The only patch they should be focused on releasing is re-optimizing the game from 30fps to 60fps.
There is absolutely no excuse to be releasing 30fps games on the new consoles.

I wondered why I had a Fallen Walker to kill today. Love doing the public matches, save for that near invincible Captain fleeing to a target on Earth. Easy Vanguard Marks!

www.bungie.net/7_Hot-Fix---09252014/en/News/News?aid=12190R.I.P. Loot Cave. Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items. If you have any of those and haven't gotten the update yet, you might want to break them down for ascendant materials ASAP.

Bollocks. I've been travelling for work since Monday. I haven't done any queens bounties. Just finally on the way home and they trash the two ways I had a chance of catching up with friends.

Goodbye loot cave, and good riddance. You will not be missed.
Unfortunately, this pretty much defeats the purpose of doing the Queen's Wrath stuff if you already have a set of legendary armor unless you just want something that looks different. It's going to be even more frustrating if helmets and chest pieces are still the only armor rewards. Already got (and thankfully broke down) 2 extra of each of those. Too bad I still have 5 kill orders right now that are probably going to be a waste of time without being able to get shards from those excess helmets and chest pieces. I need gauntlets and boots dammit! Maybe I'll get lucky and at least get the sniper rifle and/or ship.

So the Queen's Wrath is now pointless to me until I get my Warlock up to level 20, by which time it might be gone then.

Dev notes have a lot of interesting stuff as well: www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Dev-Notes/en/News/News?aid=12188Planned future changes: Making engrams give gear of the same color. Allowing people to opt-in to voice chat in Crucible and Strikes. Buffing some exotics (Thorn and Bad Juju in particular). Nerfing Auto Rifle stability/damage to make them less effective at long range. Buffing Scout Rifle damage. Nerfing Shotgun range. Making the rewards from activities more clear on the post game screen.

On the bright side, not getting shards anymore will actually give me an excuse to start playing my Titan and create a Warlock once I get daily and weekly activities finished. Otherwise I was going to be grinding Queen's Wrath as much as possible. No reason for that now unless more adjustments are made or ranking up your rep with the queen's emissary unlocks much better gear than she carries now for purchase.

I highly recommend everybody to get their 2nd and 3rd characters going (if you have the time of course), before you are getting too attached to your first one. For the impatient, you can always use Dumien's AFK trick to get to level 20 quickly.

Careful with the Vex cliff jumping and Hive mooning. They're also nerfing the engram drop rate after a team has wiped, so you're going to see diminishing returns the longer you keep farming those spots.

Nerfing shotgun range? Really? Yeah, I don't know how much shorter the range could get. Maybe they'll nerf spread when hipfired?

Nerfing shotgun range? Really? Isn't that everybody is complaining about shotty crouchers? Then if you give them more range then players do not have the excuse of corner tactical loitering with them. The only time I have died from this tactic was in BO2 with the M1216. Also, I think players should sometimes look at themselves on how they navigate maps and stop expecting full auto rifles to do everything. I assume the range will be the same in PvE and PvP though, so that will make it really cumbersome to create synergy with a class I had in mind, and sniper rifles are already decent. Guess I might have to clear out my inventory some time.

Yeah I haven't gotten to Venus yet. I'm way behind on story missions even though my warlock is level 20.

Both have limited time to play and are making pretty slow progress. I got my Warlock to level 20 by only playing story missions + bounties, because its much easier solo. I did complete all the missions during that path. I am doing Titan right now, this time I am focusing on Strike experience and paying closer attention to the story (not much to it, but at least now I know why the hell I am shooting through waves of enemies into a place )

Making the rewards from activities more clear on the post game screen. Also the communication improvement: From the background of playing CoD, this sounds natural to us. IMHO Bungie's original plan was too cautious in protecting the "casuals". I played a Strike through matchmaking yesterday and it is frustrating to not able to communicate with teammates. Bosses can be taken down much easier had we been able to communicate, and the last guardian standing should be warned to stay alive so we don't have our progress reset. Not able to do these, frustrated players quit and I had a total of around 7 different teammates before we finally completed it. At the end of the mission, neither of the 2 were with me at the beginning.

Bungie doesn't really have a good rep for making shotguns decent from when I have asked around. Just seems stupid that if I were to play the Crucible that I should jumpshot using a rifle going for a headshot in CQC. It feels full retard when I see people do that on Halo. I have no idea how much of an influence I have from Gears of War since I am used to swapping to a shotgun or an SMG in CQC but it makes sense and, given that melee is strong in this game, you can't afford to nerf shotguns' range otherwise they are as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Full text on Shotgun from Bungie:
While this means the range is nerfed, it may not necessarily mean an overall nerf. They may make it more effective within the "intended range", say buff CQC damage, but with much steeper drop off.
In Halo, Shotgun is considered a power weapon. Although not as versatile as Sniper Rifle and Rocket Launcher, it is quite devastating in CQC.

And what distance, exactly, were these shotguns effective in CQC? Pissing range?

Also, don't scrap the Thorn or the Bad Juju if you are disappointed with their performance.
They will be getting some love.
