Destiny |OT5| New patch out Tues., Master Rahool reportedly crying into his robes

So. I've done the nightfall this week and the weekly heroic. Let's assume I have all bounties done for the day as well... What's the best way to get Vanguard points? I'm 1466 points away from Vanguard rank 3 and I want to get there soon so I can actually start spending these marks.

Bouncing in between Vanguard playlists and Patrol, I would think. Patrol can get you up pretty quick if you focus on the assassination missions, as they dole out 25 XP for Vanguard, rather than the usual 10. That's also as many as completing a strike on Vanguard Tiger gives you, which is a bit fucked up.
 
Is there any rhyme or reason to finding public events?

Say I need to gold a pub event today so I go to the moon patrol.

I'm driving around the moon looking for an easy event but nothing pops. Should I keep waiting here or try a different patrol?

go to The Divide on earth at X:15 and X:45

Well, maybe your aim is better than mine then. I still hate that super in PvP. :)

That's fair. Keep in mind that the cool way to counter a Bladedancer is activating YOUR Arc Blades in kind and have an anime swordfight in the middle of the map.
 
So I did two queens bounties last night and got the same drop. Are the drops from it only set to a few things or should it be random?
 
Light is way better than stats so if you have already upgraded you gear than there is no reason to pick that amour.

Both true and untrue. I certainly wouldn't dismantle a superior, but not upgraded piece of equipment. I would hold onto it until it's capable of replacing the inferior piece I'm using. Swap it out when turning in bounties for XP.

That said, I'm just not wasting shards on non-raid gear.

Dunno, I'm just used to these things actually being accounted for. Getting the best legendary ring, but with the worst possible roll, isn't always better than a generally worse ring with a perfect roll. If my current helm doesn't have the stat spread I want, I'll replace it in a heartbeat if the one I just got does. That large chunk of bonus super or grenade charge instead of melee(or vice versa, whatever you're after) is also important.

And a lot of people seem to only be looking at the level, I've explained the difference between faction armor to many people that straight up didn't even think about Int/Discipline/Strength which can double your super or whatever charge rate.
 
I would like to see how it would play out if pulse rifles had much more accurate hipfire like a Halo BR. I feel forced to ADS for every weapon I use.

In an unrelated note, I got an exotic helm from a legendary engram last night!
 
In honour of the new OT I made a quick gif of the "Precision kills with this weapon cause the target to explode" perk.

So much fun.

Damn, what perk is that from? Gun or class? and which weapon? That looks awesome.
 
Opened up a legendary engram and finally got a legendary handcannon. I have the Thorn but I just hate that one so much :/

Anyway, stats wise this one doesn't look as good as the Lord High Fixer which I was planning on buying but it seems solid. It's called The Devil You Know. Any impressions?
 
The title is my method of upgrades anymore, if I happen to get lucky while farming vanguard marks well that is just a bonus.

It's random, but as far as anyone can tell, it's a really small pool of drops to draw from, especially with the rarity of getting one of the weapons on top of the two pieces of armor you guaranteed to get one of.

Don't have it but I really want a primary with radar active while ADS perk.

the mag size of 12 alone makes it one of the best HC out there, I hope your random perks are good though.
 
Got my final piece of legendary armor. Now I just need a fuck ton of ascendant energy and shards.



Have two exotic weapon bounties as well, but that shit is taking forever. Fucking 10 rare fusion riffles...

Almost ready to check out the raid.
 
Welp, does the exotic hand cannon bounty always give you Thorn? Just got Corrupted one to kill Xyor and I hear nothing but bad things about it =s Given I have zero exotics besides Titan helmet should I bother finishing bounty >.> Or are the negatives exaggerated.

I'm still planning to finish it. I can't imagine it's as terrible as everyone claims.
 
I am so far behind the rest of you. I just hit 23 and decided to start cave farming... I feel like a volunteer at a rehab clinic and I am now becoming a junkie.

I've seen a lot of people that are happy with The Devil You Know, but don't have one myself. Also can vary with the abilities it rolled with. It has access to some nice modifiers like Crowd Control, but whether it rolls with it when dropped is random. Its base stats seem decent enough.
 
Anyone making a raid group for tonight?

I'm a level 27 Hunter, 4/4 legendary armor and primary. On Xbox One, tag is TrackZ.
 
This is unplayable right now for me.

Trying to do a bounty, and the Preview now thinks I need an update every 10 minutes.
Doing the WARSAT bounty and at 90% it kicks me..again.

Gutted.
 
Dax, did you get a new scout rifle yet? I hit rank 3 with vanguard last night and got a legendary scout rifle as a reward:D it makes up for getting nothing in the raid.
 
Just came here to say how much fun im having with this game, is just pure fun, while some people have criticize the story, I think the lore has great potential, but for me that comes in a distance second, the gameplay and Background music are soo good it makes me want to keep coming back for more.

I just reach level 23 last night and i have to say i love the light levels concept.
 
In both PvE and PvP. Arc Blade mostly just gets you killed in strikes, since it takes a while to kill anything above grunt units and in PvP it leaves you too open unless everyone is grouped together.

But you have knives and capes!

....as he goes BladeDancing

You say that and then I slice up a whole team in Control with my super.

Maybe you missed that little thing called Arc Blade that makes you slice around for half a day while brushing off rockets like they were mosquito bites?

All valid points.

I'm a lvl 28 Hunter myself. I like the ability to go invisible while crouched. The Arc Blade is cool ,though a lot of people seem to be anticipating it now. The Hunter is definitely the most stylish of the three.

In terms of Strikes it has it's uses. I use the special to go completely invisible in order to rescue teammates, or get out of near death situations. It's a shame it doesn't have a damage bonus for firing while invisible.

God that sucks, I had a similar issue and had to re-download the game. I used Diablo 3 to go through the withdrawl while the game downloaded and the session with Diablo 3 turned into resentment towards Destiny because I kept getting good loot.

Damn you RNGesus, You died for my higher loot drops but for the wrong damn game.
 
This is pretty cool. You know when entering the black garden the key thing splits into seemingly random pieces?


Maybe not so random.

Oh wtf? Rank 2 Queen rep needs 3000?

I bet Bungie is going to have all 6 bounties require the class item equipped for the rest of the event.

Probably... Good thing I only need 50pts to reach rank 1.

The only bounty I have left is "get 15 headshots using a sniper rifle" in PvP.. Not even touching that.. Tomorrow I guess.

I finally got the Icebreaker :) From a Legendary Engram. Delighted. It's a beast.

Lucky bastard.

Best sniper in the game from what I've seen.
