We all thought that we had it good and that marks were going to be so plentiful during ttk. We were wrong. So very very wrong.
In the old days (aka yesterday) you could cap out at [b]600 marks per week.[/b] 100 vanguard and crucible marks for each character, 100*2*3 = 600. Simple math.
As of September 15, there are now very few ways to earn marks. This ultimately results in a new cap of [b]240 marks per week.[/b] (give or take how many legendaries you dismantle that week, but each one only drops 3 so good luck) Let me explain. Heroics are now the only way to earn legendary marks and are on a per account basis, not per character. Dailies (crucible and story) both award you 15 a day. Weekly heroics award you 30 per week. 15*2*7+30 = 240.
What the actual hell Bungie? The most annoying part of this is you're waving the Year 2 versions of our exotics in our faces, and charging [b]150 marks[/b] to get them back. I'm speechless. Just wow.
[spoiler]Suros Arsenal was a scam too[/spoiler]
Edit 1: Just a small note, I'm aware that there's not much of a legendary mark drought right now because of quests and what not. But it'll come. Trust me
Edit 2: Okay let me highlight a part of the post that some people aren't quite understanding. I'm aware that there are a lot of easy ways to get legendaries now. I'm just salty that I have to go through this whole process over multiple weeks just to get my y1 exotics back.
Edit 3: Another thing that people don't understand. I know that the [b]cap[/b] on marks is gone. But that's not the issue. The issue is that there is now a very limited amount of ways to acquire legendary marks.
Edit 4: There is no playlist that straight up gives you marks for each strike anymore. Normal crucible does not give you marks anymore. Public events do not give you marks anymore.
Edit 5: Bungie did actually say multiple times that old marks wouldn't convert into legendary marks. This was a bit of a d*ck move, but props to them for being upfront about it.
Edit 6: This guy summed up my feelings pretty well:
[quote]I think he is complaining about the deception. No cap means no cap. Not no cap on how much you can earn in a week but there is no way to earn them. And more importantly, they did just straight up lower how many you can get and made it sound like you could get more.[/quote]

3 RespuestasThis disadvantages players who can only get on a few nights a week and only want to play Crucible.

3 RespuestasRight now legendary marks seem like an impossible thing to get in any meaningful quantity. It's still very early and i haven't done any of the Max light level stuff but it's discouraging that I'm not getting a few here and there. Unless I'm missing something, RNG now seems like the quickest way to get legendary and exotic items... that has me worried about endless grinding with crappy guns and armor. Maybe when I get most of the stuff it will be close to year 3 and all of that stuff will become useless and the cycle can repeat.
-
2 Respuestaswell they gotta make the game unnecessarily difficult and annoying somehow
-
The best part is that you can actually get weapons and armor faster by ranking up your factions. I did that a bunch on Wednesday and got a crucible auto rifle, vanguard sniper, New Monarchy LMG, and new monarchy helm and chest. So there's that. [spoiler]Unfortunately I have no proof that can easily be seen, as my TTK collectors edition doesn't get here till tomorrow, so most ppl might think I'm lying about it (can't equip because I'm stuck at 34 at the moment). But I did get the New New Monarchy ship on my warlock, and you can definitely see that. :)[/spoiler]

8 RespuestasYou have summoned me.

2 RespuestasIt's even more annoying that EVERYTHING needs legendary marks.
-
So you can't burn through the game as fast, big deal. Oh! I know! Try this! Going out side!
-
5 RespuestasOh boo hoo you can't have max gear on day one of dlc then turn around bitching about nothing to do.
-
Yeah its absolutely bullshit. Yeah sure maybe they say a couple things up front but they hardly ever explain their reasoning for the stupid shit they do.
-
They don't want people to fly through the content in a week, by being able to buy everything the vendors have all at once. Doesn't bother me I'm trying to enjoy it.
-
I see what you're saying, but in all honesty, I just don't care at this point. Even if they were giving out 6 per strike like before, you'd have to grind well over 100 strikes to get yourself geared up. From my experience with the game, just playing that many strikes could feasibly give you your gear through RNG. It's not even worth the stress, man. Just sit back. Shoot stuff in the face, and talk smack.

I got 150 but j can't get anymore cause I'm not able to do the daily yet
-
1 RespuestaSo the heroic strike list doesn't actually give you marks?
-
Yep. Sadly because of this Im thinking about going to another game for a while. Ready for Halo 5. It just seems like its outta reach to buy anything with these marks. Window shopping to the extreme. Already bored with TTK. All I can do is run strikes. My friends are rarely on for me to do anything else like the court of Oryx, etc. I love Destiny too. And this sucks.
-
1 RespuestaThey can't make the game too easy for us. It's a bit frustrating but I'll live. Xur will be selling some exotics tomorrow night. Yeah I want SUROS year 2 but I can wait for it.
-
I had over 150 and it's been 2 days. We're fine
-
3 RespuestasPatch 2.2.0 >We realised that legendary marks were to hard to get. You can go to the store and buy 200 for $10. >legendary marks can no longer drop.
-
Git guuuuud
-
Not the first time bungie has "misquoted" something. Not a big deal thou either.
-
Editado por Fuelled Oats: 9/16/2015 9:49:17 PMI'd give you two marks a week. I think it's fairer now. Who wants all the guns, that's no fun at all. Edit: in fact I'd cap everyone a three guns a year.
-
1 RespuestaHow am I supposed to get them if I'm not light 260 or whatever you need to play strikes?
-
Sorry you don't like the changes to the game to each their own hope it changes in your favor sometime 😆 No sarcasm if you was thinking that 😊
-
1 RespuestaI think I saw in another post that it is pretty is to get them from POE.
-
This... Give it 2 weeks.

3 RespuestasThere isn't a cap for legendary marks

2 Respuestasthis comment may be a little off topic, but I was curious, when you "level up" a weapon without actually unlocking the nodes, you get more stuff when you break it down. i.e. unleveled green 1 weapon part, completely leveled green (just the xp) 3-5 weapon parts, does this also apply to legendaries now? like unleveled 3 leveled 6-8 marks?
