Is a level 24 high enough for the level 26 weekly heroic strike?

 

[Ambitious]

Cool, I found another legendary Fusion Rifle. This time with different ammo. Gonna keep (and upgrade) both, of course.

 

[tw1164]

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

Exotic weapons (including bounties)
Legendary weapons

I've played for about 47 hours. I have no exotics, I haven't even seen an exotic bounty yet. I've only gotten 1 legendary weapon, it was the sniper rifle from the queen's mission.

 

[AmateurHour212]

My PSN is down. Weak.

Anyone else having issues?

 

[Resilient]

I fucking got the Auto Rifle from Atheon last night. Shit is fucking hardcore. 70 bullets. Gets more accurate. Does more damage as you fire. Has Void attribute. Shit yeah.

 

[Pop]

Destiny is gonna be awesome tomorrow.

Can't wait.

And I have 23 strange coins for Xur on Friday, and I have 23 motes of light!

Xur better bring The Last Word with him this time.

I got 62 motes! When you don't use them, they add up pretty quick.

 

[Mr Croft]

Same here. I don't complain nearly as much. Well, unless I get shotgunned by a camper.

Or killed by a fusion rifle from half a footballs field of distance lol

Lucky! I really wanted that primary.

At least I got a LMG that has increased oracle damage though.

 

[CREMSteve]

Just took a look, I've played 110 hours. Good lord!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

They haven't said much about it, other than that you need to spend a Tournament Ticket to enter, and you get a tournament ticket either by winning alot in regular crucible matches, or buying one for a single mote of light. Level advantages are enabled. Once you lose 3 times, you're out. You can earn ascendant materials there, and you get better rewards the longer you stay in. Similar to how Vault of Glass offers raid set gear, the Trials of Osiris offers Trials set gear, and presumably the odds of you obtaining this gear increases the longer you stay in. Possibly being zero until you have a streak of a certian length, but at this point I'm just speculating.

Is it Rumble?

What do they mean "lose"? Not come in first or come in last?

Jesus, WHAT ABOUT ME????

I'M MID-TIER.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Hey, are you garuanteed legendary weapons from the nightfall things? Just curious. Still no purple guns for meeee

 

[youngplaya21]

76 hours 24 minutes

0 exotics
0 legendaries

I bought an exotic the other day from Xur. Bought all my legendaries from Crucible vendor. Almost crucible rank 3, so I'll have a legendary weapon then.

Pretty fucking lame.

How is this possible... In 60 I had 3 exotic bounties (didn't even bother with the third), found 2 exotic weapons, and made it to the point where I was dismantling anything legendary because I had no use for them. You may wanna try playing some of the harder game modes or something

 

[diablos991]

Likely meaning if you are on the losing team. I don't think it will be rumble.

 

[Twilight Gap]

yea i was really pissed at this game last week, but i seem to be enjoying it a lot more now for some reason. in fact, i reached a weird state of enlightenment earlier today where i was enjoying control on bastion.

then again, a full fireteam of gaffers makes everything better

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Yeah but you're gonna find it pretty damn hard

Just bad luck.... My friend has played as many hours as me and has never gotten and exotic weapon bounty

 

[diablos991]

Hey, are you garuanteed legendary weapons from the nightfall things? Just curious. Still no purple guns for meeee

Nope.
A party member of mine got 10 ascendant shards last week.

 

[Bunta]

Nope, just a chance.

Nothing can make that map good.

36 Ass Energy, but only 3 Ass Shards. Bungie plz

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Not liking this RNG business one bit

 

[figadapaura]

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

Exotic weapons (including bounties)
Legendary weapons

48 hours (apparently)

8 exotic weapons
9 legendary weapons

 

[ComputerMKII]

Levelling up from 29 to 30 is next to impossible. To do it I actually need to level up alts in order to run the Raid multiple times a week :/

 

[diablos991]

I would take 10 ascendant shards over a purple weapon any day. Shards are what stops level progression.

 

[Namikaze1]

Fucking 3 hour power outtage had to happen while in the middle of Templar's Phase 1 battle in Raid Hard Mode.

 

[Key2001]

My PSN is down. Weak.

Anyone else having issues?

Yeah and it was finally acknowledged on their @askplaystation twitter account. Closing in on ~6 hours since I have been trying to get it on and supposedly some have been trying to get on since early this morning.

 

[neoism]

:O

 

[FamousLastX]

It's 3vs3, so they mean be on the losing team.

 

[weremichael]

24 hours time played in the Crucible, 16 more hours than anywhere else.... Best thing I've got is a purple engram. Gotten better gear from 8 hours in the Raid than I have anywhere else. Still haven't completed it yet, though.

I have such shitty luck.

One purple drop (some lousy hand canon) in 49 hours of total playtime (over two characters)!

I witnessed a buddy get two Exotic drops in an evening though. That was fun.

So who has worse luck than me? There has to be at least a few GAFers who have pissed off RNGesus more than I have.

