Hmm, I have a package from Dead Orbit for hitting rank 3 just sitting with the post master. I guess I'll just open it tomorrow, since I also have 2 packages from leveling up Cryptarch. It'll be more fun opening up more stuff at once!

Yeah, but once you open the letter it'll be an actual item, not an engram. I got a legendary hand cannon from Dead Orbit yesterday. Awesome since I likely would have bought it with crucible marks.
 
I *think* it might be quickest to do heroic strikes. Level 22 counts as 2 for the bounty, the nightfall counts as 3 (I believe).

What I'd do is the current weekly heoric strike at level 22 (venus/kill the nexus). This one is super easy with a solar weapon. Kill the 3 servitors and literally run past everything else until the final boss. Once at the final boss, get up into the cheese spot as seen here:

I am well aware of the cheese spot. Its what I used to beat the strike at level 28 despite only being 25 myself. Didn't know it counted for two, thanks!
 
WHOA! WHOA WHOA!

The hell?

What are the doing to purples with the new update? Can someone please elaborate on this?

Don't just put this out there without explaining it to me! PLEASE!

I feel like a lot of casuals will be pissed off come Tuesday because they didn't get the memo. Should have been an in-game PSA instead of notes on bungie.net.
 
Anyone willing to help with the Xyor section of the Thorn bounty? PS4: Akai_XIII, already at Phogoth, just need help doing the last bit.

I need to kill him as well. Right now I'm in the weekly strike, waiting for someone to join me. If no one does, I'll join you in 5min or so.
 
Good Lord. We have a winner here.

slowly hitting that point too:

The neat thing about the factions is that you can get items that they normally don't sell. I hit FWC rank 3 over the weekend and got a sniper rifle with their flavor text and color scheme even though the vendor doesn't normally sell one.
 
This is basically what my hunter looks like (just add a cloak):

I prefer Green Ranger Tommy but this'll do.

edit: nvm regarding the exotic bounty icons. Apparently they're all different.

Seriously the Titan mark is so much better. The cloaks just don't hang well on the characters. Maybe it's because I made a female hunter.

Hmm, I bought a cloak from the Speaker and I love the length on it and the way it hangs, tbh. My Hunter is female as well. To each their own!

SMHforever WHYYYYYYYY wasn't these in the fucking game... I'd say 3% of people would even go to bnet to read them... smh bungle

So, in addition to those UI suggestions posted earlier in the thread, there was a great post a week or two ago in the Destiny lore (lol) thread re: implementing more contextual info-- like those found in the Grimoire cards-- in the game itself.

Reposting from that thread:

I posted this before but it feels relevant here. A scanning mechanic would enhance both gameplay and lore. I would love going on a collectible scanning adventure during patrols just to scope out what everything is. It would also help during missions to study the environment on the fly as you kill aliens. Metroid Prime showed beautifully how a relatively solitary adventure can be full of life when context is given to your surroundings. Destiny seems to love the idea environmental collectathons. Looking for things to scan would not only expand the lore in-game but also offer a new activity to break the monotony of patrols and killing. (And no, don't have me scan stuff only to get a prompt to visit bungie.net for the lore. Do it in-game like this:

Unfortunately due to the limitations of Bungies clan systems, clans keep filling up causing the creation of multiple sub clans. This can be a bit hard for people who are trying to find people in the same clan on GAF, since there are clans based on time zones going into the 10's.

This clan is designed to help gaffers who are Achievement/Trophy hunters who are trying to get clan based achievements/trophies, specifically

Raiding Party : Complete a Raid consiting of members all from the same clan

and

Strength of the Pack: Complete a strike consisting of members all from the same clan


If you choose to use this clan, please leave to make space for others once you obtain the achievements/trophies you need.

This is not intended as a boosting thread, this is a thread designed to help people meet one another to get the clan based achievements and trophies

I will be attempting the vault of glass tonight, if anyone is interested join the clan to attempt for the Raiding Party trophy

If you care about trophies and achievements use this to find groups so you can get them
 
I just realized that the exotic bounty I'm working on is for Thorn... I heard nothing but bad things about this gun, is it worth going through with the bounty?

I'm having such a hard time with the bounty, I'm at the part where you have to get 500 points by killing guardians in the crucible with Void damage. Anyone have any tips? I started using a fusion rifle but I'm so bad at PvP that I end up losing more points than gaining.
 
holy shit we've entered terminal velocity toward OT6. I can't keep up!

I really want to get more top 3 item answers though. i think the variety of picks will be a lot of fun. maybe when it's a little slower around here I'll repost
 
I'm organizing a group for the raid on Hard. Looking for one lvl 29 player to fill out the group. The raid starts as soon as we find a sixth person to run it.

If anyone is interested, send me a message on PSN. I'm on PS4, my PSN ID is Dave1988.

I can't pick my top 3 until I have the math equations from you bud. I gotta pick the best.
 
Impossible queen bounties and exotic bounties sitting there like dead weight are slowly killing the game for me (as the pve/pvp bounties were pretty much all i did and now i can only do 1 at a time). Finally made the executive decision yesterday to abandon the crap queen bounties that you need to be level 2 for, for my sanity. How about making bounties be tougher instead of making the queen stuff artificially tough through the annoyance of having dead weight bounties? That's just an anti-fun mechanic that pointlessly extends out the length of time it takes to grind through your dailies each day, instead of presenting an actual challenge.

Thorn is awesome in PVP. I maxed mine out so it's nice in PVE as well. And it's gonna get a buff in the near future. For the 500 void points, I used a void shotgun and played Rumble. You can cheese it a bit if you go in with a fire team that'll let you kill them and won't shoot at you, since then it'll basically be 1v3.
 
Yeah, I know. It's from a grimoire card. Cayde-6 doesn't do much of anything for his or your character development or certainly not the hunters. Nonetheless, I dig this. Read it in Fillion's voice in my mind too :)

If only they'd got the voice actors to read out their own cards and put the recordings in game.

That would have been absolutely amazing witht the talent they had available.

So much wasted opportunity. :(
 
Yeah I have barley scratched the upgrades. Can't wait to see what it does with full DMG boost and explosive rounds.

Forewarning, the explosion upgrade is either glitched or very subdued. Great gun, though.

What primary weapon is he/she using in that video?

Mass Effect codex-style. Would've been good. It's not too late to add it.
 
I'm curious as to why there aren't any random enemy encounters?

Basically, I'm wondering why this game isn't Diablo with guns without the shitty humor in Borderlands.

Dude, I had the Bad Juju bounty and I banged that one out even though it was laborious and arduous.

The weapon is really weak too! Fortunately it is supposedly getting a buff.

These bounties can b annoying, but at least the reward is guaranteed.

I wish I could get the rocket launcher or machine gun bounties.

I feel like the Gjallahorn is underrated. When you upgrade to those wolfpack rounds, they really take out huge waves of mobs. Definitely pretty awesome, and the visual of the swarming missiles is cool as hell too.

This gun is underrated? Gjallahorn is one of the only few Exotics I have that feel like it's worth having around. Wolfpack Rounds + fast reload = lol
