Too many armor drops in dungeons
Just ran vespers host and got six armor drops in a row. Makes me never wanna run a dungeon ever again! Plz lower the armor drops in non master dungeons. It’s awful and a complete waste of my time.

Because it's the best way to keep people playing, there are more guns than armor in D1 and D2.

In my view, this started when Update 8.1.0.4 dropped. I used to get a lot of weapon drops and few armor drops from Vesper’s. Now, my drops are the opposite. Especially noticeable in encounter 2.

2 RepliesArmor should drop ALONG weapons not instead of.

Vespers Host has a weapon or armor focus on the second secret chest. However on video said it’s best to not use it till you get catalyst stuff done as it could cause issues. Look it up as it’s based on the numbers in the item description 3-4 digits long.

I need the money for shards and upgrades.

I literally stopped doing duality because 3 times in a row I got armor drops Not only that, I had no dungeon exotic to show for it either.

Each chest should drop 1 armor and 1 weapon -
The dungeon reward system has been awful since the beginning.

Has been a hot topic ever since the very first dungeon launched. Its an intentional system to waste players time and to make them come back as often as possible. They know that armor is a waste ever since transmog came out. They intentionally kept the high armor drop rates to keep wasting players time. They do not want you to be done with your grind in a time respecting manor. They want to squeeze out the most player engagement they can. Thats why exo drop rates form raids and dungeones are terrible and also why they are stepping away from crafting. Player numbers and money. Thats their metrics to show to their investors. So stop wasting your time grinding dungeons. Just craft some older weapons and respect your own time. Play stuff you want to. Not some artifically stretched boring grind that pushes their metrics.

1 ReplyEvery time I think about farming Vespers for the launcher, I remember it'll just be armour drops and don't bother.

I’ve been complaining about this for a year. The Prophecy dungeon has TWO sets of armor, and its drop rate is weighted 80%. It’s ridiculous, absolutely. This issue persists in the other dungeons, too. Does not feel rewarding at all.

Edited by rednayeL: 11/14/2024 4:18:43 PMA complete waste of time? That’s a win for Bungie it seems, they love wasting our time. Like that time last week I got 3 helmet pinnacles in a row. Have not played since. Bungie must be happy.

1 ReplyIt's on purpose. Just one more method of hosing their players to inflate their numbers.

Dungeons are great, but too much armor drops really make me not wanting to play them.

4 RepliesI hope you’re ready to farm it next week when there is double drops

100% too much armour in general. Since transmog was introduced, there's no longer the need to farm for fashion. And focusing seasonal engrams at the war table etc. can easily net you a very nice stat set for your build. It seems like 80% of my rewards are low stat ugly armour and it feels bad to run a dungeon or raid and get one weapon to drop. At least D1 vendors gave you the option for Weapon, Armour, or Chroma Armour.
-
Too many armor drops everywhere.
-
It’s just RN …. Man I can’t even say it as a joke anymore
-
1 ReplyThis is why I don't do dungeons anymore.

A great qol change would be only weapon drops on normal and armor on master for artifice drops imo, or an armor lockout on normal after you've gotten all the pieces?
-
2 RepliesWouldn't be as bad if the armour drops had at minimum 60 base stat drops. A 50 drop is just useless unless your new to the game
-
i like the armor drops
-
Yeah, you just got unlucky is all. Back in the day, I use to have entire raids where I essentially only ever got Armor Drops. It was annoying, but what can ya do about it. It’s why Master Raids like Vog were so good. They had focused drops on a specific weapon, ensuring you got 1 per completion. Made it great.

Edited by Ray: 11/14/2024 7:33:31 PMJust put in the code to get whatever weapon you want You can also just farm each encounter. You’ll get a weapon eventually
