Wish that armors and weapons had a few more unique things about their stats, carrying more max ammo is something I flat out ignore right now, it helps on boss battles but I mainly focus on def and light, everything else can sit to one side and I get on fine.

Titans need to feel more like a tank then they currently do, our defense is little to none better then anyone else.
 
Can you do it at level 20?

No.

Don't do that to yourself.

You die very, very fast. 2 shots from a sniper or a grenade hit and your toast. I jumped into a Heroic Strike yesterday thinking i was fine after wrecking the heroic Daily quest and having no real issues with the Vanguard Strikes.

HAHAHA

Wrong.
 
Morning, DestinyGAF!

I'm up for Crucible and Strikes if anyone is interested.
PSN: namikaze1
Class: Titan
Defender for Strikes and Raids
Striker for Crucible
Level: 25
No voice chat for me for now. Been coughing all morning so I don't want you guys to hear my coughing fit.
 
So can someone clear something up for me: The PS-exclusive armour sets have to be found, right? We weren't supposed to be given them for free?
 
So motes of life only use are for vanity stuff from the speaker guy? Reading stuff about them I thought there was some sort of gear from it as well.

Also, 6 more coins needed and don't know if I will be able to make it. Going to have to try the weekly sometime.
 
Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times, but I can't find it. How do I set my fire team to joinable or public on Xbox One? This game feels so lonely at times
 
Hm, ended today with a level 23 in all blues so that's nice. Going to finish capping Vanguard marks tomorrow and hope for some nice drops.

I got lucky tonight and got two coins from blue engrams.
 
Yes, very.disappointing that there is no MM for every single event type.
I still think that's cool, personally. It forces you to look into various communities, meet people, and group up. Not all of that has to be in-game.
 
No.

Thanks man. Thought that might be the case, I'll just get on through the regular strikes today then as that sounds rough!

Is there any difference to selecting strikes by going to the planet than the Vanguard playlist?
 
Does it strike anyone here as funny that people are using the OT thread as a LFG finder because this 'social' game makes it harder than it should be to group?

It's an odd thing knowing games similar to Destiny have created, now standard, features to help group people together and Bungie completely ignores them. There's always Destiny 2 or the PC version I suppose.

They can also add it to the current game down the road. That'd be nice.

You can use motes of light also to buy exotic engrams from Xur.

Also, the tank aspect is the other skill tree on the subsclass, if you want to be the bulletsponge you need to set the appropriate subclass.

You go to your actual profile on the xbox and you go to destiny on the right hand side from there and set it from invites required to joinable. If it is joinable it will say set to require invites.

That being said mine is set to this and I haven't been matched up with anyone. It happened once on the beta and that was it!
 
1 because that's how it is, son. Suck it up.

2 because he did!

3 do you have to? I didn't think you had to

Because they are instances for up to 3 players. Get some people into your fire team. If they didn't do it this way you could go into them with more people and it would totally unbalance the game.

1. MMO, good sir^^

2. How else are you going to see Wizards from the Moon?^^

3. The darkness zones are "instance" areas so only you and your team complete the mission. If people are on your fire team they will come with you^^

Thank you all for the answers.

I didn't realize that about the fire teams. :S

I only found the Weekly Heroic Strike comfortable to do once I had a party that all had a Arc weapon modifiers for Elemental damage go both ways, thankfully) and I was Level 24 (because then you're not getting 1-shot by the likes of the Vandals.)

As for the Strikes Playlist, you get Vanguard reputation and Marks for using the Playlist on top of the Rare items.

You can use motes of light also to buy exotic engrams from Xur.
A random Exotic Engram from Xur, which could generate a guaranteed Exotic for any of the 3 classes. It's risky, and more expensive than waiting for weeking rollover to see if there's different guaranteed items available. I bought the Sunbreakers today and am now back up to 7 Strange Coins. Roll on next weekend ^_^

Yuuup. I got through it as a level 20. Exhilarating, but tremendously difficult.

Oh I know punching level 16 vex is possible, and that the shield subclass is best to be a tank with the mini overshields and such but it still sucks, maybe i'm expecting too much from this game.

I also have the choices to nearly max out the defense bar in the class tree, doesn't do squat.
 
Level 24. Not a single legendary yet. How do people find six?!

Is it from crucible matches? I've been doing a lot of strikes.

The loot is all rolls of the dice, even finding a purple is still a dice roll to actually get something useful out of it.

You can run a hard level 24 mission with someone and get nothing, you can pvp for 30 minutes and get two purples for losing both matches, the loot RNG is crap.

Got this baby from the weekly:

Good lord 78 deaths? I was done after 7 deaths lol. Knew there was no chance in hell. I'll just come back to it when I have better overall gear and have Arc damage weapons.

Yeah, took about 3 rounds from a Fallen Captain's shock rifle to kill me!
 
WTF, doing Wintership Simiks-Fel on Venus and get to the final boss, pop him with the sniper, back out for cover and the door locks and now I can't finish the mission. Shitty thing.
 
Christ.

I just did that moon strike mission. We died three times at the boss before we finally did it.

That was one insane battle.

Right after that Destiny disconnected. Lol.
 
The worse thing is Halo 2 had built-in clan lists.
Is it confirmed that legendaries drop more often from Crucible or just anecdotal?
I've had about 12 Legendary Engrams total (probably 4 from Crucible, 6 from farming Venus, and 2 from the Cryptarch), and only 2 have ended up Legendary gear; the boots I'm currently wearing and Titan gauntlets. Don't get hung up on getting the Engram, get excited when you do actually get Legendary gear.
 
How many motes of light do exotic engrams cost?
23 Motes of Light for the random Exotic Engram, 13 Strange Coins for the guaranteed class armour, 23 Strange Coins for the Exotic weapon.

The seller only appears on weekends, and is down next to the Crucible sellers in the Tower.

I should get in on the engram farming before they nerf it.

Thats my main issue at the moment. PvE is incredibly unrewarding compared to quick PvP matches. I ran into a dude with a grimoire score of 700 who was wearing 2 legendary items and had an exotic weapon. All from PvP of course. Looked to not have even touched PvE since hitting lv. 5.

And here I was, lv. 20, spent 9 hours in Story missions, 4 hours in Strikes, 4 hours in Patrols, etc. and still wearing some uncommon boots lol.

Best PvE can hope for it seems is this Raid upcoming, but of course the recommended level is 26 sooooo ... good luck getting there via PvE. You can farm Vanguard Marks and Reputation to try and get some of the gear that can be purchased with it, but that will take 30 hours atleast.

I did that for like 3 hours yesterday, and that isn't the only thing to worry about. The secret is defiantly out and the place can get packed.

Even after an hour or so of farming, you'll probably get 1 or 2 Legendary Engrams.

Guess I'm not lucky since I only got a bunch of blues.

Crucible rewards, Strike rewards (the Heroic Strike gives you a guaranteed 3), Rare Engram decryption.

Can you get them from normal strike rewards as well? Don't really have the people to the weekly strike.

And the vanguard gear costs more marks than the weekly cap lol
