1 ReplyThere's just very little left to do now that farming has been all but eliminated, and enegram drop rates have been lessened. It was already hard enough to get anything useful out of the few enegram a you did get. Now that they are even more rare I don't see myself getting anything I can use for the foreseeable future.

Edited by Coyote_x_Starrk: 9/25/2014 9:23:31 PMThank god Bungie finally did something and removed it. Now people will actually have to earn their gear.

Edited by JimGnarkill: 9/25/2014 9:24:30 PMYou realize people farm far more spawns than just the loot cave right? Most of the other spots just require you to jump off a cliff or die to respawn the enemies, nerfing spawns isnt the right answer... that just makes patrols and missions in the area harder to complete

3 RepliesI've said this many times, farming is okay and everyone does it but people shouldn't have thought they'd get away with the cave bullshit for very long. Level 3 should not drop level 20 gear.

10 RepliesEdited by DjSwagNinja: 9/25/2014 5:47:00 PMWay to go -blam!-ers. I just wanted some engrams to level up the cryptarch. Whiny babies. Now I have to replay a bunch of strikes. Woohoo.

1 ReplyExcerpt from the DEV patch notes Destiny: The Cave The social experience of a cave farming run is amazing: the herding to get a team of Guardians all behind the line and firing in the right direction, the rush to grab the loot, the scramble when the panic wave starts, the beckoning glow from inside the cave. The speed at which the community organized around this activity was inspiring and humbling to us. But shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities. Its a sad mixture but its is being worked on.

I don't care about the cave either way, but taking the shards from Queens gear is absolutely stupid. It already takes so long to level gear.
-
I think they really beat some sense into the Cryptarch.. Turned in 2 blue engrams; got Doctor Nope and Epitaph :0

6 RepliesBegin the Moon story mission "The Dark Beyond." Change the difficulty to be a few levels below where you're currently at, so it's not too easy. Play through the mission up through the cut scene where your character finds the dead guardian outside the big moon door. When the fallen come rushing out of the door, shoot all of the thralls that charge you, but ignore the Lead Knight Stay at the bottom of the stairs, and let the knight you. You'll re-spawn immediately before the door opened, but whatever loot the thralls dropped will remain. Repeat over and over again, and watch the loot pile up. Profit.

Edited by Lach: 9/25/2014 6:09:45 PMFor those who are too lazy to click on a link: Summary In Hotfix 5, we made a few changes to reduce the effectiveness of a humbling number of economy exploits. Check out these Destiny Dev Notes to read a summary of our impressions since launch. Activities Missions Reduced drop rate of engrams following a hard wipe [fixed in 1.0.1.4] Queen's Wrath Event Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items World Destinations The Hive of the holy “Treasure Cave” have realized the futility of their endless assault on Skywatch and have retired to lick their wounds and plan their next attack. Respawn timers for monster caves in Skywatch have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 6) Respawn timers for monster caves in Forgotten Shore have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in Ember Caves have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in the Shattered Coast have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in the Barrens have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 20) by Deej

15 RepliesLol they took one of the more enjoyable things out then. Rip dear sweet cave
-
A loot based game wrapped in a FPS coating. Reduce the loot drop rate and focuss on the FPS Bungie?
-
7 RepliesI think we should be more upset about the queens wrath armor not being to be dismantled anymore into ascendant material

Thank you for my Monte Carlo my dear cave!

9 RepliesThe cave nerf, cmon guys.. I cave farmed and it was a little too easy. The queens bounty nerf, kinda bullshit & gives no incentive to keep doing them. The real kick in the balls for a lot of people (that isn't really realized yet) is the engram drop % lowering for hard wipes. This is going to hurt casual players the most, which sucks if you're forced to be casual due to spouse, children, work, etc. Say you're level 22 doing the lelel 24 vanguard strike. You wipe once, someone leaves, it then becomes a 45 minute to an hour ordeal to complete the mission, wiping a few more times at that. You finish only to get nothing. That would piss me off beyond belief. I see where they are trying to fix the Crota farm, but this wasn't the way. If they were going to make all these nerfs, wouldn't it be a fair trade at the same time to fix the Cryptarch (like they said they are looking into) so he actually gives you consistently something worthwhile? This seriously has snapped me out of my addiction & I don't even feel like playing after work.

Didn't get a chance to play for a couple days.. What exactly got patched? No spawns from that cave, or change of proximity?
-
18 RepliesDo Bungie seriously not realise WHY people farm the cave? It is because the rest of the game and the actual story missions are boring as f*ck.
-
Oh and farming the cave is exciting...!!!!!!!

Edited by Sernath: 9/25/2014 6:20:24 PMThe cave we can all live with, but the queen's gear? That's a Bungle moment right there.
-
Hmmm. Just because the coveted cave went down doesn't mean you can't get loots. I've been getting great gear from strike missions. They're my new faves.
