I play a lot. 6+ hours a day. I play on PS4.
Before yesterdays patch I would get 1-3 Legendaries a day. Now I get none. Zero since yesterday.
I do my 3 dailie Legendary contracts then spend the rest of my day doing all 3 Strongholds. All on GM1.
Maybe it's different for PC but I have not seen a Legendary drop since BEFORE the 3/15 patch!

My boyfriend had the same problem. I got two legendaries yesterday and my boyfriend got his first one(and he plays more than I do). Funny, he was playing a Storm with about 90 added luck and we ran a bunch of missions. He switched to a ranger with no luck and got his first one in freeplay (everything we did was GM2). I wonder if Freeplay has to do with it.

I do lots of legendary contracts and Strongholds and got maybe 2 Legendaries from them in GM2 since patch. Jumped in GM2 Freeplay today for a couple of sessions (until I reached 50 items each time) - 5 Legendaries. And loot the random chests in the open. They drop Legendaries and MW again, got 2 Legendaries from them alone.

I agree since the patch I did the legendary contracts and strongholds on GM2 (this morning) and got nothing legendary think 4 MW and a whole bunch of epic's, sadly during free play I have to run it on GM1

Hell, I ran freeplay for two hours and did three contracts (not legendaries) on GM1 this morning and got not one single, solitary masterwork. How am I supposed to get a build going for GM2 if I can't get the freaking masterworks?!

RNG can be a harsh mistress sometimes. Make sure you put some luck and hunt for titans and chests in freeplay, that may help your odds.

I opened three chests, did two world events, and killed a metric crap-ton of scars in freeplay. I was exploring, trying to find the last landmarks for a couple of regions, so I wandered all over. It seemed like world events weren't spawning much (two in two hours?) but my husband and son are playing now and they seem to get getting one every 20 minutes so maybe it was just the cruelty of RNG or Anthem just hated me this morning.

I do my 3 dailie Legendary contracts then spend the rest of my day doing all 3 Strongholds. All on GM1. That's the problem right there. Droprates have only been adjusted for GM2 and GM3 in general. For ALL difficulties only particular enemies have been adjusted. So it's probably just RNG messing with you because on GM1 everything should in general be as it was before (unless you particularly farm the adjusted enemies).

Titans are definitely dropping more gear/weapon. Fighting the one at Heart of Rage 3 times even in GM1 gave me my first legendary a quite a few masterworks.

Yesterday, I got a MW drop from Normal Freeplay. I thought they were only supposed to be able to drop on Hard and above, but maybe I was really, really lucky. Not saying this to gloat, just that there may be something strange to drop rates in Freeplay.

Not saying this to gloat, just that there may be something strange to drop rates in Freeplay. They drop on Easy as well after you get level 25. About 8 MW weapons are possible to be found in difficulties below GM.

Things seem stingier since the patch for me high end loot wise, also game stability has totally gone into the toilet the last day or so for me.

I do my 3 dailie Legendary contracts then spend the rest of my day doing all 3 Strongholds. All on GM1. Maybe it's different for PC but I have not seen a Legendary drop since BEFORE the 3/15 patch! So, whenever anyone posts about their drop rate, good or bad, we need to know: * What difficulty level are you playing? (Which you did, GM1) * How much Luck do you have equipped? * What do you do during your grind time (which you did: 3 Leg contracts, then all 3 Strongholds)? Someone who does mostly Free Play non-event dungeons on GM2 with 70% Luck equipped is going to see a very different Leg drop rate than someone who only does the Temple of the Scar Stronghold on GM1 with 20% Luck.

I do my 3 dailie Legendary contracts then spend the rest of my day doing all 3 Strongholds. All on GM1. Maybe it's different for PC but I have not seen a Legendary drop since BEFORE the 3/15 patch! As someone has said above, they only tweaked drop rates in general for GM2/3. Also, if you were getting 1-3 legendaries per day (we'll call it 2 per day on average), you have a 13% chance of getting 0 legendaries on any given day (assuming you play the same amount of time, do the same things, etc), or roughly 2% a priori chance of getting 0 on 2 consecutive days (however just because you got 0 on day 1 does not mean you have any less chance of getting 0 on the next day). My point is one day is not nearly a large enough sample size to claim that drop rates have gotten worse. I can say the same thing for most of the posts in that reddit thread. And to be clear: I'm not trying to argue that there wasn't some kind of bug or reversion. I'm just saying all the people that seem certain there was should probably be less certain given the evidence we have at hand.

To be fair, the day after I whined above I got four masterworks outside of legendary contract rewards and not only my first legendary but a second as well. No change to luck (something like 23) and still on GM1.

Wait what, 6 hours a day and only 1-3 legendary drops? Lol, I remember in my old destiny 1 days I could play for 3 hours and get about 5 legendary engrams. BW is being very stingy with the loot.

Apparently, some genius believes players have endless grinding patience. Betch'a players will drop out due to burnout "soon".

And got a promotion for it. When it works for him, why change it? 😁 But in SWTOR it was done because the game had no serious new content plans for the next few years and had to try and keep players busy with old content... *puts thinking cap on* Now why they would try the same method in Anthem, hmmm...

