Does anyone want to do the weekly nightfall strike? I'm level 27.

 

[Nebula]

Haha moaning about RNG. Glad borderlands taught me how to cope with it.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Man I still haven't beat the first Mars mission. The cabal are so annoying to fight.... And it's too hard to find a squad to do it with.

 

[todahawk]

22 in a row? How is this even possible?

See folks this is what I am talking about. This game is incredibly unfair with the way it dispenses loot. I mean come on! 22?

That is like .......... criminal!

Only good thing that came of it is I gave up on drops. I started focusing on marks and reputation. Leveled up FWC faction and bought legendary chest and boots. Saved my strange coins for the Subreaker gauntlets. Only legendary weapon i have is from getting FWC to level 3.

don't get me wrong, it's pretty damn frustrating but at least I'm finally getting some decent gear.

Borderlands taught you that RNG was interesting because you could get cool weapons with randomized properties all the time that were super sweet.

If bastion ever comes up for pvp, i will IMMEDIATELY leave from now on. That is the worst map in FPS history, its just trash garbage.

Where that one isn't that good, the moon one (something light) is my most hated.

 

[SnakeEyes]

Thanks Vire and Zero! Beat the Nightfall strikes like a boss!
My first Legendary Auto Rifile.

Haha congrats, I got a Legendary Auto Rifle out of the Nightfall too. Just been levelling it up this afternoon!

 

[IAmRandom31]

Ooo I can get 3 coins from the weekly! Anyone want to run lv 22 weekly?

 

[def sim]

I've reached my weekly vanguard mark cap and I'm ~15 short of my last legendary piece. Bummer.

At least one of my blues turned into a cool legendary chest piece. I don't have to wear the one the class mentor sells anymore.

 

[Malo]

Anyone on XB1 looking to do nightfall or the level 26 weekly strike? I'm a level 27 Titan defender.

PS4?

 

[VaultBoy101]

Wow, I just got my secondary character (Titan) to level 20 and equipped him with the rare/legendary gear that I got for that class while I was playing as a Warlock. Instant level 24, feels good.

 

[Steel]

Seriously though, I hate to repeat myself, but has anyone else had the experience of having multiple Legendary Engrams decrypt as Rares in a row?

It happened 4 times in a row now, so I am convinced it cant be just coincidence.

That's actually the common situation here. I believe there was a poll done on Reddit that said that you had about a 34% chance of getting a legendary from a legendary engram.

 

[todd360]

I eagerly await new nightfall on Tuesday. Seems like the fastest way to get something good. It is challenging though.

Yeah udontneed2know26

I was planning to do something like that but its a hassle. Im just gonna fucking tank on any large map. Doesn't seem to hurt chances of a reward. Might as well just screw around since there is no way to avoid playing these except to quit out.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

2 legendary engrams today and one yesterday. Two turned into legendary weapons, a shotgun and a rocket launcher, one turned into an exotic chest, and one turned into a junk blue. Pretty good two days.

Angry Joe's Destiny review is now up

Damn, he trashes it.

 

[Icyflamez96]

What makes Bastion so bad to you guys?

I just don't like it cause I suck at it.

 

[Bastos]

Need to run lvl 26 Weekly Strike so I can get Coins to buy my Exotic.

That's impossible to run solo, hate this Moon Strike so much. Even if I complete it I'll still have to get one more Coin, guess I won't sleep today @_@

Anybody up to it now?

Titan LVL 26 - PS4 - pest3n_

 

[todd360]

This raid boss is consuming my thoughts. Maybe I should try to find some GAF elite to join me tomorrow night.

I'm level 25, you ok with me joining?

awesome for you but makes me even more confused how I went on an 0-22 run.

 

[Bastos]

Sure, add me

 

[Twilight Gap]

What makes Bastion so bad to you guys?

I just don't like it cause I suck at it.

Its main problem is that it's too big, which means you either get sniped before you see anyone or shotgunned around a corner. But compare that to the rest of the maps which are 100% shotguns behind corners.

Yea, I'll take Bastion over Twilight Gap and Exodus Blue any day. I have a feeling the people who don't like it have shotguns in their special slot.

 

[Cynar]

10 TIMES IN A ROW!?!?!?!

WTF!?!?!?

Damn! I thought I had it bad.

Here is the thing I don't understand. I've seen videos of people on Youtube decrypt Legendarys and their ratio of Legendary vs. Rare loot is WAAAY better than mine.

