*** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

Dont know if Elder Ciphers complete but they did say the weapons will become chest drops in POE:

What’s leaving Destiny when you download the 2.0 update:

Vanguard & Crucible Marks: Activities where you previously earned Vanguard/Crucible marks will now grant Legendary Marks. On Tuesday, your current Vanguard/Crucible marks will converted into faction commendations. [Update: This change takes effect on 09/15]

The Elder Cipher will no longer drop upon completion of the Skolas Challenge Arena in the Prison of Elders. The Exotic items offered with the Elder Cipher will now have a chance to drop from the Prison of Elders Treasure Chest.

What’s going to be required to install the 2.0 update:

If you’re playing Destiny on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you’ll need around 18GB of hard drive space free. We recommend turning on any console features that will automatically download game updates, when available.
If you’re playing Destiny on PlayStation 3, you’ll need about 20GB of hard drive space free to download and then install the update. Once the update is fully installed, you will only need around 10GB free.
If you’re playing Destiny on Xbox 360, you’ll need around 10GB of hard drive space free.
You can read more about the Hard Drive Requirements for the Destiny 2.0 update here.

What’s the best way to send off Year One of Destiny:

The Moments of Triumph have been extended to September 14, 2015 at 11:59 PM PDT (6:59 AM UTC). You can check your progress by visiting the Moments of Triumph progress page as part of your Legend.
Remember that your Moments of Triumph are tied to your active character roster. With the new Quest system and 2.0 changes incoming, we understand the appeal to start a new character. However, deleting a character to do so may jeopardize your progress towards the Moments of Triumph. We recommend waiting until you’ve secured your Emblem before deleting any characters that contributed to your Moments of Triumph progress.

Ya dig?

Wait so elder ciphers wont drop from doing PoE35 and will be in the loot table for the PoE chest. You need a treasure key to open that chest but as the wolves aren't prowling how are you supposed to get a key? Grind PoE hoping for one to drop from the small chests? Going on how small the % is that an exotic will drop from that chest then that is a ridiculous amount of grinding.
 
Hmm, the treasure key drop rate is not too bad in the PoE side chests. I usually get one key every three or four games. I've not had a key from the wolves for ages - maybe one in 20 or more!

The first quest gives 1 key. And if its 3/4 runs for 1 key, and the % of an exotic is what 1.5%? thats like 300~ runs for a single item. I think I will do some PoE35 and get the shotgun, don't care for dreg promise tbh.

I was thinking more that you can't do the queens bounties if the wolves aren't prowling. You're right that the drop rate from the small chests isn't too bad but still too much effort.
 
I'm not sure the PoE exotic rate is that low, certainly not after the weekly refresh. I've normally got my two exotic items within 5 games on a Tuesday.
 
There's still a few bugs in this game like when you have Flame Shield as the warlock, you get a handy 15 second countdown timer. However, when you have Force Barrier as a Titan or even Blessing of Light there is no such timer. It would be very helpful to have such things consistent across all classes.

I've only ever gotten an exotic on my first run and since then I've done maybe 50-100 and nothing.

What is the Judgment's Chance thing that Variks offers for one armour core and one weapon core?

Its a random leg/exotic item.
 
To answer the question:
@BungieHelp: "If you currently have an incomplete Elder Cypher Bounty, it will auto-complete when Update 2.0 is deployed on 09/08/2015."
 
Well, I think the vast majority of people are looking forward to it. A few people continue to moan about it but will no doubt be buying and playing it as much as everyone else.
 
Hi guys.

Thinking of buying this since its on amazon for under £20. Am i being too late to the party on getting this just before the new expansion comes out?

Thanks
