You should see them once you hit 17 lol

This will become available:

The more you level up, the more Strikes open up

I'm 18, so Vanguard Eagle is Normal for me, while vanguard viper is considered Hard due to me being 2 levels below the requirement

There is also the godlike skirmish mode ( left side of zone selection screen)

What! Why am I just hearing about this now. I must have just missed all the news about this. What a fantastic addition. Hype intencifying.gif

 

[GraveRobberX]

So getting to level 25 is necessary of you want to hit the weekly Vanguard +100 Marks cap

The more you level up, play that certain Strike Playlist (randomized), more Marks you earn as you can

Either do < 20 in a week as a 25 or 50 as level 20 lol
Tuesday it resets the cap back to 0 (you keep whatever marks you earned)

Same goes for the Crucible, need to win 34 to get the 100 cap or lose 50 times, or it could be a mix of both
Win +3, Lose +2

 

[Skyr]

Trying to find the answer to this. Does damage scale down if you're a higher level than someone else in the campaign or a strike? Meaning, if I'm 15 and they're 5, and we go on an early mission, does my damage scale down? And to what do I scale down to?

Anyone? I'm very curious too.

 

[MadSexual]

try watching the html5 version, if that's an option. For whatever reason, their flash videos run poorly on my i7 laptop.

Members only, but thanks, good to know the option is there.

 

[jesu]

You could just do patrol missions and level up that way. The story in this game seems optional honestly, though I have no idea if you can only unlock planets by going through the story. I'd hope not. I think I'd have more fun fucking around in patrol and strikes than doing the story missions.

Are you on PSN? I can help.

I agree with that, I've enjoyed doing the patrols missions quite a bit(there is even a bounty for doing six of them early on)
It can help you level up past the next missions level if you want to make it easier, because they can be pretty hard to do on your own.

 

[Evil Beaver]

Sooo.....different guardian classes have different armor ratings right? Like a Titan has the most armor of all 3 classes?

 

[Wallach]

There is also the godlike skirmish mode ( left side of zone selection screen)

What is that anyway? I wasn't sure how it was different from the regular Crucible queue.

 

[scarletham]

What's the deal with Vanguard marks? I played a few Crucible matches last night (won about half), but didn't get any marks. I'm level 8, if it matters.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Not a bug.

Are you sure? The following missions I had no Sparrow until that Story mission where you actually get access to it.

 

[Afrocious]

Anyone? I'm very curious too.

I've answered this a lot and I think it's a great feature. This should be in the OP in the new OT.

This sounds amazing.



If they're 5 and they choose Normal difficutly, then you're not scaled down.

If they choose Hard, then you're scaled down. By scaled down, I mean your gun's damage output and your damage threshold is lowered to be a challenge.

Regardless of either difficulty, you still get good XP and loot from it.

 

[Cru]

Did anyone pre-order digital on PS4? Game unlocked and plays fine but still has a 'Buy $69.99' button which is pretty annoying.

I think someone here actually bought the game twice by accident.

 

[Onikaan]

Been having a blast leveling with friends.

Spoiler

We did that Hive base with the sword, the one on the moon? So much fun.

I take it the level cap is pretty low because Bungie want you to get there quickly? Meaning this is where most of the content is?

There's more on the horizon

Seriously, level 20 is like getting your feet wet in this game

 

[Mchardy]

anyone wants to team up for the Venus mission. The vex are kicking my ass

If you still need help I can join.

 

[Kingbrave]

Yeah. Some some areas make you wait till you do a certain mission. I preferred the beta way of getting it myself.

 

[Diablohead]

It's surely a bug but I had access to The Sparrow in the very first mission, lol.

Same in the beta, you could call a sparrow at the very start for some reason, it confused me for a bit why it was not working until I did the sparrow quest.

[BenjaminBirdie]

I also like those Surveying Patrol missions. Easy, but almost a little platforming meets exploring. And the view is nice. ;D

 

[lightning2k3]

Oh yeah, who's going to be game at 9 PM EST? I'd like to play with gaffers finally. PS3 or PS4. No matter to me.

PSN: Afrodeeziyak. Please have mics since I have one. Also be nice!

I'll be up for it. PS4 id:lightning2k7

Awesome, I love that.

Thanks alot.

 

[Zakalwe]

Playing though story solo on hard is really fun.

The first wizard was hiding behind a pillar, I had to pick off his minions one by one so I could get close to finish him off. Then when he realised my health was low he started hunting me down, chased me while my hearth was blinking red and I sucked and weaves waiting for the right time to get the last shot.

Felt very reminiscent of old Halo fights. Can't wait for higher end content.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Who will be on in 3 hours on PS3, lol?

