Worse!

But the game would benefit greatly from a trade system that had "One to One" rules.

Only allowed to trade an item for an item of the category and same classification.
Legendary for Legendary
Special Weapon for Special Weapon

That's terrible. I hate sniper rifles. My friend hates pulse rifles. And hand cannons. And doesn't need or want the legendary and exotic titan items he has.

Just add a trade option or significantly increase legendary drop rates.
 
Oh boy. You want a "positive opinions only" treehouse thread. That has gone so well for other games with divisive reaction.

This glass is half full....

In my opinion, there's not enough content in the game to justify such intense grinding.

I'm on "rank" 28 with my main character, and I've been doing the exactly same things/activities, over and over again, for days. It's extremely repetitive, and the rewards are unfulfilling 95% of the time.

Honestly, I had fun with destiny in the first two weeks, but now it's like... a job. A repetitive, boring and underpaid job. I don't know, maybe it's time to resign...
At this point, if you've done the raid, I would say you might as well do something else until the content pack in December. Doesn't really seem worth it to keep playing, other than maybe level alts.

Log in once a week, do the Nightfall and Raid, play something else.
 
As someone who has to play this solo and has gotten a total of one single legendary engram drop (that turned out to be shit) all the way up to my level 24 char, the loot nerfs hurt. Finding good gear went form damn near impossible to "Yeah, go play something else" impossible for me now.

The game is only supposed to be played solo up to a point... And I've reached that point. I think these changes suck but the biggest issue is the lack of matchmaking in daily/weekly/nightfall/raids. At least with the cave and Queen I could level to a point to try and solo shit but now it will take forever.
 
Random question. What are the chances of getting a Destiny thread where whining about the game or attacking Bungie is ban-worthy? I mean, it's great to voice complaints and all, but this thread is becoming impossible to use for those of us actually enjoying the game because probably 60% of the reason this thread is getting an average of 10 new pages per hour is because people just want to argue. How do we get a thread where people who enjoy the game can actually just discuss it without any arguing?

so i can't enjoy the game and post my gripes about it?

most of the ore vocal people here actually like the game a lot - they just don't believe in speaking of nothing but rationalizations and silver linings
 
Bungie closed the cave?!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING?

I'm mad dammit. How dare they close the only thing in the game that provides some certainty as far as rewards goes. The game lacks an economy or any form of guaranteed reward system for weapons/armor. I wish there was a way to play the game without updating so I could keep using the cave.
 
sucks about the shards not coming from queens gear. I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get a bunch tue and wed. Will I be able to get shards from crucible gear?

lol it is not close at all... they decreases in 6/10s the respawn rate.

Just to be clear- It has been already closed?
 
It's not a big deal. You can believe what you want because it's not like it has a real impact on anything. I still feel like this particular scenario was considered an exploit to Bungie or else they wouldn't have removed it.

Then I choose to be offended by your calling me a cheater. Bungie didn't call me a cheater. They just disappointed me by specifically nerfing things I earned in the past two days so that they are now useless to me.

But you are now calling me a cheater for having earned them? Why?

I guess I should have broken down all the vests I have yesterday so that I could complete my exploitation of poor unfortunate Bungie.
I didn't exploit anything.

I wish we could get all the whiny kids to leave. Good luck with that. I was just made aware of the ignore feature so I'll be implementing that while you complete the unenviable bounty of clearing the immatures out of here.

On a better note, I'll be on in about 30-45 mins. Just hit lvl 27 Hunter. Looking to do something really fun like farm the cave. Hit me up if you're in.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I will be on in 30-45 mins though and am up for anything except for Nightfall or the Raid. I did Nightfall last night and need something a little less intense to start off the evening.

Well then they'd be wrong. It's not even close to being an exploit. It's simply people dismantling what they didn't need for shards which they do need. If Bungies gave a higher percentage drop rate for non helms/chests or gave more variety people wouldn't be doing this as much.

Please be satire.
 
Is it bad I'm considering leveling another toon just to be able to raid twice?

