Where are you getting all of these exotic bounties from? I have yet to get one.

I think there's a chance you get one for every bounty you turn in. So, RNG, but if you do a ton of bounties, there's a chance each time.

Maybe?

I love the slow fire now that I'm used to it. #WorthIt

I actually bought a Vanquisher VIII because I couldn't stand the slow fire in PvP. See ya at 9 est, btw, Hydruxo.

 

[tmac456]

hell i'll do the nightfall too if anyone has the patience getting a 26+ hunter through it

psn: Hoosier07

 

[The Lamonster]

I am anti-slow fire. Sucks for PvP.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Has the patch happened?

Can we change the thread title to "no it hasn't updated?" Or ask people to look back maybe one page? No wonder these OTs fly by

 

[Twilight Gap]

All the Bad Juju needs is a bit more impact and 24-30 bullet clip.

and more pew pew

it sounds like somebody dropped a waterbottle on a keyboard.

 

[patchday]

Eight strange coins from the Nightfall strike. I'm not sure if I'm angry or not.

Spoiler

I'm mad.

I wish I got 8 strange coins

edit- Btw I got 10 ascendant energies last night. Would've preferred strange coins. But hey, it was still worth my time. So I am thankful

 

[ZOONAMI]

It's kinda nuts how you can begin getting rep for a character at such an early level. I don't think I touched bounties until I was at or near 20 on my Warlock.

I already have a quarter of Rank 1 filled for Vanguard on my level 7 Hunter and that was from yesterday.

Hmm....

Is it possible we could've avoided the rep grind this whole time?

Yes, you can avoid grinding all together by just playing the game, trying out different things, and then pretty much sticking to the things you like. Buying Dead Orbit/ FWC / NM class items and alternating what you wear does the trick.

I think if they had communicated how it works a little better and how important it was for the near to end game earlier, it would have alleviated things. Doing that stuff efficiently is definitely one of things I'm kind of excited to do for my eventual alt.

 

[hemo memo]

Thanks guys, I'm hating my legendary hand cannon, tried to adapt but no luck. I hope Bad Juju is worth it after all those strikes.

 

[CREMSteve]

lmfao

I just solo'ed Nightfall...

I GOT 11 ASCENDANT SHARDS

fuck this I have Max fucking armor

You realize that there's a better armour in the game than what you have equipped, right? Those shards will come in handy!

 

[neoism]

Help! I'm about to head out to the beach for a few days and would love to read all the grimnoire entries. With no internet out there is there anyway to read them offline? Cheers!

if you have an ipad you could go to each on and put it on your reading list...

 

[KeRaSh]

You have to level it up a bit to see it's potential.

Do you mean the increased range when using ADS? That's the only upgrade that looks interesting but I can't imagine it being a huge improvement. I'd rather level up my new Shadow Price first.

 

[Ganhyun]

Skipped out on Destiny last night to get extra sleep as I wasnt feeling well. Will be back on tonight.

 

[Phaethon0017]

To whoever said the the Thorn is good for PvP when upgraded.... not bad.

 

[X-Frame]

Me too, dude. That too me is the most important thing from this patch. That, and the HP nerf Bungie's going to implement on the Strike bosses.

I assume that the patch will also make the Weekly Heroics and Nightfalls easier? Or will they be excluded from this balance change?

 

[Flo_Evans]

I think we're all waiting mostly for the Vanguard Tiger change.

At least I am.

Vanguard tiger is what lv.24?

I wouldn't expect many legendaries to drop from that. Maybe who knows.

 

[Afrocious]

It's an odd feeling now, looking back. Before, I'd get upset getting legendary gear for another class. When I got my Exotic Helmet for my Hunter on my Warlock, I realized this wasn't so bad.

I think it seriously helps to have all three classes. Especially since you only have to do any sort of effort toward weapons one time only.

 

[Lostconfused]

Thanks guys, I'm hating my legendary hand cannon, tried to adapt but no luck. I hope Bad Juju is worth it after all those strikes.

All those strikes were worth freeing up my one bounty slot, Bad Juju can sit in the vault for all I care otherwise.

 

[Lucis]

Thanks guys, I'm hating my legendary hand cannon, tried to adapt but no luck. I hope Bad Juju is worth it after all those strikes.

I can tell you now that it is not, but it might be if bungie do plan on buffing it significantly.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

Hit them in the head with each slow shot and you'll drop people very quick. Been doing this is for two weeks. Hasn't slowed me down.

