I need more of these runs :D

Those look like weekly nightfall strike rewards. Are they?

Damm I need to do the nightfall strike, yet keep getting the error code "bee" despite port forwarding my console. This game is definitely going to the trash soon as this is now a paper weight that doesn't work



Game is unstable for me, too. Is it just me or do cryptarch rep rewards become trash after rank 30+.Leveled him 3x and got the same items. Blue chest and blue weapon over and over, been like than since I hit 30s.

On the up side. All the blues that I saved up (around 23) converted to all blues and one legendary. Maybe someone done goofed on the patch only affecting post patch items.



Since when does an "MMO model" mean virtually all of the story and lore for the universe is completely absent from the game and requires you to collect cards to read short little blurbs about on a website?

Most games of this type have a menu option where you can read up on everything. Destiny was going to have that, they cut back on the story late in development and brought someone in to do these stupid cards. It's not an "MMO model", it's a "Destiny model". A "DLC model".

Regarding the update, I never minded purples going down to blues. All this update does is take away some of the suspense from decrypting things. Too many people thought they'd now be getting all these purples they used to get that would turn blue, not realizing Bungie would make it so a lot less purples drop.

They still need a lot of work on shards and energy and all of these stupid limits on what you can do. It's like they want to be different and have a loot type game where you can only play so much per week. It's like F2P only it costs $60 (to start).

It is definitivy dropping more... even the patch says that.... they increased the purpe drops.

PS. I don't want even more shards and evergies... maybe it is because I do Raids weekly but I have over 40 of each and get everytime more, more and more... every Raid I did I got 10-15 shards/energies.

No, it says you might now get rare or purple rewards for certain raids. They drop less in actual action. Not only is this the most (only) logical conclusion, this has been the seemingly universal feedback to the patch.

Regarding what you get during the raid, that's awesome. Of course, this being a completely random loot game and all, YMMV. Again, the general consensus is the loot system is broken and the grinding is flawed. You could have an inventory with 12 exotics and 20 legendaries and 60 shards plus 99 energy, doesn't mean anything.

GAF feedback seems the same... some got Legendary and others not... the people that didn't get are being upset so trying to says it is less but for example my case I already got 4 Legendary Engrams since patch.

The drop rate seems to be normal.

It is the best loot system in any similar game I already played... it works and it is fun... to be fair I didn't have issue with the Purple giving Blue too because I got 2 Exotic and a lot of Purple from them... and a lot of Legendary from Blue too.



You still don't understand how these games work apparently. Maybe that's why you think the game is good. I will reply again when you understand RNG anything deeper than what you read on GAF ;)

In my opinion you don't understand how good the loot system is... or the game is not for you.

These games you say... well most have a awful loot system... Warframe for example... or Diablo pre 2.1... or Phantasy Star Online... or FFXIV.
