Let me be clear: I just spent 35 minutes completing the Taken version of the Valus Ta'Aurc strike in the heroic playlist with the playlist buff granting me a chance for better drops since that strike was my second strike, and the fact that I stacked 7 "three of coins" in order for a pretty good chance of getting an exotic engram to drop. But in the end, after spending 35 minutes I received NOTHING! -blam!-ING NOTHING! No engrams, no nothing. No other guardian should experience what I experienced today. I understand this game is RNG based, but really? We have a chance with two increase drop rate buffs to get nothing?
Side note: they nerfed the hell out of "three of coins." I have run 6 trials of stacking 7 "three of coins" and have only received 1 exotic arm engram. That means there is only a ~16 percent chance of getting an exotic engram stacking 7 "three of coins" (need n=30 to make the percent statistically significant, so as of right now 16 percent is a trend) which means I spent ~59 strange coins on one exotic engram. If Xur wasn't a -blam!- and sold an engram today I would have been able to purchase one for much less.
Final thoughts: NOBODY should experience what I experienced today with the longest strike in the game.

Edited by ACTION BASTURD: 9/25/2015 8:38:44 PMusing multiple three of coins at once doesn't give you higher drop rates unless you've already used one and didn't get an exotic. Actually with the new patch the faster you consume them the lower your chances get.
