Killing off the cave is them chiding players.

I get what you mean. All I was saying is that they could have straight up blamed people in an obvious way but chose not to. I'm trying to find some positives out of those mostly vague and self-apologetic developer's notes.
 
does the bounty take into acct your prior kd? because I'm prolly well above that on avg and is that 2.5 or 25 because im figuring 2.5
It carries from match to match, but it does no take into account prior stats.
Edit: its also 25 k/d spread, no ratio, you have to get 25 kills more than deaths.
 
So if I get to a hard part of the game and die a few times, my chances of getting any loot anymore is nerfed? I dont know how I feel about this.

Finally got something new from the queen's bounty (chest) and my 4th helmet.

I think ill hang on to it instead of throwing it away since i reckon they will cave in and make dissembling it give a reward again soon, just not something as valuable as a shard.
 
What is the point of Queen's Wrath now? What point is there in doing it after you got the couple of legendary pieces? I was actually making progress with it. It kept me from cave farming. Does Bungie really think it is fun to play those missions over and over again to get the same two pieces of armor or sniper that now can't be dismantled for anything good? Is Bungie going to subvert anything fun people do outside of their plans?
 
What's the difference? Bungie intended and still intends for it to be the easiest way to actually get legendary gear.

And legendary gear breaks down into ascendant mats. Most of it still does.

Now Bungie may or may not have initially intended for it to be used to level up legendary gear so fast, but unlike the former, they definitely don't intend for people to do it now since they took it away.

And if anyone figured out a way to do it NOW, it would be an exploit. That's not the same thing.
 
You're sitting at 89 light and you need 98. Have to have shards to upgrade your armor or coins to buy an exotic armor piece.

With the recent update, the estimated time to reach level 28: Never

Yeah, I just need shards and relic iron. It's probably a good idea to wait and buy an exotic from Xur instead of spending all my materials now.

Xur, you are my only fucking hope.
 
Just got the option for the Exotic bounty for Invective. Problem is, I don't know if I can get a k/d spread of 25. What do you on guys think, should I go for it anyway or not bother? The other two are bad juju and thorn which I don't really want.

It isn't difficult. Just continually go positive in Crucible. I got it done in 2 games. That being said I generally get top 3 in a game so take that for what you will.
 
It absolutely boggles my mind that anyone thinks sitting in front of a cave entrance farming re-spawning enemies is fun.
You know what's more fun? Shooting bigger versions of Hydras, Fallen, Servitors, and Ogres in face for 15 minutes and getting absolutely nothing out of it. It doesn't have to be "fun" only more "fun" than the alternative. Which it was.
 
It's closing an exploit they referred to as "humbling". You are projecting something onto them that is not there.
What am I projecting? Them killing it off is telling players "Don't do that". If they want people to stop cave farming, they should start introducing more rewarding ways to earn loot. I was doing that with the Queen's Wrath orders, but they made that 100% useless now as well. It may as well not exist now.
 
Welp, wasted all of my saved up ass shards on non-raid gear because I thought the QW missions were working as intended. On the bright side, I'm lvl 29. :/

There is no point.
 
wait

did drops go up for anyone else?

i just got 4 engrams from running restoration (3 green, 1 blue) and i'm like... i ran this 5+ times in the last two days and never got shit

rng is drunk
 
I'll be honest. After spending at least 30 minutes to an hour per day at that cave, I'm a little disappointed that the exploit is gone now. No legendaries, but I have plenty of rares, expect for the arm gear. I could never get arm gears beyond uncommon.

But I not distressed about it. I can continue, if not breeze through most of the story now and try other ways to find legendaries.
Right now, though, I'm in an area with mediocre Internet, I'll be home tomorrow to play.

If you already have a legendary sniper and armor then its just for the emblems and shaders and class item.

This happens all the time in Guild Wars 2 you run content monthly for new dye, cosmetic items etc.
 
Woo! I just got a message from someone calling me a NOOB because I beat them.

It still winds me up though :'(

usual'y I respond with some truly cold shit, passive agressive remarks meant to fish for truly hurtful things. Shit I can't post here even though its not conventionally vulgar. I'm a monster :c
 
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.

I 100% agree with this. I'm also lvl 21 and used the cave a bit as I really do not like the story missions and still haven't finished them all.

Besides, I actually enjoyed doing the cave (and occasional public event next to the cave) whilst listening to the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix soundtrack!

As a former MMO player I love pointless grind :)
 
Bungie should put a slot machine in the Tower for all those suffering from cave withdrawl. Feed in some glimmer, possibly get a legendary engram or good mats. At least I'd have something to spend it on.

What do you mean? Sorry, I missed whatever happened in the last 12 hours.

Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items

Oh, hahahahha.

The queen is pretty sexy man, you should get on her good side just in case we end up killing her over-protective brother in the next DLC...
 
I thought farming for engrams was bad but I'm pretty sure farming for materials is even worse. I'm getting bored with this game at level 26, maybe I should make another character or something.

Blimey. I just submitted a grief report instead. I don't need to be harassed.
