Future 2
Future 2 has had a little bit of hassle trying to forestall blues from dropping after the smooth energy cap. It was purported to be a part of the hotfix final week that roughly broke all the recreation for a full day and required a rollback, however even when the patch returned, the blues repair was lacking.
Now, lastly, blues are useless. However Bungie has modified their preliminary plans in a method that’s type of fascinating. Right here’s what Future 2 posted yesterday:
So, the distinction right here is that for the following month till Lightfall, reasonably than blues turning into glimmer when dropping, blues will as an alternative be purples. My first thought after I heard this was “oh no, that is going to be simply as a lot litter,” on condition that 98% of world drop purples are simply as ineffective as blues.
Nonetheless, that is simply momentary, so that won’t be long run drawback. As a substitute, that is going to operate as a nice legendary shard farm for the following month, as purples give shards and blues didn’t. I consider the ratio earlier than this was one thing like three blue drops for each purple drop, however now these three blues will as an alternative be…purples, that means an entire lot of shards ought to be coming in whenever you’re working primarily any exercise.
You might be nonetheless going to have to look at your postmaster, as that’s simply as a lot further loot as earlier than heading there and filling up your stock, however at the least whenever you dismantle all of it now, you’re getting one thing on your hassle. Since Future 2 has made numerous financial system modifications together with legendary shards for gear focusing throughout lots of distributors, shard stockpiles have dwindled amongst gamers. Bungie has just lately diminished shard focusing value, however an excellent farm like that is excellent news for anybody.
As for me, I play a lot and focus so little I’ve by no means actually had an issue with shards, and I’m glad that is solely momentary as a result of I care extra about engram litter than shard farming at this level. However on the whole, I acknowledge that this can be a unbelievable farm for these brief on shards for the following 4 weeks right here, and you must completely benefit from it whereas it’s stay. I don’t suppose there’s a selected trick to farm purples, as they’re simply going to drop naturally as you run any exercise that can drop loot (ie. not Gambit or Crucible). So get on the market and seize these shards whilst you can.
