You guys clearly stated that if one had an exotic, "we put together an algorithm" (wow, how complicated is it to scan one's inventory prior decoding an exotic engram?!?) so one should not get it again from an exotic engram.
Well, I already got the Zhalo 4 times, the Claws of Ahamkara 4 times, the 4th horseman 3 times (maybe 4 actually, can't remember), and I got roughly 50% of my other year 2 exotics twice.
The worst irony, after a gazillion strikes yesterday night (i.e. the nerf to 3 of coins is not working as you said either / drop rates are now much lower with strikes), I got the heart of the praxic fire even though I was wearing it during all those strike - maxed out for a long time now mind you - and while Xur is selling it.
Do what you say or please stop lying to us. This is sickening when I trusted you guys and spent so much time (and three of coins) on strikes for such results...

The only exotics designed to lean heavily towards ones you don't have are the legacy engrams from Xur. That said it appears the algorithm only works at time of purchase and not when you go to decode, resulting in multiples of the one you were missing, which should be fixed. Any engram dropped in game (year 2 exotics) will not have the algorithm applied to it.

Meanwhile, I've got jade rabbit 4 times and Supercell 0.. That's the only one I want
-
They are not the same. The way the new system works is you get the same exotics but it has different skills like one may come with intelligence and strength. Another may be strength and discipline
-
You only get what you don't need Like most Bungie stuff no testing was done and they broke it once you get 1 item you continue to get it 5 suros 6 tachinauts 6 stags
-
I got the same exotic twice in a row by deciding legendary engrams.
-
I keep getting legendary and exotic head engrams, like all the time, and the times I don't I get class item engrams....like what is the ratio of this set to man damn
-
I got the Alpha Lupi chest piece for my Hunter 6 times. Getting pretty old considering I use that character the least. I thought they were supposed to change it so that you only get drops for the character you are on? I got all 6 using my Titan and warlock in strikes.
-
You should be happy with 4 Zhalos. I want one
-
9 out of 9 special engrams turned in to invectives for me..
-
It's happening to me too. Three helms of Saint 14, two inmost lights, two the stag, two knucklehead radars.. Same thing with chests and gauntlets. They say they fixed it. Doesn't appear that way to me.
-
They said that they did that for the Legacy Exotic engrams you purchase from Xur, not any new ones you get.

I have also experienced this.

Am I the only one noticing a huge drop in the rate exotic engram drops in the Year 2 strikes (even though Bungie clearly told us this is the way to use our three of coins and not to go to orbit in between strikes to raise the odds even higher)? Based on only two tests, so it's worth what it's worth even though the 20% drop rate was quite solid and confirmed by many before the nerf: about 10 strikes or so to get an exotic engram drop / never went back to orbit / splurged 13 three of coins (because of the multiple bosses on some strikes). I.e.: 10% drop rate in my case... The only good news, yesterday night I finally got an exotic I didn't already have - it had been a long time since this last happened. And being the Year 2 version of the Monte Carlo, as much as this pisses me off that Bungie screwed it with the 3 of coins nerf, I am quite happy as this will save me 150 precious legendary marks ;)
-
In the past week I've got 2 jade rabbits and and 3 Monte Carlo. When can I get a red death, zhalo supercell or something different. I get excited for a primary exotic and then get put down after getting the same weapon
-
I've gotten same results. 3 4th horsemans, 5 nighthawk helmets, 2 jade rabbits. Annoying especially after all the "it's supposed to be a percentage and not multiples for the destiny community now" bs
-
I don't care, I need multiple ones to just infuse them for my other gear and weapons to get them to 310 so.... I like getting multiple one so I don't care to infuse them in better things.
-
This is for poster. If you have all exotics why are you using 3 of coins anyways? If you have everything don't waste your strange coins and time trying to get other things if you have everything. 😒😒😒😒
-
So true they need to sort it out! Makes me cry😢😢.
-
I have gotten doubles of 7 different exotics! 2 or 3 sure but 7?!?? Ridiculous. Fix it bungie...
-
As a Titan I had 5 Alpha Lupi Chestpieces( the Hunter ones) but except that no more triples or Doubles... so I can't complain
-
What I do is use one exotic and then go to reef and repeat
-
Edited by TheGodOfShadowz: 10/5/2015 3:12:54 PMBump And another thing some of the new exotics are not even in the game yet just on pictures and I'm talking about the sleeper stimulant which is covered in deep secret to keep players playing the game

Year one I got Hawkmoon once. Year 2 I get 5 in a row.
