Final edit: This is regarding having a chance of getting no drops from hard mode. A lot of people, including myself, have gotten very frustrated with this to the point where we just don't want to play anymore.
PROOF THIS IS NOT A GLITCH AND SOMETHING WHICH IS INTENDED BY BUNGIE:

It's not easy with a LFG team and after you spend a while fighting the boss, you get nothing or just normal mode loot. What's the point of doing it on Hard if you won't get loot anyway?
I've seen it all. Vault of Glass normal and hard, Crota's End normal and Hard, along with Prison of Elders. I've been through forever 29 but never complained about the rewards but this time I am as every other encounter gave you something every time.
Below is my original post.
Don't I just love it when I spend 20 min on a encounter only to get nothing? Last week it was nothing from sisters. This week, it was nothing from Golgoroth and I was the one who had the gaze. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to remove drops completely is a dumbass who deserves a slap to the face.
GIVE US GUARANTEED DROPS ON EVERY ENCOUNTER!
Just to clarify one thing, I'm not asking for straight 320 drops with perfect rolls. I'm just asking for drops. Now, with the variety of things you can get, you won't be done immediately. You get a drop, then it needs to be 320 and it needs desirable rolls.
For those of you saying "It has always been like this", it hasn't. I've been here since week one (Sign of Founders on my Hunter) and I'll tell you why. Before you got shards and / or energies. You could use those to upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful. You got something out of it if you remembered correctly. Now, since you don't need ascendant materials to upgrade anymore, the equivalent could be seen as weapons or gear. You use high light stuff and upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful.
If you do a normal raid and complete it, then do a hard raid, or just do a hard raid straight then you have the chance of getting nothing which has 310+ light until Oryx. What was the point of doing the previous encounters then if they don't guarantee you items? And it's not like this is infrequent. I didn't get anything from 3/5 encounters last week and 2/5 encounters this week. How is that fair?
Also, those of you calling me "entitled", I am entitled. I finished the activity therefore I earned the rewards. If you disagree with that then why not just remove loot completely from every activity?
Edit: 250+ replies. Let's keep going until Bungie sees this
Gecko 77 made a very good point:
[quote]Players should always feel like they are progressing. They should come out of the raid atleast one light level higher than when they started.[/quote]
triplearod also made another very good point:
[quote] The main difference in VoG and Crota's End is all weapons were exactly the same so you had to only get them once, low drop rate is fine in that instance. Armor may have different stat roll but the maximum light was always the same
Now were not only rolling against the chance it drops, but its Atk/Def values, and its perks. Im fine with the variance as it makes the raid more replayable, but something should drop even if it is a 310 hallowed pieces of gear. Maybe that gear will have stats & perks I like and is worth infusing up.[/quote]

Except you are guaranteed drops from warpreist, golgoroth and oryx.

I beat Oryx yesterday to help a friend, [b]and I got shards and a RUNE from ORYX.[/b] A RUNE? WHY IS THAT IN THE LOOT POOL?
-
Yup! Bungie wants you to keep coming back so they try to give you as less rewards as possible.

Edited by BigTime Big A: 10/29/2015 1:24:52 AMHard Orx is a guaranteed drop or two, completed it 9 times so far on just hard and always had drops the six possibilities and seen everyone with drops the rest of the times.. Of course first drop last Friday was a 310 harrowed handgun, but 3rd run made it up with a double drop on Orx of 320 auto rifle and 319 shotgun which I used to make a 318 pulse rifle with firefly and 317 1,000 yard stare. It took me 23 completions of VOG and almost 2 months before my first piece of raid armor on any character dropped, there is zero comparison between VOG loot and KF

Eh it's just like getting shards or energies in previous raids. Idgaf. The only thing I wish was changed is Oryx dropping moldering shards especially when it takes 20 and you get 2 back -.-
-
There is no difference from the other raids You could get only 2 energy/shards at any stage of VoG (including the end boss). King's Fall is no different with RNG. Even the extra roll can give you 2 shards. Luke Smith talked about this a PlanetDestiny podcast

Stupid @ss Moldering shards. You Tards @Bungie really know how to screw up a game. Who test this $hit and says, "hey this is a good idea!" How hard is it to make a good decision? Bring that team to the forums so maybe we can understand.

Do me... I meant do it

Edited by Andrenden: 10/29/2015 2:09:22 AMYou already get guaranteed drops from each fight. It's called disappointment and you get it each and every time. You can even infuse it into "Nobody gives a shit" and make it "Nobody gives a -blam!-"
-
Spent over 2 hrs to get to and finish the daughters. .. got a whole 2 drops up to that point and over half my team got nothing off of them... so lame...

Come on Bungie sort this out, if there is no rewards then this raid will fade out like the ones your have already made obsolete (VoG, CE, PoE). Please make the following changes ASAP. Remove Moldering Shards from bosses All Bosses drop either Armour or Weapons at a higher light level than ones equipped. Remember what loot has already dropped and offer different ones (as your said before TTK was released) Beating Oryx with 20 Moldering Shard guarantees 2 drops which are either Weapons or Armour or even both. Beating Oryx with 30 Moldering Shard guarantees 3 drops which are either Weapons or Armour or even both. Beating Oryx with 50 Moldering Shard guarantees 4 drops which are either Weapons or Armour or even both. these small changes will also help ppl not mind getting Moldering Shards on the Raid as they know there is a purpose to them.

I'll have to agree, I've even heard of people doing oryx and getting nothing. Ummmmmm for some people that encounter is really hard. How would you feel, your first oryx completion that took 4+ hours alone and all you get is a emblem. I'd think about quitting destiny. We don't have to get perfect rolls or anything. But I expect something! But on the other hand rng has been kind to me, but I still get nothing on some encounters. It's just weird, hopefully they make a fix for this to improve it somehow.
-
Guaranteed drops on [i]every[/i] single encounter is pushing it. How about they just remove Antiquated Runes out of the loot pool.
-
i would not word that request so... angrily? ... but i agree that if you manage to down a boss in the hardest possible instance right now in the game, then you damn well deserve a reward. Agreed.
-
I have killed oryx (on heroic) 3 times and only got gauntlets here my usual run through Warpriest moldering shards Golgorth gauntlets Sisters nothing Oryx gauntlets Love you rng
-
Can we also have 315+ drops guaranteed? 311 shit is useless, man.
