It gets kind of annoying...

You are in a thread with hundreds of people playing destiny, online right now - at least post your gamer tag and you will get some FR, there are dozens of people lfg for high level stuff every day.

Pretty much. One post about needing help in a strike in this thread the other day, and 3 GAFers offered to help (thanks guys!). Don't be shy, just ask.
 
Firstly, this isn't hostility. Secondly, the folks here are good people.

Thirdly, I do think more matchmaking for content would've been nice, but using this OT, it's been very easy to find groups. There's also Reddit and DestinyLFG, both of which have their own resources to get groups.

I was in a shitty situation because all the people I added and who added me were too high level for me to join (I didn't play much first week) and now that I'm closer, I don't know what the hell is going on or what to do.
 
I have a legendary engram, at the moment, and am wondering... If I decode this, and receive the gift message (this engram will definitely rank up Rahool) from the Cryptarch, but do not accept it until the patch is out, will those gift engrams be considered pre or post patch engrams?

Possibly, we don't know. Stick it in the bank and have an alt open it?

Ill do runs with you guys once I finish this one tonight and get my bearings on what the hell I have to do to get through it. I got a taste of it last Friday and the shit was bonkers.

Awesome, I'm going to try to do a couple raid runs this saturday for sure, gonna use an alt.
 
The PvP is fun enough for me to keep playing for a long time tbh, regardless of whether or not i'm still earning things. (which I still am and probably will be for a while so that's just a plus)
 
I'm still trying to figure out who thought it was a good idea to make it so breaking down Queen's Revenge armor rewards gets you less than killing the three large Hive enemies hanging out in the basement near the initial spawn point in Old Russia. It takes ninety seconds to get down there, and it is always more glimmer than replaying a story chapter again. There doesn't even seem to be a clear replacement on what to do for shards without spending hours hoping that something drops.
 
Yeah I've done that a few times. Maybe hostility like this makes me want to avoid relying on Internet forum strangers to be able to play all the content in the game I paid $90 for.

No one was hostile in any way...

Anyway, it sounds like this isn't the game for you then. We're just saying there are ways of finding groups and it's pretty easy. It's not as easy as being matched up by Bungie, but it's not really a barrier to do anything unless you just don't want to interact with other people.

You paid $90 for content, some of which is explicitly stated to be raid content, and then are upset that you can't do a raid because you don't want to do a raid? I don't understand. Most of us here love the game and are pretty friendly, so rest assured there's no hostility coming from us, but this kind of attitude is pretty unappealing.

Matchmaking doesn't work for raids, sorry. And that's not just in this game, a raid by definition requires coordination that can only be achieved with voice.
 
Not Invented Here.

So like, another game has a great feature or tools or method. It's universally considered to be the best way to do "A".

NIH Syndrome is the new company looks at it, completely ignores it or doesn't want to copy or mimick, and creates their own method. A method that is either hated or considered inferior. Sometimes they'll evolve to copy the other company, but that's the gist of it....not considering an option because it didn't originate within the company.

Hrm, that's a good way of putting it. They take some things but not the others....and people are getting pissed off about that(That being, the patch not being out/no clarity on when the patch is coming).

The patch came out Wednesday last week, but until it happens again tomorrow, we can't mark it as schedule. So we'll see~

I'd like to try the VoG for the first time this week, if anyone wants to join me.

Why is everyone making this game so grindy?

Just play it and enjoy it, and you will get good loot.

I am a level 23 hunter, I have played the story, crucible, strikes, and daily heroics.

I have really enjoyed the gameplay. Just play the game, and it is fun. Don't worry so much about the loot.
Nobody can deny the game is extremely stingy with loot. You'll see what it's like once you hit 24 and try to progress. Now that you can get the Queen's armor easy, it won't be as big of a pain. Before that, you had to keep playing until RNGesus blessed you with a legendary armor piece.

I just wish I didn't have to come into a thread to do it. When I click on someone's name in Destiny that I've added from here, why isnt there an option to "Join Fireteam" if there's an empty spot?
 
Um, I just got The Last Word from a purple exotic which I almost didn't decrypt because it resulted in me gaining a cryptarch level.

Is it actually any good? I *love* hand cannons but have no idea which ones are decent! and am sort of expecting my first exotic to be junk because... Rahool.

