Wearing faction marks/bonds makes it so that any faction points you get go toward that faction.

Otherwise, they're just for show, and Warlock bonds are all really unimpressive and disappointing so far.

 

[elementalsin]

anyone up for daily story level 28? ps4 elemental_sin

 

[malfcn]

These bounties are booty.

YoungBama went 0.07 just now.. -_-

I agree. However, I did get a Warlock bond from VoG that sparkles in electricity. It adds a neat effect. Now my character has blue fire coming out of her head and electricity going up her arm while wearing the Sunbreakers.

I haven't noticed that yet, or did you mean the big heavy shields? I fight them like they're heavy Jackals - hit the shoulder outside the shield, then land the headshots. That or break out the rocket launcher.

Also, the Cabal make it feel like I'm fighting the cast of Gears of War.

I can't help but think of Warhammer 40k when fighting the Cabal/Vex. The Cabal are literally the Imperium(They have an emperor, big bulky space marines), and the Vex are a stand in for Necrons. The Fallen remind me of Tau....a 'royal' society of sorts with multiple castes.

he means energy shields on things like shanks that'd you normally see on fallen captains

 

[AmethystEnd]

Brutal. So is there nothing else to do with the motes of light? Why is the speaker even in this game lol?

Save your motes of light for Xur (npc who only shows up on weekends). You can trade 23 motes to him for exotic engrams. Way more useful than emblems/class items.

Although you run the risk of getting exotics for other classes.

I spent 46 motes of light this past weekend. I'm a warlock. I got an exotic titan chest, and an exotic hunter chest (the same one he was just straight up selling for 13 strange coins).

That was the angriest I've been at this game so far.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

He could tell you why he is in the game. He can also tell you why motes of light exist. But he probably won't ._.;

 

[lancerotomy]

gunsmith is selling rare fusion rifles if anyone has that exotic bounty. if not i'd recommend buying rare 10 fusion rifles anyway.

They have guys that send out rocket barrages that have a shield over their health, though each class had something like that(captain, wizard, minotaur).

The shields only really come into play when modifiers boost them from what I've seen though.

 

[Effigenius]

Yeah. I don't even have the bounty yet but went ahead and bought them.

Yeah me too. I have $172 left and only have nine. Oh well. I will make more money.

How much glimmer is 10 of them?

 

[David___]

How much glimmer is 10 of them?

16k

 

[ThirtyPlus]

I had just enough glimmer for all 10 fusion rifles!

Awww Yiss!

Which gun helps in taking down the enemies armor fast?

I have shingen-E right now and the armor barely reduces with that... other wise its a perfect gun to use in Multiplayer...

 

[AmethystEnd]

One last try I suppose. Anyone up for the level 28 difficulty of the weekly? Not Nightfall. Level 28 Sunsinger on PS4 here.

No I mean when you start doing level 24+ stuff (missions/raids/epic queen bounty quests). That adds some diversity but its not much (and usually more of a pain in the ass if you don't have a diverse loadout with different damage types).

I wanted some really bug like aliens (on venus they would go well), like wormlike things boring at you underground (and you could see them destroying the ground), popping out and chomping on you. Some multi-legged stalker alien that jumps at you and grabs you and if gets you from the front obstructs your view. An actual flying alien thats fast as opposed to a slow floater alien. Psions that use actual telekinesis to break off chunks of the world and toss it at you (something called a psion should not need a gun).

Just few wild examples. Seems they went with very tame choices rather than try to scare people with weird aliens.

Armor? Or you mean shield? If so, you might want to try using the proper element.

Orange = use solar
Blue = use arc
Purple = use void

 

[Yeezus]

Save your motes of light for Xur.

Or you can get a closet full of cloaks and look fabulous.

Oh. Yeah, I figured they were just the Cabal equivalent of a Captain; similar health and same strategy to take them down.

OT5 sometime in the morning. Good grief.

Ah, got it. I probably won't get to level 24.

I'd do it if I didn't have an early class in the morning. If you don't find anyone tonight let me know and I'll run it tomorrow.

Ive said it before but i'll say it again, they remind me of the big fat aliens from the 5th element just mean.

Function over form for me, any day. Besides, I haven't seen any cosmetic items from any of the classes that really made me go "HOLY FUCK, I WANT THAT," so far.

