Man, the crucible has been cruel to me lately in terms of giving me loot after games. I played around 8 or 9 matches last night and only got a single crummy common gauntlet. Lame.
 
Man finally saw my first public event since beta on mars. Got a Mote of Light!

The gear carrot has got me going. Glad I have 3 solid days next week of home alone time to hit some trees and GRIND.

The game has some issues. But fuck if I don't want to play all the time.
 
What happens when I turn in 50 spinmetal?

You're given a small amount of glimmer and either vanguard points or crucible points depending on who you turn 'em in to. Either the crucible vendor or the Vanguard armory dude respectively.

edit: Beaten like the 100 or so hunters I slayed last night in the crucible.
 
It just makes zero sense and a loot based RPG to have essentially one single gun model per type. It's ridiculous. It especially makes sense because they start you out with a different looking AR, but after that, they all look the same to one another with a different color.
I'm actually kinda disappointed in this only because were also not allowed to use alien weaponry. Do any of the primary weapons even do elemental damage?

I was kinda expecting more unique weapons too
 
Holy shit, I was farming for high level engrams as shown in that video posted a number of pages back, then all of a sudden a giant battle broke out and high level level Fallen and Vex with yellow bars popped out of nowhere, from all directions. Even as a level 23, I was struggling to prevent myself from getting overwhelmed, they were so many.

It was nice to get the opportunity to use Fist of Havoc on large groups though. It saved my ass.

Mind telling me what that farming method is? It's difficult to dig through this massive thread.
 
It's been different for us every time so far. I thought they were set, and took him to get the rabbit ear emblem from the chest I found it in, and he got an engram instead.

Maybe there's a small pool of potential items or something.

Ah ok. That seems reasonable. I'll have to keep track of what everyone gets from now on. Still got all the Venus/Mars Golden chests to find.
 
Kinda wish blade dancer made you invulnerable or at least resistant to meelee damage. I guess it might be op but it sucks activating it, going ham on a high health opponent only to have then punch you to death while you're arc blading

where is this location? I am assuming Venus?
 
Man I'm surprised I passed the 5th mission in old Russia by myself , while waiting for the iPhone to release online I decided to play and jeez I was sweatn' during the final part of the mission but my level 4 titan did it :D
Plus it unlocked multiplayer and I am so close to level 7 after playing 4 matches, really fun
 
Titan Journal. Entry 96388.

First Salvage. Not fun. Alpha team much higher level. Mote light everywhere. Rest of squad nothing but Revive X's again and again. Alpha hits 10,000 at last. We'd never cleared a single node.

Good joke. Everybody laughs.
 
Thanks. I didn't know if they were used for some later crafting or not. Suppose I'll just get some points.

Yes they're used to upgrade some weapons later on. TBH it's not really worth turning them in for the small amount of glimmer and rep. I'd hang onto at least 50 or so.
 
Depends where you turn it in. You can get marks/rep and glimmer.

How many coins do you need?

e: Meant to reply to your post to me. And yeah, I'm totally down. Also I've seen a couple engram/item farming videos on Reddit. Might be worth trying to get my Light up.
 
i asked this yesterday but with no response. is there any counter to a titan's bubble shield super or do i just have to wait it out?

are they invincible while inside? do they get a shield boost temporarily after leaving?

Yeah, I've played nearly 40 hours, and only seen 1 public event.

Game is always online why?
 
Walk inside it

I'm assuming it depends on how they're traited, but it's very possible for that to be suicide unless you have a super x.x That extra barrier and health regen and shit can make people inside pretty much invincible to other stuff, even a shotty to the face followed by Blink Strike resulted in my own demise earlier x.x
 
So went to play some weekly heroic strikes and I find out that there's no matchmaking for it. Why the hell would Bungie do that? If you have practically no friends online then you're shit out of luck when it comes to playing them.
 
Walk inside it

Thanks!!!



You have to go in and kill them I think. When enemies enter the bubble, I'm able to kill them.

everytime i've tried this i seem to do no damage. even point blank shotguns and 2-3 melees and i've had titans go completely unharmed while inside the bubble (terrible players obviously to let me do this... but yeah).

ah, so it does give them crazy boosts and for all intents and purposes i should treat them as invincible. got it. so, wait it out or run away it is. hurrah for bring back the game halting armor lock bungle... ugh

I get killed inside it all the time but I haven't properly level'd defender yet.
 
You know, getting the platinum for this game is literally going to take months thanks to the faultless raider trophy...
 
So whats everyones progress so far?

I have not been rushing anything, and just taking the game as it comes at me.

Gameplay Time : 14h 37m 21s

Female Exo Hunter lv 20, skills at 19 unlocked. Bladedancer subclass has 2 skills unlocked so far

Haven't completed the story missions yet. Currently on Mars

1 PvP match under my belt, so 10m 23s of gametime in PvP lol. 8h 42m in Story missions. 3h 52m on Patrols / Exploring. 2h 30m in Strikes

No 2nd character created yet

3 Public Events participated in

No Exotics or Legendary finds

Fought in 3 of the 6 Strikes so far

Grimoire score of 1055
 
Yeah, it's on Venus.

Holy shit yeah this place can be brutal as fuck. I stumbled upon it by myself doing a patrol and I almost got wiped the fuck out when a high level Vex popped in. I was using it to clear the Vex bounties for killing Ultras.

Good to know that it can be farmed.
 
That Venus farming spot O_O gonna try that at some point today.

Hopefully I can find a Hunter legendary and also a Shingen-E today. A couple different people said the Shingen-E was even better than the Shingen-C in PvP and I really want to test that out. The C is amazing so if the E is even better... oh man.
 
So went to play some weekly heroic strikes and I find out that there's no matchmaking for it. Why the hell would Bungie do that?

Honestly, I don't have much confidence in matchmaking for the heroic strikes. I did it last night and basically everything's yellow, insanely powerful and you can't revive yourself. There's no "Shit you're the last one out there, stay alive!" it's "Shit, we're both dead, you gotta save us and not die in the process" lol. The Nightfall is even more unforgiving, if everyone dies instead of being sent back to a checkpoint you're kicked to orbit @_@ on top of having a ton of other modifiers.

Some gear does use them for lvling up too

What is this farming spot you speak of? lol
 
At what level does the weekly strike become doable? A couple buddies and I tried it immediately after completing the story on Wednesday and got demolished. I get that we'll need arc gear.

Now we are roughly around level 22, pushing 23. Defender, Bladedancer, and Sunsinger. Should it be doable now?

Had a titan try to bubble on me last night while I had arc blade up. Ended poorly for him.

I think when I did it we were all 22/23. And I didn't have an arc weapon which held us back some.(I did, but it was a shotty so....)
 
Switched to Sunsinger at 15..why do I have to relearn glide again?

Just 16,I normally play support but damn losing Nova Bomb for a less than stellar super might be to much

Did that too and totally gimped in Crucible but still trucking! The super is a res and buff? Never had a chance to use it on any team mates yet though :(

Still, the way it's setup you can't even play them if you don't have any friends online playing Destiny.

I mean I've done matchmaking for several strikes and have gotten paired with some pretty bad players so I know how it feels as I've had to revive people 20+ times in certain strikes and at the end we simply couldn't beat it because my teammates couldn't stop dying. With all that being said I'd still rather be able to play then not play at all because not a lot of the people on my friends list have Destiny.
 
I see thr 3 factions, my question is if I wear their bond, do I get to use thr crucible marks for the Vanguard stuff too? Or I have to pick

Yeah I had a shotty. Didn't help much, heh. I mostly used my void shield as a means of rezzing someone. There's no specific locations to get arc based weapons is there? :(
