i got 14 missions to do i think.. might try my luck.

I got 10. Gonna try to burn through them. I'll do the Restoration method since people said it's still in rotation. I did the one in Mars last night with some dudes and it was pretty tough. Got another stupid chest armor again for it.
 
They don't say anything about what happens to stored blues so they might be. It's not made clear. Pray to that big orb in the sky and hope for the best.

I would, i would, i have so many blue shit stored that i barely can fit anything there anymore, that patch can´t come soon enough.

2 times in a row last night :) was nice :)
 
Hate to tell you this but I'm pretty sure all stored purples, in the vault or otherwise, are going to be demoted.

I know! I did not explain my situation properly, sorry. I don't currently have any legendaries..

All I have is a shit ton of blues to decrypt so I can level up Rahool. I know that he's gonna give me legendaries for leveling him up, like he has for the past 4 levels. Those are the purples I don't want to see demoted, and although I could claim them now, I would just fall victim of his bullshit (they would mostly turn into blues, maybe coins at best).

So I left him really really close to next level, and have been gathering blues without having them decrypted. That way, I can do it after the patch hits and the new rules apply. They can't demote what doesn't exist yet (the eventual reward for leveling up is not even in the postmaster yet) so I think I might dodge that bullet.

Only got 2 legendaries in the past two days, had them decrypted right away cause of the downgrade - got very lucky actually, for once. Legendary gauntlets (that I didn't have and was planning to buy) and 3 strange coins, so it could have been worse. Once got the Last Word out of a Legendary from him, but that's the only time he has done right by me. 80% of the time this fucker gives me nothing but blues, once he even gave me a green out of a legendary.

This patch will do wonders for our sanity. Sure, Legendaries might become what they should be: something very rare, but at least we will know something good will come out of it, like we deserve. Not some useless lvl 16 rare weapon.
 
Navid and me are about to start the strike for the Thorn bounty (killing Xyor). In case anyone wants to join in, our PSN IDs are Navid and ps_flocki (PS4)

Earth is still in? Awesome. It was there on Sunday I know, though sometimes it took me 10+ attempts to be able to trigger it.

The real kick in the pants would be a reduced rank reward for decrypting engrams in consideration of people saving engrams regardless of demotion. I'd believe they'd do it since Bungie addresses these types of issues with all the finesse of a jackhammer
 
So, I'm up to level 18 and only have a few missions left in the game (the final mission and a couple of side missions).

I have zero idea what is happening with the story, but did wonder why all of these different alien races all used the same drop ships if they are fighting each other and seem to have different tech.

Either way, I'm enjoying the game somewhat. I went through the strike on Mars (Cerberus something something) and it was really difficult with three level 16s (using the strike matchmaking option) but we got through it.

Not sure how much more I'll get out of the game. Hopefully the end-game really piques my interest since I'm about out of "new" content.
 
Need someone to join me on the weekly, I've ran out of ammo so I cant finish the tank off. One of the modifiers is no refill.
 
Earth is still in? Awesome. It was there on Sunday I know, though sometimes it took me 10+ attempts to be able to trigger it.

People were telling me it wasn't appearing on Sunday but someone else here said it was so I guess I'll see when I try tonight.
 
Keep in mind Bungie said this with regards to the patch:



They don't give an actual firm date as far as I know. I'm not sure where Tuesday was pulled from but would love to see a source.
Because last week that's when the other patch went live Bungie can't realize people would natruely assume it would be today but they seem to love being vague for some reason that's why they should have a patch day and stick to it @_@

Yea its in, on Sunday it didn't appear after 25+ reloads but I got it yesterday twice in a row.

I hope they didn't remove that mission as it was the fastest to complete.
The rotation trick is kinda busted, sometimes you go to orbit and get a different one straight away, other times feels like it's locked and you have to try 3 times in a row till it changes. I think it might be connected to time, everytime I wait 30 secs-1 min after rerolling it gives me a different mission. If I keep trying non stop it repeats the same.
 
Does the queens missions give more items than the chest and helm now? What's this about a sniper?

Sniper is a low % drop from the Queen's missions. It's got randomised add ons and can be arc/solar/void. There is a also a low % drop spaceship.

I think the OT title shouldn't be updated with assumptions and guessing but that's me. It'll be a moot point if it actually drops today.

IF the end game clicks with you, you wont be able to put it down until you´re all purple with a dash of yellow here and there.

If it doesn´t you wont touch the game ever again.
 
btw.: We finished the raid yesterday. It was the most amazing gaming experience I had for quite a while. Shame the whole thing glitches at the end and we never got to the mission summary menu but got stuck a 0 seconds. Got a few shards when the boss dropped but I think I should have got something else after the mission summary, no?
Anyway, can't wait to do the raid again.
Nope. The rewards are only dropped by the boss... you won't receive nothing more on result screen ;)

PS. To be fair the Raid rewards are a combination of boss drops plus three chests.

Well, even still. I would prefer to get only 1-2 real legendaries from two level ups, rather than 6-7 potential duds.. I really hope the patch hits today to fix this mess. If I end up getting screwed with the demotion of engrams that don't yet exist in the game world, I will have a meltdown and then laugh it off :D

Hopefully I won't throw my controller against the wall
 
Got a Scout Rifle with solar damage on it from Atheon last night. It's cool to have but too bad I'm rocking Hard Light and will almost never use it.
 
Did you guys know if you got no ammo after 42-48 seconds your guns auto fill with ammo?

It does not fill heavy but fills primary and special.

Fucking weird, yet handy on nightfall.
 
How hard is the Queens Wrath mission? Anyone Xbox One fancy joining up for it?

Not too hard. Just make sure you have weapons with all three ammo types for the shields. The minions with the shields are the biggest problem. The rest are not a big deal.
 
I know we bitch about this every day but I'm getting so tired of trying to find a group when the game gives me zero ways to do it.

They need to add matchmaking to everything except the raids (I won't fight about that one). They need to add a way to quickly invite people to your fire team in game, not with the PSN notifications, what a pain in the ass.

I really want to knock out my queen missions and daily / weekly / nightfall but it's just too much fucking hassle to get a fire team going, even here.
 
The cryptarch has been unusually good to me this past week...I got Icebreaker for the second time and then last night I got Patience and Time (exotic sniper). Come to think of it, Legendary engrams have turned to exotics more often than legendaries for me.
 
You might as well check those out now, Bungie has said that none of the engrams pre-patch will be changed in how they work.
You're not thinking about the future repercussions. If you wait for the patch to decrypt your engrams your rewards from the post master will be generated after the patch. Therefore those potential legendary engrams will be more valuable than pre patch legendaries.
