Wow, that Scout headshot bounty from the queen is fucked up. Is this supposed to be fun or what? Played 3 rounds yesterday and managed 1 glorious headshot with that thing. Abandoned the bounty afterwards. Are u kidding me?

I don't think it's that hard. Keep your distance and maybe steal some kills with just the killingblow. I got 17 in 3 games, will do the other 3 today.
 
I know a lot people will disagree, but I think Bungie should:

-Nerf Auto Rifles
-Buff Scout Rifles
(Puls Rifles and Hand Cannons are pretty good)
-Remove Skill-Cooldown-Enhancements in PvP

I agree with the first three. The fourth would be a pity as it removes a way which people can use to differentiate themselves. The far easier route would be to simply reduce how frequently people can grenade, and super (kinda thinking that the melee is okay) by a pretty significant factor.
 
I highly doubt it will be better than what you have now because of how insane recoil it has making it most inaccurate weapon in the game. As a toy to play around for few minutes it's ok I guess :D

If I really wanted to use it I would level it up through bounty returns so I would get those perks unlocked, but as un-upgraded weapon it's shit.
Yeah I'm not wanting it thinking it's the best gun in the game. Just like I did in Borderlands I just want to play around with the guns and experience their perks. The Invective is not the greatest gun either until you level it up and get the stability upgrade along with the regenerating ammo. Leveling these things up and doing mission with them makes me play the game differently and while having a bit of fun doing so.
 
Really starting to get the itch to play Destiny. Thought about grabbing it for PS3 digitally so I'll be ready to roll when picking up a PS4 this holiday, but a lack of spare cash at the moment has me leaning towards just waiting until Christmas and experiencing the whole thing on the PS4.

It's funny as I've been trying to get into Archeage and various other games to pass the time, but keep finding myself wandering back to Destiny threads/videos. :D
 
The same vendor; level 3 unlocks weapons to buy.



Yes. You can funnel all your rep to PVP factions but you can't the other way around for Vanguard or Crucible.

I know about rep, I wanted to know about marks. If I do a Vanguard Strike or bounty will I get faction marks?

Get rid of titan in PVP :
- by far the fastest super activation time; on par with a shotgun reaction shot, the super can one shot an entire room even if you are 10 meters above the point of impact
- strongest melee that can one shot anyone, can reset its cooldown so you can punch it two to three times in a row if you are lucky
- insta kill shoulder bash on running. Not only it's the strongest class but also it doesn't have any debuff to running around, not actually it's very much recommended as you one shot anyone without having to slowodown
- Bubble makes them invicible inside. Already strongest class, here, get ANOTHER shield inside your impenetrable shield, to make sure no one will ever go for you inside.

I just find it unfair when someone can Pull off Bladedancer about 10 times in one match, and I can use Novabomb maybe two times.
They have to do something about that.

Yeah, they have to disable some of that Stuff in PvP, otherwise we'll have Titan-only PvP in a Month,...
 
It's going to take SIXTY relic irons to fully upgrade this chest armor, are you fucking kidding me? Someone tell me there are 50 of these sitting in a chest somewhere or available for purchase from a vendor. Because it's never happening otherwise.

Do this and you'll have 50 in 1.5 hours easily:

I just did this earlier tonight. There are actually 3 other caves in the beginning area that he doesn't show, but I went around to those too.
 
That's lame. So only way to get marks is through Crucible?
There are two kinds ofs of marks. The vanguard ones that you get for the strikes and so on and then there are the multiplayer marks where you have to play in the Cruicible. Since you can buy everything with the vanguard marks you don't really need to play the Cruicible at all.

Unless you want double the marks a week for double the Ascendant mats.

don't exaggerate! :D bladedancers can pull it off usually two times during a match. If you are lucky and find enough super-orbs you might be able to do any super more often.

Bladedancers ability covers a larger area though and if you have the regeneration ability they are really hard to kill during the knife-run.

Maybe if I'm feeling particularly bored. I know it's endgame, but this is easily the most unbalanced thing I've seen in the game. If even 1 in 10 enemies dropped this stuff, that would be ok.

Why don't we consider things the other way around - buff other types of Rifles and Hand Cannons so they are more viable in PVP. ARs are completely fine. Those with low rate of fire have higher impact and those with high rate of fire have minuscule impact.

