    Buff the droprate of Cipher Decoder

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:25 PM PDT

    As the title says, buff it. The droprate is too low right now. It's ( again !) an another problem with a new money for an event, come on Bungie, we already talk about the key for solstice and now that ? I like Festival Of The Lost, i hate Festival Of The Grind.

    Edit: Thanks for the rewards everyone ! Also, check Cozmo answer. :)

    After reset today you MUST start your Outbreak Perfected and Whisper of the Worm catalysts if you want to have them completed without doing the Outbreak Puzzle or Whisper Chests each week.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 04:32 AM PDT

    The catalysts take 5 weeks to complete by soley doing the Heroic version of the mission. It is however possible to complete them in 3 weeks by doing the following:

    • You will need to complete the Zero Hour configuration puzzle as well as the mission if youd like to do the Outbreak catalyst in 3 weeks.

    • You will need to open 5 hidden chests in the Whisper mission as well as completing the mission if youd like to do the Whisper catalyst in 3 weeks. (Note, you do NOT need to do the Oracle puzzle each week unless you want the exotic ship schematic).


    There is lots of places available to find people willing to carry others through this mission:

    • /r/destinysherpa has a weekly sticky post for these missions.

    • /r/fireteams is a place where you can team up with others.

    • If you are on PC, the LFG discord has a channel for exotic quest help - https://discord.gg/2MJED5X

    • Destiny has its own LFG system which you can access by downloading the Destiny companion app or visiting bungie.net.

    • There is also plenty of streamers who help others with this so thats also an option.

    At Tuesday reset every week i help people with this aswell for about 6-8 hours (im on PC), so youre free to DM me if you need assistance with the puzzles or just the run and ill give you my discord link, please note i may not have the time to help absolutely everyone, so id recommend checking out alternative options too.

    New beyond light trailer!

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 08:00 AM PDT

    You can farm Cipher Decoders from Heroic Story Missions.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 12:13 PM PDT

    Today: Unbroken, Ice and Shadow, and Deadly Trial is available in the playlist right now, some of the fastest story missions to run though.

    Managed to get 4 ciphers in 9 runs, these runs can take up to 3-4 minutes. Not too shabby.

    Proof of it dropping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcuDAKb2ywo

    As a bonus, you can also farm the lore associated with doing Heroic Story Missions.


    Edit: Update on my farm, I've gotten 8 cipher decoders in 32 runs. So the drop-rate is roughly 1/4, and I got lucky on my initial start. It's up for debate which activity is the most efficient, but I think we can all agree that the drop-rate for these deciphers are just terrible across the board.

    As of now, consider the post as another option to farm Cipher Decoders and not the best default way of farming.

    Edit2: According to Cozmo, the decoders are supposed to have a similar drop-rate to Umbral engrams. I really doubt that. I've done 50 Story missions and have only gotten 11 decoders in the span of 4 hours, I feel like I've gotten more engrams than decoders. Honestly, the drop-rate might be bugged. Who knows. His tweet here

    *Bungie, by chance you read this thread, please investigate whether these ciphers are dropping as much as they are intended to be.

    Edit3: "Nightmare Hunt: Pride" (Skolas) seems to be the absolute fastest way to farm Cipher Decoders (around 2 minutes), but keep expectations low as the drop rate is still the same. It is up this week and you should do a mix of Story Missions and Nightmare Hunts to preserve your sanity.

    Edit4: Possibly the final edit, Cozmo replied to another thread that they are investigating the drop rates. In my honest opinion, hold off on farming decoders and just wait for an update. Don't force yourself on this terrible grind.

    Final Edit: Patrols seems to be the absolute fastest way to get decoders, just farm Toland and Kill patrols on the Moon if you really want to do this grind. Drop rates are the same though.

