I haven't gotten any Queen gear even though I'm turning in bounties. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[Strider]

Are the rewards for the queens missions any different today?

No. It's still ascendant shards

 

[Tunic]

Anyone want to run the weekly heroic on PS4? Looking to do both levels. PSN - Tunic85

 

[E92 M3]

Am I guaranteed some ascendant shards if I dismantle the legendary chestpiece I got from the Queen's bounty?




The helm I got from the Queen has a unique name but looks exactly the same as every other Warlock helmet I've ever gotten

You are indeed.

 

[Hawkian]

Out of curiosity, how is this done? When I went to start a Wrath mission last night, I couldn't tell which one it was (ended up being on the Moon). Didn't matter to me but one of my fireteam wanted to avoid Mars on that run.

1) Do queen's bounty from the tracker
2) receive queen's wrath mission token as reward
3) start queen's wrath mission
4a) if earth, continue
4b) if not, go to orbit and repeat

IMO, this is bullshit and should be patched. It's a guaranteed legendary, you should have to do the content set before you and succeed or lose your chance.

I'v only gotten ascendant shards.

Nah Iv got better shit to do.

 

[Sullichin]

I haven't gotten any Queen gear even though I'm turning in bounties. Am I doing something wrong?

For each bounty you turn in, you can do a mission. Go to orbit and you'll see the icon on the left side of the screen.

Hoping Xur has some nice gauntlets or boots for the Hunter this weekend.

 

[Goreomedy]

So how do I trigger the Fallen Walker public event at the divide? Just turn up there at :45 of every hour?

Trying to get the 3 Walker kills? Just go into patrol, and navigate your way to where the Walker is in the strike mission. Took me 15 min to get all three kills.

I agree that's how my group did it and honestly it wasn't that hard. We were 24,22,25

 

[Bizazedo]

I wish we could hold onto more bounties at once. Pretty annoying having to balance between the Vanguard and Crucible ones.

The fact that Exotic bounties take up space is infuriating.

 

[commish]

YES PLEASE! At least 7. With so many bounties out now, having only 5 slots is a hassle.

I know, first world problems and all, but it's really hard to have a 5 mission limit when I have 2 exotic quests still to finish :\

 

[Hawkian]

Hoping Xur has some nice gauntlets or boots for the Hunter this weekend.

Depending on how the Queen chest looks on hunter, either a Hunter Helm, Boots or Chest would be just fine with me.

All I really want is Hawkmoon though. And he won't have it. :''''(

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Anybody else have the crypt dweller sr1 legendary scout rifle? I want thoughts on how it is fully upgraded in terms of usability as some of the upgrades potentially make enemies stagger and reel back as a hand cannon.

 

[Nafai1123]

The problem is some of the missions are MUCH harder than others.

Holy crap I never noticed this, THANK YOU wow wasted so many bounties last night :-(

 

[MaGlock]

Lvl 24 titan looking for help on queens wrath missions on X1. GT PFI deezy

 

[Goreomedy]

Hoping Xur has some nice gauntlets or boots for the Hunter this weekend.

Yup. I'm spending my shards on helm and chest in hopes gauntlets or boots are offered as Xur exotics.

 

[The Lamonster]

How soon should I attempt the raid?

Level 25 sunlock right now with 3 unleveled legendary armors. Also don't have self-rez yet.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Was really excited that I almost had level 2 Vanguard rep. Aww yeah, let's hit up the Hunter Vanguard for some legendary gear... oh wait, I already have all legendary/exotic armor (#problemseveryonewants).

Can't hit up the Quartermaster until level 3 Vanguard rep... so...

So... now what do I do? Join a faction? If so, which one is best if I primarily play PvE?

 

[Lakitu]

Trying to get the 3 Walker kills? Just go into patrol, and navigate your way to where the Walker is in the strike mission. Took me 15 min to get all three kills.

Thanks, I'll do that instead. But I still need a 3rd gold tier for a public event to finish this other bounty.

 

[robertsan21]

The queens mars mission is quite easy too. I snipe most enemies from afar and never really have to enter a fight. Same goes for the boss, spawn him and then jump down and go back on the walk way below, snipe him from a safe distance. I am however using the Exotic Ice breaker sniper, it kicks ass.