ARs are not guaranteed kills.

Also, skill cooldown enchantments are fine since every class has some.

For now, if you're on a time crunch (have a job, kids, etc) the quickest method to get shards by far is to do the queen's bounties. They all reward you with legendary armor, so you can earn 5 pieces a day for 10 minimum and 15 maximum shards, and they don't take long to do.

If you have 3 chars, that's 3x5 bounties, or 15 armor pieces for a minimum of 30 shards and a maximum of 45. Every day. Assuming you have several hours a day to do all 5 bounties on all 3 characters, lol. But even if not you can just do the easiest 2-3 bounties on each char and earn ~15-20 shards a day.

Stock up before she leaves!!

I did the first step on all the bounties on one of my low-level toons yesterday so that I got the 5 missions in my inventory. Toon is only lvl 12 but this way when I get it to 20 this weekend and throw on a few armor pieces I can go do the 'missions' and get all the armor rewards in one day. Gonna do yesterday's bounties on my other low toon (lvl 13) this morning when I get off work for the same reason, then start working on today's bounties. Just gonna stockpile the 'missions' in my inventories until I have a day where I can sit down and keep doing that 'mission' playlist over and over on each character.

I don't know if people on a time crunch have 3 level 24 character already lol.

Every day? The queen bounties restock?
 
Just came to say MP is unbalanced drivel...will not play Destiny online again. All these supposed skill based games do not revolve around skill, so the matches are dumb, unfair, and give the player zero sense of accomplishment. Man I miss Halo 2 and Uncharted 2 MP (pre-patch)...those were excellent.

I don't know. Doing the Queen's bounty that required 20 Guardian headshot kills gave me a new appreciation for Scout Rifles. I thought it was going to take ages, but I almost did it in one game. I think the key is finding one with a good rate of fire, and always going for headshots. Cryptic Dragon is what I'm using. Useless at close range, but mid to long range it's super effective. I just hang back in Clash, and destroy everyone.

I sure hope so. Why wouldn't they? If they don't at least I'll have 15 bounties done for between 30 and 45 shards. I'll know this morning when I get off work if they restock since I did them all to completion on my main. Unless someone posts here first that they do restock shortly when the daily timer resets.

Pardon me while I laugh at this.

Never thought I'd see "Titan OP" calls! You do realize that you are listing things that one person can't have at one time, correct?

Titan melee is strong, but has the smallest reach. No ranged super. Even armor bubble can be destroyed by a void bomb.

Finally, shoulder bash is far from easy to use reliably. First off, the charge doesn't stay the whole time you are sprinting. You have to use it or lose it. If you stop to sprint again after sprinting, you have the few second Destiny delay. Furthermore, if you choose the shoulder bash, you give up your increased defense when using super...which makes you cannon fodder.

nerfs pls

accurate. this is also a decent time to get 3 characters fairly easily to 26 as well if you haven't done so. if it's not clear how just let me know.

We'll yeah, I should have used the Titan example instead. But in my last ten games i felt like I am being spammed by Bladedancers.

ARs already kill damn fast when aimed properly. Going against that with a Puls Rifle or Scout Rifle, even from further distance where they should dominate, usually ends up in the favor of the AR.
 
I HATED hand cannons for 99% of the game (Thorn included), but after I got The Last Word and tried it out I never went back. Gawd that gun is amazing, and I feel like a badass with the extra animations you get for wielding it. I feel like a true gunslinger

Used hand cannons for the first time in the crucible last night because of the queens bounty.

They are awesome in pvp

Red hand iX is a beast, would kill to find the last word.

Were those supposed to be examples of skill based games?
 
Yes. I've already done the same bounties twice.

How? You must've gotten the bounty glitch, because the dailies haven't reset yet and the queen's bounties just came out yesterday at the reset didn't they?

Someone mentioned that if you were already online when they showed up and did them, then logged out and back in, you'd get to re-do them, but that's not supposed to be the case.

unclear, we'll find out in an hour. she has a rep grind so there need to be more bounties somehow at least.

This. You can't even buy her faction reputation class piece until you reach a higher rank with her rep, unlike FWC and the other one.
