Support NeoGAF

[Jinjo]

I think so. I was trying for that earlier, but they seem to have cut it down to 3-4 missions atm.

Yeah, I got it now after first besting the Mars mission. RNG was fucking with me again, I guess.

 

[Welfare]

So each bounty completed gives you a chance to do the "Kill Order" mission that yields a legendary item every time?

It's amazing

 

[Poodlestrike]

Maybe, but it's really not that big of a deal. If he wants to make a point on twitter and post it here as well, he can either copy and paste or directly link the tweet. No need to dissect it.

Yeah, people are kind of overreacting.

 

[rugioh]

Why are people acting like this is some unforgivable sin?

I could see people interpreting it as shilling, but I don't have an issue with it

 

[squidhands]

Anyone want to do The Queen's Wrath missions PS3 PSN: ColdReaction.

Anyone on PS3 want to do The Queen's Wrath missions?
PSN: ColdReaction.

Can't seem to figure out how to add you away from my PS3, but gamertag is the same as my GAF name if you want to play later this evening. US Central time for me.

 

[Juraash]

Hey, guys, I turned in some bounties and now the bounty tracker is offering me some exotic bounties!

They are: "A Dubious Task," "Toland's Legacy," and "A Light in the Dark."

A couple of questions.

1. Can I choose all three?
2. If I can't, which one should I choose?
3. Does choosing one bounty lead to a specific exotic weapon, or do I get to choose between a set amount?

1. You can only pick one.
2/3. Those three lead to a handcannon (light in the dark I believe), a shotgun (dubious) and a pulse rifle (toland's). I would say pick the weapon you tend to like best. That being said apparently the handcannon (Thorn) and the Pulse Rifle (Bad Juju) are pretty trash tier according to people in the thread. Shotgun seems like the best of the 3 and possibly the easiest of those 3 to complete.

 

[Moobabe]

Not looking for too much snark - but what was added today in this Queen's thingy?

I've been at work so I'm out of the loop

 

[Ramocalypse]

You can only choose one of the three bounties.
I'd go with A Dubious Task. I just completed it and it was fairly easy to do.
Each bounty leads to one specific exotic weapon. Task is a shotgun, Legacy is a weird pulse rifle, Light is a handcannon.

Really bummed I haven't gotten one of these yet (level 27). I wish we knew if there was some way to increase your chances of getting one.

 

[therealminime]

So each bounty completed gives you a chance to do the "Kill Order" mission that yields a legendary item every time?

Yeah each bounty completed allows you to play the story mission option again. And each time you complete the story mission, you get a legendary item. I got the same chest armor 3 times and dismantled it each time, getting 3 shards each time.

The one hour I spent on Queen stuff this morning netted me more stuff (mainly shards) then the 11 hours of time spent on the raid we did.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

whats the best gear to buy to get assshards? also do they give you ass energy? i need lots of this and for some reason i only own 5 of them
/dismantling legendary gear

 

[Deku Tree]

You also have to a minimum of level 24...

Game won't let my level 20 play her mission(s).

Ugh... great... back to the cave... why can't I get level 20 blues without RNG???

Correct. Each earns a different exotic. I'd do A Light in the Dark for the Thorn. But that's me.

Thorn sucks, bad advice.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

The mission/level design in this game is really weak.

If Bungie makes a sequel this is the first thing that needs to be ameliorated.

If I see one more "walk into room, use ghost to hack object, fight 10 waves of enemies" section in the next game I am totally passing on it.

They gotta learn to be more creative if they want this franchise to continue.

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Haha, if it is available then we can figure something out!

Yes! that's awesome!

 

[FrankT]

I solo'd it. Not even joking.

I did as well. That part was pretty much the make or break of it.

 

[Anton Sugar]

did you see the cutscene cinematic where you get it? should've been right after that.

Nope :-|

Played it last night with two friends. No cutscene, which is what I was expecting.

 

[Stallion Dan]

you mean you cheated it.

I played the game by its design. I did not cheat. If that design sucks and is open to abuse, not my problem.