 

[RoboPlato]

I just realized how much progression slows after level 20. I hit 20 in 13 hours. I just hit 25 after nearly 40.

 

[Grimsen]

I' at level 21, and tried doing Restoration solo yesterday, and I didn't have guns that could damage the stupid shielded shanks. Also, I have legendary boots that are ready to upgrade to stage 2 defense, whcih would most likely push me to 22, but I'm missing one measly ass shard. >_<

So I'm sitting on 4 Queen's Wrath tokens, and probably gonna get 4 more tonight.

Gonna try to group with a friend of mine to finish the missions, but otherwise I'll come here and ask fellow GAFers for help.

 

[Nafai1123]

Level 25 sunlock right now with 3 unleveled legendary armors. Also don't have self-rez yet.

I'm not even trying until I get to level 27. From what I've heard, your level matter more than anything else regardless of your current set of gear.

 

[stangend77]

Considering Bungie's past games, is anyone else as surprised at how little the vehicles factor into the game?

Bungie created a legend in the Warthog, but all of the vehicles in Destiny just kind of seem like an afterthought. Seems like it could have been such epic inclusion with replayability too.

For example, imagine a 3 man strike set in an open environment where you have access to multiple vehicle types and are trying to take down some sort of huge boss that is way too fast and lethal to take down on foot in addition to random swarms of scrub enemies. You have two guys in a warthog-like vehicle (driver/gunner) zipping around drawing the boss’s attention and evading dominant blasts while doing some but not tons of damage.

Simultaneously, you have another player on a something faster but less lethal (ghost/banshee) who really just has to avoid the boss altogether and either get to stationary weapons quickly to hit weak points or land on the beast and nail weak spots super fast before getting the hell off to avoid some sort of proximity counter measure.

It takes coordination to beat, but it can be achieved multiple ways. Maybe I’m crazy, but this is what I have wanted for years. And I actually still think they have the framework in place to maybe pull it off in a future expansion (crosses fingers!).

 

[DesertFox]

Trying to get the 3 Walker kills? Just go into patrol, and navigate your way to where the Walker is in the strike mission. Took me 15 min to get all three kills.

Wait, what? This thing rapid respawns in that area while in patrol mode?

 

[Goreomedy]

Thanks, I'll do that instead. But I still need a 3rd gold tier for a public event to finish this other bounty.

I always have more luck on Mars for public events. They practically fall into my lap. I don't know if that helps you any, though.

 

[E92 M3]

Trying to get the 3 Walker kills? Just go into patrol, and navigate your way to where the Walker is in the strike mission. Took me 15 min to get all three kills.

I thought only one spawns every 15 minutes? There was no one there shooting him with you?

I know, first world problems and all, but it's really hard to have a 5 mission limit when I have 2 exotic quests still to finish :\

Yes, I have one exotic sitting there taking up a slot lol.

Who else saved the stranger's rifle as a keepsake?

 

[Hawkian]

I agree that's how my group did it and honestly it wasn't that hard. We were 24,22,25

nice, which did you have?

The elemental burn changes everything; you can pull off crazy shit with fusion rifles, snipers, machine guns...

The problem is some of the missions are MUCH harder than others.

Yeah, and so you either succeed or you fail. If you are having trouble, get a fireteam and use the elemental Burn, even the absolute toughest one (Mars cabal boss maybe?) is perfectly doable content of average, acceptable challenge.

No strict requirements or modifiers are in play that make it inordinately difficult. You can die as much as you want. You can get ammo drops all over the place.

Getting an easy mission from the Queen should be considered a stroke of luck, not "what you re-roll to do until you get your reward as quickly as possible."

 

[MechDX]

I keep getting the same bounty missions repeated. Do you have to do the crucible ones as well to get different ones? I hate PvP

 

[BreezyLimbo]

IMO, this is bullshit and should be patched. It's a guaranteed legendary, you should have to do the content set before you and succeed or lose your chance.

Nah, it shouldn't be patched. Destiny has a pretty archaic loot system to it, with endless grinding and repetitive gameplay as it is.

Getting an easy mission from the Queen should be considered a stroke of luck, not "what you re-roll to do until you get your reward as quickly as possible."

So wait. You're against progressing your gear level through RNG, but you're not against getting random missions from the Queen, and advocating that if you reroll it you should lose your access to it?

