The Farming Cave; Destiny's tavern.

Dear Bungie, Today it hit me all of the sudden; Destiny is spiraling down when it comes to the social aspect of the game. The reason? You guys stopped us from farming at THE cave in the Cosmodrome. It seems like ages ago: me standing atop the rock with an auto-rifle in my hands. Aiming down the sight and pulling the trigger over and over and over. Confetti-shots lid up the screen as if i was looking at the Xmas-tree in JFK, friends shouting when the color purple suddenly appeared and the booing for whoever dared to stand too close to the cave. More than often you would get invites by lone-wolfs who were shooting in the dark as well. People who wanted to chat a lil while shooting bullets into oblivion, and now and again you would keep in touch with those peeps. My friendslist has become much more expanded because of the cave, i got the latest bungie-gossip, destiny-tips-and-tricks and even real life travel tips from cities abroad. It felt like a tavern to me bungie, and ill bet a lot of people agree. We dont need a square to sit down, dance or point at each other. We want to shoot mindlessly into a cave while making new friends...and even have a (albeit) small chance for some loot. (not talking about legendary or exotic loot) Of course the looting wasnt the way it was supposed to go, but you can figure something out right? nerf the drop-rate or something? But please give us our Tavern back. Bring back the Farming Cave. Give us back our social gathering spot where we can stand in line and shoot into a cave...but be happy together. The silence in this game is deafening!!

  • I think the "disturb the remains" thing they put in the cave is funny.

  • I actually randomly saw one of my irl friends at the cave when i went there with a couple of my other irl buddies. It was neat.

    Idea for Bungie: Massive idea: A Loot Cave Event. Better then any Queen. Once a Month maybe. Massive Social Event. Like a singles night, speed dating event, for people to meet and team up for raids, but snare a few strange coins and a new hand cannon maybe. Maybe up the frequency and intensity of public events and "the enemies are moving against each other" events to frame dropping proportions. Make the weakness a stength. Yes. I like it. Edit: Joke bounties for the event. Farm 1,000 hive in 30 minutes. Kill all 8 hive spawns in the cave 50 times.

      There's another but I don't want bungie to patch it. Hint: fallen. I don't want to say anymore

      • I know this , since they uped the time rate on re spawns this game seems even more lonely. I leveled my character to 20 at the same spot the cave is at but I didn't stand in front of the cave I ran back and forth sometimes standing on the building above or the hill were the fallen ran out of I use to have a blast it was a non stop action romp , jumping dodging , shooting melee , now it's a fuking ghost town . I know a lot of people just stood there but if that's what they wanted to do then let them they spent 60 ? On the game so let them play like they want to, why does bungie feel the need to control its community ?

        • Why don't you just join a clan and be social that way ? And far as I can tell everyone who stayed by the cave didn't really go anywhere there stuck at a level and hey and far as leveling goes I got my hunter to 26 in two days and a new clan member who just got the game on Saturday is already 26

          • What is truly sad is the fact that people found spending hours of bordom sitting in one spot occasionally pulling the trigger preferable to playing the game, this is less a complaint at players and more at the repetative and frustrating game. This game has great potential but unless they actually do something about it players will leave in droves and the game will fail hard. FYI bungie just repeating same strikes /missions for bounties on a harder difficulty for near identical loot does not contitute new content.

          • It's sad that the biggest social hub for this game ended up being an unintentional exploit of the senseless loot system. They can't get much right.

          • I read this entire post and came to the realization that it's just a very well worded whine for the loot cave, shut up and earn your loot you noob.

            • I wish we had an actual tavern which we kind of do, the New Monarchy area, FWC area and a small bar or something around the Dead Orbit area, but it's so far off from everything lol.

              • There are still farming spots... but you have to find them, or rather 'how' to use them. Frankly after having the spots effectively killed by normal means many of us that know of the spots are NOT going to spread it around. Spend some time in the game and look... All they did was make it less easy... well for the novice. If you understand patterns, and areas you'll figure it out.

              • If you really were there more for the socializing than the loot, the cave is still there. The spawn rate was just upped from 6 to 40 seconds.

                • I never used the loot cave, as it didn't fit my play style personally, but I think it should've stayed. It was a social thing. There are other caves, though.

                • How is shooting in to a cave for hours on end fun? You know in any other mmo when u come across a group of peeps farming in that way would result in a ban because 99% of the time they were bots or something to that matter. I for one am glad it's gone if u want to farm go run around and do missions I get tons of drops playing the game as intended,but hey its whatever

                    • I would like to see a dedicated shooting range in the tower, built as the loot cave, and it drops engrams that decode into glimmer or ether seed equivalents. The legendary engrams could decode into ascendant materials since the new patch will give them a new legendary rank.
