I still can't get over how terrible the story actually is, what on earth were Bungie thinking?
I actually thought they were turning it around with Venus, but then it went back to the same old stuff on Mars.

A friend got one randomly from a pvp match, it was a purple with 5 motes, so I guess it's just random?
Do people see themselves playing this in 8-12 months time?
I've stopped at Venus and basically leveled to 20 via crucible
Same over here too. Though instead of Crucible, I went around doing bounties and helping gaffers out with strikes. I just finished Venus as a level 22 Titan.Same here I'm yet to finish Venus.
Started playing half an hour ago and already dropped connection twice, gonna check my connection settings.
I have not been doing ANY crucible since the Alpha/Beta - but it sure seems like folks are getting more/better loot drop from it than story/strikes. Is anyone else noticing a drop in encrypted engrams and 'good' lot in general in non crucible activities - or am I just imagining it / unlucky?
There seems to be some hit detection or lag compensation etc. shit going on at times. I've seen lods of CoD:BO2 style "i put a mag into him and he kills me in one shot" or "i shot him and he then died a second to two later around the f'n corner".
I think that's part of what some are seeing as PvP imbalance.
really quick, confirm or deny please, the vanguard armory weapons... are they only level 5 or if you get them at lvl 10+ are they lvl 10 weapons? ive heard conflicting reports....

3 more lvls before my Hunter gets Bladedancer
Yeah I can confirm after level 10 they turn into level 10 weapons. I bought a level 10 fusion rifle from there last night.
Doing Strikes through the playlist is better because all of them are set to whatever level you pick at deployment (18/20/22/24) and you always get a guaranteed blue reward at minimum on completion. Plus you get Vanguard Marks and a little rep.
I am getting near zero drops from level 22 enemies as a level 20, same thing last night too, nothing.
Have you played a Bungie game before? They tend to go the realistic route with standard weapons-building upon the concept of form and creating strong, punchy weapons from there.
The more interesting, creative stuff is the magic abilities.
This was never going to be a pop-y, comic book-ish take on things. That's not what Bungie does.
Yeah, I feel the game has completely missed its mark. It's obviously supposed to be Diablo-esque, but the gear is few and far between.

Crucible is not bad, but the balance feels so off on the weapons still. And there is way too many one shot kills in it.
I'm confused on how the game balances weapons in the crucible. Do weapon stats even matter when level upgrades are off? Because I'm been doing pretty good with a low level auto rifle with only 30 ATK power or so.

Do you only start getting Vanguard Marks at 18?
Story?![]()
Ok, what is happening here? I haven't jumped into PvP in the final game yet. I'm seeing you decimate people with BladeDancer, which looks incredible, but then I see that they are level 11s. Is it matchmaking you with others that have yet to unlock their own subclasses? How is that balanced at all?
Yeah, you don't earn any type of Marks until 18.
I've just got an exotic rocket launcher. You get a trophy for equipping one and it says that only 0.1% have got that trophy. Must be very rare indeed!
Speaking of trophies. Have you guys checked out the list and rarity? Only 2.9% have captured 50 points in Control!
After having zero hype at launch, I am in love with this game. But this is a giant flaw that HAS to be fixed.
Agreed. They need to significantly increase the loot drop rates, because I'm hardly getting anything.
every green drop right now is like a white, it's trash, the rifle you get at the end of the story is beastly and nothing has out-scaled it yet.

I think FWC may be the one I join permanently, they look the coolest.FWC!
But really, I like the red/white of New Monarchy. Plan on joining them next.
nope. its chat.
i understand people love lore, but at the end of the day, this is a video game. im not coming here for story, im coming here for gameplay.
without a chat system, this game is seriously holding itself back from being great.

Y'know, it's funny. The game is a Diablo or MMO-lite that has a LOT of stuff that encourages / demands groups for max fun. Yet, because it's on console and they have no GM's or people to police the assholes, they go out of their way to prevent people from talking to each other.
It's kind of surreal.
If you're on PS4 or XB1 you can add me (level 20 on XB1 and about to start a PS4 dude..had medical issues or I'd have two level 20's already, sigh), and I'll rumble w/ya. Bizazedo on both.
Or if you don't like my name, add people from here, should help.
Mmm. Fair enough. For me, one of the major drawing points was a Bungie sci-fi story, so I'm inclined to knock a fair few points off for that.
