I’ve been playing almost everyday since the launch of Forsaken and gotten a total of 4 exotics and i’m far beyond the time that a casual player spends on this game. Three of these exotics has been Y1 dublicates btw (after the patch where they ”fixed” this issue)......
I know Bungie wanted them to be more rare than prior to Forsaken exotics was but I think they’ve overdone it a bit since they barely drop anymore. And don’t get me wrong, I love the grind there is to it but it has come to a point where the drop rates are too low unfortunately. A good step in the right direction could be as simple as increasing drop rates by 20-40%.
If you agree, please vote this post up so that Bungie might see it, thanks.
My buddy has texted me every time he has gotten an exotic tonight. He has texted me 6 times so far. 4 of them have been year 2. He has in ~4 hours and still counting of playtime had more exotic drops than I had from forsaken being released to the Halloween update at the end of October. I had a total of 5 exotics after +or- 4 hours of playing a night from forsaken dropping to the update that buffed the drop rate. I have had one exotic drop since the update which was two tailed fox, but I have slowed down how much I’ve played destiny since the start of November because of grad school and the fact bf5 came out. In addition my buddy had 4 forsaken exotics before he started playing tonight.
So in review I’ve had 6 exotic drops since 9/4 with 1 being a year 2.
My friend has had a minimum 10 exotics drops (he didn’t track the exact number) with 8 of those being year 2, and four of them being obtained in one night!
Tell me RNG isn’t bull crap.
