Looks like we'll have to rename the thread again.

Summary:
With this patch, we address some widely-discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed. Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible.
Cryptarch
- Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher
Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as before
- Rare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher
- Chance for Legendary gear increased
Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)
Rewards
Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for:
* Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist
* Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day)
* Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)
Known issues
- When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward display. You will still get the XP bonus, you just won't see it in the UI
Crucible
- Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes,bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists
- Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

I guess they didn't have enough people doing the raids. As someone who only got my queen chest and helmet, I support this.

I haven't done a raid because i'm only a level 21 and the whole grinding the same missions over and over and over again is just so completely unappealing to me. what they should do is increase the amount of drops that happen in Crucible.

The grind to get to the raid became too much for me.

Exactly.. It is called Legendary for a reason. They really should rename it rare and the blues common.

All I really wanted was for them to increase the probability of obtaining legendary's items out of legendary engrams... not guarantee legendary from legendary... that takes all of the mystery and fun out of it.
Although it sucked hardly ever getting anything legendary out of legendary's engrams, it was kind of fun with the mystery of "It could be anything!" like that of knowing there's a car, a paid vacation in front of you but what's behind the door?
It also reminded me of when I was a kid and I would always ride my bike up to the old Broadmoor flea market on Saturdays and go to the sport card booth and the guy always had the "mystery bags" of miscellaneous football/basketball/baseball cards where one of the bags had a guaranteed Michael Jordan card or whomever in it. Although you knew the chances were slim, it was still fun because it could've been anything.

Honestly, if they want to patch engrams. they should patch how a a lv 2 enemy can drop a lv 20 item. It is just silly.

Well they also shouldn't have strikes and raids only able to be done by level 27's and 28's. There are people who have lives and don't want to sit there for 5-6 hours doing the exact same thing over and over and over in hopes of getting a purple drop that MAY be a rare or common item instead of a SHOULD BE legendary drop. If I could do a raid at 21, I would absolutely do it. However, there will never be anyone who accepts a level 21 into a raid where the bosses are 27-28.

Like I've posted before, it was already easy. I'm level 29. One piece of my armor was a random drop, the others I bought either from reputation or Xur. There's nothing hard about farming rep or strange coins / motes of light. A lot of people were already running around in legendary / exotic gear.

After 4 legendary engrams I finally got a legendary fusion rifle yesterday.
Was pretty pumped but now I see why.

FIFY..
Seriously though, I couldn't agree more about the legendaries, Purple means HARD TO GET. Not "WAA WAA I need more purple give me a gubmment handout."
That being said, they need to fix the stupid light level crap, I mean the concept is refreshing but depending on legendary armor to level up enough to get to end game content is crap i.e. RAIDS, Weekly missions, etc.
If they inisit on keeping the "light level" then fine, but at least start with tiered purples, something to set one lvl 27-28 Titan apart from another one.
I can see them changing it up so that there is more than one stat class per purple, in other words some purples are better than others, like way better. Those you have to grind out and get.

This is how MMORPGs work. And that is what keeps people playing for a long time. A goal to get somewhere. If they remove that... what is the point. So everyone can be the same?
I wish they would have a lower lv raid too but I see why they didn't do that. Because of the light mechanic on gear.
But really if to get to lv 24 all you have to do is lv up blue gear. And blue gear is very easy to get.
