I don't think anyone has said they have gotten anything but helm or chest from the Queen's Wrath mission. Probably limited to those two slots for now.

Seriously? Well that sucks for me, the only two slots that aren't blue for me are chest and helm...

Dumb question time. I just hit level 20. Do I need legendary gear to level up further? How do I gather "light" or whatever I'm supposed to get to level up more? I'm still turning up bounties, am I wasting my time?

Check the OP for the new to level 20 guide.
 
I actually kind of like the Hand Cannon and Scout Rifle PvP bounties up right now since almost everyone is using those right now there. Slows the pace of the gunplay down a bit to what I feel is a much more balanced level than normal, and that's coming from someone who uses an AR.

Also thank God I got this exotic Scout Rifle last night from doing the Nightfall. I think it may have turned me around a bit on using Scout Rifles in general, it's pretty goddamn awesome and I don't even have most of the upgrades yet.

what is needed for the Exotic bounty with the 25 K/D requirement?

Your spread over as many games as it takes needs to be +25.

For instance, if you go 15-10 the first game, that's +5, the next game you go 12-5, that's now +12, and th next game you go 9-10, now you're down to +11.

You need to make a spread of +25.
 
I'm just sitting here, loading Queen's Wrath missions over and over until I can get the "kill the Kell" one and do a 2 birds with one stone kind of deal.

Wish we could just pick from the list of available missions (or at least see them).
 
We only wiped once, its just really damn tedious. With proper coordination and gear Nightfall shouldn't too hard, but a really god damn boring slog.
i don't agree, but that is alright. doing the summoning pits nightfall was some of the most fun I have had with destiny so far and that isn't one of my favorite strikes.
If you want you can just load it up and see if you get the Cosmodrome mission to kill Riksis (Restoration). If you don't you can go back to orbit and try again without using your ticket (I think these are only consumed upon mission completion when it gives you an item). That mission is easy to solo; it's always Arc Burn it seems, but there is only one room of dudes to fight and the boss Archon.
I'll probably just go for whatever I get and try to beat it :>
Nah I think there's one (legendary) from the raid with void. Luck of the draw though.
As far as I know, the only elemental primaries are legendaries from raid rewards. There are no exotic primaries with elemental damage.
As far as I know the only elemental primaries in the game are the legendary guns you can get from completing the raid.
Atheon drops legendary primaries with elemental damage. Two of my team have one. One has a void assault, the other solar.
ah I gotcha, thanks for the correction!

I believe Fate of All Fools does solar damage. Perhaps it is the only one.
 
This scout rifle bounty and killing 20 Guardians with with headshots is going to take me ages, the scout rifle is absolutely useless in PVP.

This is sad, because it was good in the Beta even though the AR's were even better then too. I don't know why Bungie nerfed the Scout Rifles at all.
 
1 chest, 3 helmets. Broke them all down for shards. Almost hit 29.

I'm really disappointed this is what the Queens wrath is. I knew it would be bounties. But absolutely no new content in any form of game mode etc is disappointing. I thought we might actually be getting some missions in the reef. Or maybe a little more story exposition. Boy am I naive. Anyway you complete a bounty, get a queens mission, which is a modified mission you've already played countless times. It's stupidly easy (only lvl 24 option, no harder for better loot etc.) They always give legendaries that are equivalent to what the vendors give that people had to work at getting over time with farming/marks/rep. They should of been a step below what you can get for crucible or vanguard marks to make it easier. This is kind of just a slap in the face in multiple ways. Oh well, at least it will mean I can start doing the raid on heroic this week.

Are you kidding me? Wow this blows. I got Vanguard to Rank 3 and folks can do these bounties to get the equivalent of the gear you can buy from the vendors? That's nuts. On the flip side, this is just a temporary event so folks will have to go back to the old grind (which itself needs reworking.)
 
Just got a Legendary Chest Armor from a Queen's Wrath mission.

I think I got really lucky there, the mission I got was the very first story mission. So basically: clear one single room of dudes, and mission done.

