the pvp stuff is easy, which one?

Hand Cannon Thorn?
I believe I have to kill enemies with dark matter (?) elemental weapons.
Deaths count against you, and it's kinda slow-going.

Playing pvp all night to get this gun isn't something I want to do.
Not saying I can't do it, I just don't enjoy Destiny pvp.
I finish almost all matches with a positive k/d, and I work objectives...but I don't find anything fun about the mp, unlike Halo2/3 which I loved.
Personal preference.
 
Has anyone been experiencing the 'Bee' error code frequently over the past few days? My experience has been smooth since launch but these past few days I have been getting kicked out of many matches due to this error code.
 
Keep it classy Bungie.

The buckshot bruiser and fusion spree bounties are awful. They encourage absurd play, buckshot moreso and make you a detriment to your team. Should just be 3 kills without dying. No reloads and no switching is dumb as fuck. Better give me 100 Crucible marks for getting that.

I am doing that one right now, i am at 410/500. A kill gets you 5 a death gets you -2

My advice, if you want it, is to do control and stand in the most awkward places as people rush to objectives and just blast them away. Closed off maps work fine, the more open ones are harder. On the Moon map i pretty much just hang around inside, pop out occasionally to see if i can blast someone

The only gun i have with Void damage is a legendary fusion rifle, its basically me getting one shot off and either getting a kill or getting killed.

But it is annoying that you have to do something like this, its forcing players to not only play PvP but also use specific weapons
 
Guys, I need quick help, which of these exotic bounties should I choose out of these two?

The one for Pocket Infinity, or Super Good Advice?

Heard a lot of good things for Pocket Infinity and I do have the 10 blue fusion rifles prepared, but that nightfall kills part is hard lol. But don't know much about SGA.

Which one? 0_0

Nightfall kills was easy on the last one and the one before.

For the most recent, you could just start the nightfall, go the opposite way you're supposed to go until you got to a 'no respawn' area but without the dumb nightfall effect of sending you to orbit, and just clean house until you die.

I just did it a few times and racked up the 200.

I wish Destiny had something like Xbox 360 beacons. "kittens dx wants to play Vault of Glass" etc. The start menu roster is so underdeveloped. :-

kittens, I want to do VoG since I haven't done it eve once, cause simply got no1 to do it with + makes me kinda feel left out since all the fun content is group locked :/
 
Chain of Woe + Gunslingers Trance + legendary machine gun = :D

Eatin' these crowds of Vex up like they're made of paper.

Hahaha, yep. Shotgun is my go-to in crucible and even I had to skip the buckshot bounty. Like you said there's no way to play legitimately and get that (especially with the typical clip shotgun clip size). I'd only consider trying for it if my team had a ridiculous lead.

EDIT: well, now that I think about, I suppose you could melee their shield and then shoot to ensure it only required one shot to kill. I might try that.

Pocket Infinity. I've heard nothing but good about it. And the SGA, I hear it's all right. REcoil is pretty strong, but I haven't heard much about it either.

I would go with Pocket Infinity.

Pocket Infinity it is! :D

I don't have to finish a Nightfall strike in order to complete that part of the bounty do I?

I want Thorn and like the PvP, but I have a choice to do this bounty or the Bad Juju and both bounties are terrible.
 
breakfuss said:
lol, understandable and sometimes I scoff at crucible bounties as well. The silver lining however is that they often help improve the way you approach PvP. I seriously feel like a better player because of them. Plus I tried modes like Salvage that I otherwise would have ignored. Skirmish will always suck, though.
Click to expand...

This is true for a lot of the pvp bounties; however, the bounty for Thorn requires players to be decent at pvp and to have a good void weapon. Otherwise it's very easy to lose your progress on the bounty.

I rather enjoy pvp, but this one is just ridiculous. I'm so afraid of dying that I've spent entire matches crouching and sneaking around looking for easy kills. I'd be okay with this if, unlike every other bounty, one's progress couldn't regress.

Thorn's bounty is a lot of fun imo. It forced me to learn fusion rifles which I was ignoring before.

If you like pvp and stay positive consistently it shouldn't be a problem.
 
I heard this week's Heroic will be Winter's Fall. Apparently there's a spot where you can't be damaged from the final boss, but you can shoot him. Does anyone have a video showing this spot?

Is that the dude on the Ketch?

You can stand in the door way, unload rockets and kill him before he moves.

Hard(er) part is getting to him, sodding shielded Shanks and Snipers.

Is the patch coming out today? because I think Im done with this fucking game.

PVP is an unbalanced mess filled with campers and one shot bullshit weapons.

Finished the nightfall mission and got fucking coins. Grind for hours and get 5 purple engrams and they all turn into rare lvl 16 helmets and I am doing the same shitty bounties over and over again.
Click to expand...

I take it you were playing Clash (TDM)? If so, yeah, people there just tend to camp in one spot and not move. I kept running around trying to find people to kill, but ended up getting shotgunned to the face or sniped by someone so far away. Best solution is to do the same thing they're doing.

I'd suggest playing Control rather than the boring hiding-fest, Clash. Overall, I hate the lag and the Bladedancer super. I mean, seriously. Who at Bungie thought it was a good idea to have a super last several seconds long, give you added armor, and let's you kill with one hit?! It's the only super where you can effectively hunt playersS! Yes, with an S!

Nerfing it is simple enough. Just shorten the duration and I think everyone's going to be happy. But knowing Bungie, I have no clue if they'll ever do that. They're crazy when it comes to what goes on in Destiny. xD

Sigh, wonderful.
Got my first exotic bounty...and it requires playing PvP successfully to get it.
Click to expand...

Deleted all three exotic bounties I received, will be refusing any further. Played 20 or more PvP games and while I could hold my own kills to deaths, I found it to be quite a shallow and pointless exercise, does nothing for me.

How many ascendant shards do you get from dismantling legendary gear? I'm thinking of dismantling all the Warlock gear I got.

Titan for life!

2 or 3 if it's not levelled, I've had items levelled right up to requiring shards give 4 and 5. I was wearing a Space Jesus band that people said wasn't the reason for this
I prefer to think maybe it was

Your're level 27, I see junk, junk, junk, junk and junk.

I understood they turn blue if that really is what the engram contains. A legendary engram that contains a legendary item won't turn blue after the patch.

Or am I wrong?

They said /all/. So yeh, I think you're wrong.

What's the exact time of the reset please? Is it 10am gmt? :3

Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already..

I had a terrible time the first night I tried for the Thorn void kills. *No* progress at all. Came back to it a few days later with a Void Sniper Rifle and Void Rocket launcher and proceeded to get it pretty fast by camping points in Control. Ended up with a few 3+ and even a 4.4 K/D ratio match and got it pretty fast. A fast aiming short-zoom scope is a must for it. The trick is mostly knowing maps and knowing where people will go and taking them out. Plus, never stay in one place. Once you kill a person or two from sniping you move to different place, because people will come after you.

I really dislike PVP and I think the bounty is stupid, but if you're patient and just focus on picking people off and keeping yourself safe then it's doable even if you're pretty bad at PVP like I am.
 
I always do the Buckshot bounty in rumble. That way I'm not dicking over teammates.

It's slow as hell trying to get crucible from rank 1 to rank 2...
