Sounds familiar. First time beating Oryx, I only got 2 shards for the 20 I spent... Now I constantly get stuff with 300 light (scout rifle, fusion rifle, LMG, boots so far). Did my first run on hard mode 2 days ago. Took us 8h to proceed to the witches and I got 303 normal boots, a 305 normal shotgun and a (bless RNG) 310 hard mode rocket launcher. Wow. I guess striking 8h for exotic engrams would have been more rewarding. I'm actually wondering, if I'm willing to continue the ordeal and attempt to finish hard mode or if I will try it at all next week. Lots of my friends got nothing from the witches or Oryx, so my enthusiasm is very low. Guess I will do war priest and Golgoroth and forget about the rest. It's a waste of time IMO.
