[Gamer @ Heart]

I finished two of the queen missions, one being the last level of the game, and the other being the first level. Both times I was awarded the same damn chest when I already have an exotic chest equipped. This game and it's faulty rng. Not to mention the 3 legendary engrams I found today that were all blue yet again. That's 14 legendary engrams and a blue every time.

There are only like 2 items. Think of them as free shards for your good stuff

 

[this guy]

Easy shards!

Damn straight.

 

[dustyherb]

All Defender Titans, can we all say a few words to the Traveler (or the Darkness) so that Xur brings us this helm on Friday:

Helm of Saint-14:

I pray everyday to the traveler for this helmet to drop. Anyone know someone who already has this helmet?

 

[mstevens]

its just a luck based trophy and its not one of the worse ones. it may still just happen randomly for you if you keep playing crucible. i lucked out and got it blade dancing the other day. one of the easier ways to get a multi kill, that and probably the wizard blast thingy.

why are you concerned about it? were you planning on having a full raid party not die and go for the plat? thats the fucked up trophy.

With a raised level cap and/or gear progression, I could see the raid one being doable in the future. I'll *never* be great at FPS pvp. I'm talking .25 k/d. Been trying for two straight days to get it with my titan ground pound, but 99% of the time I die before I even see an enemy.

 

[EL CUCO]

I wonder why Mars hasn't unlocked for me :/ I dont have anymore glowing missions on Venus

 

[JNA]

Hey guys I got a question.

For the last 5 mission queen orders, I've been just getting the chest and helm legend pieces. Are those the only armor pieces you get or can it still give you leg armor/gauntlets?

 

[Hawkian]

Welp, thanks Hawkian. Time to go crawling back to Destiny.

Np!
PM me if you have any questions at all

I hadn't seen this.

You have until October 6th to elevate your reputation in the royal court. Accept those bounties and launch your missions. There are old scores out there to settle – both with our enemies and with each other.

Guys, I would not expect these bounties to respawn daily. I believe you can complete each bounty a single time, for a total of 6 chances at missions and 6 guaranteed legendaries during this event. It may refill them at the weekly reset, but I do not expect to see them tomorrow. Perhaps I will be proven wrong, but that is my prediction. And if correct, it feels about right.

Dismantle them for ascendant shards. All legendary drops are valuable even if you do not equip them.

 

[coolasj19]

Just spent an hour farming Spinmetal while listening to Giant Bomb.
There are worst ways I can be spending my time. I can be doing crack or something.

Wait. Are there people that aren't listening to Youtube or Podcasts? That's like... the wrong way to play Destiny.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Anyone up for the weekly heroic or nightfall ? svenminoda on PSN.

 

[tranciful]

I am on such a roll.

8 purple engrams. 5 blues, 3 purples for other classes. Doing these queen missions and I've gotten the chestpiece 4 times in a row. Friend I was playing with got helm, chest, and sniper rifle (and happened to get a purple from a blue after we were done).

The fuck did I do to piss bungie off?

 

[Icyflamez96]

youre praying to the wrong god

 

[JayEH]

Damn I need to level up quick to get to the Queen's bounties. I'm only 10 lol.

I don't have much to listen to but the creakings of my brain.

In the image above, you can see all the potential gear available in this event.

Actually,

Yeah, I'm expecing it to start dropping other armor pieces. AFAIK I've only heard people getting the chest/head today, but maybe tomorrow it will only be legs/arms, or it could stay the same for a bit then change next week.

Do you still think this is the case?

Assuming you didn't need the chest, that's 4 sets of ascendant shards. If you did, that's an upgrade, and 3 sets of ascendant shards.

this is bungie hating you.

titan pound would probably be the hardest one to get it with i would think. but if that's the only class you use then maybe rocket launcher? maybe do a search and look for some tips online somewhere.

it is luck based, so it may take a lot of time to actually get it, so if you not playing crucible much or just getting fed up with it, yeah... if you keep playing it will pop one day. be thankful that its not like the similar achievement in Titanfall to kill all of the escaping pilots... that's one ill most likely never see myself.

good luck!

 

[JNA]

Oh I just saw the image. Guess not lol.

Damn should I pray to the darkness instead?

I needed one chest (because again, I haven't gotten a single purple for my class)

 

[blackflag]

I'm available to Raid or do Nightfall if anyone needs a body. Level 27

[Hawkian]

until tonight. right?

so from this event you got a legendary chest piece and three sets of shards to upgrade it with. this is something that indicates bungie hates you in your eyes.

 

[Deku Tree]

Where do I defeat riksis, for the queen?

