I know the vault of glass is glitched right now to where the mission just never ends, but are we supposed to get some stuff afterwards in the post match screen?

You get the rewards as soon as Atheon dies. There is no end reward screen and as far as I know that's not a glitch. It's just like that.

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

What's your distance? Range falloff is pretty granular. It's been tested heavily.

About I don't know two or three character lengths with a scout rifle? Or step/headbob animations, it was rather close.

edit: NVM, I am wrong, oh well.

 

[Bladelaw]

Thanks wallach and hawkian for the help on the nightfall and first guardian problems getting the same exotic helm I bought from xur in the first p,ace.

 

[Fushichou187]

i can't



even

This made my evening. Haha congrats, sir!

 

[Orthogonal]

I think so, they seem very rare now. Should have increased them, not decreased.

Odd, must be a bug. Last week or so they announced that public event frequency would be doubled.

I would like to see more too, but with the exception of Loot Cave 1.0, I would rarely see anyone else join in and have to tackle it solo. Game world's need a lot more guardians in general. The instances feel like ghost towns for me most of the time when solo.

 

[kittens]

Dat 50 VIP Grimoire bonus

Bungie why ;_;

Huh?

 

[Papercuts]

Yeah, public events seemed off today. I had the bounty for it but was only able to see one, had no problems doing it before.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Not until the world resets on Tuesday.

Edit: They really should get rid of the weekly caps if they are going to make random legends/exotics more common imo.

Ahh okay :/, thanks.

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

It's a shame I'll have to use marks to buy an actual legendary heavy weapon. I'm pouring in exotics and legendaries, but I've never possessed a legendary heavy...



Eh, Hard Light isn't that impressive. It doesn't come into its own until you get the Perfect Balance talent.

Have you used Hard Light with perfect balance? What are your thoughts on it? How does it compare to a Shingen-E or the Suros?
I like the gun aesthetically and want to know if its worth it after the stability upgrade.

 

[TheBear]

Where is Xur hiding? I can't find him

 

[eneko]

Where is Xur hiding? I can't find him

He's chillin in the sketchy hangar lounge by Dead Orbit.

 

[Fushichou187]

Where is Xur hiding? I can't find him

Lounge area downstairs from the shipwright and Vanguard quatermaster.

 

[blackjaw]

I refer to that place as the boom boom room.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I just beat the second to last story mission on Hard mode, solo, without dying. And then double blanked on the mission rewards at the end.

I did hit level 20, so that's something. Gonna do the last story mission and then the last strike on Mars, and probably call it good. At least for a while.

There were some fantastic firefights on the way through the double skyscrapers.

The story still makes no goddamn sense.

 

[Anoregon]

So I went with bad juju. Anyone want do do a weekly heroic/nightfall so I can get the first step out of the way? I'm a level 26 warlock, PSN Anoregon.

 

[Lostconfused]

I do have to say however the way damage works in this game is counter intuitive since you do more damage to higher level enemies. Unless of course the damage done is a fixed percentage of the HP pool rather than an absolute value.

 

[StewboaT_]

I just had a genius idea: green items should sometimes dismantle into building materials like spinmetal, relic iron, etc.

Hire this man!

It's super weird in my opinion, at least in how they communicate their weapon stats. When it says "Upgrade Damage" people expect it to do more damage regardless of what they're shooting at which won't always be the case. Unnecessarily obtuse.

 

[TheBear]

Thanks for helping me find Xur guys, I can't afford anything he's selling though

 

[HighOnPCP]

I just thought about how bummed I still am that there is basically no exploration in Destiny like, at all. I'm just gonna say I would pay for a DLC that ONLY brings new "secret" locations to the game where you encounter difficult enemies and actually get rewarded something unique at the end. Just imagine finding "The Grotto" (and it being actually harder to find/get to) and you get murked...you level and gear up and go back with 2 friends or whatever and kill them alllll. You get something awesome for it. I don't know...

It is very poorly communicated because it does say "upgrade damage" and equates Attack Power with more damage. However the description for attack is 100% accurate in stating that it does more damage against higher level opponents and mentions nothing else.

 

[malfcn]

For Hawkmoon, I would:

• Dismantle all my existing exotics and legendary gear and start from scratch
• Be reset to level 1
• Be forced to only use Hawkmoon for 20 hours and unable to swap weapons
• Give the Cryptarch a foot massage
• Solo 10 Nightfall Strikes
• Never post here again

if anyone from Bungie is reading this, create your challenge, I can't imagine what I wouldn't accept. I need it. I care about little else.

I have in fact been saving unique-looking pieces juuuust in case it ever happens.

Time of decryption. It's honestly nothing like Diablo. They really screwed up in how the items are conveyed to the player.

Hawkian..

If someone just sent a friend request in response to my above post, I got it, but PSN is screwing up and immediately made it disappear...

