Ummmm I am sorry, but certain materials are DEFINITELY not easy to get.

Those Ascendant items (Shards and Energy) are a bitch and a half to get.

Sure the more generic items can be found in ample supply, but those extravagant materials are scarce as hell.

I love doing loops/routes with my Destiny time.

Yeah that's the only issue I have. With my limited free time, I really don't want to spend it farming these supplies. But I also want to level up my equipment.

I wish there were more structured gathering missions or something.

Ok thanks. Damn seems almost impossibile to reach that Rank 3 for me. Some bounties take a lot of time to be completed and it's not like I can focus all my playtime on doing them :(

It's definitely hard, and it forces you to play in the Crucible unless you basically do all of the Queen's Vanguard Bounties daily from the day it starts until the day it ends, according to the math.

The weapons actually aren't really worth it. The armor is where it's at, for pushing past that Level 24/25 plateau. Keep doing the bounties to get more copies of the "Queen's Orders." which allow you to get loot from doing the Kill Order special story missions. Took me about 10 tries but I finally got the Queen's Guard Robes for my Warlock, lol. Now all I'm trying to do is level up to Vanguard Level 2 so I can finally buy some Legendary boots from the Warlock Vanguard to get myself to a more comfortable level 28 for the Vault of Glass.
 
Group finished last boss of vog without me. Will it apply to my saved instance of the game as well?

Doubt I can find anyone to finish it as is however

You guys do realize each material is so fucking easy to accumulate if you do loops/route posted on youtube

Shit
Look at my stash:

If you can't get roughly 60+ materials from the routes within 30-45 minutes, you are doing it wrong

The only people that are doing it wrong are Bungie.

I cannot understand where the hell he got so many of them from. I haven't accumulated that many after playing from the start.

I got 12 ascendant energy just from completing the Nightfall this week. Sometimes you just get lucky.

I've also had way more than 17 shards. (Spent most on upgrading) It's really not that high.
 
So I am running to run the raid tomorrow around 2 central time. First time doing it. Level 26 Bladedancer. Anyone down to do it as well on PS4?
 
Attempted soloing the nightfall. Got to the boss room pretty easily and died cause I didn't get to the hidey hole quick enough. Totally doable but kinda bummed and not sure I want to try it again right now.

Imagine if they could find a way to implement some sort of looking for group or match making for raids, in game, instead of needing to use an outside third party website. I bet that'd be really useful.

Having just played through the raid I totally understand why there's no matchmaking for it. It was an amazing experience (one of the best I've had in gaming for a long time), and it would have been ruined if just 1 or 2 guys didn't have mics or were douchebags that dropped out in the middle of it or any number of other things.

The way I see it there are two things that are bigger problems than the raid not having matchmaking.

1. All the best ideas seem to have ended up in the raid and nowhere else. Makes it a lot of fun and very fresh, but they seriously couldn't have included some of these ideas in the "campaign" or in the strikes, even in simplified form? I feel bad for the people who will never play the raid and miss out on it.

2. The Strikes. They are not only way too few, they are too easy and too similar to the average story mission. Why aren't these like a 'raid-lite'? At least they are improving the rewards in the coming patch, but a couple of additional strikes are desperately needed, preferably a few that take some cues from the Vault of Glass and offer a challenge that feels different.

So people are doing it wrong because they're not spending hours going around in a circle opening chests without any challenge or entertainment, so they can eventually upgrade their weapons and armor, so they can replay the same levels they've already beaten, but on a higher difficulty?

I'm still playing Destiny because it can be fun to play with a pair of friends, but being forced to farm does not sound like fun. There's simply not enough here.

Good design would have the Strikes teach you mechanics, strategies, coordination for the test (raid). But this is Destiny so the Strikes don't really do anything for you on all that and they throw the kitchen sink at you during the raid anyway.

Condescending?

For 4+ OT's I have shown so many GAFfers loops

Spinmetal, Iron Relic, Helium

Youtube has many videos of routes, I just have good muscle memory of all locations for the loop and where they can spawn

For Venus: after patrol starting point, go to the left, until you reach the first wide open space with enemies in it. Just around the area boundaries, finding caves with chests and shit in the wild.

For Mars: directly ahead of patrol starting point, run around the area boundaries, finding caves with chests and shit in the wild.

For Earth: in the starting point of the strike, run around the area boundaries, finding rooms with chests and shit in the wild.

I don't have a good area for the moon.

Farming for materials is the worst fucking shit. Anyone proud of that accomplishment is certifiable.

Even if you prefer Bladedancer (which I do), it's pretty much useless in the raid. And at level 26 your super is just gonna get you killed. Gunslinger is the way to go.