Just watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsTUC3y_Sz8&feature=youtube_gdata

The guy decrypts 11 Legendary Engrams at once and he ends up getting 6 Legendary items, 5 Rares and 1 Rare crafting material.

That is like 50%. Its total BS that some people keep getting Legendarys more frequently while others get none. They need to fix the code of this game so that each time you decrypt a Legendary and get a Rare item, it increases your chances of getting a Legendary next time.

I don't think you understand what random is.

 

[dengatron]

still need one for nightfall. dengatron on ps4. you don't even really have to do anything!

 

[vypek]

I think this game could have been made 100% fine without vehicles (except for the sparrow)

 

[Afrocious]

This raid boss is consuming my thoughts. Maybe I should try to find some GAF elite to join me tomorrow night.

Yeah same.

What time were you thinking? I gotta work on Monday, but if your time is manageable, I'm down.

 

[cpp_is_king]

What's the most efficient way to farm ascendant materials? Im lucky to get one every few hours doing public events.

 

[Son of Sam]

I think this game could have been made 100% fine without vehicles (except for the sparrow)

i agree. they're annoying in PVP.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Yup. Pike is just a reskinned Sparrow and the Interceptor is a slow, clunky and dull tank that still manages to be OP even after the nerf. The two vehicle maps don't offer much interesting terrain to drive around so it all goes to waste.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Big thanks to hillsighed and stoze for helping me do the 26 weekly, they definitely carried me

Now I have my first exotic, so excited.

 

[Afrocious]

So do we know how many Raids we'll be getting before Destiny 2 comes out? I hear 8.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Angry Joe's Destiny review is now up

Damn, he trashes it.

I can't disagree with most of the stuff I've seen in the review so far.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Supposed to be one in each expansion, so that brings it up to 3. Will probably see at least 2 more afterwards.

 

[Icyflamez96]

That's a problem with PvP in general... I mean I have great fun with it and all, but everything constantly just feels like a special weapons battle. I don't think it should be that way.

I mean I destroy with them and have a good time, but I feel like it'd be a bit more interesting if the special ammo was much less frequent.

I wonder how it'd be if players didn't start off with special ammo, and if special ammo boxes weren't on the map 90% of the time.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Angry Joe's Destiny review is now up

Damn, he trashes it.

I could already tell because he had high hopes in his clan recruitment video and then it was just dead in the end of his raid video.
Just like any other he had hope for (elder scrolls online).

 

[Ken]

such a shame since i felt like bungie nailed good vehicular balance in the later halo games, but all their experiences they've learned over time isn't evident at all in this game. then again i could say the same for a lot of aspects about this game.

 

[Menome]

Yea, I'll take Bastion over Twilight Gap and Exodus Blue any day. I have a feeling the people who don't like it have shotguns in their special slot.

I'm a shotgun-user for PvP and Bastion is my favourite map, probably because it does force me to have to switch between that and my assault-rifle on a constant basis to remain effective.

Well it'd just be ARs, except on the larger maps where it'd be Scout Rifles.

If we take out supers too, maybe it'd be interesting. But you still have people with OHK melees and you're limiting the tools I have to counter it at that point. Take out the class abilities.... and you'll just end up with a watered down FPS with 5 different deathmatch gametypes.

 

[todahawk]

Bungie's version of random sucks

 

[CREMSteve]

Made it to the final boss in the Raid, but we couldn't beat him. Good lord, what a ridiculous fight, lol.

 

[The Librarian]

I can't disagree with most of the stuff I've seen in the review so far.

Stopped watching when he misused the five-hundred million figure.

 

[vypek]

Worst losing streak in crucible. Time to pack it up I think. Think I'm probably done now. I knew I didn't like the PvP and tried to give it a try but I don't know what else is left. I think I'm done with PvE (only grinding is left) and I can't do strikes. Might have to come back to this game in a few months if the community hasn't dried up by then.

pretty sure it'll dry up well before then

Better go the rep route than RNG, it's 100% guaranteed

 

[NCR Redslayer]

A problem i have with him is that he usually jumps to conclusions. Specifically that the cutscene with the queen was just added to hint at paid dlc(which is actually just new bounties). I still like most of his coherent thoughts though.

 

[IAmRandom31]

PS4?

Badass dude thanks. Got the last coins I needed for the exotic rocket launcher. Ohhhhh yeah
