Oh cool, so I don't have any reason to keep doing these queen missions on my level 27..
Destiny |OT5| New patch out Tues., Master Rahool reportedly crying into his robes

I was bit taken aback by the amount of stuff they addressed in the developer notes. It's clear they read the reactions. What's also clear is they're tone-deaf on how to handle it.
Now it's just funny to me. I can only laugh at how the "communication" thing with the Cryptarch is absolute bullshit.

People skilled with it should be rewarded, fuck this.

right? lol
Yeah so there is no reason for me to be wasting any time with the Queen event. Back to Vanguard and Crucible bounties, oh well.
At first I figured this event and dismantling the rewards to generate shards was Bungie throwing us a bone, but obviously that was not their intention.

Queen's Wrath gear not giving shards is seriously bullshit. Why the hell should I even care about this event now if I'm level 27? A shader and a ship that don't do anything?
*sigh*

Just saw the hot fix lol. Bungie has some balls, I'll give them that. They can take the time to nerf all these different farming methods but they don't touch their broken as fuck loot system. The nerfing of the Queen's Wrath ascendant materials is just a final kick in the sack.

Oh man, if the AR/shotgun nerf and SR buff happen at the same time as the Iron Banner, Bungie is going to be in a world of verbal shit.
Tbh, this is what truly upsets me.
I used to think it'll be fine not to have matchmaking for the raid or for nightfalls or the weeklies.
Nah, after doing them, I can't see why we don't have matchmaking.

So is there some kind of wonky delay/lag when meleeing in the crucible. I keep using melee only to have the person not die until like 2 seconds after i knife them which usually ends up with them getting a hit in on me before they die sometimes killing me.

As a girl playing online, opt-in is for the best.
So frustrating - I've been doing daily public events and I just keep getting ascendant energy. I've had my gauntlets maxed out on EXP but couldn't upgrade because I kept lacking shards. Now the only surefire way to get shards is to keep buying legendaries from vanguard and dismantling them. But there's a damn cap for crucible marks.
This game man.
They released whatever they had available. We're playing the whatever version of Destiny.
So far I've been getting really lucky with this game. Since I primarily just stick to Crucible. I am going to try to get my Vanguard up to rank 2 at some point though.
I never visited the Cave of Wonders. I was always curious about it. I was even going to create an alt and level him up fast there. But I was too lazy to do that much. So never got spoiled by the cave. I always thought it would be more fun to drag a lowbie alt into Crucible and gradually level him up there whenever I max out my Crucible marks
I thought the Queen's Wrath bounties were a mind numbing grind (those 200 Fallen crap). Last night I did 3 Queen's Wrath missions and got some legendaries. Fortunately I even dismantled my spare Queen's Wrath helm.
I hope they dont ruin ARs though when they nerf it. I love using them for long range. They can nerf Shotties a bit though.
I really hope they dont start nerfing pvp left & right. Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is right around the corner though and I am fairly confident the less ambitious CoD games will have their balance worked out. So I'll be playing that a little too when it comes out. Been playing Destiny a bit too much (I love Crucible). PVE seems so grindy too me in Destiny. Wish the public events happened all the time. This random timer crap kinda blows
My summary on this game:
Crucible is fun
PvE is super grindy, mindless, and repititve. Bungie is stingy as shit with the minerals and resources. (edit) However I should add I feel they laid a superb foundation (shooting, powers, etc). Maybe they will figure out how to add some exciting PvE. If they just improved the layout of minerals in the zones and added more public events I would love coming to the zones. But as it is- I dont feel like I am apart of the world when I am in the zones. I am just there to get my daily public event and then I bounce asap.

Overall good stuff in the dev notes, I just wish these fixes were coming sooner rather than weeks/months/"this year."
and prox voice absolutely needs active in the Tower, ASAP.

same here! it's amazing and very telling that they had no idea people were just going to dismantle them. Speaks volumes imo.
AR is totally overpowered. I smoke people from all the way across the maps with a silvered hushwind. I'm not very good. Snipers will beat it sometimes, scouts almost never. It should not be this way. Bungie is correct in this instance.
Bungie, hire this individual

Nah, the original spawn time was 6 seconds, now it's 40 seconds. Yesterday you could've gone through the 6 waves of enemies before one full respawn now.
It'll be nice if the trade off was that they increased the how often the major battle between Hive & Fallen takes place in Skywatch. That's always a blast.

Everyone needs to stop focusing on the loot cave.
They fucked up the Queen's Wrath event and focused on this shit instead of fixing the broken ass raid.

Yep
The loot cave and the breaking down of (almost) guaranteed purples was an exploit. We all know how the loot system is supposed to work. You may not like how the loot system works (I think it should be friendlier personally) but it is as Bungie created it, for whatever reason they did.
They also just stated in the Dev notes they think that if people were using those 2 exploits that they need to adjust engram dropping in other area's. Obviously people aren't happy.
So all in all I'd say its a good thing in regards the Loot system in Destiny.
Now don't hate on me because I may not agree with you, yes I've used the cave for a little bit (under 45 mins total). I preferred to do chest runs, which is an exploit as well.
TLDR : Just trying to Point out Bungie is aware the loot system is broken and hopefully will fix it.

Too bad "the game they want us to play" has almost zero variability and never drops loot, hence roadblocking us from progressing through the end game.
No salt here. I'm having a laugh at Bungie sending a tone-deaf mixed message to their player base.
Where are those PS3 voice changer options when you need them?
I always had a lot of fun with those.

Kind of regret wasting shards on upgrading stuff yesterday after this patch.
Me too buddy, me too
I have faith in Bungie, as I like all of their changes so far. I'd rather not have to farm at a cave.Future PhaZe

AR range was too stronk
Makes the BR and Halo pistol seem underpowered by comparison

There is nothing exciting about the loot cave and the rewards from it weren't any better than if you were just playing the game and building rep from vanguard or crucible.

What? I didn't notice any issues clearing the raid the first week. I've actually been blown away at how smooth the launch has been compared to other online only games.
So now that loot cave is nerfed, what's a not-quite-level-21 supposed to do to get to level 21 and beyond?
fuck it's not that big a deal. if you don't want the shader, the class items, the rare weapons, the legendary sniper, or the legendary armor for another character, then you shouldn't care about it. move on.
Yea thought the same.

You're missing the bigger issue that we're pissed about, namely the way they fucked up the Queen's Wrath event going on.

Yeah, some people have reading issues.
Everyone knew the loot cave exploit was going, it's the queens bounty stuff that's baffling and zero fixes to the games problems with a "soon" blog post.
