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

Three of coin actually decreases our chances of getting exotic drops. That's how its bugged
-
A placebo would at least give you some mental relief, this isn't giving us at least that much! Sounds and looks like Bungie and Activision are nothing but a bunch of crooks by cheating their fans!

1 ReplyThey don't seem to work. Too many people including myself all have the same story

2 RepliesNope worse. It’s an exotic repellent. Legit I have gotten less exotics while using these things than I do when I don’t. Have been using them for them all day yesterday once Xur showed through today and have gotten bit one exotic where as I’m usually getting like 2-3 a day. Grant it they are all repeats each and every single one of them nonetheless I get them. These things are trash. And 10-1 within the next few days bungo will release they’re run of the mill for letter “we apologize for the inconvenience but the three of coins mechanic isn’t working properly, we are in the process of fixing it” garbage we see with every single new mechanic that is released. Honestly, I have wondered many times if these bugs aren’t purposefully input into the program as just another way of making the game look bad so when the game does get better we get hyped and come crawling back.

[i]~Nyahh! =^,.,^=[/i][/quote] Actually, I remember the exotic engram drops were waaay more than they are now, even with 3oC's! I had 5 or 6 exotics in a 3 to 4 hour period, that was heavy farming on public events! There's your evidence! I know it's not enough legally, but you get the idea!

1 ReplyEdited by I AM THA ONE774: 12/17/2017 5:06:41 AMBungie still lying and screwing over their players. Bungie see's their fan base as big giant dollar signs and try to rip their player base off left and right!! This is pretty much a broken game centered on those stupid loot boxes!! I uninstalled and im pretty much done!! Destiny will go the way of games like Evolve and Star war BF. They killed their own brand because of their own greed!!

1 ReplyGive them a week and they'll come out officially and say that three of coins was a "mistake" and "unacceptable".

Bigger question, is this game a placebo.??
-
I'm seriously thinking they are bugged. I've used one on each character and one drop over the time span. I get better drop rates without typically.

Yes it is a placebo.
-
5 RepliesNah, it isn't a placebo. They give a .04% buff towards getting exotics... ;) [b]Bungie: "Working as intended!"[/b]

Yes 3oC is more bullshit from bungie. Bungie will say we know and its a bug blah blah blah.
-
I'll take the green pill for that sweet juicy steak please.

2 RepliesHave not seen any increase with using 3oC.
-
Gotten 5 exotics today, more than I have ever gotten since D2 dropped.
-
Yeah I have used about 6 of them, put in about 14 hours and have gotten 1 exotic. I was getting more before i started using them. This is bs!
-
When you're more concerned to see if it [u]actually works[/u] than what you'll get out of it... which I think is the case here. *sigh... It's not like many of us actually need more exotic drops (more than we already have, that is). But it's interesting to think that this is another XP throttle in disguise, but for exotic percentages. At this point, how can you not have that cross your mind?
-
1 ReplyI don't think it's a placebo, but the drop rate is definitely still on the low side. I got an exotic after doing a patrol mission, and I think it's safe to say that that has never been the case before in Destiny
-
6 RepliesOnly recieved two exotic England since dlc. Think the overall drop rate was dropped to minimal

1 ReplyEdited by Graystash: 12/17/2017 3:54:50 AMLooks like it, I burned through 2 maybe 5-6 hours playtime and no exotics. They really nerfed exotic drops into the ground- I guess Xur will once again have a purpose.

3 RepliesEdited by Fishy Fallen: 12/17/2017 3:09:03 AMhttps://youtu.be/m7efJD5jImE Kackis explains what he thinks is a bug. Bungie get your crap together. XP throttle, Prometheus Lens bugged on launch and now we have wasted our hard earned legendary shards on a bugged consumable? What the hell Bungie

It’s a 4 hour timer to stop ANY GOOD DROPS !! I honestly think it’s decreases your chances . The minute the 3oc wore off I popped a fireteam medalliN and hit the first pe . 3 exotics in 2 public events and the other from a legendary that dropped . seriously what the -blam!- !!! Finally dropped crimson and 2 armor pieces I needed for the warlock all 3 something that I didn’t have . Something is broken ..... So 3oC just constipates the rng god clogs him up :...

3 RepliesEdited by GrizzlyTeeth: 12/17/2017 3:24:04 AMI get a feeling that they nerfed the actual exotic drop last week, and the 3oC only brings it back to what it was before the nerf. Just over 7 hours with 2 coins (so it can span the 7 hours), and I got nothing. I really wouldn't mind the lower drop rate, but I do mind getting duplicates repeatedly (3 fighting lions in a row is not funny anymore). On the the items dropped, maybe we should start a petition to demote the fighting lion to a rare or legendary. It is a piece of crap that should never have been made an exotic.