 

[figadapaura]

No it don't.

 

[Afrocious]

I have no clue, but I know Bungie commented on lowering the amount of health strike bosses have to make them less spongey. I think the bosses are fine the way they are in Nightfall due to the element burn.

 

[Florida_Man_5000]

Today's my birthday. Can I haz a purple Bungie?

 

[todahawk]

I think if they had communicated how it works a little better and how important it was for the near to end game earlier, it would have alleviated things. Doing that stuff efficiently is definitely one of things I'm kind of excited to do for my eventual alt.

yeah same, i looked at the factions early and went with one only to find out later i screwed myself in vanguard with maxxed marks and no way to spend them.

letting us know there are caps to certain things would've been really nice to know.

 

[Kamina]

Today's my birthday. Can I haz a purple Bungie?

Sure, it'll turn into a blue anyway since the patch isnt out yet.

 

[EL CUCO]

But instead we keep "texting" this girl and get no response.

We clinging, bro.

 

[w00zey]

Just play conservatively. Don't be the first to rush out the door. Assists count for points as well. So just go kill things.

This is the easiest of all the PVP bounties.

I think you would need less than a 0.5 K/D to not make progress on it. I don't know of anybody that bad in every match they play.

Oh sweet. I could handle that!!

Thanks. Probably doesn't help that I rarely ever play pvp in any game.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Anyone up for any Queen missions on PS4. I have like 6 of these things. I kind of want the Sniper Rifle. I have everything else.

[Korosenai]

Nightfall last week - Knucklehead radar (which I already dismantled because ill never use it)

Nightfall this week - 9 ascendant energies

I was really hoping for either the Icebreaker or The Last Word.

 

[SkylineRKR]

lol, Nightfall seems to be easy this week. I am solo'ing it right now, and am at the Tank atm. My Light/Beware Arc rolled 3 shotted those Guardians from ADS. Dunno if i'm going to make it alone but with a team this would be laughable I guess.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

There is a ton of stuff that they did a horrible job of explaining to the players.

 

[glaurung]

Anyone online in EU that could help me with Queen's kill orders?

[BreezyLimbo]

They sure will, once RNG blesses him with actual gear, and if he bothers to run the raid another 3 times to get a full set.

If you need backup. Send me an invite Nick_or_Dawood PSN

But I understand if you are soloing it

 

[Flo_Evans]

Pretty sure they just said they were going to lower some bosses HP and dmg output.

 

[constantstatic]

Can anyone help me finish killing xyor in the summoning pits on ps4? I was right at the end and got booted or any tips to solo it?

 

[ZangBa]

GG

 

[pixxxelz]

So the other day when I was doing some strikes on the vanguard tiger playlist I got a legendary chest piece and a lvl 20 rare helmet (from different strikes) both for titan even though I haven't created a titan yet, is this normal or is bungie telling me to create a titan?

 

[BraXzy]

LMFAO!

Just played skirmish, and the three players on their team were being cocky in their titan bubble. So I thought, sod this, Gjallarhorn go! Next thing ya know, me and three cocky dudes in a bubble are all no longer living

Terrible sportsmanship from the AI.

Okay, that's freaking hilarious.

I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure the nightfall scales difficulty to team size.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Yes, you can avoid grinding all together by just playing the game, trying out different things, and then pretty much sticking to the things you like. Buying Dead Orbit/ FWC / NM class items and alternating what you wear does the trick.

Avoid grinding altogether? In this game?

Impossible.

 

[JdFoX187]

Goddamnit, I just busted out laughing at work. Everyone staring at me like there's something wrong.

 

[T-Rex.]

Just got a legendary engram which was decrypted into an exotic sniper and in the next match levelled up my crucible rank which got me a legendary scout rifle. FINALLY BUNGIE.

 

[todd360]

Just beat nightfall and hardest weekly. Got ass shards from nightfall and 9 strange coins. One member of my team got a hard light from the nightfall. Other got a purple rocket launcher. I'm glad I got the ass shards and not the rocket launcher. Ass shards are so precious. The game only wants you to grind like a thousand of them to get to level 30.

 

[RalchAC]

I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure the nightfall scales difficulty to team size.

Doesn't enemy health scale when there is not people in your party? At least that's what happens with story missions. I haven't soloed any strike so I dunno about that.

On Patrol it doesn't happen though.
