Orange-level drop rates?

[Nightbreeze]

ok, u guys talk of orange items and legendary items .
may I ask what game ur playing , cause it cant be this game . I have never seen 1 of those from any source in this game .
if anyone who has 1 of those plz flag me down at a arkfall and show me what it looks like . so I know what 1 looks like should I happen to see it .. oh , no I wont hold my breathe til I do .

so here's to hoping orange and legend gets better . btw ,I am at 2092 ego

thanks and I hope everyone gets a orange weapon for schtako n giggles , (how ever its spelled)

I agree...I feel like some of us are playing with our own loot tables from those boxes. I am lucky to get a purple out of a box. I've bought literally thousands and never seen an orange item anywhere. I am about EGO 1700. It's kind of crazy for people to say they haven't seen a single orange item till 2000 or so. Some people on the forum are less than 1000 and say they have gotten dozens. Something is just wrong with this picture...haha.

Legendary items can and will drop off all enemies in the game. But, the drop percentage is fairly low.

fairly low or fairly non existent?
I'm not aware of anyone that has received an orange(legendary) drop and I'm typically fairly aware.
I'm aware of a circumstance that causes white drops to have a red-orange glow.....perhaps this is the legendary drop ?

Fairly low = .00000000000000000000000000000000001%, lol!

On a serious note though, I do feel the drop rate of purples, as well of oranges, need to be increased. Out of the thousands of guns, shields and grenades I have received, be lucky if 50 of them happened to be purple. Only two orange.

Yeah, EGO 2095 and 31k kills... never seen a purple or orange drop from an enemy. That's "fairly low" all right.

I won't be holding my breath that I will EVER see a purple/orange enemy drop or that I will EVER see a Assassin, Cannoneer, Grenadier, Quartermaster, Rolling Thunder, or Stalker synergy mod until the game is patched.

Only person I've seen say they got an orange drop is Sledge.

A white with orange glow perhaps....or perhaps something far less innocent as deceptive glows.
I'm a PS3 Defiance player,3100 ego,6OK kills........nothing above blue.
Fairly low indeed.

And I thought Borderlands Orange drop rates were bad, then I played this game....You take into the consideration of everyone on the forums and no one has said they had an orange drop. Lots of people are getting at least towards 25,000 kills. Lets just say I dunno a 1000 people have gotten there. So 250 Mill and factoring in the one orange gun Sledge said he got....There is a .000000004 percent chance at an orange drop. And I think that is being generous...

Sledgehammer , it is nice of u to reply in this thread . I really mean this in the best way possible . Is very nice of u to post on this ..
I have 2092 EGO and 34662 kills and have not seen 1 orange item drop from anything .
I do agree with the thought that if u drop something to often then it becomes less legendary or important of an item . but . it would be nice to have at least seen 1 .

have a good day

I have actually seen ONE orange drop since beta .. and it made me VERY aware of the major problem with co-op maps having single person triggers that moved the entire group to a different map via a cutscene. Since before I could pick the thing up someone hit the button. Needless to say I was PISSED. Cest la vie