 

[Papercuts]

Levelling up from 29 to 30 is next to impossible. To do it I actually need to level up alts in order to run the Raid multiple times a week :/

And pray it even drops raid armor. It's really, really dumb.

 

[Mr Croft]

Fucking 3 hour power outtage had to happen while in the middle of Templar's Phase 1 battle in Raid Hard Mode.

Yesterday we were on the third defend the pillars on hard and the whole team was up... Then lizard squad happened...

 

[ZangBa]

I've reached a point where I have enough shards in my vault to upgrade any future gear I would need from the raid in order to hit 30, so I really have nothing left to do in this game until the raid resets. :/

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Haha! It's raining legendarys from purple engrams now the patch is due tomorrow.

Smh

 

[ZeroMaverick]

I would take 10 ascendant shards over a purple weapon any day. Shards are what stops level progression.

Yeah, but once your armor is maxed out...

 

[figadapaura]

I want that gun so bad. ;_;

lol

2DAYS 2MIN

Every Legendary I have and the 1 Exotic helm I have I BOUGHT... smh.. the loot game in the game is straight terrible... its not fun to grind grind grind to just go buy my shit.. whats the point of engrams even dropping at all.. smh I 've only seen 2 purples drop in the whole time.. and they both turned in to blues... After level 20 why does greens even drop at all when 100% of the time I just dismantle them why not just drop materials instead... :/

I got 10 strange coins from it, lol.

 

[Namikaze1]

Some drunk crashed into a power pole earlier, resulting in the whole neighborhood losing power for a good 3 and a half hours. Power is back up now.

 

[nicoga3000]

So is it worth letting 1 legendary engram go to rare with the update tomorrow so I don't level the Cryptarch for a chance at, what, 2 legendary engrams?

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Or killed by a fusion rifle from half a footballs field of distance lol

Oh yeah, that too. And probably a few other Crucible related things. Although last night, we were doing so poorly it was fun again. Just stopped caring and kept running at them.

yea i was really pissed at this game last week, but i seem to be enjoying it a lot more now for some reason. in fact, i reached a weird state of enlightenment earlier today where i was enjoying control on bastion.

I only get pissed when I'm sitting at work and reflecting on how much better things could have been (like now). While playing, I'm in gaming heaven (except while doing the stupid PvP handcannon headshot bounty).

 

[Cømet]

Almost time for the next raid run. What I'd like from Atheon for christmas- some raid gauntlets and/or helmet. Possibly that scout rifle.


Please Atheon! I've been a good titan! I've been farming mats all weekend!

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

I want that gun so bad. ;_;

That gun is horrible with anything that's not 10 feet in front of you haha.... Haven't unlocked the stability upgrade get though.

 

[donkey show]

Hey, are you garuanteed legendary weapons from the nightfall things? Just curious. Still no purple guns for meeee

Did a Nightfall run today with Jaeyden and another buddy. I got a legendary machine gun, Jaeyden got 10 strange coins, and friend got a legendary engram.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Levelling up from 29 to 30 is next to impossible. To do it I actually need to level up alts in order to run the Raid multiple times a week :/

Running the raid 3 times a week is the same as running the raid once a week three times. Except that it's faster. Which admittedly wouldn't be a problem if there were more stuff to *do* in the game.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

It's 3vs3, so they mean be on the losing team.

YESSSSS

awesome see you there

 

[Zakalwe]

I got a raid Rocket Launcher that I forgot about. Just finished levelling both main perks.

Hezen Vengeance
- 3 in the tube.
- Rocket splits into cluster bombs when it detonates.

The blast radius on this thing is huge, the bar is 100% filled, plus the after detonation of the smaller clusters catch people by surprise all the time.

The fact you get 3 rockets from each ammo spawn in pvp feels like some kind of abuse.

 

[Afrocious]

OT6 | Vault of Ass Shards and the first good patch.

 

[elementalsin]

How can I get the No Parley and Fallen Leaders bounties at the same time and have 6 Majors dead on one and only 5 on the Majors and Ultras? I have 2 possible targets on one, but it's lower? I don't get it.

Because Bungie? I had the exact same problem. Finished all the majors on one, but majors or ultras I only had 4. Did the exact same mobs the whole time.. 6 more than should have been required finished the second one.

 

[neoism]

My PSN is down. Weak.

Anyone else having issues?

yeah my cus on live couldn't find games either... I was just about to get on but I probably shouldn't anyway... DS2 DLC <3

 

[Zomba13]

Same. It's ass backwards.

 

[CLBridges]

Alright, Vault down again for this week! Came out with Praedyth's Revenge Sniper and of course when we beat last boss I get...ass energy lol. I needed shards, but can't complain, also the shader dropped again but don't need two.

Tomorrow brings the reset along with the patch, so that's nice. It'll allow me to cap vanguard/crucible marks, buy legendary stuff and then dismantle for shards on top of daily and weekly stuff. I will def. be farming to the max tomorrow and laughing at Master Rahool when I turn in some purps lol.
