So I guess the patch went live.
Raid armor is legendary gear found within the raid. It offers higher light levels than traditional legendary gear and allows players, when fully upgraded, to reach level 30.
It is not guaranteed that you get some during the raid (which freaking sucks btw) and is RNG like anything else.
During the raid there are checkpoints and after each checkpoint you can receive a reward which is possibly raid gear. So you do not have to finish the raid completely to get some.
Raid gear is gear that gets you to lvl 30. You need a full set of it or 3 pieces of it and one exotic piece. They have a max of 30 light and are the only pieces of armor that do other than exotics which you can only equip one of.

Raid Armor is Legendary (purple) but has defensive and light stats equal to Exotics. Currently, having a full set of maxed-out Raid Armor, or 3 pieces of maxed-out Raid Armor and one exotic maxed out is the only way to get to level 30.
You are not guaranteed Raid Armor in the raid, only a random chance like every other loot roll in Destiny. You don't need to beat the raid, it is possible to receive them from chests along the way.

Wow, I just got Legendary Body Armor for doing the Daily Story Mission. I think I like this new patch.

scout rifles are really only meant to beat out AR's at longer ranges. Mid range AR's do beat out Scout rifles too often I think, but at long range AR's don't stand a chance. So you should really be only picking a scout rifle for bigger maps.
Dust palace is the exclusive PS4 strike I believe.
O_O idk but I hope so. And Trials of Osiris hopefully has that too.

So no one for queens wrath? I figure farming the earth one a few times should be pretty quick.
Also, finally got another exotic bounty! Picked up the one for super good advice, which shouldn't take too long to complete.

It's so awesome. I just hope there is enough stuff in the loot pool to make it interesting until the DLC hits.
Legendary gear with same amount of light upgrades as Exotic. But unlike exotic, you can equip a full set of it.

Yeah, but if you get a kill, your clip automatically fills back up.

Thanks for the information! That was well explained!

I think it's random unless he's talking about something else. I know whenever I level up I get 3 engrams and they seem to be random. Sometimes it's 3 legendaries, sometimes its 3 rares, sometimes a mix

PS3 as well.

If you do play PvE at some point, you'll get a much better idea of the extreme range at which a scout rifle is still effective. PvP just barely ever sees combat outside the range at which an autorifle is still effective.
I dunno if they'll ever be able to balance things for both modes. They're just too different.
I hope so, that would be a worthy PvP equivalent in order to hit 30 without the raid. I don't remember the stats for Iron Banner armor in the alpha/beta though.

Why pass, when you can dismantle shit for ass shards my friend?
"Dude, wtf, you already have that!"
"Oh shit man, wrong button.. my bad"
Because everyone in the group would still get guaranteed shards. There would just *also* be a loot drop that is rollable. If it becomes a problem, then make raid gear not dismantleable.

I'm talking about the Dust Palace area on Mars, not the strike. You can access it via The Hollows/Buried City.
Yeah, it's random, but it's already determined before we ever see it.
Yep. One man short now.

Can I get in on this?
Getting a legendary engram knowing that it will be a legendary item.
Feels weird, man.
The HUD disappears for a split second after closing down the menu screen. Take your chance there.

This game would benefit so much from HUD toggle, so much great vistas etc. to screenshot. HUD ruining all of them outside of cutscenes
Also this, black ghost?
All pics here if interested, 30 total.

What about a sudden death mode where when something drops it teleports everyone to a small arena with a random weapon and no supers, and last man standing wins the gear? It could have random modifiers like low gravity, bullets travel in circles/wavy lines, drunk effect, or a storyline.

..and I got myself "The Devil You Know" hand cannon in the mail! Woop woop!
I have heard Shadow Price is great. and the differences are in the mods- can be better or worse even depending on playstyle really.
I'm about to have 150 Vanguard and 150 Crucible marks to spend. It's time for a couple Legendary weapons. I have a scout rifle, and I'll be buying a hand cannon. That leaves one I need input on.
Rule out Auto Rifles and Pulse Rifles too, what's a good Vanguard/Crucible weapon? Do they sell any Special weapons with Void damage?
Might wind up buying something you wanna level with that bonus from Xur this weekend

Better yet, no weapon. Only fisticuffs.
They love the smell of fresh meat. I think it's hilarious.

Level 25 here. I'm still rocking green primaries in PvP. I've only found 2-3 blue primaries TOTAL, 0 legendary/exotic primaries for me 
.
So anyway, Shingen vs Cydonia. I was running Shingen forever since it seemed like the defacto best AR, but after looking closer at the stats, I honestly think the cydonia might be preferable. Slower ROF, MUCH higher impact, smaller mag, about the same for everything else. The cydonia is like the SCAR-H and the ACE-52 in BF4, which I was always partial to. Thoughts? I tried it for a couple of rounds and did well, but it's really hard to say if the TTK is higher or lower.

I started up Destiny today and it didn't download anything. Also no patch in the download notifications but I checked the materials in my inventory and they are shown as legendary now....guess I do have it? Gonna open up these 5 (possibly 6 later) Cryptarch packages and hope I don't get screwed.
cool so thats 2 for sure, and i have a friend coming making that 4
just need to hear form the others who said they can make it earlier
I'm up for some runs. PSN: Atrophis

from reddit:
"The fact is that ward of dawn is beaten by every other super.
Golden gun 2 shots the dome leaving one for the guy inside.
Bladedancer will mince even the heavily armoured, harder to kill, overshielded guy inside.
Fist of havoc will pass straight through and smash anyone inside.
Nova Bomb will wipe the shield in initial hit and the aoe aftermath will kill the occupants in a milisecond.
Sunsinger are even HARDER to kill with flame shield, radiance before they run straight through the bubble throwing a solar grenade inside as they pass through slaaping you with a melee for good measure.
Ward of dawn counters everything but supers. But all supers>WoD
Best use for it so far is NOT standing inside it but on the opposite side of the enemy. Use it as cover.
Or drop it in confined spaces with helm of Saint-14 on. Blinds anyone walking through it. The really dont expect it."

As someone that has to play 22 strikes within the next 2 days, this pleases me.

Does the reward Encrypted Engram still appear after your first Strike along with the Mark and Reputation rewards?
Vanquisher is like a shingen but with more impact. That's what I'm going for
