Your removal of ALL shards from dismantling the queen's rewards give me exactly 0 reason to do this event. What a gross overreaction to the situation.
Here is how you should have handled it:
1) remove the level 2 mission from the playlist. I agree, this was way too fast to get shards
2) nerf the shard count to 1 or 2.
Getting 2 shards for a 30 minute mission that is pretty tough is a fair reward for something that is temporary.

1 ReplyPretty much. No point for people who bought/already found their legendaries.

2 RepliesEdited by lNlewbie: 9/30/2014 11:06:43 AMIm building up craploads of kill orders in hopes that maybe they hotfix you can get one shard per mission. That would be great. You get rep for doing the bounties, and not the kill orders. Allow 1 shard per kill order and remove the level 2 archon mission so people can't cheese.

1 Replyive got 9 queens missions to do lol and they never going to get played!!! smh bungie...shit id do them for weapon parts at this point!!!

3 RepliesThere will be a-lot of hate after my reply. However I think the Queens bounty's are completely unfair to those that of us have played the game from day one for hours on end. Leveling up your faction, your crucible points, hundreds of strikes,. All at the mere chance of getting a good drop or being able to finally buy a piece of legendary armor/weapon. Now, all you have to do is is do a Queens bounty and do a simple mission and bam, your GUARANTEED a legendary item, before these missions, there were NO GUARANTEES at all. Which would all be fine and dandee, if I weren't a high level player and be able to dismantle these pieces into shards. Kind of a huge slap in the face to the higher level players, don't you think? This game has pretty much dictated every way for me to play it. I have absolutely no choices, it's bungies way or else. I actually bought 2 exotic pieces this weekend to dismantle for the shards, isn't that insane? Why not have Xur sell some shards instead of a frigging sparrow neon colored fumes. I have yet to see one player even with it. Keep in mind Bungie it was us that put you guys on the map, do not think for one second that we the people, can take you off the map just as quickly. Before you shut down loot caves, etc maybe the better loot patch should have been implemented at the same time. You obviously have the ability to move quickly when it's convenient such as removal of queens dismantling of shards, it took you a day to fix that? So what is taking so long with all the other issues that need to be fixed?

got 14 kill order tokens sporead across 2 characters. cba to complete them. too low a chance to get a weapon and the armor is literally useless without being able to shard it. not an efficient use of my valuable time.
-
3 Repliesobviously no one had legendary weapon finds at the end of queens wrath missions, heh.

Most of these missions the bosses were dead within a minute. The vex gatelord is dead in less than 2 clips from my sniper rifle.

This event was borderline useless. No story added was my main disappointment. I am appreciative of my one upgrade, I'll give it that. But after that I had no desire to grind out for hours to gain rep. The vendor had nothing good to offer.
-
Agreed. The only thing i have to gain from queens missions now is a legendary ship. Which i probably wont use cuz im diggin my rare highwater. I only play em now to help friends
-
Not that I was spamming these missions for shards anyway, but they're an awful lot of effort for almost no reward now. Harder than the daily mission and far less incentive to do them.
-
I'd be happy if they gave us 5 of any random planet material or something. But yeah, some glimmer and armor materials are useless. But yeah there is zero incentive to play them after a couple times, even if you didn't have legendary armor prior. It makes me sad because I want to do them, but it's a waste of my valuable time since I get very little for them.
-
Somewhat related, is QsW supposed to give different armor when you complete each kill? I've gotten the same damn chest piece the 3 times I bothered to do it and I already have the exotic one so they're useless.
-
I agree. I have no reason to do them. They offer me nothing.

14 RepliesInstead of making it more difficult to acquire legendary gear and upgrade it, maybe bungie should be more concerned with adding a larger number of different legendary gear. I have enjoyed this game thoroughly but I am beginning to get frustrated. This game is 100% about gear yet the low number of individual high level pieces makes the endgame content less interesting. It feels as though bungie wasn't prepared for the level of interest and the amount of time people have had in this game in such a short period of time. I am disappointed to see every character isn't lvl in my class wearing the same armor pieces, Makes me doubt how 'legend' my characters going to feel by lvl 30.
-
It's these extremely dumb decisions that make me wonder if Bungie actually know what they're doing with this game.

1 ReplyWhat I'm confused about is how Bungie couldn't have foreseen high level players grinding the missions for shards. I mean come on, 5000 exp + guaranteed ascendent shards for completing the second cosmodrome mission? Not only that, but I've seen that bounty at least 2-3 times. Way too exploitable for endgame players. As soon as my group of friends realized the system, we immediately went to that perspective of "Omg we can grind for shards!! Woohoo!"

1 ReplyI need two people at least level 27 with a mic to help me kill xyor the unwed! Sry I'm posting this here, but this is a popular forum post and I can't seem to get any help anywhere else. PS4 ID is matrimax. Thanks guys! :D
-
You my sir are right Bungie flopped, i have no interest in this game now
-
Become legend? More like farm legends... ._.
-
Yup. Now all the queen's missions just give you trash legendaries that have no use. It's a complete waste of time.
-
9 RepliesLmfao he just told Bungie how to make a game! Hahahahahaha. You should be a developer bro. I would love to see your game. Hell, I would even pay to see your beta.

I agree I don't see the point to doing the event anymore. Anything I get will be worse or the same then I already have.

1 ReplyI agree with the OP. This was a knee-jerk solution in search of a problem. So a bunch of already high level players get a few dozen Ascendant materials. Who cares? Who does this hurt? How does this ruin PvP? How does this make raiding less fun? There was no clear problem with people running the Queen's missions until Bungie nerfed the rewards. Now there's no reason to run them at all...which begs the question: why bother with the event at all? I've got no reason to buy rares--at any price--and the purple trash the Queen's missions give are worse than those I've either bought or found elsewhere. The only possible people I could see benefitting from this are people who just now crested 20 and are in desperate need of "Legendary" gear. (And that's got to be what, 5% of the population?)

As I just posted in a much longer post on the feedback forum: Shooting at a cave for hour on end is farming, working hard on a mission that you've encouraged us to play is not. Please recognize the difference and give us our shard-ability back, otherwise there's no reason for advanced level players to participate in this event, and there's no reliable way to progress further in your character's development so the game becomes a whole lot less fun until the expansions come out (and then it goes back to being less fun once you've played through those).
