In the grim darkness of the future there is only Oakley.

I got Gold in a public event, first since update, and didn't get a Legendary Engram. Did I misread the update notes?

Edit: fucks sake I poo poo up my post on my SA App. Anyway, Zarinea and Fabian are both pretty great now.

I genuinely couldn't describe from memory any of the sights on any of the guns I use, that's how little I pay attention to them.

The only one that stands out is the sight with the lens cap poking straight up but I couldn't tell you what gun it's on.

Its still happening, I get cluster explosions randomly on the Dreadnaught. I shoot an acolytes head, 10,000 explosions happen and everything around it gets destroyed instantly. I enjoy this still active bug very, very much.

I believe the public event thing doesn't change until actual Rise of Iron launch

I would chalk up any weird behavior seen from events or rewards between now and the 20th to the game trying to hold back RoI features, really.

that hasn't been activated yet. I dunno if it's a bug or if it's waiting for RoI proper though.

same with the rift overshield on spawn. I played some yesterday and didn't notice it (even got spawn camped a bit too). Anyone know if the salvage changes are live?

Since like half the people playing say they can't see the grain, I assume Bungie turned the filter on by accident and no one there noticed. (There are going to be image filters you can buy from Eververse)

my eyes must be going too because sometimes I think I can see it, like if I quickly look away and look back but usually nothing and I'm wondering how people are finding it unplayable or getting headaches. So I want to know if I'm just blind or if I'm having an actual different experience.

I vote wait. Like, think of it this way- you open it now, maybe you get trespasser. A one out of however many exotic specials there are.

Or you wait until RoI and there's a bunch of new exotics, then you open and the odds of getting something new increases. Unless you really really want trespasser specifically and/or really want it a week and a half early.

I got my Trespasser first try. Then I got another special engram from a taken ultra while trying out my new toy, :whatup:

Other people report burning through several engrams before getting theirs, or not getting one at all.

It's a neat gun but you'll probably go back to whatever your preferred secondary was.

How bad do you want a cute toy that probably won't get much use after the novelty wears off?

Unless you jerk off to pictures of a suited up Peter Weller I can't imagine it's all that significant of a thing for you.

I would strongly recommend hanging on to all exotic engrams for the DLC to hit so you can use them to ratchet your light level higher.

Maybe use boot exotic engrams since those are rolling over 335 for some reason.

Seems kinda silly when you'll probably get purples and blues higher than 335 in a week and can use your exotics to boost past that

Ugh. The destruction of UR reminded me why I used it even though I don't even like the loving thing: the entire game being completely focused on special weapons means running out of special ammo feels like you might as well give up on the game.

I'm kind of sick of this game's PVP but I know there's never going to be enough PVE to just play that. It's kind of disheartening.
