Christmas Cave had to go and you all know it.

As far as the Queen's stuff goes.... again, it HAD to go. We all would of had maxed gear by next week. Doing the earth mission and getting 3 Ascendant Shards is OP and needed to be gone.
 
Why don't they just put a message in the main menu that says, "Sorry, Destiny is currently on hold due to you progressing too fast. Please wait a a couple of months so we can enhance your Destiny experience <3 Bungie"

They are killing their own game.

So they should add EVEN MORE padding and fluff to getting armor? Great.
 
You can tell Bungie has absolutely no idea what they're doing in the world of loot.

The whole system is a mess. Low level enemies drop the same loot as bosses. Legendary engrams are more often to be rare items than legendary items. Everything is a rep grind. No consistent way (now) to get high end upgrade materials.

They need to look long and hard at how they run their loot game if they want me to come back for Destiny 2.
 
The Monte Carlo AR has an extremely unpredictable and shaky recoil. It makes it impossible to get crits consistently. Does anyone know how much the stability upgrade helps? I love the looks of the Monte Carlo, but I'm fearing it might be worthless.

Bump. I too am looking for this info.
 
so whats the point of queen's bounties now?

there is like no guaranteed way to get loot from bosses to dismantle to level up our gear to get to 30.

is bungie stupid?
 
Can't believe they'd get rid of Asc Mats from Queen items. This game officially is about nothing but the grind. Cannot wait for the Fall Exodus when players have better shooters to play.
 
No Loot cave and no ass shards.

Destiny: grind baby grind

well uh i already had maxed gear before queens wrath started so
 
So did I understand this post right if I say that you are ok with this insane nerf patch now that you managed fill your own pockets with shards first? Also how it would harm game if there was multiple 29's?

It just would be more warm bodies into the VoG runs => Easier to get into PUG's.

insane nerf? I think it was clearly being abused.

EDIT: This thread will be interesting for a few pages.
 
Pretty lame that they nerfed the cave and are seemingly continuing to make it more difficult to get good items in a game that is already laden with bullshit in that regard.
 
They nerfed all farming but didn't fix the ridiculous odds when decrypting purple engrams? I guess the only option now is grinding faction reputation.
 
Hey, guys, let's calm down here and turn down the hostility.

But we didn't adequately communicate the potential random outcomes of decryption. Players see what looks like the familiar metaphor of item identification, while the Cryptarch thinks he's opening a grab bag of loot. Rage sharding of blues ensues. Expect to see changes to address this soon.

But shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities.

Queen's Wrath Event

Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items

Wow seriously Bungie? I THOUGHT that was the entire point of the Queen's missions for us. I'm glad I hit level 28 yesterday with this bit of apparently undesired help. There is no point to doing the Queen's garbage anymore then.
 
I'm sure this patch will piss a lot of people off, but I can't imagine Bungy intended for either the cave or the Queen's Wrath to be used the way it was.

The upgrade system is based on breaking down legendaries.

You mean Bungie wasn't smart enough to realize people would break down the mission reward armor?

Bungie screwed up by giving guaranteed legendary drops each mission. If it were limited, we wouldn't be discussing this this.
 
how about lower the shards from 3 to 1

nope.. fucking GONE good job poopsockers you guys got the easy route.

I wont see 3 shards for god knows how long.

How can they not? They programmed the Queens bounty to give us mainly chests and helms, they also added in shards when dismantled. I mean, what else did they think was going to happen? Are they running this game half asleep?
 
So the PS3 to PS4 upgrade option is only with the digital version right? There's no way to upgrde if you have the PS3 disc version like they did with Assassin's Creed 4 at launch?

If you already have legendary helm/chest, there is absolutely no fucking point in doing the Queen's bounties. Unless you want the useless stuff the vendor is selling
 
I'm glad I was able to get to level 28 before they did this.
Me too, and glad I decided not to spend shards to upgrade to 29. I have enough now but saving them until I get raid gear. They just got a massive rarity spike. I had one extra chest plate I was waiting to dismantle, should have done it last night.

Wait, so now I have NO reason to do the queens stuff? Nice content, Bungie.
Not if you already have all legendary gear and backups for your exotics. For me though, every chest plate I got had better stats than the last. Every single one.

The problem here is that the struggle to get from 24 is real.
Seriously. That deadzone that's level 24? It just got a whole lot worse.
People 26+ can at least get materials from doing heroics and the raid.
Yup. I will help carry some through weeklies and heroics if needed.

The problem is you'd have to be incompetent to not see them being abused. Like, we're talking MMO 101 stuff here.

Maybe that's why they kept actively insisting it wasn't an MMO, they have no idea what the Players do in them?
 
hey now, that sniper rifle could come in handy. especially if you need a stronger weapon that does arc/solar/void damage

I'll admit that The Supremacy is pretty nice. I was mostly referring to the lame weapons you get by increasing the Queen's Reputation.

Yea I agree with you in that they both had to go... But at the same time removing shards completely wasnt the way to go since you already had them in place (they should have seen it coming). It renders the "special" event completely useless. Probably should have nerfed it to 1 shard per legendary or something instead so it's still something but not completely broken.
 
It's to help players who are Level 20 to get to 24.
its not even the best way for level 20 players to get to 24 because level 20ish players can still get to 24 on nothing but rare gear which the strike playlist provides on top of rep and marks with MUCH less difficulty as well.

qw helped people get past the 24-27 hurdle more than anything else.
 
I can't see what the problem was with getting ascendant mats from the Queen event. Maybe I'm being short-sighted, but that only helped everyone out by not allowing us to get a paltry amount of mats every day from the heroic daily. The event itself? I'll admit I was against it at first, but it's fine for getting people ready to do the raid.

But wtf Bungie. Goddamn.

Also, how can there be an economy in the game when players can't buy things off one another?
 
Fuck you Bungie!

Your response after all the negative feedback for the loot system is

"You'll eat the grind and enjoy it!"

Wow.

You are doing nothing but pissing us off. The fact that the raid is a god damn disaster of lag and glitches is laughable. Not to mention that raid gear isn't event guaranteed doing it.

For the first time since launch, I am seriously considering being done with the game.
 
Despite having fun with it, I feel like I bought an incomplete turd and should've waited a year or more. How can they not know people would break down the queen's legendary armor? Are they even fucking familiar with the game they're making? I feel like I paid to test alpha code.
 
Holy shit they stuck a couple boulders on the hill overlooking the cave :\ That cave was literally the best thing going for Destiny right now :(
 
Hey, guys, let's calm down here and turn down the hostility.

Sure, social engagement.

....WHAT SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT!? There is no chat, there is no viable way to communicate or socialize in game outside of people you know. And you know it, and Bungie knows it, and....

...what's the point of the game at this point if not for the loot?

EDIT-Oh thank god voice chat. You're on the right path, now take it Bungie!
