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

•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.

1 ReplySeriously you guys really need to pick up the phone and ask some devs who know what they are talking about to help you out. All you seem to be doing is dancing around a campfire smoking juju grass and praying to the RNG god to throw you a bone to whizz into the gears of the game.

The 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. It makes no sense to have 'only these legendaries' not provide mats when all others do. 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. And I'm fairly certain, like Dragon Age, Destiny won't see another dime of my money again.

Well, looks like that little cave on mars is now going to be the next cave hot spot. Good thing I have been getting nothing but rares from legendary engrams now, not as hurt as I would be if I was getting constant exotics like before

14 RepliesNo point in doing queens missions anymore.

Oh so those 5 helmets I won back to back are completely useless now. The event has been killed not nerfed but "KILLED" I understand why they did this and that was to prevent higher lvl players from lvling as fast as we did. But they plan on running this til october 6th. They should have thought of something different than just legendary then. In my eyes the event ended yesterday.

1 Replythis is awesome - the dev notes have some good stuff on there. sounds like they are listening
-
5 RepliesLOWERED engram drop rates? Are you -blam!-ing serious ?!?
-
Wait so if I die when soloing a mission I won't get engram's anymore.... How retarded is that??
-
2 RepliesWait... Reduced engram drop rates in missions? Engrams actually drop in missions? I've spent 27 levels being shown otherwise.
-
Meanwhile the Vex and Fallen at Venus desperately try to build a wall of defense

7 RepliesEdited by Appell: 9/25/2014 5:56:15 PMWhat do they mean by a "hard wipe". Either way if they make engram farming through other activities i'm fine with the change, but they better make that change otherwise the game just got a whole lot duller.

6 RepliesLULZ in the face of those saying it wasn't an exploit =) "economy exploits"
-
At least I don't have to waste time doing those drawn out Queens missions anymore.
-
1 ReplyThere's no such thing as an economy if you can't buy or sell to more than one party. GG random rewards being more stupid than before.
-
Well I guess I'm done with Queens stuff then...
-
No point of playing anymore :)
-
RIP to any hope I had of getting an exotic weapon.
-
6 Replies....so there's no reason to the queen's bounties then.
-
2 Replieswow, 40 seconds? i wonder how regular bounties like the queens fallen headshots one will be after this. of course these are caves, and i always farmed em off drop ships, so maybe not such a big deal. will have to see. at least they have a good sense of humor about it.
-
Ill be over here waiting for people to give me a reason to do the queens missions. Ridiculous patch. This game just gets worse and worse the longer its out.
-
3 RepliesGood thing they're focusing on the real issues and not all the issues that make the game unplayable.
-
2 Replies"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" People just had to brag about it... =/ There goes my plan to upgrade my gear.
-
Yet no change to the bad algorithm/sloppy dice/vengeful RNGesus that gives the consistently redundant rewards from kill orders. Gee effin gee. #RIPlootcave #tipsa40tothememory
-
Well there goes the point of doing queens emissary. Good thing I didn't do my missions last nigh. JK wasted opportunity to upgrade my gear.
-
Seriously queens wrath items wont give ascendant material? Well -blam!- me right in the beard guess ill be stuck at 27 for another week.
