It has been a fair bit of time since I've bothered making a thread, but as I haven't seen discussion on this, I wanted to see if I've been missing something.
Today I finally beat the new 'raid.' A Grenade Launcher at the end was neato I suppose, but the fact remains for the rest of the raid the primary reward consisted of tokens. This goes for my team as well.
Now, I know I'm not alone in the thought that tokens are far less satisfying than an item drop and are very demotivating to receive. Yet that isn't what concerns me. What concerns me is that despite the fact that essentially the only reward I got for this new raid was a set of tokens, those tokens can't even be redeemed for drops from that raid!
Tokens given to Benedict only give out OG Leviathan loot. So not only are we not getting loot drops, but we also can't use the tokens we got to GET new loot drops. Now, we 'tested' this not only through none of us getting new gear via tokens, but also through inspecting the Engrams. Inspecting the engrams allows you to see potential rewards. Only old raid content can be seen.
So if I am mistaken in some way, someone please educate me on this matter. If it has already been acknowledged as an issue, that would be good knowledge as well. But if neither... well, please share in my displeasure so that I know I'm not alone in thinking that this is seriously misguided.
Thank you.

Only the last two chests I believe offer any chance at raid lair gear. I’ve completed the raid 6 times and am still missing the chest and arms. I also agree the tokens are useless if I can’t use them to get raid lair specific gear.

Our team ran the new raid, and received nothing but tokens. No new drops for any of our four clan members. The drop rates should be increased to one unobtained piece of armor per completion to say the very least. I'm starting to tire of tokens...but only recently. Specifically, the token grind on Mercury yielding zero new armor pieces on engram decryption with Blind Man Vance.

In D2 there is no grind for better gear. Everyone has the same gear. It's how we decorate that gear that is the focus now.

Edited by Seraphim Crypto: 12/14/2017 3:52:35 AMI haven't seen this anywhere being acknowledged as an issue. The drops are okay per Raid. But not great. I got lucky this week and got two Armor Pieces per Raid. It certainly doesn't feel right to obtain Tokens from Eater of Worlds, but then being unable to actually get new Gear from these Tokens. In my opinion, Bungie should've either implemented new Tokens, or the Gear should be available from Benedict 99-10. I'm curious how the drops will be on Prestige Mode. Hopefully better.

Nah you just a complainer complaining typical TTL (ttl is acronym for something evil)
-
I completely agree. You are left at the mercy of the chest drops for armor. Good luck. I also only got the useless grenade launcher and tokens last raid
-
This means i can finally get leviathan raid loot without doing that stupid raid. Ill gladly do the less stupid raid lair .
-
This. . And also, no more tokens please

Edited by Wheelaa1: 12/14/2017 10:15:47 PMThe first drop is like the calus courtyard chest, so really you only have the two chances, mines and boss, plus an exotic chance from the rings chest, and iirc boss is a guaranteed drop. So 1 out of 2 is guaranteed...pretty good imo.

I bet I got better rewards from my Clan than most people actually got from the raid (I never ran it once but have all the raid gear)
