Buried Bloodline - Most Broken RNG in Existence

I've been playing Destiny 2 for 6-7 years with the same fireteam of friends so I've had my share of grinds. But trying to get Buried Bloodline to drop has been the most painful and worst experience and to call it a grind is an insult to grinds. My fireteam started running Warlord's Ruin, aka Warlord's Disappointment, now aka Warlord's Ragequit when it first went live. We collected all 10 of the Ahamkara bones as early as possible to get the Exotic boost. Two weeks later one of my fireteam got it and a week later the other got theirs. Fast forward 7ish months to June after running it every week and usually on 2 or 3 of my Guardians for multiple chances. Monday June 17th one of my fireteam got their THIRD Buried Bloodline. Yesterday following reset, the other member of my fireteam got their SECOND. I have yet to get a SINGLE one. Caps intentional to highlight the ridiculous nature of this RNG drop. My complaint is not that I should have gotten the drop back in December. My complaint is that you have a "random" system that allows this kind of gross disparity in key loot distribution. I don't know how someone could look at this scenario and say it's working as designed and there's no chance there's a bug or flaw in logic somewhere. For my sanity, could someone from Bungie please look into this drop mechanic? Thank you.

    Thank You Cayde, I will never forget!!! - old

    Tell that to people who went 170 looted scourge clears before they got Anarchy It and 1k Voices were the most rare Exotics in the game, because they had a snowballs chance in hell to drop, before bad luck protection anyway

    • 38 clears after 7ish months? The math ain’t mathing. The RNG can be frustrating, but that’s nothing compared to what it used to be. Clearly the pity system needs tuning.

        Sad because that gun is amazing. Being able to give yourself devour and weaken enemies with the strongest gun type rocket sidearm is great for any build. I hope rng favors you soon.

      • I did all the triumphs for the extra drop chance, got it a few runs after that. Then I invited 1 friend to my catalyst run, which boosts dropchance for the gun greatly. He got it first try. Then, when he did his catalyst run, my other friend got his. Might wanna write this down ;)

        • Just farm the boss, not the entire raid, just the boss, I farmed it for 2-3 hours and got it, pretty good weapon too

          • I’m so happy I’m not the only one here I hate being forced to do triumphs just for a drop rate buff that will never affect the rng whatsoever especially for ghost of the deep Ghost is the worst and I’d rather do one per week not 3 perk character Warlords is easy But for god sakes people IM NOT ESOTERICK Grow out of the flawless dungeon phase that belongs in raids much more honestly I don’t understand why bungie had so many easy drop rate triumphs except these two stupid dungeons have to have you make builds for soloing when you are under 5 light Have smaller damage outputs when in DPS phases It makes no sense And really derails the very fun of the said dungeon To make things worse How is WR having a exotic quest just for one exotic engram that doesn’t have use at all whatsoever in this dungeon They should’ve just made it a exotic dungeon booster actually so maybe we could just have some what of a praying leverage It’s rigged and unfair and I’ve ran these dungeons plenty of times and my sanity and happiness and appreciation for warlords has gone down the drain very long ago with how many times I’ve done it I even have highest DPS too

          • I know your pain. For Hierarchy of Needs, it took me 86 looted clears. About a third of those were full clears, the rest were boss checkpoints. While all my clan members that ran it with me to help, kept getting it. With Warlords, I got BB somewhere around my 14th clear and my friend cannot get it to drop, while almost everyone else that runs it with us, gets it.

              • You can improve your odds by completing specific objectives, maybe try that if you’re finding the grind frustrating. 38 clears is a lot but also not unusual. Anarchy took me over 40, eyes of tomorrow was in the 30’s but 1K voices was like 1/2 as well as collective obligation. It’s RNG but you can improve yours odds.

                • It should automatically drop after 25 completions, as every dungeon/raid exotic should. But Bungie are dense and can’t understand logic.

                • For me it’s the sword from Duality. Just flat out refuses to drop.

                  • I’ve had a problem with exotic weapon drops for a while It started with Vex Mythoclast… we ran VoG quite a bit… the same guy got it every time I haven’t tried much for buried bloodline but I’d guess it’s the same system It’s dumb, imo Make them quests inside the dungeon like Gjally was, there is too much RNG these days, it’s obnoxious

                    I’d like to see them leverage current RNG drops with some kind of balancing system, kind of like the “karmic dice” option in Baldurs Gate 3. If you go on too long of a streak (whether it’s good or bad), the game balances the odds for the sake of consistency. Fewer people will get raid exotics their first few tries, sure, but there will also be fewer people who haven’t gotten exotics like Buried Bloodline after 100+ runs of a dungeon or raid. I think the latter is much more important than the former. The game is meant for grinding on [i]some[/i] level.

                      • Do the triumphs that increase drop chance. It isn’t bugged because you aren’t getting it. Some people will take 1 run and some people will take 50.

                        • Did you solo flawless it for the increased drop chance? Or the other thing to increase the droprate?
