I havent seen these threads, but im assuming what they are butt hurt about is that some people got exotic gear by turning in an uncommon engram, i only got a bunch of rare gear and one legendary from it, but a few people got exotic gear from a green engram or so i have read.
Some people think that if an engram is a certain color then that should be what you get from it.
I really like that its random and the color only affects a chance system from the cryptarch, sure it might be frustrating to get a white piece from an engram that should be better but thats the breaks.
i personally plan to get all of my exotic gear from the agent of the nine vendor, i like what he has to offer.

Same here. I'm gonna be stocking up on strange coins. I just need to know where to find them
-
I got all of my strange coins from daily gold tier event rewards, which is a random reward, but i think i was reading that once the full game launches there will be other ways to get them but im not sure what other ways they mean
-
That's where I got mine from, but I only got a handful. Four at most think. Then I had something called ascendant energy. It was weird.
-
Yeah i have that to, iv been searching around and i cant find anything about what its used for. all i can tell is that its used to upgrade something, maybe in combination with glimmer to make weapons hit harder or give armor more defense, but i havent seen any that use it yet. i have seen armor and weapons that use the other material items and thats why i think that is what its for.

People get exotics from legendaries, when u decrypt an uncommon, you can get a common, uncommon, or rare, if you decrypt a rare you can get a uncommon,rare, or legendary if you decrypt a legendary, rare,legendary,or exotic

I just remember getting white items from green engrams -___________-
-
That happened to me like 6 times =/
-
I also think the cryptarch lv is a factor also. It might be a modifier that increase your chance for rare items as well as what LV items you can buy.
-
oh yes this is true, i forgot to mention that. im pretty sure the guardians who got exotic gear from cryptarch had a ridiculously high cryptarch level which they claims is the reason they got exotic gear from him
-
Rank 5, got a exotic assault rifle
-
I was at lvl 15. The only thing above average I got was 2 rare guns and 1 rare class item.
-
Personally I would love to see how much it effects that. Knowing how these games are I bet it's small. Like you said you more than likely need a very high LV to even have a shot at one.

WOOT! lol i guess i was right. people are just butt hurt because they didnt get anything good from the cryptarch, thats my opinion.
-
To be honest I thought that whatever colour the engram was, that [i]was[/i] the rarity of the obtained item. Wups. :P
-
I got a rare item from a legendary engram :(

Edited by TehW3apon: 8/6/2014 4:35:01 AMDitto. And I was Cryptarch level 7. Damn Cryptarch dickbag.
-
Beats me, I don't think I even got a rare engram, nevermind legendary or exotic :P
-
i thought so to but i have gotten both rare and common gear from uncommon engrams so its based on a random chance that cryptach will decode it properly, enhance it, or completely ruin it.

Who was the Agent of the Nine? Where was he?

Edited by DSmoke: 8/5/2014 7:02:54 PM[url]http://www.destinydb.com/vendors/2796397637-agent-of-the-nine[/url] he hasnt appeared in the tower yet but they have already set up times when he will appear and he has exotic gear for us to spend the strange coins on i already have 8 strange coins so ill be ready when i see him if i get my guardian and his loot otherwise ill be grinding for strange coins
-
Where did they get those dates from? A bunch are before launch. But it looks like 2 days of every week.
-
lol yeah i was wondering the same thing, i think its for testing purposes, but anyway all im know for sure is that it says he will be there a few days after launch and hopefully i can get me something
-
Lol, until we find out it costs 100 strange coins to purchase said gear :-P
-
Edited by DSmoke: 8/5/2014 7:50:42 PMlol they already posted prices, possible that they will change, but as far a DestinyDB has shown me i have enough on my guardian for at least one piece of armor and i cant lie that im not excited about that
