I don't think Bungie knows what the hell they're doing.

You'd think if they made it this easy to get legendary gear as opposed to fixing the loot system to make it more fair (perhaps by making legendary engrams rarer but guaranteeing purple or gold items). But nope, everyone and their dogs get legendary gear while folks raid to get even more legendary gear that's only a few points better in stats.

Usually, when a tier of gear is made easy to get, there's usually another, higher tier to offset the easiness that's more difficult to obtain.

Dammit.



I am Groot.

I was just thinking the same thing. This sloppy bandaid of progression is just further highlighting the complete lack of a plan or focus here.

This is fucking comedic. A week of whining about the difficulty of getting legendaries, Bungie hands them out, whining about the ease of earning legendaries and requesting a higher tier to grind towards.

The definition of cannot win.

Also that Legendary gear that's 'only a few points better in stats' lets you get to level 30, which is the level of the hard raid, and if you've done any post 20 content, you know how much it sucks to be under leveled against pve mobs. It will also matter very slightly in iron banner, for those who want every advantage they can get, though its less of an issue there.

More critically, there are mods on the raid gear you cannot find elsewhere currently. I'm packing a Solar primary weapon. And it's Solar Burn week. And Epic week. Shanks, Wizards, Cabal, and every poor bastard in the Nightfall, Weekly, or Queen mission with Solar Burn active fear me.

tldr: Queen bounties own.
 
people keep talking about how blade dancers are op and cant be killed I get one shotted by shotguns all the time when using blade dancer. I'm assuming its just the terrible netcode and matchmaking at play. I didn't realize you even get a shield when blade dancing.

I hit a guy with the Titan Shoulderblock from behind right after he popped his blade dancer super. I then slugged him with a Storm Fist.

He was, of course, still alive when he turned and cut me to ribbons. At least his life was visibly damaged. Moral victory.

Went afk near skywatch cave. Got a legendary engram.

Feel kinda bad

I got like 20+ blue engrams and a legendary engram while afk, working, and using the PS Vita to leech xp / "kills".

No regrets.

If you want to weep, think about how much money Vin Diesel got for voicing Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Dinklage said more than
4
words.

Afro!

He said
five
words.
 
Soooo I've just been dismantling the Queen's legendary armour cos it's a bit poo. That's not silly, is it? Like, I won't need it for some special reason will I?

You COMPLETELY whiffed on the issue here.
 
I've done a bunch do you have to do all of them even the crappy PvP ones?

its not from the bounties, you'll notice when you're in orbit and choosing destination, on the left the top choice, above the daily heroic mission etc you should have a queen's mission
 
so i just got this http://www.destinydb.com/items/3490486525-mida-multi-tool

but I'm currently using a fully upgraded doctor nope auto rifle (legendary).... unsure if i should use

I have and use that Scout Rifle. Almost fully upgraded. I didn't even use Scout rifles until it dropped, was always waiting for the legendary or exotic auto rifle. Now it's pretty much my go-to weapon. If you are accurate, it is deadly and will shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger, with an extended mag option to boot.

It's also extremely satisfying to use, much more so than an auto-rifle in my opinion.

Muh bad :p I remember dropping it and immediately hearing "god damn fucking bubble!" (paraphrasing) and just thinking "whoops".


The labyrinth was great fun, the disappearing steps shorter than I expected but still good.....really I think we just need to do the Mars portal first as it's harder, send three in, then just send two into the Venus portal whilst two kill minotaurs and two defend the sync plate.
I've already picked up a stronger Shingen and topping up armour levels so next time they'll go down faster. Need to find a void fusion rifle though...
Looking forward to looting those chests again too. Can never have enough shards.

The problem I could see with that method is that you don't have as much time in the second portal as you do the first. And one person is carrying the shield, so you've got one super with the shield so the other person has to be carrying a lot of heavy ammo, but it's definitely worth a shot.
 
Oh yeah, folks:

How are we cheesing the Nightfall this week?

Apparently you all don't actually ever jump down that giant hole, enemies will spawn up there and you kill them off, the boss still appears and you whittle it down, though you'll need a lot of ammo restock stuff.

I haven't actually tried it to see how well that works yet, though.

I meant do you need to do all of the bounties to open the quest?

No, you can do the mission after each bounty. Basically, if you do 5 bounties, you can do 5 missions.

You fool! If you wear the full armor set you unlock 5 new story missions in the Reef that end with a new raid where you defeat the Darkness!

Man now you'll miss out on all that sweet content. :(
 
You COMPLETELY whiffed on the issue here.

Nope, I'm packing full legendaries and a pile of exotics and the sum total of my engram legendaries is: 2.

They did, however, provide me with coins, motes, and ascendant materials, which I turned into exotics, more exotics, and leveled legendaries and exotics.

Shit if I turned in all of the non PvP bounties at once am I fucked and can only do one mission? Thanks


Oh OK so I should have 4-5 tokens to do missions thanks.
 
Finally DestinyGaf! I got my first chance at an exotic bounty! Which ones is better though? A Light in the Dark, Toland's Legacy or a Dubious Task?
 
How do you start the queen missions? Or is there nothing else aside the bounties?

After turning in a bounty, you get an item that's like an order or something. This lets you play the mission from the left of the orbit screen. It sends you on a random story mission with a few modifiers at level 24. At the end, it consumes your token and you receive a piece of legendary armor.
 
Anyone up for doing the Thorn strike, level 22/26 weekly strike or nightfall strike? Need to do all of them, level 27 hunter.
 
Stuck at level 24, can't seem to grab a purple at all. It's frustrating not being able to attempt the raid. Which is easier to farm rep for-- Vanguard or Crucible? Both are currently at level 1 for me and I'd like to just purchase better gear at this point.

Jarek right? I don't think I'll be able to get on tonight, but probably tomorrow.

Yeah. Ok, no big deal if you can't get on tonight. There's enough time in the week to get it done a couple times at least if we know what to do and where to go.

Vanguard, but just go do a few queens bounty missions, get your two legendary armor pieces, hit 26 and go raid.
