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,

A 50% increase on the already like 5% drop rate give us a 2.5% increase that no one is actually seeing. This is broke. Watch so you tube and educate yourselves on what's really going on. I mean If you want I can link like 40 videos of people saying thy get zero drops in 4 hours. Spending hard earned shards on a 2% increase just to do more grinding isn't a good payoff. Rethink what you guys think is rewarding for a game that's already all grind no reward

I've been enjoying exotics pretty regularly dropping from unexpected sources since I've been using 3oC, working well for me. This post is even better though, the replies to the op are handy roster of ignorant and offensive people to add to my swollen mute list.

Wow! You guys really are being more transparent and helpful. Not that I personally thought you were not. But still for a game developer this is normally not the norm. I can think of only one other game company that does this. And they are in a similar venue. This is awesome.

Thank you for responding and looking into this. Most of us appreciate the communication, and would rather know than not know even if we dont always like the answer. Some are overly bombastic and spiteful, which is unfortunate and helps no one. But the silent majority is glad for the update. Do you know if the team looked specifically into 3oC stacking with the fireteam medallion? My own clans limited testing lead us to believe it worked on certain world activities (patrols, etc) when it was alone, but not when combined with the fireteam medallion. Perhaps even the order they are applied matters.

Wait a minute. This just says that 3oC doesn’t work better in heroic strikes than normal strikes. It otherwise says it working as expected and grants 50% greater chance of an exotic drop. This can’t be true considering that in 12 hours of using 3oC I got 1 (ONE) exotic engram. In 3 hours without I got 3 (about 1 per hour). If it raises the chance 50% I should have been getting about 1.5 per hour or 6 over the time 3oC was active. I know it’s RNG based but the numbers don’t correspond with the post. Even at a low rate I would expect 3-4 over the 4 hours 3oC was active.

This happened in D1 and was predicted would happen in D2 in the past week. You purposefully implement a system only to report back it’s not working as intended and will address it in future patches. Rinse and repeat. It’s such a predictable pattern of failure that it’s either complete incompetence or as is now apparent on purpose by design and working as intended. Whatever the case it’s interesting to follow whilst playing any other game than destiny. Bungie Destiny is my version of trash tv soap operas.

It would be nice if we knew what the % chances are of an Exotic engram dropping from each activity in the game. Because lots of us that have used the three of coins have seen 0 exotics dropping in a 4 hour period. So either you have nerfed the base chances for all the activities so the three of coins isn't as strong so people can buy more of them and spend their shards on, or the 50% buff isn't being applied correctly.
-
Then why did I play for 8 hours doing a variety of “world” activities strikes crucible public events and only got 1 exotic... 8 hours should give me at least 3-5 exotics or go back to being able to use one before each activity so we are not forced to play for 4 hours each time we use one.

The question is with dropping the drop of exotics in the game with the last patch then adding in the 3 of coins are these things leading to a net nothing? I don't care either way I purchased one used it got nothing and that is enough for me. Exotics are not worth a chase in the game any way but I do believe they must be having problems some place. Everyone remember the launch of the game when the slot machine was set to pay out every hour on the hour.......
