Is it really MW/legendaries that got replaced or just epics and rares? I can't recall how many purples and blues I get on GM2. If it's the latter, I'm ok with that at least.Reddit reporting exactly what i feared.
Stronghold chests now drop embers which means your legendary and MWs get replaced by embers. good job Bioware.
P.S this is exactly what happened in Destiny 1 raids when they added shards to the loot table. i called it.
bosses used to drop guaranteed masterworks. 1 on GM1, 2 on GM2. Now people are reporting that they only get MW embers and epics. There is obviously still a chance at legendaries in chest and now bosses have a chance too, but we know how small those chances are.Is it really MW/legendaries that got replaced or just epics and rares?

I do see mention of fixes for things that cause crashes. I am optimistic.
I saw nothing about the audio drop bug, so I am concerned about that. We'll see.

Oh, there's a new teammate pickup mechanic?I'm noticing more drops overall.

The new mechanic of teammates picking up your loot is questionable. Any blues or purples I would like to avoid automatically get picked up by teammates even though they don't know they're doing it.
You're making assumptions here. Adding embers to the loot pool does not mean reduced chance of a legendary. It just means when it's not a legendary there's a chance it's an ember. Indeed, they probably made this change because people were bitching about getting blues and epics they had to salvage - now it just auto-salvages.bosses used to drop guaranteed masterworks. 1 on GM1, 2 on GM2.

With them adding embers to the mix, the loot pool just got larger which means it's even rarer for legendaries to drop now.
I cant believe how Bioware keeps making these rookie mistakes over and over again. strongholds were pretty much broken since the last loot change which made everyone quit before the bosses. I patiently waited a week and a half for them to fix this and they just made it worse.
Seems so, but I am guessing that is a bug because it doesn't make much sense to do it that way.
:-(Im going to apologize right now for being negative yet again.
But dont be, I just had two that sent me back to PS4 menu in the last 2 hours of play. Thats not including the times I've been booted to loading screens. At least it loaded me back in the game this time to where you start. I dont know why I punish myself.
Does this mean they actually get your loot, or just that it goes to your inventory when they run over it? I mean either sucks (I'm at the point where I avoid picking up blues/purples where possible) but shared loot is the reason I couldn't play Borderlands online.Seems so, but I am guessing that is a bug because it doesn't make much sense to do it that way.
I'm like 100% sure he meant the later. That teammates will unknowingly cause your item drops to be sent to your inventory even if you weren't at the chest when it was opened.Does this mean they actually get your loot, or just that it goes to your inventory when they run over it?

It just goes into your inventory. I am thinking bug, because everything is instanced for a reason, why break the instancing to allow people to pick up stuff they cant even see.Does this mean they actually get your loot, or just that it goes to your inventory when they run over it?

Oh this is good news. Thanks for this.quickly tested patch.
2080ti/2700x
Before I was running with 90% resolution scale in config file @ 4k
Tried out DLSS and it's a pretty good implementation. Looks better with 4k DLSS then the 90% scale and runs way smoother before I was mostly locked at 60 with drops and now in the bit I tested it seemed pretty much a locked 60 without drops.

lol
This fucking game.
So what's the word on loot? They still investigating the lack of MW drops for bosses and the teammate loot drops? I'd rather not hop in and waste my time if this patch is a bust, loot-wise. Reddit is flipping its shit but I don't know how much of that is real outrage vs not understanding the changes.
Wait what, the Stronghold bosses don't drop guaranteed MW anymore ? It's all RNG now ?
1.0.4 is the latest after the 1.0.3 update.In the main menu the version at the bottom left is 1.0.4. Is that something else or should it be 1.0.6 after the patch it just installed.
Well, bosses had legendaries added to their loot tables so there's that...but if they're not rewarding MW, then who knows if that's working, either.LOL
So no more guaranteed masterworks, and if you don't have a key, killing the boss is pointless lol. Nice
I am amazed that they continue swinging and missing like this.
It's like they mean well but just can't help but fuck things up.
It's like watching Charlie Brown try to kick footballs.
Agreed. It seems like some interesting MW items to add elements to guns etc. More stuff like that is great in Anthem but I do hope they add more strange ones.
Not sure. I thought the latest one was 1.0.4.Oh ok, how's that different than the 1.06 we just got? They different things?
I paused very early on because I was afraid I'd miss cut-scenes and story line stuff due to bugs. I've been waiting on verified reports that those bugs have been addressed so that I can feel comfortable that I can enjoy the remainder of the story. All I really want for now is to just know I can get through the story without having audio muted on cut scenes...or the game crashing at critical plot moments...or that I won't ever get matched into a mission ahead of where I am in the plot...or that the game is now *very* unlikely to lock my system up or otherwise become crash-happy wasting my time and XP gains that will no longer be awarded. A month later, I am *still* waiting to hear someone tell me that I'm good to go. I continue to wait.This is the best way I have heard it described so far. I want to see success I believe in you Charlie Brown! We all know how this will go down and it really sucks for the fans.
Are you still playing?

The game is much more stable generally. It's not nearly as bad as it was, and this was true before the patch. Too early to say for sure if this patch has improved things again but I've had zero issues in the 5 hours I've played tonight. It's been weeks since I had the all sound cut out bug or a CTD. Was still occasionally been kicked back to Tarsis from loading screen into a mission prior to this patch but not particularly often, and hasn't happened once so far after.I paused very early on because I was afraid I'd miss cut-scenes and story line stuff due to bugs.

Fortunately I've had a lot of other stuff to play with Destiny 2 getting very interesting, Dota 2 getting a new hero, and so on...but I'm here almost daily hoping to see a post or update containing good news for stability. I leave every day a little more disappointed than the last.
Check your dailies tab to see what the daily quest for a key is. Mine was two contracts.Just did a stronghold on GM1, got zero masterworks and the 3 chests opened at the end gave only materials. (this was after doing my legendary mission and apparently not getting a key)
Awesome.
Legendary missions aren't giving keys. Contracts give keys today.Just did a stronghold on GM1, got zero masterworks and the 3 chests opened at the end gave only materials. (this was after doing my legendary mission and apparently not getting a key)

My last update today in notifications is version 1.06. But the main menu says 1.0.4. Maybe it's something else then.