Ok.

Reposting in hopes somebody else has it and can give comments.

 

[Andrew.]

Yeah, the Earth mission is a joke compared to say, the mission on Venus when you need to shut down several of those Stargates that constantly spawn all the Vex.

 

[Goreomedy]

Wait, what? This thing rapid respawns in that area while in patrol mode?

No, it takes three minutes to reach it, and two to kill it (with my legendary sniper rifle). I just went into orbit and reloaded each time after killing it.

 

[cpp_is_king]

I don't know what kind of crazy person is saying that Nexus is the easiest Nightfall so far. Lost 8 times so far, 6 times before even making it to the boss. And each run uses about 3-4 ammo synthesis packs. There's absolutely no way in hell this is easier than Phogoth, which was a 100% free win from start to finish.

 

[Evil Beaver]

I do wish they could of at least done different missions for the queen stuff..

Also am I the only one who just keeps re-rolling the queen mission waiting for the moon one as it seems by far the easiest one to solo

Keep "re-rolling until" you get the Restoration mission on Earth. All that mission is two dinkle-bot scans and a few enemies. If you take an arc weapon you can steamroll through all the enemies and finish this one in less than 10 min.

 

[E92 M3]

I' at level 21, and tried doing Restoration solo yesterday, and I didn't have guns that could damage the stupid shielded shanks. Also, I have legendary boots that are ready to upgrade to stage 2 defense, whcih would most likely push me to 22, but I'm missing one measly ass shard. >_<

I didn't use any shards to get to 25, but had all blues equipped fully upgraded.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Yeah, the Earth mission is a joke compared to say, the mission on Venus when you need to shut down several of those Stargates that constantly spawn all the Vex.

I just snipe them away, don't need to get close so they spawn just snipe the gate. Pretty easy.

 

[commish]

Level 25 sunlock right now with 3 unleveled legendary armors. Also don't have self-rez yet.

In my opinion, 25 is too low and you're just relying on your team to carry you (which is entirely possible if your team is 27/28). You'll die a lot at 25. 26 minimum and 27 to feel more comfortable.

 

[Nafai1123]

I think it would make much more sense if the missions weren't random and went from easiest-hardest. The more Queens missions you want to do, the harder they get. I'd be on board with that. As it stands now I think it's bullshit that I'm grinding away while someone else is easily finishing it in 10 minutes.

 

[Hawkian]

Nah, it shouldn't be patched. Destiny has a pretty archaic loot system to it, with endless grinding and repetitive gameplay as it is.

right so ensuring just a single mission, rather than a selection, will be repeated is a potent balm toward your perceived issues there. I want to extend you a handshake for stretching the bounds of logic to their absolutely thinnest extremes.

Yes, that's even better. sold.

Regardless, the current "lol reroll" allowance should be patched, not just because of how easy Restoration is.

 

[Vossler]

So level 20 - almost 21 warlock. Have a lot of time this weekend to play - best to do the Queen event bounties?

 

[AmateurHour212]

Yeah, the Earth mission is a joke compared to say, the mission on Venus when you need to shut down several of those Stargates that constantly spawn all the Vex.

Oh god... that's the worst. I broke out a rocket launcher and just fired it into any one I could see. Heavy ammo synth was awesome.

 

[LiK]

YES PLEASE! At least 7. With so many bounties out now, having only 5 slots is a hassle.

The fact that Exotic bounties take up space is infuriating.

I had to abandon a few for the Queen stuff. There should be a separate slot for events and exotics, imo.

I'm trying to understand why you have an issue with this. We've already done these missions a hand full of times. Im not running a 20min mission just to get 2 shards. When I can do one in 5-10mins. Stop telling people how to play this game. And let them do what they want.

Maybe they are shooting the nexus from ontop of the dome, they dont jump down, they stay above and shot him.

I did this with one friend, however, there is a pretorian that spawns regularly in the cave where you are shooting from...

 

[ColEx]

Keep "re-rolling until" you get the Restoration mission on Earth.

How do you re-roll the missions?

 

[BMO = GOAT]

So level 20 - almost 21 warlock. Have a lot of time this weekend to play - best to do the Queen event bounties?

Yup, legendary armor, or break them down to level up the legendary armor you already have.

 

[Union Carbine]

Agreed.
