When is the reset for the 100 Vanguard points?

It literally just happened


Btw, regarding the Queen stuff, it says "new bounties are available" but it also says "And challenging missions await those who prove themselves". So....maybe higher rank unlocks stuff? We might be judging this book early by it's cover.
 
LOL

the queen is her own fucking faction

RESTART THE GRIND

This fucking game man.

"Here is another faction for you to grind, in case you haven't got bored yet doing the same thing for 5 other factions yet."

Bungie pls.

GOFP, Game of False Promises.
 
So I guess it's now safe to assume that all of the free content Bungie dishes out is gonna be rehashed garbage and all of the genuinely new, awesome content will be locked behind DLC.

GG Activision.
 
Well, fuck you Bungie! Really...fuck you.

I've been playing this game for more than 30 hours. Hit lvl. 20 last week and slowly crawled to lvl. 24 this last 4 or 5 days.

Until today I had not seen a single purple engram or weapon/gear or legendary.

After all this time, more than 30 hours I have only stupid blue items.

So today I decided to farm the fucking cave for the first time for about 4 or 5 hours.

I managed to get 2 purple engrams from drops, and more 2 for leveling the cryptarch, and guess what? Not a single purple weapon or armor dropped. I got 2 blue items, 1 material and a fucking green item...A FUCKING LOW LEVEL GREEN ITEM!!! HOW IS THIS SHIT POSSIBLE? FROM A FUCKING PURPLE ENGRAM!!!

I guess I'll take a few days away from this game and think about if I'll ever come back.

Loot in Destiny is launch Diablo 3 levels of bad. Actually it's worse. "Bu bu bu Destiny isn't a loot game!". Well then don't make character progression tied to your fucking gear!!!

I'm so pissed right now.

This tweet makes perfect sense now. Bungie was hoping that reviewers would be too busy grinding and never review the game at all.

Your ruse failed Bungie! Trap Hole was cast from the very instant!

Edit-The Queens ship isn't even solid...I can jump right through it!
 
It still says i already earned all vanguard points this week, the circle is still full.

Restart the game. It did this to me last week too(except it was cool because I got a couple raid loot points, restarted and got them again for the week proper. too bad it was just mats x.x)
 
People, don't sell your materials. You will need them for upgrading Legendary/Exotic gear. The return you get on 50 units is nowhere near worth the time.

mass effect 3 mp literally better at community stuff than destiny lol

this is hilarious

ME3 Mp had the single worst RNG unlock system in galactic history, though. As great as the actual game was...

Take a deep breath. Buy stuff from vanguard/ crucible vendors. Don't count on engrams, if you get lucky - great. Again, buy all the legendary stuff.

This kind of stuff is making me feel really shitty about defending Destiny so often.

Why do the player seem to care more about this game than the devs?

You can totally sell your materials for rep. tons of people do it. farming them takes miniscule amount of time and you never need more than like 60 or so to fully upgrade an item.

I have like 300 relic iron, my friend has over 600.
 
... dat Activi$ion!

So ... back to the Cave it is! Or can you actually buy new items this time? I'm tired of going to the Cryptard and get a green item from a Legendary Engram.

I've played for 60 hours and I'm level 26.
 
wtf, another faction? Are there even any new missions?


BTW I've played 30 hours and I've seen no Legendary engrams at all so I feel your pain JJD, personally I'm trying to be zen about it. I've sworn off farming and grinding for hours on end, I'll play a couple of hours here and there until I get enough vanguard marks & rep to buy my way past 24.
 
Well of you noticed there is a Queen logo above the Daily on the planet map. It's just not available. Maybe you need to prove yourself first.

that's what i said! but don't expect story.

ANYTHING that has to do with story/cutscenes involves a larger budget and will therefore be DLC
 
"Bu bu bu Destiny isn't a loot game!". Well then don't make character progression tied to your fucking gear!!!

The argument that 'Destiny is about gameplay, not loot' that I've seen even on GAF is hiliarious when the most important piece of info you'll see of your character or anyone else's character as a GIGANTIC number on the screen all the time is the level of your gear.

Sorry you're mad, but I stopped playing that game after I kept getting nathan for all my troubles. Switched it up, got on with a Faction, started hitting the bounty board, and I got rewarded. Legendary Gear with good light levels. Decided to level that shit up in Crucible, got a Thunderlord in the process.

Start working on your bounties, both Crucible and Vanguard. It may be a chore, but at least you know WYSIWYG when it comes to the gear you'll unlock.
 
Don't worry you will get your 2 new missions in December for 15 bucks.

Haha exactly. This pretty much decided for me that I'm not gonna buy any DLC for this game. I'll wait for Destiny 2 if Bungie gets their shit together, and even then I'll wait for the reviews on that.

I did it once and got such a minute amount of rep that it seemed utterly pointless. I guess if you're doing it to supplement stuff, if you focus on it and actually material gather of this specifically surely it's a waste of time?

So the entire game would be fixed with a little UI tweak?
 
I've just got burned of PvP after I wasted like 10 minutes on a game that was 6v3 (other 3 guys left). I don't get how this can happen. There should be a timer for those cases. If new people hasn't filled the remaining slots in, let's say, one minute, the game should end.

I remember this was what happened in WoW battlegrounds when too many people left one of the groups.

On the other side, what do you people do to get Vanguard Marks? There is the daily story mission, the weekly strike, and those strike lists, right? What are the strike lists exactly, if somebody could enlighten me?

Is there some reputation that I should farm ASAP if I'm a Hunter? Right now I'm just going with the normal ones (Vanguard and Crucible, but I've gotten some of those class items that convert the reputation I get to a certain faction)
 
The hell ...

How do you even level up your Vanguard reputation? I though playing PvP and regular missions/strikes did that. I'm still stuck at level 1. Jesus.
