Item drops repeat way too often. 4 of 5 engrams are the same damn thing
I sure dont understand how the drop rates and randomness of those drops are figured but it seems to me that system is broken. Out of all the loot that is in the loot pool, how is it I keep getting 1 or 2 of the same items when turning in multiple engrams or completing raid encounters. I get the same crap over and over and over again. WHERES THE DIVERSITY IN LOOT DROPS?!!!!

I made a post about this, got no traction. Take my response as a bump. I have some video clips to back up your claim. Focused 6 Exodus Umbral engrams to try to get the Ikelos weapons. Got the grenade launcher 5 times https://youtu.be/rglV6nrsz88 Got more specific this time, narrowing down the pool to 2 items for the Ikelos sniper. Out of 5 engrams, got the shotgun 4 times https://youtu.be/lpJeCZ7Jnpc Tried for armor this time, 5 items in the loot pool, got the chest piece 3 out of 4 Umbrals https://youtu.be/VDQ_WhWXH0U 5 more umbrsls, focused for armor. 5 items in the loot pool, 3 chest pieces and 2 class items https://youtu.be/85TOM8bny78 That is 6 chest pieces from 9 Umbrals. Legacy focused Umbrals, 4 items in the loot pool, 5 engrams. Got the hand cannon twice and the grenade launcher 3 times https://youtu.be/_ch6V2Mzm-k Pyramid focused Umbrals, 6 items in the loot pool, 4 engrams, got the pulse 3 times in a row https://youtu.be/gi584G9hSUw

4 RepliesYou must be new Homie. If not, then you should already know this. Everything in this generation is "Fake!" And the hardcore no-lifers are loving it. Lol. Fake grind, Fake difficulty. Fake Power Levels, etc. Crybabies always say - "Waaaaah, not enough content!". . . Guess what Devs do, make artificial grind mechanics. Go do this in Mars for this. Or this strike for this. Go shoot this and get this amount. Lol. Crybabies say - "Waaaaah, I'm at max power on the first day because I played 24 hours straight. Now there is nothing left for me to do!" . . . Guess what Devs do, gives you the same loot on 10 powerful/pinnacle engrams. 10 boots with the same power level. Lol. Crybabies always say - "Waaaaah, this raid boss is too easy!!! Using my Radiance no reload powerful guns is too easy for me!". . . Guess what Devs do, nerfs everything they complain about. Crybabies always say - "Waaaaah, Everyone is using this gun in crucible, this exotic in raids, I'm not special anymore!" . . . Guess what Devs do, again with more nerfs. Lol. This game will go on, and on, and on . . . . . . and on, and on, and on, and on, and on . . . Game will go like this over an over and over and over and over . . . Again! We've been here 6 years. It's still going on like that. And will continue to do so for the next 3 more years. You can't change it. I did though. I quit. 2 weeks ago. I won't grind anymore. Nope. Not gonna ride the hamster wheel anymore. I've discovered the new thing called "Sunsetting" and I finally realized I will not be a rat anymore running this endless hamster wheel in perpetuity. Good bye Digital Slavery!

What I’m tired of is getting drops of things I already have, but have a lower LL. I always delete the items that are lower than what I already have (eventually I’ll be keeping dupes for different stats, but now, it’s all delete-delete-delete.) I don’t mind how many drops I get, but I do mind how often I get lower-level ones.

Ran the new dungeon with my friend, he got 3 death adders and i got 3 widows bite. I feel like itd be very simple to implement a system that prevents duplicates from dropping in a single raid or dungeon run. Imagine you go in thinking "this will help my power level" and leave with 3 of the same exact gun, all 3 the same exact level? Amateur mistakes bungie, you're better than this.

It's true, but it's a GOOD thing. I notice that the rewards of umbral engrams persists repeating for a few seconds. So I turn one, if it's not what I want I'll wait for a moment, if it IS what I want, I turn them all very fast. Been working this way every-single-f-time!

The RNG system isn't completely RNG I think. Like it has certain items in the pool for a couple seconds and then switches to other ones. Try opening your engrams slower.

