This is another way of saying the current incentive structure is um, suboptimal and they're working on it. It's nice to have it at least out there, but as you said it's so fluffy and indirect. I'd be nice if he would just say what he means.

I think they might not know what it means yet as far as actual concrete changes-- they know there's a problem but they don't know how (or the best way) to fix it-- that's how I read it.
 
Alright different try:

Anybody doing the daily/weekly/queens strike? I'd love to get them done, especially the weekly so I can get over 13 coins?

Please?

Completed the Nightfall today. That was crazy fun with my two friends. One thing though, when reading tips everything seemed to say you only needed Solar weapons, but we quickly found out that wasn't true. How come no one mentions that if you don't have the exact weapon to counter shields (Arc for the captain in the Servitor room or Void for the minotaurs)? It seemed like anything else thrown into these shields was just resisted. Even if you cheese it on the cliff, the minotaur is going to resist everything except Void. Or did I miss something?
 
Anyone for the lv 28 Weekly Strike. PvP is making me mads too much so wanna take a break. Plan on cheesing the last boss from above and have someone kite the extra guy away. PSN: tehSlacker

Did this get posted yet? 1.0.2 Patch Preview.

The 1.0.2 patch will go live next week, and includes several changes to the Cryptarch and Engram experience. These changes guarantee that Engrams will always decode into items at or above the quality of an engram.

(Bolding mine.)

Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items

Whoa.
 
Did no one post the patch notes for next week?
Been up for a while.

Cryptarch Changes 
Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly.
Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics
Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items
Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items

Activity Changes
Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards

Item Changes
Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade
Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already...

I have always said this. I'm just not a fan of the writing style because it comes off as pretentious.

As much flack as Bioware got for TOR, their notes and updates got better over time. They were to the point, almost too strict, with bulleted lists and hard numbers sometimes. When it came to world changes, the folks writing the notes would flavor up the text, giving changes a neat Star Wars related backstory as to why it was happening.

For example, the cave fiasco in Destiny? Bioware would've described it as Guardians fighting some ethereal Hive being producing infinite enemies to battle the Fallen, and probably hint at Crota.

But with autos and shotguns taking reductions, wouldn't the game naturally get more distanced making cannons harder to use effectively?

On these maps? Don't think so. The scout rifle still holds its ground on larger maps regardless but with all of the exodus blues and twilight gaps out there - the short range option is gonna still be the AR unless they tone down damage too.
 
So 1.0.2 Patch notes state that Cryptarch decrypting legendary will always yield legendaries.... should of stock piled mine like Hawk

Only for new drops. Should of read entire post haha
 
Thread moves ultra fast!!!


1) Quick noob question. How can i tell if i completed a mission? For example the Daily and Weekly strikes on the left side of the map. If its colored in then that means its done right?

2) Also, any way to tell how many strange coins I have earned from the Weekly strike?

Thanks!

Warlock, Sunsinger, 27. If I can find one more shard I can hit 28.
 
Anyone who has Crest of Alpha Lupi...how do you rate it as a Titan? I'm hesitant to buy something with a buff that only lowers res time and increases the number of orbs I spit out when I consume my super.

Is the number of orbs that comes out substantial? I tried to find a video on youtube but did not have any luck. Think I may save my coins...any help appreciated!

That legendary engram in your inventory part needs to be bolded and highlighted. Don't waste saving them. They are all rare once patch hits.

hand cannons will be king, fusion rifles will be the next overpowered weapon we complain about
Click to expand...

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. Something tells me between competitive and banner, there will be two very distinct styles of play, the same way there was in call of duty or halo (hardcore or mlg playlists).

Hawkian said:
Nail on the head. If they tweak it right, you'll be kosher with Scout/Sniper at vast range; Auto, Scout, or Pulse at mid-long range; Auto, Fusion, Hand Cannon at mid-close range; and Fusion/Shotgun at close range. (Did I forget a weapon type...?) I wasn't as annoyed by shotguns as most (Use the Radar, Luke) but their range decrease might make fusions more apparent. I bet both will still be valuable.

Yeah, I don't see hand cannons becoming dominant. In fact, I expect ARs to remain the most commonly chosen weapon.

That's what I figured, could always be wrong though... I'm just trying to see if I can anticipate the curve to start buying and building accordingly. I've been eliminating kids in 3v3 with my pals, but I want to elevate my individual game as well.

I use it as a Defender.
Instead of popping 2 with the usage, I produce 3. Still produce 3 under damage though.
 
OH MY FUCKING JUDEO CHRISTIAN GOD.

THE NEW PATCH PREVIEW

AND THE PEOPLE HOARDING THEIR SHIT

Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change.
Click to expand...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

I can't I can't I need to settle down. Oh thank you Bungie. You've brought the douchebag in me a lot of amusement.
 
Finally almost have my first character(a hunter) to level 20. Have a Titan at 12 and a Warlock at 4. Still trying to decide if I want to be a BladeDancer or not. I like the idea of extra speed and possible stealth.

I must say, I love the fusion rifle in crucible. Took me a bit to get used to it, but now charging it as I duck behind a corner to just pop out and take folks out in Control is great. I can feel the nerf coming from here. But right now, it's the only blue weapon I even have!

Are you talking about that Pandemonium fight? Cause I hear stories about that to this day.

Yeah I don't think my clan ever got the claim while I was on <thank god>

IDK, i get the complaints about the grind and shit in this game but compared to my experience in FF this game is a joke for time investment.

I kind of feel like bungie did a good thing with exp and drops being given to nearby players. It seems like a lot of their choices where based around making the game as grief free as possible. I had to fight bots for mid level mobs to get specific gear for my class, when everyone else there was cheating and selling the gear on chinese real money websites. It was infuriating.

Having everything drop everything (.0001% chance of it being good lol) is actually better than specific drops off specific mobs you have to claim.

You can't train high level mobs to n00bs and laugh as they die.
You can't BS people with trades and trick them out of gear.
You can't roll on a drop that someone else was promised at the end of a fight.
You can't claim a boss and block the entire server from doing it.
You can't run a cartel and jack up prices of gear on the auction house by buying out all the stock and selling at insane prices...

People say it needs this and that, but honestly most of that stuff just causes assholes to ruin the game for everyone else.