Appreciate the sentiment. Tomorrow my clan will be awake so a group won't be an issue. I just wanted something to do for right now. Literally nothing but pvp bounties left (and my exotic bounty which requires me to wait for Xur) for the next 2 hours and 45-ish minutes.

 

[blackflag]

Got Thunderlord tonight

Today was a good day. Thanks to some fellow GAFers for sticking through that nightfall.

I'm up for a weekly but I'm only 25

Ah yeah, 28 would be kinda rough. Thank you, though.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Goddammit, I'm poor after completing invective and buying the FR for my infinity bounty which I'm gonna try to finish tomorrow or aka later today after work.
Now going to bed before getting fired because I've been late for work this last few days lol

 

[Croc]

My loot from the raid yesterday/today and the Nightfall strike:

All new types of Legendary weapons for me and hands down the coolest shader out of the ones I have so far. Good stuff!

 

[daedalius]

Can you do the queens mission and get an epic even if you don't have the queens orders?

 

[Strider]

Just bought a couple fusion rifles from the gunsmith. Wehn I purchased them he said "Just got those in... Going fast."

I bet they are gunsmith. I bet they are.

 

[Icyflamez96]

that clipping UGH BINGIE PLS

If I can't look good while slaying kids in PvP, there's literally no point. lol

 

[JNA]

I wish there was matchmaking for heroic weekly strikes. Ugh

 

[SPACECADET]

lot of disconnecting tonight.

i had a question about the queen missions, is there only one item you can get from doing it? it looked like maybe a helmet, chest piece and class item were something you could get but i played 4-5 in a row and always got the helmet.

 

[Steel]

He meant on the really high difficulties like Heroic they get color coded shields that are a pain to take down if your gun doesn't match the color of the element or doesn't have an element at all. It's a pretty boring way to put elemental effects in, imo. It's like they felt like they had to have some kind of elemental effects because of the rpg elements at the last minute.

Actually nevermind that haha. I can get on now, i'm a 27 sunsinger.

 

[pringles]

Now that I've finally gotten my ass to Mars and fought the Cabal, I wanted to comment on the enemy design.

In short, a disappointing lack of imagination. We get three races of aliens and one of robots, and they're all biped humanoids (a few floating robots aside). Some are thin, some are chunky, a few have some extra limbs, but they're all confined to the same set of appendages. I wish we could fight some really alien aliens.

They are also pretty similar to fight. I battled the Cabal the same as I do the Fallen, just with a bit less melee combat as they hit hard. That's it; they still fall to headshots, still have the same mix of light/heavy/ranged types, and so on. I was hoping we'd have to blow their armor off in chunks or something.

There's no discernible difference in how I need to fight any of the races in the game, making all the effort that went into creating them feel somewhat wasted.

I think the races are all subtly different to fight in a good way. I'm glad none of them are as annoying as the Flood. But they could definitely add 1 or 2 units for each race that further differentiate them from eachother. Imo Bungie did a great job designing these races, lots of room for growth there.

 

[Suirrad]

Finally connected my VIta to my job's shitty wifi long enough to remote play and buy the 8 fusion rifles i need HAHAHAHAHA

 

[Elfstruck]

question about Queen wrath guys, so do i need to have the queen's mark to get reward? Cuz i did it it today with my friend twice and I got a legend helm while i was the pt leader. Then the second time, I didnt have any queen's mark and got nothing. Any1 know?

 

[AmethystEnd]

Actually nevermind that haha. I can get on now, i'm a 27 sunsinger.

Okay, well, do you have a 3rd who'd be willing to go? My PSN ID is AmethystEnd, by the way.

Thanks for the response, but we're just doing the weekly, not Nightfall.

 

[Chamber]

Another legendary engram, another level 16 helmet.

 

[Yeezus]

Whoops, misread. My bad, its getting late

 

[Pop]

What does resetting the raid do exactly?

If I already looted all chests.

 

[BigJonsson]

huzzah, 500 kill points with void damage complete!

 

[malfcn]

Sniper challenge done..now the canon..again.

 

[Papercuts]

Doesn't look like it right now.

 

[Tranqueris]

Anyone been getting an absurd amount of weird lag lately? I'll be playing and my gun will swing off to the side, like it's registering a move I made 5 seconds ago and it's trying to catch up.
