Are you guys doing Vanguard Rep first, or leveling up the faction rep?

Also, how are you guys getting your hands on light gear so quickly?
Click to expand...

Light from crucible and joined dead orbit, faster way to be higher level in my opinion. Faction armors have ton of light plus power you up specially you want.
 
Are some achievements not popping for anyone else? My cryptafch is lvl 6 so I know I id'd more than 25 things, and I bought an exotic and have it equipped but I don't have either of them.
 
My Warlock at the moment. Capped out on discipline and gonna play some PVP with it. With Radiance I can get like 7 grenades out now. I like that for once, the gear matches without the use of shaders.

Sorry for the onslaught of nooby questions, but are there any PvE-focused Defender (Protective Bubble super) Titans in here? What stats do you feel are the most valuable? I've started on the New Monarchy, but I'm beginning to think grenade recharges are more useful than the melee bonus.
 
I just hit 20, did some strikes(got a hat!) But I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing really?

Like is there an actual thing to do or do i just queue up for level 20 strikes and hope I get things?

I got+5 light from my hat..
I'm not sure if I should keep getting vanguard rep or switch to a different faction or how I do daily/weeklies(I've only been queuing for the random level 20s)

At lvl 20 after doing the story the goal is to get better loot which you get randomly via drops in PVE areas (patrols, missions and stikes) or in the rewards screens after strikes and PVP matches. Just keep queuing and praying to the RNG.
 
What level is the vault supposed to be?

How do you feel about Blink instead of double jump? It's my next unlock and I'm almost there.
Click to expand...
Blink is really weird. You'll understand when you use it. It needs adjusting, as when double jumping, you can basically shift your momentum. With blink, you can't. You have to time your jump a certain way if you want to move upwards, otherwise your hunter will blink right toward the ground. It's really good for disorienting your opponents in pvp, though.
 
Ah, I wasn't aware that the raids don't open until Tuesday. Thanks.

I've tried one strike. It was myself and another player. We were both level 9, I think, and it was a level 8 one, but we got our asses kicked. It spammed us with enemies.
 
Question to make sure I'm not missing something in the story.

Sill on Old Russia, though did just do a bunch of patrols (all of which were either, go here and kill these guys are go here and scan this thing). But on one of the last missions, we ran into some Hive, which are apparently really bad. Dinklage intoned they had not been on Earth in hundreds of years, and we should inform the Speaker. It sounded really important. But I have no idea why; was kinda hoping the Speaker would tell me why.

Then we went to orbit. No Speaker cut scene. I still don't know who the Hive are or why it's bad that they are here, or what it means. We just move on to the next mission, which seems unrelated. Did I miss something?

Nope, that is how basically every mildly curious story thread concludes, you missed nothing. Dinklage says some stuff and then you go to the next planet. Essentially when you leave a planet, you are basically abandoning every story thread that was present on that planet too. The Grimoire cards might have something more, but I am unsure.
 
At any point can you change the colour of the armour you get? I had a really nice white and red set going on my Titan but then a substantial chest upgrade dropped. Only problem is it's yellow and completely ruins the look of my character.
 
Reading through this thread and seems like there's a lot of stuff I'm clueless about. Are most of you level 20+?

I'm guessing the first part of the game is just playing through story mode and strike missions until you hit 20 and then things will start to make sense? Even going through the tower and seeing a few areas that sell stuff limited to level 20 is confusing lol.

So what are some of the things you can do right from the get go once you hit lvl 20 anyway?
Click to expand...

- Reach Crucible mark weekly cap
- Reach Vanguard mark weekly cap
- Buy cloak/band of Future War Cult/Dead Orbit/New Monarchy to farm their rep.
- Run Vanguard Strike Playlist or Crucible to farm random gear drops.
 
So I was doing a hard level 24 strike with two other Gaffers and we were all a bit under leveled for it, all at 22. It was Dust Palace, pretty easy strike save for the last three Psion bosses, they are tough. We were closing in on an hour, nearly finished, but just could not kill the final Psion, we didn't damage him fast enough. Enemies kept spawning in, delaying us even further. Finally we had a moment to breath and try and do some damage to the Psion. Still though, it wasn't working fast enough. Thankfully the Psion ventured onto the ledge close to me, my super ready, and I did this:

God damn were we happy. We watched that bastard boss fall to his grave and had a celebratory dance off. Moments like that are what make the game really fun. We had struggled for an hour and were really getting sloppy and that happened and made the whole thing worth while.
 
Just beat the story with my friend... Yesh... That was a piss poor ending. Though I LOVED. LOVED the final mission location. Just drop dead gorgeous. Hopefully this ending is just a start for the REAL destiny story.

At the end of my last mission - number four or five on Earth - the Ghost had a line that seemed important, like we'd found something (again). But there was again no follow up.

I'm honestly baffled. There's poor story telling, and there's no story telling. This is basically the latter.

Also, I want to stick to first person in the Tower. I really dislike the third person view.
 
Thanks for the group spritzo and EroticSushi!
 
I am loving the game Bungie created, but I am so happy the game is getting average reviews. I really hope the temped response forces them to fix a lot of the social issues. I want a in-game clans, voice chat in the crucible, and a overall connected experience. This game is so good, but they have made it such a pain in the ass to play with one another. Really interested to see how they respond to the community feedback and how quickly they react.

I remember in one of the dev diarys one of the comments was " people won't understand destiny's mysteries and there will be questions posed on the player"

They really went out of their way to do that to the point nothing makes sense.

Who are the fallen?

What is the darkness?

What are Exos? The Awoken?

Fucking nothing.

I decided to just give up playing the story and have resigned myself to strikes and crucibles.
