I never even knew that 'Treasure Cave' thing was real. I thought it was a myth.

Until I saw 2 players shooting at low level enemies and I joined the spree.

Bungie fix incoming in 3..2..1.
 
Notice the Raid is now up on my Venus map but it's locked? Need Battle Gear. Where or what is this nonsense now?

Why can't I just play it without them telling me I'm not good enough? Let me decide that please.

What are level requirements. What are gear checks. What is locked content till a certain goal is met.

What are video gaemes.
 
Hi guys,

Got a couple of questions.

1. What's better for a Warlock? Sunsinger or Voidwalker? Or what's each is better used for? I don't mind going and leveling up my Sunsinger because I just maxed out the Voidwalker. I'm a Warlock level 25

2. Raids and Strikes. Can I leave and come back where I started? Sometimes I can't be just glued to the TV for hours without the possibility of eating/smoking/drinking/living

QFNP
 
I get disconnected about once or twice a day. Is that normal? Tough for me to gauge since my internet in general has been shitty lately.
 
My first legendary item, the comedian shotgun. Good times ahead. I wasn't aware you could only equip one exotic item at a time.
One more level and I can hop into the Vault of Glass. I will being doing strike playlists for items. Hit me up at CedricKnave.

there's ways they can fix all loot caves and spawns by adjusting the drops but I doubt they will do it and just nerf something to the point of making it worse.

what needs to happen with loot is this:

-remove purple drops from all regular mobs
-dial down blue drops by regular mobs
-make raid and strike bosses drop blues and purples at around 20%
-give each boss some unique drops from them only
-make purples 50% chance to be purple instead of the rather low 20% it is now

this will cut down cave farming a fair bit and give valid reason to run strikes.

Agreed.

I do not see the reason as to why I should do strikes since farming is way more effective. They basically neutered their own endgame in that regard.
 

Raids are checkpointed. Strikes aren't but they're only like 20-30 minute things.

Sunsinger are more support role so you won't get any super flashy or bursts nukes like Nova Bomb but you can still do decent damage. They have a few nifty tools like Solar Grenades to block off points and a self-res though so they definitely fill a niche.
 
Are there any PS4 raid groups, EU preferred, going into the vault of glass tonight? Like, after 8-9pm GMT?

I would really finally like to see this raid for myself. I'm lvl 26 Hunter and my PSN is Klyka1

Also lvl 26 Hunter from EU and would like to try it as well. Can't this evening/night though.
 
I spent hours upon hours farming at that cave. I got jack shit but rare armor and some coins. I am not a believer.
due to the RNG its up in the air what you get, I've spent 20 mins there before and got 3 purple engrams, two in the first 5 minutes.

other times I got 4 blues in about 45 minutes.

The only reason someone should do it is to level up your sub-class. I've done the cave for a total of 3 hours? maybe? I got few legendary engrams but nothing really that I'm used came from the cave. I got 3 exotic items and 2 legendary and none of them came from the cave. So it's better if you just do strikes and other stuff. That's from my humble experience in the game

I'll try to level up my sunsinger then, but need to get used to it. I already suck at the game and my aiming is shit shit shit :(
 
You talking about that one particular chest or every chest? There were two chests before that point where everybody only got shards. Then at that one point everyone suddenly gets legendaries and i still get shards.... Im still pretty salty about it.

In the gorgons layer, the chest to the left where you jump up the rocks. That's the chest that always ends up dropping exotics and class items.
 
Man Oh man, that level 22 moon strike with no Respawns is too rough trying to get through that door

What's with enemies corpse camping your body
 
Btw I'm a 27 soon to be 28 sunsinger. I've downed the boss twice on two different characters so if you need tips/tricks or need another player tomorrow afternoon PST I'm glad to help out.
 
Been stuck on 27 for a little while now. Blah

On the bright side I grinded through 25 strikes and managed to speak to that guy who is only available on weekends. Now to get the 10,000 points... God I hate PvP in this game. It's just awful.

Why do you think it's awful?
 
I think i missed Weekend Guy.... just cobbled together enough Coins and Motes... was ready to spend, but poof, he was gone!

So sad, I may have to go to Missed Connections on Craigslist
 
It sure says something about your game when people would rather sit outside a cave and shoot the same two enemies for an hour rather than play a mission. There are just so many counter-intuitive decisions made with absolutely no reasonable justification. Require online connections so you can see other players, but interact with them in no meaningful way. Waste precious engrams on items for classes you aren't playing, yet allow no trading or gifting. Make purple engrams extremely rare, yet make a legendary yield unlikely. A blending of genres is supposed to take the best of other genres. You can blame the community for not emphasizing Vanguard/Crucible/Faction reputation, but I'd put the responsibility on Bungie for not properly incentivizing it.

Yo urk, deej, you guys reading this shit? Can you guys comment on some of these points? Are they being adressed in a freaking update or anything?

COMMUNICATE BUNGIE PLS. Give us more freaking OPTIONS.
 
Got two Legendary Tokens or whatever they are from getting the Cryptarch upto lvl 3 then 4. First one went from legendary to two blue which then went to one green and one blue. The second Legendary went down to two blue but I did get a good rare Helmet and a so-so weapon. Really wish you were specifically rewarded with a legendary when you get the Cryptarch levelled up and not some random shit.
 

What does that stand for?

Re Sunsinger / Voidwalker:

I switch between the two a lot. My Voidwalker is set to speed and toughness and with blink (good for strikes and Pvp because of the nova bomb). My Sunsinger is just speed speed speed with glide and angel of light. Both are great for different purposes. Don't listen to the blink hate! It's handy when you need to get out of a situation quickly.
 
Ok, I've reached level 20 and I've done some stuff. Since the OT is still active I'm not going to make a new thread. Haven't looked for a guide or that kind of stuff, should I?

First of all, I tried to do the Daily Heroic Story Mission alone. Maybe I had bad luck, since I got one of the most bullshity levels if you go solo. It's the one on Venus where you have to kill one of those Fallen Bosses on his ship.

In the end, I've finished but I died quite a lot. Most of those deaths were due to bullet sponges running at me and killing me with a melee attack (the game loves to throw you a bunch of melee only monsters from time to time and in this level there were a bunch of times when they were Elites). When available I used the rocketlauncher and aimed at their feet, but sometimes I wasn't all that lucky.

Maybe with better equipment things will change. And I'm 100% sure in most story missions I'm not going to have those problems. That's the level with most "cheap death" moments AFAIK. Maybe my weapon selection wasn't the best posible for soloing (Pulse Rifle / Sniper / Rocketlauncher). Maybe I need to "get gud". I don't play FPSs all that much, all things considered.

I've tried some PvP too. Most of the time I use a Scout Rifle / Shotgun or Fusion Rifle / Rocketlauncher. I've done some Control and Skirmish matches so far (the former due to a Bounty I took a while ago). I think I like the latter a lot more, 3v3 is cool and there is more teamwork and stuff.

I mostly have green items with 2 blue ones (Chest with +5 light and Gauntlets with +0 light), the best I can do to get better equipment is Crucible + Strikes, right?
 
This scout rifle I got out of an engram seems better for PvE than my Multi-Tool. Has the chance to return ammo to mag on kill, the Field Scout perk (one of the best weapon perks IMO) and the one that causes enemies to explode if they die to a crit.

Had a bunch of luck with engrams in the past ~10 hours or so, but I still can't find a purple helm. Should be pretty easy to hit 28 once I get a helm and a few more shards. Then I just need to get some more solid special/heavy weaponry going.
 
I just realized tonight that you can actually mess with your Guardian through the website. Like you can change your equipment, traits, emblem, etc.
