So the Queens event is another crock of shit.

Bummer.



They need SOMETHING to shake up replaying old missions like different enemy placement and different bosses or something.

 

[Xater]

Need 1 for nightfall on ps4. Anyone?

Invite me PSN: Xater

 

[Juraash]

Is it wrong that I'm excited to go home and get Queen's Gear, I mean, Ascendant Shards?

Maxxing out some armor pieces, woot.

Nope, I'm excites for the same thing. This seems like a great small group/solo way to get some upgrades and mats. Maybe content wise it isn't the most exciting but I really like it just the same. Maybe I'm just easy to please. *shrug*

 

[MechDX]

So what do I need to do to get the queen's legendary armor? Complete one of her bounties first?

I wish Bungie would explain their game better. :|

Agreed 100%. I am so damn lost at times.

Too many different types of currencies and no real explanation of why you should do anything.

 

[DY_nasty]

wait

marks are capped at 200???

 

[PedroLumpy]

Nexus and Solar Burn [solar damage] amplifier.

Thanks, so all the Hob/Goblins and Hydras must be solar then. I was really worried about the splash void damage from the boss, hopefully this works out better.

 

[Xeroblade]

wait

I thought it was 100?

 

[Strider]

I just bought some random guantlets because I'm only Vanguard rank 2 and I had 199 marks. Kinda sad there is a 200 cap

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Wonder if the cave is breathing a sigh of relief.

"At last, some respite"

 

[erawsd]

Wow, this event is incredibly lame. They couldn't even make new bounties for the event? Really Bungie? Even the damn kill orders are just story missions made to be annoyingly difficult. I was hoping the event would utilize The Reef in some way, but I guess that location does really exist for one cutscene. Disappointed yet again.

What bothers me is just how shamelessly lazy it is. Even in F2P MMOs, the devs will at least rename the NPCs. Its extremely disconcerting that this is their idea of an event we should be excited about.

 

[Xamtheking]

There aren't. Let's face reality: Bungie is not going to produce an ounce of free content for this game. This is what we're looking at between expansions from now on.

Iron Banner is free, and I think there are other mini events coming
And if you say "it's just a minor extension of the Crucible" I will smack you into next Tuesday

 

[Aztechnology]

I thought it was 100?

100 per week, but apparently you can only hold 200 marks at any given time.

 

[Ramirez]

People saying the game isn't difficult or its arbitrarily difficult should be forced to run the Moon Strike on Epic. Having to actually use arc/solar damage, focus fire, work together, and be alert...Most strikes don't require that at all. 3 Hallowed Knights and 3 Hallowed Wizards will change you, especially when they resist damage not corresponding to their shield.

People don't want a challenge, there's already videos of people cheesing the first raid boss. What's the point of getting the loot if you don't want to do challenging encounters?

 

[Jinjo]

Did they remove The Restoration mission from the Queen's Wrath rotation? It keeps sending me to the moon, venus and mars...

 

[Acidote]

So, are the Queen's Bounties weekly or what?

 

[Anung]

> makes game based around replaying missions over and over.
> Can't skip cutscenes.

 

[Evil Beaver]

Can I check my Vanguard and Crucible levels on the bungie app or bungie.net?

 

[DY_nasty]

I thought it was 100?

no. not the weekly cap on acquiring marks

the total marks you can ever have at one time (vanguard or cruc) is 200

what in all the fuck

 

[A_Gorilla]

Conspiracy theory warning:

Spoiler

Bungie doesn't know how to make a loot game, so they're leaving it in while they try and figure out how to fix their broken system.

In which case I have to applaud them, since most other companies would have patched it by now and left us to flounder until the DLC.

 

[Skele7on]

 

[Cynn]

For Queen's Wrath, has anyone gotten anything *other* than the Helmet and the chest piece? I got a ship, but that's about it.

I'm just wondering if they're breaking up the rewards so you have to keep coming back every day; day 1 offers only helmet and chest, day 2 offers something different, etc.

I got the ship, armor, helmet and "The Supremacy" legendary sniper rifle so far.

 

[EmmaWatsonButt]

So you only get a reward one time during the week for completing the weekly nightfall and the raid?

Got the Apotheosis Veil exotic helm for warlocks. Neat, but Xur needs to get Light Beyond Nemesis available on Friday

 

[Maybesew]

Am I wrong that getting these epic chest and helmets is decent if you want to leave them for an alt when they hit 20?

 

[Bunta]

I thought it was 100?

He means total, not weekly, and I have no clue if they are.

