game is aetherized electric crack. suddenly i'm just collecting exotic weapons :D :D :D
 
So, I finally get a Legendary Engram from Crucible. Super pumped, I go decrypt it. I see a flash of yellow, my heart skips a beat. ANNNDDDD.

IT'S FREAKING SUNBREAKERS. I ALREADY HAVE THESE GLOVES.

Today, I have felt true hate for the Cryptarch.
 
Welp, I finally got to that spot in end game where I realize I need friends.

Sadly most of my friends bailed on the game cause of the reviews ):

Friend me, Gaf, I need your help.
 
Congrats, how many more shards till level 30? You might just be one of the first level 30s in game

Thanks man, appreciate it. I only need 17 more shards for level 30, which I could probably get in a day or two with some luck and the Queen's bounties. So it's a little odd that I lost my motivation but it was feeling too much like a job. I had an absolute blast while it lasted though.

Same here man. Hit 29 and now it's like... fuck man, I need a break from this game. Gauntlet or something maybe. Just been playing so hard since release and now having run the raid 3 times I'm just done lol. Kind of sad since the Queen stuff is going on now, but honestly the rewards are like... bad. Got 1 raid piece, lots of exotics / legs... I just don't know how much more of the game I can experience.

Was fun as fuck tho.

Haha yep. Agree with pretty much everything here. Maybe once the expansions drop, but it will be hard to get back up to speed with it. Probably lose touch with my raid group too.

The game just feels so damn good to play. Jumping around, lobbing grenades, blowing up asshole Pretorians with my exotic rockets, wiping out Goblin mods with Fist of Havoc devastation. Good times.
 
Best way to do Face your Fears (Walker)?

I paired it with the regular "Get Gold on 3 Public Events" bounty+Fallen Headshots+200 Ether things from Fallen+Fusion rifle double kills in Cosmodrome.

You have to spend 1.5 hours there to get all 3 kills/events but doing all 5 of those bounties at once made it worth it.
 
Best way to do Face your Fears (Walker)?

Go explore in Old Russia and get back to the place with the Strike. The Devil Walker will be there but you have to go to orbit and go back down each time to make him spawn again. A lot faster than waiting on the Public Event (and not having to worry about kill steals). Takes like 20 minutes total.

I'll help you out and anyone out there who needs help.

My Psn is Dhruv_Hanom.

I"ll be playing again from monday. Just drop a message whenever you need help :-)
 
Was all excited about getting legendary greaves/boots from a legendary engram... until I found out they were for the Hunter class.

Pop quizz hot shot. You got some sweet legendary boots for a class you don't play; is it faster to hope and pray for the right item or create and level up an entirely different character?

Go to Earth on patrol and just pretend you're doing the strike- follow that path. the walker will be there where it would've been in the strike. then kill, go to orbit, repeat

I don't remember where that Strike is, hah.
Will have to look up that area.

Wish there was an ingame map.
 
Also, I found out that the type of materials needed to upgrade the queen's armor are randomized. So hold off on leveling up a helm or chest plate until the right thing shows up(for me that would be spinemetal).
 
I got on an hour ago only to be disconnected 4 times in a row.

WTF? I swear this is starting to look like it's a problem on my end.
My friends and I have been having the same problem. Tonight one of us got disconnected so much they restarted the router. Got kicked next round and went to bed. Sigh

When you spawn in Old Russia, head back behind you through the building (you should see the area where you fight Riksis or what's his name, the Super Fallen on the first real mission in the game). Just head through there and when you get to the next open area, follow the road left and you should arrive at the Rocket Yards where the strike always starts. From there it's just the regular Strike route.
 
Got another Exotic Bounty. Should I go for Thorn or Invective?

The PVP part of Invective is way less frustrating and time consuming than Thorn. That was the main deciding factor for me.

Edit: Got confused, I don't think Thorn has a PVP section, but it has a Nightfall strike section. Invective is super easy all around.

Sorry to hear that; actually kind of a relief that it's not just me. The Destiny launch hasn't been a complete disaster, on the network/server side of things, but this is getting to be a little ridiculous.

Invective definitely. My new favorite shotgun. I can fire off 3 shots before most players get to their second, and it has decent Range upgraded.

Really, really disappointed in the Thorn. Sunk so many bounty challenges into upgrades and its still really useless. And it took me so much work to get :/.

I was pondering this today with my 3 legendary Hunter armour pieces sitting in my vault... and none on my Warlock :P

Nearly Level 2 in Crucible and not far off with Vanguard so that'll sort it I guess.

thorn and invective both have pvp sections. thorns last strike is way worse than anything you have to do for invective though

what? thorn has a pvp section. 500 void weapon something or others
 
Just saw this on Destinypedia:

I wonder, was the Reef at one point a town? (Hence the third person. The Fallen is merely a Guard, just like the Frames are in the Tower.)
 
How do you go about getting exotic bounties?

Invective. I hear it's a beast, and that the Thorn is kinda lack luster.

Invective, its better and super easy to do.
Thanks everyone. Heard Thorn wasn't really worth it in the end.

Yeah, I just remember abandoning two different exotic bounties at the 500 void kill points and the Nightfall strike sections. Too much work for weapons that weren't that great, and taking up bounty slots. The hardest part of Invective is not getting one shot in a low level strike, haha.
 
Man, you Thorn haters need to use it in PvP after getting both unique traits unlocked. Last round is a killer and the damage over time effect of each round will make you win every 50/50 exchange.
 
Thorn is the biggest piece of crap to grace my inventory. I put a ton of effort into 500 void kills in PvP and the heroic strike to unlock it.

It's garbage. Ugh.

Milk was a bad choice.
 
Is there any way to find public events faster? We roamed the moon yesterday for 30 minutes but no public event would ever start... :(

Well theres this: http://destinypublicevents.com/

Seems to be kinda spotty for me though. The only ones I know are constant are the Walker at the Divide every 0:15 and 0:45 of every hour, and the Warsat at Skywatch every 0:00 and 0:30 of every hour. (Both approximately, they tend to be a minute or two late, and once a blue moon the Skywatch event is replaced by a big mob conflict) When I want to get one done I go to one of those.
