Thought it would be nice with a small faq for Destiny, so I made this. Feel free to add more questions.

Most asked questions:
  • How do I get an exotic bounty?
  • Why do I never get legendary engrams?
  • Why does my friends armor have different stats than mine when they got the same name?
  • How do I choose which crucible map to play?
  • Why do I never see any public events?
  • How do I get ass shards in crucible?
  • How come the worst player in a match gets a legendary while the mvp gets nothing?

You missed "Where is Xur?"
 
holy rocket balls. I knew it felt like "a lot" but damage. I'm thinking Valus Ta'aurc can be killed in literally <60s by a coordinated team this week.

Weapons of Light is pretty crazy, we were constantly hitting the enrage on Aethon during the raid until we decided to run weapons of light, absolutely melted him in no time. That plus the Oracle damage buff stacked quite nicely. Regular scout rifle shots were hitting for 1.6k
 
You guys would have noticed if the Patch was out considering you need to download an update for it.

If you do so automatically on the PS4 would make no difference since you will still see a pop-up when you login.

Yup, so we have everyone get buffed by Weapons of Light (w/ the Illuminated perk that buffs the talent) and then steps out and all fire their heavy weapons at him; he'll be dead quick I'd think. If everyone has an Arc rocket launcher, maybe instantly, haha.
 
This game is not rewarding at all. There's so much frustration both with the loot system/PVE and PVP.

The amount of grinding, and bullshit you have to deal with for the little reward in return is insane. This is a game truly built for the masochist gamer.

I'm done with it.
Man this is so funny/surreal.

I love games that fit that description. Super Meat Boy, Souls series, old school Castlevanias, 2-player Battletoads... love that shit.

Destiny just doesn't feel like one of those games, lol
 
wish they had a way in game that when you change your Fireteam to allow public it would let you write a little message or something that people could see...that way people could see what people were waiting for...

still waiting for one for Nightfall....

I had the idea of using the player emblems as lfg flags. That way when you check your friends list you could easily see who's looking for what. Of course the problem is getting everyone to agree on which emblems to use.
 
The world needs more space-westerns. That's just science, and you can't argue with science.

The sands of Mars. You see a figure in the distance. He's hooded and his hand is considering that cannon at his side. You put your hand by your weapon. Dinklebot is about to tell you something but you let him talk to the hand because you don't want to hear that shit. The wind howls.

(We will never get this game ;_;)
 
I really think we got this in the bag tonight, just have to play careful. I'm out of booze too so that will help.

haha. I have no booze in house either but I do have some other stuff left. This may or may not be true but I believe I get better when I'm on the other stuff. Just saying

I can take a leak AND make a quick sandwich during the load screens. Good stuff.

or one REALLY LONG leak

Bwahahahaa, perfect!

Actually, they are. There's a 5 minute window at the end of each timer, and it's possible the event just never shows up at all. It's considerably *less* random than the rest of the game, but it's still random.

I don't have an Arc rocket launcher but Thunderlord even without any upgrades and very shaky attempts at headshots, was tearing him up. Gotta make sure to try this. Actually I might have just inspired myself to actually level up a Defender this weekend.
 
Finally did a part of the raid last night (before reset) with another gaffer and some randoms he found. Pretty good stuff for Templar and the gorgon maze. Reminded me of most MMOs Ive played thru (ya, I know that was the point!) quite a bit with the coordination needed. Dont think that team would've taken Aetheon tho <.<

Would love to do more tonite and possibly get in on some Nightfall action. :0
 
Need two others for the Nightfall tonight. I'm a 28 Hunter and will probably be on at about 4:30PM Central. Send me a friend request at PaulKersey.
 
Oh shit, I think I DO have an Arc launcher.

I really need to start stockpiling one of each weapon using each element class.
 
And when you play with randoms, this happens.

i've gone 45-15 in a clash match and still lost. i hate this shit. i'm always at the top of each match and i lose way more than i win.

this game is not kind for random matchmaking. i would have thought bungie would learn by now that making games that are highly team based in a console online environment tends to never fair well for a majority of players.

No, dammit! We can make this happen! We are NeoGAF, and we get shit done!

No, we don't ;_;

Perfect. Endgame progression isn't impossible but is far from feeling rewarding, fair, or balanced.

I like that there are still people who think public events are random.

They may be on a schedule, but there is still an element of randomness to it. I'm not even sure what determines it. Spots like Mothyards at the top of the hour are supposed to be an almost 100% chance of an event (according to others) but I've had plenty of times where I've waited (WITH other players) and nothing has happened.

If you assume 'hooded' means 'uncircumcised' this story takes on entirely different connotation .
 
What works:
Thunderlord
Arc Fusion Rifles
Arc Grenades
Arc Sniper Rifles
Other arc things
Not losing your shit when Psion Operants roll up on your position

What doesn't:
Not Arc things
Losing your shit when Psion Operants roll up on your position
Dying

Easiest nightfall so far. Very few Cabal actually use Arc damage and Valus has a big old hitbox just begging to be Arcked.
Thanks, I had no idea that he was susceptible to Arc damage. Too bad the only Arc sniper I have is an Uncommon 3-shot. :-(

Some are less likey to show up yes, for example the Steppes event, but others, like the Walker and the event in the Mothyards are happening 90% of all times. People complaining about never having seen any public events are either just playing crucible all time, or not playing the game very often at all.
 
Holy shit... OT6 and already we are pass page 7...

Anyway... Hopefully I can get some of you guys later today to help me with the Nightfall and Weekly Strike.
 
Is there any good way to deal with a Titan Defender in his bubble except run away? Seems pretty unstoppable.
Hard counters are Nova Bomb, Fist of Havoc, or two Golden Gun shots.

If you don't have one of those available, a Defender in his bubble is DYING for you to come attempt something.

edit: We have no idea when the patch is hitting. It may not be today. Somebody jumped the gun on that last title change XD
 
You can credit me and Chamber for starting the Blame Dax movement. I will take glimmer, check, or Legendary Primary Weapon engrams.

Do it!

I have an Arc machine gun as well but I think I may use the Arc rocket launcher I have tonight for this because it has fast reload and target tracking.

I'll post the results!
