Did Queen mission and got the exact same Titan chest piece. Definitely not going to run todays mission again. Hopefully tomorrow's is good enough to make multiple runs tolerable.

Oh man the shards you get from dismantling them are worth way more than the chest itself.

 

[Yaari]

Was just PVPing and some guy got that Ice Breaker when it ended, lucky bastard.
I'm not very lucky on my drops and any level up I get is due to some blue stuff with minor upgrades, so level 24 now.

 

[DJ Lushious]

Does the Queen only give three bounties today?! No one can even complete "For Her Honor" yet. Come on, Bungie. Seriously.

Where's the best place to farm public events please gaf?

I'm planning on just banking the tokens until the loot drops change.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

How have I been playing crucible every day since the game released, yet I just now played on Asylum for the first time.

Wtf Bungie

Does anyone have a list of the maps? Now I'm curious to see if I still haven't come across any more.

 

[ChubbleDucks]

Is there an easy guide for all the endgame stuff, vendors, etc somewhere? I feel overwhelmed by all this stuff haven't never played an MMO style game before.

i want the queen's ship. flying through space on my way to a crucible match sporting long purple streamers... swag

 

[Tawpgun]

I wonder how difficult it is for bungie to add in new enemy encounters. I know entire missions are tough since it requires more dinklebot VO, but if you were just to add new enemy placements in patrol, maybe a voiceless mission/reuse dinklebots voice assets. After all, all he needs to say is, "let me scan that"

There is no "Today's" or "Tomorrow's" Queen mission. They are random. If you don't like the one you got sent on then simply back out to Orbit and you'll most likely get another one.

What I don't know is whether the (legendary) Rewards for completing them are random as well or tied to the mission or change daily.

[Zakalwe]

Old Russia

Which areas? I read there were two specific ones you could jump between every 15 minutes.

 

[X-Frame]

I'm so excited that depending upon the bounty selection one could accumulate 5-15 Shards a day until the event is over.

Everyone should be well stocked up by the end.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Someone try this at level 28.

Looked like way too much work. All you need to do is stay at the top and not drop down into the boss arena. You get a spawning Minotaur behind you to deal with but other than that the boss is a cake walk.

Bungee needs to up the RNG Odds sTad!

That's my plan.

It's sad that this game has nearly zero drops for two weeks then suddenly hands out legendary gear / shards like it's raining after a drought.

This game has the loot system completely up in the air.

 

[buy teh haloz]

I am defeated. I have put an ungodly amount of time into this game (3 days, 13 hours) and I've gotten 3 exotic weapons outside of bounties and Xur. All 3 have been the same rocket launcher, Truth.

I don't even have time to explain the odds of that.

Ha... and I thought I had it bad getting the same legendary weapon twice in a row.

 

[Beefy]

Queens Wrath is way too easy.

 

[naeS]

i want the queen's ship. flying through space on my way to a crucible match sporting long purple streamers... swag

I know... that ship and the purple banners fluttering in the breeze. And with the mountains in the background, just makes that area..

 

[Bizazedo]

Queens Wrath is way too easy.

What level are you? Also, remember, most people are still grasping even the concept of elemental damage.

you gonna be online later to do the Nightfall?

 

[Octacamo]

Queens Wrath is way too easy.

Really? i havent tried it yet

was focusing on the bounties for now... will give it a try tonight then

 

[bobbyrawlins]

Think I'm gonna bail on this Thorn bounty. I'm up to the last objective, kill Xor or whatever, but the gun doesn't sound that great.

Should I persevere anyway?

 

[Rosur]

Got to 24 last night, quite enjoying the PvP and probably gonna max crucible marks this week.

Though still don't have a Legendary/ Exotic damn RNG (and not doing enough grinding to buy some)...

 

[S1kkZ]

Where's the best place to farm public events please gaf?

i always do the venus chest run. you get tons of ghost flowers (i play in german, dont know what they are called in english) and every 30 minutes (sometimes even more) a public event starts (its mostly the walker or destroy extraction teams thing).

 

[Deku Tree]

Where is the easiest place to kill a fallen walker for the queens bounty?

 

[Jito]

Queens Wrath is way too easy.

Yeh I was well putting off even trying it last night as it's 24 and I'm only 23, but managed to make it through the Moon one by myself with a few deaths, I expected worse really!

 

[Hawkian]

My excitement for this game has dropped significantly since release. Now reading about how the best way to gear up is farming a stupid cave makes me just want to stop playing and focus on d3 or dick around in borderlands

Sucks that you're reading about that because it isn't true.

 

[Seil]

Where is the easiest place to kill a fallen walker for the queens bounty?

You can go to the strike area in patrol and he'll spawn. It's an instanced location so no one can take your kill. Just kill him and orbit a couple times.

 

[TatteredHat]

Where is the easiest place to kill a fallen walker for the queens bounty?

There's the Earth public events, but you need to get the killing blow on the walker for it to count. You can also do the Devil's Lair strike or take the Earth patrol mission and walk to the place where the Devil's Lair walker spawns, it'll still be there.

I know it's a small sample size, but I ran the Earth Mission twice last night, the first time I got the legendary chest and the second the legendary helm.

If anyone on X1 want to setup a Raid run for this weekend i'm in

I'm in as well. We have quite a few guys here that want to raid, so getting a group should be good.

