Give it a shot. Especially at the lower levels, it's not very demanding from a gameplay perspective and there's some aim assist going on. Your skills will probably improve as you play as well.

Can you be more specific for those of us at work and itching to get home to play please?
I hope so as well. I'm not really interested in the raids but primarily play the PvP. Iron Banner would be a nice equivalent.

If you go into options and then back out you have a decent window to snap a shot without HUD you don't use the ghost at all.

Question about this new patch.
I've run the Vanguard Tiger strike list like a million times before this patch and never got any reward above a blue, aside from a few purple engram drops. With this new patch, are the rewards in tiger better? I had to stop doing them because it was just a waster of time.

I just wish there were some dynamic elements and some surprises. Its a nice feeling to refine your technique over several playthroughs, but the more you do so the less dangerous and more rote each strike becomes.
Considering how much you play and replay and replay them, some skulls that alter behavior, or some dynamic spawns or something would help keep teams on their toes on replays.
Really? What have you been getting? done 2 and nothing so far.

I fucking hate that the easiest Queen's Bounty is the worst one because I have to sit through the Speaker cutscene EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME. after it.

The system would have been fine if they didn't use the same horrible color scheme for everything.
Bungie likes this whole White->Green->Blue->Purple->Yellow thing they got going, which is fine. If strictly armor worked this way, that would have been okay. They could have done that, and then done something like Bronze/Silver/Gold engrams, with the original reward rates, and people wouldn't have noticed as much, but it's confusing to see Purple=/=Purple.
Even the ammo seems confused. Why is Heavy ammo not Blue? Why does it skip that one color, we have White for Primary, Green for Special, Purple for Heavy, and even a bright yellow bar for our Super. Why did we skip blue here? Honestly, this issue right here bugs me more than it should.

They've already explained it.
Before the randomness he was just en Exchange Button. Adding the randomness gave him "character".
You know I got my Hawkmoon in their, right?
The trick is to melee the Psion Flayers as often as possible
Go to orbit right after the rewards pop up and your still waiting for the 30 second countdown to end.

I...never thought about that.
Oh fuck. Why did I never think of that.
Lots of non-thinking going on for me.

3 in a row just now and I got nada.
OK here are some non scientific numbers.
I have done 8 tiger strikes. After 7 strikes I got 2 blues, after one I got four. Maybe a third of these were blue engram's. I also got one blue engram's to drop every two strikes.
I never saw a legendary drop for me or group members during or after. Also none of those blues decrypted into legendary materials or gear.
So in short tiger strike playlist is only good for farming marks NOTHING else. During these strikes I think we only had one wipe.
In short tiger strike playlist is still sadly garbage and that sucks for people who want to play without doing a bunch of bugging people on forums or spamming them on psn.
I'm probably going to stop playing until the expansion once 2k15 comes out and gamefly sends shadow of mordor. Unless I check on GAF at the perfect time when someone needs a raid or nightfall member there's simply nothing for me to do to advance.

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.
Edit: Member
nice shots. but yea if you double tap options and then the share button, the hud disappears for a split seconds. you gotta be quick though.
here's a shot i really like but the HUD didn't disappear fast enough.
They said they originally wanted there to be a surprise element lol. SURPRISE YOUR LEGEDARY IS A COMMON!
Hmm, I never have that speaker cutscene when I beat the mission.

Jesus... whether or not that was in jest, it's probably accurate.
Tried the Raid for the first time with an amazingly cool group of gaffers. Haven't beaten Atheon yet, we decided to try again tomorrow.
So far, I've gotten: 6 Ascendant Energies, 9 Ascendant Shards, a metric fuckload of green gear (wtf?) and a Legendary Shotgun: Found Verdict.
I'm dying to try it out once I unlock the full-auto upgrade. So far so good! I really hope the final boss drops one of those elemental primaries or some Raid (+30 light) armor tomorrow. Here's hoping!

When the mission end timer shows up, just go to orbit.

It sounds like they just lowered the drop chance of purple engrams.
Whoever said the patch seemed better just because of perception is right.
Yeah if you're above lv 22ish having 50 blue engram's drop just means you're going to have 2000 weapon parts and armor craps yay.
Anybody remember the talk about the "5th race" in the early stages of Destiny teases?
Think we'll see these guys/gals before Destiny 2?
Vex | Fallen | Cabal | Hive | ????
Had an epiphany today. (make fun if this is wacky or mentioned already) I bet this 5th races is the "Darkness" or those consumed or controlled by the darkness. Any and all races... potentially even humans/guardians.
Anyone remember this pic of Cabal and Fallen side by side almost being controlled with a common green glow and billowing black smoke/dust stuff?
Am i crazy? lol
yeah.. still waiting for this:
Yeah. I was ready to throw strike playlist in the bushes til I saw that in the completion screen.Wait, what? As a reward? I've never gotten shit from the Tiger playlist

Hey!
So What are your thoughts on buying a scout rifle with explosive head shots instead of the shadow prince.
Thoughts? Should I wait till the weapon patch?

My friend bought it even though he sucks at FPS games and loves it. Don't let that stop you. Besides, PvE doesn't require much FPS skill.
If you haven't gotten the invective yet then do Dubious Task. That's the best weapon there.
Thanks I opted for Invective
level up cryptarch and what do i get in the mail? 2 rares that stay rare.
still getting trolled
So once you start the NF, you just need to exit the "strike" area and find level 28 enemies, no matter where they are? I'm on XB1 btw. if someone was assuming Dust Palace area was exclusive or something. Should have the same NF strike as PS guys.

Does it give Blue or Purp Engries?
yeah.. still waiting for this:
wow totally forgot about these.
though I'm not interested anymore, story is shit anyways so I'm not that into the universe as I would like to be.
But I agree with the above theory that the 5th faction would be somethign like the darkness itself.
Well who knows, maybe Xur is possessed by darkness, we have no idea why he looks like he does