Bungie don’t care The problem I have is that once I get a pinnacle drop at max power I am likely to get many more pinnacles in the same slot like 5 helmets in a row or 5 kinetics in a row and it’s frustrating and it kills my desire to continue playing the game. I do NOT want to play pvp, I don’t want to do the nightmares, I do not want to go and be forced a loadout to run Ordeal and I HATE gambit. I love to raid and try new content. Warning: Completing the raid “Garden of Salvation” does have pinnacle drops the first clear after reset, but don’t get your hopes up, since the only thing to drop here are energy weapons and nothing else. So it’s worthless and frustrating to rely on this activity for pinnacle gear worth using. So now I’ve been pushed away from doing the one activity I consider my favorite in the game. Thanks!!! This season the only thing worth doing is the New dungeon. To do the dungeon, players have to level up their power. This is the problem. Funneling players into undesired activities just so they can artificially inflate engagement hours is a disgusting business practice that Bungie loves to implement to keep players on the hamster wheel. It is beyond repugnant and is very repulsive to the community they claim to care for. Unless Bungie fixes the rng and prevents drops from repeating until all other drops have been awarded I.e each armor piece and each weapon slot before repeating the item, then I personally will continue to not enjoy the game in its current [b][i]Frustrating[/i][/b]form and I will not buy the next expansion even after release.

Doing IB bounties on my last character. I have all 3 weapon slots at 1060, my highest armor on that character is 1057. All 4 engrams turned into kinetic weapons...
-
i focused 4 umbra engrams to get either guillotine or cold denial, hoping to get a decent roll guillotine for my warlock. 50/50 shot when opening theoretically. all 4 were cold denials. lol

1 ReplyThe pinnacles drop is rigged, nothing RNG at all.
-
I wouldn't mind having this system if I could trade my buddy for the slots I need and give him what he needs. Otherwise I think the system is bull. Feels like they say "Oh you went from 1052 to 1054 this week? Okay we will hinder your progress by giving you duplicates until next week :)"

2 RepliesYou can thank the conniving walrus known as luke smith for that.

A dozen IB engrams were the scout rifles for me. I’m legit thinking it’s an error. 12 of the same scout rifles out of 14 engrams? Doesn’t make sense
-
Remember when they said they were going to fix that like 3 years ago? And your still playing.

1 ReplyMy idea is this: after completing activities for a pinnacle reward you given a pinnacle Engram instead of random loot. With this Engram you can decode it for a random reward or focus it much like Umbral engrams. Only instead of making up yet another currency, you use a large lump sum of planetary materials depending on the the focus you want. It’s simple, it drives you to grind because you know you won’t be disappointed, and it uses up materials that really don’t have enough use to warrant keeping in the game.

1 ReplyI don't know bout you but I love getting swarm of the raven 12 times in one day 💜

1 ReplyIt's intentionally designed that way, to keep us grinding for gear. They did try a quest awhile back. Each step completed gave you a specific piece of armor. I really liked this, but many complained about it. So we're back to this random crap.

1 ReplyEven the focussed umbrals. 4 used hoping for a cold denial.....4 guillotines

1 ReplyYep started this week 1055 Have run 100k Nightafall x3 Strikes x3 Gambit x3 Hawthorne x3 PvP pinnacle x2 9 Iron Banner Bounties I am now 1055 out of all that I got 1 drop that was on a place that was higher, in my lowest character. For two of my characters I just it was a 50/50 or better for any drop to get me to 1056 of course this would have raised my other drops helping my other characters but primary heavy and boot every drop. Worked the odds of on one character were 1 in 512. Of course I know this is how the game always works though before in D1 and in D2 before this pinnacle system it wasn’t so bad That knowledge didn’t stop me rage quitting when I got my IB fourth heavy (weapons I already ground for 18 months ago) on the spin (odds of which are ridiculous) and downloading the Warframe update and dealing with actual random drops over this Skinner box mercenary losing streak gambling psychology bullshit.

3 Repliesmy last 5 or 6 pinnacles, all energy weapons. AGAIN!. this happened last week someone in my clan had 11 pinnacles as primary weapons this is not RNG, this is forced drops to make us keep playing. Well, i wont be doing strikes, gambit or crucible anymore for a reward which is 99% guaranteed to drop me an energy weapon
-
6 RepliesDrop duplication is easily avoidable. Simply dont play the game and you will no longer get duplicate drops at all.
-
Well at least with sunsetting you’ll be chasing your whole inventory and safe again.
-
I agree too much same drops. I got 5 pinnacle helmets this week. Turned in 1000 iron banner tokens and got 0 forward path but like 10 scouts and 8 rocket launchers.
-
I've completed 10 pinnacles over two characters and zero progress. Bungie do this intentionally to slow us down and make us play more. I literally stopped playing after the tenth drop that was worthless because what's the point?? Bungie please explain to me why I should be motivated to continue playing when it's this bad? Seriously someone anyone explain it to me because I can't see why I would.
