Challenge accepted.

Need to shower first, will be online soon.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

The weekly strike was fun as hell, pretty difficult. The bosses were actually the easy part, it was the three waves and those shielded Captains that were rough

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Yeah I have you on my list, we played plenty in the beta.



Yes but both subclasses need to be leveled up for that, I stopped leveling up my gunslinger after 15 when I unlocked bladedancer.

Question: What do you guy prefer, more armor or more recovery?

Ahh, heh I never associated your gaf and psn, sorry.

 

[taco543]

so i was previously avoiding crucible but ive been playing it a ton lately and so far in one day got 5 strange coins 5 more and i can get the warlock gauntlets.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

So to confirm for the armor/weapons levels for the factions and regular vanguard stuff.

It's level 2 X for the armor and level 3 for the weapons right?

 

[delume]

Random strangers you assemble on a forum outside the game are magically more competent and invested than random stranges you assemble via an ingame matchmaking function because MAGIC

Thought as much. What a shame.

 

[toastyToast]

What are you guys doing for legendary engrams? I've yet to see one drop in Strike Playlists level 20.

Level 20 stuff including legendaries start to appear more consistently at 22+

yes indeed

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Group meeting trying to figure out what in the name of the Traveler actually happened during this game's story.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

yes indeed

All right thanks. I guess I now gotta figure out the fastest way to get vanguard experience. It seems to be doing regular bounties around patrol as the other method of missions takes way too long. I wonder how much do strikes and public events give.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Ahh, heh I never associated your gaf and psn, sorry.

No worries, see you online soon.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Server kicked me out when the last boss of the heroic strike had a sliver of life. Fuck me.

That wasn't posted be me :/

Thanks for the tip though.

Are those guys taking a dump on those fine pieces of furniture?

How rude.

READ MY FIC (when it's done)

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Ward of Dawn provides for some pretty clutch moments in 3v3 and the Heroic Weekly. I started a Titan just so I can use it.

The fact that you cannot shoot through it is pure BS though. I was highly upset when I found out how it worked.

 

[Futaba]

attempting to solo weekly strike

I dunno, that'd make it pretty damn OP.

Yeah, it doesn't even make sense. There's a weapon buffing version, but what's the point if you can't shoot out of it.

How the heck lol

Was replying to Ken

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

I dunno, that'd make it pretty damn OP.

Talking purely from a PvE point, you have any videos or clips of this? Maybe I should have actually tried it. I wrote it off as soon as I found out I couldn't drop the shield and allow my team to keep shooting from within my aura of awesomeness.

Yeah, it doesn't even make sense. There's a weapon buffing version, but what's the point if you can't shoot out of it.

You are supposed to pass through it to get the buff and then stay out of it?...

Not to mention I find it slightly funny that it blocks all fire but then a knight can just walk through and smack the crap out of you.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Has anyone come across firefights between the hive/fallen on the rocketyard or vex/fallen on ishtar academy where after a few kills things go bat shit crazy and both factions spawn indefinitely in huge waves? Happened twice last night, felt like every enemy on the map converged on that one spot. Pretty fun though.

 

[xkramz]

So by rarity. How does the color go?


I kno
White-common
Green uncommon
Blue-rare

So whats else is there?

 

[Steel]

Question: What do you guys prefer, more armor or more recovery?

I assume you're talking about the primary armor and recovery stats adjusted by your abilities, which also applies to pvp. For PvE it's all about recovery. It isn't too hard to hide from enemies, so getting your shields back faster is better than having your shields go down slower. However, I prefer armor for pvp, lasting longer than the other guy is very important here, and it's difficult to get away from a human controlled enemy long enough to recover anyway.

Purple - legendary
Yellow - Exotic

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

Fucksake. Just as I was getting back into it. I get stuck with a mission to kill this robot eye thing to get it's brain on Venus.

Killed it 4 times ... everytime some punk runs in and finishes it, I see them run up, run round the spawn base, then run on to the next mission. Is there anything left for me? Nope. Have to wait for it to respawn.

4 fucking times ...

Yes! Just seen that exact thing. Great for grinding

 

[xkramz]

Purple - legendary

Okay thanks

So are exotic...just exotic? Or are actually better dropa than legendary items?

