Legendary drop rates

[Vampiric]

The legendary drops need to be fixed or changed i get the game is going to be a grind to get what you need but legendary items are useless since the rolls are static you cant use them in most builds or you wont be able to play end game content since you will be to weak. and the drop rates are scuffed i have gotten about half of the weapons and less the half of the armor. and the amount of duplicates you get is outrageous i get the same weapons over and over and over and over its really starting to bore me and that's when you get a weapon since the game is clearly weighted towards class items you get armor 80% of the time and very few weapon drops. i like grinding for my build and i have made a good build to grind with but that doesn't mean i don't want new items for more builds. game needs some kind of drop protection the fact that i have about half of the weapons and those are the only weapons i ever get is not ok playing expos 2 days in a row 8 hours both days back to back runs and getting nothing but duplicates should not happen period especially when i have half the weapons the fact that the drop rate of other items is either lower than the rest or that class armor is weighted so high over everything else needs fixed.

nice run on sentence. Do listen to yourself though... "I got half of all the lot in the entire game on two weeks". Do you want longevity or not?

Not wanting to be an AHole here, but I can say that after 10 runs (raning from T13 to T15) I got maybe 8 legendary items? Do not forget it is a matter of RNG. (BTW, I did one in T15, Gold, got none, so yeah, it happens.) To be honest I find that legendary items are not that much of a big deal in this game. Yes, they give you the Tier 3 mods that you need for your builds, but once you have that.. I believe only the deva really has an awesome build based on set items.

I actually dont agree with games having legendary items to some extent because that usually supports the "Best in Slot" mechanic which is very detrimental to having any sort of variety in a loot game. Wolcen actually did a great job with their loot system ideas, basically some legendaries would help certain builds but you could still get a non-legendary item that was actually better..to me that sort of system is much better and open up a lot of variety with builds. We already seen a "BIS" vibe to some extent. like most people that run the Techno with pestilence are goin to be using the same gear and abilities pretty much, so right off hand..you see a techno..you know what hes running approx. 98% of the time. Just imagine there was no legendary items or BiS approach..youd see a lot more variety in ur runs and basically would wonder about the gear of players that you see just crushing it..basically legendary items and set items eventually instill the "cookie cutter" effect that just becomes lack luster and mundane..

its not about longevity its about the fact that the amount i have and i'm already getting nothing but dupes is boring as ♥♥♥♥. the drop rates are clearly not equal % because you get armor way more than anything else because the game is weighted to class items. i don't have an issue with a grind but the fact that i can play 8 hours 3 days in a row now and i have gotten anywhere from 100 or more legos a day and i'm getting nothing but dupes? lets not forget that about 80% of those drops are armor because the game drop class gear more than it drops anything else. also most of the time when i get a dupe its 80% class armor and if it is a weapon its the same 4-5 guns every time thunderbird / migrain / grim marrow / landlubber the other dupes are less common but regardless still constant dupes.

One... you can... stop playing. The only point to getting them is to farm higher end content to get a better chance at the same lo ot...

Anyway..

You could also get 3 Legendaries every roughly 45 minutes by doing the Hunt/Assassination/Historian quest chains. And it also gives you a metric pile of blues and purps as drops, the Hunt bosses in particular have a decent Legendary drop rate at WT15 (out of about 20 complete runs ive had 5 drop from the Hunt bosses) and you get 20 more epics from completing the quests.

its a 100% guaranteed Legendary at the end of every chain. Armor for Hunts, Weapons for Assassination, and either from the Historian.

If you're worried about legendaries, running anything other than CT15 or the questline trio is a bad time investment. That being said legendaries really arent that great for most builds and you only need 3-4 of the Tier III mods for most builds, if you need any at all.

in the first few days the game was showering us in leggos.... now its very hard to get leggo drops, almost seems like they nerfed the drop rate. Did a few 15 gold yesterday and got 1.... 1 weapon.... and a ♥♥♥♥ ton of blues. like honestly. a looter shooter that gives you no meaningful loot? wtf are wrong with the developers... made your cash now your done with the game?

Really I started getting legos consistently later on the game, even during the demo I got 0 after like 50 hours.

I did a few T13 on my Pyro and T15 on my Techno and drop rate seemed fine, might give it a quick go again today and see if it has changed

BTW the blues are not part of the loot pool, at T15 you cant get blues from the pod, only epics or legos, the blues you see are from the enemies you have killed.

Expedition 13+ and you'll see them regularly. Before that, nope, rare to very rare. If you're getting t15 gold then it's 4 chances at 25% for them to be legendary so you'll see them more often than not. RNG is a fickle beast.
