Three of Coins Functionality
Hey all,
Throughout the weekend, we’ve been monitoring player feedback concerning the recently added Three of Coins consumable offered by Xûr. We’d like to give clarification on the functionality of this item:
[quote][b]When players use a Three of Coins consumable, this provides a 50% increase to the base chance of being rewarded an Exotic Engram upon activity completion. Using this consumable does not guarantee an Exotic reward upon completing a set number of activities – but rather increased chances upon each activity completion.[/b][/quote]
[b]Note:[/b] We have found that Heroic Strikes do not currently grant higher chances for Exotics when using Three of Coins consumables, compared to Vanguard Strikes. We’re looking to address this with a future Hotfix, expected in early 2018.
We will continue to monitor and forward feedback concerning this feature throughout the holiday season. Keep it coming!
Later this week, we’ll have notes from the development team on additional feedback items that we’re looking to address in the future. Stay tuned.
Cheers,
-dmg04

Edited by kaioss: 12/19/2017 12:56:08 AMHonesty though, I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the 3 of coins? It clearly says that it increases your chances of an exotic, as such, it should be understood that an exotic is not guaranteed with every coin purchase.

1 ReplyThanks for the heads up but honestly just about everybody is beyond caring anymore. You have basically killed this franchise we all were so passionate about.

2 RepliesEdited by CookieNiki: 12/18/2017 11:12:10 PMJesus, everything is bugged in this game, unbelievable! Fated Engrams drop duplicates, Prometheus Lens had a bug, Three of Coins don't work, MOD's don't always activate, CoO Heroic Adventures are broken (completed the first one twice without getting anything from the chest) and I read somewhere that Lost Prophecies are also giving problems. Is this really a game developed by an AAA studio? This is f**king ridiculous! EA ME Andromeda ridiculous level.

The hate is deserved dmg04, the hate is every bit deserving with this greed cow you people call Destiny 2.

If the amount of energy expended in damage control was actually used in improving the game, you would NOT need damage control. The Titanic had water tight compartments. Sometimes all the DC in the world cannot save a floundering ship.

Edited by Popojiju: 12/19/2017 12:32:40 AMYou're still throttling xp too. Fix that as well. Don't say you're not, or that it's fixed. I ran hours of testing in public events. Winding cove, for example on the EDZ - first event 2450xp, second 2000. Repeating events yields the lowest number of xp unless you take a break for lord knows how long in between.

HAHA yes that's caps, no way I believe that ! by the looks of it the 3oC prevents you from getting exotics for 4hours !

15 RepliesEdited by roastbeefjowels: 12/18/2017 8:33:14 PMThis is simply not true. Here is some simple math for a hypothetical but likely accurate situation: Current exotic drop rate for PE: 10% Current exotic drop rate for NF: 10% Current exotic drop rate for HS: 10% Now reduce drop rates by 65% across the board: New exotic drop rate for PE: 3.5% New exotic drop rate for NF: 3.5% New exotic drop rate for HS: 3.5% Now introduce 3oC which adds 50% increase across the board (but doesn't work on Heroic Strikes (HS)): With 3oC exotic drop rate for PE: 5.25% With 3oC exotic drop rate for NF: 5.25% With 3oC exotic drop rate for HS: 3.5% Now can you see why everyone's drop rates are lower now with 3oC vs before the changes?? And I'm only assuming the drop rate drop before they added 3oC is around 65% because it is certainly lower than 50% otherwise everyone would notice a 0% change, one way or another, and Bungie's testers aka people who buy their products, have already proved a decrease at this point. And why not disclose all this? Why decrease their drop chance to begin with?? I just don't get it. Atleast I'm not butt hurt over the actual results bc it doesn't matter to me personally at this point...its just the principle of the matter. Bungie is on a hot seat right now...the last thing they need to be doing is slapping the judges wife.

