Patch 1.0.2: Discuss here ~ How do you feel?
The new patch will be arriving shortly for us, and just in time! I am curious to see how the community feels about it, so I decided to make a major thread for C&C.
Personally I, highly agree with this patch! I was happy with the last, and this one goes with it nicely. I'll now be very happy when receiving legendary engrams! Even blues now I guess.
Only thing is, people have already found many new farming "caves". So next week, when this patch goes live, expect to see a lot of 29s when they start racking up the shards lol.
In case you missed the patch notes, I'll paste it here for you in courtesy of Bungie!
[quote]The 1.0.2 patch will go live next week, and includes several changes to the Cryptarch and Engram experience. These changes guarantee that Engrams will always decode into items at or above the quality of an engram.
Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change.
Cryptarch Changes
Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly.
Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics
Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items
Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items
Activity Changes
Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards
Item Changes
Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade
Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already...[/quote]

I think that they are addressing issues that need to be addressed, but they are going a little beyond what they need to do. This game rewards people who play every aspect, from bounties, daily and weekly activities and everything in between, there is no shortage of equipment anywhere. To put yourself into a position to where you can be effective in the Raid, you need to practice multiple elements of the game to be able to contribute. Making all Legendary engrams give legendary equipment is going to flood the players inventory and soon, those of us who have that rare moment of pure excitement when decoding, will have something like "oh great, now I have 3 stacks of ascendant shards". It is a little bit on the excessive side to change the Cryptarch that much in my opinion. It seems that the people who are having a hard time getting gear have yet to flush out some of the spots in the game where equipment drops. Just last night I played with 4-5 different people who were spending hours looking for 10 Relic Iron....hours.....for just 10. I think the fix is directed towards the people who are feeling cheated because they don't have/can't get/don't deserve the equipment that other people either work hard to get or are rewarded it from extreme patience and activity. Flame away.
