i've been playing a few different things (Daily missions, strikes, crucible) and i've gotten 3-4 legendary drops just from completing them, previous to this, i rarely got anything. Can anyone else confirm this?

I think they said they increased drop rates / changed the loot tables. I know they definitely said they did for Crucible in the big HoW pre-release patch. It's still an RNG thing, though, and I'm still getting a bunch of blues. I'm at about 4 drops too. I think 2 of them were from cryptarch and vanguard rep packages, one from strike and one from Prison of Elders along with an exotic.

I know for Crucible they doubled about everything for it, rep earned, marks earned, chance of gaining gear. I also got my first legendary via blue engram with HoW as well as finding a couple legendary engrams and an exotic in the PoE. The game does seem much more generous now.

You can all thank me since they apparently halved my personal chance to double everyone else's, because engrams are raining down for my friends, but I haven't gotten shit but a half dozen Tokens of Identity that I can't use.