...the quest is guaranteed to give you a legendary I'm not sure how there'd be a worse outcome. Getting different stuff is better than getting the same stuff.

 

[malfcn]

How do we see our Queen rep?

 

[Confidence Man]

Doing all the bounties only gets you 500 rep. It'll have to respawn daily to give people a chance to get up to level 3.

 

[Ken]

alucrid almost at the magical 30

Doing all the bounties only gets you 500 rep. It'll have to respawn daily to give people a chance to get up to level 3.

they could pull a marvel heroes and make it a recurring event, so if you want rank 3 you'd have to wait for it to return several more times

 

[ethomaz]

Where do I defeat riksis, for the queen?

Restoration in Earth.

 

[trh]

Gosh, at the very end of a quick farming run i opened a chest that contained two greens, a blue engram, an ascendant shard, and something like 12 spirit blooms. Had no idea these chests existed. Didn't hit the share button quick enough to grab a screenshot so I saved the video, but I'm guessing these are known about by now.

 

[Hawkian]

that entirely depends on what you get. you'd have preferred the legendary ship, eh?

Doing all the bounties only gets you 500 rep. It'll have to respawn daily to give people a chance to get up to level 3.

you're right, that's a good point. how much rep do you need to get to rank 3?

i call 'em crit chests.

RNGesus is the one you seek

 

[malfcn]

Is it suicide to try at 25..alone?

 

[Confidence Man]

you're right, that's a good point. how much rep do you need to get to rank 3?

It takes 1000 to get to level 1, probably another 2000 to level 2, 3000 to level 3. So 6000 altogether would be my guess.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Is it suicide to try at 25..alone?

I tried the first one at level 23 alone and

Spoiler

i was already dead

 

[SnakeEyes]

gonna try night strike for the first time with my brehs.


let's see how it goes

Easy. Just don't jump off the ledge into the boss area.

 

[computers putin']

The close range combat in this game is fucked, so much so that I can't think of one positive aspect about it. I have alot more fun with mid to long range combat tbh and I think the gunplay really shines in those ranges.

 

[trh]

Is it suicide to try at 25..alone?

Queen's wrath? grab one sniper of each element and go hog wild.

 

[Astral]

Does the Vault of Glass really brake several hours to complete? I just want raid gear so I can level up to 30.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

How do you do Raksis over and over?

[BreezyLimbo]

Easy. Just don't jump off the ledge into the boss area.

Minotaurs start spawning behind you if you stay on that ledge. Well, happened to me.

 

[toastyToast]

Anyone wanna do the 28 weekly?

 

[Hawkian]

It takes 1000 to get to level 1, probably another 2000 to level 2, 3000 to level 3. So 6000 altogether would be my guess.

Nothing else gets you rep with her?

In that case, I take it all back, it has to be daily. It looks like the loot won't change though, so that means... this is essentially a "starter boost" to 26, and then an ascendant shard farm. Not bad.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Is it suicide to try at 25..alone?

I did it at 26 alone. It wasn't too bad.

Queen's wrath? grab one sniper of each element and go hog wild.

Do this

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Anyone wanna do the 28 weekly?

Me, but in a couple of hours. Yesterday was the first day since launch that I did not log on to Destiny. Felt great to get a decent night's sleep in 2 weeks

 

[todd360]

I beat the hardest weekly and the nightfall today. Got strange coins as my nightfall gift. So I got about 18-19 coins total. Now I have 39 coins. Hope the exotic I want shows up on Friday. I also beat the raid in about 1 hour 40 minutes. I got the raid sniper and the raid assault rifle. One person got a Monte Carlo out of a chest. Another person got the raid scout rifle. One guy got the legendary ship again. He was so pissed lol. Today was a good haul. Gonna play the queen stuff tomorrow. I still need a legendary helmet.

They have to repeat because they're the only way to gain Rep. The image only talks about boosting rep, not converting it.

 

[Mattdaddy]

Which type of damage works best against what?

 

[SnakeEyes]

Minotaurs start spawning behind you if you stay on that ledge. Well, happened to me.

Yes, but only one at a time so it's SO, SO EASY to turn around and kill it. Leave one person keeping a lookout for it and then kill it as it spawns, and then go back to killing the boss.

 

[computers putin']

For PvP or PvE too?

I think the close range combat is fucked in PVP mainly, but in regards to both PvP and PvE I do think mid to long range combat is more fun in general.

 

[dustyherb]

RNGesus is the one you seek

All hail RNGesus!!

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Possible to solo Queen's Missions?

24 seems easy even if it's epic.
