you know it to be true

Agreed, that is some super good advice (see what I did there? OK, I'll leave...)
 
I could disagree with you, saying that they are easy when you do them right, and people already solo them, which is all true, but honestly a lot of the endgame stuff seems more tedious then fun. You die so fast that you need to just find a hiding spot, adds spawn like crazy on bosses, and everything is a bullet sponge. Sure you can exploit the damage bonus, but then you have weeklys like this week that don't have one. The game basically encourages you to find the best cheesing spot for bosses.

This isn't from someone who can't or doesn't do nightfalls either. I will continue to do them as well, just I can see the point of view of people that don't like the endgame stuff.
Eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh

Wallach and I duoed this week's Nightfall as soon as it came out. It wasn't tedious, we didn't cheese, and basically went fast as hell. I had a blast. You need good arc weapons and you can rip it apart. I'm honestly more concerned with the regular weekly heroic because despite the checkpoints, the arc damage bonus especially on the boss just tore him up. However, I will be able to equip Pocket Infinity as a tradeoff for not needing Arc, so...

Tiger Strikelist increased odds only on daily first run, stop wasting your time running additional runs
Where are you getting this? Extra misinformation is not going to help anyone ;_;
 
Lvl 22, no legendary yet.
Updated Rahool and only got blues.
One of them decoded to a legendary titan plate.

I'm a hunter.
 
Now Strikes feel good because you get things for completing them. Already picked up a few upgrades and I am back in love with the game.
 
I also hate first light but can bear bastion. I think it's because on capture the centre capture point is reasonable, but on first light it always seems to end in a cluster of people rushing point A over and over with some edge camping snipers.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp.
This is why I rock my Hand Cannon with a Sniper secondary. Hawkmoon for the close to mid, Praedyth's Revenge for counter-sniping. It's good times.
yeah, that'd be better... I have a bad habit of hate-sharding sniper rifles but I did get Final Boss, so I'll try that.


On another note, I'm beginning to feel that the Burning Shrine is legitimately one of my favorite console FPS maps of all time.
 
Gamestop employee gave me a code for it without pre-ordering. It is the best looking shader in the game so far imo.

Official Destiny shader tier list:

God Tier: Chatterwhite

Top Tier: Blacksmith ($$$)

It'll-do-until-you-get-Chatterwhite Tier: Bloodpact

Gundam Cosplay Tier: Gilgamesh, Achilles, Beowulf, etc

Trash tier: everything else except

Why-are-all-these-in-the-game Tier: All the fucking purple shaders. Why are there so many shitty purple shaders

It's probably just like the Daily Heroic, where after you run it once the Encrypted Engram reward disappears. Then you're back to getting nothing guaranteed.
 
Is this thread going to stay in the gaming section for like an extra week after the 9th? It moves so damn fast and already has over 200K views and on its 6th thread.

So much for being a bad game.



Note: I think Destiny is fun to play. Which is the most important thing for me.

I was responding to a guy that was having trouble with the weekly not the nightfall, and even addressed the benefit that bonus damages give to make the runs fun. The arc bonus on this weeks nightfall made shit really easy. Being able to kill the tank with one reload of my sniper without ever being in danger was amazing. Doing the last boss without the crate safe zones would have been unbearable on the 28 weekly though.
 
5 tiger strikes in and haven't seen any purps or legendary engrams for me or anyone else

They really need to make lv 26 strikes and and the weekly matchmaking.

24 is just too easy
 
I really don't mind first light at all, its easy enough not to get sniped on all cap points (just stand inside them). But yeah, most people prefer ranged fighting on that map and its really powerful if you have the right vantage points. I'd only play control there, clash is a pretty boring game mode for me. I will share a protip: the best way to play bastion (if you don't like using a sparrow or sniping) is to return to orbit :)
see that explains it, it does have logic on control, but I prefer clash to control personally, and first light on clash is snipe or create fights where hopefully you can't be sniped.
burning shrine, shores of time and rusted lands are the 3 best maps.
I need to come around on rusted lands. I'm coming around on Firebase Delphi and legitimately like Blind Watch. Blind Watch is hand cannon heaven.

Try not to confuse a lot of posts with quality content, or trying to attach view count to game quality. The game was never Bad, but it does suffer from a lot of questionable design choices which do not benefit the game at all.

A confirmation here would be nice. I don't want to be running strike after strike tonight and expect something to drop that has no chance to drop.

Not saying you're wrong, I'm just not sure where that's coming from.
 
That sucks picked up a Legendary letter from the postmaster and it was 2 Rares. I expected Legendary.

Oh well got my 2 Shards so I'll buy some Legendary gauntlets then dismantle them and use the Shards to upgrade my armour and hit level 28.

God of war shader is nice.

That's a Daily. there is absolutely no reason whatsoever it should apply to the tiger strike playlist. It's not in the notes, it's not mentioned in the preview, and it makes no sense. Until confirmed I am going to assume it is complete misinformation.

Only dirty peasants show such disrespect for the best color, Purple is regal as fuck.

I know gaf doesn't equal the world. But it's just interesting to see anyway. And yes the game is not perfect i'll admit.
 
Rewards

Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for:
Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist
Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day)
Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)

That's from Bungie's patch notes. Note it doesn't say "first time per day" after the Tiger Strike Playlist.
