The cave needed to be nerfed, it was ridiculous, and while I did a fair bit of dark beyond engram farming I don't have a problem with that change either. It's still my go-to spot for fusion rifle and super multi-kill bounties. I think they should increase the drop rate for high level strikes. And what definitely needs to change is legendary engrams. I've turned in 15 to the cryptarch now and still have just two positive results (one a cloak...). That's incredibly frustrating. I've gone from being excited by a drop to dreading turning them in.

Oddly, I ran devil's lair three times this morning and all three times someone in the group (not me of course) got a purple engram off a trash mob. I'd run a lot more strikes if I knew I had a real shot at a legendary engram.

I never did the queen's stuff for ascended materials. That gear is an upgrade on my hunter and titan and I want the sniper rifle and ship, so I'm still doing them. Although I'm only doing them once or twice a day.

Do the cloaks ****ing do ANYTHING?

Seriously, **** the RNG in this game. I finally get my 23rd mote of light for the exotic engram, and it gives me a ****ing gunslinger helmet. Hunter is the ONE class I don't have at 20, and I plan on making him a bladedancer. It's a really violating feeling to only get the chance at one of those things once every week or so (at the rate I'm able to play) and get something just completely useless.

re cloaks doing anything: Not that I'm aware of, other than look cool (or not). Maybe there's an exotic somewhere that does more.

I think the AR nerf might be live. I bought the exotic (which is great) this morning and it can hardly touch anything with it beyond medium range. Although at medium it's a beast. Haven't tested with shadow price (what I'd been using) to confirm my suspicion but that's my gut feeling. And I'm okay with that. I could one shot anything without shields with shadow price from extreme range and that seemed a bit overkill to me for a weapon with that clip and rate of fire. It was like a 40-odd round full auto version of a scout rifle.

The cloaks are garbage then. I was just thinking that I kept getting ones that sucked. Nope....they're worthless altogether.

I got the sunsinger chest last week when I was hoping for the voidwalker. Hopefully I'll eventually get both so I can switch when I swap subclasses. I figured I was lucky to even get something I can even use. I expected to get a defender or bladedancer chest, something I'd never use.

If you pause around 20:23....you can see what the story was supposed to be before it got changed for the shipped game. Yeah....it could be fake but it sounds pretty legit.

useless for someone that has a ton of time to play- yes. To us casual crowd, its the best way to grab a legendary class helm & chest piece. Makes it a bit easier, because now I only have to buy vanguard gloves, leggings, boots and use my coins on a weapon. Bungie also will be updating strike & heroic bosses chance to drop engrams, or some sort of reward.

The master chief collection is going to nuke their fan base. Me included.

But that's the problem. Bungie loyaltist like myself are the majority. Guys who were pissed when Bungie left halo. We are the community that helped then set records at release.

They need to fix what is going on.

Maybe I'm missing your point.. so why exactly are the queens missions useless? Guys with more experience do the higher level raids/strikes, while us casuals that only have a few hours a week can do her mini-strikes to get some gear so we actually stand a chance in the 24+ content. Are you suggesting we shouldn't be allowed to play the higher level stuff because we didn't sit in front of a cave for 8 hours a day shooting? :D

What's funny is that they're are still players farming the cave. They upped the respawn time from 6 seconds to 40 seconds. Guaranteed people are still going to be there.

hunter? I take it like my titan sash? Yeah, the purple ones should give a once stat at least.

Yeah....I thought maybe they'd give you bonuses to your abilities.....but I guess not.
