Hi SteelCityBattler,
Ascendant materials can still be obtained in two different ways:
1) Chance to receive Ascendant materials by completing the Daily Heroic Mission
2) Chance to receive Ascendant materials by completing checkpoints and opening loot chests in the Vault of Glass

Level 20 cannot do either of those things without LFG. Is it now Bungie's intent that new players need LFG to upgrade their first Legendary weapons? If not, please unmark this as the answer to the question... [spoiler]Level 20 with Blue Primary and Secondary and un-upgraded Legendary machine gun seeks group for Daily Heroic or VOG so can get ascendant energy to upgrade first Legendary weapon[/spoiler] That would get a lot of help from the MUST BE LEVEL 34 AND HAVE MAX GHALLY crowd wouldn't it. How about you ask your developers if legendary weapons that require ascendant energy for upgrading are expected to still be dropping in Destiny currently; this is how the problem will be revealed/solved?

You don't have to LFG to upgrade your Legendary item. You just may not be able to upgrade your Legendary item until you've obtained enough gear to consistently complete the Daily Heroic Story Mission by yourself. There are several ways to acquire higher level gear that does not involve using LFG to find other players.

Edited by SteelCityBattler: 7/23/2015 5:12:35 PMSo you are saying that these materials that were previously always available at any level from Public Events have been deliberately made inaccessible to players until they reach a high enough level to play the daily heroic (this was level 30 yesterday)? By the way, before TDB, you would have to have a complete set of VOG armor to be at the level of yesterday's Daily Heroic. THESE MATERIALS FLOWED LIKE CANDY FROM PUBLIC EVENTS BACK THEN TO CHARACTERS AT ANY LEVEL, BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO LOW-LEVEL NEW PLAYERS; WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? How about you ask your developers if legendary weapons that require ascendant energy for upgrading are expected to still be dropping in Destiny currently; this is how the problem will be revealed/solved?

Getting ascendant material form public events were never the logical way to upgrade legendary items that needed them. It has always been the notion that you need to play the vault of glass to upgrade them. You would have to farm public events for a long time just to get enough to fully upgrade your items. Not worth it.

I upgraded my weapons without VOG but that was back in the pre-expansion days. This post is right. Destiny expansions are locking out low level players and casual PvE players. It's BS no matter what. Just like etheric light now.

Well ya they want you to buy the dlc

Exactly

Calm down

Lol at this person. I upgraded my first legendary weapon by doing vog. Yes i could have done public events but that just seemed like a waste of time and so inefficient. On all 3 of my characters i did not stay on lvl 20 for more then an hour. I got armor with enough light to do vog by doing strikes. Then got my one friend ( only friend that played at the time) to get a few of his friends to help me get through vog. After that one time I started finding ppl on here to play with when ever i wanted to play vog. So yes i see the current way okay.

Edited by TonyPartridge30: 7/23/2015 4:34:54 PMIt is important to note that Daily Heroic Story Missions from the House of Wolves DLC grant Motes of Light upon completion instead of Ascendant materials.
