The competitive multiplayer is amazing, worth a purchase for that alone if competitive is your forte.

You can trade between your own characters. Atleast you have that so if you ever level another class you can speed it up by gifting loot to your new class.
What shader do you have and where did you get it?

Another day in the books, might run some more later. Got up to lv. 19! BladeDancer is calling hard but I really want to get up to being able to use 2 throwing knives. I just love those damn things. My suit has me at 100% effect with speeding up throwing knives recovery so I get one incredibly fast, especially if there is ammo laying around as picking it up makes it jump up even faster.
Got to Mars and having a hell of a good time. These strikes are intense and insanely fun. I love getting out of them with 0 deaths. Makes me feel good! I've had to trade in all my good rare gear for even better uncommon gear for around my level but hopefully I can start running Mars strikes and get that all back tomorrow!
Damn good time. Oh and finally did my first pvp match today, for the grimoire score lol. Meh. Its PvP. About what you expect these days. Run around in circles, die, kill, move on.

the game's begging for them - rumble especially.
They can have them all under one "mixed" playlist, so it doesn't break up the PvP community too much.
good to know.
I was expecting the story to be garbage, to be honest. I won't be disappointed if it's as bad as people are claiming, really.
Don't let others criticism get in the way of you enjoying a game. Play it and enjoy - it's good fun.

It's called Achilles, I got it from the vendor out to the left in the Tower. I think it's still there for another few hours too.

This has probably already been asked but is there a way to know exactly when and where public events happen? I've only come across one so far and I think I'm already near the end of the story. I want to participate in more public events but I don't want to fuck around aimlessly waiting for them to randomly appear.
I got the Achilles shader from pvp. For titan it makes you all orange and white. Mixed with a blue future war cult sash I'm looking sharp as hell.
Would someone be able to explain the significance of gaining higher levels beyond 20? As far as I know, none of the skills are locked away by a level so technically I can stay level 20 and keep unlocking new skills by completing quests, killing things, etc. Also, raising a level, at least to my knowledge doesn't raise your base stats. I'm also noticing that the new armor I found that contains Light has lower defense than the armor I had without Light. I'm basically just confused about why I'd need to go above 20.

Raids and Strikes that require level 20+. The Raid for example is 26, and so you will be locked out from it, There are also some enemies on Venus and (I think) on Mars that go past 20.

So from that I gather it just gives me access to events?
But again, if I'm facing level 24 enemies, wouldn't it be the same thing if I faced them at lvl 20 and at lvl 24, since those levels don't raise any stats? Or does the armor eventually start outclassing the base level 20 armor
Sorry guys, this has got to be the only game I've ever played where I didn't understand the point of gaining levels past the soft cap

I wonder if this even started already. I hit three tonight in like 45 minutes.

Was doing a Moon mission 2 levels above my level. Was quite hard, get disconnection error twice. Last night d/c'd twice attempting a missions as well. Fix your shit Bungie.

Pretty much.
It's also a given that any expansion will raise the level cap. So it gives you a head start for future content, I guess.
I hate this game, straight up hate this game. Spend 3 hours running level 22 strikes, get a full inventory of shit to decrypt, go decrypt it. And I wish I could say it was fucking nothing but it's fucking worse, It was 99% nothing, and the second to last thing I decrypt happens to be some purple motherfucking boots. I'm all excited and shit until I open up my inventory to equip the badboys just to be greeted with:
Here's a video so you can see this shit happen the way I did.

This is just beyond terrible, your chance for legendary is already super low and apparently you can get them for classes you're not even playing. That's mindblowingly retarded in a game that has no trading functionality. I'm done for today.
Ok, that sucks
I guess they expect you to have multiple max level characters, eventually, but sure as fuck doesn't help your initial run much Pretty disappointing.backflip10019

I'm the opposite. I've gotten almost nothing of value after a few hours in the Crucible. Level 13 if that matters.
You can get really good green and sometimes blues from vendor. I bought plenty of gun along the road. (Currently level 24). Now I use a weapon I found but I mostly used vendors weapon while leveling.
Trust me. I'm a PhD

Them adding in modes like salvage gives me hope that they will do this over time.
I went from level 6 to 14 in the crucible but didn't really get good gear. I do have 10 uncommon engrams for various things but i'm waiting to reach level 18 to decrypt them (currently level 16).
Legendaries unlock at 18, along with crucible marks. I've gotten some great stuff from Rumble in just 30 minutes of play.

But all the sweet hunter pics are going to make me roll a hunter.
gooooooood
Ward of Dawn doesn't seem meant to replace environmental cover.
Early in Defender progression, your main uses for it are going to be forcing resurrections in places you otherwise would have to wait on someone's respawn, or blocking a fire line on an existing cover's flank so you don't have to give up a position for a wave of boss fight adds. It lasts long enough to allow you (or a teammate) to take some very advantageous positions during boss fights without much risk, like the top level overhangs in Cerberus Vae III.
Subclass progression will make a big difference though, because you'll start to be able to use Ward of Dawn to buff players (preferably with bonus damage for PvE) and then later also feed them super meter in the same duration. Around that point you'll probably be changing your typical WoD positioning for the most clear place everyone in the fireteam can access without fucking up anyone's firing lines, and using it for a rez or something will generally be a waste (though you will still want it in a position where you can force consistent enemy fire onto it to generate orbs for your team).
A fully buffed WoD will give your team a spherical point of cover they can walk through instead of around, that buffs their damage and spits out orbs of light for the entire duration. You'll wind up supplying much more damage to the encounter than a regular super because your teammates will likely generate +1 Super of their own (possibly more depending on how many orbs it allows it to spit out), and on top of that you have a significant period of buffed gun damage. You could technically generate even more orbs during add waves through Gift of Light and Iron Harvest, but I'd probably rather have War Machine and Illuminated in those slots for PvE.

Quoted for new page I guess!
Get to level 18 and you can get legendaries itens. For me one of three matches has at least one blue item.
