Frustrated with raid drops
I am pretty annoyed at the randomness of the raid boss drops. After completing the raid at least once per week since the beginning of the game (for a couple of weeks four times (normal and hard with two characters)) I still haven’t gotten my last raid gear (leg armor for titan). A teammate got all of the raid gear except the helmet on the very first raid. Other players got the complete raid gear for all their three different characters—and played far less raids than me.
I guess you can imagine how frustrated I am. Randomness is fine, but because it is therefore possible to never get one gear item to get to level 30, there should be an increased chance to complete a raid gear set.
Please fix this and/or send Kabr's Forceful Greaves to my postmaster.

They can't give you the Leg Armor cause you may just quit after getting that gear. In my case too I have had 390 Leg Armor for two and a half weeks. I have got the three siva chests and am forced into PvP for a chance at leg armor. I think it is better to just give up for a month till they add leg armor. The Siege Engine is the only heroic raid chest I can complete. I thought with the ra8d chest plate and glove armor in mid 390s I could beat it but no, one must have a VERy competent raid team, this one fire team leader had a speech impediment and got really close for beating Vosik but died due to his issue. Thankfully nobody made fun of or blamed him but everyone did quit. I felt bad for him as seeing him reposting later for another raid team. We need more Sherpas. Idk

I hear you completely. I have done the raid 10x for sure between both of my characters on either normal or hard. I have only received one piece of raid gear through my countless hours of death/frustration in the raid. I have managed to obtain two of the same weapons which I am now forced to just dismantle or stuck with usually shards or energies which I have a stockpile of anyway. I have been playing this game since it has come out and nothing is more frustrating then to see people who have put in not even half the time you have but because of "luck" are able to reach 30. I get the whole grinding and yes the luck portion is nerve wrecking and kind of a rush after completing a nightfall or weekly strike but enough is becoming enough. I have reached the point when the only thing I look forward to on this game is Tuesday for the reset so I can rinse and repeat the raid/weekly/nightfall. Other than that the game is nothing but repetition. I'm slowly losing interest which is sad because this game is amazing. Please help a loyal gamer reach 30 so I can be a beacon of hope for other guardians.

You even got 3 characters of the same class... Cheezy... Muahahahaha... I am frustrated too but not that much m8... Must hurt so bad not to get the boots... ;)

1 ReplyI know the feeling bra. I am getting burnt out on this game fast because progression isn't skill based. Its entirely centered around luck and that's the most annoying thing about it. I hate doing the raid on hard because it feels like a chore, but I am forced to once I get nothing but ascendant materials through the entire raid on normal. The story is broken, the weapons and the ships look way to similar, and they over used the same mechanic over and over again. Somethings gotta give and soon or I'll be another one of those players who leave because of the constant repetition.

U people dont even know i had played the raid 50+ times through 3 characters. Throughout all of that i had never gotten a single primary raid weapon. I just finally got the fatebringer praetorian foil and vision in a single hard raid. Eventually the raid will reward you so just put the work in.

Made a poll with an idea for a system for this yesterday: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/78273374/0/0

I completely agree I have completed the raid 43 times on both hard and regular have 3 characters and still cant get 1 character to lvl 30 it has become very frustrating especially the guys I usually play are already lvl 30 and most don't want to do the raid anymore. I get the same thing over and over and over again if I get anything at all. The past 3 weeks I have only received shards and energy and maybe a weapon or piece of gear I have already received multiple times.
-
I'm not in the exact same boat, but I agree that the drop rate of raid gear is stupid. I've ran the raid on normal and hard every week, and I have one of each class made, so far I've gotten 2 pieces of raid gear for each class, missing the other 2 pieces for each class, doing 6 raids a week (1 normal/1 hard, per char) every week and not having a single one of my char's level 30 yet is really irritating the crap out of me!!
-
Agreed. The bosses should never just give sha4ds and energy. Especially Atheon. And if they do they should give the amount to upgrade 1 full piece of armor. (At least)
-
Shards and energy for Raid chests is a slap in the face...I can get these items doing publics, daily's and strikes. Raid chests should have gear and guns in it period! And when our crew beats a boss don't reward me with shards and energy again.
-
Why don't they change the raid very slightly. Keep it exactly the same as it is just now, you can complete it once per week(or twice if u run hard afterwards. You know what I mean). Get the usual drops, weapons, shards armour etc. Here's the change; once you've completed the raid, instead of getting nothing at all for going through again, implement a random armour loot into extra raid completions in the same week. You could still get absolutely nothing for completing it again...but there would be a very small chance that armour might drop through extra completions. Would add incentive for people who have completed the raid to maybe help less experienced teams complete the raid as there's the possibility of there being something in it for them as well. Any thoughts? Or is this just a stupid idea

I really would like to see Bungie implement a Raid Currency/Marks system where you could buy Raid gear from a Raid Vendor. Bungie could put a host of restrictions and requirements to prevent "gear farming" to make it legit. I understand the RNG for weapons, sparrows, etc., but it seems unfair that you can pour hours upon hours completing the raid and never get to level 30 because you are "unlucky".

2 RepliesJust did whole raid on normal and got shards out of every loot, even Atheon which I thought was kinda a bummer.

i have done the raid 3 times a week since the second week the game was out and so far i have gotten one peice of raid gear and a sniper and shot gun yesterday i did a raid with a lvl 30 and he got a full set of gear boots gloves and chest and a vision of confluance i got shards. at this point there is no point at all to play this game especialy when the game laughs at u not getting anything and rubs it in your face im pretty much done with the game all together no point in playing if im never going to get anything but shards
-
They can't fix this im pretty sure. Oh and dont forget making up an update that will help you but still effect everybody else doesnt make things easier. Anyways, on my first attempt on the raid (got to Atheon, BTW) i only got ascendant energies. On my second, I got Preadyth's Revenge and Found Verdict, and shotguns and snipers aren't my type of guns. I still havent attempted it again, my raid group isnt on too often. So youre lucky to have raid gear. 20 Energies left... *Mario Voice* HERE WE GO!
-
Bro ive done the raid 13 times on my warlock and cant get a set :/. Want the helmet sooo bad. Also need gloves. Till then im stuck. Funny how i make a titan do raid twice and hes 30. :(

Yep on my 6th time in a row with nothing but acendants and chatterwhites
