The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm sitting at 11 strange coins, I keep getting ascendant stuff from my first event of the day and I have the feeling I won't get 2 more for Xur's next visit.
Oh well, at least I have no incentive to spend all night doing queen shit anymore, so I can roll the equally shitty dice at strikes or something. l e l

People that are complaining just don't understand how this game works. Bear with me. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to go past level 28 unless you plan to do hard mode raid. Level 28 can get had with 28 ascendant shards, 3 mark armors, and 1 exotic from Xur. This can be done in 2 weeks. Hell, the only reason to go from 26 to 28 is the lvl 28 daily / nightfall / and heroic weekly.
The real problem is the loot is boring crapola. There is no reason to grind for anything because its all the same. Nothing does anything. In Diablo theres reasons to try to get perfect rolled items, complete sets, etc. There is zero meaningful difference between anyone level 28-30 doing any content as they all have the same tier of gear. When people hit level 28 they are ALL going to quit because there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LEFT to do after this except hard mode raid. There is no upgrade you can get outside of it, nothing you can buy with marks/rep/coins/motes. Game is 100% over. They removed the queen breakdowns because literally everyone was going to hit this point in 2 more days if they left it in and there is no content they have available for those players. This extends that deadline a week or two max, but the same problem is there regardless.

Not a game developer, sorry. Not my job. Perhaps Bungie shouldn't have aimed to release the game with light content in the first place? They're vets of the industry. Foresight is always good, especially when it's your job to read market trends and anticipate player reaction. Making a game notably light on both story and playable content will be noticed, noted, and harangued. Rightfully.
Many of the game's systems make me feel like this game was developed in a alternate universe where Vanilla WoW was somehow still relevant to modern design.
And it's glorious.
Welp, my interest keeps going down. So instead of fixing their loot system, they made it even worse. Good job Bungie.
I usually skip those bounties if I can because there are much shorter ones that offer the same XP, but yeah thats pretty much the only time I play heroic.

when you are in a respawn restricted zone and you get 3,2,1 and the area resets.
people were doing this and farming stuff.

None.
But I think its useful for players who don't have anything Legendary yet. Though they're likely on level or lower and need to party up. Or abuse Restoration but Bungie will address that too I guess.

I can't say I'm surprised they nerfed the cave. I used it twice for fifteen minutes or so but I was far too impatient. Hopefully the distribution of loot improves.
Bit disappointed that they've stopped the shards from discarding those legendary weapons though.

Well, hold on there, your math is all messed up.
You're comparing what you see in a group of 3, to what you see in a group of 12. Even with just those numbers right there, you've already increased your chances of just SEEING an item by 300%.
The drops rates are the same, you're just seeing more rewards across a larger base.
We believe a hard-reset to be whenever you die and have to respawn at an earlier checkpoint.
This happened a lot during loot farming runs, so now the game will reduce your chances of drops for a "short while" after you respawn, in an attempt to thwart farming.

Also, raids only give you stuff once a week right? So if you run through it twice in the same week, the chests will be empty? Is that correct, I remember reading that somewhere.
Seconded - sitting at level 20. WAT DO?
Biggest load of horse shit I've ever read.

Well yeah, but if you ignore all the non luck based ways to do it, it's totally luck based. We'll never see another 30 again, at least not until January or February of next yet at the earliest.

I'm actually kind of glad they patched the easy shards out of the Queen's event. I found this really boring but I felt like I had to do it or I was missing out on something really valuable. Still might do a couple more to try to get a helmet with better stats, but it won't be a priority.

Better make Legendary Engrams have a high percentage of dropping Legendary gears then.

no.
they made it so drop rates on engrams are lower if you get hard wiped for a short time so people don't farm areas in strikes. The reward screen at the end is not affected.

*sighs* Shit like this pisses me off to no end. I'm sure you don't care about it which is good, people like that are about as important as the trash I throw outside to get picked off.

I'd just like to point out that in the video listed under VIP Patrols the guy gets a Thunderlord at the end of the boss battle...
Bungie... that
s now how your game turned out.

So 2 of us are looking to do the raid tonight, starting around 7 EDT. One of us has experience up to the last boss and the other one hasn't run it yet. If anyone is interested in joining or showing us how its done PM me here or send me a message on PSN (saveweyard there too).

Yeah Jerek. Your loot is what's 'locked out'. You can only get loot from the raid once a week.

A developer new to loot systems making amateurish mistakes. It's pretty common honestly. I'm sure in a few months they'll wake up and realize the loot system needs an overhaul. Maybe sooner if people start abandoning the game.
Take solace in the fact that with how one guy looks and how one guy spells, they won't be reaching any lofty height above burger flipper at mcd's.
Being a woman on the internet is hard.
I gave loot cave a week, it took three days from then. Shoulda taken the under.
I've enjoyed strikes but generally hated the bosses, due to how grindy they are. So I hope the damage fix is a substantial one. Bosses should be a burst of challenge, not a sustained exercise in patience. Glad to see the voice communication issues being addressed in some way as well. It REALLY needs it in the Tower, though.
Overall good patch notes and I'm impressed with the pace; this is the second hotfix this week. Hopefully it keeps up.
Not addressed is their selective matchmaking choices, but hopefully that gets some discussion later on.

I'm level 28, I'm playing daily. I guess I'm not people?
You're hilariously wrong about the loot too, but I'm not going to bother arguing with you about it. Either you enjoy playing the game or you don't.
I'm still pumped to play this later today and this weekend, but I'll admit the Queen's stuff being nerfed is disappointing, I haven't been able to play since the weekend and was excited for it.
I'm glad they recognize the flaws in the game, but I don't think they recognize the correct solutions for them, as well as which ones to prioritize. That may sound harsh, and it is considering the game isn't even 3 weeks old, but my god some of the design decisions are truly baffling.

Sorry, what? They're not being shit on for admitting they messed up. They're being shit on for messing up. The MMO thing isn't new and they're, technically, in competition with people who've been around for awhile and have already learned how to do things. In other words, they could've looked at other games and learned this.
Why are you twisting it?
Don't worry my friend, it will only hurt for a little while... improvements are coming "soon"... you don't need any loot until then.
WOW. It's really unfortunate you have to put up with that shit.
Just work on your rep and marks for Vanguard and Crucible. Strikes, patrols, or PvP. At rank 2 in either faction you can buy their armor. Save up some coins for Xur who will show up in ~14 hours and potentially buy an exotic armor slot. You can be 3 purple + 1 exotic armor slot in less than a week if he has a helm you can use. Otherwise you'll need a minimum of 8 days to roll over on the weekly marks caps.

Funny enough I'll probably still play today for a bit to level up my scout with bountie and do one public event. After that I'm probably done for the day unless somebody specifically wants to play with me.

Is there a way to tell what the upgrade to armor will be once it's leveled, kinda like weapons? For instance, what the light level starts at, compared to what it would be with defense fully leveled?
It was something similar, the Bungie update prompted a title change. :-(
