Okay guys there is some good news coming out of the latest patch on Destiny. Here is the full rundown.
Summary:
With this patch, we address some widely-discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed. Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible.
Cryptarch
Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher
Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as before
Rare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher
Chance for Legendary gear increased
Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)
Rewards
Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for:
Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist
Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day)
Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)
Known issues
When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward display
You will still get the XP bonus, you just won't see it in the UI
Crucible
Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes, bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists
Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

Edited by X 5I5O: 10/3/2014 4:33:04 PMDAMN THIS PATCH! My purples are turning into blues! Crappy ones too! It was working pretty well before the patch. Even the post office rewards that are purple legendarys turn into blues now. I have not seen one purple drop post patch. A few scarce blues and butt loads of really low green garbage. BUNGIE!!!!

Not trying to be rude, but I'm confused as to why you would post this. Its literally on the same website/app. Just a few clicks away.
