EP Drop Rates Are Abysmal
Nobody wants to grind an activity, as fun as it may be, which takes so much damn effort and time to assemble a group and find a suitable server for, just to get nothing. I’v beaten it prolly 20 times now and not a single gun ever. I played with a guy who’s on his 74th run, no guns. A guy on his 92nd!? No guns. The flip side of that coin is a little kid in our group got his Second shotgun, in under ten completions ever, meanwhile guys have been grinding it day and night all for naught.
This is NOT fun or cool. Period.
First fix- make it a guaranteed drop after a certain number of clears. Or at the very least increase the chance much much higher (on top of what they claim they’ve already done which is bs, still haven’t seen anyone get a damn thing lately), after each completion.
Give us 6 man fireteams dammit. This is total horse crap. Having to try and find a server with people already there, or worse still, find one then send them a message to ask if your friend can join him to give you guys two fireteams etc. Just awful
All in all. It’s a really great opportunity to have a memorable game mode be a staple gameplay experience but even then, they’ve somehow still found a way to eff that up, such a shame.

The drop rates should be buffed a bit but it's a fun grind imo. Ep with five or six people is the most fun thing in the game for me currently. Orbs being pooped all over, supers for days, booping and melting point, huge hive enemies getting wrecked, love it. I have all three guns but I go to Mars everyday just to play it. Super looking forward to the Well in Forsaken.
-
I got lucky. 22 completions and all 4 weapons done.
-
B a d R N G I have 3 SMGs, 2 shotguns, and 1 sniper. Done it in 55 clears pre-patch.
-
people need to stop mixing up drop rate with their personal RNG rate. clearly the drop rate is fine, your RNG sucks. we've all been there. deal with it.
-
But I have them all....
-
4 Respostasthe certain number of clears you ask for is that full completions or just boss farming? need clarification before it can be implemented.
-
Someone on my list who hadn’t played since before CoO came back 2 weeks ago, got legendary solstice set and then went into ep and in 17 boss kills msg me saying he had the smg, shotty and sniper lol.
-
I got my SMG on the 4 completion lol
-
4 RespostasWhat is the fun in everything being handed to you on first completion?
-
Honestly I’m fine with the drop rates considering all 3 of those weapons are among the best weapons in the game, hell I could even argue the shottie is the best weapon in the game. What I would love to have them change is the matchmaking, they said it’s supposed to be a 3 man activity but doing it with a full squad of 9 is so much more fun.
-
No hand outs. Sorry
-
2 RespostasI am blessed by rng 1 run ever i got a warlock bond 2 run i got the submachinegun 3 run i got the Shotgun
-
The guns are among the best in the game.. so if you want them, you gotta grind for them.
-
38 clears netted me all guns and full sets of armour for two characters. Can’t be bothered completing the set for my third. EP is too much hassle assembling a 9 stack so using LFG to join groups already setup was better but I was playing with randos. Should be an in game que you can join and once it hits 9 players the entire squad is flown to Mars and start the event. While in the que you can inspect all of the other players and if you see that they’re all under-levelled scrubs you can leave and que a different group. When the scrubs realize they’re not going to get carried because nobody will join their que then they’ll put in the time to get their characters higher lvl so they can actually contribute to completing the activity.

3 RespostasEditado por GhostWhoWalks82: 8/16/2018 2:52:37 AMI thought they'd changed the drop rate to where you're guaranteed one after like 10 clears. Obviously not... And while God-tier players can finish EP with only 3 players, I don't see how Bungie can say with a straight face it was designed for 3 average to pretty good players. ETA: usually you can tell when someone is farming EP for weapon/armor kills and o leave them alone. But it seriously bummed me out to come across what looked to be 4 players giving it a go (Orpheus tethers, orbs for days)...I change from Solstice blue to regular armor and charge in...run and close the shadowrift...and realize I'm now alone in the zone. To save the censor the trouble, "BLAM." Maybe people are waiting till it's only dropping the shotgun to farm. Last Saturday I was checking lfg and just came across one or two solo players looking for existing groups to join, no one looking to put together a group.

7 RespostasEditado por Dani3009: 8/16/2018 4:12:48 PMIt was designed for 3 people If you want to exploid it you have to suffer The drop rate is 5% The weapons were designed to be very strong, very rare, and only obtainable for the top players (like the Redrix Claymore) They already nerfed the difficulty and your chance increases every time you dont get a weapon So stop complaining and earn it
-
Drop rate is bad, but that's partly what keeps people coming back. Getting everything in 4 to 5 runs would be lame imo.
-
3 RespostasI'll take EP drop rates all day long over strike or crucible catalysts.
-
3 RespostasHad to do it 47 times to get all three guns. It was stressful af for me but if you keep playing the guns will drop 1 by 1. Be patient
-
1 ResponderYou want to know whats also abysmal? Crucible catalysts for weapons. I have NEVER seen one drop for ANYONE. I have resetted my Valor twice and half way through another, went on 5 game win streaks with randoms "not easy". Not one Crucible cat has ever dropped for me. I gave up. As far as EP drop rates, it took me 41 clears - FORTY ONE!!!! To finally get my first weapon, it was the SMG. On my 57th clear the Shotgun dropped and on my 62nd clear I got the Sniper. Yes the drop rates are terrible.

Editado por Nox Lumina: 8/16/2018 3:29:22 PMYou get one thing. - Better drops - Easy to organize or set up Not both. The most painful thing about EP is the setup and if it were easier to do, it would be easier to get a consistent streak going and that way you'll get your stuff sooner rather than later. Or we keep the godawful patrol setup hassle and make it drop after 15 kills.
-
It is rng based and with rng there is the possibility for bad luck. EP is already easy to do, and you get guaranteed armor each week and a chance at some very good weapons. I think it's fine as it is.
-
Just bad RNG for you, try praying or somethin'. Between me and my clanmates the four of us. Did EP in early warmind in my 14-19 runs nothing then got 2 back to back shotguns, then the next week or so ended up with 2 smgs. My pal also got in 20-26 runs his shotgun and sniper. My other friend also had the ep shotty and sniper as well with the same amount of clears of about 20 or so.. We did farming earlier this week. In 5 or so boss farms literally 2 days ago i got my missing sniper, my buddy got his smg, another clanmate got the SG, and the others with us at least 3 of them all received a shotgun or one of the weapons. Maybe fix your in game karma, sherpa something help out with some IB. Then get back at it.
-
24 RespostasI was talking about this week 2 of Warmind. I was assured that soon it would be so easy that no one would worry about it you could just run it a million times.
-
EP are most fun thing to do but find player are painfully I think bungie should cut empty server or server browsers
-
True as it may be think of how sweet it'll be to get that first weapon. That my friend is the 'grind'
