I finally got the 10 rare fusion rifles to dissemble. Gunsmith was selling rare ones so I bought 9 of them to finish that part of the exotic bounty. Next part, 200 kills with a fusion rifle in the weekly nightfall.....

The loot cave was ridiculous, but it was also a huge crutch propping the game up. Personally I didn't spend crazy hours at the cave, it was more of something I knew was there once the lack of any reward was getting to me. I'm grinding bounties, maybe doing a strike, then if seeing my rewards come up blanks again get me down, I knew I could shoot over to the cave for 30 minutes to an hour and pick up a pocketful of blue engrams and at least hope to get something. I rarely did, but at least it was something (in 49 hours of game time, I have had all of 3 legendary drops. 3, and one wasn't even for my class. And, two of them came from Cryptark upgrade gift purple engrams, not anything directly farmed).

I tried playing earlier, and it just loomed even heavier over me that nothing was coming my way, even though that short time it was ridiculous to think it should. It's just that I knew the vacant drops would just be forever vacant, that security blanket was gone. I could play the rest of the game and just figure if nothing dropped I could go sit in front of the loot cave slot machine and get something, even if it was a pittance. Now, I have to sit at the end of a strike or whatever, see my end match rewards blank out, then look at my inventory and I came out with all of one blue engram and a couple green trash. It's a depressing thing, really.

I am probably in the minority here, I like how difficult it is to get legendary gear. It feels so much more rewarding when you do get it. Plus if everyone was running around with full legendary sets after just a couple weeks it wouldn't be as special when you do get one.

yeah I feel the same way. my only issue is that legendary engrams aren't guaranteed to be just that, they need to change it.

Had a decent night. My first non-purchased/queen legendary from a blue engram (Hex Caster auto rifle) and now am working towards the exotic bounty for Bad Juju.

Played the living daylights outta this game,and yes I was guilty of farming the cave,but not to the degree I've seen others talk about,I would get bored outta my mind real quick and have to do something else.

I was excited to see what the Queen was going to offer,only to be let down when it turned out her weapons are only rares and worse than what I already have...then I thought I would finally get my shards and what-not by doing the Queens missions so I can legendary stuff and break it down...as I need a butt load of those things to level up my gear..

But then what happens?? Bungie makes it so getting and breaking down that legendary stuff just give me glimmer? are you freaking kidding me??

As much as I love/ed this game Bungie is making it very hard to get enjoyment out of it...and what's worse?

FINALLY getting that legendary engram,only to have it turn into a rare item...if Bungie is going to "neuter" things,than they ought to change the engram drops...rare should be rare,and legendary should be legendary...and don't EVEN get me started on getting another classes gear when I'm a Hunter....

I will play the game with my step-son as he enjoys the hell out of it,and the sad thing is that I do to at times,but the decision making at Bungie is all messed up.

I feel the same. I have no problems with it being difficult and even if you don't get drops lvling up the vanguard/crucible people with bounties are not difficult at all then you can just buy them.

I do however would like completing the strikes and stuff to give a bit more of a reward for doing it.

I also have no clue why people are saying you need to play crucible to get stuff? It's just as random there as it is in story mode. Lol.

I agree with this. You can play an hour of crucible and get nothing, while someone can hop in for two rounds and get 4 items. I'd even settle for getting one or two rare engrams for crucible and strike missions. If those were more common it wouldn't matter so much that you don't get many legendary items out of them, you would feel like you had more of a chance.
