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.
Cryptarch Changes 
Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly.
  • Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics
  • Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items
  • Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items
Activity Changes
  • Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards
Item Changes
  • Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade
  • Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already..

Cool! Now i actually just need to get a legendary engram, I cant believe i'm level 24 and still haven't got any.
 
In the past 4 days Ive had 2 legendarys give me exotic items, even had a rare give me a legendary item.
 
This is a start but the entire loot system is so f***ed you wonder if Bungie put any thought or research into it at all. I don't think they had any understand if it was going to be rewarding and sustainable. It also seems unlikely they will be able to correctly adjust all the games shortcomings without something like a comet release.

Bungie seems to be oblivious, or too stuck on themselves, to acknowledge what so many other games before Destiny did. Hell, could they not have worked out a couple of meetings with Activision's own Blizzard...they seem to have a pretty good track record when it comes to developing loot systems and RPG elements.

This us why I feel the "ten year plan" is s***. Instead of spending another couple of years really fleshing out a true MMO-FPS they sold everyone a polished alpha full of under developed ideas. I predict the game Destiny is in two years is the game we expected this time. We are essentially funding their early access alpha at $60 a pop.

Has any video game ever inspired so much hyperbole from people?
