I may have 1 free spot in raid tonight on PS4 at 9 pacific. Anyone want to join us? It's not guaranteed, but I haven't heard back from one of the guys if he's coming or not, so there may be an open spot.

Add me FrsDvll
 
Long ago during development, the Cryptarch decoded engrams of a given color into gear of that same color. Early in 2014 we added randomness, both for better and worse, to the decrypting process. The result was that end-of-session engram decoding got a lot more exciting and the Cryptarch himself suddenly acquired a personality. Both of these experiences were positive additions to the game.

But we didn't adequately communicate the potential random outcomes of decryption. Players see what looks like the familiar metaphor of item identification, while the Cryptarch thinks he's opening a grab bag of loot. Rage sharding of blues ensues. Expect to see changes to address this soon.

What do you think this dev note means? Just a communication change or they will make legendary engrams more likely to be legendary?
 
So has the shenanigans with legendary engrams converting to blue weapons been patched out? Or should I just hang onto them until the patch arrives? I haven't got any yet :P

In any case, I think it wise to save your legendary engrams now (assuming you have vault space) if a change is made. Yes Hawkian I already know you've been saving yours :p
 
lol i didn't believe it the first time i saw it, but you can in fact win a skirmish game by jumping off the map and reviving your teammates.

Brilliant design

Hilarious.

Guessing that a future patch will remove points from revives if this becomes rampant.
 
They're reducing the auto rifle and boosting stupid shit like hand cannons?!?! Wtf. And they aren't even touching how ridiculous fusion rifles are?!?!

My god can this company suck any harder

Honestly, AFs, FRs, shotguns and HMG are all bullshit weapons. Nerfing some but not all would be idiotic. And the way the rest of the guns are designed just makes them useless no matter how they buff them up.
 
Now that the cave is patched, those of us who exploited it are living like damn ass hell kings. :D The cryptarch did his thing. Now Xur and the tower can finish outfitting all my characters. PEACE.
 
I'm still pissed that literally the only thing I got from the raid was a shader, shards, and one cloak. Not a single weapon =/
 
How do you guys find people to play with? This is my first time playing online beyond racing games with randoms. I totally find the process of finding people to play with awkward as fuck.

One shot kill weapons are bullshit but bungie loves them. I can only imagine the horror this game will be when everyone's rocking snipers as secondary.

When does the update go live? Game is over for me once it does

Post asking for help in the OTs lol.

Also throw your PSN in your post and ask for help. You'll get friend requests.
 
Great fun tonight folks. I do without a doubt hope bungie takes some of the mechanics and such from the raid and work them into strikes and stuff. Tomorrow night we finish it.
 
Joes post Review video is pretty damn great and insightful. And it makes me further sad how the Grimoire was an afterthought. Apparently the Cabal are able to freaking move planets and were going to launch Mars moon, Phobos, into earth!? And how the Queens Brother....is literally named 'Queens Brother' in the grimoire.....

Man. The story....damn. It could've been a space opera.
 
My Hunter as of about an hour ago:

LOL, never realized I was rank 2 in Crucible so that got me some Legendary gauntlets and boots which got me oh so close to 27. I'm less than 3/4 of the way to Vanguard rank 2 so I'm slowly working on that now.

Also not crazy about the colors but the default with the gear I have is awful and that is the best looking shader I have.
 
Hmm, I'm level 26 after 10 days, and I'm seeing all those complaints about not being able to reach 30.

Why the rush though ? Is there any content we unlock at 30 ? Any mission where this level cap is required ? Vault of glass is not there to stay ?

I will be full legendary and exotic by tuesday just doing the vanguard rep / marks with bounties, patrols, daily/weekly (I don't even PVP) and will likely try VoG this week-end, so all the rage I see around here is kinda... disturbing.

Just my 2 cents.

Last week we did everything except the last phase of Atheon and I got some boots, this week we cleared everything and I got nothing except the shader. No actual loot at all for the whole week other than upgrade materials is pretty cool.
 
Didn't make any character progress today but I helped 4 GAFers do nightfall and Gamer@Heart do the thorn bounty, this is what the game is all about, loving the community here on GAF.

That, without a doubt, reads as: "We're going to make sure players know that there's a level of randomness to engrams by cleaning up the description and/or changing the graphic." It's definitely NOT "We're going to make legendary engram's better."

They might tweak the percentages, but there will always be a dice roll for engrams.

Sounds like just a communication change unfortunately. A lot of people are reading that as saying that they will be changing the loot decrypting system but I don't think that's the case. It's definitely a little ambiguous though.
 
Destiny REALLY needs a Paragon level-ish thing for it.

After you hit level 20, you gain levels that gain your chances to get legendaries. I think that's fair.

Oh, and a trade system.
