I Just Experienced a Massively Game Breaking Bug - Lots of Progress Lost!

Since I hit 20 I have been collecting and saving all of my Legendary engrams with the goal of collecting a total of 50 and decrypting them all at once. I've been playing for quite awhile and most of the engrams weren't even from the farm cave that was patched last week. (maybe 10 or so) Earlier today I started a new character of a different class to try and grab some of the exclusive Queens Wrath items incase so I would have them incase I ever needed to use another role in the future. I opened my vault as a lvl 2 Titan and all my Legendary engrams were turned to decoherent. I didn't think much of it because I remembered that if you are below 20 than it is impossible to collect a legendary. I see my friend hop on so I sign back into my main character to play some strikes and when I check the damn vault all my Legendaries are still decoherent, On my ON MY LEVEL 26!!! So pretty much all of my rare drops over the past 3 weeks are gone. I would like to know from a Bungie rep if there is anything that can be done about this? I'm really happy with the way Destiny is and it's a pretty seamless game but this one bug has bitten me in the ass real hard. TL:DR - Lvl 20 or higher places Legendary Engram in Vault for later. - Lvl 19 or below tries to access vault - Legendary Engram is changed int a Decoherent Engram - Even if the below 20 character does not touch any of the items in the vault when accessed by a character above 20 the Engram is no longer Legendary I lost 38 Legendary Engrams today this way -.-

  • With the update changing how engrams are decoded, all legendary engrams pre-patch were changed to decoherent engrams. This is because once the patch went through making all legendaries have a chance at legendary or higher outcomes, they didn't want someone decoding a million legendaries and blam, legendary every time. This was stated both in the patch preview and later in the final patch notes that came today, in case you have any issue with bungie not giving enough fair warning on the engrams being demoted.

    • it was in the patch notes All legendary engrams stored in inventory or the vault would be reduced to blues to avoid players farming them, saving them up, and then exchanging them for the now Much higher drop chances of legendary gear. Theyre degraded for good, so might as well get what you can out of em.