(Also now not sure whether to actually bother grinding pocket infinity now - just as I get my 10 fusion rifles! )
dude. That weapon has unique animations that are only used for that single gun, and the best fire rate of any hand cannon in the game.

I'm not interested in it for obvious reasons, but ideally I would have a partner that had it and wanted to help me conquer the universe.

...also yes, get pocket infinity, don't be silly.
I was in a shitty situation because all the people I added and who added me were too high level for me to join (I didn't play much first week) and now that I'm closer, I don't know what the hell is going on or what to do.
Just take a step back. You're working against yourself a little bit here. Post what you would like to do, your platform, and your level, and ask for help!
 
does anyone have any tips to knock out these 25 strikes completed real quick for this bad juju bounty?

Do the moon strike, and just blitz through as fast as possible, more often than not, there will be others who are trying to do the same.

The Earth Strike is another one, but that one is prone to dickery because people will run up to the Fallen Walker kill it and then quit because of a shitty bounty. /still pissed about.

Given the state of the game and how the community has responded, it's pretty easy to find people at around your level to do content.

In fact, if you're sub 24, it's easy to find people within the game due to the Strike Playlist.

25 and up will require taking initiative and posting in this thread for help or going to Reddit, DestinyLFG, or what have you.

I'm not sure where you're getting "hostility" from, but if you're that butthurt about not having matchmaking and would rather complain and call out people who are trying to give friendly advice instead of using a fraction of that energy to form up a group of friends on here (or the multitude of other forums on the internet), then I don't really know what to tell you.
 
In the same boat as you. The only reason I have an exotic armor piece is good ol' Xur. Feels bad man :(
Yep same here. Also have cryptarch to level 16, never even received a legendary item from anything I've received as gifts for rank ups. Also have never decrypted a blue engram into anything purple.
 
Actually, it's not very easy at all. It's a major PITA on short notice. Basically, my biggest issue with the game.
between this thread and www.destinylfg.net I frankly don't think I've ever waited longer than three minutes before having a full fireteam. Try it out!

This exists- press the Options (or Start, I guess) button on them. However, it's likely better to preform your team so that everyone knows exactly what they're in for.

Quick? Devils Lair works for me.

I have the same bounty but I'm just running through Vanguard strikes on 24. I could use the marks now that the week reset
 
Is the patch out?
jk

I hope the outfitter has some new shaders. Apparently they did change through the beta. I really want an orange or red shade.
 
thanks for the response.

I want 77 Wizard and want it bad. Void is the element I'm severely lacking in... perfect for a Hunter with no native Void options -_- And it's hilarious to me that I have two Exotic fusion rifles and two rare ones of Arc and Solar each, but no void XD

MORE MORE MORE!

TOP 3 ITEMS PICK THEM BE HEARTLESS PEOPLE!

The speaker sells cosmetic items (Titan Marks) for Motes of Light. Wallach wishes to purchase a specific one, which will mean acquiring 25 motes of light during this week- IF the speaker has what he wants when his stock refreshes.

I am in the same boat.

That's why i'm hoarding arc weapons!
My first legendary was 77 Wizard and my next was a legendary sniper rifle with void damage too...

If I ever get the Vex Mythoclast, I'm going to hunt down every Hunter that decided to step foot in the Crucible.

Then I'm going after Striker Titans in Control. I will throw matches just so I can find them both.
 
Earned my second exotic, sungloves, by a legendary engram (probably my 15th - 20th legendary engram).
Can't see what the problem is! :P

First exotic was Hawkmoon, hand cannon, a truly amazing weapon that I'm glad I got nearly after I turned lvl 20.

Wait, how? I see Invite to Fireteam but no option to join.
 
Just got Universal Remote from a legendary special weapon engram. At first I was super happy, then I used it... >_>
This weapon is trash in PvE, right? Is it worth it in PvP or am I missing something?
Also finally bought Shadow Price and it's pretty great. Still hoping for an Ice Breaker but not sure if I'll ever get one...
 
Eight strange coins from the Nightfall strike. I'm not sure if I'm angry or not.

I'm mad.

I'd be mad if I got strange coins, but pretty happy if I got a crap load of Ascendant Energy. Can't seem to get nearly enough of this stuff. It's silly that you need 6 for upgrades, straight ludicrous.
