Anyone disappointed with Raid drops?
I'm not just talking frequency of drops - I honestly think that's mostly fine. What I'm talking about is the level they drop at.
In the original VoG, drops weren't the most frequent (slightly less frequent than our current raid - but not crazily different), but when you did get a drop, whether it be a weapon or armor piece, it had the inherent ability to be max level once you finished upgrading it.
With our current situation, when you do get that drop you want so dearly (I'm still waiting for a helmet =/) it could still drop at 300 for normal, or 310 for hard. This seems to add a ridiculous amount of possible extra grinding, as you could get all the gear the raid has to offer, both on normal and hard mode, and still be stuck at 300 or 310, respectively. For example, I got a 300 chest piece from normal mode a couple weeks ago, and a 312 sniper from hard mode last week.
I feel that these items should at minimum drop at 305 or 315, respectively (but honestly it could be 310 and 320, respectively). I can get 300 blue weapons from any strike, and feel that a drop from the raid should be inherently better, as they have been in every highest level end-game content previously.
It definitely has that "forever 29" vibe to the whole thing, but even slightly more. I get that 319/320 is MUCH different than 29/30, but the insatiable desire to be "maxed out" will, in my opinion, take longer than it ever has before to be satisfied.
Let me know your thoughts!

2 Replies....is anyone HAPPY with the raid drops? no class items, no helmets, and only 1 ghost in 16 completions (normal and hard). Just 300 shotguns and auto rifles over and over

Edited by plope125: 10/30/2015 2:59:20 PMMy biggest grief is that moldering shards can be taken and you only get 2 in return, that shouldn't be a thing they should guarantee an armor or weapon drop at oryx.
-
Big joke. I keeping getting NOTHING. Warpriest =nothing, sisters=nothing, even Oryx (HM)=shards
-
I've actually have had great rng since hard mode has dropped. But before.....I think it would have taken a year to get past 307.
-
Exactly, and i think its pretty stupid how infusion isn't like 100% (infuse a 290 into a 280 and it'll be like 287) because this causes everyone to go back to just using raid gear because no one wants to sacrifice the power level of there weapons. This defeats the purpose of having all this this awesome looking armor, like the FWC helmet for the hunter for the New Monarchy armor for the titans.

2 RepliesNope. Did quite well for week 1. All 3 of my characters got some good gear. After reset I expect to get even more. Then, after the next reset I expect to get more. Then, after the reset after next I expect to get even more. Then, after the.........

Heck ya!! I get the same thing at lower light!! Beat oryx 4 time. Only got 1 primary and its the hand cannon. All others are repeats
-
I hate it. I'm getting nothing to progress my characters. went in at 309 came out at 310-311 the 6 times I ran it. funny tho how people going in at low light such as 306 end up getting the 320 drops. I hate it.

They blow. I'm a 311 on my hunter got 313 gauntlets bringing them up +3 from my previous 310, while a 306 in the raid gets 320 gauntlets.

1 ReplyYes I had to buy a new tv after throwing my controller at it after completing KF last night. Bungie owes me $899!
-
Kinda sad but not really. I've only beat the sisters and oryx twice. Golgoroth once and I got hand Cannon, gauntlets, auto riffle and shotgun and an exotic engram drop so I'm pleased for not putting barley any time into it. I want to do the whole thing at one but don't really have time with work and the fam.

I have 5 hard mode completions and not a single primary has dropped

Edited by Patriot121: 10/28/2015 10:57:22 PMThe better question is, is anyone not disappointed with raid drops?
-
Edited by NBS x SMOK3Y: 10/28/2015 10:56:40 PMThe loot is terrible i already got a 320 sniper and i kill oryx and get a 315 sniper not even a primary the whole raid nothing but shards and at oryx a sniper like wtf
-
It's just terrible! Just killed oryx on hard and we all know it's not always easy. I only got a 310 class item...pfff
-
Complete joke. Worse is it is ONLY to pad out lack of content.
-
18 full runs and 0 helmet drops over 3 characters a week.......................
-
3 RepliesI got the nice new hunter helm and a 319 cloak :0

I agree. The raid loot and its multiple layers of rng is super annoying. I hate that it is completely luck based. There needs to be a way to progress that is not completely rng.
-
Frequency is poor + I keep getting gloves that are lower than what I'm already wearing. I'll be happy just to get 310+, never mind 320. TTK = VoG pre-TDB drop rates
-
Mucho disappointed.
-
My first run I got a ton of cool stuff. From what others have told me I got lucky.

Edited by A KOOL POP TART: 10/26/2015 10:02:47 PMFriend of a friend says that Year 2 Mida is a drop. I don't know this guy, but apparently he is very trustworthy and has a lot of friends that do the raid constantly. And I know that sounds like total bullshit, but hey we didn't know that the Black Spindle existed
