Legendary I got some too... to be fair I got more than I expected... I was more talking about this material quantity... I need to open ~10 chests to get 16 materials to level up my gear while with 6 in a chest makes it way faster.
If they increased the quantity of materials I see that in a good way
I didn't cut anything off. It's right there.
Edit: just added you to my ignore list. So I guess you get to say whatever you want. I guess I'll just do the same for anyone trying to convince me that a developer not thinking things through fully = me cheating.

Brilliant.
Wiped!
Yea I joined you but was lvl 26 and it ended up playing till 3 am...my brain was like sleep. But am 27 now and will have better weapons by this weekend. Should definitely be more of a help I think.
Yes, you can get to 28 with your current gears; but I'd say it's a waste of your time and materials. I will want to replace one piece of your current armor with an exotic (buy something from Xur tomorrow) and focus on upgrading that piece of exotic. Eventually you will replace all of your current purples with raid gears.

Guys stop posting this. This is how RNG works. You get nothing and then you get something.
lol that crap really gets to me in fighting games. I haven't seen any yet for Destiny, thank god.

Shhhhhh, that shit is more valuable than gold right now. Mother fuckers might jump you in the Tower for them if you let people know you have that many!

Exactly my issues with it as well. I feel like my dang hands are tied with everything I do in this game!
It also feels bordeline deceitful, when you think about how Bungie was presenting this game to us. I still remember one of the E3 demos when they threw a Grenade out and said "this is alll playable space". I was reminded of that yesterday when I went out to get a chest loot on the moon that was out in the dead zone...Bungie plz

Got my first Legendary engram and it turned into two Ascendant Shards. I don't even know what those are, so I don't know if I should be angry or not.

If the missions aren't fun then why grind for the gear needed to play more missions?
If the gear is for PvP instead of missions, why not just play PvP and acquire gear that way?
Honestly trying to understand a phenomena I've seen in several loot based games. For the most efficient loot farmers the games themselves are always considered boring grinds, but people will go to great lengths to circumvent or rush past the game's challenges and obstacles in order to get the gear when that gear only exists to tackle the game's challenges and obstacles.

Give some to the poor. I'm running on 5 shards. I got equipments to feed!
Wait they're nerfing the shotgun too?

You need 9 more light and have 9 upgrades for light on your equipment (2 can be done immediately without ascended materials so you really only need 5 light).
You need 12 Ascended shards to do this on one piece of Equipment. Removing the RNG elements to the process (Dailies [public & Heroic] & Nightfall) you can buy 6 pieces of Legendary Armor (@65 Marks) every 2 Mark resets and break them down for 18 Ascended Shards (but you will only need to buy 4). Assuming you already wiped your Marks this week, you should be able to have this done on October 7th if you grind out 200 (100 from each faction) Marks on that day...
let me believe in hope
I got two legendary engrams in the past hour, one on a strike and the other on patrol. Overall I'm getting a ton more engrams now. Pretty happy.

Haha that's really ridiculous.
...and perfect.
The ball is the most exciting part of the tower. A ball.

Is that Bungie's intention? Make a bunch of fanfare for a two week event that you are only supposed to run 3-4 times?

"More rewarding." That's the key right? If Bungie wants people to stop taking the easiest path.. they have to make the average path give much better rewards.
Nah. I'd rather there be effort required and a pace to progression than appeasing the segment of the playerbase that wants everything now.

Anybody up for Weekly Heroic Strike lv.28 on PS3?
To extend your argument further, one might say Bungie really should make it so you can just stand in one spot and shoot guys that respawn anywhere you want. Who is Bungie to say where you can and can't farm the game's rewards? It's almost like they designed the game to be played in a certain way.
And they didn't "chide" anyone in patching it up. It was an exploit. People tend to take advantage of them. It's understandable that people would in a loot game. It's even understandable to be upset when the exploit is patched, since getting the loot is now (intentionally) more difficult. But no, I don't think closing something like this constitutes chiding the player base, especially when they go about it in a self-depreciating way. It constitutes acknowledging a flaw in the game and fixing it.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the changes Bungie is/will be making. I'm a bit bummed about them nuking the shards from the Queen's stuff but I'd still like the ship and rep for the shaders son I'll keep on trucking.
Love that they want to bring up some of the lackluster exotics and give my favorite gun, the scout rifle, some love.
Also really glad we will see an improvement to rewards for activities. I really enjoy strikes and all that but doing it from a rewards standpoint was pretty useless.
I dunno, I don't see a lot to be upset about personally. I have avenues to get gear and even shards via rep/marks. It may take a bit more effort, but I can still push my character to 29 without much difficulty. My biggest obstacle is Xur stocking an exotic piece I actually want.

I'd rather they make playspaces that feel more rewarding for your time. How long does Bungie think it should take me to get the 30 ascendant shards I need to max out my current armor set?

So with the Queen's Order missions, can you still exit out to orbit repeatedly to get the easy first mission?

Reducing its effective range iirc. Here's to hoping they nerf it to Halo 2 shotty status.

I guess I'm extremely confused on the direction Bungie is taking here and it is concerning for the future. My thought process for the Queen's stuff was either A. you got a legendary you needed or B. if you already had a legendary, you got materials you needed. This is a pretty traditional game mechanic. You can either get better gear, more mats, money, etc etc.
So if we remove B.... what is the point of doing the missions if you already have gear? I mean, it already is an awkward position for people who have been working towards legendaries to have all their game time thrown out the window to people who can do a mission with a guaranteed bonus... But now they've effectively made this 'event' pointless for people that are already geared. You can't trade the gear. You can't get mats that are actually needed from the gear. What is the point if you already have good gear?
I just don't understand the game plan on this at all. It would seem they're saying 'you can play towards gaining stuff yourself... or just wait for an event that will do it faster and not benefit you if you're already geared'.

its terrible but usually straight faced implication of mental or social disability shuts that shit down with supreme consistency
I'm cold enough to stop fuckin Ventrilo spammers in their tracks. If thats how you interact with people who can blame me for the conclusions I appear to come to.
It's probably the worst thing I do in my daily life but that kinda dumb shit grinds my gears. Yall can hate me now
Just might be the greatest thing I have ever seen
What the fuck. The shotgun barely has any range as it is. What in the hell.
well, one shotting people from 5m seems pretty broken to me.
it's like if you could one shot with melee, wait, no, it's much better than that.
Jup. I am pretty pissed right now. I will never reach 28. I dont get fucking legendary engrams at all and if I get this shit they turn out blue . I dont have a primary or a heavy that is legend but 1 exotic and 3 legendary secondarys. So gay.
At medium range, you were much more likely to get wrecked by someone with a fusion rifle.