    Final Interference Mission is Sick

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 12:32 PM PDT

    GG Bungie, incredible experience and a great way to close out the season (although we still have a month left).

    submitted by /u/georgster
    [link] [comments]

    I don't understand why Bungie decided on this many layers of RNG for this event?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 12:48 PM PDT

    So there are 5 chests per haunted forest run that each require a cipher to open to have the ability to get a braytech werewolf or a horror story which themselves as all destiny weapons have different possible perk rolls on them (which we don't even know the possible perks on these due to some api issue I assume or something of the sort, that's not really that big of an issue here. I get it shit happens).

    So to farm for the roll you want on these you want to get 5 ciphers then go run a haunted forest, that wouldn't be a problem except the fact that ciphers are RNG based whether or not you will actually get one from an activity. Oh yeah and guess what you can't get them from doing the haunted forest if you wanted to run that as a chill farm.

    From the Festival of the lost FAQ

    Alongside a completion rewards chest at the end of a Haunted Forest activity, players will also find five optional caches available to unlock. These caches can only be opened using Cipher Decoders, which can be acquired via random world drops and activity completions outside of the Haunted Forest.

    So let me break this down a bit more, let's assume that every one of the additional 5 caches you open you are at least garneted a werewolf or a horror story, so a 50% chance of either one (See edit 1),

    then let's assume that like the horror story the werewolf has 6 perks in the last two columns each (I know the actual number or possible rolls are not truly known, but let's just use 6 for the sake of the argument)

    To simply get the desired two final perks on either of the gun you have a 1/36 chance

    so from one cache you have a 50% chance of getting the gun you want, then you have a (for arguments sake) a 1/36 chance of getting the last two perks you want, which is a 1/76 chance you get the gun with the roll you want, then on top of that we have god knows chance of getting a cipher key.

    Fucking 3 independent layers of RNG, it wouldn't be that bad if we got a cipher like every run of X or at least every other run of X. This feels like something that was put in to force people to do things that we've already been doing just for the sake of "player engagement"

    That's also making some strong assumptions like assuming the caches will always drop one of the guns or that there are 6 perks in each of the last two columns, but dear lord if you actually want a specific perk in each column.

    Edit: From u/StormXTS You aren't actually guaranteed one of the event weapons from a cache so it's even worst than the assumptions above
    Edit 2: Thanks for the award kind stranger

    The last Interference mission was stellar

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:33 PM PDT

    Very well done to the developers who worked on it! Seeing the Nokris fight reimagined was a nice nostalgic touch, before Mars goes into the vault. And the level design was fantastic -- that huge fortress was one of the coolest things I've ever walked into, in Destiny.

    And to the narrative team for giving it, what would have been, a very smooth and clear connection to us going to Europa in Beyond Light. While Y3 might not have always been good, this was an excellent conclusion.

    Love you all, and see you in Y4 <3

    Dropped Candy goes to Postmaster!

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 11:03 AM PDT

    While running around doing quests, I was worried that I'd have to try and pick up all the Candy that drops from enemies, otherwise I'd lose them.

    But nope, they go straight to your postmaster. Came back to tower and found that I had 100 Candy to pick up. So don't worry about running around to pick up the little candy drops, as Kadi will help collect them for you :)

    Why Does This Game Feel Like it Doesn't Reward Investment

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 06:50 PM PDT

    I get that having a ton of loot at different times was negative for weapons feeling special, but the way you're currently re-releasing old gear is abysmal. The Halloween event weapons are already non meta, uninteresting perk combination reskins of year one weapons. Why would you hide them behind so many layers of rng is baffling

    Look, this game is random. In a borderline negative way. I'm teetering on uninstalling, because I'm not sure anyone designing it really gets that. I've farmed like 30 eye of sols. Gotten probably 8 with hip fire grip. And not a single roll of the god roll, snapshot opening shot. That'd be chill, if it hadn't have happened over the course of like 6 months, and I hadn't been actively trying almost every week to obtain it.

    The dedication this fanbase has to chasing your weapons is insane. But mere rng is not a great mechanic in the long run for satisfaction. If people put in the effort, I don't think it's crazy that they'd deserve the reward. And after hearing of people playing 5 hours today and not getting a single Decoder, I mean why are we even playing a game that doesn't respect our time?

