The Raid exotic drop chance is one that I’m sure we’ve heard a lot of opinions on in the community. I’ll leave my opinion at the bottom, as that’s not really the point of my post. The point of my post is that this has been such a clear issue for the community for such a long time, and Bungie has been radio silent on the issue for YEARS. At least if Bungie came out and said concretely that “you need to do X every week to maximize your chances.” Or they’re going to take a look at exotic drop chances, or give us ANY kind of feedback regarding drop rates. The reason its infuriating is this is an issue that effects the most dedicated player base and it takes away from situations like now, where the new content is out, but people still have to keep going back to a raid they’ve mastered 10x over just for a fleeting chance to be done. Bungie, on behalf of the people in my boat, we simply want you to at least address the issue in a twab, or any other small piece of communication.
My personal example:
I’ve done 30 full looted clears (ALL from start to finish, no Rhulk CP joins) on VOTD. Since that comes out to 2.5 months of raiding on all 3 characters doing ALL of the encounters, and officially having every VOTD weapon crafted due to sheer looted encounters, Im just exhausted and bored of the raid. Starting today I did my first Rhulk cp join and that’s going to be my experience for an hour and some change each week, doing a chore with a very low percentage of it being worth it on 3 characters.
My quick opinion on the matter:
25th looted clear should guarantee the exotic. 24 clears is exactly 8 weeks (2 months) straight of raiding on 3 characters. The 25th should guarantee you get it, if you want better odds, we should find ways to make the triumphs increase it similar to Duality (BUT BUNGIE ACTUALLY GIVE US HARD NUMBERS SO WE KNOW IF ITS WORTH IT)

Should stay rare. Love the feeling of getting one after 20-30 runs
-
Oh yeah? There’s still a few rocks you can land on in VoG that will just kill you. For reasons.
-
D1 200 clears of VoG. Never got it, I never play a lot of raids anymore with the hope to get the exotic. Just the pinnacle
-
25 looted clear should not give you the exotic, 25 looted clear+flawles+raid title should give you the exotic
-
Idk about guaranteeing the drop but bungie definitely needs to define each raid exotics drop rates and how bad luck protection works for each. Idk how many full looted clears I have but I’ve killed atheon 92 times with 60+ runs being farmed during rotation week and I still don’t have the vex. I just want to know what kind of odds I’m working with at this point.

25th clear sounds reasonable.

4 Replies[quote]We get this question a lot. Checked with the team, Eyes of Tomorrow does have a cumulative drop chance-- meaning each week you beat Taniks on your account, the chance of you getting those sweet sweet homing rockets goes up (eventually all the way to 100% if you are super unlucky)[/quote]https://twitter.com/joegoroth/status/1357077939792142336

I mean I got touch on my second looted run last night. I've gotten all the exotics under tenish completions, save for collective obligation and anarchy. But I got anarchy on my 23 and have yet to get collective obligation, because I really don't use void, and don't really do the road in general.
