Do Titans just not get sniper rifles at all? I literally haven't come across one single sniper rifle, either through drop or for sale, and I'm level 11 now. It's really pissing me off.

Are certain weapons limited to certain classes?

No, all classes can equip all weapons. Dunno what to tell you about the lack of drops. RNG, etc, etc.

How do you get the vanguard armor that you receive for preordering? I am sure this has been answered but things have been moving fast on GAF!! Thanks in advance!

I'm a hunter and have a bunch.

 

[cripterion]

LMFAO... dude... really?

I think you need to go back to CoD, sounds like that's a little more your speed.

Was that really necessary?
Frankly the zealots defending this game are much more annoying than the people that complain about it.

Anyway, hit lvl20, I only have a helmet that has light on it, will that allow me to go beyond 20 or I need to have all the adequate gear? Also can anyone use the clan/group functions ingame?

Nope. All classes can use all weapons.

My first priority was a new ship. Because having a sweet whip for fireteam loading screens is very important.

My kind of guy. Default ship peasants!

I've been grinding patrols until I can do the story missions on hard solo. Immensely more satisfying. (and it feels like I get better loot on hard mode, sparse as it is.)

Hey guys quick question my vanguard armor still won't load even after restoring on psn so if I delete the entire game would I have to pay again to re download it would I lose my progress ???

Check your addons first, should look like this:

There's a vendor in the Tower near the shipwright. It sells the Vanguard stuff. If you can't see the level 5 (or level 10, if you're high enough) you need to go into Settings -> PSN -> Restore Licenses.

Lmao you're telling the dude who just complained about story...to go 'back' to CoD? Nice one. You really got me, man.

 

[Stallion Dan]

Given the context I understand what you mean by ads but what is that short for, adversaries?

Additional enemies.

 

[Apt101]

OK, I've had some time to let my drunken anger simmer. I gave it some more time and it seems to be improving, but a few things really need tuning. Boss health, it's so great it turns what should be a tense fight into a long, drawn out affair. More loot. And I do not feel skilled or powerful when I am mowing down low level guardians in PVP who clearly stand no chance against me. I got a 1.5 KD ratio just goofing off and melee attacking people (they were all level 4-6).

 

[Vitanimus]

Beat the Moon strike, and despite being a level over the recommended, shit was HARD. Like, dying left right and centre. We still managed to finish it though, and got my first Rare piece of loot as a reward!

 

[Strider]

Yea I can agree the bosses are a too tanky. Lower the main boss health but add more enemies around them to maintain the difficulty? could be a solution.

Keep in mind that all of your damage/life/armor is all normalized in PVP. Gear does nothing for you there, nor do levels. The only perks you get for being higher level involves the tech tree stuff/weapon and armor tech trees.

Which, admittedly, can make a pretty big difference.

THIS

The Bosses and Minibosses take WAY too long to bring down. Maybe make them move or attack more aggressively?

 

[Jest Chillin]

Soooooo, back during the beta I joined DestinyGAF, but now it says on Bungie.net that Im not in a clan and DestinyGAF doesnt show up in my name when im on PS4. What gives?

Bungie reset the clans after the beta. So you have to go back to the Group and "Set as Playstation Clan" again.

 

[names2hard4you]

What you guys call lack of content and what not, I actually enjoy it for what it is. Also the game just released, it is meant to be a long term project. I just feel like everyone is trying to reach end game too quickly, that's why some of you are burnt out. Heck we haven't even had raids unlock or anything. I expect this to be a game in which they just keep on adding more and more content after you finish the story missions.

Idk, all I know is that yesterday I played all night with my buddies and had a blast.

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

Anyone down to coop some story missions, level 5-8 or so? Just picked up a ps4 destiny bundle yesterday but I don't really got much of a friends list going.

My psn is: Panjeet

 

[Sai-kun]

Oh, since I use Jumper, I gotta hit the Right Stick to use my super melee. Awesome lol

 

[puffyshirt]

Well what the hell lol.

 

[Stallion Dan]

That just passes the tanking off to smaller enemies, it doesn't change the problem.

They need better designed bosses.

 

[Lockjaw333]

I am always amazed at how much time people sink into a big game after it launches. I played like 3 hours last night and am a level 4, some of you are in the 20s. That is just insane to me.

Anyway, I love the game to no end. My only complaint is having to return to the tower after each story mission. Would prefer an option to return to the Tower rather than the countdown. Its a minor gripe.

I'm surprised at the negative reactions to the game so far. I feel like if we weren't given an alpha and beta, everyone would be freaking out at how awesome the game is "like they did during the alpha/beta). You knew you would have to replay what you played in the alpha/beta, so how is that a negative and "boring"?

