No.
And it is easy because it is cumulative... you just can't die twice in a row that it will increase the count... I did in three or four matches..
I just completed that solo, and I'm level 24.
Okay so now there's some info abou the upcoming event, "The Queen's Wrath". What do you guys think? I was hoping for some brand new story-esque missions that were locked away in the game, but it seems it just means new bounties and new mission modifiers to the old content.
Fire me if old.
I know how you feel.
I was running with another GAFfer and someone else (could have been from GAF for all I know) and we kept getting wiped by the wizards every time (was raging pretty hard). I think the best thing to do is to just go for the kill when all of the wizards are spawned near the end. Just keep running around and shooting at him and pray you don't get flooded by wizard bombs lol.
Ok. Trying to do the 5 game control crucible. Was hoping i wasnt get fleeced because of my low level.
Every armor piece should come with a Bling stat in addition to Defense.
Some tips:
-Stay close together. easier to rez, easier to help each other.
-Save a solar weapon specifically for the wizards that appear (heavy/special weapons)
-When you enter the room, head down the stairway to the left. This area has the most cover and if you go all the way to the rocks by the cliff and shoot the boss from there, the only adds that attack you are thralls and one or two knights. (unless you shoot the adds that are ignoring you).
-When adds pop up, ignore the boss until they're dead. The adds are the real danger IMO.
This monday, I was thinking to myself "Oh, that patch must've fixed the online issues I had", but now it's friday again, and I think it's pretty clear that the problem is that the servers are simply too loaded in weekends.
If you stick to a group of PSN or XBL friends in a fireteam you can rejoin the second you're disconnected. Worked pretty well for me and my buddies today.

Yeah we have seen this. Personally I am fine with it. Would I love a little more lore and story? hell yes. Honestly those will be locked behind DLC. If they can add new modifiers and give me something to chase every now and then for free its gravy.

I know playing it regular, we didn't even bother trying to kill Phogoth until we endured the mobs. Eventually they all stop spawning except for Thrall. Takes a while, but at that point, you can just play peekaboo with Phogoth.
There is also the exploit that was mentioned.
All this except for the bolded part is exactly what we did, but the adds were just way too many and too slow to take down for any of us, and it keeps spawning a few every 2 minutes or so even if you don't damage him.
But are you sure sticking close is a good idea? Wouldn't that just mean every single enemy in the map will make a cluterfuck of beams and cannon fire to one concentrated area instead of the team kiting the horde around the map?

I'm shocked! Shocked to find repeating content in this establishment!
Not really.
I cant wait for the river of salt when AR's inevitable nerf happens.
You still have to get close with Arc Blade, too, and ARs have shut me down numerous times. As have the one-hit melee attacks of Titans and Warlocks, which Hunters don't have. Our Blink Strike and throwing knife won't be one-hitting people, though they have their place. Nothing like going in to use your super and getting shut down by a punch -.-
Nova Bomb and Fist of Havoc both give you insane defense boosts too, except you have even less time to respond against them. I've actually killed Arc Blade users, never shut down a Fist of Havoc, and the only times I've stopped a Nova Bomb were when they were already weakened beforehand.

Just bounties and skulls? How interesting are these mission modifiers?
And yeah, I never expected much until another poster in the review thread stoked my interest in something grander. So, hype deflated again. Will wait and see what the actual modifiers and missions are, but if its just modifiers for the current mission set, I think Destiny is going on the shelf for a good while.

Crazy to see the number of posts venting about gambling on an exotic engram from Xur and then having it turn out to be something for another class.
Not only is it random, but the odds are actually against you. Don't be crushed when you've effectively flushed your motes down the toilet. Statistically, that was the most likely scenario.

