Ok, obviously some people have Transversive Steps. This is mostly due to the fact that Xur sold them though. Many people I have talked to that bought theirs from Xur have said that they have never seen them drop from anywhere else. I don't want to hear that it's just bad luck, RNG, etc. I'm positive that there is an issue.
With that said, I have turned in over 50 exotic leg engrams with my warlock since RoI released and I haven't seen Transversive Steps drop yet. I have every other exotic in the game. I have seen every other boot drop multiple times. I've been talking to another guy with the same issue. He has been grinding for exotic leg engrams and turns in a bunch at a time. He turned in 20 at once one day, all with his warlock, and didn't get them. He has turned in over 200 leg engrams since RoI released. Let's forget about the 200 for now though and just focus on my experience.
Two quick points. There are only 7 different exotic boots. These are the only exotic boots for warlocks. In my experience, decryptions tend to favor the class decrypting them. If this were the case with boots, I should have definitely seen these by now, but let's forget about classes. With 7 boots, I should at the very least have a 1 in 7 chance at them. After 50+ engrams, I should have seen about 7 on average, yet I haven't even seen one. There is no way it's just bad luck. This is nearly the equivalent of rolling a die 50 times and it never landing on one of its sides. What are the odds of that?
I have seen a few posts from others claiming that they have seen them drop. However, I have never seen them drop for anyone in a video (I've looked and have watched many post RoI engram opening videos). I've never seen anyone get them during the WotM raid, from the nightfall, or even just standing around in the tower near the cryptarch. I have seen many posts from others who are facing this same issue.
I have pretty much given up hope of them dropping. I will continue to save my leg engrams until this has been patched. I'm thinking it could be a bug similar to the one that affected the faction ship. Please inform the dev team of this issue if they are not already aware of it. In the meantime, it would be really awesome if Xur sold them again soon. That seems to be the only way many of us will be getting them until this issue is resolved.
Thanks
EDIT: This really shouldn't matter, but I'm on Xbox One. I know that the code should be the same across both systems, but it's still possible for a bug to only affect one system.
EDIT 2: For those of you who feel the need to lecture me about RNG, here is a little math for you. There are 7 possible boots. The probability of getting Transversive Steps should be 1 minus the probably of not getting them. The probability of not getting them is (6/7)^n, where n is the number of engrams you decrypt. Setting n to 30 results in a 99% probability. I say "should be 1 minus the probably of not getting them" because it obviously isn't. Otherwise I would have had them well before turning in 50 engrams.
Here is a link to a random number generator set to 50 random integers between 1 and 7.
https://www.random.org/integers/?num=50&min=1&max=7&col=5&base=10&format=html&rnd=new
It is nearly impossible to have one of the 7 numbers not show up. The chances of that happening are 0.045%. This means that the chances of getting any one number out of the 50 is 99.955%. Therefore, I conclude that this drop is bugged or at the very least not coded to be a 1 in 7 chance. I say that it's definitely an issue if we don't have at least a 1 in 7 chance at Transversive Steps when turning in an exotic leg engram with our warlock. If anything, the chances should be better than 1 in 7 in that scenario.

