Thank you! I've been actually doing mostly level 22 strike (since i'm still 21 yo), crucible i've done a lot but i'm still dropping all those shitty level 16.
I guess i'm just THAT unlucky

Welcome to the club. Meanwhile a PSN buddy got a legendary weapon from a friggin green (!!!) engram.

 

[jaosobno]

So, according to this:

http://www.destinydb.com/vendors/3039124256-queens-emissary

I can buy loads of legendaries and rares for just glimmer? I don't have to farm anything like some "queen's favor" stuff? And where can I find this awesome merchant?

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Hey, thanks. I can't play destiny this week because I'm travelling around -_-

I will play for you bro, enjoy your travels lol.

 

[Acorn]

So I'm assuming this event starts when the weekly reset happens?

 

[Carbonox]

My guess is that it will involve a rank. Rank 3 required to buy weapons.

Could be but then this Queen stuff is only around for a short period of time. Would there be enough to do to get your rank to a required level in such a short space of time?

Will be interesting to see anyway and nice to see some additional stuff.

 

[SAiLO]

Traded this in. I can't see Bungie ever fixing this game plus lets face it i won't play it once COD: AW comes out. What a disaster of a game. Either way Activision got my money.

But... It's not broken?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Fuck My Warlock Life

3 Legendary Engrams:

1st: My 1st Exotic ever from Engram... For my level 2 Hunter LAWL!

Next 1 Deciphered... Hunter Legendary Arm...: (Titan Body from a Blue Engram)

Last one 5 Ascendant Energy

I swear to god this game is trolling me, gives me good stuff just for the wrong fucking class >_<

I think I'll be level 28+ Hunter & Titan before I am Warlock =/

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Honestly at this point I'd rather have an Exotic weapon. I've been using the same rare rifle since level 20. I'm 27 now.

Oh it's just a rocket launcher... Still using my good ol Galahad E haha

 

[CouchMaster]

I'd rather they just make it so if a spawn point gets all it's enemies killed within 10 seconds of spawning, more than 5 times in a row, it triggers the spawn point to either stop, or spawn enemies with a shield that lasts 10 seconds.

Would fix all the farming.

nofunallowedever.bat

Similar event does happen there if you stay long enough. The area gets filled with angry yellow wizards and knights and exploding zombies to the point that it takes 4-5 high lvl people to clear out everything. I've seen it happen couple of times, and I'm not talking about public event.

That's the thing, I thought this Queen thing was her offering Quests/Bounties in a timed event. Perhaps they are, and you can buy these weapons once you've fulfilled the requirements?

 

[Son of Sam]

But... It's not broken?

You're right. These were deliberate decisions and that's what is scary

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Dat vanguard rank 3 status.

 

[Yu Narukami]

It would really surprise me if Bungie let us simply buy Legendaries without any other requirement. Why would there be bounties if there were no ranks? Or you have to complete every Bounty before buying stuff.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

It's been out for two weeks...

 

[jaosobno]

So, where can we pick up this stuff? Has anyone seen any new vendors?

The thing is, most decent equipment is rares. Legendaries are mostly cosmetic stuff.

 

[bosseye]

Had a go at farming the magic cave. God that was boring. People really sit there for hours at a time? That depresses me. I gave it about 20 minutes before I had to run off and do something else. Luckily there was that massive melee going on just over the hill which was greatly entertaining.

Hit level 20 last night. I'm a bit Destiny'd out at the moment, might give it a few days off perhaps. Guess I need to start doing some daily heroics and strikes etc when I get back into it.

I'm not loving the crucible for some reason either. Its quite fun, but isn't somewhere I head to straight away but I guess I'm going to have to to continue levelling up. For some reason I'm average-good on 6v6 control, but utterly, completely hopeless at 3v3 skirmish. I guess the lower amount of players just exposes my pvp shortcomings.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Legendary scout rifle for making vanguard 3. Fuck yeah.

 

[Card Boy]

But... It's not broken?

I guess i should of said improving instead of fixing.

The funny thing was when traded it in the dude asked me why i didn't like it and i said it was repetitive and had no story, then he says the missions and playing with friends is 'the story'. I never get into video game arguments outside the internet so i just shrugged my shoulders and went on my way.

 

[hidepsyence]

Meh, i'm not even thinking about legendaries, i'm sure i'll still be in blues when destiny 2 comes out

ikr

 

[hEist]

Fuck My Warlock Life

3 Legendary Engrams:

1st: My 1st Exotic ever from Engram... For my level 2 Hunter LAWL!

btw. what about the "missions" in the inventory menu? Never saw something there or do the accepted patrol missions are displayed there? If not, any news regarding this?

 

[Marvel]

Legendary scout rifle for making vanguard 3. Fuck yeah.

Aw shit... I only just hit V Rank 2! dammit to hell.

 

[JimmyRustler]

haha, I know that feel.
But man, you'll be darn happy when you finally get a legendary drop. There is nothing like it. Felt like a little kid again yesterday evening.

 

[AusRoachman]

Aw shit... I only just hit V Rank 2! dammit to hell.

How do i even track how my vanguard rank is going ? How does it rank up ? Doing patrol missions ?

