Only Ascendant Materials from the Raid....really?

Edited after another raid. This is the fourth raid in a row in a span of two weeks (did the raid 5 times total now, and the first time gave me 3 weapons) that I have done that has only given me ascendant shards and energy (from all 3 chests and looting all 4 sections).. FOURTH TIME! This is extremely idiotic that I cannot get a single piece of raid gear all because Bungie had the bright idea of letting there be an option for only getting materials and having all the loot be from RNG. Edit: Alright, so what my main problem with getting Ascendant Materials in the raid is how they can take up all the loot throughout the whole thing. That is a problem. The raid is supposed to be something enjoyable and rewarding, even if it is just one weapon or armor throughout the whole thing, but getting nothing is just absurd. There is only one path to level 30, and that is only through the one raid in the game. The game doesn't have enough substance to balance out a lot of RNG, as the missions themselves can be finished in about 6 hours with no story behind it all (the grimoire cards are a terrible excuse of a narrative). The lack of substance with the combination of RNG is a terrible mix, and if you do something (and do it well) then you should be rewarded for what you have done, as that would make sense. The game is not an MMO, at most it has 16 people in one bubble which is more like a lobby in a game like Halo 2, and for fire teams, then you are restricted to 3 unless you are doing the raid.

    • It's all I've gotten too I gt 3 friends that got full raid gear already and I haven't got a single piece all shards and energy for me. If they never stopped sharding from queens armor and just maid pure raid gear and occasionally weapon drops or so from raid game would be better and much better to level up as well as being fun.

    • when a game lacks content they use things like this to keep people interested. Rather than have a game that is flushed out they use the approach that if people haven't got their loot they will keep playing it every week. So for every piece of gear you don't receive bungie gets to keep you playing another week in the hopes that you do get it. Rather than having to make actual content they rely on the fact that it will take months of playing the same content over and over and over to get your gear. I remember when getting THROUGH the content was the actual point for most games, and the gear just helped you do that. Now games of this sort are about nothing but THE GEAR and the actual content doesn't matter. -§mort§-

          • You're gonna need them materials when you finally do get armor. I'm glad they are as common as they are. By the way there are more than 3 chests and only one of them you can get anything other than materials in, even though you usually get mats anyway. I haven't got any raid armor either, just weapons, and I've done it a lot more than 5 times across multiple characters. But I have fun while doing it and if I got all the armor in just a few goes then there would be no point to keep doing it.

            • People need to stop making topics whining about not getting what they want. Clearly this is everyone's first mmo style game so let me clarify. YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON THE FIRST RUN, OR THE SECOND, PROBABLY NOT THE THIRD EITHER. Mmos are generally about grinding the same content over and over again until you drop the stuff you want. That's what keeps you playing. If you don't like that then stop playing, this kind of game isn't for you. It's that simple.

              • Yup. I know how you feel. I did the raid 3x this weekend on hard expecting great loot, but at the end of the day I came out with pure ascendant energy ( now have 103 ascendant energy). I officially done with Destiny. :\

              • I got ascendant material and the glass minuet ship. I have to admit that I was disappointed, since my friend got a shader and the solar scout rifle, and I think gauntlets.

              • at least you got 3 weapons your first run. I've only gotten ascendant and an ugly titan mark after 3 runs.

                • Just think when you get that raid gear you'll be laughing, fully stocked on ascended materials. It is what it is . I've had it happen to me this week I got nothing other than ascended energy from every boss and 2/3 chests (hunter cloak from the other) it hurts at the time but over the course of the next few weeks you'll have most raid pieces.

                • Ha! You aren't the only one this is my 3rd Fresh Raid in a row.. no gear whatsoever but I have a cool ship and cool shader that everyone else has. Maybe I'll get luckier on the 4th week. It refuses to give me any gear. I think this is why people have more then one of the same class so they can get raid gear and get their main to 30. Smart idea.. if you have the patience and determination. I lack in caring to do the extra work for it lol RNG - It is only the fair way of game play. And, this is all playable terrain.

                    • I've done it twice, both times I got nothing buy shards/energy. The one time I didn't finish it I got a few items but every time I've completed it, I get nothing but garbage. Feels like shit hearing your entire team piss themselves over all the sweet stuff they get and you're in the corner sulking because all you got was some crappy shards you could have gotten for any other meaningless activity. Last time I almost quit out because I was so pissed off.

                    • I get one for doing the first Public Event of the day, plus a random chance of getting one in subsequent public events. Also dismantling Legendary Armor gives shards and Legendary Weapons gives energy (plus sometimes the weaponry telemetry modules Xur sells).

                        • I did the raid last week and this week and have gotten raid gloves and the raid sniper. Other than that shards and energy.

                        • I know it's not as sexy as acual gear / weapons but those shards are hard to come by. Once you do finally get the gear you'll be able to upgrade it in no time while everyone else plateaus out due to lack of shards.
