Oh, and I was seriously annoyed when I couldn't find Skirmish today to finish my bounty. It seems to unlock the previous Crucible type you have to play a match of the weekly type on the left side of the screen.


the titan helmet from xur is insane

Only nine more Strange Coins to go... it ain't happening this weekend. :(
 
Heh, I'm out of town visiting my family but I managed to log on to my brother's Xbox and pick up the Titan helmet from Xur. Decided to do a few of the easy bounties as well and when I turned them in I got offered another exotic bounty. So hopefully this time next week I'll have both my Bad Juju and Pocket Infinity.

I hadn't been paying attention to my count of strange coins so when Xur showed up this weekend I took a look at his wares and found I had one strange coin... ONE.

Regarding Pocket Infinity, I have been waiting for a 10th Fusion Rifle to dismantle for what feels like a week now. Super frustrating.
 
Postmaster just gave me a Legendary Auto Rifle (Unwilling Soul-09) for hitting level 3 with Dead Orbit. Something I'll actually use, and does not overlap with the scout or pulse rifles I have leveled up. Fucking finally.
 
Bad Juju is actually pretty good in PVP, once this reload perk is active I could see it being great.

It still can't go up against an AR, but what can? heh

I heard the red death can, I wish it was that instead of bad juju. Hopefully we'll see some more weapons added to exotic bounties.


Also what's the quickest strike I can finish? Need to do 5 without dying.
 
I think I'm gonna get the Gjallarhorn from Xur. Can't afford the Engram, and not 100% sold on the Titan helmet; much prefer the Defender. Just need one more coin!
 
Yeah I know a lot of people who dig that stuff. I'm not one to really care about grinding or my gear - I'm mostly just waiting to see if the missions get better, I've found them pretty boring thus far. I've only done a couple of strikes though so maybe there's some better ones to come. The game itself is pretty good I just don't feel satisfied for some reason

It doesnt really change much. Once u get used to the various enemy patterns, the variation in gameplay comes soley in the form of the level layouts. Boss patterns, im afraid, dont offer anything different than what youve already played.

Probably Devil's Lair on normal. Doesn't need to be a Vanguard strike.
 
I've had 10 legendaries engram's. 7 decrypted into blues. 2 decrypted into legendaries for other classes. 1 decrypted into a legendary scout rifle.

/sigh I'm starting to get fed up.
 
They don't really have incentive to play, just exist. That's where my problem lies lol. There's no incentive to actually try at all unless you count some extra rep or 1 extra mark if you haven't capped yet. AFKing gives you just as good a chance as anyone else from what I've seen. Giving a higher chance of loot to higher ranking players while leaving the lower ranks untouched is the solution I'm fond of. Nerfing lower positions wouldn't do any good, but buffing the higher ones would.

If you can still get something for minimal to no effort though, would those people change? It should detect when someone is afk for more than a certain amount of time. Say a minute. A minute is a long ass time to be not moving at all in a MP shooter. If that happens, then you get nothing. When you're on patrol and don't move for a certain amount of time, you get booted back to orbit, so it's not like they can't track it.
 
Wow. I just did the Level 22 weekly strike of "The Summoning Pits" with a fireteam of one lvl 22 and another in 24 (me) and one lvl 26 and we were not even close to beating it. The boss-room is insane! we cleared out the trash-mobs as best we could whenever we had damaged the boss a bit of his health, but I think there were like 6 wizards where 4 of them were majors, all at once.

Im-fucking-possible! :/
I did it on Lv26 with another guy today, he was 26 i was 25. We were practically crouching behind the big rock on the far left end of the room. None of the mobs even knew we were there, only the boss. We sniped him until he was down. It was so awesome.
 
Some questions!

Which is the best faction to rep or is this entirely subjective?
Is there an xbone clan? I'd like to play some strikes but only a few of my friends have destiny and with a 7 month old baby I can only occasionally get on at some peculiar times.

Some serious jealousy looking at some of the gear in here :(

You should save for an exotic primary since you can only have one exotic weapon equipped, IMO.

The different PVP factions have gear with different stat focuses (INT, DIS, STR). If you know what stats you want to focus on, one faction might be better than the others.
 
Got my first legendary from a blue cryptarch

I think the loot drop rate is fine. The reason I don't like borderlands & have soured on diablo 3 is The loot drop frequency. I feel like a retail store manager juggling inventory playing those 2 games. I liked both games at first, now I feel I spend more time in the menus than playing.

I like how it's different & the world isn't completely ruled by RNGesus. The vendors matter, when's the last time u had to save $&& to buy something in game? It's been a while


PS- I hate ghost & his dialog somehow gets worse each time you replay a mission. I'd rather hear Siri, that's how much I hate him.
 
A slow but sure method to beat phogoth is to stand in the doorway and shoot him until that annoying floating orb spawns in there, then run back towards where u entered and wait for it and the extra enemies to despawn then go back to shooting out the doorway. Rinse, repeat until he's dead. Occasionally u gotta kill some regular add spawns but a lot of what u see are the adds that spawn because ur standing in that room and the devs obviously dont want u standing there, but then they all disappear after a moment of being out of it.

Yup, I solo'd lvl 28 today doing that. Makes that strike fairly trivial granted you don't have any issues taking down the shields on the wizards quick.

Okay so now there's some info abou the upcoming event, "The Queen's Wrath". What do you guys think? I was hoping for some brand new story-esque missions that were locked away in the game, but it seems it just means new bounties and new mission modifiers to the old content.

Fire me if old.

SHOCKER!

Anyone who expected actual story content or unique stuff was fooling themselves. Bungie are keeping future story and stuff like access to the locked areas of planets as DLC. They will not be giving that shit away for free when it's a game published by Activision and they can sell it. What we get is the base game (and the one raid) and then anything else is just modifiers/difficulties upon existing content and areas.

I went with that as well because the Hunter gear available was actually ranked lower than the chest armor I bought from Dead Orbit. Plus the weapons can be used by multiple characters, and I'm always leveling up the machine guns instead since I find them more useful in PvP (way, way more useful). It looks cool and will come in handy against the tougher strike bosses.
 
I hope there will be some sort of trade system implemented. If only a one time thing or something. I have 3 Titan armors, one exotic and 2 legendaries and got SHIT for my Hunter.
 
Guys... help please. Xur have these to my Warlock.


Is it way better than that one I have?

It is better to wait an Exotic Armor that give more defense?

Another question... there is a Exotic Engram Armor too... which the types of random armor I can get? It always will give me Exotic to my own class?

Do the moon one. Run past everything up to the first locked door. Fight them off, run past everything to boss room, kill a few adds and hide behind rock in back left of room, kill boss, rinse repeat. You can get it done in like 5-10 minutes without dying.
 
If anyone needs to get the weekly strike done I am at the boss now on PS4. Solo'd him to 25% then wizards got me. Friend/message me if you can help. Thanks.

Gotcha, thanks!
 
Bought my legandary helmet today from my vangauard points and decided to be brave and spend my modes of light to try and get the exotic chest piece for my hunter. Got one for the Warlock instead. I don't know what I expected. That basically killed my drive to keep playing :/

Seems that way to me. I read the update today and someone in the comments was excited to "get to explore the reef". I'm afraid he's going to be very disappointed.
