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.

1 hour for the cave or 6 hours for a legendary? hmmm.
 
And that is what has happened to all of us that are enjoying the game. So you win enjoy your echo chamber.

The fact that you think this a battle someone "wins" shows your immaturity on this issue, same as the people who make a big juvenile rant and leave the thread. People having different opinions does not prevent you from enjoying something.
 
It took me 6 years of Dynamis Xarcarbard to get my thief gloves in FFXI, all you RNG complainers are spoiled I say. It's barely been a pay period since this game came out and people literally wanna be fully stacked. I mean, there is barely any content for level 30 players anyway.

Agreed.

Max your marks and get to level 3 with the factions. Do the highest level strikes you can for the weekly and do the nightfall once you hit 25. And of course do the bounties. Loot will start falling in your lap and you'll be buying it like crazy.

Don't listen to me though cave lovers. I only have 10 exotics.
 
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.


If there's an exploit, it's that the Queens Wrath gives guaranteed legendaries. But they didn't actually address that.
 
40+hrs
Mad grind
Several purple engrams
In the end? One purple helmet

Stocking up on dem marks now but if I don't have a purple by the end of the week I'm out

I enjoyed the MP but I guess since I'm fucking monster at the game I get matchmade with legendary motherfuckers who got uzi hand cannons and one shot fusion blasts and armor that can take a FUCKIN STICKY GRENADE NO PROB M8
 
Did they patch the treasure cave?

"It's not like you should listen to me. All I have is a mountain of gold and a woman in each arm. I'm the last person you should take advice from."
 
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.

Well that's not true. You can earn marks via Vanguard or Crucible rep. I have all legendaries (Armor). All have come from Crucible or Queen. All my weapons came from RNG via Crucible.

I've never even been to the Cave of Wonders. I hate grinding. I think it's plain silly. But I understand some pve'ers love seeing shiny loots fall out of the sky so I feel for ya to some minor extent

They should've been buyable after achieving a certain rank. Maybe inflate rep gains if they wanted to use it as a bridge method.

Utilizing Vanguard Marks, of course.
 
Give it some time. Destiny is better than Warframe was in its first month.

Although I don't doubt it, Destiny is also going to ask me to pay more money for content I probably don't even want, but will be necessary to keep up with the community. I just have very little confidence in this game. I've reached level 29 and did the raid up to the boss unsuccessfully. That's probably as much as I'd get out of the game until December rolls around asking me for $20 to do content that was probably cut out of this already bare-bones game to sell back to me.
 
What about the 'it's the hive!' loot farm, is that still good?

They nerfed engram drops directly following a hard wipe. No in-strike/in-mission death farm method works now.

Still decent for exp and glimmer, but that's it.

Time for people to actually play the game. Well, I guess there is always chest farming for those that hate playing.
 
Nullpointer, haha....

Holy crap, didn't DAX suggest the Allegory of the Cave, or something like it, in the last thread for the OT? That would've been amazing had it been used, despite most not getting the reference.

Dax = psychic.

(Assuming my memory is right and she's the one who suggested)
And people doubted me!

You all need to trust me more.
 
People don't get legendaries for 1 hour at the cave.
Sure they might get a legendary engram, but definitely not a legendary.

The thing is, someone very well could have. Or even on exotic after 5 minutes. Or nothing after 4 hours.

The cave was there to brute force the system. Low leveled enemies drop the same level stuff as high level strike enemies, so the only thing that mattered was a rapid click of kills. The cave just had the added benefit of also being in an area where a public event pretty frequently showed up which helped for additional materials.

The loot drop has been nerfed universally IIRC, which would include the Dark Beyond checkpoint farm thing, yes. The Majors were also removed as well.

Oh shit, the party wipe making it so drops stop(or decrease?) do actually directly ruin that one. Didn't think about that.

You're 29 and couldn't beat the final boss? Huh.

Think ten dollars less.

Unless you /want/ the expansion pass.

They may have, or they may have not. I just honestly don't see how Bungie wouldn't have considered this particular scenario an exploit considering they took it down. I already acknowledged a while ago that it was probably more flawed execution by Bungie, but if they honestly didn't intend on it being used in that way then I just don't see how the cave could be considered an exploit and not the queens wraith thing.

Avoiding the question? What did I do to you? Did I wreck your enjoyment in some way by completing like twelve queen's bounty missions and helping other people out?

You're the one acting offended for no reason. I don't care what you do.
 
1 hour for the cave or 6 hours for a legendary? hmmm.

people should use the vendor system!

that's horribly explained!

that you can't share rep between characters with!

and is capped at 200 narks total but nobody knew this because bungie never said anything!

Nah, it should just RNG an engram which you will have to RNG to decrypt after doing an RNG mission.
 
Is this real? I never got more than 2 or 3 Spirit Bloom.

Where is this loot?

Head left, from the spawn on Venus.
There are several caves near where all the Fallen spawn.

It's pretty random. I once found a legendary engram in a random chest on the Moon.

You'd think they'd just show a denominator?

Seeing something like 55/200 would make that known instantly.
 
I conflicted about the cave.. it was there so I used it.. because it was guaranteed drops. Yet... I'm level 21 and haven't even completed the story missions.. as they suck so much.

I really like patrol and strikes.. but crucible is blah.. and the missions are crap.

Honestly if they structured the missions more like Borderlands where they were just part of patrol it'd feel so much better.. but the way they did it just makes it feel like work to do missions.. not part of the overall what's going on.
 
And it's the easiest way for lv 20s to GET legendary gear, those cheaters.

You're making no sense now. It was the easiest way to get legendary gear and still is. Bungie didn't take that aspect of it out, nor did I imply that aspect of it was an exploit. Stop reaching. It's like you're going out of your way to try to be offended.
 
Jesus. Everyone chill out. This is a fucking video game. Play it and enjoy it or simply don't play it. No need for bitching, moaning, etc.

No solutions, only finger-pointers. Talk about a microcosm of society. I honestly feel bad for some of the posters on here. To get this worked up about a hobby, shit, wait til you get in the real world and school/college/mommy/daddy aren't there anymore to kiss your boo-boos.

Excuse the rant, but Jesus, some of the people here need to grow up and step out of their shell a little. There are "differing opinions" and there are douchebags with opinions. This thread has a lot of the latter today.
 
To get the queens gear so that you can wear it and look awesome?

Isn't that the entire point of loot games?

Get loot, look cool.

Ah yeah, about that: Hey bungie, why'd you make the Queen epic helm for Warlock the same model as every helmet I had since level 6? Artists had to take a holiday? I wish I was exaggerating but I did low level sepiks prime for bounty and got the exact same helm today.
 
Agreed.

Max your marks and get to level 3 with the factions. Do the highest level strikes you can for the weekly and do the nightfall once you hit 25. And of course do the bounties. Loot will start falling in your lap and you'll be buying it like crazy.

Don't listen to me though cave lovers. I only have 10 exotics.

I've been doing the following since launch, and so far only 1 exotic. My luck kinda sucks.
