So, I know Bungie just came out with a big patch, which is awesome, because bad juju sucks a bit less now (it's still a pretty bad gun...), but did they patch the public events too? I know that stuff is random, but last night instead of getting ascendant material in the post master, I got 1 mote of light for each character, and it was only the first time I did. The third, out of many (upwards of ten, probably about 12 to 15) I got one ascendant shard, but after that I hadn't received anything. If I were to combine this with my streak last night, which was no less than 12 as well, I have only received 4 pieces of ascendant material.
Is anyone else having this issue? Doing a lot of public events, but almost nothing in return for it? I mean, personally, that's at least 24 public events, with only 4 drops, and the first 3 drops were the first 3 public events I completed... I know it's all RNG, but seriously? I feel like the RNG needs to be upgraded. They've finally done so for leveling the cryptarc, but I highly doubt it's even noticeable (completely separate rant...)

Edited by bsandberg: 12/2/2014 5:13:19 PMYou are not the only one. I only got a mote of light as well and there was no package waiting for me at the tower. I'm assuming it was an intentional change. They probably want us to try to get Ascendant Material from the raid and Daily Heroics. Even though I do the Daily Heroics every day I can I'm sad that it is now not worth it to spend time farming from Public Events anymore. It will slow down my progression greatly. It's also hard to get enough people on a fireteam to even do the raid. None of my friends are leveled enough and we are on different schedules a lot.
