I too am a little vexed (see what I did there?) about the apparent retreat the Hive Blades have beat since the last update. Why for you take away the point of Eris and her continued presence at the tower? I'm all upgraded but one or two of her (still available) bounties are impossible now coz Blades be all like, not there anymore!?

Just do the mission it's not that hard lol swear destiny is full on Christmas scrubs. Sad to see that all the vets left cause of the infestation of scrubs this game has.

Not gone completely you can still get your swords from the first crota story mission. It's much faster than waiting for them to spawn anyway