 

[PooBone]

As the biggest Halo fan I've ever met, I can tell this game doesn't have what it takes to hook me. People can run through the same four spaces doing the same stuff over and over (strike, story, patrol, it's all equally pointless without the numbers attached to your character) and that's fine if you love it. But it's not for me.

You'll get some. My first blue engram was a super powerful sniper. I love this gun!


Still haven't found even a green AR though, kinda annoying. But I just got some blue knight gauntlets so I'm pretty happy.

 

[IKizzLE]

Well it's level 22, and when I was level 10, some level 12s could one shot me in explore, so if the same trend continues, it probably wouldn't be a fun experience.

Level 20 as well, played it with another level 20 and the heroic strike is impossible.
I cant see a group of level 20s beating it.

And all my gear is rare with each weapon having over 200 attack with a 600 overall defense.

 

[GrumpyOutlander]

The beta basically was the full game... Up until you get to Venus!

I enjoyed the beta so that's not a bad thing. I can't wait to see the new stuff though.

 

[puffyshirt]

Yeah, or just create bosses that require movement and strategy, instead of just bullet sponges. That sphere thing at the end of the first strike was only a boss in the strictest sense. It was just something I shot for like ten minutes.

Boss health is fine imo. The more you play the strikes, the faster you'll beat the bosses. Anytime you face a boss for the first few times it will take awhile as you're learning the encounter and the more you play it, the better you'll get and the faster it will feel.

Tuning down boss health would only result in boss fights being too fast and thus feeling trivial in the end.

 

[IKizzLE]

Moon Strike and Dust Palace, hardest strikes in the game by far.
Redid them both on level 20 in the Vanguard and were infinitely easier when you have a Defender titan on your team.

Yeah. That's how people get so burnt out on games so fast. Taking a day or two off work to hit the level cap in less than 5 sittings is not how you should enjoy the game. At least in my opinion.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Nah, they nerfed the earth strike mission so much it isn't even a challenge anymore. I dunno maybe on Hard it will be difficult, but doubtful.

Haven't done any other strikes yet. Hope to get to do the moon strike today at some point after work, but again doubtful.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

I like the MiniBoss Battles.

Yeah, I'm not going to bother trying heroic strikes until I've got enough Light to actually be the required level.

As opposed to running through the same missions or same multiplayer maps in Halo over and over..? Not really following.

 

[daedalius]

Holy shit Nightfall missions send you back to orbit on a wipe.

That is pretty brutal.

 

[AmateurHour212]

just send me a msg when

What's your gamer tag? I'll add you if that's cool.

 

[140.85]

Man, I tried a Handcannon on a whim and fell in love...forgive me Cydonia

 

[The Flash]

Anyone on Bone wanna team up for the Moon Strike?

 

[kittens]

I'm having a really hard time knowing which story missions I'm supposed to do next. Right now I have two level 17 mission on Mars unlocked and I have no idea which one I'm supposed to do first.

 

[Papercuts]

The game is finally starting to give me things for not being in last. This is the begging of a dark new age.

Spoiler

until i decrypt them and get a shit ass common

I'm still not sure how I feel about the PvP, but the maps atleast seem better than the beta offerings. Blind Watch on Control is the only one I despise, though I don't think I've seen all the maps yet. I'm liking the Scout Rifle a lot here, along with the shotty. Even though I think it got nerfed in the patch, shotgun still puts in fuckin' work.

 

[Squirts Macintosh]

Is the free ship (aurora wake) only for digital or something? I've gotten all the other preorder stuff just fine but never saw this even after renewing licenses. Only vanguard and red speeder show up on my addons.

 

[Cuphead]

I didn't play the alpha or beta. It's a good thing, because according to what I'm after in a Bungie-made FPS, the beta was about 1/4 of the content they sold me.

Um, yeah. Kinda.

If you don't like the game, at least provide a reason. Don't just go "LOL, hurr durr, $59.99 this game sucks hurr durr."

At least add to the discussion.

 

[X-Frame]

I haven't gotten one Public Event yet. Are they deactivated for today or have you guys gotten some today?

 

[Cudder]

Do you guys just pretty much dismantle all of your lower leveled equipment? I feel like there's really no thought as to what I should keep. It's pretty much just keep the highest level gear.

Anyone?

Long term project is only good if the content is free. If they plan on charging us for every new addition, then yes the game is severely lacking in content. We already know paid DLC is coming, so are they going to toss any free bones to players or is this it?

 

[IKizzLE]

Are you sure? My team got wiped twice in the nightfall strike at devils lair and we got sent back to the previous checkpoint.

 

[pixlexic]

So do you think they will raise the level cap by 5 or 10 for each expansion?
