They need to get rid of thes lose progress quests in fucking crucible

or at least change the points earned versus lost to a reasonable ratio

Not every quest should be easy. This is a strange game in that we all expect to be able to do everything.

I'm dying for challenging rewards that meet my level, easier ones for worse players, and harder ones for better players. Skill should be rewarded. And I say this as a super average player in all aspects

 

[Zoidberg]

Do Vanguard and Crucible have rank 25 quests?

Negative

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

First package from a faction has a shader.

 

[EloquentM]

Has anyone exchanged their old armor materials for the new? Is it a 1 to 1 exchange rate?

Yes it is

 

[flkraven]

Your fine. Anything here on out is not.

Awesome. Thanks

It does seem bugged though. You lose 2 points for dying sometimes.

 

[LlamaBandito]

Yes it is

Awesome, thanks! This has been the longest day at work so far. Can't wait to get home.

 

[Zoidberg]

Biggest gripe so far is yellow bars not giving glimmer, despite them appearing to explode into it when going down.

I'd agree with this. At the time I did it, the Thorn void kills weren't super easy, and that made it more rewarding at the end.

Is that TLW bounty just a quest for the exotic handcannon? Is it only for people that don't already have TLW?

 

[ocean]

At three legendary marks per dismantle, you'd need 25 legendary items to dismantle just to buy anything other than a helmet.

That is not a viable source of marks.

If there is no way to grind legendary marks, then the whole deal with being able to earn an unlimited amount is BS.

If you can only reliably earn through daily/weekly activities, then that is a weekly limit. You can't tell me I'm going to be getting 75+ marks a week from dismantling gear.

We used to be able to earn 600 a week but it was a super terrible grind. Now you're limited to a guaranteed 210 a week from Daily activities + an unknown amount from Weekly activities. Let's call it 300 total. A net loss to our earning potential that's very significant.

However this is probably a response to how quickly Marks became useless in the past. Most of us were sitting at Marks cap constantly a few weeks after each expansion all the way until the next one.

 

[shermas]

So should I wait to roll over/open packages when I'm level 40? or is level 40 gear being awarded when people do it at a lower level?

I'm 35 or 36 and I received some level 40 armor and weapons... go ahead and roll them or open them.

 

[broony]

Can anyone tell me, do old cryptarch packages give new gear again, like house of wolves?

 

[rNilla]

Is the Chaperone really tied to a PVP quest?

it seems weird that they would bring up the wallet cap but you can earn as many as you want, when really you can't though.

 

[TacticalFailure]

Sitting in the airport, won't be back for 7-9 days. This shift at work is going to feel like forever. Can't wait to get back and start playing the expansion.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Can anyone tell me, do old cryptarc packages give new gear again, like house of wolves?

Doesn't seem like it.

 

[maomaoIYP]

So there's no way to grind for marks? Playing doesn't actually give marks? That's fucked up.
Also the game keeps crashing on me.

 

[everyday math]

Nope

 

[Magik]

No it doesn't.

God, having ao much fun. So much to do... So much to see

Restart your console? Haven't had a single crash.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Legendary marks grind is real.

[Jinjo]

New (heroic) strike list doesn't give marks?

 

[scarletham]

Legendary marks grind is real.

Well there had to be some grind, didn't there?

 

[SpecX]

Red Bull time. Laid down for a minute while my daughter was getting ready for school and knocked out for 30 mins.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

all exotic quests are/were pvp based

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Legendary marks grind is real.

Yeah...not a fan of this especially when so much else they got right!

Lol, it's bullshit. I called this from day 1 but was generally shouted down

Another thing and I may be missing something but getting to 280 and having half decent weapons for the raid by Friday looks like a stretch

 

[igordennis]

Nice got a red death from the deceptive engram. Didnt have that one.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Legendary marks grind is real.

Of course there has to be a grind!

 

[Axoman]

Lol, it's bullshit. I called this from day 1

You and me both buddy.

 

[Shito]

That

Spoiler

Crota

mission was SO GOOD.
While doing it I was weeping for my friends who never raided: they will never get that same feeling when doing this mission...

 

[Hawkian]

What?

 

[EloquentM]

Let's wait until Thursday before we jump to there. Agree with you on the marks though.

 

[everyday math]

You would be wrong.

 

[rNilla]

all exotic quests are/were pvp based

Not all and not with the ability to lose progress.

 

[broony]

Nope

No it doesn't.

Boooooooooooooooo.

Spoiler

Boo

 

[MechDX]

Got Hawkmoon an the One. lol

 

[DrROBschiz]

Legendary marks grind is real.

Its not meant to be the main source of gear supply anyways

Im all for the change honestly

 

[Tecnniqe]

So why are bungie putting mission quests with RNG pub events again? Its the stupidest of stupid things.

 

[DjRalford]

So I just used my first Vanguard commendation to rank up, hit the next level, but didn't get a package....?

Packages go to people for collection now instead of postmaster

 

[maomaoIYP]

Yeah, I was worried this would be the case as well.
Getting to 280 by Friday looks like an impossibility for now.

 

[Frenden]

I'm a 232 on a character and close to it on a second once it hits 40. I only see two people even close to that online right now. I'm thinking getting gear together for the raid this soon, especially with the mark cap situation, is going to be rough.

 

[BondFancy]

Got Hawkmoon an the One. lol

I don't want the Hawkmoon,

Spoiler

I really want Hawkmoon, I'm scared RNGesus will forsake me if I make it known

 

[blue_phazon]

So why are bungie putting mission quests with RNG pub events again? Its the stupidest of stupid things.

Why is it stupid?

Events come eventually (most likely in times intervals like normal public events), so it's not really RNG

 

[Klyka]

Ok so THIS came in the mail just in time for launch:

No fucking broken link this time I hope, imgur is acting shit

 

[ipitythafool32]

Ugh at 93% on this Chaperone bounty .. Seems like it's taking me forever

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Anyone want to help out on the VIP Kill Questline with me?