I do my 3 dailie Legendary contracts then spend the rest of my day doing all 3 Strongholds. All on GM1. Maybe it's different for PC but I have not seen a Legendary drop since BEFORE the 3/15 patch! I also play a lot and my loot drops are horrendous. I have played MMOs, MUDS, and many many multiplayer online games. I am used to paying the time to get gear. I raided in several MMOs and waited months just to get a CHANCE at one drop. However, I feel the drop rates in Anthem are not currently what they should be. I saved data - to provide an example. One thing I can say, I have never seen top tier drops occur so sparsely. I received some legendary drops the first time I played each level, i.e. GM1, GM2, and GM3. However, I have not received a legendary since. I spent most of last weekend playing grandmaster 2 and grandmaster 3 strongholds, and the data below just represents the information I started collecting after I started to become frustrated with the drops. lol Edit - (I am running with 90% luck) Level = GRANDMASTER 2 Run #1 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 3 Epic = 19 Rare = 5 Run #2 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 1 Epic = 13 Rare =7 Run #3 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 2 Epic = 7 Rare = 9 Run #4 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 4 Epic = 9 Rare = 7 Run #5 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 1 Epic = 10 Rare = 6 Run #6 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 3 Epic = 5 Rare = 6 Level = GRANDMASTER 3 Run #1 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 2 Epic = 12 Rare = 10 Run #2 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 5 Epic = 10 Rare = 7 Run #3 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 2 Epic = 13 Rare = 9 Run #4 Legendary = 0 Masterwork = 4 Epic = 9 Rare = 5 TODAY Level = Grandmaster 2 RUN#1 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 2 EPIC = 18 RARE =6 RUN #2 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 1 EPIC = 12 RARE = 10 Ok, the rarity for legendary drops is just starting to get silly, and my curiosity on how silly it can get keeps me going. Another thing that is not taken into consideration on these missions is that not every group is great. Some are just painful to finish a grandmaster 2 or 3 with. the time spent vs reward is getting me so frustrated I am ready to put this game down. Wednesday Runs LEVEL = Grandmaster 1 Run #1 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 2 EPIC = 19 RARE = 4 Run #2 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 1 EPIC = 21 RARE = 4 Run #3 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 1 EPIC = 21 RARE = 3 Run #4 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 1 EPIC = 17 RARE = 6 LEVEL = GRANDMASTER 2 Run #1 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 3 EPIC = 21 RARE = 3 Run #2 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 12 EPIC = 17 RARE = 4 Run #3 LEGENDARY = 1 MASTERWORK = 3 EPIC = 15 RARE = 6 Run #4 LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 3 EPIC = 9 RARE = 6 Run #5 - joined group on last boss fight - another fight that takes a while and is painful with bad group. LEGENDARY = 0 MASTERWORK = 2 EPIC = 2 RARE = 0 Level = Grandmaster 3 LEGENDARY = 1 MASTERWORK = 4 EPIC = 20 RARE = 7 in summation, (20 runs) 2 Legendary, 61 Masterwork, 291 Epic, 110 Rare Grandmaster 1 = (4 Runs) 0 Legendary, 5 Masterwork, 69 Epic, 17 Rare Grandmaster 2 = (11 Runs) 1 legendary, 39 Masterwork, 157 Epic, 75 Rare Grandmaster 3 = ( 5 Runs) 1 Legendary, 17 Masterwork, 65 Epic, 38 Rare 5 more runs today, with similar results. Grandmaster 2 = (5 Runs) 0 legendary, 15 MW, 77 Epic, 22 Rare. An interesting tidbit. In 25 Runs, I received 2 legendary, 76 Masterwork, 291 Epic, 130 Rare. in total, 499 drops. Rare = Power level 36 Epic = Power level 38 Masterwork = Power Level 61 Legendary = Power level 75 Grandmaster 1 recommended power level = 425+ Grandmaster 2 recommended power level = 575+ Grandmaster 3 recommended power level = 675+ A javelin has 11 slots, one which will max out at epic level (power level 38). To run Grandmaster 1 - 425+ + a javelin needs, at least, 11 epic = 418 power level. Therefore, to meet the recommended power level a javelin should have at least one Masterwork and ten epics. Therefore, rare items become obsolete. At this level 133 of 499 drops are unusable or 26% of objects received will be destroyed. + at grandmaster 1, one to two masterwork drops is common - per stronghold. Therefore, making the climb to grandmaster 2 at least 5 or 6 grandmaster 1 stronghold runs. + now epic and rare items become unnecessary for the climb to higher tiers. Therefore, 421 of 499 drops or 84.3% of all drops will be destroyed. Approximately, only 15% of all drops at this point are useful. Not taking into account the plethora of copies. I have noticed an unusually large drop rate on grenades and assault items, next most common is guns, and lastly components. To run Grandmaster 2 - 575+ + a javelin needs, at least, 7 Masterwork and 4 epic (a score of 579) + at grandmaster 2, 1 legendary item and 2 to 6 masterwork items has been my possible drops. However, to climb to the recommended power level for Grandmaster 3, a player will need one slot locked at epic (38), 3 legendary and 7 masterwork. I have run 25 strongholds and still have not seen 3 legendary drops. The two legendary drops I did receive were both assault slot items. Therefore, I actually can only use one legendary item I received in 25 stronghold runs. To run Grandmaster 3 - 675+ recommended + javelin needs at least, one slot locked at epic (38), 3 legendary and 7 masterwork. in my opinion <--- the drops I saw at grandmaster 3 do not validate the time and effort I have to invest in order to possibly get a usable legendary item. Sure, I received a lot more Masterwork drops at this level, but to become more efficient at GM3 I am not looking for masterwork - I am looking for legendary. Therefore, 2 in 499 drops are useful at this point, or less than 1 percent all of drops are useful. Actually, it could be said that less than one percent of all drops are useful once you reach GM2.
