No one wants ascendant materials from legendary engrams
It's the plain truth, it's as disappointing as getting a blue from a purple. For the love of god, fix this!

But if you were guaranteed to hit your opponent's battleship every turn, it wouldn't be a very fun game. I think the whole RNG aspect to the Cryptarch follows the same sort of design. Handing in engrams is like a mini-game within the game. Like a slot machine. You need the consolation prizes in there to make the average prizes feel more rewarding. They obviously went overboard at launch by having blues decrypt from purple engrams, but I think Bungie have struck a nice balance currently. This "fix" I feel would be going overboard in the opposite direction.

It doesn't need fixing, it states there's a chance of materials

Please stop sharding on me during nightfalls bungie!

2 Repliesat least lower the odds of matts just a bit more

Yep, engrams need to always be what they're supposed to be, and if you don't want it, scrap it and you get shards as a bonus.
-
Agree completely. If I want a shard or energy I'll turn the gun or armor I get into it. Otherwise it should guarantee a legendary item.
-
Considering I'm just going to break down the weapon if it isn't exotic and accendant shards are going to be useful again soon I'm happy to get them.

3 RepliesIf gear came out of every single legendary they'd lower the drop rate of engrams. Ask yourself if you really want that.

Nothing to fix, it works as intended -Bungie

1 ReplyHonestly, I'd rather the material because that's what the legendary items are gonna end up as anyways
-
I do!!! I'm always upgrading legendaries
-
I don't mind ascendant energy so much, though I am almost out of stuff to upgrade with it and I still have 140+ of them. But shards...yeah. I'm creeping close to 400 shards and all I ever use them for now is Iron Banner armor. Which is all maxed now anyway.

Dude, I love when I get materials from a hard to find legendary engram. I love it. I've found it's a good predictor that my day is going to go like total shit, also.

Legendary engrams are just disappointing in general. I have never gotten something usefull from a legendary engram ever, any gear I have that is legendary has been purchased or earned through raiding. I recently created a new hunter and leveled them up, throughout 2 weeks of play I found 3 Legendary engrams (lucky right?!). The first one turned into shards which I couldn't use because I had no legendary gear at the time. The other two turned into Titan chests, ya, not so lucky. It's hard enough to get Legendary engrams to drop because when I play I play a lot, a lot of hours spent trying to get gear. It sucks getting materials out of them when I also have the option to dismantle if I don't need it. It's even more useless getting materials for something you don't even have. The worst kick in the face is getting legendary gear from an engram that isn't even your class! They call it RNG, but it's so punishing that it never feels like the player is being rewarded for anything in the game and that's incredibly frustrating. Not to mention that you only get so many rewards per activity each week, so then having to wait after getting shafted for 2 weeks is pretty disheartening.

I want ascendant materials from every engram

8 RepliesYeah if we want materials from engrams, we can get them from dismantling the weapons or armour that we get from them. They should just what they say they are when we hand them in.
-
1 ReplyMost legendary weapons or armour that I get from legendary engrams end up getting dismantled into shards or energy anyway, all this does is eliminate a step lol.
-
Ascendant materials are legendary so you can't complain about getting them.
