Anyone up for the nightfall on PS4? Completely forgot to do this week. I wont use microphone though. It's late here and I don't want to wake up anybody. lol

ThunderDevil is the best shader, hands down!

ThunderDevil and Chatterwhite.

Should I decrypt my blue engrams or wait for the patch?

Wait for the patch and then decrypt the engrams. Use them to level up the Cryptarch rank.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

One thing that bothers me... If the Guardians are to save everything from the darkness, why are they killing each other (sometimes with bounties) in the crucible?

Marines train constantly. In a dinklebot future that means free ressing and bragging rights. What i wanna know is what da fuck is that cube anomaly thing on the moon map? Is the traveller's pocket watch?

 

[giancarlo123x]

I have about six reaction videos of me snapchatting my friends of me identifying a legendary just for it to be a blue. Fuck this game.

 

[YoungOne]

Should I decrypt my blue engrams or wait for the patch?

Well you can wait to use them to level up the cryptarch after the patch to get a chance for legendary engrams that will turn into a legendary, since from what I understand the patch will make them guaranteed from them now.

 

[ZangBa]

They have two slots. I wonder why the first isn't tied to performance, and the second slot random.

Actually, I think there are 4 slots, but they don't show them. I've had it glitch out once and show 4 slots for the top player. I've also received up to 4 items from a match, 2 of them, of course, didn't show on the reward screen.

My ideal scenario is the top 3 would be guaranteed 1-2 pieces of loot, and the bottom 3 would deal with a single random piece of gear.

Only one more day of Rahool's tyranny.

The MP was pretty solid for the first two weeks, but like most online games, it's not being overrun by campers knowing the exact spots to reach, and snipers hoarding and camping near the green ammo caches. Not to mention bladedancers sliding around with shotguns on every single playlist now.

I think I'm out till some type of balance patch, and even then who knows. Fun for a couple weeks, I guess.

 

[Zakalwe]

I seriously want to know how this works. Why are there rounds where no one gets ANYTHING, if its not based on skill but is random?

It's just the pvp version of the random drops/strike rewards in pve.

You don't get rewarded with drops for skill in pve, I don't know why anyone would expect that in pvp.

 

[Sai-kun]

This game is fucking awful. We won, I was top player.

Screw this.

i'm sure arsaleno23 is a nice person

Camping is encouraged with the exotic bounties. I hate being "that guy" but it's the way I have to get the bounties done.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Anyone else not getting into Destiny?

Gave me some weird messages about chat and messaging features not being allowed for my account and is now hanging on the log-in screen.

Now I'm getting "Destiny servers aren't available"

some of the maps have way too many special ammo crates. exodus blue has two within radar range and line of sight of each other.

My ideal scenario is the top 3 would be guaranteed 1-2 pieces of loot, and the bottom 3 would deal with a single random piece of gear.

You would get pieces too fast. Then they would be broken down into shards and before you know it after like 10 games you get 15-20 shards or energy?!? Game breaking.

Let's go see Rahool.

Interesting about the extra slots. I had a similar thought about loot distribution, at the least the best players on each team should get an item, with some random distribution for the remaining players.

I'm not saying they have to be legendary items, though, just something, even blues. Hell, add some materials in there as well so pure PVPer's don't have to waste their time patrolling for hours.

 

[diablos991]

Hope everybody has their arc damage ready for tomorrow!

 

[Finalow]

weekly heroic strike anyone

 

[catspit]

What's the best way to get strange coins for a level 24?

 

[Zakalwe]

Curious: how many hours have you all played plus how many of the following have you found?

Exotic weapons (including bounties)
Legendary weapons

 

[FamousLastX]

Smh no they won't. I can't believe people keep saying this. They'll stay blue, they won't have any chance of being legendary(according to the patch notes).

False, read the patch preview again:
"Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items
Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items"

Weekly heroic with friends on the level 28 difficulty will give 9 strange coins.