2 RepliesSo basically broken. Blaming the player for misunderstanding how they work. Nice job.

This lying is getting sad to watch. Its like bungie learned nothing. Whatever, we'll see if they stick with that statement when the redditors produce another spreadsheet proving Bungie lied and the blog sites rip them yet another new one.

1 ReplyNot to diss you or anything Bungie, but just how!? Multiple people that I know, and have seen farmed for eight hours on public events: then got one-three exotic(s). These things are supposed to increase your probability by 50 percent? I don’t think so. Anyone who hasn’t seen: [url]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m7efJD5jImE[/url]

Edited by BegFourMercy: 12/18/2017 11:41:33 PMLol. Nice testing. You are and official FFF publisher. My 9 year old son produces code with less defects. How in thw world do you release fixes or items and they never work. Ever hear of QA.

Lol the number of down votes on this post must be astounding, it's locked to show 0 as far as I can tell.

Edited by DaShizzle30: 12/19/2017 12:48:44 AMI want a refund of my 3 of coins pls

1 ReplyDMG your post is not sufficient. There is more going on and your post doesn’t address 3oC and players findings in the slightest.

1 ReplyWhat happened to you Bungie? For three years we played D1 and all the expansions that came after. We stuck by you through so much content drought and such a lack of communication that is was borderline disrespectful on your end. We had so much faith in you that people bought into D2! Some people even paid for the season pass because they love your product and the universe you've created with Destiny. Now, with D2, we have an incredibly watered down version of what we loved. We have even less communication than with D1. I mean, people hate the PVP side of your game. Team shotting is destroying the fun in the crucible. Adventures are amazing! World quests are amazing! Lost sectors could be amazing! Take stuff out of the stupid Eververse and put it behind activities. How is it that most IB, Faction rally, and CoO gear is just lazy reskins, but the Eververse is stocked full of so many unique looking rewards? How does that happen?!?! You have people in the community actually calling for your jobs! How is that ok with you?!? You -blam!-ed up by getting rid of random rolls, you -blam!-ed up the crucible with 4v4, you -blam!-ed up by locking so much gear behind the Eververse. You -blam!-ed up by throttling XP then playing dumb. You -blam!-ed up by fixing said throttling, but doubling the amount of XP needed for a bright engram. You -blam!-ed up by locking people out of content they already paid for. You -blam!-ed up by locking people out of heroic strikes unless they buy the dlc. You -blam!-ed up by not testing three of coins before putting them in the game. Also, who even wanted three of coins back? You -blam!-ed up by bringing back D1 exotics! Stop bringing back D1 exotics. Our vault was destroyed!! You look terrible in all of this and it really doesn't seem to bother you. Take a page out of other companies books and learn about communication with your fan base. Masterworks give us reason to grind, but it's just not enough to put out this dumpster fire you gave us. All I want is for Destiny to be great. I love the franchise and I have a lot more fond memories than bad ones. D2 is beginning to tip the scales though. Please Bungie, you say you listen to feedback, well, show us. People have been complaining about you putting content behind Tess yet with The Dawning, you put almost everything behind Tess and give us 1 Dawning engram per character per week. That doesn't seem like you're paying attention. That seems -blam!-ing tone deaf! Please fix Destiny. It's sinking and you don't seem to care

So basically ignore 3oC and do not buy them until around April.... Gotchya.
-
You either mean a 0.05% increase or that you forgot to mention the drop rate was reduced to 1% and this brings it up to a 1.5% chance.

6 RepliesEdited by Y E E T: 12/18/2017 11:05:27 PMGod damn the Destiny "fans" are probably the saltiest group of gamers I've ever seen lol. Bitch when things don't work, then bitch when Bungie try to fix them, then bitch about the reason why it wasn't working. You can never be satisfied and any other developer half as committed as Bungie would have given up on you ungrateful fu*ks by now. Thank you for your commitment and transparency dmg04, and thank you for bringing us such a great game. Keep it up.

So i wasted a 3oC running heroic strikes. Makes sense now. Wheres my refund! I need more shards!!!!

Yay. Numbers. Thanks.
