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,

Ok so its nice of you to post this here and not just on Twitter like Bungie usually do, so thanks.
And I appreciate your efforts in addressing this issue, you've already done more than anyone else at Bungie in this regard!
But I have to disagree that its working as intended, thanks for accepting that Heroic Strikes aren't working, but a 50% increase? Could we know what the base-chance is please?
I would generally get an exotic on each character while completing the Flashpoint, not always but mostly. I bought some 3oC and have not had a single exotic drop while using them. Take away the strikes I now realise I pointlessly did and that's about 6 hours for nothing.
Then the other night I was on my way to an Adventure, no 3oC active and there was a heroic event nearby. Boom exotic.
Yeah sure its all RNG and chance etc, but with my own experience and reading everyone else's is sure seems like they actually have the opposite effect than they are supposed to have.
