From Deej over at Bungie.net

Hey, Bungie Community.

I hope you had a nice weekend.

We noticed that you noticed that we already have plans for upcoming content packs in Destiny.

We do! They have activity names (which may or may not change) and we have a really good idea what they're going to contain. They even have placeholder nodes in the Director, as you've already discovered.

But neither of the Expansion Packs we've announced are finished.

People at Bungie are hard at work to complete content for our first post launch pack, "The Dark Below," as I type these words. It will be finished soon. It releases in December. Soon, we'll detail it out for you so you can see exactly what we've been working on.

Thanks for playing. Thanks for the passion. We know you want details. We'll talk more soon.

Feel free to continue flipping your shit because they're probably lying anyways, right?

I've got a Dr Nope (about halfway upgraded), but can buy the Shadow Price. Worth the marks considering I have the Dr Nope? Will never be rolling an exotic primary once I get the Ice Breaker so I need the best legendary primary AR possible otherwise (without relying on a drop).

I do have the raid scout solar primary as my go to, but want a solid AR as well. Dr Nope is nice, but is wildly inaccurate at least for now until it's upgraded all the way. It does have a radar while scoped in though...

I know we're all excited about the patch... but has anyone considered that Bungie will probably nerf drop rates as a result? If all those Purples are going to be Legendary items or resources now, it makes a great deal of sense that since the rate of legendary conversion will be up by x10 that they'll drop way less.

Anyone know for sure?

Logic would say yes, purple engram drop rates would be lowered for balance since it's guaranteed now. I think a lot of people have speculated this. Especially since Bungie is trying to force people into a specific way to level up at a specific rate, judging by how they nerfed the loot cave and queen bounties.

No one knows for sure, but I think the main rage was around it decrypting into something below its color. Despite the description text saying it was possible. So, a lot of this patch is just going to be fixing the psychological rage aspect of things. Items being rare isn't a bad thing, some of the coherent minds would agree with that, it's just the .... punch to the guy that's being fixed.

Imho they should lower the drop rate, yes, but it'll still result in added drops anyways if they put guaranteed drops into the Strikes like they're saying.

Nice! I tried gambling for a skull of ahamkara and got the dumb looking one with feathers instead. At least it was for the right class.

I got the exact same roll, and ended up dismantling it after much thought. Defense was high, but I didn't particularly care for the upgrades. Plus no Intellect, which I'm pretty keen on having. Made for some nice upgrades to my legendary helm in the meantime.

Well it's in their best interest to say that, they're not going to be like "Oh yeh you found us out, the content is there already" Of course they'd deny that it's already on the disc.

So I just picked the game up a day ago and have been playing it since last night.

Is this it? This is what people were insanely hyped for? The lack of content is as clear as day. I dunno what happened but it's clear something went down during development. Also the story is laughable. I'm fine with games having none-existent stories, but advertising the game as being this "legendary adventure" is hilarious.

To be fair it's not a horrible game, but I feel completely ripped off paying $60 for it. Just my two cents

just wait till you see the dlc

15$ for 4 missions where you escort peter to terminals and fight off waves of enemies, 2 full strikes with bosses that take a million shots to kill, and a raid you can only play with 6 friends

sound good

For some that's not a problem, I've only seen 5 legendary engrams. The legendary stuff I have earned was for the Titan (I only have a hunter and warlock) -_-

Each time I play with people who don't have ammo packs I just... what are people using their glimmer on if not ammo packs?
Click to expand...

I know right?

On a further note, I think the individual ammo synthesis should be scrapped and we just have one general box that gives ammo for all three weapons. It's too cumbersome to go into the menu to do this, and using one box already puts a 5 minute cooldown on all the boxes.

Fuck, what sniper rifle is this?

Please don't tell me its the Supremacy. I don't want to do those queen missions.

Yo! Are you going to be doing the Nightfall today after work? I get home at 7 PM Eastern and I think last week we did it around that time, so I could join if you have the spot open.

I have the Arc Supremacy too and a homing Legendary Arc rocket launcher and an Arc Zombie Apocalypse Legendary machine gun. It should be easy!

Look at the Vanquisher VIII .. will make you a happy man - your enemys will be victims but I'd say that's the weapon to go!

How common are exotics in pvp? Unless its like the Regime which appeared at a point where a large amount of people had ample coins saved up I haven't really seen very many. I think I would notice getting slaughtered by them, usually if I take a match seriously and I'm not trying to get some kind of bounty done ASAP I usually go on 10 or above killing sprees.

I remember one time in a control map I literally did NOTHING but hide in the same position the whole match with the ice breaker, didn't die, nobody cared to stop me from sniping them, were to obsessed with getting to the zones lol, of course I got jack in rewards for that match.

Suros is everywhere right now but other than that, they're pretty rare.

There was at least one Pocket Infinity all over the crucible last night ;)

Honestly, despite SUROS-Gate, I found myself killed by "other auto rifle" more of the time. It was like, if I were killed by an AR, 30% chance it was Suros, 30% chance it was Shingen, 40% chance Galahad/Silvered Hushwind/Shadow Price/etc.
