Morning all.

So hopefully I'll break into Bladedancer territory today.

Looking at all the skill trees, combined with the modifiers on armour and what not, it seems there could be some very interesting, and powerful, builds.

 

[Aomber]

Well I hit level 16 tonight, played about seven hours straight with the room mate.

The game has its flaws, I get that. There's a lot of things it can use improvements on. But I am TOTALLY fucking hooked, it's so much fun, I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a while. I think it's the kind of game a lot of people aren't used to so some might not enjoy it as much, but I think people who have played games like Phantasy Star like myself are feeling the same way I am. It's a really fun game.

Furthermore I'm not really worried about the game. Diablo 3 seems to be a big subject ITT and it's probably been said before, but that game was a total trainwreck when it came out. It's now highly regarded. Destiny is off to a much better start than D3

Honestly I'm gonna go ahead and buy the white PS4 bundle. I have it on 360 now but the game alone has convinced me to make the step into next gen.

 

[Frenden]

Yeah exactly just color it what it's gonna be that's all.

Dont make me get excited, leave matchmaking, wait the few minutes to load for a crappy blue or green.

Or, just color it to match the lowest possible outcome instead of the middle. Problem solved.

I'm playing the story with a new character and I can't find the Temple of Crota on the moon for the life of me. The waypoint says it's at a spot that it's not at.

it's off to the side of the tall circular building in anchor of light. there's a path that's almost hidden beyond some fallen.

 

[Garland7G]

Ok, took of pic of my Warlock, not bad so far

Oh, there was a crack in the wall I was supposed to go through. Usually when I go through spaces like that I face an invisible wall or a "Turn Back!" message. This game has trained me not to explore. :-\

 

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

Finally got my Exotic Sunbreaker Gauntlets after beating the level 26 Weekly Strike!!!

 

[Sai-kun]

lol my friend just bought the exotic helmet from Xur. Apparently you can only equip one exotic at a time? wtf? lmao

 

[David___]

One exotic weapon and one exotic armor.

 

[Alucrid]

You just made my night.

You also get more than 2-3 at later levels

One exotic weapon and one exotic armor.

I did not know this. Guess I won't be spending both my coins and my motes at the vendor tomorrow. Now I feel bad for not getting any legendary items...

True that would work.

 

[NastyBook]

GGs to WTF_M8s and contramann for the H-Strike. Too bad about the Salvage matches. That first one on the moon was dope. We rocked them. Then we imploded.

 

[Uthred]

Got disconnected from a strike with the boss left with a sliver of health.

-_-

Happened to me last night, the fact bosses are such bullet sponges makes it all the more frustrating

 

[SharkJAW]

I finally beat the weekly and boy was it tough. That arc damage doesn't mess around.

Also got the helmet from Xur. Feels good

:O How did you get the strange coins?

 

[SolidChamp]

Starting to feel the lack of content complaints. Grinding the same half dozen strikes for 2-3 marks a pop when it takes 65 to buy anything worthwhile, nevermind that marks reset every week.

They fucking WAT???

Vanguard marks reset every fucking week? No...no please tell me I haven't embarked upon a fools errand by playing this game.

Edit: Nevermind. Thank god this post is inaccurate.

 

[yatesl]

Have they increased public events? Not seen any in 24 hours of playtime (...), but had 2 in my first 2 missions today - one on Mars (going to finish the story!) and one on Earth doing the daily.

 

[Steel]

Man, the Crucible has turned to complete shit already. 99% auto rifles and shotguns. What a mess. I can't imagine it survives past the release of Halo and Call of Duty.

I've seen fusion rifles and snipers used quite a bit. But you're right, auto-rifles are the go-to gun for everything but control.

They fucking WAT???

Vanguard marks reset every fucking week? No...no please tell me I haven't embarked upon a fools errand by playing this game.

You can get a max of 100 per week. Until the next week you can't get more. I'm pretty sure you don't lose the marks you've already accumulated.

So what am I missing out on by not joining a faction?

Nice guide on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2g7lxk/guide_factions/

Honestly, I love my hand cannon. Three shots to the face and you're dead. One shot anywhere with no shield and you're dead.

 

[Ken]

thanks for the run alucrid and midnights

give me your gil and secret coins vero

 

[kittens]

I'm pretty sure Chamber is wrong about that.

