Anyone want to help me kill Valus on the Weekly Strike? I'm up to him now and would love if two people could join me and kill him.

PS4 PSN is rics17

Add if you want to help. :)
 
Looking for PS4 players to go into the VoG for the first time with me.
Experienced players are also welcome, if you feel like guiding us through it.

I'm a level 28 warlock. PSN: PewPewPewBow
 
I went with Bad Ju Ju
well, er, it's gonna get buffed!
I beg to differ. If you do the raid enough times to actually get 4 pieces of raid gear, you will have shards coming out both of your assholes.

Furthermore, you need to reach level 29 so that you can do the raid on Hard, thus giving you twice as many chances per week to get the raid gear you need to reach 30. Definitely spend your shards to get to 29.
it's a matter of opinion really. if you want to do the hard mode raid ASAP then you wanna hit 29 asap in whatever matter possible. if you're okay taking things more slowly then waiting at 28 to spend your shards on your first raid gear is a reasonable approach too.
 
Tiger strike playlist, daily heroic, and weekly give blues and legendaries as potential rewards.

I hope your right but I read this:
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)


as meaning that before, these activities never offered engrams, NOW these three offer engrams, Tiger offering Blue, Heroic stuff offering Purple.

I'd love to be wrong.

Yeah, 28 isn't going to cut it if you want to do hard mode. You'll be limited your chances at getting raid gear / better gear from hard mode.
 
Ridiculously optimistic thought processes.

"Damn, I'm hurt, but I did a sliver of damage to him! I know I'll win if I get one more chance!"

I call it testing my boundaries. It's a method of making yourself the most efficient player possible.

Now, there is a component where you should be learning from your failures, and not full on repeating them.
 
If it isn't Raid Gear don't bother. It will be a waste to get to lvl 30.

True but I already did the raid this week and Nightfall yesterday (did not get the gear, just bunch of weapons). I would rather just get to level 29 so that I'm capable of doing the Hard Mode Raid.

You're reading that wrong. Tiger offers blue and purple.
 
The raid has not been kind to me, mostly Ascendant Energy and now I have 2 sets of the same leg armour and 2 the same Found Verdict shotguns from it. We did manage to finish the raid though and I got the white shader and Atheon's Epilogue, so a good end to it at least.

Oh, I can tell you that you're wrong just based on how it's written :P

Each one of those activities gives as a reward, one or more rolls for either a blue or purple engram.
 
lol yeah, feels like they decreased the chance to get purples from the postmaster.

Technically they did. I think the thing a lot of people aren't realizing is that the drop rate of legendaries wasn't going to increase with this patch. It's just now when you get that engram that's going to turn in to a blue, it will actually be a blue engram instead of purple.
 
I worded it poorly / didn't fully flesh out my thoughts. Apologies, it's on me. Figures, I make fun of people for not reading (not you two) and then craft a poor post. Of course.

I remember reading the character bit and the exchange bit, but I guess what I mean is, why wasn't it tested properly so they could see people freak the fuck out?

The only thing I can think of is they explained, in detail, beforehand how the engrams worked so people knew purple != purple necessarily.



Same, I exit to orbit immediately and never get it.




A guy in Crucible was absolutely annihilating people with that thing last night :(.

I think it would have been fine if the purples at least USUALLY gave you a legendary, just like the greens usually gave you an uncommon and the blues usually gave you a rare, but occassionally gave you junk from a lower tier. But for whatever reason they made the purples only rarely give you legendary stuff, so they weren't even consistent across the various tiers. You could argue that some randomness of having these WTF moments keeps things more interesting, but what they had before was basically the expectation of disappointment.
 
Got an exotic bounty! Had Bad Juju, Thorn, and Invective but I chose the Thorn bounty. Primary shotgun sounds cool but I LOOOOVE hand cannons.
 
Finally!

Got my first exotic bounty, it's for Thorn. I feel like I've made it now in the world of Destiny.

You have it slightly wrong. Blue engrams are guaranteed to be blue and up now. Purple, purple and up.
 
Strike playlist still needs fixing. Why am I having to run th same strike 4 times in a row?

Also, we need more and higher level strikes to keep this game doing. I don't really care to raid, I like getting in for a bit, doing some strikes and getting off.

In that vein, gam is running out of content, and the loot table, is woefully inadequate.

Invective's no primary- you're thinking of the Universal Remote. Thorn's getting buffed soon so good call.
Oh nice. I'll get started when I can. :D

(I should also level up my alts after. Could easily get a lot more shards/ energy that way)
And Strange Coins, motes of light, and outright gear (marks, vendor rank rewards)
 
Beat the raid with my clan last night for the first time. The next raid won't hit till the expansion in Dec right? Think it's time to start my alts.

The chance for purples coming from a blue has increased in the patch, which is nice in theory.
 
I'm not saying that it won't be lethal in the right hands, but to me it felt very underwhelming in PVP. I've also come up against it before and didn't see it as much of a threat.

Yeah I tend to aim for the junk area and it's an instant one shot from even 20 feet. In full auto all you have to keep pulling down on analog and you keep it accurate. Just went 16-0 with it on skirmish last match.

That's what I mean. Pre-patch the majority of purple engrams you got were still going to turn in to blues and, because of that, you found more purple engrams. Now those purple engrams that were going to turn in to blues are actually blue so there are less purple engrams.