 

[NullPointer]

Feeling like SpOps?

Spartan Ops? That had a mix of new and reused assets - but always included new cinematics and new combat scenarios. that game also had its daily and weekly challenges across PVP and campaign.

Destiny has some catching up to do.

 

[Deadstar]

So I'm looking at the Grimoire on bungie's website and it fleshes out a lot of the things that aren't explained in the game. Why is the grimoire not in the game? I hope it's added because I shouldn't have to go to a website to understand what is happening in the game.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Has anyone ever had Ascendent Shards from Crucible. I've played over 100 games and seen none for anyone :/

 

[neoism]

Complete bounties, use the "tokens" you get for completing the bounties for access to her story missions. Complete story missions for gear.


omg pls avatar this

 

[todahawk]

wait

marks are capped at 200???

yes, total cap limit is 200, weekly earned is 100.

I thought it was 100?

see above. weekly cap is 100 but some of us have recently discovered a total cap of 200. i love that you're not even informed about the cap, they just quietly go away off into the ether.

 

[LiK]

Bummer.

I'm surprised they can't do random enemy placements. Same spawns over and over.

I think that randomizing enemy unit types would be a start and shouldn't be too difficult. On levels that have the Hive faction, randomize between thrall/acolytes/majors/knights/etc so that the levels don't always have the same number of these enemies. If they are weaker enemies, double the density or so. It would be fun to play a mission once with 200 thrall then replay it again with 20 wizards. Haha

And if you say "it's just a minor extension of the Crucible" I will smack you into next Tuesday

Just what I wanted: level 29 people with raid gear and exotics with all their advantages pounding me into the ground in Crucible.

 

[Ze_Pershing]

You can return to orbit and choose the mission icon again to get one of six.

This part confuses me a bit
Is the purple a drop or a prize? Meaning, after you kill the boss, they drop the loot and you quit to orbit or you just wait for it to finish and let the timer take you back to the orbit and then you repeat the mission?

 

[Messiek]

1 more for the nightfall on ps4!

 

[Xamtheking]

Just what I wanted: level 30 people with raid gear and exotics with all their advantages pounding me into the ground in Crucible.

It's a new experience, albeit one that makes you want to learn under the Cryptarch

 

[todahawk]

yeah man but a lot of us need the shards from dismantling.

 

[Poodlestrike]

It's a minor extension of the crucible.

Eh. I guess.

its such bullshit lol

like i could even understand the glimmer cap. but marks? for fucks sake man why?

 

[Shining Sunshine]

wait

marks are capped at 200???

WTF! FUCK I LOST MARKS?

omg bungie for real... I think I still got capped for some marks even though I'm not getting them...

 

[Marcel]

It's a new experience insomuch as I get fucking murdered in the Crucible rather than just be inconsistent.

 

[Steroyd]

Do I have to do -all- the bounty's to get all the gear or do I just have to do 5?

I feel no love for the PvP ones.

 

[E92 M3]

I thought it was 100?

Weekly cap is 100 and total held cap is 200 - very dumb limitation.

 

[Anton Sugar]

omg pls avatar this

 

[cpp_is_king]

I haven't had a chance to log on yet. What's the Nightfall for this week, and what strategy are people using?

 

[Ze_Pershing]

take that RNG! because of the Queen's bounties, only need gloves for all purple baby!

Dont get too excited, it seems that the only purple you get is either a head or a chest gear.

 

[Xamtheking]

It's a minor extension of the crucible.



Eh. I guess.

/rant
IT'S A NEW AND FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU HALO, WHICH IS AN OXYMORON
/endrant
Iron Banner isn't hip and happening, but it's a change, and a free one at that. Also, maybe it won't be in 2 hour windows anymore

 

[K' Dash]

Do I have to do -all- the bounty's to get all the gear or do I just have to do 5?

I'd like to know this too, won't touch Crucible with a 10ft pole

 

[TheCanisDirus]

fixed that for ya.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

There aren't. Let's face reality: Bungie is not going to produce an ounce of free content for this game. This is what we're looking at between expansions from now on.

I'd be happy if they unlocked the content that's already there. I still feel like I had heard or read a quote where they said that they had a 24/7 team dedicated to putting out something new each day. Can't find it now, but they couldn't have been talking about a whole team dedicated to just adding modifiers to story missions, right?

 

[recks]

I haven't had a chance to log on yet. What's the Nightfall for this week, and what strategy are people using?

Its Nexus, strategy is to hide behind the pillar close to where you fall.