Holy fuck marks are capped at 200? who the fuck thought that was a good idea. I was saving crucible marks untill I hit 300 so I could get 2 legendary weapons at once. I wasn't paying any attention and I've blown through like 30 marks worth of crucible games. Yo that's some bullshit, why is the cap so low. YO THIS IS SOME SUPER BULLSHHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT, my weekly mark cap has moved but I can't get never reclaim those marks who the fuck thought of this brilliance?

Yes, it's so dumb. Some of the designers at Bungie seem to be really full of themselves. Okay, we have a weekly cap - but why the fuck put a limit on how much I can hold?? I really don't understand why.

I really want that sniper. Gimme!

It's so lovely to use. Got it last night and already did a few upgrades

Awww yeah!! Thank you nightfall strike. says are a lot better than shown, only pic I could find atm.

What abilities does that chest come with?

if you just keep on playing, you will get more shards, no biggie imo

In RPGS I am a hoarder and feel guilty when spending precious and/or rare materials. Something I've had for my whole gaming career. Also, if there isn't "enough" of something in my inventory I farm it lol.

 

[FF Seraphim]

So reading the reddit destiny section it seems people are catching the bounties early enough to get them twice in a day. Anyone else know about this?

 

[Tawpgun]

On the quest now for a legendary and/or exotic armor and weapon.

Still need to do nightfall and the raid.

 

[Andrew.]

Made it almost to 27 last night. Scored two legendary pieces through the Queen strikes. Easy peasy.

Hopefully I can tackle the Vault this weekend.

 

[milkham]

Hey guys did I make an impulsive mistake this morning: decided to use a lot of shards and level up to 28. I was saving them for something in the future, but then just wanted to level up. Should I have saved my shards for "Something" better or is this no big deal?

apparently the raid enemies are level 28 so you're good since being 28 will make it easier

 

[Trickster]

And in BF4 I can't play with 65 of my friends. Such wit


I dunno. Coming from Halo and its 4 player coop experience it feels like someone is always missing out here. At least in strikes.

It has nothing to do with me trying to be a smartass or whatever you perceive my post to be.

Point is that the 3 player cap is not really a problem. Yes it might not be ideal for you and your friends specifically, if you are a core of friends that normally average 4 people online, forcing someone to sit out for certain things. But that same thing also applies to other groups of people if it the cap were something like 4, 5 or 6 players. Which I have experienced like I mentioned.

At least with a low group cap of 3 players. It makes it much easier for friends of 5 and up to play in groups together, without having to let someone sit out.

 

[DeadManWalking]

Bungie posted patch notes.
Update 1.0.1.4 - Patch Notes
Summary:
The latest patch for Destiny reduces the difficulty of a number of activities, as well as fixes issues when completing the Vault of Glass.

Activities

Missions
Shrine of Oryx: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers
Sword of Crota: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers
Exclusion Zone: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers

Raids
Dropping the relic at the end of the raid will no longer result in a team wipe. This will prevent players being stuck at a black screen after the raid
You will remain dead if you were dead when the mission ended. That will be addressed by a future patch

Armor
Hunter armor purchased from FWC has been changed to use the correct upgrade materials

 

[Shiera Seastar]

I know it's a small sample size, but I ran the Earth Mission twice last night, the first time I got the legendary chest and the second the legendary helm.

Well, then it's settled. Everything about the Queen missions is randomized.

 

[Scousefury]

So reading the reddit destiny section it seems people are catching the bounties early enough to get them twice in a day. Anyone else know about this?

I had this once. Going on GMT time i had one set of bounties from 9 AM to 12PM, then began a new set. It was not just bounties either, the daily public event worked twice for me too.

 

[Zakalwe]

Here you go!

http://destinypublicevents.com

Many thanks.

i always do the venus chest run. you get tons of ghost flowers (i play in german, dont know what they are called in english) and every 30 minutes (sometimes even more) a public event starts (its mostly the walker or destroy extraction teams thing).

I actually need those so I might do it. Thanks. :3

 

[E92 M3]

apparently the raid enemies are level 28 so you're good since being 28 will make it easier

I beat the raid already Just have so much guilt for using shards on purchased gear lol.

 

[T.O.P]

I'm in as well. We have quite a few guys here that want to raid, so getting a group should be good.

Allright

I'll try to upgrade some of my stuff before then

 

[Kyoufu]

So reading the reddit destiny section it seems people are catching the bounties early enough to get them twice in a day. Anyone else know about this?

I did this yesterday, yeah.

 

[Wickwire]

Sucks that you're reading about that because it isn't true.

yeah, if you read the thread further, i've already had this discussion with someone a bit more helpful, thanks though.

 

[Handy Fake]

I know it's a small sample size, but I ran the Earth Mission twice last night, the first time I got the legendary chest and the second the legendary helm.

Legendary helmet here n'all. Nice sparkly thing with pointy bits that looks like a crown.

I look fabulous, darling.

 

[X-Frame]

Wow, the Devil Walker will spawn in Patrol in the same area as the Strike? I never knew that!

Is it the very low health one that spawns in the Divide area or the one from the Strike with way more health?

 

[FF Seraphim]

I had this once. Going on GMT time i had one set of bounties from 9 AM to 12PM, then began a new set. It was not just bounties either, the daily public event worked twice for me too.

So it is possible... but... I rather not stay up that late to do it...
