I'll be out from 2pm - 3pm CST but will be available after that until about 6:30pm or so when the wife gets home. Need to work on faction tonight since last night we raided.

I'm going to today. I wish I could "vote with my wallet", but I already bought the piece of shit.

I'll buy Destiny when they release a 'Complete Edition' next year. Maybe then, after they've added the content they fucking gutted from the game to sell as DLC, and made loot not mega-shit, it will be a decent game to play.

I'd suspect it shouldve been today too. But have a feeling it'll be on Thursday. Believe it was like that last week?

No point stocking them the changes only are going to happen for engrams that drop after the patch unfortunately.

Is anyone at Bungie doing a cost-benefit analysis on things like the faction vendors? I am thinking specifically of the Queen faction vendor seeing as the weapons she sells, while somewhat attractive at level 20, are almost guaranteed to be useless. The sheer quantity of content you have to do in order to reach that rep value means that unless the RNG gods have been extremely cruel to you and unless you have only done Queen stuff and nothing else that entire time you will have much nicer items by the time you can get these.
I could maybe see the attraction if these were for appearance slot... but there is no appearance slot.

This is from the patch notes
The 1.0.2 patch will go live next week, and includes several changes to the Cryptarch and Engram experience. These changes guarantee that Engrams will always decode into items at or above the quality of an engram.
Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change.
So if that holds true I am not sure if there is any point in holding any engrams for the patch only that once the patch hits future engrams should produce more sensible stuff.

That being said if you are sitting on enough blues to move him up in level so he sends you a package in the mail they would be worth keeping around.

That's the main reason I'm waiting. I'm also not in a rush. It's not like I actually need any of the blues or the vault space.

The main reason to stockpile blues is that it's an awful big assumption (imo) to expect rank-up mails from before the patch to produce post-patch legendary engrams. Maybe I'll be wrong, but I'm still going to do my ranking up post-patch and get new mails that I am sure will follow the new rules. My inventory isn't 100% full yet, so there's absolutely no reason to take the risk.
I also think people are going to be disappointed in this patch when they find out that legendary engrams have become 3-4x as rare to make up for the guaranteed legendary item. If we're lucky they'll have some inkling about how shitty their loot system is and will only make the engrams twice as rare as they are now.
Honestly though, it barely matters. The raid loot ensures that 25-light armor is obsolete the moment you buy it. It's just a means to get to level 28 to get the real loot, which is on an entirely different (but equally gay for RNG) system. Same with primary weapons, because the elemental damage on them has the same effect as the 30 light cap on armor. Special weapons are all about getting lucky and finding an Ice Breaker, and heavy is just getting a legendary rocket launcher of each element.
