Just wondering how other people have found the drop rate for exotic engrams from heroic public events? I'm not 100% on how many I have done but it is a fair few and I have not had a sniff of one yet.......

it's rng but not good rng.
Gut feeling without any science I'd say about 5%.
My issue seems to be I'm getting multiples. 3 Alpha Lupis, 3 Coldhearts (including pre-order bonus), 2 of those weird rocket launchers, another Riskrunner on top of the campaign one (which I really like)
Really want a merciless to see what the fuss is about

Hotfix incoming after maintenance concludes, hopefully fixes the prism notification problem and the issue that caused the momentum modifier from being removed from this weeks nf.

Have been lucky enough in that I have not had any duplicates. My problem is I'm just not getting enough of them!!

Destiny server maintenance extended by 1 hour until 8pm... to the surprise of no one.

At least Bungie are keeping one element of Destiny 1 storyline.

Fyi the removed gauntlets are the Hunter Road Complex AA1 due to having the symbol from the Kekistan flag on the upper arm.

Sometimes it feels like we're living in an Onion article

They've extended maintenance until 10 now.

Another 2 hours added to the maintenance. I would hope that they are now being more realistic and it will be back before 10 p.m. in this part of the world.

They can get away with this nonsense as when it eventually comes back we'll all just start playing and forget how unrealistically angry we were.

Fair play to Bungie for giving us time to watch the United match :pac:

murphyebass

I won't get to play tomorrow or Thursday, had to go change a tyre on my mams car last night after just turning on Destiny.

I was bloody well looking forward to playing tonight.

When is it best to start a new character. Will all the strikes and crucible be open to a new character once I finish the story. Do I have to play through the first few missions again on a new character?

You have to play through the whole main story line. There are 2-3 points where you have to level up to obtain the required level for the next story mission.
Then you have to unlock the crucible and the nightfall strikes.
I did a second character over the last 2 days. On reaching level 20 (just as I was starting the final mission), I used DIM to transfer in a load of guns. By the time I finished the final mission I had gone up over 100 power level.
Got up to 265 easily enough then.

Right feck this,starting my alt next time im on,was keeping my main so me and a mate could play through together but he has two kids,one a few months old,so cant get on regular so im twiddling my fingers waiting for him so ill probably have the alt through the campaign before my main!!

**** it that's a good idea. I have a mate that only gets online a couple of times a week. I think he's only up to like the third bit of the story at the moment.

Stardate: 7:37am. Just realised yesterday was reset.

Got a legendary and exotic engram out of one of them last night.

SolvableKnave

Got an Exotic Ship (Symmetry Flight) and a Mida Multi Tool Ornament (Titanium Alloy) from a Bright Engram last night. Very lucky drop from 1 Engram.
