bungie didnt mention this, but i wonder if along with the engram change (purples giving purples or better) if they will also change the liklihood of purple dropping... i'm not sure the intent of bungie's change was to make purples much more available, which is what will happen after this update, but rather to alleviate frustration from getting a worse item after decryption then expected. if this is indeed their goal, then they may play with lowering the probability of a purple (or blue) engram dropping.

You won't see any more purple items than you do now.

They are just changing how they are "identified."

They admitted they shouldn't have looked the color purple when the vast likelihood was that they were going to turn blue.

forever blue, bring on the patch.

Also I just heard the Announcer at the tower say "reminder Guardians, the Cabal are your enemy" ... sounds like indoctrination to me.

infrequent yet guaranteed legendaries > frequent but not guaranteed legendaries

makes sense, but i didnt see them straight out say that.

oh, i agree!
 
Any tips on the "Void damage to defeat guardians" bounty for the Thorn? Do you have to just have void weapons equipped? Does it need to land the killing blow? I do a lot of kills but my K/D ratio is close to 1 so this will take forever. :(

I heard you can have 3 people in a fireteam and join a rumble. Then just have two folks come to you the entire match and make sure your kills on them are higher than what the other three people are doing to you death wise to kill you.

ALSO!
As someone who sucks at pvp I'll mention I've found pvp in this game is FAR easier if you just stick to PVP during prime hours. If you try this game at odd hours those twitchy folks who've been console FPSing for years likely will make your life hard. I guess they're more likely to be on at 12-3am for some reason.

This took me probably 4 hours, I used a void fusion rifle, every kill is 5 and every time you die you get 2 points taken off. . .I hated doing that bounty. If you ever want to say F it and just play regular crucible you can't because all your points will taken away from all the deaths you take (the normal kills you have won't count towards the points). It has to be the killing blows, assists did nothing for me.
 
As Kittens mentioned before, dismantling Greens should give random materials for upgrades. What are we to do with all of the extra weapon parts and armor pieces? It gets kinda silly
 
That explains why when I play past around 12am it feels like I'm playing in mud. I guess at this point I'm mostly being set up with players in further areas of the world.

If I play before 12am my k/d is between 2-6
If I play after 12am it's .5-2, almost every kill leaves the enemy alive for a good 5 seconds so they return the favour before they die.

Seems to be almost perfect during the day though. Still a few wtf moments, but in general it seems solid enough.

As for matchmaking, is there any kind of system that pits you against players of equal skill? A couple of times it's felt like my opponents got better as I won more, but that may have been coincidence.

I take it that you are also in the EU.. As well, bungie games always give host to north Americans, so we're fucked basically. I was just playing, and the lag was BAD! It's the weekend, so the north Americans are on early.

I'll never buy another peer to peer game again
 
Does anyone want to join me for the weekly heroic strike at level 26? I'm free anytime from now until tonight so let me know. PSN: Furyous

I don't think you can save them. The patch notes says "Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change."
 
Got a legendary engram.
Decoded it.
It's an exotic helmet!
For the wrong class.
from victim no.2007796
Next week really can't come sooner

This will still happen. You will still get items for other classes, it's intended this way imo.

3 classes, 3 slots.

The point I think is to make one of each. Then it won't matter.

Nothing they've said indicates this aspect will change.

We should be at least able to turn in unused mats somewhere for a reward
 
I'm doing the Exotic Shotgun bounty, but does anyone have any tips for the PVP part, it says 25 K/D. What does that really mean, I don't really get it. Do I need to get 25 kills? Also which mode do you guys recommend for it, I like Control but am not sure if that is the quickest way to go about it.
 
engrams turning into items for another class is bungie's way of enticing you into stepping out of your comfort zone and trying out a new character, thus keeping you playing longer. unfortunately, without a way to see how it looks right then and there to determine if it's even worth it, or any other compelling reason to play another class and repeat all the story missions, strikes and faction fep, it ends up being one of the many loot decisions that lead to frustrated players.

i just dismantle them.

You need to get 25 more kills than deaths. Every kill equals 1 point. Every death is -1. It does not need to be done in just one match though. The spread rolls over.
 
PSO fans let's call ghosts mags from now on

Also what if you could upgrade your ghost to automatically disassemble greens?

To dream

Some kind of secondary use because there are so many now. Especially for end game players.

Also, Bungie should fix the guardian outfitter and refresh her shaders. This game has so many, yet she sells the same ones.

Probably headshots required. My raid sniper has the same upgrade.

Even with headshots it doesn't. Kinda weird really. Would hate it if it's actually glitched.
 
The game kicks me from the earth queen mission. Now it won't load the earth mission and I've restarted 15 times so far. And they keep giving me the damn vest after 10 runs. I think I'm reaching my boiling point.
 
Anybody know if the Venus farming spot was patched too? Not the cave, I mean the area where the Vex and Fallen spawn to fight each other, near where you start for the Nexus strike. I'm bored and have done all my bounties for the day, so I might as well just go shoot shit for free stuff, if it still works of course.

I came across that area during patrol yesterday and stayed for a few minutes. Didn't appear to be nerfed to me.
 
Someone claimed to have gotten multiple rewards from the raid, I want some clarification on the truthfulness of this.

Multiple in what way? From re-runs? Impossible. Throughout the Raid? Of course.

I think you can get up to 7 drops right?

There are three chests, and four points throughout the raid where drops occur.
 
What's a good place to kill 10 hive majors now? Is there such a place? Stupid-ass Bungie.

Go down the first set of stairs in the small building to the left of where you spawn on earth patrols.

Explore down there a bit and you'll find 3 hive majors, all level 18. They respawn very fast - just run out and run back in.
 
Why is it whenever I get 2 or more materials, say relic, it only counts as 1? Shards and Energy are fine but materials found on planets a
Ways gives me 1 when it says I got 2 or more on the screen. Right now, I should've 28 relics from my count. Instead I have 19.
