grinding away at bounties for Master raid challenges. I feel like I can actually breathe. I don't want to blame Bungie at that part, it's completely my bad that I've been so addicted to grinding levels. But now that I'm playing other games and helping out people with their first clears and raids within my friend groups and stuff, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

It was a 0.0000001% buff. Stop complaining...
