Lost the game but first HoW legendary!!!

Congrats!!!

I gave up. After 11 matches now and not one drop for anyone on my team I just don't care anymore.

=...(

 

[Mass Appeal]

Played 5 salvage matches and got two HoW legendaries. Nice.

Gonna hit the sack. Can't wait to get home from work and see the state of this game. Hopefully some surprises that Bungie is hiding from us.

I don't really care about these weapons, I just want Party Crasher + 1.

 

[Kalamari]

Rest well, guardians, tomorrow will be a long day.

 

[ethomaz]

5 new exotic special
0 new exotic heavy

 

[Blunoise]

Wow just got 4 how legendary weapons for salvage. I'm done for the night

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

I didn't even have to finish the first mission to start moving stuff to my new character since DIM worked like a charm. Awesome.

 

[Trakan]

Let's take a second to talk about how broken Pocket Infinity is.

Let's take a second to talk about how broken Pocket Infinity is.

and this is after the nerf too lol

i remember when it would clear a whole portion of twilight gap in one burst

 

[Makikou]

How is HoW?

I am still debating whether i want to get in or not. Never bothered finishing Crota's End because i think Crota was disappointing as hell as a boss fight so i am not 32.

 

[Byron Bluth]

I don't understand these drop rates.

Please be aware that for anyone going into Salvage it is NOT raining legendaries.

You may very well end up with 11 matches completed with nothing.

I just hate RNG and feel like I wasted time. Blahhhh

Anyways I'm off to bed. 11.5 hours left!!!!

I'll be online around 9:30am EST for more key farming and *shudder* Salvage.

maybe they're not bounties actually but theres 19 fallen hunted cards i haven't unlocked

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Anyone want in with me and Etho in Salvage?

Well I consider getting 4 legendaries in one evening raining for me.

I almost don't get legendaries in Crucible and I got 5 in 20 matches... the drop rate is absurd (every time at least one guy got a legendary in the match I played).

 

[xplicitone]

It seems to be pretty 'random' of people got stuff or not. I played probably 15 matches and got 0 legendaries.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

So do we have to farm keys in order to open the PoE chest?

 

[everyday math]

Of coarse it's random. But the drop rate has certainly been increased.

 

[brianjones]

seriously how are people complaining about this

crucible rewards used to be totally useless.. we've already seen many people get legendaries in only 1 day of salvage

 

[Auto_aim1]

You will get a key, no need to farm. Btw join party Unknown and me.

 

[blackjaw]

Certainly increased...saw at least one legendary per match and even an exotic in my 10 matches played tonight...that use to be absurdly rare. I didn't see anything drop for me, but my number will roll one day,

Also, Grats Mildsoss on 'beating' the game!

 

[MildSoss]

 

[blackjaw]

Fuck yeah, grats

Haha just seems like people either got a bunch or none. But yes I definitely appreciate these rewards if the trend continues. The rewards were beyond awful and the increase in both marks and legendary drops are welcoming.

Edit: And I only saw 1 legendary drop in all my matches today. Granted I never stayed in the same session for more than 2 matches. Not sure if that plays any role or not.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

I'm away from ps4. Will join when I get back

 

[everyday math]

You are now legend.

Edit: OMG I just noticed the ghost above the Guardian lord list moving and stuff. So cool lol.

You watched if the other team got legendaries? I didn't have any match where one of the 6 guys didn't get.

The last I played the rival team got 2 legendaries.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Hope to see some of you later today. Good to see some more Guardian Lords.

No I didn't notice if they got any.

 

[Wallach]

Really seems like Titans are kind of getting boned on the new exotic front.

I don't even really know what the point of Peregrine Greaves is supposed to be. Unless it is something dumb like +20,000 damage I can't figure out why we'd equip this item.

Eternal Warrior... uh huh. Right, next.

ACD/0 Feedback Fence might be situationally useful, but the proc will have to be fairly meaty and anything other than a super short cooldown will hurt it a ton. Seems like it will have few applications outside PvP.

 

[HidingMyThunder]

This was confirmed earlier today. More keys equals more RNG rolls in a week. Just need to know what's in those rolls to know if it's worth the grind.

Is it like a Gorgon chest or a lame chest that gives mats?

I guess I'm late to the party...

Edit: Start at 1 minute

"There are multiple chests in the treasure room and only one requires a treasure key to unlock. The ultimate chest will have a chance of rewarding exotics, legendary queen gear, fallen themed exotics, strange coin, and motes of light."

[MildSoss]

Thanks guys, first game ever to keep enough of my attention to achieve platinum on. lol

 

[Bradach]

is it only in salvage that there's a chance for these HoW legendaries?

 

[everyday math]

Yes

 

[lazybones18]

Currently doing the Queen's Wrath Bounties and I've completed two of them. Got Ether Keys but don't know what type of chest I should be looking for. Anyone have a pic of what I need to find?

Until tomorrow, yes

It looks like a regular Fallen-themed chest (like the one you find in the nearby caves), but from a distance you'll see a golden light beam shooting up out of it. Look for that light beam in the environment.

EDIT: Misunderstood your question

 

[xplicitone]

I find it interesting HoW resets at noon and all the OG stuff at 4am (my time). I like that. I can sleep in and have an early lunch

 

[Frenden]

I don't see how a HUGE increase in likely legendary drops can possibly be construed as a negative.

I'm the last person to be a Destiny apologist, but individually having a string of bad luck and not getting something doesn't run counter to the fact that legendaries are dropping at much, much, much higher rates now.

gotcha

 

[Jarate]

Just got the split shifter pro

Looks like a pretty awesome fusion rifle, which idk always seems broken in PVP

 

[Bradach]

Great. I'll squeeze in a few games before work this morning

I think people just get upset when they're on the unlucky side of RNG especially when the new content drops. That maybe mixed with people not really liking PvP is what probably makes people more upset.

I remember when Crota first dropped and people would get upset at not getting any gear drops on the very first runthrough. We all just want the good stuff right away! Haha

 

[Auto_aim1]

Saw all the new Grimoire cards. Hype! Lots of interesting things in HoW.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Anybody still need to do the weekly? Just realized I don't have Omnigul unlocked on my warlock.

psn: kreepmode

 

[Zocano]

Is there any efficient way of hopping between HoW chests/targets? I'm just going between two of the spots on the same planet and just waiting till it pops before swapping to the other.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I don't mind the 'epic lootz' dropping alot more. Gives people more of a free choice on what to use instead of being funneled into whatever drops.

 

[LtOrange]

Wow am I having bad luck tonight. Just finished my 12th Skirmish match and I have yet to see any HoW weapons drop.
