This is way down the list of issues but I really hope they re-vamp the glimmer system. I absolutely hate glimmer farming. Hate it.

I don't mind grinding out boutines, strikes, etc but glimmer farming is the worst. And I'm always short on cash in this game.

it ruins Iron Banner week.

So little time in a week to squeeze in to rank up then get glimmer to buy all the shit

Yeah I wanted the RL but refused to glimmer farm again after doing it twice for Timur's Lash. As it is now the game basically forces you to mindlessly farm glimmer which is not how Bungie intended I assume.

Hey guys, if anyone's doing HM Crota checkpoint and needs two more let me know!

Narmer212 (PSN: GKW212) and myself (PSN: bytestyle) need another HM Crota kill :)
I have sword experience but will be on my warlock so it's my least favorite to run the sword on.

Would on my Hunter but my young'un is doing Nightfall.
Got to love child labor

No it won't.

Nothing specific to announce at this time, but the mistakes we made with the DLC1 reward economy will not be repeated:

Mistakes like:
  • Vendor gear invalidating the effort of VOG Raiders
  • Upgrading an Exotic reseting its talents

Our philosophy about rewards/loot continue to evolve as we see how players play and react.

We will continue to improve acquisition stories and frequency (My understanding of the perception is that Crota's End drop rates are much improved vs. Vault of Glass: footnote below), lessen the grind and get players to the fun parts of their arsenal faster.


On CE drop rates vs. VOG:
The Forever 29 meme was a killer for us.

We sat down and talked about the rewards for VoG and the rates vs. CE and ended up with the following:
  • increase drop rates globally in CE: we wanted dedicated players to be around 32 or real close by the time Hard mode came out.
  • increase the variability of perks that a given piece can roll.
    the goal here: players would reach 32 easier than 30, but would have more customization and options to build the perfect set (in terms of stats, perks, weapon affinities)
The part where this didn't work as well as we'd hoped is with the Shard economy. Shards are a are a barrier between you and equipping a sweet new piece of gear.

We want fewer barriers to equipping upgrades. The shard economies erect these barriers between players and the new piece of gear they just got.

We're not intending to adjust the shard economy for this Tier -- we don't want to invalidate player effort (again). But removing the barrier between that new drop you're excited to get and actually being able to equip it as a member of your arsenal are something we will do going forward.

please dont make shards completely worthless though...

Any Warlocks have advice for running the sword? I did it today on normal and the floaty jump makes it very hard to get the timing down. Doesn't help that you're also a glass cannon.

Trying to do Crota HM has been brutal tonight. I think I'm 0/3 on posts here. Tried responding to a few posts and it wouldn't go through. Or, PSN invites are taking their good old time to arrive so groups fill up. Blah.
