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]

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?????
-
I'll sign it and drink to it and poor a little 40 oz on the group for my guardian homies.
-
I can agree after getting no drops on hard from Golgoroth.. Terrible RNG luck to miss normal and heroic drops at the same time

Victory is it's own reward [spoiler]in the form of wormspore[/spoiler]

Signed in blood! Same shit happened to me! One of my characters got one drop in hard mode and the other two got something but 310 and 311's. First week was good though then, downhill. Didn't even budge my light lvl. 6 hard mode completions and not one primary! Pretty bad!
-
Agreed!!!! This needs to be fixed!

Edited by Dougdlux: 10/28/2015 8:37:30 PMIf you are already 310, you should get something that is 310 from every normal boss. I want the option to try different guns but not sacrifice my hard earned light level to do so. 309-310 pretty much impossible if you aren't 25 with a faction and have the best luck with boots. Sorry you didn't grind for a year, you don't have access to this exotic. If hardmode should drop something for you, it should at least be the same light level as the piece currently equipped in that slot.

Singed also remove Moldering Shards from Hard mode drops leave em' in normal.
-
And YOU held the gaze?!?!
-
Signed!
-
Signed This has happened across my raid team and our alternates. Even.with a fresh hardmode I recieved shards and a 310 NM Heavy. I mean, WTF!!
-
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssw;afqhekjweaqw efgjqwkldhgjqw;egtqw;gejwq
-
Agreed. Also, remove two moldering shards in return for your 20 after killing Oryx. Seriously, this is -blam!-ing bullshit.
-
It is rng and with rng means a chance at nothing as well, so no it does not need a change at all. you are not entitled to anything in this game just because you played the game or paid for the game, get over it and yoruself.
-
Its how they keep you coming back. You know you'll be back. They're preying on your hope lol. I personally enjoy the grind, just me i suppose.
-
The most dissapointing part of the Hard Raid was not getting anything at all from the Totems chest just because I did it on normal before.
-
Or at least give us sormthinf that even if it's useless, [i]it could actually be useless[/i] that we use as infusion material
-
I have done the raid on my hunter every week since it launched, I have not seen the gloves from normal or hard. I ran the raid twice on my Titan, I have all raid pieces except the helmet, and am already higher light level....I guess bungie wants my main to be the Titan.

Signed

Everything on the raid is a chance to drop. It's all luck of the rng. While I agree it sucks to see a friend get an amazing drop. I just say f it I guess rng hates me today. Better luck next week. I don't let it bother me. I've ran kf every week 3x with 3 different characters. I finally got a helmet. On hm oryx I got both titan helmets. Now where was that helmet 4 weeks ago
-
Signed! Robbed at sisters
-
Thats why you DONT do normal first. Op is fgt.
-
Your post feels angry. And you spout off about your roll as gaze grabber like it's a.)a difficult role b.)most important. My group gives that roll to the fireteam member that has the lowest damage output. That being said. All roles are important. So get off your horse. Now about the droprate in HM KF. yah, needs to be tweeked. Or, something else added to the loot table to replace mouldering shards.
-
I need this all I got was 310 gauntlets from the whole damn thing (except for oryx)