I still died 5 times or so. I'm a bit underleveled for these quests apparently :p.

Is it true that the Queen's Quests only give chest armor and helmets?
 
I believe Fate of All Fools does solar damage. Perhaps it is the only one.

Woah I didn't know that. I looked at Destiny database and it seems you're correct. I haven't seen that gun in game yet though. Is that a gun you can receive from an exotic bounty?
 
Guys for the nightfall do you think not jumping off the ledge to shoot the giant hydra would be a viable strategy? (One person would jump down to activate the hydra and then hide on top of that pillar. Preferably a defender Titan.)
 
As far as I know the only elemental primaries in the game are the legendary guns you can get from completing the raid.

Nah, my friends scout rifle is a Legendary with Fire damage. I don't think any exotic primaries have elemental damage.

I believe Fate of All Fools does solar damage. Perhaps it is the only one.

There are indeed Exotics with Elemental damage. Fate of all Fools has dropped for some with Solar damage and as pictured above there's a Bad Juju with Void.

I think that it has to be a "dropped" Exotic in order to have a chance of being Elemental, similar to the way that dropped Legendaries/Exotics can also have mods that differ from the vendor/quest ones.
 
Everyone was posting about how they got helmets from the Queen, so excitedly I do the quest! Finally I can get rid of this ugly Vanguard Helmet on my Titan!

Upon completion, I get a Legendary Chest Piece even though I have the Crest of Alpha Lupi. T-thanks Destiny.
 
I'm pretty certain that only raid legendary primary weapons come with elemental dmg these days ( which is fucking stupid imo )
eeeh. generally speaking your primary slot is not necessarily the wisest use of your exotic weapon. it's cool that the raid legendaries have that benefit to them imo, just like the raid armor has extra light.
Woah I didn't know that. I looked at Destiny database and it seems you're correct. I haven't seen that gun in game yet though. Is that a gun you can receive from an exotic bounty?
You can, the bounty is "An Unknown Patron"

That one looks really good. Doesn't have the awkward bipod on it.
 
over 50 hours in with 1 character, almost got my second subclass maxed. Tried the raid last night with my clan mates, only had 2 hours and we got to the maze. found all 3 chests and i wound up getting 2 legendary raid armor pieces, a legendary class item, and the MIDA Multi-tool. also like 2 ascendant shards and energies. so good, so god damn good.

I have this, performance may vary from what I've seen.
 
question for trying to up my crucible game:

i didn't even know ADS was kind of a sub-genre until now. the only game of its type i put serious time into was CS pre-1.0 and now my instincts in firefights bring me back to the id style where i wanna use movement and environment to win firefights. that actively goes against me in ADS style games and destiny definitely provides aim benefits in ADS. circle strafe and jump tricks also get neutered on pad anyway. in games with scoping and 1-shots, it's always felt more like the first to spot or scope-aim reflexes that win out. is that accurate? am i approaching these wrong?
 
So you can run the Queen bounties over and over gain? Is it a viable way to farm ascendant shards? If so maybe I'll just do that after I cap my Vanguard and Crucible marks this week...

apparently the rewards are tilted way toward helms and chests so just keep doing them til you get one and break the rest down for ascendant shards. it's a good deal regardless

That doesn't sound right...

scout rifle and hand cannon pace is perfect for this game. it opens up the combat, and by extension the maps.
 
My legendary scout rifle is a real beast at medium range, in fact with focus class and the bigger of the scopes attached it can be a 4 shot sniper rifle on long maps, I really like it.

What I really want is an exotic secondary or heavy weapon.
 
Damn i really thought the queen thing would be missions in the reef. Kindof let down but im atill going to log in and play because dat lvl 30 and raid.
 
AFAIK Fate of All Fools is not available yet. Nobody's confirmed it in the live game.

It's in the game. No one can finish the bounty for it since it requires the Trials of Osiris, which is an event that hasn't happened yet. But the bounty version can very well differ from a dropped version.
