Is Three of Coins simply a placebo? (Bungie Official Tweet)
Without Bungie providing the percentage increase of chance for an exotic to drop, how do we know if ToC does anything at all?
We can’t rely on Bungie’s veracity here either. Think, first they throttled experience gain without telling us but allowed us to buy fire team medallions that would have been pointless if you were being throttled. Then they “fixed” the issue of throttling xp gain but then DOUBLED the amount of xp needed to level up without telling a soul.
Based on that track record, what’s keeping them from releasing ToC as a placebo for us to burn through the thousands of shards we have? How does one prove that random drops have increased when said drops are RANDOM?!?
[b]UPDATE:[/b] So after reading many of your comments it seems as if ToC is in fact BUGGED and REDUCES your chance of gaining exotics when activated. My recommendation is to avoid using ToC at all costs if you value getting exotic drops.
Bungie is now on Christmas break so it’s doubtful we will hear anything on this issue nor will it be resolved any time soon.
Here is a link to Kackis speaking on the issue as well: https://youtu.be/m7efJD5jImE
[b]UPDATE 2:[/b] Bungie is officially looking into the ToC matter: https://twitter.com/DeeJ_BNG/status/942446254260236288?s=17

And baiters gon bait All seriousness- i was a ardent Destiny fan- it monopolized my Xbox, but with how the quality of content and the overall game mechanics have regressed..it just isn’t the same game that I came to love in 2014 and on
-
Only bought two, luckily. Ran Heroic Strikes and did some PEs for four hours and didn't get a single exotic engram while I had a 3oC active.

1 ReplyThis is ridiculous! Every single time Bungie puts out something new, there is something that "isn't working as intended". I get it, they have to find a way to get people playing since launch to spend those thousands of legendary shards that they've been stockpiling. But when you can't even recycle your old content properly from D1 that you inexplicably took out of the game, you're losing more and more players. I am so sick to death of "we're looking at the data and we agree that "___fill in the blank___ " isn't working as intended. I dropped way too much money in D1 tying to obtain the ghost ghost in the Festival of the Lost, only to get a pitiful "we agree the drop rates weren't working as intended". Did I get a refund? NO. Did I get any sort of compensation for the time and money wasted? NO. This is exactly what is happening again but on a game wide scale. Bungie, we are not your QA department, testing your broken RNG systems with our real money (or fake currencies ie: legendary shards". To borrow an idea that SkillUp presented in his video of why he's done with the game as a whole, "If a restaurant serves you a subpar meal, they make it right by giving you a new meal and maybe even a free dessert. They don't give you the exact same meal that was bad and charge you again for it".
-
Oh look, bungie introducing something that already existed and call it “new content”.
-
This begs the question of who is in charge of testing and QC, and why are all these problems, which are huge and obvious, MAKING IT TO THE PUBLIC, for them to react and say “Oh, there’s a problem? We’re looking into it...”
-
Most likely Just like the green bars at the end of d1. They just turned them all green and said they fixed the lag. 3 of coins is just an item that does nothing.
-
60 hours in and 4500 shards down still no exotic... just tokens and blues....
-
It’s not bugged it’s another Bungie pacification wrapped in a lie
-
Seriously how do they -blam!- this up? I mean come on, professional game development team can’t even get this right??
-
I haven't used them enough to say for sure but I've gotten a skull of dire ahamkara to drop by itself from a boss kill with ToC active
-
Yes. Yes it is.
-
2 RepliesThe funny thing is that no one really complained that exotics were too infrequent. People complained that exotics were impotent and boring. I have no idea why they thought we needed more exotics. Exotics used to be game changing--that's what people want.
-
1 ReplyBungie should probably focus more on fixing stuff than working so hard on eververse. Seriously. I don’t give a shit about the dawning.
-
3 RepliesIf they are anything like d1 toc, they only work some of time and have a ten minute cool down before you can use another one.
-
Working as intended. Lol
-
Me and a friend popped a ToC, we counted 30 strikes and had 1 exotic drop each
-
9 RepliesYes. Got an exotic last night, before I popped a coin. After, played 4 hours and nothing. Barely got any purps too. Just save shards and use them on fated engrams. That's the best method, in my opinion.
-
All I know is that 3oC aren't completely broken. I've still been getting exotics with them active. It's possible that they don't really increase your chances of exotics. But there are a lot of people claiming that they stop you from getting exotics all together and that just isn't true.
-
1 ReplyHow do we know it does anything? We don't. The fact is, all Bungo needed to accomplish with 3oC was adding to Xur's inventory, and giving our Shards a use... both of these missions were accomplished.
-
I’m seeing an actual decrease in exotic and legendary drop rates as Bungie did that a few weeks ago but with 3oC I see zero increase in exotics dropping. Sad.
-
Yet another broken implementation. I'm really struggling here Bungie, you seem to be heading towards spontaneous combustion and do not seem to be able to stop the inevitable.
-
2 RepliesI swear to God, does anyone at Bungie actually play the game? How do they not know this??? This is a crap company run by fools!
-
2 RepliesRNG can be hell but honestly i dont think the 3oc are broken and ill tell you why it is December 18th and at around 8:00pm central time i was killing the mercury cabal yellow bars or conquerors and i had a 3oc going no fireteam medallion and upon killing the conqueror i received an exotic. I had already finished the flashpoint earlier this week so it wasnt from that. Im no happy with alot of the things and hate even defending bungie after the state of destiny 2 but at the very least 3oc are not broken for everyone.