Lol such a noob question sorry

 

[Steel]

They're just better. They look cool too.

 

[Darth Ghandi]

So I've switched too sun singer with my warlock and I'm wondering how other players feel about radiance.
Playing almost only PVE and I choose the build I felt would mesh best in fire teams.
What are you guys thoughts?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yes, I am. I was preferring recovery and agility on my hunter but after focusing on armor I tend to die way less. I use hand cannons and fusion rifles with the arcblade, so need that armor to get up close and survive for long.

Guess I'll switch to recovery when I play gunslinger with scout and sniper rifles.

Some of the hunter abilities seem to be in the wrong subclass imo. Why does a bladedancer who is a melee fighter need to be invisible, but a gunslinger who focuses on precision kills and uses long distance rifles can't?

 

[Wrynnax]

I really want to try that Heroic Strike that gives 3 strange coins...

You on now on ps4? Willing to try it as well! Wrynnax is the psn name

 

[Hawkian]

did my first couple strikes with the stalker ability.......

I rather like this particular game.

 

[HighOnPCP]

I love my Warlock but god damn still NO legendaries :/

Also apparently I need to play shitty more n PvP:

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Any non Halo players absolutely in love with this game? I'm smitten, really. It's amazing.

 

[Kamina]

Seriously, When i see all the aweosme Warlocks in here i really feel like abandoning my Lv20 Titan.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Dat RNG, see it is just like D3!

 

[Futaba]

Got mesh generator to 2/3 layers hacked, and got slaughtered.

Soloing weekly strike isnt happening, haha

 

[kittens]

Nope, no clips. I've seen it used to great effect especially in the heroic weekly. It really helps with revives. It also helps when the team is getting swarmed and you need a shield buff every few seconds. And you can also use it to block a certain sight line so that you can turn your back to it and focus fire elsewhere.

And the PvP applications are pretty obvious: plop it down when you want to take a control point, or to revive someone while under fire in the 3v3 lists.

 

[Ark]

In my time I've played the heck out of Halo, CoD,, Battlefield, and I'm in the same boat. I'm loving the Destiny PvP atm. Whenever I get bored of PvP I can just go do some strikes/patrol missions to change things up a bit.

 

[sploatee]

Yup. Never played fps-es to any great extent apart from Doom 1 back in the day and Wolfenstein TNO (more recently, obviously) but this has absolutely hooked me. Even the pvp - and this is coming from someone who tried for hours to like CoD MP and despised it.

Hmm...ok guess I'll switch back. Wasn't really liking the Striker anyways, just wish you could fire from inside the shield. I'll just have to make sure my fireteam actually uses the super efficiently.

 

[pringles]

The game would suck if it gave legendaries to the people who have already grinded ahead and are feasting on lower-level people. RNG is the only way to go.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Does anyone know if the Strength of the Pack trophy/achievement for completing a strike with only your clan members work with DGAF's various sub groups?

For instance, if I am DGAF, and my friends are DGAF ANZ and DGAF EU, will the trophy still pop or do we all 3 need to be in the same sub-group?

 

[Bold One]

Ohhhh

The structure of the lore/story missions makes sense once you play through the campaign from the beginning and realize the laurels are the story and the other missions are lore.

laurels?

 

[Fattony12000]

Is there an upgrade to the left of it that you have not purchased?

Bingo.

That was it.

All fixed now!

Cheers!

 

[kittens]

laurels?

The story missions have an icon similar to this: https://www.google.com/search?q=lau...a=X&ei=HhIUVOTtL4fxiwLu0IHoCA&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

 

[LastChance2Frag]

Just about to purchase destiny on my xbone, I saw that there is buy on 360 get it for next gen free upgrade deal is it as simple as buy it on my 360 go to the xbone store and it's ready to be downloaded. Secondly are your characters just stored on a server like other mmos, meaning if I play my 360 in one room I can finish up that session and go continue levelling that character on my xbone?

I know this has probably been asked before just want to be sure before I get it and thought is is the best place to ask. If it is the way I think I'm surprised there's no cross console compatibility like play with your friends on you're xbox one while they are on there xbox 360..

That.... makes so much more sense now^^ I wonder why they broke it up like that?

Don't think there's cross-platform saves. So you could play on a different 360, but not on a different x1
