20+ total runs of yesterdays lost sector across Titan & Warlock and not a single exotic dropped.
Edit: what I’m meaning by this post is I feel like after so many consistent runs you should be guaranteed (or maybe not guaranteed but an increase in drop rate) for an exotic as if Bad luck protection.

1 ReplyNah, the drop rate was tested and came up around 25% after some insane person ran like, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxC3KjDvESU]1600 lost sectors[/url] The issue is the lack of bad luck protection. Each run is a 25% chance to get an exotic, and it doesn't accumulate or have a guaranteed run count. You could get an exotic back to back, you could get shafted for 18 runs in a row. While the former is fantastic, the latter is abysmal, and there's all the potential results in between. It's similar for Pinnacle drops. You could get the gear slot you need, but it's practically a 1/8 chance roll of the dice on every Pinnacle completion which sucks the MOST because those are limited per week.

2 RepliesJust don’t run them. They’re an utter waste of time. Unless you have all day every day to run them, the drop rate is not meant for you.

8 Repliesyou just have bad rng, 25% is not a bad drop rate for a 3 min activity

This is what I was saying in my post last night. Why is the drop rate so low just to unlock the exotic? There's no surprise factor, since you know this is how you get it. There is no feeling of accomplishment, since if you can do it 100% of the time without ever running out of revives, you know it'll just be a matter of time. The only thing this RNG does is increase playtime and burnout. It feels like a waste of time to spend 30+ minutes of work and walk away with [i]only[/i] just 2 or 3 ehancement shards and a handful of glimmer and legendary shards.

[quote]Why is drop rate for legend lost sectors so atrocious?[/quote] Because the hamster wheel is the cornerstone of this game.

Master drop rate is equally bad IMO just with a common descriptor and higher difficulty. Easier to just do 2 legend runs and ignore master exists.

It's been throttled alot since the beginning of the season. They have definitely done something about it. Unless you are not going to a.new exotic 8 personally think its pointless
