Yeah! I got this too - hey drak_dreamer, did you also have to do the 500 Moon Kills prior to unlocking the Crucible kills? I just got my 500 moon kills and now its asking me to get crucible void kills but I've no void weapon ; ;
 
Have you tried 'Impossible' yet?

Impossible shows up when you're too underleveled. I'm unable to access it.

I did do that Gate Lord mission on Hard (level 20). It was fairly difficult for me. After I finsihed the mission, I looked back on what methods I had to take to survive. Regardless of my gear and damage output, being swarmed by warping Vex and a giant one shooting bombs at me was enough for me to see I wouldn't be steamrolling this.

There's tiered gear in Destiny, but in the end, your skill and intelligence is what gets you through the harder difficulties. The only thing gear does is make you use actions faster, do more damage, and die slower. Bosses that may seem to be bullet sponges? They're that way because your fireteam isn't doing enough damage. Some folks don't even know a boss' weak spot and will have to suffer a grueling fight with waves of adds spawning. Regardless of difficulty or what gear you have on, Destiny is closer to a Halo game than it is a loot-based RPG.
 
Is anyone else picking up random stuff during PvP games? I picked up a Mote of Light just now, and I saw on the screen update that some guy found a Legendary Engram. What is going on there?

EDIT: Maybe my Mote of Light was because I gained experience .. ?

you can still get a Mote of Light after a match, very rare though
 
So Titans who have played a bunch: for PvP do you prefer Striker or Defender subclass? I think I would much prefer the Defender Super, but everything else seems to keep me leaning towards Striker.
 
You can have both. You just have not yet unlocked the Shotgun ammo upgrade. They unlock from left to right. When upgrades are in a column, those are the ones you will have to choose between (but once unlocked you can swap between upgrades within a column freely).

But the green circle around the outside of the shotgun upgrade is all the way filled up!

Maybe it's just like 1% of one pixel away...

Thanks for the reply!
 
Calling all Hunters....

I happened across an Uncommon Helmet that has a scarf/snood over your mouth/nose. Combined with the hood of the cloak, I look like a Space Bandit. It's very sexy.

Has anyone come across higher tier examples? At the moment I'm guilty of form over function when it comes to this damn helmet.
Keep it on your vault. Hopefully they'll allow something like transmogrification in the future.

Defender is good for capture points and has saved me in battle a total of two times last night, but you do feel weak due to no super damage move like everyone else has.

I'm going to stick with my titan and hope things get better.
 
It starts becoming quite difficult to level weapon perks with Rare (Blues) and onwards. Would Crucible be the most consistent way to level them? I found bounties are good too.
 
How do you get light? By equipping items which have light stat?

What about Motes of light? How do I get those?

yes, like Light +5, Light + 18 etc... about 20 = 1 light level

motes of light = every time you level again and you can get it as a random drop from pvp/pve matches

Bounties really help if you still have any to do, pvp sort of works and feels faster then pve weapon leveling to me.

bounties are better. more reliable. never know when you might have a bad day in the crucible
 
Finally hit 20 and have some rare light gear. We kinda figured out that strike playlist on hard is the route to take for pretty good drops. I need to level up the cryptarch badly.
 
blink strike's range is laughably bad but its unmatched when you play it off of the shotgun. feels like a guaranteed kill in close range no matter what kind of fukkery comes into play. people just can't back up quick enough

hmm almost reached Crucible level 1, but haven't met anyone with blink yet though, everyone is just jumping around lol
 
It says for example 'Arc Burn' on the weekly strike, what does that mean?
Pick the mission and hover over the logo and it will tell you.

But it means arc damage is much more powerful. So use arc weapons and prepare to be pooped on by all the enemies using arc
 
Am I allowed to put my Expansion Pass code in the store yet? My mom said that the guys at GStop said I couldn't put it in until a certain date or it wouldnt work? Can I put it in the store? Has anyone done it yet?
 
