    LOL even the major was guilty or farming the treasure cave.

      Can you blame him? Bungie created the flawed loot dropping system and people were forced to farm by shooting endlessly into a cave for hours on end.

        Be aware if you have any legendary engrams that need decoding that you are hoarding for the post Cryptarch patch they will turn blue.

        On Earth in the Skywatch part of the map. Just aim at a cave and shoot them as they spawned.

        it is gone. the second one is not as good. it sometimes doesn’t even drop ammo. i just started repeating strikes. i am only lvl 24 so i can’t do the raid properly yet. i don’t really care anymore either.

        You don’t need it to drop ammo, just use another of Destiny’s flawed systems against it’s self. Use all your ammo for your heavy and special weapon then when you’re low on your main rifle the system will restock all your ammo to full.

        The good news (kind of) is that they nerfed some of the other good farming areas because they thought the difficulty was to high.

        I’m just as guilty as everyone for doing a bit of farming from time to time but I just find it funny that even the head of xbox live took part when Bungei said ”it wasn’t how we intended people to play Destiny”. It didn’t bother me much tbh but when they stopped me getting ascendant chards from legendary Queen gear after 2 days but left cheap one hit kill weapons in the Crucible it just shows what they consider is how the game should be played.

    Any news on the beta update for October? Hopefully it involves playing music in the background.

      The most recent one that I got in the preview program didn’t have the feature.Just some new snap tools, Oneguide market expansion, DLNA and MKV support, and some new smartglass features.

      Try the xbox feedback page, I think it would be cool if my games transfer, but it is unlikely because the architecture of the systems is so different. Also, GTA4 and GoW3 are Games on Demand, not Arcade titles.

    MS team,
    Have you read about D4 really frustrating sales?
    The game is amazing and also a killer app for Kinect, so why don’t you advertise it more?

      The sales aren’t that great. What would help me buy it sooner than later is a limited time challenge with a reward.

      Yea it’s weird, Phil is all about video games but when it’s not about Forza, halo or sunset, we have no info on anything.
      I just hope Swery won’t have to close is studio because of that.(Never like his games but D4 seemed polished enough to sell decently)

    hello major?
    why are developers still having resolution problems after the 10% boost from the Kinect

    PES 2015 runs at 720p/60fps On Xbox One, 1080p/60fps on PS4
    this is unacceptable after a year with the software… really 720p please explain I would love to hear this AND I’M SURE every xbox fan deserves the explanation.

      Major Nelson generally does not respond to comments in the blogs. I doubt he will respond to a comment like that. Try asking MS support why your game doesn’t run in 1080p.

        Lol, but remember, games are starting to run at 1080p on Xbox One, look at Destiny for Example
        Destiny:
        Xbox One – 1080p, 30fps
        PS4 – 1080p, 30fps

        The problem isnt only with konami. Even shadow of mordor is going that way. I don’t care much for pes, but all this is bad for the consoles image.
        And if i have an open world racing at 1080p with 4msaa, its a shame that less demanding games are damaging the already damaged reputation of x1

        At the end of the day they put too much effort to the TV technology, and this meant they took a cheaper CPU/GPU and DDR memory route to keep the price down. Sony just made sure that the machine was for gaming hence the DDR5 RAM and better GPU/CPU’s choosen.

        i know the machine is capable.
        Forza 1080@60. Tomb raider 1080@40+. Forza horizon 1080@30. Destiny 1080@30. Wolfenstein 1080 (i think 60). Ea sports 1080@30.. but konami is sailing in a whole different direction.
        I just cant stand the excuses, even if i take for granted that its weaker..we’re talking for Pes FFS.

      You should be asking Konami that, Ms didnt make the game. Ea have managed 1080p 60fps woth both of their fifa titles. The problem lies with Konami not the Xbox one.
