Another 4 runs, 2 bosses each time, and only got two drops. In done with this ■■■■ for the time being. Lootpocalypse my ■■■■■■■ ass
I’ll have to go back into my bank and see just what it was that dropped, but I got 4 Legendaries earlier today. The only one I can remember for sure was the Heliopahic Goggles. I got one off of Geoff and I think 1 off of ISIC. Not sure where the 4th one was from. Just killing stuff and having fun and not paying too much attention.
3 Advanced Renegade, 3 Heliophage and 4 Saboteur… and only one legendary (mini singularity)
So yes looks like the event doesn’t work like intended
What happened to the drops? A week or so ago it was roughly 50% chance to get legendaries on bosses. Now I just got some people back into the game, did 8 maps and got nothing, they are now done with the game again. Seems within the last week or so drops have been stealth nerfed back into the ground.
Agreed. Last week I was getting 2-3 legendary drops each mission I ran. This weekend I’ve only gotten 1 so far in about 6 attempts. I was expecting more this week than last, at least that was the gist I got from the battleplan last week.
I hope not as chasing Legendarys is the only thing keeping me playing this game at the moment. However what you say makes sense. If they have over buffed the drops in their opinion this would be the best way to stealth nurf it and bypass community outrage. I’ve been chasing certain Legendarys all week and still not got them feels like Destiny all over again. Uggghhh.
I hope we get some sort of offical response on wheat her the hot fix is working as intended or they screwed something up. My legendary drop rate has gone down since the ‘Lootpocalypse’. The weekend is not worthy of the name in my opinion.
Maybe I’m not getting the legendaries like I had hoped, but the price drop for the loot packs is enough to make this event worthwhile
Has anyone had any luck getting the legendaries from The Archive (both normal and advanced)? I’m tempted to try, as “The Archive” and “The Void’s Edge” are the only two missions I need to farm to get legendary items.
Also, I’m assuming getting legendaries in the Heliophage is nearly impossible? I got the Doomsday Key twice, but that’s not what I want goddamn it.
11 Advanced missions (29 bosses) - 5 legendaries (1 from 7 mission on the first day, 4 from 4 missions on second and third), 7 epics. White, green and blue drop was high only on second and third day.
4 Normal missions (12 bosses) - 3 legendaries, 7 epics. Many greens and blue’s.
3 out of 15 mission results were lost due to “Can’t load mission data” error, though I included them here. I never had that before the event.
I have a feeling that if the drop rate for the gear is bugged or some such thing then the event will be extended a little longer to make up for the mix up. That being said I’m still not sure there is a problem or not. Time will tell either way. Anyway, @JoeKGBX who would I ping to look into this? I’m going to guess @gRANT_ would be the one to talk to about this (he made a thread on the reddit subforum asking about the loot drops on Heliophage after fighting Rendain). Sorry for pinging you guys but I figured this would be an appropriate time to do so.
Only thing that I can think of that’s happening is the event is working against/negating the hotfix that increased legendary drop rates. What should have been pretty much a guaranteed drop each run is behaving just like the hotfix that they implemented, meaning this weekend really is nothing special. (Aside from the loot packs, but even those are met with disappointment)
Another mission met with ultimate disappointment. I’m done for the day, I can’t handle getting absolutely nothing for my efforts.
Lootpocalypse is a failure…green as far as the eye can see…from bosses.

Definitely not seeing some amazing increase
Haven’t checked epic packs but missions not so much
I, as well, am not noticing a significant increase, or any increase in loot quantity or quality from story runs or pack openings. If anything, it seems worse the last day and a half.
I totally get the feelings of frustration, but I did intend for the thread to actually report some data to a dev who might not be interested, so please try to give numbers of runs, drops, etc. with your post. I get the need to vent frustration, but I want this thread to be something the devs find helpful instead of simply discouraging.
Maybe we can start a different thread to simply talk about expectations vs. the real thing on an event like this where the benefits are cut and dry like a double xp event where we know our time will be rewarded.
Thanks to all the posts, not meaning to discourage the feedback, rather to help preserve the original intent of the thread.
It seems possible things aren’t working entirely as we’d hoped, although some people seem to be having pretty good luck. We’ve been investigating everything over the weekend. The plan as it stands now is to figure out what’s up, adjust it appropriately, and then possibly, extend the event.
We definitely want to make sure we’re giving you guys good experiences when it comes to community events!

It’s definitely not working. Drop rates for legendary gear most definitely aren’t noticeably higher than before.
And if possible please don’t just extend the event for a couple of days. Most people aren’t going to be able to take advantage of it if it’s extended to Monday and Tuesday. It really works best as a weekend event.
I got a Vow of Vengeance so I’m feeling great. Too bad Saboteur takes so long.

Had an Advanced Hardcore run of The Algorithm last night - got Gold Rating, and 3 Legendary Drops! It was lootpocalyptic!

Alright, I played for a bit again today with some success. Did the saboteur 3 more times on advance, got modernista two more times, and FINALLY a singularity launcher on the third. Felt so good, went into the sentinel and got Vyns quiver as well, but that was pretty much it. 4 runs, 10 bosses total, 5 legendaries gained. Still sitting on a 50% chance it seems, which is ok I suppose. Loadouts are looking really good now.