I made the switch to blade dancer and omg I'm having so much fun with the arc blade and blink strikes. I haven't gotten use to the blink strike range yet. Also cant wait to unlock the talent that turns you invisible after a blink strike kill. The only thing I really hate is nova bombs...

Should work fine.

The trait that reduces recharge for Blink Strike is insane. The bar fills up super fast, like I can use it then a shotgun and it's ready to go again with a 50%-ish bonus from Strength.

not blink. blink strike - blade dancer melee ability. it's range is basically CoD MW2 knife at best.
 
you don't see your clan in-game apart from an emblem on your tag.
So far clans are just a way for a community to discuss and, eventually, plan game sessions.
In order to do so, either you're stuck to your PC or you need the Destiny app.

I'm on windows phone, so fuck me I guess.

and no, you can't copy/paste lists of people. and that sucks. because fuck sending 20 friends requests..when back from work with that itch to go play immediatly some crucible matches until some of my PSN friends are online for some PvE.

If people need a titan, a friend, a
average only at FPS ;-)
lover, feel free to add me. PSN : feronantus

also I love this game. and I'm starting to see how this is a love letter to the people who spent too much playing Halo. I hate grinding. I only did for the major Square games of the 90's. I think people don't give Bungie enough praise for making FPS grinding a palatable experience to average players looking for a sci-fi fix with great mechanics.

Bungle loves us whether you hate the Crucible or can't find people to join your fireteam.
Thanks for the info. I am on windows phone as well so no companion app for me either. I know I suck at PvP due to the Beta and al other FPS. It seems using this thread is the best method of teaming up unless you want to spam friends which I hate. Also the interface for inviting on PSN is ridiculous as is the fact when you join a fire team you have to leave the level and re enter. My psn is Nick_or_Dawood hit me up if you want to do some mediocre PvP or do some levels.

yeah a blade dancer can clear a small area very fast, i hate them lol
 
Guys, I solo'd the last boss of a Heroic Strike last night. I was Light 24. Enemies and bosses definitely scale with how many Guardians are present in the Heroic Strike. Also, I popped some Ether Seeds and made about 5k glimmer during the Sepiks fight with all the adds (many are elite, ymmv). And for all of that I got a House Banner and a Blue Engram that turned into a shitty green glove!

So Titans who have played a bunch: for PvP do you prefer Striker or Defender subclass? I think I would much prefer the Defender Super, but everything else seems to keep me leaning towards Striker.

I prefer Striker! I go run and gun style, so it works best for me. Also, Aftermath on AOE Super gives so much crowd control and is very good on Control.

Cool, may just stick with striker for a while. I also like to run and gun. The super is kind of meh to me (it's powerful but doesn't feel like it involves any level of skill), but besides that everything feels good.
 
seriously though - i think blade dancers have the best grenades in the game on top of being the fastest by far

i haven't even touched the invis stuff yet.
 
What's everyone's favorite PvP mode?

Mine is Control since it's hectic enough. Can't stand Clash - too many tryhards for my liking and it feels more like work and less like fun. Rumble is fun. Haven't tried the 4th yet.

I like Clash because it ends faster than other modes lol
 
how is combustion + keyhole + golden gun in pvp? anyone playing a high level gunslinger?
 
same. compared to the beta... those dudes have no love at all lol

I know I can't expect it to be a jackpot every time, but damn. I have a ship I like and can't see myself spending on anything else, but I feel like it's a waste to buy crap I am literally going to dm 20 seconds later. lol.

Yeah the Super is lacking but I use it for:

Control (AS/AM)
Getting orbs for Teammates
Taking out turrets/vehicles

If you are in an open map like Moon/Mars, you could get the superman punch but honestly, it's not that great.
 
Two questions.

I had a bounty to kill Russia strike boss, did it but it didn't count as fulfilled, do I need the killing shot?

Wtf is happening in PvP with gliwy people one shot meleeing me from full health after I have already shot/punched them near death? 90%+ of my annoying deaths come this way. Lag? Some weird ability?
