Seriously though. Fill up your entire vault with blue engrams before the patch. Increased chance it's a legendary once the patch goes live. Also once the patych goes live and you decrypt all those blues, you'll probably level up the cryptarch a couple of times. And there's a decent chance you'll get legendary engrams from that which are actual guaranteed legendaries, acendant materials, or an exotic.

Where are you getting this? Did they clarify the update to the engrams, it sounded pretty vague yesterday.

Your second observation is a really good point!
 
These would actually turn blue. So i'm just going to carry out my experiment. I can't read the notes in full yet guys, when's the patch?

i have read 0% of it, I just saw that line quoted in this thread and got excited. as you can see, I'm actually happier that it won't be working in the hilarious way I first thought :)

Record your experiment if you can
 
Anyone else getting errors codes?

I'm lucky enough to have the "beagle" error code. Which led me to discover this game is kinda broke. I was so excited to play with some old friends tonight but sadly I'm stuck waiting for a patch.

So why is it some digital copies of the game play fine and other don't? Perhaps it's over my head, but shouldn't every ones game break the same way on a console? Why is it that only some of us can't play Jupiter without our game breaking?

Read carefully.

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

AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA.

well thanks for all the vocal complaints guys! I didn't need the assistance to get to 29, but now I will be an unstoppable juggernaut regardless.

Although I should say, First Solar System Problems, I know everyone will largely agree this is a completely positive change, but this might ruin progression a little bit for me. Essentially, all my characters (even the ones that don't really exist yet) are now level 26+ and have legendary weapons or better in every slot.

I don't think it'll make the game less enjoyable for me exactly. I certainly won't feel like I've accomplished anything at all until Hawkmoon is mine.

edit: Oh wait they're gonna turn blue? That's awesome!

I mean, you know what I mean.

GUARDIAN DOWN!
 
Woah I just got like a fuck tonne of rewards for completing a Strike. I got 2 new shaders, one I already had but the new one is gold which looks pretty fucking dope. I also got 3 rare engrams, 1 legendary and a Mote of Light.

Well had enough to purchase that Exotic engram from Xur so I thought fuck it. Already spent some today on the Speaker so I had exactly 23 remaining.

Check the video below to see what happened. Intense moment because I knew I'd get fucked over. Longest walk ever to the Cryptarch.

The changes are good but they're not very fair on the people who have earned legendary engrams imo.
 
Next week. Well then.

I'm glad everyone is happy with these changes at least :)

I hope that we don't suddenly start a lovefest for the Cryptarch or I'll be ill.
It's actually in the post before I realized they wouldn't stay purple man.

I don't want my other characters to be insta-raid. They'll already be at insta-level ~23, even if I get nothing of use for them from my 15 engrams tonight. This is a good way of handling it.

May i ask the question of how the heck do you get a video from your ps4 to youtube?
 
Bungie's new changes are making me happy! And a nice break is making the game fresh again

Now buff Bad Juju by upping that impact a notch and giving me two or three more bursts and we'll be best friends. ;)

If you have me on your friends list, just join me. If you don't, send me a friend request. The PS4 UI is loading slow, and I'm not gonna spend minutes waiting for it to load up. I'm just gonna head straight to the game.
 
Record your experiment if you can
Is there a simple way to do this? I'm a pure PS4 newb.

Oh and here's the full plan guys. I will:
  • Buy and equip a Blessing of the Gifted (purported to have some effect on RNG rolls for the cryptarch)
  • Decrypt the 15 Legendary Engrams in my Vault of various types
  • Any reward engrams I receive as a result of leveling up Cryptarch rank through this process will be placed in the vault, to then be opened after the patch next week and get some baseline data.

edit: here are the expected rates
btw anyone still think this game's gonna be dead by november
 
I get off work in ~1.5 hours from now and I need to do the weekly/daily heroic to get some coins. I'm a level 27 Hunter and a member of DestinyGAF (NA Central 3). If you haven't added me yet, my PSN is DaveS78.

I also need to do the Raid...

Do it ASAP plz
 
It's been a good day today.

Three exotics; two from Xur and the Super Good Advice Bounty complete.

Finally have all Legendary armor too, thanks to buying some gauntlets.

Now to finish Thorn's Bounty, and try and solo the Nightfall for more goodies!!

That would round off a good weekend's work.
