So when do you guys think someone will actually beat the raid without dying. That sounds super crazy (especially with glitchy and laggy elements), but people always achieve crazy shit like that.

It'll happen once there's a solid strategy for it. I don't expect many people to get the plat for this game though. That's going to be a pretty rare trophy to get.

Impact is practically non existent so the damage is extremely low. The recoil is also incredibly hard to control without slowing down the ridiculously high fire rate. Oh and it has hardly any ammo, only a clip of 15 which is gone in no time. I spent ages working on it too :/

Damn, bummer. I got Hard Light ages ago (like right after hitting 20) and am happy with it, but I really love pulse rifles. Are there any good exotic ones?

Also, I'm not really clear on the importance of impact. I heard it's key in PvP, but I've already been winning easily in PvP so I haven't worried about it.

Don't rush, you need Xur for the quest reward.

I finished tonight and it kind of pissed me off that I can't get the quest reward or clear a bounty slot until Friday.

Yeah, you seem pretty pissed about that, lol. I don't mind too much. These bounties feel like special events we should have to work for, so I'm okay with weird requirements.
 
I just unlocked the first major range upgrade for Universal Remote

People are practically almost there, now that there's a solid speedrun strategy.

I do it for the marks and that's pretty much it, but if you don't do it on the highest level then yeah it's completely worthless. Bungie needs to fix the rewards.

I think they need to crank up the rep & marks in playlist strikes. I'm pretty sure I can outpace strikes in both marks and rep just from farming Relic Iron, which winds up being much higher when you factor in the patrol mission rep gains while I'm doing that. There should probably be a 26 strike in the playlist that rewards ~10-12 marks and ~75-100 reputation that also has potential legendary engrams & ascended materials as completion rewards.

My attitude is: accumulate marks and if I get a nice loot drop, sweet. I certainly don't depend on getting lucky. If you get enough marks you can just buy your way into high society.

Ah ok. Thanks for the reply. I guess my confusion comes from seeing people complain about the drops or awards given at the end of PvP matches. Even on this page someone is talking about how their decrypted engrams didn't amount to much. Maybe that's because pre-lvl 20 that's essentially the way the game works? In any event thanks for the advice.

I couldn't really tell you much about exotic pulse rifles since I've only got one so far, the legendary pulse rifles however are pretty good but I've switched to autos personally since I seem to be getting more kills.

As for impact in however what it affects is the amount of damage you do when not getting headshots, so unless you can get them with extreme frequency the gun becomes a bit awkward to use, especially if you like bouncing around a lot.
 
These expansions need higher level/ gear producing strikes. As it stands now, there's no content for those who can't raid because of lack of matchmaking at 26+
 
So I spent an hour farming hive kills on the moon for my exotic hand cannon. Get a pop on screen saving something like hand cannon found with the bounty's symbol, same way it pops up for completed bounties. I head back to the tower to cash in and it reads I have 0/500 kills. WTF?! Is there something I'm missing or did I just get screwed out of my gun?

No, you're just on the next step of the bounty.
 
Finally got my first legendary from an engram drop. And it came from a blue engram, weird. And it's for a chest piece for a hunter haha. Guess it picked my next class for me :)

lmao good attempts you guys, famicom, math and daramon. took us a while to get our strategy, but even when we did, lag was always there to glitch the oracles and portals whenever the boss was nearing low health. and then we can't see shit on top of it so we fall off the map when we port back. bleh
 
Is Raid gear random just like the loot in other modes? Are rewards only obtainable once?

I'm at the last boss, and all I've gotten so far is shards and a legendary rocket launcher that's worse than the one I already have..

It's random unfortunately.

I think it's high time I take my tail back to Diablo 3.
