The main thing that is driving me away from the game, is the fact that three pieces of my armor need ascendant shards to level up (21 more total) . The first week I probably found 13. Since then, zero. So I'm sitting on a bunch of gear that can't level up. I know it's supposed to be a grind, but at least give us a few missions that have a decent (1/5) chance of dropping an ascendant shard, otherwise we might as well be pissing in the wind. Do that with all the hard to find items. I don't have eight plus hours to put into this game daily, I have a family.
Make legendary turn into legendary, rare into rare, etc.
I can say I will not be buying any DLC if this doesn't change. I'll go back to Warframe where at least I have an idea where to find drops that I need.... And they also have alerts for those hard to find items, and DLC is free.
I'm not mouthing any other gamers, just the workings of the game, so I hope bungie sees this and I hope no childish idiots mouth me because I'm making a point and stating my opinion.
I bought a ps4 because of destiny, and I'm starting to become let down.
***Note: I have had helpful replies and I have some things to work on to get some ascendant shards, I appreciate all of your help.
To the Trolls, stop coming in and giving me Shit about my post

Hey, doing those Queens Wrath Kill Order missions get you new event gear, but chances are, you'll get doubles of each, so dismantle them, you get 3 shards
-
I only ever found one. I need like 64 to upgrade everything. I never got one from a public event I do about 3 a day.
-
Complete queen bounties, get legendary gear, dismantle for ascendant materials, level up your light, become lvl 30, complete raid and nightfall.. That should be your agenda
-
I feel the exact same same! I kinda wish I dropped $60 on platinum in Warframe instead of buying Destiny :/
-
Atleast you don't need ascendant motes which aren't even in the game right now like me..... Been stuck at 27 for a week

Queens Wrath Missions
-
quit complaining about stuff that is easy to get, have patience you bum.
-
1. Make second/third char, make your daily mission with heroic thingy turned up, so you get at least 1 shard/energy every day per char. 2. After that do 1 random event everyday, got pretty much 50% chance of getting them so you get even more. 3. Start making QW missions = 100% chance of getting legendary at the end, destroy it = 2 shards
-
This grind is a cake walk compared to other mmo's, not saying this is a mmo just saying this is a easy grind
-
Do the queens order missions and disassemble your rewards. Guaranteed legendaries.
-
O honestly have had a bunch drop for me but o lyrics from rare engrams. Save your rare engrams until you have about 8-10 then turn them in. For some reason or another it seems this has given me a better chance of not only receiving motes and ascendant shards but legendary gear as well. :) hope this helps you buddy. Hood luck to you.

Funny you brought up Warframe...as I was playing this last night I was like wow...I think I'm more satisfied with the amount of content I got in Warframe (for free) over what this game is offering for the inital buying price. Now don't get me wrong, I love this game and I've had an absolute blast with it. But seeing how this Queen's Wrath event is playing out really sealed the deal for me in not buying the future expansions. The main game is just criminally short for what we paid for it and unless they add actual new content, I will probably not come back once I finish the first raid. I REALLY hope Bungie proves me wrong, because the core is here for a great game, it just needs to be finished.

What do legendary helmets dismantle to?
-
Same boat. Dailies, public events, strikes..nothing drops them for me.
-
Do daily events, I get about 10 a day doing that.

Edited by mtwr24: 9/23/2014 5:51:37 PMI agree about the engrams. They should guarantee the level of rarity at least, with a smaller chance of getting better gear and possibly an equal chance for materials. So a purple will give either a legendary or legendary materials with an equal chance for either or possibly, small chance, an exotic. It should never give you a lower rarity level. The drop chance of engrams could be lowered to balance it but at least this way you wouldn't feel robbed 8/10 times you hand in an engram.
-
Huh. I guess I shouldn't be angry that I got 11 shards from completing the nightfall strike. I have about 18 now xD
-
Daily heroic gives you 2 shards, either energy or ascended. 1 public event a dat guarantees either a shard or energy. Nightfall mission has a chance of giving you 12shards as a reward etc etc...
-
Do public events. @ X:00 & X:30 in the [i]Mothyards[/i] there will almost always be a public event of some sort. Also @ X:10-15 & X:40-45 there usually spawns a Devil walker as part of an event in the [i]Rocketyards[/i].

Edited by Doc SoCal: 9/23/2014 4:50:47 PMYou don't have to max out everything in two weeks.... I blame Pokémon...
-
Needing 48 helium/spin metals etcetera per item is a little jarring.
-
Edited by OutHouse: 9/23/2014 4:42:52 PMall of your armor will require ascendant shards. Yes they suck to farm. Its your gear wall..
-
Edited by bigbirdjones: 9/23/2014 3:34:08 PMYou post this right after the queens wrath update lol? Well go do all her bounties and youll receive new items that allow you to take on lvl 24 random heroic missions. At the end of every mission you get one random new legendary. Break that down into three shards. You get 12-18 a day...
-
If you complete the daily heroic mission on the hardest difficulty, you get twice the ascendant material.
-
If it's not raid gear or exotic, don't waste the shards.
-
Just do the Queens wrath missions and dismantle the rewards.
