Fucking hell they patched the Queens shards, I just finished a mission and didn't get a thing for my helmet, came here to see this. Fuck bungie, do you want me to trade in this grind fest? The queens method was grindy enough, this is just getting ridiculous.
There really isn't much point in going higher than 28 unless you really want to do the hard mode raid.
I suspect the Queen's stuff was always meant to be a way for people to easily get purple gear for slots they didn't have purples for yet. Not really as a means for geared players to level up faster than anywhere else in the game. Especially when you consider the rep reward weapons aren't even legendaries. Seems pretty targeted as a "gear up" even for lesser geared players without needing to grind rep/marks for those slots.

Hooooooly shit - those timer increases are fucked. I have never farmed the caves or anything, but this means that random enemy encounters will be even less, too. Awesome...
Also, the first fix about lowering drops of engrams following a hard wipe sounds like a way to combat Nexus farming and Moon Door farming. Sucks, but whatever. The big issue is that it's going to hurt us who DON'T farm those things. As if engram drops weren't bad enough as is when playing "legit", this makes it even more shitty when you're in a group having a tough boss experience. Fuck you Bungie, seriously. Raid drops are also going to be fucked by this.
And I cannot BELIEVE they fucked the Queen's Wrath stuff up like that. Wow. Absolutely fucking wow.
I am just...Wow. And the "engram, voice chat, and more changes" that are coming...Unless they are coming in a few days, it's fucked. *sigh*

Needed as well. For the most part, if you weren't using an AR in PVP you were probably already behind.
so you feel me
never got Reaper of Souls
Oh my god you are missing out.
I actually made a couple of friends at the cave unlike the tower where everyone just stands around.

And farming isn't a lazy way to level up?
Better than nothing haha. It would of course be something you could toggle.
yes, but there is still a chance it won't be for your class
This should have come at the same time as the cave nerf, not after. Now there is going to be an INCREDIBLY boring lull of rewards until whenever this magically drops, which probably won't even be for awhile. And that's going to drive player numbers WAY down.
Now this pisses me off.
I live and die by the AR (for the most part)
If it's nerfed. I'm pretty sure it will change the balance of PvP as well.

These developer notes, just glorious. Give me so much hope.
Cryptarch adjustments, cave is gone, voice chat, less bullet spongy bosses, bad juju being buffed, balance changes.
Keep doing dev notes, Bungie. This is great.

i mean, there's plenty of places that are good to farm other than the cave. it's just that the cave is the easiest, most brain dead and most leechable. you could spend the same amount of time elsewhere and get similar drops, you just have to put in slightly more work than just standing still holding the trigger

I never said that, my point is that people used the cave to level up because of their crappy engram system. Bungie just kind of got rid of a symptom of their problems but didn't actually fix anything.

Bungie are saying (in summary)
- Rewards from the loot cave were not as intended. To balance this, they will be adding better rewards for doing actual missions/stuff
- Voice chat will be available in match making (opt in)
- Some Exotics are not 'exotic' enough and due to the grind involved, they will make them better
- Auto Rifles are OP at range. Shotguns too. This will be balanced much better
It is all there, read it - http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12188

Something that should have been in since day 1. I wish this game would have came out in 2015 and then we would have gotten the game that Bungie dreamed of.
H-hold on there. N-now you're just talking gibberish.

Yeah, those missions you've done at least three times already sure are great a fourth or fifth time. I love eating vanilla ice cream again and again.

I think some of you might like this, it pretty accurately describes finding a golden chest early in the game!

Missions
Reduced drop rate of engrams following a hard wipe [fixed in 1.0.1.4]
Sekrion, Nexus Mind.
There is a part right before you get to Sekrion where there is a whole gaggle of Vex that you can destroy in short order to get engrams and stuff. Then instead of heading directly to Sekrion, you head directly to your left to take a short walk off a long cliff and die.
Respawn and repeat until you're stuffed with loot, kill a boss and bitch at a Cryptarch about your treasure.
Now everybody dying will reduce the occurrence of engrams from appearing the next time they go through the gauntlet, forcing people to just get the fight over with.

no no no
instead of making strike bosses drop more than the occasional silken codex or loot consumable, #1 priority is to go directly at the cave - which is nothing more than a symptom of the bigger problem at hand. someone will find a new loot cave and have it broadcast wordlwide by the end of the day

This list. This list. So much missing. So much broken. So much will be fixed.
This is Diablo 3 all over again. Come back in a year after release to play the real game. Game was released unfinished it seems from this list.

^^^^^^^^ this
They released the Raid knowing it's a buggy lag filled mess. Their solution to fixing the end issue is no mission reward screen.

I agree that they should've rolled out the fixes at the same time they got rid of the cave.

Same, I was excited to try out the loot cave. Guess I'll stick with Diablo tonight.
So no more farming the moon missions, no more farming treasure cave, just do strikes/missions over and over hoping for a drop. Enjoy those cutscenes!
Fixes with no timeframe and no actual new content until December. How exciting.
I can get behind this
how will it work for those who already own said Exotics?
Will we see a stats boost?
Contrary to popular belief, Bungie aren't idiots, the game is all but 3 weeks old and people have burned out a lot of hours into the game already, and I bet they aren't all shooting into a cave.
Gamers are exploitative by nature, another exploit will pop up in time
yea its all there but it says changes SOON not TODAY. whatever though, one day this game will be what they wanted.
