Bungie for the love of god increase the drop rates for these guns. Running the activities on expert to not earn a SINGLE shiny adept let along a SINGLE adept weapon at all is absolutely -blam!-. It makes you not even want to run expert because you get absolutely nothing out of it.
The weight gate RNG is already a headache.

They really should just get rid of the adept single perk drops. Adepts should only be shiny and if I get a full 13 boss run on expert it should drop a guaranteed adept. Currently it’s such a grind doing this and super unrewarding for time playing most of the adepts from CB are trash on sight put double perks would allow for some of those guns to be viable.

I haven’t even completed it on expert yet. But I think there’s some perks being weighted still. I want one of the sidearms that you can focus from banshee. I forgot the name. I’m trying to get a heal clip, incandescent roll. I had 6 gunsmith engrams. I used the first three and got an enlightened action/incandescent roll. I deleted it. Used another three and got ANOTHER enlightened action/incandescent roll.

People always want to flex shiny and or skins that mean nothing! Especially if it's even made easier to obtain. Rare or extremely rare is good no more handouts plz.

[spoiler]who greenlit this idea[/spoiler][/quote] Only ran expert once just to see how hard it would get overtime, got one adept auto but with single perks, then the other day i did CoB (sniper, linear, Dyad) on expert but final rounded the first boss for the easy complete to get the first catalyst for Dyad, then another for the second Dyad catalyst (threadlings) w/ the smg, glaive and sword, got a few adepts but not a single one with multiple perks, therefore imo they are not better than the normal shiny versions, these days the new mods (more range, more stability. More reload, more handling. Etc) have replaced these old pointless adept mods because getting a shiny adept from nether or CoB would be even rarer than just normal ones from chests etc, all adepts are is just a different paint job and even then the current adepts (nether/CoB, GM, etc) all have the ugly green/gold paintjob, thankfully guns like timelost VoG guns aren't affected by it afaik i think, same for Trials guns Anyways yeah not worth the headache, bungo wanted to take crafting away, they keep on doing this, it all started with Into The Light.. People shouldn't of told bungie they like the shiny versions of the guns, we are where we are now because all they understood out of it was that "community ok with no more crafting if guns can drop shiny rare with more perks" and ran with it. It's just like mementos, they're just glorified shaders that are limited to only crafted/enhanced guns, not armor nor other guns (yet.. We see that they can work on armor if you see them in the transmog screen) and they kept on making more and more of them all because the youtubers and streamers and etc all praised them during WQ was the new shiny dlc (afaik rn mementos are bugged? Pretty sure they changed them to drop from full clears rather than flawless no wipes to fix the Salvations Edge one that was bugged, as a bandaid fix.. But honestly they should just make them a master mode shader and STOP with these one time use consumable mementos, this is like the system we had in vanilla D2 but worse because mementos are only for crafted/enhanced guns) D2 has become too bloated with pointless stuff and gimmicks, anyone remember how responsive the UI etc was right after they yeeted out all the old dlc and code? I do, Season of Arrivals was the most stable and bug free D2 had been in a long time prior, but that changed back over time after with dlcs and seasons etc

6 RepliesQuick question! What makes these weapons “shiny”? I have the “shiny” weapons and they look exactly the same… I’ll take double perks and runith over, but they’re not shiny, so why are we calling them “shiny”?
-
I've run Master Court like 10 times and I haven't got ONE adept. Not even a shiny. How a non-shiny adept guaranteed on Master diff. completions of Nether and CoB is beyond me. Probably trying to milk playtime from players dry.
-
I’ve done expert nether every week on all 3 toons ever since it dropped. I’ve done expert courts of blades at least 3x on all 3 toons ever since it dropped. I didn’t get my first adept shiny until just now. That’s absolutely insane
-
15 RepliesAdepts drop at least every other chest which is plenty. Shinies are meant to be rare so no, they shouldn’t make that more common.

1 ReplyJust farm the normal versions you'll have a higher chance of getting the roll you want and save yourself stress.

6 RepliesWhat could you possibly be grinding for? Lol these weapons are all mid at best

Shiny! Shiny! Shiny! Hnnnnnnng!

Invest more into craftable weapons... making it towhere it is possible to get 2 perks in a column. Or even 3.... I want to play because i like the game. I dont want to play because i... uhhgg like to grind? I do that everyday at my real job.. please bungo...
-
Want it to increase?? Stop running it. Get everyone to stop. Bubgie only cares about metrics so as long as people are in it they see no problems. Dump the engagement metrics and you'll get your loot
-
I've done both experts a bunch of times and I'm yet to receive a single adept weapon. I lost interest in playing all together now because of how bad the loot system is and how poorly designed the throw-away activities are now. Old bosses and old mechanics, once again , yawn
-
4 RepliesI wouldn’t even bother at this point. I have about 12 drops between dupes and they all aren’t usable because of the perks on it. It’s just not worth the effort anymore. Once you get one to drop that’s how they get you, the excitement of getting it, then it’s not the one you want then you say to yourself “I got one to drop, I’ll keep going until I get another” and that’s how you get trapped, speaking from experience. It mind blowing 12 adepts resulted in no good rolls. The “best” was a moving target /sword logic smg. I’ve gotten better base versions of all episodic weapons that I’ve just gone ahead and masterwork’d them all nd moving on.

Bungie respons on this will be: Eververse dont have enough cosmetic.
-
Two weeks before frontier....my eyes hurt..there are so many shinies...Bungie please stop. It trivializes looter shooter gameplay loop.

Do you only do the upper end of endgame?
