Destiny |OT2| The Last Guardians

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.

Don't worry about the story. It's terrible, makes no sense, and is not worth thinking about.
 
So is strike matchmaking the only/best way to get vanguard marks? If so I don't think I can bring my self to keep playing just to get new gear when I only get a few marks an hour.

Daily heroic story and weekly strike (and I would assume the Raid) also grant them. I hit the weekly mark cap relatively quickly but I enjoy the strikes so that's mainly what I do.
 
Played way too much Destiny this weekend god damn. Reached level 24. Still don't have any exotics, but I have all decent rares (I think lowest armor outside of bond is a level 19), and two legendary secondary weapons in a shotgun and a fusion rifle. I also have the Shingen-e for PvP, which when combined with a shotgun is beastly. Issue with fusion rifle now is that so many people can survive the one shot. While the slide+shotgun+punch combo is still deadly when you're starting a control match in the middle base because even if there's one person there you destroy him.

The game has many issues in terms of lack of content, and while reviews are being a bit harsher than they should (I would't give it above an 80%), I can't disagree on some complaints. Still the loot whore in me is loving this.

Saving up strange coins for whenever the weekend vendor guy comes with Heart of the Praxic fire, and I already have the white and green color, then I'll buy the ultimate sun bro.

edit: also the difference in fighting the weekly strike with people above and on the level and people below is ridiculous.

Yeah strike matchmaking and the weekly/daily missions. Though I'm not sure how many times you can do the daily mission and still get marks.

PVE Bounties also. (The grey one)
Do bounties also give marks? I think they do but I think they're largely for experience.


Regardless I am 400 rep away from reaching Vanguard level 2, and I am 20 or so marks away from being able to buy the warlock bond and an armor piece (95 total between the two).
 
Really liking the game but this "story" was really underwhelming. The strikes, looting, progression and pvp aspects are mostly keeping my interests they need to hire people from bioware and flesh out a sci fi universe and really work on their storytelling for the next one.
 
I'm a little confused about something: I saw that the future war cult (the faction I'm repping) accepts crucible marks for its gear, whereas I'm looking to be a PvE player, so I mostly do strikes and earn Vanguard marks.

If I were to crucible my way to the top and get gear from Future War Cult, is that gear going to work in PvE despite being gained primarily through PvP? Or should I drop the faction and just go for vanguard gear?
 
So I just reached level 20 and I haven't even started Venus yet.

What should I do? Just finish the story and then work on Maxing out my character? Here's his stats so far:

I'm really enjoying this game. I had no hype coming into it and I only bought it to do some co-op with a mate. There seems to be a ton of negativity surrounding it but for the moment I'm digging it.

having said I have no idea wtf everyone is talking about in here. You guys seem to be talking a different language
 
anyone ever decrypted a legendary or exotic for their class ? im starting to think its impossible, the game seems to be made so we play all classes ?

I've had a lengendary titan helmet, exotic titan chest, legendary hunter boots and legendary titan bond.

Only legendary I wear are the weapons and a chest I bought.
 
Moon strike is the worst. Fuck those Wizards and Knights.

Also, I want to stick to first person in the Tower. I really dislike the third person view.

For an environment that is partially meant to strut your good stuff to the rest of the community ( look at imma swag gear ), the 3rd-person camera in the Tower really does a bad job at it because of how it's pulled back. The design of the Tower itself also makes it unsuitable for that kind of showcase.

Yeah I just decrypted a warlock bond as a warlock.

Everything I've decrypted has been for my class so far. I've been extremely lucky, sounds like.

Both a legendary and exotic chestpiece, yeah. Have had three legendaries for Titan so far, though, as Hunter lol.

Imagine Bioware level storytelling mixed with Bungie level gameplay...

The only thing stopping me from trading it in is the eb games closest to me shut 20 minutes early today.
The story sucks. And all I see is that, horribly balanced pvp or patrol missions. Such amazing content.
 
Guys what are the most balanced loadouts for PVP?

I'm using a scout rifle, a shotgun and a LMG, but I'm thinking of ditching the LMG and getting a rocket launcher...

Shingen-E and shotgun. I do ridiculously good with this combo. And I guess rocket launcher though I never bother grabbing that ammo.
 
I need 3 more coins to get something from the RE4 Merchant (if anything, HE is the darkness. He has fucking Shadow of the Colossus dark energy tendrils seeping out of his face. We should be killing him!) .

Is it at all possible to do the lvl26 version of the weekly at this level?

depends on the map and what you're good with. preference is the most important thing. i can tell you that some hand cannons are 3 shot kills but it won't mean shit if you don't know how to use it.

the weapons are really diverse in how they 'feel' and they all do a solid bit of work with enough subtlety to make you switch through a bunch of weapons in the same class to find the best fit.

either way... you're probably best having something for every kind of map and game tempo as well as PvE centered stuff.

also, if you're not making heavy ammo part of your life you're wrong

hype can be detrimental

Shingen-E is great.

Though I think the low bullet count machine gun is better in PvP than a rocket. That thing shreds through enemies easily, and could easily be used in more variety of situations than a rocket.
 
Do Titans need strength?

The titan class vendor has strength on all of its gear, and all Titans I've asked said they want strength on their characters.

But I want to be a PvE defender titan, and I've found that melee attacks are almost useless in strikes when you're taking heavy fire. Grenade cooldowns would be infinitely more useful.