 

[The Inventor]

Edit: Question regarding marks already been answered, nevermind, sorry.

 

[SolidChamp]

Got it. Cheers.

 

[Seil]

Marks don't reset. The cap resets. You can only earn 100 each a week.

 

[Steel]

I run with the hand-cannon every once in awhile too. I feel it'd be a better secondary than primary. Auto-rifles are much easier to use and more forgiving for misses. thus why the vast majority of people use them. If you find the right hand cannon though(the one with a clip of four) it's two shots to the head.

 

[Chamber]

I'm pretty sure Chamber is wrong about that.

Never trust that fucker.

 

[Koki]

Lol they dont reset, only the cap does. How else would you be able to buy the 150 cost gear?

 

[SharkJAW]

Finally hit 24, want to do level 26 heroic strike for dem coins tomorrow. Anyone want to carry some dead weight around? I'm pretty precise with my hand cannon. PS4: SharkJAW

 

[mrklaw]

Would be nice to know roughly how far away mission objectives are when you pick them up on patrol. Sometimes they are really far away. Actually was a bit annoying when one mission took me to the spider tank area so I just abandoned it :/

 

[Jobbs]

I stand by every negative thing I've said about this game, but for some reason I'm still sitting here playing it, trying to get better gear. About to hit level 20. I'm just a sucker for this type of thing. I get sucked in.

Plus the act of shooting shit still hasn't gotten old.

Yeah, mine has a clip of 13 so I can spam it pretty well. I do only try and use it from afar and generally when enemies haven't noticed me. I almost always have a shotgun as a secondary though, so that wouldn't work for me.

 

[NastyBook]

Squirts and ShockJAW, I got you two on my buddy list now. I'm down for Strikes tomorrow with you both. Salvage, too, if you two are familiar with the mode. Gonna take this new Rare AR of mine for a spin on Venus, then I'm going to bed.

The gunplay is so satisfying and delicious, it's definitely what keeps me in despite the shortcomings. That and loot upgrading is irresistibly enticing.

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

Have they increased public events? Not seen any in 24 hours of playtime (...), but had 2 in my first 2 missions today - one on Mars (going to finish the story!) and one on Earth doing the daily.

I got two in the same story mission on the Moon (although I was taking my time exploring^^). I thought it would be in like a big patch or something, but looks like they changed it server side. Same with loot drops and chests; mostly just commons at my level (10), but more often than they were popping up before

 

[Chamber]

Heavy grinding of course.

In the last two days, I've experienced three public events during story missions. Most of my other playthroughs have been in the Crucible.

I just want to do them for the trophy, unless they reward good stuff!

Like a lot of things in the game, public event loot is hit or miss. Sometimes you probably won't get anything.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Got a legendary heavy weapon engram from losing shittily in pvp.

Turned into 3 strange coins.

[DJ88]

If the cap was 100 per week and it rest every week, you'd never be able to get 150.

Who said marks reset every week?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

So I can now confirm fusion rifles are broken in multiplayer lol

 

[lazybones18]

Speaking of cap resets, has Bungie said what day of the week the weekly resets take place?

 

[Icyflamez96]

So I can now confirm fusion rifles are broken in multiplayer lol

is that really a problem just add duct tape good as new

 

[Jest Chillin]

Well, you are the one who brought up diablo and a variety of other games. Fair that we can pick from that list, no?

2/3 Don't support that point though.. so it's an exception rather than a rule.

 

[EroticSushi]

You can only play the weekly strike once for the coins and rep? I completed it and now when I hover over it, it doesn't say rep 150+ or anything. Thought that would have been the best way to get the coins.

 

[Ken]

Who said marks reset every week?

the marks cap does. says it in the ingame tooltip.

so get 100 this week, cap resets next week and you get another 100

tuesday apparenty

 

[Steel]

Getting one shotted by those things at medium range gets frustrating. They're definitely powerful, though I just can't stand weapons you have to charge.

 

[MWS Natural]

Faction specific gears, shaders, class items, etc. Nothing terribly important or irreplaceable.

Oh ok thanks, thought it was something else.

 

[lustrate]

Any one want to do the heroic strikes on X1? three of us level 22+ and we could probably knock it out.