Edited by Promethean7: 8/6/2017 5:11:36 PMWhat the hell is going on Bungie? I too have decrypted countless boot engrams for quite some time on my warlock with no transgressive steps to be found. Fix this. People are trying to get their collections in order before D2... Don't be a-holes in this matter...address it, now!👌
-
Once again, I'm reviving this old thread. My last revival was March. Now, five months later .. guess what? Still no Transversive Steps. This has been the only exotic I do not have for so long I can't actually remember. A year? Maybe more. For s little while, I had to chase the adept raid weapons, but now that's done. And ... Guess what ... I still don't have them. Thanks.
-
I'm in the same boat, still.. 6 months after your post. Doesn't seem to matter what I do, they will not drop, and they are the last exotic I have needed for months and months. Missed Xur selling them back in September.. And even he refuses to sell them again!!! Please fix Bungie!!!!
-
I agree with all you've written. Been trying every which way from Sunday to get these, too. Last exotic I don't have. Boot engrams (over 100), shaxx bounties, nightfalls, raids, trials bounties....just can't get them. Hoping bungie addresses this soon. Thanks for your great summary. I deeply regret missing xur last September...... COME ON BUNGIE!!!!!!!! It would take you guys like 5 minutes to fix this!!!
-
Good post and totally agree. Been playing since day 1 and these boots are the only exotic I'm missing. Traded in over 50+ boot engrams on a warlock since ROI launched and have never seen them drop.
-
I agree that they are bugged. I have opened 90+ exotic boots on my warlock alone and never had them drop. I can't even begin to count the number of legendaries I've opened on him in hopes of getting them. I watched Mr. Fruits Wrath Of The Machine video he did and someone got them in one of the chests. But I've given up hope of ever getting then until Xur sells them.
-
Bumping this. Been trying for months to get these. I've decrypted all exotic boot engrams on warlock and spent 90% or so of my marks on leg engrams and nothing.
-
I'm gonna help keep this alive. Countless engrams, no drop. On ps4
-
I am on PS4 and the same damn thing, almost 40 exotic leg armor and dozens of legendaries and still no Transversive Steps, i am disgusted with it.
-
Going on 253 engrams with no boots.

A bit of a late comment to this thread but having discussed the drop rate with my clan, we think there's a bug definitely. None of us have ever had them drop (6 of us x numerous boot exotic engrams) and I myself never bought them from Xur as I didn't have rise of iron until after he'd sold them. We have seen one person wearing them during our time playing. One member of my clan has every exotic bar these boots and is incredibly frustrated by it. Yes it may be a case of RNG but underlying that, I think they haven't removed the 'fix' they made when the perk could be transferred and it seems Bungie can't see how much this annoys players who want to complete their collection.
-
Reviving this old thread to remind Bungie this is still an issue that some of us, probably just those of us who want to have a complete set of exotics care about. Transversive Steps are the only exotic i dont have and I have been trying to get them for 23 weeks ... yes, that's how long it has been since xur sold them. If the drop has been discontinued ... say it, so I can stop chasing an item that no longer exists as a possible drop. Someday? Maybe? Please?

Don't let the people in this game get you down, I'm personally at 300+ exotic boots and well over 1000+ legendary boot engrams. What most people don't realize is that at one point there was a major bug with these boots. If you infused them into regular boots the exotic perk transfered and bungie scrambled and immediately stealth nerfed the drop rate as a stop gap until it was fixed. My theory is that they never reversed said drop rate decrease. People can say all they want oh i got it to drop or it's bad RNG but honestly they're either lying or hit the lottery. You gotta remember that even the most "hardcore" players aren't really that good. Keep fighting the fight man, and hopefully one day bungie will actually fix a real issue and not worry about trivial stuff....like what the sheep will QQ about next in PvP.

200+ exotic boot engrams......still no lock boots. Getting really tired of the "Just horrible RNG" comments. All that basically means is, "I'm not experiencing this issue, therefore it can't be a thing." Not one person in my friendslist who still actively play have seen them drop as a reward (raid chest, nightfall) or decrypted them from engrams. Does that mean this experience is true for everyone? No, but there's a large majority of players that have been in this boat. It may not be bugged, but something is definitely off with them.

Hello Marshall Law TX, I just received the Transversive Steps last week after trying since the launch of Rise of Iron and getting 50+ boot engrams, I got mine from a drop in the Wrath of the Machine raid. Unfortunately RNG is just random, if you keep trying you will get the Transversive Steps one day.
-
I've had six pairs drop, and a simple question to the rest of my clan has shown everyone has received them as random rewards or from engrams at least twice each. Maybe don't rely on personal anecdotal experience and try to get a wider-ranging sampling. My samplings are still inadequate, only being 30-ish people, but it's approaching a more reliable result.
-
Sadly, right now all we can chalk it up to is bad RNG (I personally have received the boots through a drop twice), but all of this information may be able to help the dev team identify an issue and address it if there is one. Thank you very much for the detailed report on your findings, and I wish you the best of luck in the future.
-
I have only received them once from an exotic engram, since I rarely use my Warlock anyways. I know I never purchase them from Xur because I haven't bought any armor (besides a pair of Titan gauntlets) from Xur since RoI launched. I'll keep a lookout to see if they drop again, and will also ask around.
