But Thorn naturally has a higher Attack rating, so it'll do more damage against high level mobs in PVE. Your hand cannon probably does do better in PVP. But I still like using Thorn even in Crucible. It's a lot of fun.

It does less damage but has 13 bullets in the chamber so the brutal Thorn reload makes up for it so even in PvE I get more done with it. I do actually want to try Thorn in PvP with the damage over time though.

After completing an exotic bounty, can you get another one?

You can actually have more than one at the same time even. Just random if it'll happen.
 
thank you (and Hunter-Zero)

About the queens event, I need to finish a single Queens bounty and then I will be eligible to speak to someone else to open the event?

Just pick some bounties, once you have done them, return to the bounty tracker, you can then go to the Kill missions (left side of the galaxy map), when you clear those you get a random legendary item (helmet, vest, or sniper rifle, ship schematics too).
 
I've hit a wall at level 24, nothing I seem to do will upgrade my gear.

Is my only option now finding groups for heroic dailies and weeklies?

You should be working on getting one of the factions to rank 2 and then buying legendary gear. Also do the queen stuff to get helm and chest legendary's. You'll go from 24 to 27 in a flash.
 
I'm 25, do I qualify for Raids? I might actually use a mic if it's required. But I doubt I'll say anything anyway.
 
I don't know man, things can hit at telescope range... then again PI feels like a railgun...

yo exotics in pvp is some real shit you guys. this is fun.

There's seriously nothing like surprising someone rushing you around a corner or even across a gap in the field with a solid wall of solar bolts.
 
Question for the AR guys:

What's the better Legendary AR, Shadow Price or Dr. Nope? I mostly do PvE

I have the ICE Breaker as a sniper and looking to run around with an legendary AR as my primary.
 
Ran my first set of Queen kill orders last night. Did 6 of them and they all gave me Head or Chest gear only. Is this normal? Does it cycle only between two armor types per day?
 
Question about the Exotic bounty for Invective: for the first part - "Complete a total of 5 strikes without dying" - is that in a row, or just complete a strike without dying 5 different times?
 
just 5 times. not in a row
Sounds like I should just avoid PvP until this Suros Regime nonesense is fixed. Can't possibly compete with my uncommon AR. (Lvl 20 Titan)
its really not that bad

people disliking the best feature of the Suros imo (the change in RoF) are really missing out on what makes it good. those harder hits pay off in laggy circumstances and the slower rate of fire erase most if not all of the already low stability issues as well - over a distanc, this is great. it turns into a mini scout rifle in that regard

either way.. i'm much more weary of a Shadow Price or HC user in general

5 in general, does not have to be in a row.

Where'd you pick up the Ice Breaker? That's what I'm looking for.

I found the Dr Nope last night. Still very early in the upgrade chain but it's a beast. Unstable atm, but upgrades will minimize recoil so I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays then. Haven't seen the Shadow Price.

Communication is the only way to complete it, just being able to respond with yes or no occasionally can be very useful.

You will probably get one-shot a lot at 25 though.
 
Here's my suggestion. Pick one exotic and keep it... upgrade it max and don't buy any more exotics. You'll need raid gear to hit level 30 so I wouldn't waste anymore mats or anything buying/upgrading any new armor once you hit around 28. No reason to waste it all to get to 29 when you're stuck until you get raid gear.

If you want an exotic helmet or gauntlets later, then don't buy the chest now. My advice is to pick the one exotic item you want and stick with it for the foreseeable future and work on raids.

That's what I plan on doing. I'm just trying to be reasonable and not waste coins unnecessarily.

I should probably wait for an Exotic gauntlet/helmet to pop up so I don't have to get rid of the Legendary light points I already have equipped, right?

i'm not an AR guy so I'm not totally familiar but

Doctor Nope has a fucking 72 round mag apparently. Compare Shadow Price's 25.

Experts feel free to correct me, but...
 
It'll be in two weeks, and the people will find another one and then it'll be another 2 weeks etc

Do patches still cost a 'submission fee', at least for XBL?

Because I want to believe I am denying some Bungie suit a fancy sushi dinner or an expensive hooker on the corporate card every time a treasure cave gets bopped.

It'll depend on the rolls you get on each, e.g., did you get the ability to upgrade stability on the Nope? I have a Nope and find it's very good for PvE, despite the low impact.
 
Hey guys

I got my first ever Exotic bounty today!

You can actually have more than one at the same time even. Just random if it'll happen.

The DoT makes every Crucible match hilarious. You can steal kills from teammates with it, if the DoT tick takes the last bit of an enemy's health. And people who have never faced it freak out when they notice their health draining. Last night on Blind Watch, I shot at a level 8 Titan. He got scared and ran behind a box, ran back and forth,and finally activated Fist of Havoc. There was no one within 10 meters of him; I was maybe 20 meters away on top of a building. As soon as he stepped out from behind the box, I shot him once more and he died.
 
Anyone want to help a poor lvl 26 hunter with the weekly strike in lvl 28? I have a solar legendary sniper and 10 ammo packs but i cant get to the boss on my own.

PSN is Pansargryning

You are but too weak... you will need a good team to support and revive you... don't even think in touch the relic shields or go on offensive :D

I did the Raid at lvl 26 first but I just felt confortable after lvl 27... 28 already make the enemies too easy :D

lol that's amazing, and you've convinced me it would actually be perfect for my rainy-day Sunsinger troll DoT build.

I think it's random I have gotten two helmets and a chest. All on different missions.

Solo'd 7 Queen's Orders missions. Got 5 Queen Robes and 2 Hoods. Is that all they give?


Hmm, this further makes me think its only going to do 2 different legendary drops per day. The other players i had in my fireteam also alternated between two types. I'm guessing todays drops will result in different armor. Edit: and with a chance for a rare drop mixed in??
 
Hmm. I wonder whether I should buy the Sparrow upgrades from Xur. Are there any screens/videos out in the wild? But then.. I might not get enough coins for next week if something I want comes out.
 
Shit, I am #teamhandcannon as well and I got the Thorn bounty the other night but haven't worked on it yet. I wish we had a fucking time frame of the positive dev note changes. The specifically called out the Thorn for being a shit exotic and to expect changes. Maybe I should just get it now even though it is apparently shit. I love my Regulator Mk. 56 though. I will never dismantle it. So many memories, so many precision kills.

Thanks. The only thing that concerns me about Dr. Nope is the lack of any impact. Shadow Price is much higher in that area...

Found ICE Breaker from a legendary engram. The Crypturd was having a good day that day. Thought the thing was a rocket launcher at first from the thumbnail--LoL. It is a game-changing weapon, no exaggeration. Good luck!

Yeah, 25 is too low, 26 is pushing it, 27 is good and 28 would be ideal. The difference a single level can make is pretty big.
