Bungie,
First off let me say thank you for the new content. I'm a daily player, and new activities are always welcome. The most recent addition to the daily activities was Queen's Wrath. I loved hunting the wolves and claiming their treasure. This was all for nothing, however, as I will receive no reward, faction XP aside, for completing all 6 bounties across my 3 characters.
This is thanks to a poorly implemented bounty system that requires you to (apparently) log in on Monday to accept a 7th bounty that invites you to the Reef to claim your bigger reward.
I'm confused. Why would you expect players to read the developer's minds and log in to visit a vendor who's bounties you already completed?
I'm upset. I spent almost two days hunting the wolves across my 3 characters. Why wouldn't you just have Petra give us the 7th bounty in return for completing and submitting the 6th? This blows my mind and leaves me feeling a bit numb.
I'm not satisfied with the outcome. You really should do what is right, Bungie. Admit this was a mistake, a misstep, and a learning point for your team. You simply cannot expect your player base to log in and check every vendor, every day, just in case you failed to mention how the bounty system will work.
For those reading, if you did Queen's Wrath before and this was how it worked, that is fine. For those of us who did not partake the first time around, how were we to know we had to log in Monday to accept a 7th bounty when all other bounties were:
1. visible from the start
2. did not reset once during the week
3. disappeared from the list upon completion
What other event in the game has any sort of Monday reset or late addition? The answer is [u]none[/u].
Bungie, make this right. You have been working hard to improve our game, but every now and again we all make mistakes. Please admit this one so that we know there will be a change moving forward. This is essentially like not giving athletes their trophy unless they show up the day before the awards ceremony. As ridiculous as that sounds, it is fitting.
Thanks for your time,
A concerned guardian.
Edits: I'm also seeing posts saying the 7th bounty was not available all day Monday, meaning there was even less time to see and accept the 7th bounty. This is a horrible disservice to the players.
I'm also being told there was no flashing green icon above her head, which we would have noticed and gone over to her. I personally played 4-5 hours on Monday and would have gone over to clear the icon.

Seeing as no one has responded anywhere I am beginning to think we are all SOL, I did the bounties and the green icon never appeared however the emblem was given after turning a WANTED bounty from Venus. Fast forward to today, I lost a bunch of blue engrams, a payment vi pulse rifle and heart of the praxic fire chest piece after an error/lag out during prison of elders. I honestly aren't as bothered for losing said items, but the thing I am most concerned and upset about is all my new emblems from the House of Wolves including wolfhunter were gone the next time I signed in. I would really appreciate if someone got back to me about this. If they can't be replaced, I would hope they could be bought. These were my favorite emblems especially Firm Decree and Wolfhunter. Is there a way I can reaquire them, via Grimoire Cards or codes ? Really sucks to have lost them, but what makes it worse is when people meet the parameters and through no fault of their own they get screwed.
-
its not bungies fault you people suck at the game honestly if you dont have it then you dont deserve it because if ur not smart enough to go to the green marker then you dont deserve this swag emblem you need a emblem thats says "RETARD" beside your names
-
I logged on a found out what that Queen's Favor thing was all about: I got an emblem... I got four or five emblems completing the missions. Sooooooooooooooo many emblems. You literally didn't miss anything l. And, you might still get it.
-
It was only an emblem. Inspect my warlock and you'll see it.

Edited by Sylvestris: 5/20/2015 10:35:26 AMThe green icon would have been the way to go for it to keep it consistent with other notifications. I went because I was curious about the days 1 - 6 but not 7 thing. But the reward was pretty crappy. Emblem was nice, but the game is suddenly dumping all sorts of extra planetary materials on me and I already broke 800 of each weeks ago. We're now at a point where there are more ways to gain materials than to spend them. And of course they only stack to 200. *edited out the part where I was an idiot
-
Myself and a friend have gotten Bungied over by this terrible game flaw. There was no indication on Monday or Tuesday before the DLC launched that there was another bounty. I even went to see her and there was no other bounty for me to pick up. I don't know what to even say anymore about Bungie anymore because it's already been said but yet they just go on like they don't care.
-
I'm utterly gutted too, I haven't gotten the Wolfhunter emblem and i've done it on all 3 of my characters.
-
Edited by Ex Stars: 5/20/2015 1:32:49 PMThis happened to me. I picked up the 7th on my Hunter but not on my Titan or Warlock. I then went to Petra in the reef on Tuesday and I was able to turn in this 7th bounty on my Titan and Warlock even though I never grabbed it these respective charctures. You can also get treasure keys from these packages.
-
I agree with all of this. A very unfortunate implementation. Sadly, I do not expect they will do anything about it given the current silence.
-
Wtf...7th bounty??
-
Yeah.....I missed out too...had no idea there was something extra after the main hunting bounties :-(
-
The rewards were random. My Bro got a treasure key and I got Helium Filaments...
-
I completed all 6 bounties on all 3 characters , logged in every day including day 7 and never even saw the "Queens favour" bounty.
-
Want to know something? Bungie immediately responded to somebody complaining that they didn't get a chest after killing a boss for one of Petra's Bounties because they accidentally fell and died. Where's their response to this legitimate issue?
-
i did all the bounties including the 7th and never got it :/
-
I saw a post about it on the forums, but I think you are correct that there was no green icon saying to go to the Queen's Wrath bounty vendor, Petra Venj, to get the 7th bounty. After doing all the bounties and story missions today, I've forgotten what the reward was for the 7th bounty. Was it the sidearm and an emblem?
-
Was at work all Monday.. Completely missed out. =[
-
I did all the bounties and I never got a notification from petra saying she had something for me.
-
Yes. Please award us the reward. We did the Bounties I don't understand why I didn't receive my reward :( This is so disappointing. I was looking for a cool red Emblem, and this one looks sick.
-
Here here. I did all the bounties but this supposed seventh one that came on Monday. Why wasn't I playing Monday? I was horrifically sick. I debated jumping on to see if there was a bounty to complete, but I had decided to myself that I completed all of them, because there was never any seventh bounty before hand. And in all honesty I had very little will to play in the condition I was in. What do I find out though when I'm feeling better today? There was a hidden seventh bounty that I could only have completed yesterday. Sure it's just for an emblem, but that is absolutely ridiculous. Step up your game, bungie. Don't pull that kind of shit.
-
Yeah the wife and I were both sure we had it done on all of our characters. Very disappointing.
-
Same issue for me. I was on all last night too and checked with Petra to see if there was anything new. No sign of any "Favor".
-
I completed all 6 bounties and went back multiple times to her and never got anything. Please fix this.
-
What [b]reward[/b] can be obtained by this 7th bounty, or progression that is obtainable?
-
Edited by Fryker81: 5/19/2015 9:01:37 PMI've done all 6 bounties on my 3 character and never got the "bountie"...actually this is pissin me off even if its only an emblem, i heard i would not be able to do a mission and get a pistol...totally screwed my 20$ experience, i mean i paid $20 like everyone else and did my bountie
-
Gamer's intuition. I couldn't help but check with Petra on Monday... it seemed like the right thing to do.
