Hey, guys, let's calm down here and turn down the hostility.

The issue right now is that shards are rare as hell to get and you need like 87 to get to 30. The cave I understand but the Queens bounty now has no point for anybody with legendary helmet and chest.

If they give better rewards for missions and practically guarantee legendary/shards for higher level strikes then fuck if I'll take it. But right now they slapped the candy away and promise better things while people are left with a hurt hand wondering what they're to do until this supposed magical time.


I don't know what's up with Bungie and Destiny. Design choices makes it seem like the leadership from halo has all but gone.

GOD DAMMIT
 
"Since launch we've tracked down an issue which has made Strikes more challenging than originally designed by both increasing damage taken by players and decreasing the damage inflicted by players on the boss. Expect to see this addressed soon, and for Strikes to become a little less grindy as a result"

Best news.
 
Thorn and Bad Juju have disappointed many of us who have gone through the great effort to obtain them because, despite looking and sounding amazing, they feel underpowered. We're here to offer some advice: don't shard those guns. Their time will come.

Got to finish dem bounties.

Seems like although they're going to add voice chat to matchmade missions, they won't be adding proximity chat in the tower or patrol mode, which is a damn shame. Imagine players gathering in the Tower just to chat about their accomplishments. Or someone telling you where they just found a chest while exploring the Moon. One of my biggest problems with the game.

that would be cool, but the amount of messages i get from playing in the crucible leads me to believe that all i would hear is people shouting slurs and penis all day
 
Glad I got the last 2 ascendant shards I needed to get to 28 from Queen's armor last night. Bungie's next step will be to ban everyone that gained levels with shards from her gear. Seriously though, I guess it's not that big a deal. The cave nerf was coming, we all knew it.

I guess the best way to get ascendant material is the daily heroic and the raid? And maybe the weekly strike or nightfall? I've gotten strange coins from nightfall but not shards. There's always lucking into them as well. Good thing is I don't have to waste my time on those bounties now.

So them saying they designed some systems poorly and promising to address these issues is a bad thing now? I thought that's what people wanted? Bungie has responded to some of the criticisms, so now that's not good enough?

I can understand not wanting them to nerf the loot cave before tuning loot drops, but at least give them credit here.

Do you know why people farmed the cave? You have to fix the cause of it, and not fix the solution.

The reason people farmed the cave was for multiple reasons-
Best way to get loot in a timely matter.
Because of that, it offset the majority of issues with the legendary engram not being so...legendary.

The latter caused the former.(Or should I say...the farmer). If Bungies loot system was fair, then people would've never farmed the cave as an easy way to get guaranteed loot.
 
This may seem like an opinion from the fevered brain of a madman but I enjoy playing the game to play the game. I don't need a carrot dangled in front of me for everything. Sure, it adds a bit of extra spice into the mix but that spice fires both ways, if I score something, it's all happy happy joy joy but, if I don't, it's darkness and flames. However, just playing, and knowing I'll eventually be able to buy something works too. The grind of strikes, patrols, and public events, isn't too grinding to me because I enjoy them, because I think Bungie nailed the core game mechanics very well.

Part of me just can't connect with the "Bungie took away my reason to play!" rage. Isn't the reason to play to play? Even if you get all the exotic and legendary loot you can handle, isn't all that to use in the game by playing it?

So instead of directly shooting 1000 enemies in the face to get some good loot, we should shoot 1000 enemies in the face except with some more running and time in menus in between? If they were forcing everyone to something that had more variety in content, I would understand, but the alternative is basically the same thing except it takes more time.

Yeah, I fail to see how shooting the cave is less fun than collecting 100 spirit bloom on Venus. At least the cave was an activity where other players were a bonus, not a hindrance.
 
MOOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRR

Today the Auto Rifle is too effective at long range, even beating Scout and Pulse Rifles in some circumstances. Expect stability and/or damage adjustments to the Auto Rifle to address this in the weeks ahead.

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.

During development we sometimes prioritized making a system functional over celebrating its rewards, for example:

The Vault of Glass contains highly coveted loot but the actual moment of reward happens without fanfare and can be easily missed.
The lowest level of the Daily Heroic gives great XP and Reputation rewards, but neither of these progressions appears on the postgame screen.

We will slowly be addressing these and other issues going forward.

Oh I see. Their solution to fix their shitty ideas is to better communicate how shitty their shitty ideas are, not to actually fix their shitty-ass ideas.
 
This is Bungie in panic mode because someone hit level 30 way sooner than they anticipated. The gameplay is fun and satisfying. Arbitrary barriers to endgame activities are not.

Exotic armor pieces are 13 strange coins a pop. Weapons vary, Red Death was 23, Gjallarhorn was 17. Exotic engrams are 23 motes of light.

Question: Are you guaranteed an exotic if you get an engram this way?

With the way my pickups have been going, it would turn into green boots.
 
What's funny is that there was more social interaction associated with that cave then Bungie's god damn fucking empty tower of itsnothing.gif
 
That stuff didn't sound too bad, but I can't believe for strikes they didn't mention making the rewards actually worthwhile.
 
Bungie you fucking idiots.

Please explain to me as a level 28 almost 29, has any use for the Queen's Wrath now?

6 legendary items that have no use a day?
Items for sale from the new vendor that are useless at this level?

Your first addition has proven to be USELESS.

Fuck!!!

Good shit up here.


Also fucking LOL at everyone saying they are done playing because their destiny time can't be spent shooting at a cave for hours.

That's so sad.

I spent no more than 30 minutes per visit at the cave. I got Exotics and Legendaries out of the deal so I respect the living hell out of that magic cave. I was done with it though so it's fine that they patched it all to hell.

The people that are done are the people that are looking at the picture as a whole, not just the damn loot cave. I didn't even do the loot cave and I'm done. It's the fact that Bungie clearly has no idea what they're doing. Well, correction, they may know NOW, but it's too late.

I will probably be back, as the game is a ton of fun on a gameplay/feel level. Everything else you can just tell that this is Bungie's first crack at it.

Its not about the cave - its about them thinking that THAT is biggest issue with the game and first on their list of things to do lmao

everything that bungie has said and done after release says that they have no plan or don't give a fuck if things make sense or not
