Finally completed the Thorn exotic bounty. So glad I never have to set foot in that deathtrap again. Now as for the weapon itself, it's not that bad. I can't remember if it was this gun or the pulse rifle where people had a problem with how long the reloading took, but it seemed pretty standard to me. I'll have to adjust myself to having six rounds in each clip (my handgun legendary had 13 rounds which is a big difference imo), but I'm definitely gonna keep using this gun
 
Had a chance to check my hours played on this game from the app. It's safe to say I've got my moneys worth and then some, lol.

This. Had so much fun with this game and I look forward to the updates and DLC. There are flaws (as with most games) but I can see myself playing this for ages.
 
Cave hasn't been patched, if they did I think they would cause an actual shit tsunami.

They did patch several missions for glimmer farming though, too out the tough mobs.

Yeah, they got to say it was due to difficulty while neutering the glimmer. I don't get it, honestly, with how the Cave is still running full throttle.

The only thing I can think of is they have something coming that'll require Glimmer....
 
I'm probably embarrassingly late with this but today I found out you can signal "go right", "go left", "stop" and "go forward" by using the d-pad while on your sparrow. Pretty neat!

Also you can turn invisible in the tower by using the bladedancer's "stalk" ability. Makes me wonder if you can use any other abilities in the tower.

That's so neat lol. Will try that out.

uh, no. i didn't know you could do that. nice!

I finally used the cover system on a couple of missions last night. boss is bombing me behind cover, aim down sight, pop pop pop, go back into cover.
 
I have the bounty for killing Fallen Walkers and have killed around 5 today. But none have counted for me. Any idea why?

And what is best way to get ascendant shards?
 
Bungie pls, this all sounds great. Hope they add something like that in the future


Or at least give us a big team battle game mode(without supers) that has new vehicles. They need to take advantage of some of the big slow maps like moon and bastion.


I would love a vehicle like banshee or hornet from halo.

Excellent call on a vehicle PVP list without supers. It sucks to grab a tank and then just get destroyed by a super immediately, haha.
 
questions about Queen's Wrath mission. Will I only get a Legendary drop if I have an actual mission thing in my inventory? Or am I allowed to tag along with others who have them and get drops from that too.

You need the mission ticket. I just tried trading along and got nothing.
 
Finally at lv29.

Did 4 Queen missions.
First was Cabal and the boss glitched out on us. Win! Helmet
Second Black Garden. Robes
Third Black Garden Helmet and Ship
Forth Black Garden Helmet

Thanks for mixing it up Bungie ha

Dude on my team did get a Legendary Sniper

Edit: One of the blue drops from the mission gave me the 77 Wizard Fusion yay!

Okay gotcha. Guess I need to grind out these Queen's bounties then.

Are you guaranteed at least 2 ascendant shards from each Legendary from this? I need 6 more to upgrade a piece of armor to get to 28, so I'm thinking 2 more bounties should be good (since I already have one in my inventory).

It's still running? I was just there with two guys to stop off for ten minutes on my way past but it just didn't work. After 3 waves the enemies stopped spawning despite there being no stragglers hanging around the area. I figured the cave was stealth patched but maybe it just bugged out instead.
 
I like stumbling upon people with random assed usernames.

Like, a couple days ago I was taking on The Nexus boss with my friend and someone joined us named: "Just A Squirrel"

Your Warlock is a thing of beauty mate.

Mine is rocking that crappy ripped Nemesis Plane II look... I'm too ashamed to rock a screenshot lately, and keep unlocking Hunter Legendary chests (got 3 now in storage for my 'to-be-made' next char haha).

Today is the day, GAF.

RNGesus, daddy needs a new chest piece pls.
 
Game won't stop giving me the same 3 Exotic Bounties (Invective, Bad Juju, Thorn). Actually getting annoyed at this point since the only one of the three I want is the Invective and I already have it. Doing the Thorn one because why not, worst case I can just break it down for parts. But what's the trick to getting the void damage kills? I don't have a primary that has Void on it. Just play it safe with a Void shotgun and heavy weapon?
I don't know what i'm doing wrong but I can't get a damn exotic bounty. I've done my bounty's every single day since day 1 and still cannot get an exotic bounty quest

What is the bounty task exactly?

Queen's event... 2-3 shards per run (dismantling legendary).

earlier we were talking about Vajayjayabrams and part of me wants to believe its his and he can't change it.
 
I've been playing irregularly, due to life things. So I'm level 22 with found gear. I get bored by things like the cave farming, but I'm not advocating against it. Playing irregularly is not conducive to such things.

Anyway, I jump into the Queen mission, which is Level 24, and get 1-shotted by simple mobs. Is there any quick jump to some more Light-based gear so I don't miss out on a timed event, for which I have multiple bounties already in queue?

You have to put the finishing blow on them. And in terms of shards, you can do the daily on the hardest for 2, public events and dismantling legendary.

Do it in a group
 
There are some generally great encounters/missions in Destiny.

"Scourge of Winter"
"The Archive"
"The Buried City"
"A Rising Tide"
"The Last Array"
"Chamber of Night"
"Shire of Oryx"
"The Garden's Spire"
"The Sword of Crota"
Eye of a Gate Lord is pretty awesome as well
I agree with those. I've replayed The Last Array a jillion times for fun, I love the final defense. Gotta shout out to The Dark Beyond as well, because we've woken the hive! I like the Black Garden iteslf too.

legendary
sniper. :/

I already have two of those.
First world problems -_- I have no legendary/exotic special weapons of any kind. You've already got 2 better... those must be good weapons. Dismantle it for energies and move on. Yes, a legendary you already have a slot filled for is the worst possible roll for a Nightfall. You still get some mats, rep, and the weeklong buff anyway.
Another guy received 6 ascendant energies.

Last week a member of the fireteam got 11 ascendant shards, while the other guy got 6 strange coins.

Why can't they guarantee at least an exotic for everyone, or at least the same number of shards/energies?
I got 9 strange coins :> Guaranteed exotic, legendary, ascendant mats, or strange coins. That's a great reward table. illegitimate complaint :X

A guaranteed exotic per week on top of everything Xur has for sale would be absolutely ridiculous.
I know I'm ranting but this game has the most dissatisfying reward system ever.
not for everyone :P
 
Does the last 3 defense updates on a legendary or exotic armor, the ones that need Ascendant Shard, increases the light too?

You arent making the killshots. Primary reason why I wont do that bounty. Aint worth the time and effort to me personally. It isnt the other players' fault either since they dont know youre trying to score it.
