Good guy Rahool.

Thought I was burnt out, or at least mentally I thought I was until I turned the game on again today. Jumping in and just shooting stuff in strikes/bounties with my buds just drags me back into having fun again. Damn.
 
Kill orders. I did all four PvE bounties solo no problem.

Just go back out into Orbit and re-select the kill order mission. It should give you a different mission. You want the "Restoration" mission on earth, which has you activate dinkle-bot twice then clear a small room of enemies. Take an arc weapon and you can clear that mission in less than 10 min.

The key is to keep going back into orbit if you don't get that mission.
 
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.
You don't need to get the kill shots. I did it with a buddy earlier today an we both got credit for the kills. Just make sure you're close to it when it dies.
 
Is that the one that everyone keeps mentioning? Something keep going back to orbit until it cycles around?
Mhm, you can cheese your way into an easy legendary by rerolling (you know it's the right one if it mentions "earth"). Restoration is, no exaggeration, a sub-5 minute mission.
 
I dont know if it's been brought up, but the cooldown period for the ammo synths is fucking ridiculous. I personally think that there shouldn't even be one, but since that isnt the case, the timer should be 30 seconds at the very least. Not three minutes or however long it takes. We were taking on that boss Primus-something on Mars last night for the Queen quest and both my friends died and since you need buddies to revive, I wasnt gonna take the chance to go get them because they were right in the middle of the battlefield and I didnt want to restart the checkpoint. So I hung back and found a safe spot to take sniper shots at the dudes head which eventually led to me running out of ammo a few times, loading a synth clip, unloading and then having to wait and making my friends wait until the cooldown period was up. Just plain old annoying all around.

Killed that boss with that method though. Good times.
 
I got Restoration a few times right away. With a Solar weapon its very easy (the Shanks seem to always have Solar shields). Its a great way to farm shards, the gear looks like shit anyway.

Me and my girl have killed it 6 times today. She got the bounty completed and I havent got credit for 1. We stand in same spot.
 
more sword missions.. more missions where the environment changes ala the satellite dish. how about one where we ride on a Harverster and shoot the ground? how about where we fly in anything..

they really need to work on adding more variety

You will protect your dinklebot from the darkness while he does stuff guardian and enjoy 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?

There are "level effects" which mean that you do greatly reduced damage, and take more damage from, mobs with a higher level than you.

It's my personal recommendation that you don't do strikes/missions that involve killing mobs that are a higher level then you. You could prevail, eventually, but it will take so long that it probably won't be fun.

I would run level 22 missions / strikes until you get some more light and hit 24. The Queen's emissary will be in the game until 2014-10-06, you have plenty of time.

And stay away from that cave, it's a soul-sucking nightmare. ;)

Yeah, I agree. It doesn't help that when you use one ammo pack, the other two go on a 5 minute cooldown for no reason. It's like...Bungie knew everything in their game was a bullet sponge, so let's put cooldowns on ammo packs!

Five minutes.

heavy ammo synthesis without the cooldown would be OP. the use case you've just describe is not the primary one in which I pop the synth.

Special could have a lower cooldown than whatever it is though without being OP.
 
Getting bombarded with "HARE" errors today.. Which is a unspecified network error. Can't stay online for more than 10 minutes.
 
Someone please do the Nightfall strike with me tonight! I didn't do last weeks either. I just hit 27 last night and I'm really excited to try it. PSN is KINGofCRA5H-

I've already done it, but if you need someone when the time comes I can help. I'm usually on between 8:00 - 12:30 or so pacific.
 
A lot of this i'm sure. It will be nice when Sony (They have to, right?) allows us to pay-to-change our PSN id's like Microsoft does.

I'm not holding my breath on that one anymore...I'll be "Wrecked-One" for the rest of my PSN days I fear...I cringe every time I sign on.

That's the other thing. If you want to give me the cooldown timer on the clip I just used then fine, but dont make the other two synths unable to use as well.
 
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 looked in the guide and it only lists 3 bounties so that may be all there is until they add more at a later date.

Didn't one of the big-wigs make a comment about it possibly rolling out sometime in the near future? I have no idea... i just cant understand why it doesnt happen.
 
The only things I have to look forward to are a new faction emblem and raid gear. Kinda killing my enjoyment when the best gear is only dropped once a week and even then it isn't guaranteed
 
I'm up for doing Nightfall around 6pm Central tonight if you need. I have one other dude that wants to do it with me. Let me know or hit me up.
I'd love to but I can't get on that early. My game time starts around 9PM Eastern. I'd love to do that and maybe cash in my Wrath token and hopefully score something other than a chest piece. If you're still on later tonight, I'll look for you.

Thanks Hektr0. We played for a while together last night. I will be calling upon you and Todahawk tonight! Are we PSN friends? Can't remember.