 

[Haines]

weekly heroic strike anyone

Looking to call in heavy artillary.

Me and a buddy can't beat weekly 28. We get to 3rd mob round on boss and they swamp us.

Pointers tips or any 28-29s able to help us out in say 45 min time?

Add me HainesGTO ps4

I'm in need of some help. Jimmyben73, level 26 titan.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Because it's completely random and no one getting anything is one possible outcome?

Honestly this "issue" one of the few I don't understand at all. If only the top players of each game got loot it would create an even more unbalanced athmosphere, where the people running around with OP exotics and legendaries feast on the low level people, and get rewarded with even more loot. It's RNG, it's not about what you "deserve" or what someone else didn't "deserve", and it's the only way to handle PvP loot imo. Maybe Bungie should just hide the rewards other people get so it stops this jealousy.

It's just the pvp version of the random drops/strike rewards in pve.

You don't get rewarded with drops for skill in pve, I don't know why anyone would expect that in pvp.

I'm not saying that everyone should get exotics or legendaries.

It would be a vast improvement if they widened the possibility of what you COULD get. Reward them with 10xSpinmetal, 10xHelium, etc. Add SOMETHING to the possibilities so we don't have rounds where 90% of the players get nothing at all.

Adding materials as rewards would not only lessen the sting of not being rewarded with good gear, but also decreases the reliance on mind-numbing material farming to upgrade your gear.

What do you mean? I think you may have misread my post...

 

[The Librarian]

oh my god

 

[Oni Jazar]

This game is fucking awful. We won, I was top player.

Screw this.

I think it would be better for everyone if Bungie just showed a slot machine reel for JUST YOU (maybe your fireteam) and no one else's. Who cares what random people get? It doesn't do anything but piss you off. If they just hid that stuff there's be a lot less teeth gnashing.

Add me HainesGTO ps4

why are you doing 28? Just do 26 instead, you can still get 6+3 coins as far as I know.
I'm only 23 but as 3 I guess we could beat the 26 one. I'll add you if you want to try.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Curious: how many hours have you all played plus how many of the following have you found?

Exotic weapons (including bounties)

2 Days, 5 hours
0 exotic weapons
1 legendary weapon

 

[Steroyd]

Oh boy oh boy, I'm going to get some legendary's tomorrow from the postmaster.

It's like christmas, fuck you Rahool, your swansong is converting a legendary engram into a gauntlet for a warlock class I can't use... wait that's not going to change next patch is it? :/

I've been playing well over 32 hours, zero for both.

I'm only 23 but as 3 I guess we could beat the 26 one. I'll add you if you want to try.

Looking for the challenge I suppose.

 

[pixxxelz]

I thought there weren't suppose to be any primary weapons with elemental damage

Also where can I find more of this

 

[Mr Croft]

Ah sorry about that aha. I thought you meant legendary gear! I believe the top 3 should get some blues at the least and a chance at legendary engrams. The bottom three should have a chance for blue and no legends gear. At the end of the day the game should reward you mostly from grinding not PvP IMO

Yeah destiny server error here, I'm in australia.
giving me the shits to tell the truth, this is the 2nd time in the last couple of days.

error code is marionberry

edit- was my fault, rebooted xb1 and I'm good, odd because everything else was fine.

 

[Finalow]

Looking for the challenge I suppose.

so you're not doing it for the coins? Ok.

well, I'd like to get those before the reset. which is in like 10 hours or so, need anyone even for just the 22 one. :<

Well, there it is.
All raids are cheesable.

 

[FamousLastX]

you can change the level of the weekly strike?

The heroic one yes. 22, 26, or 28. The higher the difficulty the more coins you get.

It's really cool you can select your subclass when starting a new character, but it's really uncool that I can't skip these cut scenes.

I just don't understand why people accept random strike/raid rewards but can't accept random pvp rewards.

 

[Finalow]

you can change the level of the weekly strike?

yes, you can select the difficulty.

I have that Scout Rifle and it's fantastic.
