Why would you even put a system that could potentially hurt players like this in the game?
You already know the story... blew a bunch of strange coins (100+). People can argue "dude learn how to read" but honestly my genuine excitement to get a new heavy outweighed all reason, because mind you I'm up at 5 AM to meet a fictional character in a video game. Not to mention my pure excitement that this is a fun and rewarding place (Destiny) where I want to spend my time and also my trust the developer will look out for players to ensure they have fun. Because man I've been having fun in TTK. A lot of it.This was just plain not fun and really left me feeling sick. Should anything that could potentially cause players a serious amount grief be put into a game? I'm not talking the bugs I endured during Crota, I dealt with that and understand sometimes it won't be perfect but this sucks. Guardians shouldn't have this feeling of loss or just plain being sick. We spent countless hours earning those coins and now they're gone because I didn't read a heading? Feels hell of cheap to me.
***Please don't respond if you're not offering a solution for myself and the other folks who are at a loss from this oversight (which judging by the forums is a good size group of players) or you're just going to say "Read, bro." Because yea I should've read the fine print, that's obvious, because otherwise I wouldn't be posting this. But instead of trashing us for being idiots why not see things from our perspective and see we're just guardians in need of some light because we made a simple mistake. Seems like a harsh punishment for not reading 1 word.
***update: Solutions: help and advice. A bro hug. Not reimbursement. Anything except you should've read better because yes we (I) should have, that's pretty obvious. Something along the lines of I've been doing X, it gets me a lot of strange coins. Don't worry I did the same thing. Hang in there. Words of encouragement. Negativity is not cool and the high horse brigade can stay away. Thanks.
***update 2: I do think legacy engrams are nice for people who don't have all the weapons, especially those that need them to convert over to year 2 exotics. Again just don't want anyone else to go through what a bunch of us have. So-- putting it first in his inventory, the price tag and not having it slightly more identifiable as a year 1, simple sub menu or a slight variation in color would've went a long way. I don't think it's crazy to point these things out, but I do think it's crazy to expect them to change anything. This is where we discuss what we like and don't like and this was one of things I didn't like. Not Legacy engrams in general just the way they were implemented and the slight screw up it allowed a lot guardians to do.

1 Odpowiedźlol I did the same thing (¬、¬)

3 OdpowiedziDid you talk to bungie about it? Worth a try yeah.

3 Odpowiedzi* I thought ghally wasn't gonna roll over to taken king, yet I got one from exotic engram from xur. Damage starting @ 160. What's the deal. Even got super good advice. Help/ thought bout this.....

4 OdpowiedziThe word legacy shoulda tipped you off

2 OdpowiedziI would just offer this opinion: 1. I think Xur selling Legacy Engrams is awesome. I have a career that takes up large portions of my time, as well as a family, so it was difficult for me to get the time to grab all of the exotics in Y1. 2. I think the implementation was poor. Putting it front and center in his inventory was a bad decision. Also the fact that [b]in game[/b] it is not clear exactly what the thing does (even though yes, Bungie is using Legacy to denote Y1 things, that is not clear to all). 3. 31 SC is absurd. I know there are people out there with hundreds upon hundreds of Coins, but I know there are others still who are like me--don't have all the time in the world to rack up all of this currency. 31 coins is two pieces of gear for me. I would also offer this advice: buy one newfangled thing at a time ;) I know it is hard, in the moment of excitement, to take caution--but with [i]this[/i] game it's always a good idea. Anyway, bro hugs all around. Sorry for your loss.

14 OdpowiedziYes, it's a bleeping video game! Why do I have to read updates? I'm a CPA and have to read enough already at work. I didn't catch it either and got stuck with 4 useless heavies. That's what 76 strange coins. Know how much that is to a casual player? "Phasing out old Xur" is a horrid explanation. I saw the 160 damage and thought well it has upgrade damage perks, they must be significant. But NO! That's really low to sell year one Engrams that you can't see what you are buying. Shame.

2 OdpowiedziI wanted to kick myself for doing the same stupid thing,

5 OdpowiedziBungie!!!! You will pay for those who don't pay attention! Damn you for giving players a way to gather legacy weapons who haven't had a chance!! AHHHHHH!
-
5 OdpowiedziPositives? 1. You've got a bunch of shards now! 2. Strange coins seem to be falling like rain! 3. POE 28 still drops lots of coins, right?
-
2 OdpowiedziWhat can you gat from them? What is legacy engram supposed to mean?

My only problem is that most of my year one exotics that I own I can't get blueprints for

1 OdpowiedźBungie is not an MMO but it is also not a run-and-gun, what that means is you need information to progress. Did your progress on a purple helmet or cloak suddenly stop because you need worm husks instead of armor materials? Get the sword quest yet, do you have any idea what those materials are that you need? No you don't. You have to find a source of information and use it a couple of times a week. Bungie news is one but it is far from complete so you know you need to research things and always be looking for new information. The game has changed, so must we all.

5 OdpowiedziI was one on those no I didn't read just got excited ended up spending 300 coins between helmets and heavy ended up getting stung with 6 heavy dam waste
-
1 OdpowiedźI did the same thing spent around 150 because I didn't read the new news feed. But it NOT our fault 90% of the up dates are crap no one cares about. "Oh this Pearson got a 2 kill with a weapon lets do a who up date on it. Get the ᖴuck out of here." Good thing I had 800+ so I'm not stressing to hard

11 OdpowiedziIf you're not going to pay attention, then that is on you. If this literally made you feel sick, then perhaps you need to walk away for a bit. As you apparently have a problem. There is nothing cheap about this. You may not like it, but it is what it is. Plenty of people saw this and needed no explanation. As with anything, you need to focus on details. There really is no response needed on this, as it is a non issue. There is no solution that can fix you except yourself. So not sure what you're looking for from Bungie. Because they can't fix you either.

4 OdpowiedziWhere is xur btw?
-
10 OdpowiedziIt's in the game for enjoyment of players. It's there so collectors can gain their missing year 1 exotics and inherently buy their year 2's that were progressed. It's a shame you blew your wad, we've all made mistakes in this game (and many other games). There isn't a solution and I don't think there should be. Chin up, Guardian! You've got a story you laugh about with your fireteam in the weeks to come. At least you didn't buy armour over a Ghorn in week 2.... Or did you?
-
the issue here is you lack common scene enough to just to read the engram or buy one first to see if it's worth it. I'll be the first to say bungie has -blam!-ed up, but this is all your fault for not reading. I've been up at 5am too didn't read the update till now but I did not spend all my coins on just one thing.

3 OdpowiedziEdytowany przez użytkownika catrodsan: 9/18/2015 10:08:17 AMBecause this is a preventable mistake. You simply have to read. It's not even fine print. It's the title of the engram. Bungie had and still have their fare share of mistakes, this isn't one of them. And you're asking the company to compensate you for something you could have easily prevented just by reading one word. No sympathy.

9 OdpowiedziYear 2 changed destiny. You should have accepted that even xur will change. They changed xur so he wont always sell the same item multiple times a week. so now it can be for certain that each item will be different each week. Please understan it not bungie but you for not expecting changes on xur when clearly it was going to happen.
