The 1.0.2 patch will go live next week, and includes several changes to the Cryptarch and Engram experience. These changes guarantee that Engrams will always decode into items at or above the quality of an engram.

Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change.

Cryptarch Changes

Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly.

  • Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics
  • Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items
  • Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items

Activity Changes

  • Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards
  • Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade
  • Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let's be honest—even if you don't, we all know they were blues already...

I honestly think that Engrams are stupid... make them so they can only be Ascendant Shards or whatever. Don't give people legendary items

Cool.

Game was still great but I won't argue with a cryptarch buff.

Give it a few days and I'm sure people will find new stuff to whine about.

I can see it now: "I KEEP FINDING SHIT FOR OTHER CLASSES INSTEAD OF MY OWN!" *gets asked if they have full Legendaries on their current character* "YES, BUT WHO CARES? I WANT MORE FOR MY CLASS THAT I'M USING, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE DOWNGRADES."

20+hours playing, finally got 1 purple engram drop, my first.

And it ended up being 2 strange coins,

I almost traded the game in right after.


Game is still fun, but only with friends for me, The game will probably be very good in a year if they stick with it, and don't just go sequal mode.

That's actually not bad. Strange Coins aren't exactly easy to come by and you can get some nice stuff if you save up enough of them.

I've yet to come across a legendary engram. But I did get a legendary shotgun from a rare engram

This sounds like a game that I should be getting into later rather than sooner. Slightly glad that my hype for it since its announcement years ago died out.

Yeah, the game delivered is functional enough but it has absolutely nothing on the game we were promised.

Patrols, dude. Easily. You only get 25 rep from a Strike and Patrols give you 10 each.

By the time you complete one Strike, you could have done like 10 Patrols, give or take depending on which ones you get/do.

I wouldn't say whine....more like actual complains of features and issues that have already been remedied in similar MMO's or FPS's and even Bungie's previous games.
If people didn't "whine" about Final Fantasy XIV's initial launch or Diablo 3's initial launch, they would have never gotten the stellar Realm Reborn or Reaper of Souls.
Just my thoughts....

Agreed. FFXIV and D3 were shit at launch and the legions of people with legitimate complaints got it fixed.
