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

Edited by RoseScythe: 12/17/2017 12:03:13 AMI love how a lot of the people complaining that they grinded x event for y hours and received nothing previously stated, before CoO dropped, that they were done with D2. Lol, virtue signalling idiots.
-
I've done 10 hours of heroic strikes with these things and got nothing.
-
Yes I’m two hours in heroic strikes without a break and haven’t got one yet
-
3 RepliesIt might be an actual bug that they may not have realized. The lack of words from them may be them investigating before they say anything just to make sure it's actually an issue and not just us being unlucky.
-
Only recieved two exotic England since dlc. Think the overall drop rate was dropped to minimal
-
People seem to have mixed results. I bought 1, it netted nothing so, I will not use them anymore. Everyone else can do what they please with them.
-
I bought 2, got nothing on the first one...gonna try the second one, but if I get nothing won't buy anymore...would be wasting shards
-
2 RepliesPlayed a few hours yesterday and used a 3oC, heroic strikes, PE’s and crucible had 1 exotic engram drop. Today played for around the same length of time, no 3oC and no exotic engram drop. Public events just drop rare loot now? I haven’t seen any legendary or exotic drops for me or others for that matter.
-
Me and my buddy popped a 3oC at the same time yesterday. Did tons of public events, strikes and adventures/ patrols. He gets 1, I received nothing for 4 hours.
-
Its bugged. Has to be.
-
Thread in reddit says it could be bugged. Many players are reporting no exotics using 3oC.
-
I'm not sure what is going on with anything here. I hear the coins do nothing but is XP still throttled or what? I run PE's, crucible and patrols for hours and my bar barely moves.
-
It flat out doesnt work or is bs.
-
I received more exotics not using 3oC and a Fireteam Medallion. Lol
-
It is not working for me. I get more exotics without using it. It seems to block exotic drops.
-
4 RepliesFor me, if I have a 3oC and a Fireteam Medallion on at the same time, I'll get purples for days. If I have just the 3oC, I'll get an exotic almost every 45 mins to an hour. Not sure if that's intended or if the medallion buff will take precedent over gear drops but that's how it's been working for me. Also, I've gotten an exotic from Mercury patrols and from a Lost Sector. Just FYI.
-
I played through the straight 4hrs it’s active. And the only exotics I got came from my powerful engrams. So it seems they changed the RNG on exotics. Because it doesn’t seem to matter what I’m doing I’m getting nothing on that note. And on something RNG related I think they are also throttling the prophecy items. Been doing strikes to get the ones I need from that. And more often than not I come out of it with no more than I went in with
-
yep waist of time and shards I just did 8 hours and not a single exotic. tried strikes, public events, missions, crucibles with no luck

-
2 RepliesI think it's a lie to get people to chase down exotics..popped my ToC and played 3 hours of strikes, I never felt so swindled lol got one from a random PE in EDZ.. and it also was a duplicate of the Aeon gauntlet lol..
-
I popped one and had an exotic drop after my 2nd public event. Ymmv
-
Yes. Got more exotic drops before using
-
I used 2 on the last 8 hours and got 1 exotic. It was a repeat. Pretty brutal.
-
7 RepliesNo, a placebo is something that makes you think it’s going to do something and your mind ends up doing it itself. The three of coins promise to do something (and that’s its intended purpose) and it doesn’t work.

-
Lol. Who would even bother with them? Just grind for exotics without the shortcuts.
