I've never gotten a legendary weapon from a legendary engram, but I did get the Strange Suspect from a rare engram.

So I've got that going for me.
 
I soloed the Daily Heoric at level 24 for an Ass Shard. Got energy instead :/

Then I figured since the level 26 Daily gives two Ass things, I'd try it to get an extra chance. Turns out, I get nothing for the level 26 if I already did the level 24. WTF.

I thought it was like the Weekly where if you do a lower difficulty, you can still get Coins from re-running at a higher difficulty (just discounting the Coins you'd already gotten).
 
Wait, they did have a trading system for this game BUT THEY TOOK IT OUT!? :(

Damn it Bungie why!? Would have been great for those of us who got exotics/legendaries that are not for our class.

I'm glad trading got taken out last thing I'd want is beggars message spamming.
 
So with all the patch talk, new Nightfall, etc has anyone tried the Queen's missions to see if they are giving new stuff for this final week?

I'm excited for the Iron Banner but I get the feeling it's probably gonna reaaaaaaally suck. I have a few Exotics (Suros & Invective) along with a few legendaries but nothing is fully upgraded because of those insane requirements.

I'm decent to good at the Crucible but I'm betting all those high light dudes who completely blow in vanilla Crucible will have just enough of a advantage that it'll suck for anyone under level 28 or whatever.

There's gonna have to be some damn good rewards in Iron Banner for me to try it more than a couple of times, I think.
 
I've been thinking, why is the Devil Walker the most interesting fight in the strikes?

One shot cannon, damage to expose weak spot, able to disable it's secondary cannon, spawns it's own adds. Why are none of the mechanics, or any other new mechanics seen or introduced in other strikes?

The tank mini boss in the Earth Strike? Doesn't really stand out to me.
 
question for ppl who´ve done the weekly nightfall solo already, how good were your arc weapons?
i (27 sunsinger) just tried it with a blue sniper (230 atk) and a blue rocketlauncher (230 atk) and didn´t manage to do more than ~3000 damage per rocket and ~2000 per bullet. i didn´t even get him down to half health before i got taken out by the adds.
Soloing...? The "burn boss down in record time" strategy for the nightfall is really only an option if you have multiple people with mondo arc stuff (legendaries exotics). If you're soloing you'll have to play painstaking, deal with adds one by one as they spawn, and chip away little by little to get him down. An arc fusion rifle will go a long way toward dealing with the adds themselves.
 
so you can help people who are doing the first phase of the raid ? 6 people were trying to get the spire up while i was doing patrol

helped them get it up but they disappeared after i entered the vault lol

The dumb Star Fox-esque hover tank from the Mars strike is almost the same fight, minus the weak point being exposed.
 
That's crazy, I'll add it to the spreadsheet and see how it looks. I was only getting 1.7k crits on Aethon with that and WoL (IIRC)... and that would make the results a lot bigger. Aethon might have the 50% dmg resist that most yellow bars do.

(There's still a lot I DONT know and some of this could be wrong)

Watching Datto's attempt he was doing 675% damage with Weapons of light active at the same time.

Yea when I realized that for the first time I was really really surprised. Didnt realize the actual entrance was a part of the whole shared-world experience XD Didn't notice others around us the first time we did the Raid.

because they had to look good for the beta

I think the comment meant the mechanics of the fight, where you destroy the legs and it exposes the weak spot, you can also destroy its turret as well if needed, with the other bosses you don't get that.

You do get that with the floating tank on mars as well.
 
Hand cannon only lobby would be awesome.

I would love to set up custom lobbies/servers. Is it possible to get a full control game with friends?

Nope, unfortunately. Matchmaking is all random there is no way to select a map or invite people to fight against.
 
5 (6 actually) strange coins > 2 Ass Energies :D
Think about it though...

Two nightfall runs, 5 coins (5 actually), 2 ass energies. At least the 2nd run I got an actual weapon.

I mean... you can't make this stuff up.

Meanwhile, you, 1 run, ice breaker. Game over. That's it. Doesn't get any better than that. They could mail you $1000 and it still wouldn't be better. YOU WON.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping too. From what I remember during the Beta the Iron Banner vendor had some really badass armor (for Titans) at least so even if it sucks I might be willing to suck it up for the loot :(

I'm thinking whenever I end doing the Raid I might finally come around to creating a Hunter alt but that could still be a few weeks off. I mostly want to do it for the Golden Gun/Bladedancer in the Crucible lol.
 
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?
There is. If you go to Roster and select a player that's playing Destiny, the option is there. It may be grayed out if they don't have their settings to "invite only", but by default mine is set to "friends only". Already had Krogan join up with me for a couple of early Queen's Wrath missions.

Anyway, I'm on PS3 if anyone wants to add me. ID is same as GAF name.
 
Completed Nightfall solo. Was hoping to do it with someone else from that Destiny LFG site, but the dude clearly didn't believe I was up to his standards. So I did it on my own and thank my lucky stars, I was able to finish it in one run. Must have been close to death at least over 10 times in the final room. My rare rocket launcher really came in handy. Now if only I can get some legendary rocket launchers

Cue the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory song...
