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]
Edit: RIP my notifications tbh

I don't mind moldering shards but did Daughters on hard last week and got nothing I was pissed
-
It's bullshit honestly. Last week I got nothing in two encounters in the same raid. So stupid.
-
I spent a LONG time in Oryx and got a 310 Fusion rifle. That was it
-
Honestly- Kings Fall Hard, is next to Trials of Osiris, [i]THE[/i] endgame. No Reward on the hard mode loot table is unacceptable. What if this will be the case with the Lighthouse?

Signed

Signed. + Oryx should drop 315+ only, I'm sick of getting -blam!-ing 310 boots off him when I've got 320 ones.
-
I here u we can buy chards why im i getting them for drops vog all over again
-
Entitled little kids...
-
Signed. Moldering shards shouldn't be a reward either. I'm on the edge of being over hard raids until this is fixed
-
Can we count moldering shards as "Nothing"? Spent two hours trying to get the teamwork flowing at oryx, was rewarded with 2 shards...not...fun.
-
Definitely signed.
-
Signed. At least have Oryx guarantee a drop. Not getting anything from beating Oryx on hard mode is a total slap in the face.
-
I have to agree, the content is difficult and time consuming not receive anything for your effort. But even the normal raid should drop something at the major bosses, this is without a doubt the stingiest raid yet. Having run it to completion multiple times across 3 characters and I have yet to get a full set of gear.
-
It's not like this is something new. Take the personal loot setting in say WoW for example, you could go an entire raid without getting anything either. Or you could roll against an entire team for it. Guaranteeing you get a successful drop would ruin the point of the end game entirely.

yeah i did HM earlier today at 310 and guess what, im still 310, i didnt get anything to that higher than what i already had equiped, this is BS!

Edited by raul23: 10/28/2015 9:55:48 PMSigned We need to have progress

It should either be: Guaranteed reward at random light level or Random chance for a reward at max light Random chance for a reward + random light level has led to so many frustration and is the sole cause of all the raid drop threads that are so popular today.

Last night.... Warpriest - Shards & Legendary Engram Golgoroth - Antiquated rune Sisters - 320 bond Oryx - not done yet.
-
Signed. I don't get why the -blam!- a hardmode warpriest drops nothing but shards for me three times in a row......
-
It's already bad enough we might get 310 or 311 harrowed stuff like I have. But also getting nothing? Brutal.
-
Signed. I did the hm raid today to only get lower sh't then i had or nothin'
-
Got things from all bosses the first day hard mode came out is it different now?
-
Pretty much had this for the past 3 weeks. It's really putting me off even bothering to do the raid anymore. This week I went straight in on hard. Expecting double loot from the first part 2 shards. Warpriest 2 shards. Golgoroth I got harrowed gauntlets (already had them) and normal gauntlets like what the -blam!-??? Death singers I got shards. Oryx I gave up because let's face it I don't need any more bloody shards. I thought there was supposed to be a smart loot system?????
