Wait, they're nerfing sharding queen legendaries? Where is the note? It's not in the patch notes.
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.
Yup.
No more ascendant mats from Queen legendaries.

So much salt in here, makes me laugh. Quick, everyone jump off the bandwagon.
Wasn't ever a fan of the loot cave anyways, it wasn't the way they wanted the game to be played. They will fix the issues, just give them time.
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.
THE MAIN TWO ISSUES!
1. Bungie ruined this event
2. They focused on fixing all this loot stuff first instead OF FIXING THE FUCKING RAID!!!
YOU FUCKERS!
the breaking down of (almost) guaranteed purples was an exploit.

So now that loot cave is nerfed, what's a not-quite-level-21 supposed to do to get to level 21 and beyond?
You are in luck. It's always been there. Player names with supers are highlighted in gold.i'd like to see a visual tell of when a player super is available to use in crucible

People skilled with it should be rewarded, fuck this.

Balance
Our goal when balancing Destiny is to never have one player choice-- for example a choice of class or weapon-- either be so much better than the alternatives that it is the only valid choice or to be so much worse that it would always be a mistake to choose. When we are successful with this kind of balance the result is a wide set of equally compelling player builds, some of which may be preferred by one player or another but none of which is an absolute right or wrong choice.
I'm still more made that the level 28 Weekly Heroic can give better rewards than Nightfall.
almost every other weapon class is completely fine and equally viable. I bet ARs will STILL be dominant after whatever nerf this is, too. ridiculousComplete bullshit. Make the other weapons better, don't nerf one. Just an easy fix because Bungie doesn't know how to balance a game for eons now.
Strange Coins is one of the rolls you can get from the nightfall. (it also gives a bunch of rep). I still think it's a good reward.Uh, what? I did the weekly heroic on level 28 and got 9 strange coins, some marks and some rep. Nightfall is basically guaranteed to give legendaries/exotics......?

Their update is quite encouraging.
They care about their game. They are self-aware of their creation and it's flaws.
I feel confident they WILL fix the mechanics and make constant tweaks.
The only question mark is content.

To me, it's really about how they patched out the only quick way to progress through the end game stuff. Now it's going to take me much longer to get to level 26 and the raid/later strikes. And there's no alternative that gives loot at nearly a similar rate.
im pretty sure the ARs got nerfed coming out of the beta
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.

Does the first moon mission grinding still work?
"We've woken the Hive!"
Ok, man, I love this game too, but now it seems like you're running defense here. Are you really satisfied with this change? They nerfed something great without adding any substitute back in, other than saying "soon." If I have to worry every day that I'll be less efficient with only vague promises of eventual reward, why the hell should I keep playing?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.
I'm disappointed they didn't address Matchmaking for Heroics and Nightfalls. If they're presumably going to let us finally talk in those missions there's no reason to keep us out of them.
So Titans are getting a super buff? Lol
No salt here. I'm having a laugh at Bungie sending a tone-deaf mixed message to their player base.

Stoked that the result of the loot cave is that they are going to increase the rewards for completing objectives.
Seriously
and i was already beginning to think that if PvE AR performance showed or meant anything, then in Iron Banner ARs were going to be dropping off in damage harder than any other primary weapon
i don't think nerfing and buffing those two weapons at the same time make sense in the way that the crucible is working right now. just going by the last two days of precision weapon based bounties, its easy to see that a lot of people have no idea how to work without the AR+autoaim forgiving them after every shot
What i gather from the dev notes:
"Yeah so we are not perfect or the best, we're listening, and we're reacting. hang tight."
I appreciate them acknowledging problems and finding ways of fixing them in a way that promotes open dialogue.
I almost have 72 hours into this game already, expect a full review soon.

Interesting...http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Dev-Notes/en/News/News?aid=12188
This is the more important update.
TL;DR: Engrams are being fixed. Voice chat is being fixed.
He Who Shall Not Be Named
Long ago during development, the Cryptarch decoded engrams of a given color into gear of that same color. Early in 2014 we added randomness, both for better and worse, to the decrypting process. The result was that end-of-session engram decoding got a lot more exciting and the Cryptarch himself suddenly acquired a personality. Both of these experiences were positive additions to the game.
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.