Really all they would need to do for Attack is just change "Upgrade Damage" to "Upgrade Attack"; the former basically encourages you to ignore the detailed description because everyone intuitively understands what "damage" means. "Upgrade Attack" would actually encourage players to read the description to understand what that implies. I think they tried to make it less confusing but instead made it moreso.

 

[Menome]

Public events got gimped right? I hardly get any as of late when some days ago it was every 10min or so

Public events occur at quarter-past and quarter-to the hour. Tested this week when farming Devil Walkers for Queen's Wrath.

 

[Shrennin]

Anyone have any ideas on how to get ~5 strange coins before Sunday? I want to try and get that exotic auto rifle before Xur leaves. I've already done the max coins from the weekly strike, and I don't think I'm able to do a Nightfall Strike yet, so anyone have any other ideas?

I've got 5 Strange Coins by doing the Nightfall Strike, actually...

 

[lazybones18]

Completed the Super Good Advice bounty. The recoil...sheesh. Looks like I'll be crouching when aiming this fucker

 

[David___]

Huh?

Once you do 50 assassination patrol missions you get an in-game bonus that says

"Additional resources are now granted for completing City tasks at any destination."

I actually just realized how late it is, so I'm heading off. I'm gonna look for a group tomorrow though so I'll see if you're on

 

[Shrennin]

I *might* attempt the Nightfall Strike tomorrow although I'm only level 27. I'm not sure if I'm quite ready yet (I wanted to try to be at 28 before I tried it). We'll see though.

Find a spot to farm for engrams and decrypt them to raise your cryptarch level. When he levels up, he gifts you a legendary package. You get lucky there.

Alternatively, pvp. Lots of it.

Lastly, patrol mars. There's an area you can farm for chests near the spawning point (spawn, take path left to building in starting area to get there)

That's pretty much what I was thinking as far as all I could do -- I'm leaning toward patrolling mars just because I've had luck there before. If I liked the PVP more than I would give that a try, but the PVP in this game is so good and bad at the same time that it's mind boggling.

Hell I'd do that just for Last Word.

yo, wtf does it mean when someone on your friends list (Xbox) has the little arrow and box icon on the right side of their listing in your friends list?

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Thanks for the friend requests, Gaffers, but PSN is broken and wouldn't let me add anyone.

Just managed to cheese Riksis anyway by myself, but was not easy.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Are there any specific locations or anything for The Last Word being more likely or is it an entirely random Exotic drop?

Has anyone had it show up in an Exotic bounty??

 

[ItsAllGoodInMyHood]

can you cheese nightfall still or it was patched?

...emblem

 

[Hawkian]

Congrats!

Haha no way! Nice Hawkian!

Hawkmoon for Hawkian. RNGesus be praised.

SoB got the Hawkmoon. .

That was epic, Hawkian lol

Haha congrats hawkian

Holy shit Hawkian, ha ha! Congrats!

Hawk just got hawkmoon from decrypting all those engrams :-D

Hawk got Hawkmoon. funny

Got that hawk swag.

Congrats, Hawkian. I love the Hawkmoon

Haha nice work Hawk

Congrats dude

Fuckin' nice! We in there!

Congrats Hawk

Thank you guys. Thanks for taking part in that with me, I'm quite sure it wouldn't have happened had you not been there

I still can't believe it. I'm half-sure I'm going to wake up tomorrow, log in and see it replaced with a green pulse rifle or something. hoooo boy.

Hawk did you have a Hawkmoon before? You have been praising it for awhile, congrats my friend.

Oh you'd have known if I had it. It's the only exotic I really cared about for obvious reasons, and I love hand cannons in this game.

No congrats from me. I wish his Guardian a multitude of deaths. So jealous ((((

Not even mad. been there my friend. Somebody even made me listen to them dismantle it D:

Congrats Hawkian, now show us some gameplay with that thing.

Hope you like our tear through that nightfall!

Thanks for streaming your experiment btw.

Definitely looking forward to streaming more in the future.

About that plea? Breaking everything down now?

Lol! That was for a guaranteed Hawkmoon- unless you're saying Bungie delivered this one to me? This came straight from the impenetrable depths of RNG hell. Somehow.

ahhhhhhh such a good night.

 

[dengatron]

leveling exotic weapons takes ages. especially non primary weapons. i'm 80% done with suros but after that i have a hawkmoon, invective, pocket infinity, and bad juju all to get to at least their second perk. there's not enough xp in a day. i miss afk farming at a loot cave that i didn't have to use a scout rifle for.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

So, do teams auto balance after each loss or do they stay the same?

Cannot say I'm liking PvP.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Just saying that there are loads of hidden things in the game.

 

[Captain_Cold]

I have a question and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere online.

If I already beat the raid and obtained all the loot on normal mode, can I play hard mode and get more loot in a single week or does the loot lockout apply for both difficulties?
