In the future don't farm master lost sectors

#

@royal yacht please don't listen to Matiik. It's not ANY exotic.

#

Lost Sector Exotics work on a rotator and you can only get certain armor pieces on certain days, for example one day it will only drop Helmet Exotics

#

The next day it'll be dropping only Leg Exotics

#

And Master Lost Sector drop chance is only like a 15% increase: From 1 in 5 > 1 in 3 (i.e. 22% > 33%)
Compared to Legend drop rates

#

In addition to the above, to even get an exotic to drop you need Platinum score by killing all Champions

#

BUT

#

If you get an Exotic from a Legend Sector, they work on a checklist, giving priority to Exotics you have never acquired previously.

#

So for example if you somehow manage to get every arm exotic to drop EXCEPT Osmio

#

Then your next Exotic armor piece from a Legend Sector (on an Arms day) will be guaranteed to be Osmio since it's the only one you've never acquired.

pretty sure LLS isn't a guaranteed to drop something you don't have

#

it is heavily weighted, but not a guarantee

#

you may still get a repeat of something you already have

#

not my experience though

cunning crane
#

VSF works the same way, because all I needed was a single piece of Titan, Warlock, and Hunter gear. Did three VSF and got the ones I was missing out of everything else

slow wyvern
#

have gotten dupes when i've not gotten all of the exotics in a category

#

i know VSF is different in that you are guaranteed something you lack

#

so yes LLS are weighted highly to something you don't have, but it isn't 100%

cunning crane
#

Then you already had everything. I've created new characters and gotten the single Exotics I was missing from LLS and VSF several times

slow wyvern
#

no, again, definitely not

cunning crane
#

Again, it definitely is, you gonna tell me I'm wrong when I've seem it happen with my own eyes????

slow wyvern
#

i got sunbracers instead of briars

#

i'm not disputing VSF

#

i'm disputing LLS

cunning crane
#

I've seen it happen with my own eyes, several times. I think I know what I'm talking about with LLS

slow wyvern
#

i've also seen it happen with my own eyes

#

how do you explain getting sunbracers when i don't have briarbinds?

cunning crane
#

Lmao your literally telling me I'm wrong when I've seen the exact same behavior (from the game) repeated over multiple resets??

slow wyvern
#

again, i'm saying the chance to get something you don't have is of a far higher chance than getting something you actually have

#

that's what "weighted towards" is

#

so what you've seen doesn't exclude what i've seen

#

you rolling the high percentage doesn't make it 100%

cunning crane
#

I get exactly what your saying bro, I'm telling you over MULTIPLE resets I've never gotten something I already own when I was missing something from a category. Never.

slow wyvern
#

but you have not explained me getting sunbracers over briarbinds

cunning crane
#

I don't have to? I wasn't there with you, what you want from me? Mind powers?

slow wyvern
#

then i'll give you 2 possible explanations

#
  1. a bug
  2. you simply rolled the high chance of getting something you didn't have, and got lucky enough to not see the low chance of getting something you already had
#

so you're right that it is weighted towards the ones you don't have, but you're wrong that it is 100%

cunning crane
#

If it was a chance, like you say it is, it would have happened to me too at least once, and it hasn't. I'm more than willing to bet your game bugged out, because the evidence isn't there for the 2nd explanation

#

Even if it was a chance, and somehow I'm wrong, you've only provided a single example to me to convince me of what your saying

slow wyvern
#

well i'm not the only one who has experienced it

#

and yes, it has only happened once

#

but that's just what i take as highly weighted means

#

90%-10%? 95%-5%?

#

maybe even 99%-1%

#

unless bungie releases actual numbers we will never know

#

might be mandela effect but i do remember reading a tweet from bungie a long time ago saying that it wasn't 100%

cunning crane
#

I understand that, but your one time experience isn't reflective of all time. Once you can come back to me with information that proves your point, I'll believe you. Until then, I'm sticking with what I've got.

slow wyvern
#

agree to disagree then

cunning crane
#

Agreed

astral tinsel
#

I highly believe it to be a bug, maybe the knockout failed on certain exotics (isn’t coded properly)

#

Becuz out of so many times, it only happened to me once
