the patch was just bug fixes. three i can confirm are

• players being able to talk in fireteams
• legendary engrams decrypting into legendary items
• high scoring players in the crucible receiving rewards

GGGEEWWWDDDDDDDD!!!!! I was just gonna save my legendary engrams until this issue was resolved. Glad I did!!

 

[Evil Beaver]

Wait, you're supposed to die to get all those engrams?

Kill everyone except the guys with yellow health bars. There should be some engrams that drop, but don't pick them up. Let the yellow health bar guys kill you.

When you respawn the engrams you didn't pick up will still be there. Kill normal enemies for even more drops. When you are done with your run kill the yellow health bar guys and pick up your loot.

 

[zewone]

Kinda late doesn't it reset tomm?

Isn't the item a consumable you can just save?

[Citizen_Insane]

Need one more for the weekly strike at level 22. Bring your arc weapons!

 

[MidEvlDed]

No, it's 23 motes of light for a random exotic chest engram.

But this could happen to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=112UVdhQ3_I

Wow! What's the point then? It's a crap shoot whether or not you're going to get something for your class. May as well spend it on speaker flare.

 

[Heel]

Did the Rocketyard Chest Run tonight for 1:30h. Got 7 blue engrams, 26 green items and 183 spinmetal plus 3000 glimmer. Fringe is the perfect tv show to look when you are farming the chests.

I must be doing something wrong, because I spent over an hour and got no where close to this. Even had someone spotting chests with me. A few green engrams, under maybe 80 spinmetal.

Do you have to be level 20? Leveled up cards? I'm at level 13 and it felt like it was for crazy people.

 

[Twilight Gap]

So what exactly entails a "reset".

for raids, you can save your checkpoints for a week and you can only earn one reward per week per character (so 3 times if you have 3 guardians). after the reset, your checkpoints are wiped and you can earn rewards again.

i think destiny's resets are all 2am pacific on tuesday

 

[Dante316]

Nothing, everyone is making these videos and about 90% of them don't work .

edit: at least for me

Same, seems only thing is crucible. ..gives me higher stuff, I really wanna do nightfall before I even try the raid.

 

[The Librarian]

"Scourge of Winter" on hard makes me happeh.

 

[Alucrid]

i can't connect at a now destiny pls


you can't confirm any of that lol

Holy shit, BOMBA if true! Does the top one include people being matchmade into parties as well?!

You get better engrams the higher level you are.

Once you reach a certain level, white engrams no longer drop and green engrams are automatically decrypted.

 

[ethomaz]

This patch if true will make the grinding way better...

[Megasoum]

So the whole free digital upgrade thing was only From PS3 to PS4 right?

Cause the thing is, I original bought the game digitally on PS3 by accident (screwed up on the webstore). I ended up calling Sony and they fixed it and gave me the PS4 version instead.

However, when I'm looking at the PS3 PSN store I can download the PS3 version right now....

I'm kinda curious to see what it looks like (and also play with my friends that don't have a PS4 yet) but I'm a bit scared to download it lol.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Thanks!

Seemed like you were being serious to me >_>

 

[Beaulieu]

So is there a point to winning or even doing well in Crucible?

pride ? having fun ? wtf is wrong with you people..

 

[Admiral Woofington]

What's uppppp?

So I made this quick video to show you guys where I farm and how I FINALLY got some PURPLE STUFF!!!

Some of you probably know about this already but for those who don't try it out and let me know if you've had any success.

Also please be patient. Of course you can get lucky and get a purple or multiple ones in 20-30 minutes or so but it does take time to grind this out but it is very rewarding because not only do you get abunch of green/blue + chance of purple engrams.
But also you get so many that you can level up the cryptarch multiple times after maybe a 2-3 hour run depending.

Sp yeah I hope you like it and never go back to THE NEXUS haha j/k

First off, love your voice man.

watched your other video, so I'm actually really happy for you. And definitely thanks for the heads up, will be trying it. Seems like it's much faster solo so I'm gonna do it solo and just keep dying. nice to know engrams don't disappear with deaths either.

pride ? having fun ? wtf is wrong with you people..

Some people are stressed out that RNG is fucking them over and aren't at appropriate levels yet.

 

[FloatingDivider]

I need a dude for the weekly strike, it's with 2 mutes though, but it should be fine I've done this before . two lvl 25 dudes. contact me at: YzeNup

 

[IAmRandom31]

Man took down Heroic Strike, jumped to Mars to do a black garden bounty and have seen 2 public events within minutes of each other. Gold on both. Nice!

[Admiral Woofington]

don't have much time to play today, so I'm gonna try out the moon mission solo for engram farming real quick for an hour and a half, let you guys know how I do.

