Are they the same six? There are ~26 Grimoire cards for House of Wolves bounties. Maybe they rotate?

I ran home at lunch and loaded it up to make sure everything was working. I only had time to do engrams on my hunter. I got that same shotgun and a Vanguard auto rifle that looks very similar to Shadow Price. Most of my engrams are on my other characters so I'll turn them in tonight

I wouldn't worry about it too much. All I got out of the first one was some spirit bloom. LOL

On the bright side one of the legendary engrams I saved up turned into a HoW Dead Orbit shotgun, which I reforged (my first time doing that) into a pretty kickass thing to fill the void shotgun role my Titan has been needing (he's still been rocking an old 300 Comedian until now).

I'm missing it on one of mine. I got up early this morning to turn in the last bounty, but didn't get a reward. :(

Ha, cause I need more Engrams

On a serious note: Petra still has the 6 Wanted Bounties. Maybe you'll get another chance this week?

Man, I hope it's just something that got messed up with the weekly reset. I finished all of the kill bounties with two of my characters, but only picked it up for one of them.

Well, I feel validated. Last night I made sure to finish the kill bounties and pick it up on all 3 characters. At the time, I thought it probably wasn't time-limited and I was just being paranoid, but better safe than sorry, etc.

I would guess you're right - most likely extra rep. A little something for those who participated in the lead-up, but nothing that's ultimately going to give them an edge others can't attain. At most, I'd expect a reward package style thing - random assortment of engrams or something.

Weird. Must not be a quest line or anything. Could it be a special drop? Or extra rep or something?

FYI there is new "Queen's Favor" bounty from Petra (reply)

I think she'll be recalled to the Reef and replaced with someone else...

There's got to be something in the regular tower redirecting people to the reef. So this makes sense. Whether it's petra long-term though is the question. Redirecting you to... herself? =)

I'm guessing not based on the bounties having level 30 enemies and the story missions starting sub-30.

Yeah. This could be the start of a side quest, though. Something along the lines of the Urn of Sacrifice.

Monochron — Tue, 19 May 2015 01:33:07 +0000

If you complete all the Queen's bounties you get another called "Queen's Favor" which instructs you to go to the Reef. I'm wondering if you will need to complete all the bounties in order to get access to the Reef story missions. I'm guessing not based on the bounties having level 30 enemies and the story missions starting sub-30.

The 3 mote bounty is more important if this goes live (reply)

You mean like a system they tried out and scrapped? (reply)

Funkmon — Tue, 19 May 2015 00:15:17 +0000

The change reeks of "old" destiny, where destiny's loot systems were much more punishing. I think this was a system they were trying out before launching, and scrapped because it's incredibly tedious.

Calling it now: this is a totally unintentional change. (reply)

stabbim — Tue, 19 May 2015 00:03:35 +0000

Yeah, it's not like they just fall from the sky constantly for no reason, leading to comically large piles of unused motes! Wait...

I'm not saying I like the idea. But I see it holding us back about as much as commendations did - i.e. not at all. Thought I suppose in a way, that in itself is an argument for not bothering with this system.

*shrug*

Ok. So given that response, I'd say this is possibly something that was being tested but decided against, or at the very least something that isn't supposed to have been released yet.

TBH I'm not sure if I care that much. I acquire motes much faster than the rate at which I fail nightfalls, so I don't see this making much practical difference. Most weeks I don't fail one at all. Not saying I'm amazingly skilled, it's just that most of the time I'm running with groups who don't all die at once.

Exhibit A: Bungie hasn't mentioned anything about this anywhere, but that it wasn't in the patch notes is especially damning.

Exhibit B: Nightfalls have functioned the same way for 9 months. Why change it now?

Exhibit C: The change reeks of "old" destiny, where destiny's loot systems were much more punishing. I think this was a system they were trying out before launching, and scrapped because it's incredibly tedious.

Someone had to program this. The code doesn't spontaneously appear. That means someone thought it was a good idea to add. It's not. Not at all.
