Yeah, that's what I meant. Like, maybe one version has a low impact and another might have high
WE'VE WOKEN THE HIVE
My entire point of playing this game is to get an exotic handcannon.
Then I will kill all the things.

I had to buy most of mine. I got a pair of boots twice now, but had to buy a helmet and chest piece. Legendary weapon though? Not a chance, stuck with this strangers rifle forever it would seem. It's gonna feel like saying goodbye to an old friend once something better finally drops.
Wait, you mean the moon strike? You have to keep that thing alive? Seriously.....that boss has a boss? Well I'll be damned.

Yep, exactly. My AR has better range than the same one being sold by the Crucible vendor, so I'll never ever get rid of it.

Anyone want to do some strikes? I've only done the earth one with randoms and that was a bit chaotic

WE'VE AWOKEN THE AWOKEN!
I mean, I *have* an Exotic and a Legendary but I had to earn them. Not get them through Blind Luck ;-)

at this point, I really dont know what to do anymore besides farm venus for hours on end(which I already have been). I have everything legendary and exotic, besides my special weapon which is rare. I have maxed out crucible and vanguard for the week(I think it resets tomorrow?).

Every single legendary drop I've gotten has turned into a rare. This shit is so infuriating.
Yes resets tomorrow,

This thread is seriously unreadable. It's just people complaining about bad luck with drops and engrams. I know there are already 6,000 Destiny threads, but we need one to actually discuss the game, not RNG.

thats part of the game though, a huge part, a huge bullshit part

My first legendary was a blue engrem that upgraded to legendary leggings
Then got a legendary engrem that downgraded to a rare chest
For legendary vanguard cape from Vanguard. Legendary chest from Vanguard. 95 marks total.

nerf bladedancer. Now.
Why.
you don't understand
if i can't be a level 30 gawd in a week then this game cannot be worth 60 bucks. what the fuck is a fun anyways?
edit: nerf everything that has ever killed me
Shitty rng is the game after you get to level 20
Rng and weapon drops are part of the game.

Did they patch out nexus farming? Did it earlier today and the drops were not nearly as frequent as some of the videos I've seen.
I really love how I keep getting disconnected from Crucible matches with no error code (just says you have been removed the game world) as I'm up way too late fucking myself at work tomorrow as I'm trying desperately to hit the mark cap before the weekly reset occurs since I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like. I'm not even halfway to the Vanguard mark cap either. It also doesn't help that over the last day I've been disconnected from about 10 Crucible matches, most of them towards the very end, and I get no credit for any of it (at least mark/rep wise). I hate myself for doing this, but I also know that in a week or two I'm going to be short on marks that I need to get a piece of gear I need for a level up and I'm going to be super annoyed.
I think people would probably be less angsty about not getting legs/exotics if you didn't NEED them to see new in-game content, which the game is already solely lacking as-is. In a lot of games you can see all of the content, your gear would just determine the difficulty. For example in Diablo 3 you can see the entirety of the game at any level including the side stuff like Rifts and Greater Rfits, your gear (and to a lesser extent level) dictate what difficulty you can do it on. Destiny directly ties your level to gear, and your level dictates the content you can do. If you could do the Raid at level 20 and you just needed better gear to do higher difficulties of it for potential higher rewards that would be fine and I would feel no pressure on getting legendaries/exotics ASAP. But because there's this hard gear requirement AND they've got rolling weekly caps, and daily and weekly content I feel like I'm just going to wind up burning myself out really quickly here. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of middle ground, there's a pretty relatively small group who has the endgame gear needed for the Raid and the level 28 weekly, but then most people are still in the 20-24 range who are just hitting a wall trying to progress. I'm not sure that I agree with the levels being tied to gear post 20 was a fantastic idea.

Once you reach endgame, RNG is the last thing left.
Great. Thanks.
Ha, that's why I was asking. I haven't seen one either.
If you want to torture yourself, sure. Some of you are acting like there isn't vendors that literally sell you legendaries.

Damn, my two characters won't be maxed out until Destiny 2. I can live with that
That's your problem, you're not a warlock.
one of my students has had the same experience with his titan. He's had three purple drops and they're all for warlocks.I'd like to add that this works like a charm.
and auto rifles.

Bladedancer doesn't need to be lessened in its power.
You just can't handle all that #frabjous.
And weekend dude who sells exotics. I'll probably have enough motes of light to get an exotic engram next weekend.
