i'd be interested in teaming up with some people to do the daily and weekly heroic strikes tonight on ps4. i'm in the u.s. est time. 7pm or later. level 22. pm me if interested.
 
Does anyone know what level I'd end up with Legendaries upgraded until they need ass. shards, and an Exotic fully upgraded?

Basically I would like to hit Level 28 without wasting ass. shards.

Could be wrong... but I believe that'll put you at 27. You'll need one fully leveled legendary to reach 28.
 
How many pieces of Raid gear can be equipped and is that equipment what is necessary to get to level 30?

You need 3 pieces of raid gear and an exotic to hit 30.

Also, can someone please explain to me who Atheon is? I just see him as a techno bunny.
 
Anyone else having connection problems with this game? For the last few days I've been playing story missions and getting booted from the game world with random error messages like kingfisher and baboon. It's really irritating to have to sit through the story synopsis time after time without being able to skip it.
 
I have finally maxed both Hunter Subclasses! I just finished up my exotic bounty for the Bad Juju yesterday as well. Here is my current gunslinger build. My bladedancer build is closer to 28 and has 1220 defense I believe. I swap out the Knucklehead Radar for a Lucky Rasberry chestpiece which buffs the bladedancer's arcbolt grenade. Loving this game so much!

I also got "An Insurmountable Skullfort" from an exotic engram so I already know what I am building next. :)

Yeah I just had a quick number crunch.

I'm on 89 light, with four more available upgrades without using ass. shards (apart from the Exotic), and I apparently need 98 light for level 28.

I do have 45 ass. shards; am I being overly cautious?

He's time's conflux obviously.

We came up with the idea that he's the Trix rabbit. He managed to steal the children's cereal and hid in his rabbit hole for eons which would eventually become the Vault itself. This would explain why you are constantly falling and getting deeper into Venus.

The crystal formations in the final room are the trix cereal. They've crystallized.
 
If anyone is doing anything and wants a 29 hunter to tag along shoot me a psn invite I guess. Got a couple hours to kill.

PSN is aliencowz7 (edit : This is on PS4 by the way.)


On another note only being able to equip one exotic weapon / armor piece at a time is killing me, hate to start leveling an item and then have it sit around unfinished unless I force myself to equip something I don't want to at the moment. Could really use more vault space at this point too, up to 11 exotics and a ton of extra legendaries so all my space is spoken for unless I make mule characters.

45? Just spend those on the Raid Gear you'll eventually get doing the Raids. That way you get to 30.

... spend them how you want to spend them. Your choice.
 
So I was looking over the engram changes for tomorrow. Since blue engrams currently still have a chance for greens, would it be prudent to save blue engrams for tomorrow then where they will be guaranteed blue or legendary drops? I'm already saving all my cryptark packages for tomorrow in the hope fore guaranteed legendaries

Yes, save them for tomorrow so you have a better shot at getting legendaries from them, they will also upgrade your cryptarch and you'll get a rewards package that might have a legendary engram(s) in it.

I'm following Namikaze's idea and saving all my blue engrams. After the patch drops, I'm going to give them to the Cryptarch, level him up, and open the prize packages. I'm hoping this works to get me legendaries.
 
Do exotics give more shards on breakdown than legendaries?

Out of a crucible reward purple engram I rolled some exotic titan arms. I'm a hunter.

I could use the shards (if it gives at least three) to push to 28.

I have yet to even try the Raid!

I just don't want to plough them into gear that will be eventually redundant, particularly when plenty of people bemoan the fact that they are hard to come by.

They don't. I DE'd an exotic headpiece and received no shards at all. It wasn't upgraded, but still I think that's bullshit.
 
Regular legendaries can also give 3 shards, depending on your luck.


I'm in that strange situation where I got 3 ascendant shards and 35+ ascendant energy. Grrr...
 
I'm apparently blind and cannot find the divisive mind in the black garden for the bounty.

edit: Nevermind, it didn't spawn the first time for some reason.

cool thanks

Also another random question, I just got the exotic bounty for thorn (was a choice between bad juju or thron because I just finished the invective) and was reading the quest line for it. When it says you need to get 500 void kills in pvp, is that only with void weapons or would my grenades and novabomb on voidwalker count as well?
 
Trials of Osiris is a PvP game mode.

3vs3 and if you win,you advance to the next match. The more matches you win,the better rewards you get. But lose 3 matches and you are out.

It's basically "Arena" from Hearthstone,just not sure what you need to "buy in".

You get in with "tickets". If you look at the back of the Crucible playlist cards, you'll see one of the rewards for leveling them up is an increased chance for "Tournament Tickets" to drop. The tournament is the Trails of Osiris.

I need so much spinmetal. Is it me, or is it hard to find in big enough numbers for it to add up? I'm finding like one or two here and there.


Why do people call them ass shards? It sounds horrid plus there's no double s.

Should jst call them shards.

Uhhh, it's fun. Stop hating fun.

The divisive mind is the final boss right?

I had that same bounty, but it dinged before I even entered where you find the final boss.

Any source of void damage that kills will count, so any void melee / grenade / super will work.
 
So this exotic bounty for Thorn says to get 500 points in the crucible using void damage and if you die it takes away points.

Impossible? Seems impossible. I can't get it to go higher than 15 points, lol.

I haven't had Trix in a while, hmmm...

I don't think the hunter's abilities are that overpowered at all. As a hunter, I find myself getting titan smashed far more than anything ekse.

Yes, the Titans and Warlocks have a press to kill button. With Hunters, precision is required. Also, Bladedancer is a rather weak special. All it takes is two people shooting them. Looks cool yes, but it's not as effective as all make it out to be.

Any void damage counts. I did 7 matches last night as a defender titan with a void sniper and void LMG which got me 250ish of 500.

It isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Just camp like crazy to preserve K/D.

Yep, it counts. So does the melee afaik.
 
Always Tuesdays. if you go to Bungie.net and go to your "legend" -> "advisor" you can see the countdowns.

Tuesday early morning EST?

Tomorrow. Always Tuesday.

I'm in a pretty comfy position now. One way or the other, I'll be able to do the heroic raid in the coming days.

The Destiny weekly reset happens Tuesday at 5am EST (2am PST, 4am CST)

thanks for the replies!

thought it was today lol
 
For people who don't have any immediate plan to do the Raid on Hard mode yet are Level 28, there is no reason to fully upgrade weapons to 300 Attack, correct?

Me at 28 versus an enemy at 28, I will deal the same damage to him if my weapon is at 300 Attack compared to 267 Attack, correct?

Only the higher Attack matters if I am going up against Level 29 enemies and above.
