How do you get the queens gear?

Complete a Queen bounty, gives you a "ticket" (stored in your inventory), go to the map screen and on the left side you have the Queen mission. (Above the dailies etc). You can do one mission for each ticket.
 
Has anyone else had problems with a scout rifle's full auto mode perk? Sometimes it will just randomly stop shooting even though I'm holding down R2. And no, it's not because it ran out of ammo, lol.

Yes.

It happened with fusion rifles aswell in the beta. You need to hold the trigger down all the way the whole time. Releasing the trigger even just a tiny bit will stop shooting.
 
Anyone want to do the heroic daily? If not, I'm gonna get off the game and finish uploading this video.

Also, finally got it to where my best gear gets me to level 28. Guess I can dissemble the coat I bought from the Vanguard.

These things explain a lot about how the game turned out the way it did. It's been a while since I played a game that screamed "development hell" the way Destiny does. No dev stays great forever. Hell, look at the rotting corpse Square is these days compared to what they used to be.
Many of Destiny's flaws will hopefully get patched up as time goes on, but it's unfortunate that the storytelling will likely remain as is, in the base game at least. It really feels left by the wayside (and punted to cards on b.net that I haven't read and probably never will). Bungie has often struggled to tell stories well in their universes, but it's never been this bad. I really hope they revamp their approach with the expansions.
 
I don't quite understand "a request from Ikora part 2".

Do I lose points if I leave a match at the beginning? I'm also doing the Depleted Hand Cannon bounty and suck in the large maps. So I bail at the beginning of some.

But I just went 12/13 in a match and therefore should have only lost a single point on the Ikora bounty and I lost 10

It's not kills - deaths, it's

(kills with void damage) * 5 - deaths * 2
 
Are Legendary weapons all the same once you level them up all the way in terms of attack power? I know their abilities can be different, but if I have, say, one leveled up scout rifle, is there any point in me looking for another legendary scout rifle or is it a waste of time?
 
I've now come to realize that this game has been nothing but a tool for socializing with friends about how disappointing it is. I can't imagine the hollowness felt inside after completing the raid.
 
Oh you're THAT guy. Can't wait until shotguns get the nerf and less people are charging around the map with them the whole match.

Depending upon the map, yes, haha. It was Twilight Gap, so perfect for CQC and shotguns as a Titan. And as a Titan, my position is up close, so a shotgun fits the play style well.

Invective w/ Field Choke is certainly impressive in the range department. While I can't disagree that shotguns are powerful now and with range upgrades even further so, I think it's also a lot of the map design that calls for them in many situations. Many maps seem to have a lot of corridors and closed off areas where they shine. Many of the maps that rotate in the Rumble playlist especially.
 
As sad as it is to see the cave go away..it is a little bit of a relief. Now I can worry less about sitting in front of the cave, and actually do other activities.

haven't done much with this queen stuff yet, is it just the same mission every time, did it twice thinking I'd get a different one, but it was the same. Pretty lame its just the same missions over again, thought they might tailor them a little more with at least the queen voiceover or something.

Yeah, I kinda feel like I've done everything now.
But I don't want to stop playing!!!
Destiny <3

As someone who cleared the raid multiple times, completing the raid was only one goal. My big thing is to hit level 30 and to do it on heroic lol.

I have my game sitting on the orbit screen, pondering what I should be doing after Bungie took away my valuables.

I'd like to do the raid tonight at some point.
 
Should have stopped farming that cave by now anyway :P

Also just checked, and I've clocked over 101hrs. Dang.

I still needed the cave thirst, my hours are nowhere near yours homie haha...
I've clocked in less than 34 :P (I blame nagging clients and events for this lol).

After reading the patch notes, I actually like all the changes, they could have buffed pulse rifles and nerfed fusion though.... now PvP will be even more fusion death and my Shingen-E won't be as awesome.
 
Oh you're THAT guy. Can't wait until shotguns get the nerf and less people are charging around the map with them the whole match.

I'm playing with an "overpowered" basic green shotty and a "wimpy" scout rifle, so I guess it balances out. You should try the shotgun out before it gets nerfed, it's a very satisfying weapon. It's easy to see why people charge around the map with them the whole match.
 
I eat shotgun guys up with my Hand Cannon ALL DAY. Headshots. Hand Cannon is the best gun in the game, bar none.

9 times out of 10 I beat hand cannon users at any range with my Suros Regime. Gonna be a sad day when that nerf comes :(

I'll be going Scout Rifles, tho. They've always been legit since the Alpha.

Especially if you're a Striker Titan with codex in agility. The Invective shotty is so awesome in PVP.

I'm looking forward to Scouts being viable in PvP... I find them fun (as long as it's not a bullet sponge boss...then they just hurt my finger).

DS4 is not a good controller for prolonged Scout rifle use though... broken the trigger on one already, flimsy as fuck.
 
I've gotten an exotic helm and a legendary chest piece for my Titan (lv 16) while playing on my Warlock. I've been leveling him to try and get him to 20 so I can have 2 awesome characters. As soon as he hits 20 he'll go straight up a couple of levels hahahah.

I also got an exotic chest piece for a Hunter so I'll have to level her eventually too...

Yeah, I now have 4 legendary titan pieces from playing my Warlock. Looking forward to hitting 20 with my titan and shooting up a few levels immediately.
 
So how were people getting the emblem and shaders from the Queen already?
And is it worth even doing the bounty and mission now..
 
It is crazy how difficult some of the Queens Wrath missions are compared to others. We just threw ourselves at the end of the one on Mars where you fight the Kell for like 15 attempts. His guards were insanely damaging due to the Arc Burn thing that was on (which the mission should really tell you going in).
 
honestly that's one the most disappointing things to me. There are 4-5 tucked away areas on earth that have high lvl knights and such guarding them, but when you remember to come back at a high lvl, they were literally guarding nothing, not even a chest. One in particular is on one of those boats you can go down into a ways and there 3 hallowed guys 1 of which is a named guy that is hard to kill even at higher lvl. Almost looks like he's guarding a vault or something but again you kill him, nothing happens. oh well I guess dlc :(

Yeah, that leads to the Seraphin Vault. Probably one of the biggest missteps of the pre-release marketing in my opinion is when they said that once we leveled up, we'd come back to visit earlier areas with high level bosses. They never mentioned that you would need to level up and pay $20, maybe $40 if it's not until DLC #2.

Disclaimer...they could always unlock it as a timed event, so there's always hope!
 
Especially if you're a Striker Titan with codex in agility. The Invective shotty is so awesome in PVP.

I'm actually using Blade Hunter with the crouch to turn invisible. It almost feels like cheating when I lure somebody indoors and disappear. I think shotgun nerf is going to make the weapon useless. Shotguns need a bit of range in games that allow sprinting so your prey can't just escape after the first shot, but I can see how people who don't like playing with shotguns would be frustrated.
 
Got 2 legendary engrams in the same strike (doing the daily by myself)....

A crappy blue helmet and 3 motes of light...yay.

That leveled the dude so got a mail with another legendary engram and a blue engram.... Both gave me crappy blue.

sigh.

They're actually viable in PVP now, I don't get why they're buffing them, honestly. I've been rocking a legendary SR for mid to long range, and Invective shotty for short range and works out perfectly.

Was everyone at or over 26? I'm currently 25, and not sure if I should bother with Vault of Glass until I'm over 26.
 
I really enjoy playing invisible combat medic during Strikes. Not sure how the rest of you even manage without the comforting embrace of invisibility.