 

[Magik]

I'm down for Strikes, PvP, PvE if anyone is interested.

PS4 - x_Magik_ox

Ahhh, makes sense. I guess I'll wait then. Thanks.

 

[Seiru]

Well as far as I can see, there's no progression tied to doing well in the Crucible. Like in old Halo games, you had a ranking that would level up, etc. It seems that all there really is here is some stats on Bungie.net?

 

[Blue Ninja]

Apparently 1.03 will fix problems people are having when connecting to the servers using university internet.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/69073682/0/0

Nah, that's something different. We (probably) won't get an update for that through our consoles.

And people who get the errors and are not on university internet are probably SOL.

 

[neoism]

Alright people, it's picture taking time!

The person that posted a brief video earlier this morning got around to putting up tutorials for us.


Video tutorial on how to glitch into the Seraphim Vault:

omg its halo 2 glitching all over again Kreygasm

 

[LtOrange]

Never got a chance to try out the weekly strike and would love to get it done before it goes away. Anyone plan on running it? PSN:LtOrange

EDIT: Found a group

 

[The Librarian]

This patch if true will make the grinding way better...

How so? The patch released today?

 

[postcyberpunk]

Just heard the line

Spoiler

I don't have time to tell you about how I don't have time to tell you

and while stupid, it didn't sound so bad when actually spoken in the game. Context, maybe?


I think Pulse Rifles are better than Scout Rifles... Still deciding.

 

[Zomba13]

Well fuck. Doing the weekly striek at lvl26. It's hard but we're making progress. On the tank, around half health, two others are down, I have no super so I can't risk a revive at the moment (if I fail I could then revive myself and try again) so I fall back. About to make progress again after clearing some trash and it disconnects me

 

[Byron Bluth]

Are strikes and public events the only way to earn Vanguard marks?

 

[ethomaz]

Naaaa seems like somebody messed with our hearts.

 

[Mazre]

100% anecdotal but I have 2 legendary engrams in < 2 hours after the patch and 0 in the entirety of my playtime prior to the patch.

 

[Mr Croft]

His post was sarcasm.

I meant for the exp bonus sometimes you get exotic weapons/ legendary weapons. I wish I would have gotten ascendant material

 

[Namikaze1]

Just beat the Nightfall Strike with fellow gaffers, Dhruv and Bol. It took us a long while and many deaths but we did it.

Special thanks to the Wizard from the Moon that took care of the Fallen Captains for us. This victory is for you, our short lived ally!

 

[ethomaz]

Exploration missions and Bounties give them too.

 

[Conkerkid11]

• players being able to talk in fireteams
• legendary engrams decrypting into legendary items
• high scoring players in the crucible receiving rewards

I don't recall players in fireteams not being able to talk.

I've had several legendary engrams not decrypt into legendary items since the patch.

Low scoring players have still been receiving rewards more often than high scoring players.

Edit: You forgot /s

 

[oneils]

well apparently destiny removed our ability to detect jokes alongside it's hype at launch

your ordered list made it look so professional though!

 

[Hawkian]

Holy shit, BOMBA if true! Does the top one include people being matchmade into parties as well?!

i'm sure he is trolling.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I looked in the that Vault of Glass glitch video

Spoiler

some of those walls are giving me slight trypophobia

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Postmortem death got nerfed? I'm pretty sure I'm killing after I got killed, according to the popup, but I'm not getting the medal anymore where 2 days ago I was getting 5-10 a match.

 

[Fattony12000]

Guardian of Light!



That farming shit looks cereal kray kray.

 

[WITHE1982]

So I've been farming the shrine of oryx for the last hour or so with some successful results:

I've worked out it takes on average of 3 minutes and 40 seconds to do a run (including killing the ogre and the high level enemies in the next room).

I've completed it a fair few times and average around 700 glimmer a run. Also picked up 3 rare engrams and a legendary one in my hour there. OH and 10 silken codex (200 glimmer each).

So in an hour I've made 12,700 glimmer and have 3 engrams to decrypt. Plus as an added bonus I upgraded my subclass twice. Not bad really.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

I found I was getting a ton too but most of them were coming from lag. Maybe it's just becoming more stable?

 

[Zomba13]

You know, for the lack of story and characters and fucked up loot system, Destiny sure does have some nice music. You know, except that Paul McCartney song. That ones is stupid. Though if it was just an instrumental or whatever it might be nice.

 

[GalacticToast]

If I have one issue with the game it's this.

I shouldn't lead my team with a 5 KDR and be the only one who doesn't get a freaking drop. What's the point of even trying to do well? Might as well just phone it in and hope for something good. I know this has been mentioned before, but damn is it annoying.