 

[Marvel]

Go to your class master person in the tower and talk to them, the rank is on the top left. Can't miss it

You rank up by doing vanguard bounties, strikes etc.

 

[The Shogun]

Just farmed treasure cave for the first time.

Got my first legendary chest piece, 8 motes of light, and 6 strange coins. Also did it with 2 friends in party chat so got lots of good socialization.

All in all I'd say a solid success. If Bungie patches this it would be a major bummer.

 

[NastyBook]

Buh-bye.

WOW, how long did you farm for ? ive been there on and off 20 mins at a time and never seen a legendary.

Cause Call of Duty advanced warfare won't be repetitive and the story will be oscar caliber right? Guess you'll be on your way to return that one two weeks later too.

 

[doomquake]

sooo boriing to be alone. tried to party up yesterday but wasnt skilled enough for heroic strike.

this week. no more mr nice guy.

 

[CouchMaster]

Legendary scout rifle for making vanguard 3. Fuck yeah.

Do you get stuff for leveling up Crucible vendor to lvl 3 as well? I'm about 100 reps away from lvl 3 and was planning to run nightfall before reset, but I might as well play some PvP instead if this is true.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Bounties give you most. +50 or +100 depending on the bounty you do. Patrol missions give you +10 each IIRC. Strikes give you +10, +12, +14 or +16 depending on the difficulty. So yeah, your best off with the daily bounties to level your vanguard (or any other faction for that matter).

 

[Tomeru]

Me and 5 clan buddies made it into the vault last night. 1 Hunter 27, 3 Worlocks 27 25 25, 2 Titans 27. Made it past the front door and made steady progress on the 2 boss. Time was not on our side, so after 4 wipes we called it a day. Was pretty awesome.

 

[spats]

There was a patch? Did they fix the magic farming cave?

 

[RazorUK]

There was a patch? Did they fix the magic farming cave?

Here is a link to the patch notes:
http://www.bungie.net/7_Update-1014---Patch-Notes/en/News/News?aid=12161

Update 1.0.1.4

Summary:
The latest patch for Destiny reduces the difficulty of a number of activities, as well as fixes issues when completing the Vault of Glass.

Missions

• Shrine of Oryx: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers
• Sword of Crota: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers
• Exclusion Zone: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers

Raids

• Dropping the relic at the end of the raid will no longer result in a team wipe. This will prevent players being stuck at a black screen after the raid.
• You will remain dead if you were dead when the mission ended. That will be addressed by a future patch.

 

[Tomeru]

There was a patch? Did they fix the magic farming cave?

No, and it deasn't really need fixing. I don't know why people have a problem with that cave. Every now and then swarms of hive and fallen show up and it's a friggin massacre.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

No, and it deasn't really need fixing. I don't know why people have a problem with that cave. Every now and then swarms of hive and fallen show up and it's a friggin massacre.

Exactly.... I mean I love that cave and I don't even go there to farm. It's brilliant for events, crazy fights and just completing bounties.

 

[Monster Zero]

There is something oxymoronic about lowering the difficulty of heroic tier, just say you found an exploit and took care of it, my lord this company is so shady with their words.

Better get on that. Even though you're already in the activity, if you pass the reset deadline you don't get rewarded. Had that happen with a daily once.

 

[bGanci]

Nothing really good Legendary wise. Only Cosmetic stuff.

 

[jiiikoo]

Has EU been patched? Because the last patch Destiny has downloaded was from last tuesday.

 

[Ravensmash]

sooo boriing to be alone. tried to party up yesterday but wasnt skilled enough for heroic strike.

this week. no more mr nice guy.

Game feels so good when you find another player willing to join up.

Heh, was doing a moon mission yesterday and saw a guy way across the map. Ended up changing path and zooming out to him before jumping off and waving.

Then he helped me/did most of the work for my quest!

Game is fun, that combat....

 

[Futaba]

So you traded in a repetitive game with no story, that you could be playing now.
For a repetitive game with no story, that you can't play for another 2 months?

I guess i'm just THAT unlucky

I tried the 24 strike last night at 22 (others were 22 and 21) and it was pretty fucking brutal. Knocking on the door of 24 now though, so I'm going to give it another go later.

Also, am I the only one that only EVER gets Venus strikes through the playlist? I haven't seen a single other one pop.

 

[Futaba]

Similar event does happen there if you stay long enough. The area gets filled with angry yellow wizards and knights and exploding zombies to the point that it takes 4-5 high lvl people to clear out everything. I've seen it happen couple of times, and I'm not talking about public event.

Skirmish can occur on any map really, I had it happen on venus and me (25 at the time) and a random passer by of level 21 were able to clean up quite easilly.

 

[blackflag]

Finally 27 going to try and find a raid group for tomorrow night or at least nightfall.

 

[doomquake]

one problem i have is people think the gear is super important. more important than actual cleverness and skill at evading and knowing where all enemies are.

 

[KeRaSh]

Got my first purple item yesterday and it even came from a blue engram. It turned into a legendary rocket launcher. Can't really complain about that!
I still need a primary weapon upgrade, though. Still rocking a Shingen-C... The only blue primary weapon I've seen so far was a pulse rifle and I felt like the Shingen-C did a better job...
