NOTICE: Vanguard Marks Limit BS

I've had 200 Vanguard Marks chillin' there in my inventory for a week now and it won't go higher than that. Hey, that's great, y'kno, not letting us save up enough marks to purchase 2 items at one time, since the weapons are 150 marks each, helmets 120, and speeders 175. So fantastic, there's a limit on what you can save. Great. Maybe these marks are pretty big items, y'know, bigger than a bottlecap. Hell, maybe they weigh a pound each and you can't fit more than 200 of them in your spacesuit pockets of the distant future. So there's one limit. Fine. I get it, but we already have a WEEKLY limit on the marks we can make, so that means there's now 2 separate ceilings on what we can earn in the game... that's pretty ridiculous. What are you afraid of, Bungie? People keeping what they earn and finally spending it once they're finally ABLE to spend it? 200 marks and not even Rank 2 on Vanguard Reputation. I can't even use them yet, so why can't I keep earning them to save for when I can use them? I'm doing the work, let me earn my reward! And you know what's even more ridiculous? Yup. You guessed it. The fact that when I've hit my limit on 200 marks in my inventory I continue to "EARN" towards my 100 weekly Vanguard marks. So even though I haven't earned a single mark this week? Yeah. That's right. It says I've made 64/100 marks for the week without even receiving one. This is complete BS. Completely ridiculous game design. Remove the limit on what you can save, or at the least SAY somewhere in the damn game that you have a limit. Would it kill you designers to put in 200/200 marks in the UI? Would it kill you designers to put in ???/25,000 glimmer? Show the damn limits if there are any and don't let them interfere with each other. If I can't hold more than 200 marks, fine, but I shouldn't be using up ANY of my weekly limits unless I'm actually receiving the marks. FFS people this is Game Design 101. [b]EDIT: Anyone effected by this please report the second paragraph's issue as a bug. We shouldn't be losing our weekly limit marks if we aren't actually receiving them! This simply has to be a bug.[/b]

  • I agree wholeheartedly. Keep the weekly cap (as it's tied to an achievement, so wouldnt be fair on new players or anyone trying to get it) Either remove or at the very least increase the total Mark cap to say idk 500? 200 is too limiting, imagine if your wallet only let you put in 200 bucks, and if you tried to put more in it said no.... #destinyproblems

      • You know what? I had the same exact problem once. I had 200 Marks with nothing in particular I wanted to buy. And it was the beginning of the weekly cycle so I had a hundred Marks for the week that I couldn't actually get. Terrible. So I bought two pairs of boots and broke them down for Shards. The shards went into the Vault and went out to earn more Marks. Simple.

      • You are mad because you can't hoard marks? The weekly cap gripe is a non-starter.

      • just buy legendary gear (weapons or armor) and break it down. buy the rare sparrows and maybe upgrade them, i happen to like air breaking versus the over boost on timebreaker.

      • I can understand weekly caps because I see them all the time in mmorpgs on the PC though it still sucks. However setting such a low hard cap on how many vanguard marks you can actually hold is stupid when I don't even need shards or energy anymore. Every gun I have that I actually use on a regular basis for any type of situation is fully upgraded and I have 191 shards after leveling up 9 raid pieces and 7 exotic armor pieces I just randomly upgrade sidegrade pieces which really don't affect my playstyle or gameplay at all. It is just completely ridiculous.

      • I lost 50 spinmetal cus I figured that marks earned outside of crucibel shouldn't count towards the crucibel limit. Little did I know.

        • Because of this bug I lost 82 marks to the ether. Not the end of the world, but seriously annoying. Could've had a fancy sparrow, but instead I have 5 shards. This seriously needs to be fixed!

        • Did not realize the game had a cap of 200 vangaurd marks, so i spent them on 2 legendary boots and dismantled them for shards. The problem is that I have already gotten credit for100 marks this week. So now i have 70 vanguard marks and CANNOT earn any more this week. I have LOST 100 marks this week that I have earned. I feel cheated and betrayed for playing the game. How can I earn a mark if I am already at cap? I dont have any problem earning the 100 marks back now that I can carry them, but the fact that I cannot is simply infuriating.

          • The hard cap doesn't bother me as much as the weekly cap, seeing as the marks are the only reason I'd want to play Destiny anymore.

          • Hey Hushkun, I think it's dumb that the game says you earn marks when your capped. To be fair, Idk how you have so many marks and not level 3 yet. I would think that's almost impossible. It takes hardly anything to level up the NPC'S. As far as a solution I've seen players post about showing a UI that tracks the status of marks of glimmer etc. Personally I think the marks the game says you have earned for the week should go into the postmaster. Under that handy lost item category. But even though that's my thoughts. Still doesn't solve the problem. Cause more farming can still occur. I'd write a thread in the support forums about the marks. I've posted a few things in support and received an answer within 2 minutes of posting. It's been really nice. Hope that helps a bit bud.

            • I'm fine with the hard cap of 200 but the weekly cap should be removed for vanguard and crucible. If we want to farm let us farm.

            • I have no problem with the cap being 200, but there should really an indication in your inventory as you say (200/200, 25000/25000 for glimmer). And the weekly earned marks should not continue to rise if you're maxed out. I don't know why you feel like you have to save enough to buy two items at the time, but they probably made the max so you can't hoard marks for future expansions.

              • I agree... hard caps on top of weekly caps is just bad design.

                • Clearly cap limits should be indicated. It is annoying that they exist, but I understand why. If I was going to whine about a cap I'd complain about only being able to have 1 exotic gun equipped. It just breaks up the flow of the game. I have to stop, store one gun, activate another, and then get back to shooting. Why? It doesn't stop me from using the guns. All it does is make a tedious and tiresome inventory management take place in the middle of a firefight. I earned my weapons. Let me equip and use them. Only 1 exotic armor I get. Only 1 exotic gun? Sorry, that's just arbitrarily foolish.

                  Every Tuesday it takes literally 4 hours to cap vanguard marks. That just ain't right.

                  • since they have no plans to release trading there is no reason for a mark limit, its as if they had trading and got rid of it suddenly.

                  • I agree. A cap on marks set at 200 is ridiculous. Makes no sense

                  • This game does not warn you or inform you about a lot of things. Limitations being the main one. I don't know how much glimmer I didn't receive after I realized I was at the cap. Why are there limitations anyway, this game is about grinding most people would say. Get out there and grind away but not past this limit????? How does that make any sense. Bungie might as well say hey you can only play for 2 hours a day then and put a timeout break on the game. It is not like they are losing money on me earning more than 100 marks a week, I ALREADY PAID 60 BUCKS, so if I play 100 level 24 strikes the result should be 600 marks or crucible till my thumbs fall off let me earn what I am working for. You don't want players shooting at loot caves cause that's not how you believe destiny should be played, but actually playing the game does not reward you past a certain point, so what else is left to do......I guess shoot into a cave

                      They also cap glimmer at 15,000. Which is really low. No such thing as banks in the future Also it's rare when 95% of commenters are in agreement on anything. Good to see people, good to see.

                      • I'm not so concerned about it really. There's an inventory limit on everything in destiny. Weapons, emblems armour and vault, etc. Focus on upgrading your reputation, and you'll be able to spend it. Once you hit lvl 20,you stop earning experience for your character, once your xp maxes on your gear, that gets "wasted" as well, so I guess you forgot to complain about that in your rant. That's the rules and limitations, so play within it. You want to play chess, but you complain because the King can only move one space, and expect someone to change the rules. Good luck buddy!