    Aztecross has said it too many times, but this last year has felt resoundingly stingy. Anything that was good or worth pursuing has been incredibly painful to grind. People complain about the loot showering in season of dawn but was anything in that loot pool even remotely meta? Come on. Seems nothing worth getting has been easy to obtain.

    I just wanna feel like my investment is rewarded, and if you're wondering, this ain't it, chief.

    Interesting detail found within [REDACTED]

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 08:12 PM PDT

    The Fallen are the only race to cast a shadow intersecting with the Pyramid found at the end of this week's Interference finale. Considering what we know already regarding Beyond Light's showcased antagonist, I feel this is a prime opportunity for a pun about foreshadowing.

    Edit: https://imgur.com/gallery/lyTFCHU

    Edit Dos: It also just occurred to me that the statues for Humanity/ Guardians are on the exact opposite side of the pyramid from the Fallen. Its our light that is causing the eclipse of the Eliksni.

    Why won't people forgive Uldren?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 08:42 AM PDT

    When we talk about Uldren Sov most of his haters don't realize were talking about two different men. One gave his entire life for his people and for his sister. The Awoken loved him, he was a hero to them. He was then corrupted by Savathun through Riven, he was driven mad. He raised an army of Scorn and turned them against the people he had once loved. He killed an old friend and mentor, Cayde-6. It shook our guardians, we swore vengeance and hunted him across the tangled shore. When we finally found him, he was at out mercy his madness wiped away. Now I only felt sorry for him then, I didn't want him dead after everything he'd been through. Our own ghost couldn't tell us that killing him was just. Bungie left us a choice then, did we kill Uldren? I can say my guardian didn't without the barest trace of doubt, I could see his pain and I knew I couldn't pull the trigger.

    Now the secound man, the new Uldren Sov, remembers nothing of his past. He's been shot at and hated all his life, and he doesn't even know why. He can't even remove his helmet without fear. The Traveler saw fit for him to join our ranks so why shun him, he is one of us now. I personally will show no malice or ill intent towards my fellow "hunter"(I say hunter bc that's what I've assumed but we have no proof as of yet). I ask you to do the same, welcome him to the tower come Beyond Light. He is a prince of the Awoken, he survived the black garden without a ghost, he killed the Kell of Kings, he is a guardian of rare potential. I say we can use all the help we can get, so please forgive Uldren if you still harbor any ill will towards him. I will stand besides my new guardian brother, will you?

    If you haven’t started the Worldline Zero Catalyst you need to start this week to complete it

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 08:52 AM PDT

    The catalyst requires using the sword on each of the 5 escalation protocol level 7 bosses. Since there are only 5 weeks left you need to start this now before Mars gets vaulted.

    There are videos out on how to get the sword and you'll need some rng to obtain the catalyst but it is doable this week.

    I love that Ada-1 has decorations.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 04:46 PM PDT

    I don't remember if she had them last year or not. After running through the initial stuff, I didn't do a whole lot with Black Armory and haven't spent much time there. Recently I've been grinding frames for the Platinum Starling, so I've been seeing her a lot more, and she seems separate from the rest of the Tower in a way that is more than just her physical distance from the main hub. I know that she's sort of an outsider, lore-wise, but seeing the decorations in her area just feels nice. Like she's being included and connecting with people, coming out of her shell a little. It's a little touch, but it's nice.

    Haunted Forest Grind is a nightmare

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:14 PM PDT

    I don't know about y'all, but each year grinding the haunted forest was worse each time I had to jump in. It was fun at first, but now I absolutely cannot stand it. Likely won't be doing it this year. How are others feeling about it?

    Here's a top I learned from previous years: Apply every single heavy ammo finder you have.

    Why? Equip Thunderlord, Xenophage, (or since we have it this year Falling Guillotine) and you'll never run out of ammo and you'll easily blast through 9 levels each time. Use your best ad clearing supers and you're good to go.