 

[DY_nasty]

What is that anyway? I wasn't sure how it was different from the regular Crucible queue.

3v3 with respawn only by teammates activating your ghost.

Preferably Fireteam only imo. Ridiculous fun. Exp bonus too.

 

[Swag]

Playing this game solo isn't that fun.

Anyone want to link up, around level 12, psn is sebulon3k

 

[enewtabie]

So in the picture above. I can see where Mars goes on the right top. What goes in the circle above the tower?

You can only earn Vanguard marks from Vanguard Strike list that I posted a few posts up with those pictures

Crucible has it's own marks

Both have weekly 100/100 caps, reset on Tuesday (Forget the time)

An aside: Pfffffffffffffff

Spoiler

that voice change from Dinklage to something else before the Sword of Crota mission is hilarious.

 

[SDCowboy]

Just ran an earth PUG with people that actually knew to shoot the spider legs. So fun.

 

[enewtabie]

Ok thanks. I thought it might just scroll to the rest of the solar system.

Rumble is quite a cool PvP mode and Clash is fun but Control still owns my heart.

Haven't played the other unlocked mode yet.

Loving my inconsistency, go from a 2.2 K/D to a .47 to a manageable 1.45
You never know what you're going to get with me like Kinder Surprise.., that's half the fun XD

 

[WGMBY]

I'm pretty sure vanguard marks are for PvE. PvP give Crucible marks instead.

Good read thanks.

I really need to put some time into this game now. Only managed 4 hours since Monday night. I totally blame my wife for taking time off work.

Luckily I've got 20 hours penciled in to play before the end of this week. Should see me hit 20 and then some.

 

[todahawk]

Let's see them day 2 guardians! I fuckin binged out on this game yesterday and leveled my dude to 14 lol.

My lvl 14 warlock! I can't wait to start getting more rare (blue) items.

noice!

Getting there slowly



Strikes are getting a little bit harder. Some of them just throw a ridiculous number of mobs at you, I just get overwhelmed. Grinding for rep gear now tho.

not bad... for a titan.

 

[backflip10019]

When do additional PvP modes unlock? I was only able to play Control last night (granted I only was able to get in two rounds).

 

[MrBlonde]

I am a level 5 but only have level 7 missions and higher available and got my ass kicked, got frustrated and turned the game off. Any advice?

The game was fun at first, I had a random level 11 helping me but once he left I got to level 5 he left and then I got destroyed

 

[educator]

Can somebody help me with a few questions... please

1. I feel as if the game is difficult enough going solo. I am finishing missions (only level 3 at the moment)... but the next story mission is for level 4. I know that I can work my way thru it but I hear people talking about grinding missions. Is there a way to skip the story parts?

Hey mate, I understand your worry but I can reassure you that it's more than possible to solo most parts of this game without any trouble. I'm a lvl 14 hunter and have solo'd everything so far, on hard difficulty. Sure, things get tough when you're 1 rank under recommended difficulty on hard, but if you can stand wiping a few times you can do it. Just learn your enemies and use different tactics to see what works. Mobs are pretty easy in controllable situations, the hard part is meeting a more dangerous enemy (Witches etc) + multiple smaller mobs attacking you. It's not impossible and quiet frankly a fun challenge.

 

[JoJo UK]

please, there was the alpha and beta

To be fair Titanfall had an alpha the beta and it didn't stop people shitting a brick at release.

Played for about 4 hrs last night and got to level 9, enjoying it for the most part but the story is balls and PvP seems like a step back from Halo multi. Enjoying playing the game however (if that makes sense). Artstyle, sound and music are stunning and I want to spend more time in the world getting to know it (actually pretty much the same as Titanfall and Halo).

 

[Polarburr]

Are you playing on an Xbone? I had a similar issue last night -- the mic can be finicky. I'd recommend plugging it in first before launching the game. Seems to fix it every time for me.

Still nothing.

 

[JB1981]

When do the other PvP modes open up? Only Control available for me.

 

[malfcn]

Trying to figure out how to get DestinyGAF on my Warlock, already in a group.

2. I did one of the first missions in the game to get the gear or soemthing for the ship. I see other people near me but I enter to fight the boss and when it phases.. those people disappear. Is there a way to fight those bosses with others? it seems awful touch and go/ difficult for one person to handle solo.

3. At what point do you begin PVP?

1. You can skip story party and level up by grinding through the patrols I guess.

2. Yes, you need to get people to join your fireteam. 3 person max.

3. lvl 5.

Yeah I was wondering about this too. I'm in the NA west clan but the banner doesn't say DestinyGAF. I need to represent dammit lol
