(Trending for all the wrong reasons lol)
Okay so in summary it seems these are the facts as determined by you guys:
Any engram received pre-DLC will contain pre-DLC items.
The contents of engrams are not determined upon drop, they are determined upon cashing them in.
However the loot table for the engram is in fact determined upon drop.
Blue engrams can be transferred across characters and 99.99% of the time will have items for the character who cashes them in
It seems the best course of action is this:
Prior to DLC launch, level all factions and cryptarch to the brink of rank up. After the DLC drops, you can quickly rank up for packages that may contain post-DLC gear
Also save your motes for exotic engrams for post-DLC purchase for a chance to receive the new exotics, and [b]possibly[/b] the old ones with the new light level or damage.
And for those who are butt hurt about the word "fool"... Think in terms of Gandalf.

So Far I've saved up 30 packages and 15 legendary engram's .
-
Faction gear post dlc is supposed to be equal too but not greater than Crota raid gear. It'll be 36 light is my understanding
-
No point whatsoever By week 3 everyone will have everything nothing will be rare. Then what do you do until next year? Pray to rng I guess 👅
-
Save cryptarch/faction packages by leaving them with the postmaster, engrams are locked to the current dlc as soon as you receive them.

Incorrect

They are time stamped [spoiler]i think [/spoiler]

Fly you fools!

I've been saying this for weeks... Glad someone finally made a thread that caught on...But some people are still missing the point. Oh well. Their loss. Also, getting ready for a new dlc takes time. Start prepping...
-
Already did this long ago even with the Legendarys
-
You're an idiot...they are predetermined

[quote] Any engram received pre-DLC will contain pre-DLC items. Engrams are not determined upon drop, they are determined upon cashing them in[/quote] That's contradictory, the first statement is correct.
-
Engrams are time stamped however packages are not, you can just save your motes and then spend them on exotic engrams from xur, i know I'm going to try that to get the ACD/0 FEEDBACK FENCE for titans, it looks great.
-
It's real easy to see who the real Xmas noobs are in this post haha I love it..
-
Exotic engrams rank up your cryptarch super fast, saving them is more packages containing HoW items themselves. The more you save the more you rank up, who's the fool now?
-
Actually in the last DLC they were predetermined. The system date stamps that engram so you will not get upgraded stuff with old engrams. Bungie warned us of that last time. What people did do is keep engrams to lvl up several times and then use the new engrams to try to obtain upgraded weapons.
-
And get burned out from destiny again on the first 3 weeks after the dlc hits? Nah, im not going too take extra precautions other than saving up glimmer items (i already do anyway), got lots of coins and the motes are for iron banner. I own every exotic, an engram would have too much of a chance to be something i already have. I usually level factions once every 2 or 3 days or so, i really dont need the newest gear the first day of dlc. Itll come, better yet, as long as i dont own everything there is to get, there is more incentive to play the game
-
I tested this and you're wrong. Last time I had 9 exotic and 22 legendary engrams from before the DLC came out. When they were opened two weeks after they all turned out to be pre-DLC items.
-
Bungie is a liar, the engrams will turn into whatever is most recent. They don't want you to stockpile and get ahead-don't believe them
-
Fool of a Took!
-
This, assuming everything else remains the same.

Edited by Sour Diesel: 3/30/2015 6:25:47 PMThe part about engrams received containing pre dlc items isn't "the facts as determined by you guys" It's just facts. Period. Bungie confirmed themselves before dark below dropped that any engrams received before dlc would contain pre dlc items. Clear as day in an update. So by insinuating that people that said that are wrong you just make yourself look dumb as shit.
-
The drop rate of exotic engram is wayyyy toooo lowwwwww.
-
When does the DLC drop? That's my question
-
I always thought engram rewards were decided once you picked them up, not when cashing them in as thats when the icon appears. You pick it up, theres a second delay as rng does it thing & voila... its a legendary gauntlet engram.
-
You realize any engrams you save now won't give you anything for the next DLC right?
