Hot Take: Despite the bugs, FotL is loot rich.... and the Pale Heart is the best it's ever been.
A follow up to my last PSA.
1. Pale Heart class item farm is totally worth it. They remapped a lot of the world chests, that's why I feel okay about sharing this info... It's EVERYTHING again!
HVTs, every node chest, every free roam chest... every encounter chest, and the tier 4 drops are fixed. I'm averaging 1 every 5 mins...
2. Haunted Lost Sectors and Xur. Xur has the class item this week... which I wasn't expecting. So, you can grind LSs for both candy and engrams for focusing weapons while grinding Strange Coins for Xur and class item drops.
Criticisms I have/ideas for changes:
Normal LSs should grant a guaranteed engram with max headless ones... 10 during the 1st phase. Expert should grant 2.
Manifested Pages should be exchangeable with Grandma for Engrams... 10 per engram.

Bungie takes anything and makes it into a grind fest. Every other game I play or see always has the least amount of grind to an event that's short and once a year type thing and full of rewards. Bungie, on the other hand, takes it to another level. Everything has to be a full on time sinking grind. These events should be the type where you don't have to worry much about loot, and the currency should drop easy and plentiful. The prices for 1 weapon and exotic class are way too much. They need to lower it a bit. But I guess mayhem being here this week does help. About 300 a match isn't too bad I guess.

FotL is ..... Fine, it's whatever. Kinda boring using the same old LS, but, meh, idc. It's loot is ok, at least the shoty is kinda different. The Stale Fart on the other hand is just bunk. It's had it's 15 minutes in the sun and should probably be sunset. Boring, lonely and uninteresting after you've been through there a 100 or so times. I really wish they'd open it up to regular MM, but I know that ain't never gunna happen, so it'll go the way of the neon mess they bought out before this last expansion, for me at least anyway.

I will admit, I was surprised and pleased when I saw I was getting Strange Coins from Haunted Sectors.

I enjoy it but I hate the lack of matchmaking for expert lost sectors

FOTL is a boring slog. Need a new event every year to keep players engaged.

Let’s be real. My vault is at 612 items. I deleted a lot. But I basically only use a variant of 20 weapons max between PvP and pve. Thank goodness for the app. My main problem is finding enough alloy to weapon smith. I’m maxed on shards because I stick with my article gear and change exotics based on need and the current meta.

2 RepliesAt the very least dismantling Pages could give us candy 👍

1 ReplyIt's really loot-poor. Far fewer drops and the cost of 1000 candy to get ONE weapon is far too high. Drops should be doubled. Costs should be half that.
-
4 RepliesAre those exotic class items worth it though? Really? They generally feel like less than half the exotic containing the perk they stole from it. Add that to their use only on the new subclass which is everything and nothing at the same time. Bungie needs to understand that many of us know less when we see it even if it is new and shiny

Thank you

On point 1, I was hoping once Bungie was convinced that the changes to T&C's regarding macros was working that they would roll back the chest nerf and I will once again farm the Pale Heart for any rolls I'm missing after FoTL. Loot is indeed plentiful, maxed strange coins without realising and around 20k candy without target farming means a lot of focused class item picking. Good suggestion on manifested pages given the book seems a little shorter this time round.

Has anyone had an exotic class item drop from pale heart chests after getting it from Eva the first time? I've done dual destiny on my titan just not my other two yet. I've been at it for a while and nothing. Not sure if it's just bad rng for me.

1 ReplyI agree with point number 2. Only number 2 just because I haven't gone to the pale heart for a while, so I can't agree with 1 until I do. Back to number 2, though. I've got multiple good rolls of the weapons I want, maxed out strange coins really quick, and completed the event challenges I wanted to.

2 RepliesPale heart now 5 min per class item ?? What changed ?

Agreed and I’m having fun.

Manifested Pages should be exchangeable with Grandma for Engrams... 10 per engram.[/quote] I just wanted to comment on this > def agree.. the reward structure always so tight always in favor of not rewarding enough.. and that leads to the player-base just constantly thinking Bungie is against them.. also with the diminishing returns which I also think needs investigation like the perk weighting-issue... Ex: I completed a solo expert getting 12/13 headless in 17min.. get 1 engram.. .. ........... 1 or 2 weapons.. same as 8. (this was kinda deflating) Then said ok.. lets try the playlist regular.. team demolished 13 like butter.. no engram. I think you bring up a good way that should be looked for anything to earn more engrams than what drops.. and thats turn in another material if you want to convert into engrams.. whether its FOTL pages like you mention.. or gambit like glimmer.. or something else that builds up as you play games > this will fight off bad RNG engram drops imo. -
2 RepliesWhat are you doing that I wasn’t? I was farming overthrows and I was getting one class item every two full runs if I was lucky. Most of the time it would drop in the middle of my 3rd.

“Grandma” 🤣
