Rahool has been a fucking gentleman today. I've had 9 rare engrams and 4 of them decrypted to strange coins and the other 5 were motes of light.
And the legendary I decrypted earlier turned into a legendary pulse rifle called Strange Suspect. It seems pretty good.

Yeah, I don't even know what to do with the glimmer. One could cost 1,000 glimmer. Maybe more, as long as I could buy some materials. It's going to take forever to fully upgrade my exotic helmet, right?

Yes it is. But it is a damn good helmet my fellow guardian
God dammit. Seeing that makes me even more sad that I didn't win it during this match. It was soo close, and I won the game! I should have gotten it.

Are PvP loot rewards truly RNG? I just went 24 and 10 in TDM and got nothing. The guy with negative KD got items -_-

I think I've hit that point in Destiny where the boredom is starting to kick in. I'm a lvl 24 hunter, and have had absolutely no luck with drops/cryptarch. I had to buy my only legendary piece of gear from the Vanguard.
Since I'm maxxed out on Vanguard marks for the week, I cannot earn any any more until Tuesday to purchase more legendary armor and up my light level. I am stuck in progression purgatory. I'm not high enough level to do Nightfall strikes or the Raid, and shooting into a cave is boring as fuck. I suck at PvP just like every other PvP game I have ever played. My main playing parter (brother) has pretty much moved on from the game.
So now I'm at the point where I want to play Destiny, but don't know what to do to enjoy myself anymore. :<

OK serious question, I'm level 22 and Cryptarch level 4 (nearly 5), I've just about Crucible level 2 (love me some PvP), and have put in lots of time on the Strike playlist and farmed murder cave for hours in total.... yet to get a Legendary Engram.
Is there something I'm missing?
Help me DGAF, you're my only hope.
Edit: I got one Legendary engram from the Cryptarch, of course - it was a class item

I'm assuming you're talking about the yellow gun? I haven't seen yellow before, is that exotic? What's better, legendary or exotic?

Get luckier? The best way to get legendaries is to buy them anyway.
Exotic is rarer, can only have one exotic weapon and one exotic piece of armor equiped at a time.

Thanks mate, will peep it
I don't have an Irish bone in my body.. so my natural luck could be screwed
What type of luck do Half-Samoan/Half-Kiwi blokes get?
Fuck all by the looks *drinks another Steinlager* lol
Exotic comes after legendary. It's the rarest gear in the game. The post I quoted has a video of that particular yellow gun's beauty. And hand cannons are my favorite weapon in this game, I would've been flipping out if I had won it

? you mean on the radar? cause if so Halo had that too.
Over-all though Halo 2/3 PvP kicks the ass of this by a mile though. Can't wait to get the master chief collection

Really? Good god that's lame. No wonder some people love it.
I was thinking the same. I have 10 marks left to get this week and after that it's just farming materials for upgrade purposes. This is why I hate the cap on marks.

I don't know if I could fully go back to no double-jump, simpler times... well, I will anyway (because well... Halo), but yeah: I'm hoping Halo 5 has implemented new features and a bit more customisation like Destiny.
The customisation is what does it for me in Destiny, and the ease of movement (much like TF did, and still does).
Grats! I just ran two folks from my PSN FL through the Nightfall Strike and one of them got that weapon at completion. Looks so sweet and the stats on it, sheesh lol. I felt a little jealousy, can't lie lol. Maybe next week I'll get that sweet Suros auto rifle I want.

Movement radar has been a thing for ages now. Call of Duty shows you a bleep when people shoot and allow you to mark the whole map when you get enough kills and that's the modern equivalent now.
Radars by themselves aren't an issue. It's a staple for a while now, if you haven't noticed them then something might be off.
Ease of movement is an issue on this because kills are so quick. The quick verticality and movement makes it where you have to go with quick kill weapons or you can't stand a chance. In Halo if somebody started shooting at you, you had a chance to react.
-It senses motion and possibly shooting. Crouching/slowly crouch walking won't be sensed, like in Halo.
- Yes. Faded red indicates they're in a different level from you. Intense/bright red means they're on your same level/vertical position.

Heh, that Hand Cannon is the only piece of equipment I actually want from this game and I haven't even had a whiff of Exotics in ~30 hours of gameplay. Like to the point that getting the weapon would increase the score I'd give the game. I'm afraid I'll end up moving on before getting my hands on it.
I think the range on the radar is way too good. You can see the edge blips from a crazy distance in a game where most of the maps are shotgun heaven. Makes no sense.

Walking shouldn't equal showing up on radar. Shooting, yes. Hell, even sprinting. Not just walking.

Feels bad man. I think I'm going to take a break for a couple days and play some Diablo 3.
I finally got an exotic weapon bounty day, and Thorn was one of the options. So happy, all I've wanted since I started this game was an exotic hand cannon and soon it shall be mine.

if walking wasn't shown there'd be no point to crouching/crouch walking though. They want to tell you that if you want the element of surprise you need to think your options: fast movement and hope you get the win, or sneak to the enemy and the element of surprise. There are games without radars. Heck even Halo has gametypes without the radar (pro slayer I believe). They gave many options, which is why it's so disappointing there's no more gametypes for this game.

Well after 2 hours in Crucible trying to do the k/d spread of 25 for the shotgun bounty, I'm still at 0. I feel like this bounty is completely unachievable for people who aren't good at pvp
Why should moving be punished?! Running is disadvantageous by not having your weapon ready.
I think it does not show you when invisible (Hunter)
You're wrong. The radar shows you at all times, even when you're crouched. When you're crouched you pulse on the map rather than appear constantly.

Wait fuck really? Then shit. I thought it was like Halo. Where's the fun in that then.

Does anybody know what you get from the 25 Strikes bounty? Is it random?

I honestly hate the PvP in this game and I'm not very good at it (1.33 K/D) but I was able to get that bounty in 1.5 control matches. Control worked well since people were distracted capping points and I just played extra cautious, let your teammates go first, etc. I got pretty lucky with it but it's still possible regardless.
I just really hate how much they tie the PvE progression into requiring the PvP. It's such a downgrade after coming from TLoU multiplayer.
Tell your boss he's a stupid idiot.
Well, it's a bit harder to pinpoint enemy movement then in Halo. The postioning of the enemy is much more vague, though once you get the hang of it it's not too hard to pinpoint locations.
True. *Sigh* Hunters get all the good stuff.
Do events, Patrol Missions and Bounties. Every Vanguard rank starting with 3 gives you a guaranteed Legendary.
Easiest and fastest is on earth. The patrol missions where you need to kill a specific enemy is the best. Those gets you +25 Vanguard points in a few minutes. The same as a Vanguard Strike I think.

All I want are those amazing gunslinger animations that come with the Last Word. I couldn't care less about any other weapon or piece of gear in the game.
