So, do we just want the Exotic Class item farm to feel like -blam!-?

I really don’t understand the design philosophy of this activity. Over the past 4+ years we seem to be moving more towards targeted farming and making farming easier with multi perk rolls on weapons, crafting, armor stat targeting mods, guaranteed high roll armor, etc. Now, for some reason, the most anticipated item in the game can only be farmed via a repayable ~30 min long activity or via chests which takes a lot over 30 minutes. This wasn’t that much of an issue with double drops, but now it’s been fixed with no compensation to make farming easier. Not to mention farming dual destiny requires a second player and communication, which means it takes significantly more effort to farm than activities you can just do with your brain turned off. This is also such an easy issue to fix. Make it drop from other sources. Coop campaign missions, GM nightfalls, competitive PvP, literally anywhere. Make it a guaranteed drop on overthrow completions like Ergo Sum. It feels like we just randomly took 10 steps back after making so much progress over the years. Edit: I guess I have to clarify that the issue is not difficulty even though I never mentioned it once in the post. The issue is the time investment and the sources of the drop being unrewarding. The mission is easy, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying to farm since it actively requires communication and a teammate. Chests are not real and no one in their right mind would farm chests if given any other option. I really font understand why some players want to get less rewards for the same time investment.

    I can’t believe I just tried to read though this garbage. Correct me if I’m wrong but you’re upset they patched a bug? If I’m wrong I’ll gladly rephrase but my guy it was a bug and an exploit. If you got double drops you’re ahead. Meanwhile for the peons we are on drop 25 by farming chests and getting necrotic and the claw again. Be happy you had double drops to exploit while it lasted. Signed a solo player that didn’t cry about running the mission.

  • I actually like farming chests, it reminds me of material farming in D1. When I just want to chill and relax I throw on some music or listen to lore while I zoom around opening chests on my skimmer. No it’s not exciting but it is relaxing and you’re still gaining xp and glimmer, but I can see how it’s not for everyone.

  • I feel the armor stat targeting mods are worthless and hardly ever work anyway. Even with them on I never get good stat rolls on anything. Always just the bare minimum of 10 in that stat. I get better rolls without them.

    • So let me get this right: you don't like the mission that guarantees the item every time you complete it; and you don't like that you can open any chest to get it? What kinda farm were you expecting? Lol The chest farm is so easy. I do it to relax at the end of the day, and I get an item for each character. It usually takes doing 1 overthrow to get it, that's it. And that's too much to do? Lol Another example: it's yall, not the game.

          Considering the toxic responses against those whose disabilities prevent them completing the mission in the first place, I have absolutely no sympathy. It's gate kept by the mission, and after completion you get the option to farm the mission or open paleheart chests. Double reward was a bug, it was never meant to exist, and now it's fixed. Either spend the time to get the reward or don't get the reward, seeing as you've been able to farm it for bugged rewards, you at least are able to do the mission.

            • Doing the entire dual destiny mission for 1 single drop of this class item is an absolute waste of time and NEVER viable. To be honest, it wasn't even really viable for two drops. Farming chests on the pale heart is doable, but it's just the absolute most boring thing in the world. Put it this way, my 7 year plays with me and he is usually really happy to do random farming activities (run strikes, play some gambit, do the seasonal activities, go shoot things in patrol on Neomuna, heck, he even likes replaying the old replayable mission), but he absolutely refuses to chest farm for me at the pale heart. He would literally rather not play the game then to chest farm - that's how boring of an activity this is. Bungie, this is an absolute -blam!- joke. These class items have to drop from other locations.

              • OMG! It's almost like a highly desirable item is equally hard to obtain! Crazy! Bungie made a mistake... a bug. Then, they fixed it. It's not a conspiracy to make you "work harder," and you have no grounds to complain about them correcting a mistake. It's their game. Bungie decides how long something should take and how difficult it should be. If you don't enjoy the game, then don't play.

                • Please it’s an easy farm and you can multi task. I’m so tired of reading people crying about opening chests. Users wombo detecter, equip a sniper and go.

                  • The issue I have is with the rolls I get. Literally, all of them are just cheeks. And it's always spirit of the dragon with this spirit with a dragon with that. For Pete's sake, give me something else, 64 different possibilities, and I'm only seeing 1. Put some sort of protection where at least once a week you'll see a good and different rolls you don't have

                    • I just run overthrow to farm Ergo Sum and open every chest I see. Usually get at least 1-2 a run.

                      • Chests take like 10 to 15 minutes if you actually know how to farm. You only need to open the normal chests, 5 chests per area 1 to 1.5 minutes per area. Switch from area to area. Opening the 45 to 50 required chests takes half the time as it does to do a run of the mission. The mission was only good because you could get 2 drops in 25 minutes which was normally faster than most peoples bad farming strats.

                        • Bro, either beat the really simple and easy exotic mission or open the chests in the even simpler and easier patrol zone. Complaining because Bungie fixed a bug is insane

                          • This topic is hilarious and the debates are awesome.. Opening chests is fun. It’s content. You’re having fun 🤣. Definitely less loot is the way to go.

                            • I noticed that some older exotics have been reworked and the new ones come with a second additional perk that’s overlooked. This is of course not included in the exotic class item as it offers two very basic perks from two exotics. Therefore, it’s sometimes better to have an extension of a single perk, in some instances where the perk of said exotic isn’t even included in the class items. Hopefully they add more to the exotic class items because at this point in time, it not worth it for most build creators.
