I'd hope that they don't touch it until they also tweak a lot of numbers like Strike rep/mark rewards and the engram decode rates so that people don't feel like they have to find an exploit to progress.

Patching the cave is pointless. People will find another spot. If they want to address the cave they need to overhaul the entire loot system. The cave isn't even a big deal anyway.

When upgraded fully like every other exotic.
Awesome, thanks for this!

I spent a good 2 hours farming the Temple of Crotta entrance or whatever it's called and got nothing but a handful of blue engrams, and other useless greens. It's just as big a dice roll I think.

There will be a mass exodus if they patch out the loot cave.
The game is not good enough and does not have enough content to keep people. The loot cave allows people to rank up to play the tiny bit of "additional" higher rank content.
They should focus on fixing the game first. Make the loot system work properly, add in trading with friends, and do something about the abysmal repetitiveness of everything.

I think some of the areas in Old Russia that are locked up right now will open up free of charge. The Jovian Complex in particular is listed as a Strike, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was connected to The Hidden Swarm Hive faction you find putzing about the Forgotten Shore and The Grottos. The Seraphim Vault in particular (via Bunker RAS-2) would likely be another Raid site since Bungie likes that name; "Vault of Glass", "Seraphim Vault" (Earth), "Charlamagne's Vault" (Mars), and I'm sure there's one on the Moon as well. Whether those other places (if they are Raid locations) are connected to incoming DLC is unknown.
Also, there are a few story missions that seemed tied to the Queen. Whether those are unlocked as part of her bounties this week's Queen's Wrath event, is anybody's guess.
Edit: Post below reminded me that House of Wolves is actually Expansion #2, so those story missions are likely that, which is too bad since I'd really like to go to another planet location for at least one of the expansions. Love me some ghost hunting on Patrol

Better loot should scale with higher level mobs.
We should also get one high level zone, 24+ to patrol and do bounties in.

Good players make for good raiders, why shouldnt they get gear quicker to see some progression from their efforts. No idea where you got the idea I think "only" good players should net loot.
Nah man, first off, this isn't a (normal) MMO. Don't expect Destiny 1 to last more than a few years. Not only because it's not an MMO, but because they have already planned like 3 or 4 games, with two or three expansions every six months in between each.
That's the framework they laid out with Activision, and while some details of the original contract have likely changed, I'm betting the release schedule is prettty much the same.

Going to disagree with this, trading would be the worst thing to ever happen to the game.

Does anyone here have Invective?
If so, could you tell me which planet based materials you need for upgrades?
If so, could you tell me which planet based materials you need for upgrades?
I actually agree. I'm okay with coming in first and sometimes not getting anything. If the bad players are not feeling rewarded for their time then there will eventually be no players compete with. Though, after the latest weekly update it seems like Bungie will be addressing the PVP loot stream. I hope it doesn't get neutered.
There is a patch tomorrow??
Did you guys know about this? Supposedly it's all in the games files.
I believe those will be in the second expansion (and, by the looks of it, as some of those things appeared in earlier trailers, it's cut content)
Again, it seems like cut content. Does the Veil blurb relate to Rasputin?
There's also mention of a strike:
And the raids...
If itr's old news, sorry, it's so hard to keep up with this thread

Thanks didnt get much from it in 20 minutes or so just a few greens
sent you a request
Cool, will be on in a few
They've already "fixed" one of the loot farm areas
I doubt people are going to stop playing because a place where they can stand there and shoot while not aiming is going to be patched
Honestly, the loot system is fine, ya'll should be focusing on earning vanguard marks and crucible marks for gear
Yeah, but that one is REALLY a bullshitty exploit. They clearly want you to really work for those exotics unless of course you're part of the 1% that stumbles upon one randomly.
After you have a set of legendary from crucible marks though, what is the point of those?
I capped my crucible marks earlier this week and guess what... I still played crucible, because fun. WHOA!

Just imagine the gorgeous skybox on Jupiter and Saturns moons Io and Titan, bricks will be shat.
These maps are definite though, may be paid DLC but they will definitely happen.
I'd say Mercury is next since it's already in the game.

This is true, but I can completely see why someone would rather spend an 1-3 hours at the cave and pretty much be guaranteed multiple engram drops, vs doing Strikes and getting a few engrams and MAYBE a valuable "mission end" engram.
No guaranteed drops from bosses or minibosses is pretty disheartening.
EDIT: This. I don't think the rolls should be removed or anything like that, but bad rolls after difficult strikes or legendary gear that doesn't look unique is just...bad.
As what...? I'm referring to farming for engrams in general
:-/ and marks, to buy the exact gear they need to impact their progression the most significantly.
my point was, say you do 3 hours and you do get 20 engrams, nothing but random chance insulates you from all 20 being non-usable or non-upgrades.
that's valid, though. I get the need to have the actual drop as a motivator.

Got it. No worries. I added you so if you need someone to roll with at any time, just hit me up.
Mine requires Spirit Bloom (Venus) dunno if all are the same.

Stupid Question, is Cave Farming better to just wait until you are level 20? I am level 18, but only want to do it for the gear and loot.
Do it now. You'll level up quickly and get some decent loot for your level.

I'll be able to do it in about 45 mins if you still need someone.
You won't get what you are specifically looking for. Cave farming loot is the bonus on top of XP and leveling up cryptarch, and easily completing bounties. Most purple engrams turn into blue items. many blue engrams will be worse than what you have. If you expect any different, you'll be disappointed.
And I farm a decent amount, so I'm no farmer hater.

Haha, nailed it.
Funny, I didn't farm and I'm able to do all the high-level stuff. How? Because I actually played the game and didn't spend $60 to shoot into a cave endlessly. So ridiculous. I honestly don't even know how to respond to his comment without coming off as a huge dick... a 100% correct dick, but still a dick.

Oh noes.
But I do hope they patch the game so that greys drop zero loot, and loot rarity scales with level and difficulty. And damnit, engrams should not be able to degrade in rarity, ever. Somebody smack whoever came up with that one. Then smack them again. Preferrably the smacks should come after a hug feint. Both of them.
And is it just my luck or do story missions provide zero rewards? Since hitting 20 we've taken to mixing the strike playlist and story missions on harder difficulties just for some variety, but none us has seen a single reward in the end-of-mission activity rewards screen.
Depends on the game's success and its legs I would guess. Nobody thought a while ago Microsoft would be selling Xbox Ones at a cut rate with free games. If the game is selling poorly or people are leaving I would expect free content to increase while the opposite can also be said.
I've seen a lvl 8 even, probably wanted to level up fast