 

[Jinjo]

Fighting unflinchable Phalanxes is kind of a bitch if anyone gets the Mars mission in Queen's Wrath.

The extra two modifiers are always; weakness to weapon type the enemy fires and unflinchable it seems.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Thorn sucks, bad advice.

Whys that? Everyone i've talked to who has it loves it? Do you just not like hand cannons or are there some other reasons?

 

[The Librarian]

You can only choose one of the three bounties.
I'd go with A Dubious Task. I just completed it and it was fairly easy to do.
Each bounty leads to one specific exotic weapon. Task is a shotgun, Legacy is a weird pulse rifle, Light is a handcannon.

1. No.
2. A Dubious Task
3. Yeah, it's specific weapons. A Dubious Task gives you a pretty nice shotty, whereas the other two lead to Bad Juju and Thorn, which are... pretty underwhelming, apparently

1. No.
2. Do not choose Toland's Legacy, it gives you Bad JuJu. Bad JuJu sucks.
3. Each bounty leads to one gun.

<3 Thanks, guys! I'm going to go with "A Dubious Task" to get that Invective shotgun.

My goal is to have an exotic scout rifle though – either Midas or FoaF.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

A point you are incapable of making without posting your twitter account?

Maybe, but it's really not that big of a deal. If he wants to make a point on twitter and post it here as well, he can either copy and paste or directly link the tweet. No need to dissect it.

And we can also make the point "Eh, that's pretty lame, but you can get us @LegendaryEngram's autograph? He's the real star of #DestinyTwitter"

 

[therealminime]

<3 Thanks, guys! I'm going to go with "A Dubious Task" to get that Invective shotgun.

Yeah A Dubious Task is pretty easy to get. And once you level the shotgun it fires full auto and regens ammo.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Yeah each bounty completed allows you to play the story mission option again. And each time you complete the story mission, you get a legendary item. I got the same chest armor 3 times and dismantled it each time, getting 3 shards each time.

God damnit. I just did the Kill Order via remote play from work.

 

[todahawk]

Nope :-|

Played it last night with two friends. No cutscene, which is what I was expecting.

sorry man, that really sucks. try replaying the last mission? this is the first i've heard of this happening... although there seems to be a fair amount of glitches in this game.

 

[Carn82]

Shotgun seems like the best of the 3 and possibly the easiest of those 3 to complete.

hah, glad i randomly chose that then

 

[CloudyTuba]

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

Oh god. Everything in this game is designed to make it hard to play.

 

[tmespe]

Need one more for queen and weekly strike if anyone is interested. Psn:teermi.

 

[Patroclos]

I played the game by its design. I did not cheat. If that design sucks and is open to abuse, not my problem.

Alignment; Lawful Evil

 

[Milennia]

are exotic bounties random? do i have a greater shot at getting them if i hand in multiple bounties at once?

 

[Byron Bluth]

Yeah A Dubious Task is pretty easy to get. And once you level the shotgun it fires full auto and regens ammo.

Joining your Fireteam! I'm at work and on my vita so I can't chat.

 

[Marcel]

Yeah, people are kind of overreacting.

I like Nier a lot but I wish I could muster up the defensiveness and twisted logic some Destiny diehards retreat to when a preferred game of mine is criticized for its obvious flaws.

 

[LiK]

Oh god. Everything in this game is designed to make it hard to play.

It is your destiny to grind.

 

[Bizazedo]

Gotta do something when others are doing the grind at the cave

I think some issues regarding story would be resolved if I can read about a faction I have been killing for a while right in the game. Just beat a boss, at the mission select, let me go read about him right there.

You know what? These damn loading screens. They take forever.

Add lore on the bottom of them. Or tips. Or smartass sayings. I mean, fuck, Space Marine had awesome tidbits that got you into the mood.

"Ignorance is the fortress of the mind."

Hell, yes. For the Emperor.

Really bummed I haven't gotten one of these yet (level 27). I wish we knew if there was some way to increase your chances of getting one.

