Nah, I'm pretty much 50/50 from my 3 characters since DLC dropped. Maybe a little bit more favoring shards. But then again, I did break down 2 shotguns and 2 HMG after fully leveling it.



So with the patch going live I don't need to worry about waking up at 4am. Oh wells, good night sleep for me

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I didn't tell Bungie, I swear!!

I was planning to exploit it as much as you guys

[biggie62]

You're right, I really didn't feel like waking up at 4am so I told Bungie to make it go live today so that I wouldn't be tempted to double dip. I like my beauty rest

If VoG is dropping 331 weapons, then who's down to run it today? ....already ran Crota 3 times

 

[biggie62]

Only exotics are 331. And Jr already did the chest and Aetheon 3x (each character). He did it with us on Friday.

 

[gabe]

Only exotics are 331.

Still excludes Mytho, right? 

 

[biggie62]

I would believe it did, but I can't confirm. I suggest to monitor reddit, they'll show it. I wouldn't be surprised if that would be the case.

So legendarys are still 300? ...I so want the Vision of Confluence at 331.

Jr. ran VoG ...I thought yall did Crota on Friday?

We did Crota for him 1x after 3x of Gatekeeper + Aetheon.

bruh... bungie doesnt care. nightfall being able to give 9 or more coins means they probably just tweaked it so thats more likely than a good weapon drop. F*** man! they dont do anything to help us out. why are they pulling back the hive breaker upgrade? then they acknowledge how infrequent exotic drops are? theyre mocking us lol. "VERY infrequent" such disrespect. 

 

[biggie62]

Looks like Radiant materials can be received from the daily event completion package in the tower.

They had to do something with the Black Hammer and that perk. The extra damage on hive would mess with the crit shots and you couldn't chain them together like the weapon is intended to do. They are disabling it until they can get a fix for it.

They did a good job with it actually. You ever get 5 strange coins from a nightfall? I have. A lot actually. And it makes sense because you get 9 from weekly heroic. Anything less than 9 should be off the loot table. 

They have to pull back hive breaker on the Black Hammer because the White Nail perk doesn't work with it. I'd rather have that instead of the hive disruptor and no White Nail perk.

THIS. 

 Now hopefully you can get Radiant Materials from Dailys. Then I'm back to doing them again.

 

[wrightone86]

Welp.....they about to remove materials from the daily public event rewards again. I am sure they didn't mean for the radiants to be in the chances, and just the old ascendant materials since that is what it listed.

 

[stilljustblaze]

Damn biggie. Damn.

Why you have to tell your folk to do us rec and put the hot fix today.

Damn.

 

[infraren]

So the first chest no longer will light up and have possible goodies?

 

[blaz3n]

First chest is only radiant materials..
