Flawless lmao.

People are gonna keep finding new ways to farm/lootcaves as long as Bungie doesn't fix the lootsystem. There is something inherently wrong with how your game works if people prefer standing in one spot mindlessly shooting a cave instead of actually doing fun stuff, because that is not rewarding the player. Gamedevelopment 101 Bungie, appropiately reward the players for the actions they are doing.
 
Looked over the last few pages, but unless I missed something, didn't see it...

Has anyone posted a list of what Xur is rocking this weekend yet?
 
I liked the gun. I ended up getting Shadow Price later on though which I like more.

I also have the solar scout rifle which is godly.



That struggle is real.

How many materials did you get from breaking down exotic gear?

I got lucky today with the breakdowns 3 shards per :)
 
Why can't you auto-group on weekly strikes? Doesn't make any sense as its almost impossible to get a group without an ingame chat system to spam.
.

Makes zero sense. If you only have an hour or two to play good luck trying to get a group together (unless you actually have a bunch of real friends with the game). There should be bonuses for soloing this stuff to compensate.
 
What are people's Bladedancer builds?

Blink/Arcbolt/Armor Focus seems self explanatory, but are people benefiting more from ShadowJack vs. Quick Draw, Fast Twitch vs. Escape Artist and Encore vs. Hungering Blade?
 
Anyone have experience with the Bad Seed Down pulse rifle? Thoughts? I want to know if I should bother upgrading it or wait for something better.

Got it from getting to level 3 Vanguard rep. I dismantled it without using it once. Pulse rifles? Bungie pls.
 
re: queen's wrath event from reddit:

"Event was mismanaged in general. Should have been complete 5 bounties and then you get 1 story mission, then you get the guaranteed story reward. Over a 2 week period then most people would probably do 3-6 story missions spaced out over the 2 weeks where they get 1-2 pieces of gear to augment their stuff and then 10-12 shards. If someone did EVERY single bounty for 14 missions and a chunk of shards then good for them.

As it was, it was far too many shards.

As it is post patch, it's a zillion stories for nothing once you've gotten the 1-2 pieces you might have wanted.

They missed the inbetween. I think if my suggestion was what they had done initially everyone would have liked and enjoyed it over a 2 week period, bringing fresh interest to bounties and only a handful of stories."



maybe this was just a quick fix to limit in-game economy damage while they work on a better solution? hopefully they'll do something similar to this, otherwise, the queen will be completely useless to the vast majority of players even before she leave this first go around.

Queen Gear should give you something good for materials at least. I broke down one and all I got was Glimmer and Platesteel.
 
GAF pls help let's say I create a new character and even though he isn't leveled up for night fall but I have a couple people carry me through it would I be locked out to even start it
 
today started off pretty well. woke up early to grab suros from xur and got alpha lupi and a helm engram just for fun. helm engram was a second helm of inmost light with more strength, so i have to level it now and while doing bounties to level suros and the helmet i got an engram that turned into hawkmoon. not too shabby for 2 hours in the morning.
 
I'm contemplating if I should get it or not. I have been eyeing the hunter helm that gives me a 4th golden gun shot.

I actually just got this helm from the exotic engram. I'm a warlock, and was about to dismantle it, but said 'nah' and put it in my vault.

It's probably time I made a hunter.
 
Re: loot caves and farming

If Bungie wants us to do harder stuff and play "for real," there needs to be some more universal benefit for higher level content, not just the rewards for the playlist or daily bonus. Trying to selectively nerf methods of farming low level enemies is a losing battle.

Start by addressing the goofy inconsistency in Vanguard marks and faction: Doing a 15 minute strike in a playlist gives me as much faction as a 2-minute patrol mission, and as many marks as a 5-minute public event.
 
Pretty sure I can get the same "haul" as a loot cave from just playing Strikes for 45 minutes. I'll also get marks & rep to boot lol.

It truly is. If anything, we should get patches making loot more prevalent and easier to get while the whole loot system is re-evaluated.
 
Hmm the Suros Regime is tempting... but I wouldn't be able to use my Last Word. I think my Last Word/Doctor Nope combo is preferable. Right?

For the record, I really don't think exotic weapons should ever be on sale for any price. These should be rare. Now EVERYONE is going to be rocking a Suros Regime.

I agree but of course I bought it. It's totally not rare or special now though.
 
So is Suros a good gun? I was hoping for a Scout Rifle but I did want a new primary weapon. So???


Oh and just turned my exotic engram in and I now have two exotic items for both a Titan and a Warlock... I'm a Hunter.

Would it work better if I made a Titan and used him to decode the engram.
So disappointed in this whole "oh you'll grow into it someday. Just say thanks to grandma" engram system

it's just like the Queens reward items. how do they not come to the conclusion that people are going to farm those for shards?
 
You can find a back up secondary legendary. You can't easily grab this gun again, think carefully :)

Bear in mind folks, you may only be able to equip one Exotic at a time, that doesn't mean you should only own one. I have three with Suros soon to make it four, and I constantly swap them out based on how the situation demands.

Okay you just sold me to get the suros

If this new loot cave is anything like the previous one, you'd get far more loot within 45 minutes than you did playing strikes for the same amount of time.