Don't bother, Bungie will probably just hotfix it so Mission Loot resets are account bound. They obviously can't have any players progressing outside of Bungies intended timeline.

They're thinking of ways to make you even more mad.

Delicious tears of sorrow are the greatest delicacy.

BLASPHEMER. ONLY I CAN DO THIS.

Kidding, in case it wasn't obvious.
 
If I was to make argument that Fusion Rifles need range and/or damage decrease along with AR's and Shotties what would be yours, Fusion Rifle users, response? I'm genuinely interested to hear your opinions on this.

Why hard counter weapon for short to long mid range should stay unchanged?

If you say "skill" can you explain that to me? Is there more to it than spamming right trigger to maintain charge and then fire from hip?

No troll.

I think they'll get one, if only because the Legendary / Exotic ones are going to slowly experience power creep until the range is ridiculous. I already hate that LIGHT/BEWARE or whatever one.

Echo chambers are bad. That being said, if people are truly upset, they'll leave the thread, slowly, but surely.

Eventually, this'll end up in Community as well. Generally, things are more optimistic there.

If it were an exploit then everyone agree that it was the most efficient way to acquire loot. However, almost nobody agreed that.
 
That's why I said... another thread?

Trying to make a safe haven on a forum would only neuter actual discussion and get shot down. This thread isn't just people drivebying on the game, people who aren't invested/playing likely have no idea about the patch notes or what they even mean.

Yep. Some people selectively read the posts in here, parse for negative, and then cry about it. I have plenty of praise for the way the game plays. But that's not what's relevant to the actual conversation right now. Everyone is talking about how the progression and loot is either boring or broken. People have a right to complain. It's imperious as hell to suggest that just certain subset of people need to pipe down.

At least with the cave and Queen I could level to a point to try and solo shit but now it will take forever.

Yeah, the lack of matchmaking in those modes is fucking baffling still.

ok
 
Yeah great Bungie, why would I want to do those bounties and Queen's Wrath missions again and again for 2 weeks. Because getting the same Legendary over and over isn't giving me materials anymore but instead class materials that I can get from lvl2 mob farming.

Kinda salty because I did those bounties this afternoon and when I did the missions this evening we found out the hard way itwasfuckingnothing.gif


Well at least me and by buddy had some good games with fellow GAFer Footos. Too bad we couldn't make it past Nexus in the Nightfall strike, but we were close!
 
Are we going to have a Cave Withdrawal thread? Feels like we should. Met a few cool dudes there, more than I can say for anywhere else in this game.

We need to do a cave sit in... just go and hang out where the drops used to fall and reminisce. Maybe dance a little and point out where we got that sweet purple that turned into 2 blues.
 
I think patching the loot cave will actually help people get light levels faster.

It is crazy how many people thought that was an effective way to get legendaries. People should be maxing their vanguard and crucible marks every week. That will be way more fruitful than farming that cave for an equivalent amount of time.

I am a little upset at queen gear, but at least I am only 4 shards away from lvl 29 myself.
 
It's not a big deal. You can believe what you want because it's not like it has a real impact on anything. I still feel like this particular scenario was considered an exploit to Bungie or else they wouldn't have removed it.

Why would it be an exploit? How could they not realize that people would use the armor to break down the materials? There's not that many rewards. Baffling they didn't have it like that in the first place if they considered it to be a big deal.

destiny is the best FPS i've played in years

HOW EVER

there's all kinds of hadscratchers that just make me laugh and laugh and cry
 
If it were an exploit then everyone agree that it was the most efficient way to acquire loot. However, almost nobody agreed that.

The vast majority of people agreed it was the most efficient way to level up legendary gear. If that wasn't the case then there wouldn't be such a big uproar about it.
 
sucks about the shards not coming from queens gear. I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get a bunch tue and wed. Will I be able to get shards from crucible gear?

Just woke up...wtf no more shards from Queen's gear? What do you get from dismantling them?

Where else can we get shards from?
