Final edit: This is regarding having a chance of getting no drops from hard mode. A lot of people, including myself, have gotten very frustrated with this to the point where we just don't want to play anymore.
PROOF THIS IS NOT A GLITCH AND SOMETHING WHICH IS INTENDED BY BUNGIE:

It's not easy with a LFG team and after you spend a while fighting the boss, you get nothing or just normal mode loot. What's the point of doing it on Hard if you won't get loot anyway?
I've seen it all. Vault of Glass normal and hard, Crota's End normal and Hard, along with Prison of Elders. I've been through forever 29 but never complained about the rewards but this time I am as every other encounter gave you something every time.
Below is my original post.
Don't I just love it when I spend 20 min on a encounter only to get nothing? Last week it was nothing from sisters. This week, it was nothing from Golgoroth and I was the one who had the gaze. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to remove drops completely is a dumbass who deserves a slap to the face.
GIVE US GUARANTEED DROPS ON EVERY ENCOUNTER!
Just to clarify one thing, I'm not asking for straight 320 drops with perfect rolls. I'm just asking for drops. Now, with the variety of things you can get, you won't be done immediately. You get a drop, then it needs to be 320 and it needs desirable rolls.
For those of you saying "It has always been like this", it hasn't. I've been here since week one (Sign of Founders on my Hunter) and I'll tell you why. Before you got shards and / or energies. You could use those to upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful. You got something out of it if you remembered correctly. Now, since you don't need ascendant materials to upgrade anymore, the equivalent could be seen as weapons or gear. You use high light stuff and upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful.
If you do a normal raid and complete it, then do a hard raid, or just do a hard raid straight then you have the chance of getting nothing which has 310+ light until Oryx. What was the point of doing the previous encounters then if they don't guarantee you items? And it's not like this is infrequent. I didn't get anything from 3/5 encounters last week and 2/5 encounters this week. How is that fair?
Also, those of you calling me "entitled", I am entitled. I finished the activity therefore I earned the rewards. If you disagree with that then why not just remove loot completely from every activity?
Edit: 250+ replies. Let's keep going until Bungie sees this
Gecko 77 made a very good point:
[quote]Players should always feel like they are progressing. They should come out of the raid atleast one light level higher than when they started.[/quote]
triplearod also made another very good point:
[quote] The main difference in VoG and Crota's End is all weapons were exactly the same so you had to only get them once, low drop rate is fine in that instance. Armor may have different stat roll but the maximum light was always the same
Now were not only rolling against the chance it drops, but its Atk/Def values, and its perks. Im fine with the variance as it makes the raid more replayable, but something should drop even if it is a 310 hallowed pieces of gear. Maybe that gear will have stats & perks I like and is worth infusing up.[/quote]

Bump. Loot drops in this raid are terrible,in both hard and normal mode. At least the old raids you got loot on every kill.

So you're one of the guardians who wants everything in the first few weeks! Then you would complain there's not enough content! Pathetic
-
May your life be filled with nothing but moldering shards!

I just did a run, got up to Oryx. Got all -blam!-ing normal gear or shards. I might as well have done it on -blam!-ing normal mode.

They should remove shards from Oryx's loot table. Here is the theory "Shards can add up so players have a chance to get additional items from Oryx so the grind is slightly reduced." Here is the reality. "All loot tables in the raid contain shards. Therefore you can get nothing at all one week in the raid and if you are lucky, can get enough crap luck to get it next week. Oh except they only work the first time you run the raid that week. Oh that's not fair? Farm a shit ton of Hadium Flakes for a single shard. And Oryx's loot table contains shards so you might turn in 20 shards and your two drops are 2 shards and 2 more shards." So how exactly does this benefit players? Give them less rewards in lieu of a possible reward of equal value to any of the missed opportunities alone which also is not guaranteed at that. Might wanna rethink this one Bungie. Solution? Remove shards from Oryx's loot table. Stop being turds about it.

Edited by Jio: 10/28/2015 11:14:54 PMAt least drop moldering shards, those can be used for something at least. I think Hard Oryx should still award double loot with maybe 35 moldering shards? You should always get something for your effort and success. Drops should never be lower than your weakest gear imo.
-
How about you just make the 20 shards guarantee something decent No chance of getting 2 shards back...... This way when you don't get anything but shards at least they will amount to something
-
Signed fix this soon!! I'm getting sick of grinding my ass off to able to do raids and get nothing!!
-
One primary in 8 runs is piss poor and it dropped at 300. Since then sod all how do we progress if you cant get hold of arms good enough to infuse. Gets my vote. Bump n double bump... [quote][/quote]

Yep! Did oryx today and got rewarded 2 shards! WTF Bungie. What a bunch of BS. You should at least get a drop from the final boss.
-
Fücking Christ just try again next week, no need to make a damn petition when things don't go your way. Oh and what's that element that this entire game is built upon again? Oh yeah, RNG. Say it with me, arrrr-ennn-geeee

Edited by Ghostfire239: 10/28/2015 10:35:52 PMI don't have a lot of time or chances to do the raid so it's a real bummer when you go into a raid and get literally nothing. I went into king's fall at level 288, I was the lowest on my fireteam and I literally got nothing. I know I only did it one time but that only strengthens my first point, not all of us get time to do the raid so increase drop rates especially for lower level guardian. I'm not saying that just for me, I have a friend who literally never got a full set of raid gear until TTK released and he's been doing it every week! I'm not salty about not getting gear, I'm already used to it but it would be nice to see a drop rate increase. So with that I hereby SIGN this bill. Also may Spooky Kazi's notification Rest in peace.

They can get rid of shards while their at it.
