I feel like the cave has been nerfed. I'm getting 3-5 drops per 10 mins

 

[AusRoachman]

As someone who's level 22 and over 24 hrs played who has still never seen a legendary item the queen using glimmer is a godsend.

Here is hoping it offers something good

 

[doomquake]

so...what are those Ascendants of Oryx or whatever doing in the Ship with some sort of satellites or something. And teleporters?

 

[Futaba]

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.

Playing with:
- Choke points
- Aggression proximity triggering
- Collision volumes
- Enemy projectile dip
- Crowd herding for super/grenade
- Ammo management
- Critical-damage hitboxes

All make for a much more enjoyable game.

That's just RNG being RNG.

 

[blackflag]

I feel like the cave has been merged. I'm getting 3-5 drops per 10 mins

Probably bad luck. I went earlier today and got no drops in like 10 min and left thinking it was nerfed. I came back in my vita later tonight and I was rolling in blues.

 

[Key2001]

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.

I agree. I am not much of a PVP person and avoid it when I can, which leaves very few options once I hit the weekly Vanguard Mark cap to gain upgraded gear. I haven't seen any reason to continue doing Vanguard strikes once you get the mark cap. The time it takes to beat a strike versus the crappy rewards isn't worth it and you're better off doing bounties and patrols for rep.

Also unlike with PVP having the choice of four factions with different combination of stats, you are stuck with one faction with a limited choice of stat combinations with PVE.

It's just rare weapons and some legendary class items

Quen stuff will be live with the refresh in 30 minutes yeah?

It is important if you want to play raids but can't obtain gear that will allow you to do so.

I have 3 level 20 characters and only one piece of legendary gear. It doesn't have enough light to even get me to 21.

Did about 3-5 strikes and for 2 blue engrams that have me green gear.

im sick and tired of playing with a person..well, 6 out of 10 times, who proceeds to just run into mobs like he is a level 20 in old russia. IT DOESNT WORK THAT WAY IN HEROIC RAIDS FFS...not even on a lot of missions on Hard. STOP IT.

Guarding the access to Bunker SA-2, and beyond it, the Seraphim vault.

You can access both, as well as Jovian complex, using glitches, and clever use of jumping to get into Kings Watch.

yeah i understand that you need to level to unlock access to content, but i mean things like "oh this is too hard i need better gear bye"

 

[Kamina]

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.

If you are comparing Destiny to Call of Duty you really didn't understand this game.

 

[Twilight Gap]

so glad i have 17k glimmer. my wallet is ready for the queen

[dallow_bg]

Gunsmith had blue fusion rifles the day before I got the Bounty that uses them. Ugh.
Hate to pay 3000 with the Queen's person.

You're not even getting Rare armor with Light?

Nope. Been stuck on 20 for a while now...

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Finally got my Bad Juju.

I look forward to its eventual buff.

Can still die if you rush into a mob at level 20 on Old Russia if you aren't careful lol. This game is too much FPS, not enough RPG.

 

[doomquake]

did we already whine about how

"Over the weekend, Destiny featured a Combined Arms playlist in the Crucible, giving PvP fans a taste of "all out war on a massive scale" with vehicular combat."

The Combined Arms event was simply team deathmatch (6v6 as usual) on the 2 maps with vehicles minus the capture points. No massive scale..No vehicular combat. You know whateveryone did since they didnt HAVE to run to capture points? they sniped. for like 7 games i played that weekend.

I really dont want this type of shit to continue - marketing phrases to please everyone but that dont actually mean what you assume it means.

 

[Kamina]

So I was farming today, only getting legendaries that turned to blues. Then I decided to do bounties instead during which i got an engram that turned into this, just with lesser damage:

 

[Mutagenic]

Boy it sure is fun when the opponent has high intellect and gets to use their super constantly. Very fair.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Got my first Legendary engram today after 35 hours playing. Of course it was nothing.

 

[Seil]

yeah i understand that you need to level to unlock access to content, but i mean things like "oh this is too hard i need better gear bye"

Well I mean, there does appear to be a fairly noticeable handicap when you're under a target's level. Though there's barely any buff when you're overleveled lol. Being 2-3 levels under content can make you less effective.

