Is Three of Coins simply a placebo? (Bungie Official Tweet)
Without Bungie providing the percentage increase of chance for an exotic to drop, how do we know if ToC does anything at all?
We can’t rely on Bungie’s veracity here either. Think, first they throttled experience gain without telling us but allowed us to buy fire team medallions that would have been pointless if you were being throttled. Then they “fixed” the issue of throttling xp gain but then DOUBLED the amount of xp needed to level up without telling a soul.
Based on that track record, what’s keeping them from releasing ToC as a placebo for us to burn through the thousands of shards we have? How does one prove that random drops have increased when said drops are RANDOM?!?
[b]UPDATE:[/b] So after reading many of your comments it seems as if ToC is in fact BUGGED and REDUCES your chance of gaining exotics when activated. My recommendation is to avoid using ToC at all costs if you value getting exotic drops.
Bungie is now on Christmas break so it’s doubtful we will hear anything on this issue nor will it be resolved any time soon.
Here is a link to Kackis speaking on the issue as well: https://youtu.be/m7efJD5jImE
[b]UPDATE 2:[/b] Bungie is officially looking into the ToC matter: https://twitter.com/DeeJ_BNG/status/942446254260236288?s=17

Drop rates in D2 did not need any sort of increase. So they lowered them and gave us a consumable to supposedly raise it back. Bungie puts in zero effort and people spend the shards they've been complaining about having nothing to spend on.

2 RepliesIMO they don’t work. I played for about 20 hours with a 3oC activated and lo and behold, no exotics. This morning played for 15 minutes without a 3oC activated and got an exotic. I’ll be running without a 3oC activated until there’s a statement from Bungie saying either way if it’s working as intended or, if I think, they’re broken.

1 Exotic in 7 hours with ToC buff

3 RepliesEdited by TeslaDoc: 12/18/2017 5:50:47 AMThree of coins is actually designed to promote the grind and prolong the endgame by stopping exotic drops for 4 hours. It’s a friendship thing because it makes you bitch to your buddies. Longer endgame, more communication. Working as intended. EDIT: Bungie is actually investigating the drop rate of ToC according to their recent Tweet!

11 RepliesEdited by gregoryw3: 12/21/2017 4:21:50 PMWhat's funny is that since the launch of D2 they've shown that they can't be trusted even more than the past 3 years of D1. GG, Bungie. Edit: I was thinking of lunch, sorry.

6 RepliesOnce again we have an example of the community being contradictory and not knowing what the hell it is they want. First you guys complain that exotics were dropping like candy and didn't feel special. Now after adjusting drop rates you're complaining 3oC isn't a easy mode button for getting exotics. Sometimes I really do feel like the Destiny community is the biggest collection of jagoffs in gaming. Smh.

4 RepliesYknow what borderlands 2 did? Gave a relic that said “boosts rare loot drop rate by 5%” Guess what it did? Boosts rare loot drop rate by 5%. Take notes Bungie

Prior to the addition of 3oC: exotic drops about 1 per hour on Public Events. After 3oC addition: 1 exotic dropped doing Public Events AND 60 Heroic Strikes since Xur arrived! 3 3oC’s and 12 hours of straight play grinding for Prophecy components. And, the 1 exotic dropped 10 light below my level . It is a pure waste of your marks, period...

Haha me and my mates said the exact same thing... we also said "i bet it increases it by 0.08372626% so its still increases the chances and Bungie cant cop shit for it because they never said a specific %"
-
I dont get the point them right now, i havent really gotten any when using ToC and i had a better drop rate before just using the fireteam medallion ToC just made it worse some how
-
1 ReplyIt’s bugged and I’m told they new it was but launched 3oC anyway so people would blow all their shards. Go figure.

3 of coins are broke as hell https://youtu.be/m7efJD5jImE

So far I've used two of them with a grand total of 1 exotic.
-
Used 1 on friday and 1 on saturday....0 exotics in 8 hrs of gameplay....a bit anoying 😕
-
Bungie is on christmas and new year break, no communication until 2018. Youre complaints are falling on deaf ears.
-
8 hours, not a single exotic. I hardly ever find exotics, I expected 3oC to at least do something. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bungie stop disrespecting your paying clients. The way you treat a paying customer you have no place being in the business of providing a service.
-
Who cares. Bungie already ripped people off for real money for XP boosts. If you all will bend over for that, why would you care about three of coins?
-
This post, and similar posts needs bumping, to get the attention of either The Artful Dodger, or Fagin at Bungie lol [spoiler]At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed you! [/spoiler]

1 ReplyI literally just finished one and got 1 exotic in 4 hours...it felt like I was dropping less than when I don't use it so I pretty much wasted 30 legendary shards on it...I never really had a duplicate problem before the DLC and now I've dropped graviton forfeit 3 times and nothing else new...I feel like something is bugged
-
I agree, and I've seen me get 1 exotic (repeated), whilst my fireteam member got 2, not even using a 3ofC Bungie commented a while back about player's having hundreds of LM and nothing to spend them on, what better way to exploit that
-
I’m starting to think things like this aren’t an intentional attempt to deceive us. I think Bungie just really sucks at programming their own game and they’re incapable of getting things like this to work right. And I honestly don’t know which one would be worse.

Three of coin actually decreases our chances of getting exotic drops. That's how its bugged