I agree with you, but is there anything to keep your motes for? The class item do nothing for you if you get them from the Speaker. A legendary class engram gave me the legendary cape from the Vanguard Hunter and I'm happy with that for now. (I may upgrade to the deer cape though)

Can someone explain to me at what point the game gets...fun? I'm level 13 and just finishing up Venus, feel like I'm missing something here, like I'm waiting for it to kick into that 2nd gear and it hasn't happened yet.
It's never really a loss with shared loot

I like many have been crying a lot about the the engrams getting dropped a level like all my purples becoming blues or materials. Well today the Destiny gods have been smiling upon me. I went from 0 legendary items to 3 in the past few hours. I have been farming the hell out of the Cave of Wonders and gathering a ton of greens and a good bit of blues. Not only does this give you more chances of getting Legendary drops but I have had two Rares turn in to Legendary items. It also ranks up your Cryptarch quickly who sends you a package of engrams as well. I highly recommend this plan if you have the Legendary blues. My first Legendary drop today gave me a rare. Then I got a package from the Cryptarch with two Purples and one was a Machine Gun (not my fav weapon but it was my first Legendary!) Then out of the many blues I have got today two actually upgraded to purples! I got a Pulse (what I really wanted) and some gloves/gauntlets. I guess what I am saying is your day will come! Farm the Cave of Wonders!! Come with me on PS4 Nick_or_Dawood
A slow but sure method to beat phogoth is to stand in the doorway and shoot him until that annoying floating orb spawns in there, then run back towards where u entered and wait for it and the extra enemies to despawn then go back to shooting out the doorway. Rinse, repeat until he's dead. Occasionally u gotta kill some regular add spawns but a lot of what u see are the adds that spawn because ur standing in that room and the devs obviously dont want u standing there, but then they all disappear after a moment of being out of it.

I'm a convert-- the Silvered Hushwind is an excellent AR. Though I have not run into the Shingen yet, so this may change. But damn a fully uploaded Hushwind is seriously amazing.
Also, what does Afro mean by "knocking out shields"?

I want to do the Nightfall this weekend, I was planning on looking for people tomorrow because by then I should be Level 27.
I have Fusion Rifles, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Rocket Launchers all in Arc, Solar, and Void, (minus a Void Shotgun now that I think about it). So I'm stocked for the Nightfall. Just figured it'd make a big difference if I was 27 versus 26.

I've thought it has been fun every moment, so maybe I am not the best authority here.
But for me, the real fun started when I hit 20 and started grinding for gear. Really enjoyable for me, others will disagree.
i dropped my motes on a chest and got the only one i'd consider using outside of the cheesemode instant res chest. the armamentarium has them bonus grenade count shenanigans.
kinda disappointed with how bad juju is working for me overall right now. hoping the instant reload brings it around. it's definitely not suited for pvp at all, however.

All right, I'm pretty happy with my current armor getup: level 27, all legendaries and one exotic. Should be able to get to 30 that way. :lol
Gotta get me that Gilgamesh shader though, let's hope the vendor gets a new inventory. Looks sweet:

What's the best way to farm glimmer? black wax and the temple of crota?
The one for completing the raid is legendary I believe. I really want that one, still at the final boss x.x The Blacksmith one from pre-ordering CoD is also legendary but hard to count that lol.
I'm still wondering why they took away the faction shaders that were in the alpha and beta.
i've gotten gilgamesh about 10 times from the crucible. just play some matches and youll get that, beowulf, achillies, cicero, and another that all have that blue/red/white color scheme
Yeah they need to spice up these paltry number of strikes with some variations. How about a devils lair with hive thrawls thrown in the mix? Or a summoning pitts with those big fat guys that jump?

Yeah I know a lot of people who dig that stuff. I'm not one to really care about grinding or my gear - I'm mostly just waiting to see if the missions get better, I've found them pretty boring thus far. I've only done a couple of strikes though so maybe there's some better ones to come. The game itself is pretty good I just don't feel satisfied for some reason
I bought the extoic glowing warlock gloves from Xur. Although, I may have jumped the gun though. One more mote and I could play his exotic roulette. What if I actually get a cool Warlock garb? I just wasted my monies.
Actually, it would be twice I wasted my money since this very morning I bought some legendary gloves lol.