Now, that doesn't mean you're useless when underleveled, and sure people can pull it off, especially in weekly stuff where a damage type gets a boost which helps compensate(and where even appropriate levels will die easily), but for someone average or below average, having the gear to be appropriately leveled will make a difference.

Hell, there were times when doing the story where we went on increased difficulty modes and the other people, underleveled for that version(by ~2-3 levels) but not bad at the game, practically had to be carried due to insignificant damage and being absolutely shredded x.x

 

[Zakalwe]

Level 26 Titan Defender (maxed) on ps4 looking for a raid group. Finally ready to give it a shot.

All legendary/exotic aside for rare gauntlets.

I'm not bothered about group experience as long as you're committed and ready to learn the required tactics. I'd quite like to go in blind and figure it out ourselves, but wiling to run with an experienced group too. Just want to play it at this point.

its very challenging i admit. but its really fun. id rather people say "oh man i cant handle this right now" or "lets try an easier difficulty" not blame it on gear

did that already happen? totally missed that event lol

 

[Kamina]

They should remove that too, just like Armor Rating and Weapon Damage are not counting in PvP.
I played Zones the other day when i met a Titan that just dominated one zone all the time because he could get his super much faster than anything i have ever seen.

 

[doomquake]

Got my first Legendary engram today after 35 hours playing. Of course it was nothing.

ive had about 4 legendary engrams after playing the story and crucible on one character. no farming. 2 were legendaries for different classes other 2 were ok blues that I probably recycled. Still no legendaries but now I have a new titan and hunter that i dont want to level..

This is what bothers me. It's the worst part of RPGs combined with FPSes. Like, I never feel so overleveled that I can't be stopped, but being underleveled has a definite, obvious disadvantage. I tried out Hard mode on Mars when I was underleveled a bit and ran into the exact scenario you were talking about--I couldn't inflict enough damage so my teammates had to keep me from getting obliterated. >_<

 

[minx]

So will there be a new weekly strike in 10 min? If so anyone on XB1 want to do it?

Vault of Glass is ending in 10 minutes though.

I'm eager to see what the new Raid will be like.

 

[Seil]

Fun to you doesn't equate to fun for everyone, though. Some people don't want to slog around shooting at things with a 20% or larger damage reduction just because they're not geared for that content lol. Much like you think they should change, they probably don't agree with your viewpoint =p

The game *is* designed to deter people from doing content they aren't high enough for, and when it initially gives you access around 3 levels early, it's going to try to bash your head in purely because of the handicaps. Some people like to push stuff like that, others do not.

There's no new raid.

The VoG just resets each week, like in an mmo.

New raids will come with the DLC packs.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

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.

Unsure.

 

[Lakitu]

So, they are closing the raid? Why?

whats the recommended level for the daily heroic strike?

Yes. I hit crucible rank 3 today and got a shitty legendary pulse rifle. I hate pulse rifles and I already have the Bad Juju, unfortunately. You might get something better, though. Pray to RNGesus etc.

 

[doomquake]

So, they are closing the raid? Why?

i think they think this is a cool way of making it seem there is NEW content everytime someone logins. But I am starting to get annoyed by this on off daily events that you have to plan ahead for. Is it some sort of social experiment?

 

[Zakalwe]

So, they are closing the raid? Why?

How you came to this conclusion? :3

 

[SlenderBeans]

So, they are closing the raid? Why?

They aren't closing it. The raid just resets every week.

 

[hidepsyence]

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.

That's what i'm afraid of, i don't like wasting time on something that i'm probably not ready for, i guess i'll stick with lvl 22 until Odin or someone will decide to give me at least a good blue, my helmet has +2 light and i still have the weapon from the last story mission ffs

 

[Klyka]

Vault of Glass is ending in 10 minutes though.

Haha, oh man you really misunderstood that one.

The raid just resets once every week. We ain't getting a new raid till December.

 

[tokyostomp]

I didn't do horrible for my first Crucible match?!
I'm usually shit at PVP.

Also got Triple Play trophy!

Congratulate me!

Anyone else going to the 30th Anniversary Naughty Dog Art Gallery thing in Alhambra?

 

[KeRaSh]

Is there some info about the Queen's weapons floating around? I'd like to see the stats of the assault rifle she's selling.

/edit: nvm.. it only starts now...