I have two, simultaneously, right now. It's sucking up my bounty slots. Why they don't have their own slots is bizarre and just one of the little things that makes me so pissed at Bungie.

It HAS to be a rush job, right?

Nope :-|

Played it last night with two friends. No cutscene, which is what I was expecting.

Were you fireteam leader?

 

[Flo_Evans]

are exotic bounties random? do i have a greater shot at getting them if i hand in multiple bounties at once?

Pretty sure it's another RNG roll.

 

[Steel]

Oh god. Everything in this game is designed to make it hard to play.

It feels like a free to play game, to be honest. Without the "Please Pay to increase your caps" option.

 

[TUSR]

Whys that? Everyone i've talked to who has it loves it? Do you just not like hand cannons or are there some other reasons?

Thorn is a bad weapon, is there is really no other way to say it.

And since you asked, I love hand cannons. The lackluster clip size and reload speed make it useless.

 

[Z3M0G]

You can only choose one of the three bounties.
I'd go with A Dubious Task. I just completed it and it was fairly easy to do.
Each bounty leads to one specific exotic weapon. Task is a shotgun, Legacy is a weird pulse rifle, Light is a handcannon.

Does the game tell you what the reward is for each bounty ahead of time? Or are you expected to go in blind, do one, and get the other two at some later time?

 

[vehn]

anyone have a guide for all chests in VOG?

 

[Nafai1123]

are exotic bounties random? do i have a greater shot at getting them if i hand in multiple bounties at once?

I've had two so far and both were when I turned in multiple bounties at once....but I'm pretty sure it's just random.

 

[The Librarian]

You're like the eighth highest poster in this thread and you haven't seen this question answered?

I didn't see this question answered in the previous few pages and this thread moves very fast.

I'm sorry: Am I not allowed to ask questions?

 

[Two Words]

So it seems like new story content won't come until the expansion in December. I got the expansions in the collector's edition, so I'll play them. I do wonder how willing people will be to explore the current world for 3 more months.

 

[Frillen]

Anyone want to do the weekly level 28? Preferably level 26+. PSN SuperYlvis.

 

[Juraash]

hah, glad i randomly chose that then

Indeed I meant to go for the shotgun, grabbed the one for the pulse which I never use lol. Probably gonna abandon it when I see another one pop.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I like Nier a lot but I wish I could muster up the defensiveness and twisted logic some Destiny diehards retreat to when a preferred game of mine is criticized for its obvious flaws.

I am grateful for my blinding enthusiasm every day.

 

[therealminime]

Does the game tell you what the reward is for each bounty ahead of time? Or are you expected to go in blind, do one, and get the other two at some later time?

No, the bounties are unclear as to what the reward is, aside from it being a weapon. Only way to know is to check online.

I didn't see this question answered in the previous few pages and this thread moves very fast.

I'm sorry: Am I not allowed to ask questions?

It's cool, shouldn't have called you out. It's just that I've seen this question asked probably a hundred times throughout the thread.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I like Nier a lot but I wish I could muster up the defensiveness and twisted logic some Destiny diehards retreat to when a preferred game of mine is criticized for its obvious flaws.

Lol. I meant about the guy posting stuff from his Cryptarch twitter feed.

 

[Ze_Pershing]

Where are people seeing colored shields? Am I color blind or something?

Quite possible, see your doctor.. lol, jk.

In higher level strikes and weeklies you'll see some of bosses and mini-bosses sport different types of shields. For each color of shield there is a perfectly suited gun to use against that foe to bring that shield down faster.

I found this after posting my question.
http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_Type

 

[Steel]

Does the game tell you what the reward is for each bounty ahead of time? Or are you expected to go in blind, do one, and get the other two at some later time?

Blind. So blind that you don't even know what you have to do until you accept. As to the latter part of the question, you won't necessarily get the other two at a later time. The way it works is that you have 3 random bounties out of a larger pool to choose from. so the next time you see an exotic bounty, it won't necessarily have either of the other two as an option.
