Cryptarch Package nerfed? Or just plain old back luck?
So, my Trollar-... Er, Cryptarch, is currently Level 34. As you all know (Or should, by this point), when you level up the Cryptarch past a certain level (5 or 6, I believe), you get a Cryptarch Package, which holds Blue and/or Legendary Engrams. The last time I actually got a Legendary was at level 21. That was 13 levels and 39000 reputation ago. So, did the Cryptarch Packages get a nerf to their Legendary chance, or is my luck just really, really bad?

2 RepliesEdited by ARMAGEDDONITE: 12/9/2014 5:01:04 AMI have gotten..... absolutely.... zero legendaries since patch. Best i got was a shader that the outfitter sells. Before the patch, every level i got, oh, i dunno, an actual legendary engram from the care package... Edit: i have received one purple engram... period, in the entire world, since the patch

1 Replydefinitely nerfed. The called "legendary" packages handing out rare engrams. we've trade one problem for another, before at least the legendary packages earned their title it was the cryptarch that was broken. Hopefully they'll fix this as fast as they fixed the cyrptarch

1 ReplySo when they changed the Engrams to make Legendaries guaranteed to give Legendaries and Blues give an increased chance to give a legendary they failed to mention that Legendary Engrams now drop half as frequently and appear half as often as a Cryptarch reward.

Okay, here's what's going on. You know All those legendary engrams you got before the patch that always turned blue? You still get them they are just blue instead of purple. You know the purple engrams that actually gave you purple items that no one ever got anyway? They stayed the same rate of dropping. So there you go. Cryptarch packages no longer give legendary engrams as much, because they all turned into blue items anyway. Another way to think of this, is that they just got rid of the buzz kill you get when a legendary turns blue.

Best I get are shaders every 10 or so levels. At 40 now
-
Well legendary's have certainly become a lot rarer for me last 5 legendary packages and I have had nothing but blues though I did find a purple in the wild 'unfriendly giant' not bad but not as good as my steel oracle.
-
They are slow but it's a hit and miss, I actually got exotic gauntlets for my hunter from it. Only about 6-7 legendary
-
Got two legendaries today, and I got one when I hit rank 3 a while ago.
-
I've had a few, probably less than before but with them guaranteed purples, I have had more legendary's from engrams than before when they were dropping all the time and turning blue.
-
I just got the Gjallerhorn from a legendary engram that I got from the Cryptarch. I think it might just be bad luck. Plus, legendary engrams do have reduced drop rates now.
-
I'm pretty sure it's bad luck because I've gotten a couple of legendary engrams from the post master.
-
Why cant Bungie just fix things? Why are they always "fixing" and nerfing something at the same time?
-
They got nerfed so hard. I've gone from lvl 23-41 since patch and haven't seen a single one from his care package.
-
The blue guy doesn't like you
-
4 RepliesNerfed into oblivion just like purple engrams
-
Not nerfed, the rate of getting an actual legendary item from an engram was increased, and obviously to counter that increase, the odds of getting those legendary engrams to drop has decreased all around.
-
yeah they got neerfeed
-
I think the packages have been nerfed. I think I've gotten only one legendary since patch.
-
I got two purple packs of four in a row prepatch. Not one legendary either. Double -blam!- you Bungie

8 RepliesEdited by Hero We Need: 10/20/2014 10:51:54 AMThey decreased the chances of finding a legendary engram to balance legendary engrams giving 100% legendaries. It's literally the same chances of getting a legendary as before, with less QQ of getting a rare item.
-
I did get one legendary engram in maybe 4-5 levels, so it's still possible...
-
1 Replyyep Bungie nerfed the shit out of him, been getting blues after the whole patch on him came out. kinda makes leveling up the guy and getting engrams a useless chore now
-
Bungie nerfed all avenues of receiving Legendary Engrams while not mentioning it in their patch notes and diluted the Legendary loot table with Ascendant Shards and Energies if you even get one. So yes, in addition to bad luck (went up 10 levels in the last 2 weeks, got 1 purple helmet for another class) Bungie also f-ed with the loot table without even telling anyone as if we wouldn't notice.
