Let us choose between weapon or armor when decrypting prime engrams and completing challenges
3 hours of grinding milestones and challenges got me the following powerful gear:
-4 cut and run SR
-1 helm
-1 legs
All 4 SRs were under my power level for that slot. (Edited this sentence because it made sense in my head, but wasn’t accurate)
This sucks. It’s shitty. It’s unrewarding.
Let us at least choose whether we want armor or weapons. That way the odds of getting something useful increases, and you can still force terrible loot probability tables on us.
And don’t feed me that RNG shit. The high probability of getting dupes is obviously programmed into the game. There’s nothing random about getting the same gun 4 times in 3 hours while getting no other weapons.

No no, see that would give you some kind of control over your character's progression... And that is unacceptable

I got 4 subtle calamities yesterday, 3 prodigal gloves in that same day, 3 edge transits between 2 days, and 4 go figures between 3 days. Not to mention ALL the other duplicates but those are just the ones that I had to mention. I have no clue who designed this loot system, but they need to be fired asap.

This.

Prime engrams are a gift, can you imagine the grind without them? I just hope they don’t nerf them. Maybe you don’t know bungie like I do.

Edited by TJ_Dot: 10/9/2018 5:01:41 AMThis would, unfortunately, break progression for other characters seeing how once you get 600 guns, the others only need armor to rise and it would be over in a pinch

7 RepliesIt's a loot hunting game. You don't get to pick and choose what type of gear you want and when. Sometimes RNG sucks--either deal with it or move on to another game.
-
THIS would be a GREAT idea, but it's already a dead post. Bungie would NEVER go for this. This would make the game so much more enjoyable to play knowing that once you put your effort into completing something that you are GUARANTEED to be rewarded. Getting a 5th primary that drops BELOW the current weapon equip'd is not a reward, almost seems like a punishment.

3 RepliesYou make some valid points and i agree that eververse should be removed from this game.

1 ReplyI will keep a large plate of RNG bullshit on the back burner in case you DO get hungry later.

I think it's fine the way it is now, no need for changes. I have had my fair share of getting duplicates in various slots which doesn't increase my overall light level. That being said that is the whole point of the powerful engrams, they are a random chance of getting an upgrade. Now they have added Prime engrams which we did not have before to give us a better chance at getting an upgrade.

9 RepliesThe system should scan your gear and see what you need, boots, arms, special.....then boost your chance at that gear.

2 RepliesMaybe have Rahool only decrypt armor and Banshee decrypt weapons. And have it so it was random what dropped but variable so you could choose to have armor or weapon. It would bring value back to Banshee since we don’t have Arms day or test weapons, f uck I hardly even get mod components.
-
I have had the same issue. I've gotten 2 prime engrams over 3 days on one character (not farming, just normal playing). All while doing daily/weekly stuff. One was 559 and the other 558. The first decrypted to (yet another) Edge Transit and the other Trust. I needed three pieces of armor to raise up my light level. Being able to select armor or a weapon would be nice.

1 ReplyGiving you what you want is the last thing Bungie wants. As long as they keep what you really want out of reach, you'll keep playing their game. They honestly don't care as long as they get your money.
-
Why would they let us choose such sensible options between picking either gear and weapons though? Surely you love getting Edge Transit for 3/4 of all Primes and Powerful rewards too, no? 😮 All joking aside, I agree, that option should be introduced, especially if the updare on the 16th cant fix the bullshit with weapon drops and no forsaken/ continuous old exotics dropping

Edited by Dominator of Oats: 10/8/2018 4:13:01 AMThere is seriously something wrong with "powerful" rewards and these need to be addressed immediately. One week, my friend got nothing but gauntlets. This week, nothing but special. At this point his bad luck has him 10 points behind the rest of us. This is not RPG style progression. In an RPG the number goes up. How have they seriously still not figured out the BASIC progression system in this game? The clan engram takes so much time and he seriously got a 1 point drop from it because it landed in the same slot that was already his highest. You have got to be kidding me. If this is a tier 4 reward why does it drop poor rewards? It's a WASTE of time. I am so annoyed by this and so tired of the progression system being the worst BASIC thing about Destiny. It's too fast, now it's too slow, now it's dropping nothing, now it's dropping nothing but big rewards. It's not like we didn't have fun but man, here's a week long bounty, he finished it, and end of the night, BUMMER. He's not the type to post about this but seriously this is so stupid. We don't know what to tell him to do or focus on because none of it matters. We have no idea what is going to be good to do or not. This can't be intended.

1 ReplyLiterally impossible that an item from Challenges or Prime Engrams popped out lower then your MAX Light Level. Maybe it was lower then your strongest item but NOT your MAX LL.
-
Remember in D1 when you actually got this choice when ranking up with vendors (and also when ranking up vendors actually felt meaningful and not just handing in tickets at a funfair/arcade for some rubbish like a moustache comb)
-
1 ReplyI spent a good portion of the last 12-13 months begging for this and so far this plea seems to have fallen on death ears. It breaks my heart that this was a thing in Year 2 of Destiny 1 and yet it’s absent from the sequel.
-
It was nice when Bungie during Rise of Iron made it where you can choose between weapons, armor, or chroma when opening faction rank up packages

Edited by Ignostikz: 10/8/2018 12:49:17 AMi understand the frustration at not getting the right piece of gear you want so you can level up, but in a way i like it like this as it means you cant get to max light easily then complain theres nothing to do the system now is 10000% better than before at offering power engrams to level up. year 1 had about 8 power engrams a week if you did everything. Forsaken has about 27 power engrams a week, NOT including powerful drops from the raid, power drops from Shattered throne or power engrams from Iron Banner. You can also get at least one Prime engram per day. If one doesnt drop what you need, do another. There are plenty of chances

3 RepliesI'd (and I believe most people would)choose weapons over armor just about every time. Bungie knows this so I doubt it will ever happen.
