That is not the response I was expecting, but it's a good one.

Nami, we did seven legit matches that first day, right?

Yep

 

[Midshipman]

For fucks sake. GG all those who Touch of Maliced.

Anyone want to 'play' 7 games real quick?

 

[everyday math]

Yep

I just noticed your avatar. 😅

 

[JohnOfMars]

Yay 320 ghosts!

Anyone up for a Mercury attempt for a guy who just got his first flawless?

 

[WipedOut]

Guess I need to go finish two more matches on Xbox now

 

[Trakan]

We took a look at the data, and the number of Ghosts awarded has not been what we expected.

We created the drop rates and even we don't understand them!

Good on them! Shows that they are listening AND can react! Thank you Bungie.

 

[everyday math]

Anyone wanna help me get 7?

 

[Namikaze1]

Pink, we did more than 7 matches. We completed the bounty where you need 25 points (3 for winning and 1 for completing matches). We only won two matches so it took us a while to complete that bounty. But yeah, we did more than 7 legit matches.

 

[igordennis]

Sure.

You had to actually compete though - no suicide pacts!

What does this mean?

I legit, no snark, wish I could see how this game is coded. How the fuck are drop rates something that they can be caught off guard by, isn't it just a drop weight they assign? What the fuck

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Welp, guess I'll do a little CD after all. Maybe tomorrow if anyone's around. A little frustrating that they're so often surprised by their own game, but more importantly a promising sign of goodwill and (hopefully) an indicator of responsive and generous adjustments in the future.

a guy who just got his first flawless?

What does this mean?

As per usual, nobody but Bungie knows for sure how they're tracking it. A safe bet is that if you get at least 1 kill in a game that probably qualifies it as non-suicidal. Purely speculation though.

We only won two? Ugh, sorry for sucking so much that day!

 

[everyday math]

What does this mean?

Meaning 7 games with you at least killing something. I'm assuming they can tell by the stats or something.

 

[JohnOfMars]

This better: a guy who *Earned* his first flawless?

Your carry with Rubenov is one of my favorite Destiny memories. Don't think I've forgotten it.

 

[Dthomp]

Pretty cool about the ghost, got a 315 the other day so 320 will be a nice little upgrade. Hopefully not another poop one. May have to do some more suicides though just for the coins/motes/engrams though since the matches go so quick

 

[Raven117]

I'm not going to participate in protest. Bungie, you can't keep screwing up like this.

 

[Twilight Gap]

[psylah]

Looking for 2 for the last leg of the Exotic Sword quest. Solar sword.

Anyone interested? 300+ preferred.

PSN: psyarchetype

 

[everyday math]

Would still be impressive if a dog made this game.

Would still be impressive if a dog made this game.

There's a reason why 99% of the game involves chasing after new toys and burying most of them in a vault.

 

[Darryl M R]

Bungie cannot control their drop percentage. This is pretty sad. Cool a free ghost for everyone but come on Bungie. Also it doesn't really matter since we all will probably get raised to 340 light come Spring

 

[Namikaze1]

I now praise to Lord Ice Breaker and Doctrine

I just noticed your avatar. 😅

[Shiv47]

So I've seen what Icebreaker translates to in ammo when you switch over, how does Invective compare? I never had an Icebreaker, so that fix doesn't work for me.

 

[Frenden]

A) I'm glad they're doing something.

B) Not knowing the drop rate before releasing the content is amazingly stupid.

C) This is nothing new. Iron Banner drop rates are just as hostile to the player. This is getting fixed because news outlets were reporting about the suiciding and the low drop rates. It saves face for Bungie as much as it helps the player.

D) I'm still glad they're doing something.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Where do you guys see a fix? They're just giving you free loots after the fact.

 

[Teasing_Pink]

So I've seen what Icebreaker translates to in ammo when you switch over, how does Invective compare? I never had an Icebreaker, so that fix doesn't work for me.

Invective takes far too long to get the four bullets per tick. The timer seems to reset every round, so in fast rounds, you may not get anything.

Better off using a sidearm if you don't have an icebreaker.

Mind blown...

 

[Frenden]

They didn't fix anything. Drop rates are low across all game modes in y2. This is as much a PR move as it is a gesture to frustrated players. Call me cynical. Shrug.

Huh. I guess I'll level up one of my sidearms then.

Looks like I'll be asking for a partner tomorrow.

 

[Namikaze1]

So not sure if the guy Igor, ape, and I faced earlier was really from ign. The PSN id seemed to be his real name and clan tag + name was IGN.

 

[EL CUCO]

I did all my bounties and quest legit on all 3 characters. I better get 3 - 320 Ghosts...

 

[Kyoufu]

I bet they look for 7 games on a per account basis.

I need credible sources.

It's per account, not character, so it's just gonna be 1 ghost.

Of course i played 5 of those 7 games Kappa

Anyone want to help this poor soul try and get his first flawless on PS4?

Just farmed for Malok, not a one dropped. Not surprised.

[Trakan]

Let's see if they'll admit they don't understand the IB drop rates this time.

 

[Frenden]

^ Never.

 

[deadduck]

Nice straight forward flawless, no red bars at all either. Great connections all night.

Started Mida/sidearm, forgot to change up for sniper and then realised after a very quick sidearm double down that they are badass good.

 

[everyday math]

I'm so bad at pvp now. ._.

 

[Namikaze1]

Lol

Guy lag switches at the end after tying a previous 4-4 round. Lagswitch couldn't save him in the end from Shock City.
