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.

I still don't understand why we can get benefits from killing level 1's (or 4's or 5's) as level 20+. I swear in alpha or beta there was a point where I'd get nothing from the level 1's, but that just might be bad memory + I was capped at 8.

I guess it's to keep the world alive, more, and I actually appreciate it....it just feels odd.

Damn, how is Xur not offering a helm for Titans? I have legendary gear for everything but helm which is rare. Was really hoping to get an exotic helm that would push me to 28. Woe is me. :(

Could roll the dice on the engram. There was a helm last week for Titan (though specific to Striker).
 
I basically got everything I wanted, now I can causally play the game without pressure. I got me the Regime from the raid last night and bought the knucklehead radar from good ol' Xur. Can't wait to go into a frenzy in Iron Banner.
 
One other thing about the loot cave and farming in general - it's not the most fun way to play the game, but it's really easy to do on Remote Play while you're watching TV in a way that Crucible matches and Strikes aren't. So you know, it has that going for it.

If you hold off you might not get the chance for it again from Xur anytime soon :p

Bungie: "Today the Auto Rifle is too effective at long range, even beating Scout and Pulse Rifles in some circumstances. Expect stability and/or damage adjustments to the Auto Rifle to address this in the weeks ahead."

No ETA on when the nerf is coming...

They also said a buff was coming to some Exotics. I dont think the Suros is getting nerfed, being that its exotic.

Yeah there were always all these AFK Guardians standing near the last loot cave all the time, they were just sitting there collecting tons of experience and whatever engrams you get from RNG...

Well, AFK isn't the best method for cave farming. It provides some benefit, but it's minor compared to an active cave farmer.

Plus, in comparison, going AFK on Strikes is a super douchy thing to do.

You could punch the AFKers and move them back slightly till you knocked them off the cliff.

Was fun.
 
Has anybody compared the MIDA multi-tool to the Proxima Centauri II? I'm having trouble determining which to main. MIDA has less impact and does less damage per shot but has a higher RoF. The MIDA has the fastest reload possible too. According to the stats, both will max at 300 though MIDA started with higher base damage. This is primarily for PvE right now unless the scout rifle boost is significant for PvP.

Got this from Xur's exotic engram. Even matched my class! 1st exotic

This is what I want. I will be making sacrifices to RNGesus in hopes of this being bestowed upon me.

He did last week?

Also, is the Exotic Engram for helm this week? And if so, has anyone gotten a Titan helm that was NOT Daft Punk or the one he sold last week?

I would camp and no one would stop me. I'd only get up if enemies started pouring out the cave and got too far. I was like some old man sleeping on a porch with a hunting rifle.

I wouldn't shoot in the cave, but I'd make sure the cave worked.
 
Any tips for finishing the Pocket Infinity exotic quest to kill 200 critters with a fusion gun in nightfall? It's taking..FOREVER. Also, I don't have a solar fusion gun :\

Yeah, save your coins and don't get the rifle, especially since they're nerfing rifles anyway.
Click to expand...

Yeah I was thinking about this too. Sometimes these things and up being pretty negligible, but it might be wise to wait and see.

Afrocious said:
Do a raid, pray to RNGesus you get the chest pieces because fuck loot tables m i rite? and then throw away the queen's guard plate.

Also, I think I'm sticking with my Shadow Price and that you should stick with your Grim Citizen because they're both legendaries. They have way more flexibility than exotics.
Click to expand...

Yeah just hit 26 so I should have better Raid luck than I did at 24. But, you're probably right. Seems like I'd be taking 3 steps back now, to take a half a step forward later.

Haven't sunk any resources into the Queen's guard plate yet, so at least I won't be taking a loss if I decide to go Alpha Lupi.
 
Off to find Xur and buy the SR! Gonna use it all I can in PvP before the AR nerf. Not gonna upgrade it and get the slower fire rate while ADS ability though .Tried that on one gun before and hated it.

So how many shards to you get for dismantling exotics? More than a legendary I'm guessing? I might takea chance with the engram and just curiuos if I get a duplicate.
 
Oscar said:
I'm in the same boat.

Fully upgraded GCIII so I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on the Suros.

Have 31 coins and 30 motes. Level 27 Titan, all legendaries just need shards to hit 28.

Might just gamble on the exotic Engram.
Click to expand...

Yup same here, have GCIII, will skip Suros

Getting normal rewards from low level content is okay, but only if the rewards on the high end are more motivating. Right now, that's not the case.

I did it the hard way by getting 5-10 kills at a time. lol

If you don't have a solar gun, you might just want to wait for the next one maybe? The good thing about this one is that it's really fast to get to the start of the strike at least.

They could easily address farming buy just making mobs drop gear equivalent to their level.

1-20 for some uncommon and common drops 20+ for rare and legendary.

Its so strange it already works kind of like this (can't get legendary drops till you are 20+) but then they drop from everything encouraging you to farm trash mobs.

Have you done the weekly heroic strike on level 28 for 9 coins? I'm going to do it tonight.
Click to expand...

Man I'd do it with you but the reason I can't get on is because I'm headed to a wedding in NYC for the weekend. I'm going to miss out on Xur this weekend but I'll be back Monday and I'll be ready to accumulate those coins in advance of his visit next weekend. Hopefully he has something just as good then.

I would definitely be up for that (I'm lv26 hunter), but won't be on until 8-9pm get.

Aww, I'm in CST so i wont be on until 5-6PM CST (which I think is like 3am for you) :P

Add me though just in case we are on at the same time at some point, and we can do it.

Just got my very first Legendary engram drop (at lvl 26 mind you). Excited as I was, I went to Rahool.

Lvl 16 blue.

Then I went to the Hunter Vanguard and bought a legendary piece with marks.

Fuck you rahool :<
 
Hypothetically - would a Magic Find/Rare Item Find stat added to weapons or something help the loot system? Genuine question.

That's what I was thinking. Considering Class Items do nothing except for convert rep for factions, I don't see how this is farfetched.

I love scout rifles, where did you get Vision of Confluence??
Click to expand...

Gotta beat the final boss of Vault of Glass. And even then its random.
 
My opinion of this game has waned from love to just like over the past few days, as its weaknesses became very glaring, from the same repetitive grind that pushed me away from Guild Wars 2 to the many exploits that are dotted through the game. This really isn't the Bungie I know. It almost feels rushed.
