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 답변Right 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.

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]

5 답변Oh boo hoo you can't have max gear on day one of dlc then turn around bitching about nothing to do.

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.

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 답변They 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.

2 답변this 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?
