I so need this helm!
Haha! That sounds great. Super excited for that helm. Do you know how long it lasts in PvP?

I'd add the Timebreaker (Legendary Sparrow) to that list as well. Hell I'd probably take that over the Vex rife tbh...
True. Also, judging from Destiny DB, there's also armor pieces that drop in Hard that don't show up in Normal, but perhaps that was just fragmented code.
True that. However, another more boring strategy would be to level another character who's the same class as your main. The moment it hits 20, you can transfer all your main's gear to it. This is how that one guy got to level 30 first.

Good points and I agree. CoD definitely has that carrot on a stick thing down to a T. I prestige to 10 in almost every CoD and just love always have something to progress towards.
Destiny, I'm rank 3 crucible, bought all the armor I need. Bought the Exotic weapon from Xur and have other legendary or rare weapons that I like, so no real reason to buy any of the cruicible weapons. So now I really technically have no reason to keep playing in the crucible except for fun.
Luckily for Bungie I am still having fun there though.
Not sure it'll last as long as I play CoD multiplayer though unless they give me something else to progress towards.
Buy items and dismantle them for shards.
How exactly do all these High Caliber / Armor Piercing, etc evolutions work? In the weekly heroic I tried both the High Caliber and the Range upgrade on my Suros is both of them staggered the Minotaur.
And I don't really notice much difference in trash mobs with the High Caliber equipped; the other evolutions seem to stagger enemies just as much plus almost give a 30% range increase.
My alt is level 19 and it definitely took under 10 hours. I just did nothing but quests, including the quests that came in the mail (which helped a bunch). Quests give 2.5 to 5k each and that adds up fast. My current timer says 7 hours, but I know that at least 1.5 of those hours were spent talking to my buddies while chilling in the tower.

Not sure. I'll have to join a rumble match with him to experience it myself. I would expect it to last just as long as a full strength flash grenade though.
You mean the defender Titan super?
Here's an idea on getting strange coins and loot at a ridiculous rate:
Step 1) get to endgame
Step 2)level another character that's the same class as your first one. Get this one to 20.
Step 3)level a third character that's the same class. Get this one to 20 as well.
Congrats, you're now able to get 27 coins a week and do the raid three times in a row while getting three times the rolls for gear that works for your class.
Keep doing this until you get a character maxed out and have everything you want. Delete the other two clones and roll a different class. Attempt to have fun.

I swear by that gun. It's amazing combined with Gunslinger/Gunslinger Trance etc. You can just run around one shotting everything in the head.
I might be just an idiot. Some players have a white bar on top of their HP bar. It's passive. Is it on every player?

if you've already opened the chests in normal, opening them in hard won't give you anything. you will still receive loot from the four loot drops in hard.
in our run through on hard this week though, the third chest actually gave us all materials. we think it happened because the person who opened the chest first hadn't opened any of the chests in normal.

This is how every current level 30 player got to level 30.
I don't do it because it sounds boring and I am lvl 29, so not too far behind.
legendary engrams now guarantee a legendary or exotic item.

SUROS Regime is the king of everything. My K/D went up .15 points since using it.
No I think he means the blue over shields.
titan gets one from melee kills and warlock I think gets one for some other ability.
Uh yeah it's on every player

Basically your engrams will decrypt at or above their rarity rate from the patch onward. Additionally, ascendant mats will now be purple rarity.
So a Purple Engram will be able to decode as a legendary weapon, armor, AssMat, or possibly an exotic. No more Purples -> Blue.
Do we know yet what each stat on the gun truly means?
What factors into the crit damage numbers? Is it a mixture of Weapon Damage, Impact and Range? Do yellow bar health enemies just take a flat 50% damage reduction? That's what I've seen with my MIDA Multi-Tool. Crit for 508 on trash mobs, (508/2 = 254 crit on yellow bar mobs). What I'm interested in is how the 508 is calculated. And it does die off when I'm far away.
It would be interesting to know if there's a formula.
EDIT: Just found this http://destiny.wiki.fextralife.com/Weapon+Stats, checking it out now.

Sounds rather impossible.
I'm just stupid. It's not like I've played weeks of PvP yet...
yeah that is just the 1st 50% of your health bar.

i would do this if grinding through the entire story with a low level character wasn't so boring.
A bit of a waste, to have 3 of the same class. Aren't we only give 3 character slots?
Anyway my goal is to do the same. have 2 there now.

Yeah, that's another possibility - but an extremely boring one. It does suck how rare those ascended shards are, though. Beyond that I have still to get any raid gear.
Realistically, I would need to level to at least 26 to be able to do the weeklies and dailies without a huge burden on the team.

You only get them from the two hardest difficulties. One for medium and two for hard.
Agreed. I got my titan to level 3 and i cant stand how slow my reloads are and how weak I am.
You can delete characters. The Raid will only give you gear you can use for your class, so if you have three warlocks for example, you do the raid three times and you'll have a ton of gear for warlocks.

Someone on Reddit posted some nice UI improvements for the game. Wish they would incorporate all of these into the game. All so simple yet effective. Although I can understand about not having the weapon swap out.
Loadout:
Common in other MMOs, this would let you select a different set of gear very quickly and easily. Items equipped whilst you have a given loadout selected are then associated with that loadout; switching loadout then changes gear appropriately.
Damage Type Icons:
Very simple, this one: show a small preview of the damage type icon on every weapon thumbnail. This makes swapping weapons around a lot more easy, since you no longer have to hover each thumbnail to bring up the tooltip with the full description to find that arc fusion rifle you're so desperately looking for
Quick Weapon Select:
Press and hold Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) in any context where square isn't already in use and it will bring up this interface. Pressing left and right on the directional pad will cycle between all weapons of this class in your inventory. Great for selecting special damage types during fights against majors/ultras.
Return to The Tower:
Does what it says on the tin; skip the loading screen for the director and go straight to the tower from the field.

YOU'VE WOKEN THE BUNGIE!
They will now patch out strange coin rewards for secondary and tertiary characters.

Yeah, hover over the harder difficulty levels--24 and 28-- and it should show that you'll nab 1 or 2 assmats.

Surous even though hard light looks and sounds so much better. Easier to keep on target and even though it is slower it has much higher damage per bullet.

You have to increase the difficulty to level 28.
Do you prefer a higher rate of fire with slightly less accuracy, or a slower rate of fire with slightly more accuracy?
Tbh, out of the Suros, Shingen-E or Hard Light, I think I'd be happy with either.

Yes. You can see your own has one.
You give your alt your main's gear. Just put it in the bank. Instant level 26/27/28.

I need to do this as well. Adding now
Hmm I hovered over them yesterday and never saw it. Will be on my to do from here on out.

i've leveled up a titan and warlock both to level 5. got bored both times after the earth missions.
bleh
range is a factor. probably way more of a factor in the future cause they are nerfing AR and shotgun range.
You can see though if you take a AR and try and shoot it at a very far away enemy it will do less damage. Shotguns have a very steep damage falloff, they only seem to do anything for me within melee striking distance.
