I need to get together with some of you and get the weekly, Night Fall and possibly the Raid done. I'm a level 27 Hunter and yet to attempt the Raid.
 
Yep, having the same problem. Really torpedoing my attempts to get these clan trophies. Why Bungie, why do we have to be friends with every person just for match making...

I think this has been going on at least since this weekend. Get notification (for anything), content doesn't show until 5-10 minutes later.

Haven't heard if Sony is aware yet...
 
So guys, I'm rolling with my thorn right now but I'm looking to get a nice legendary handcannon for when I want to use an exotic secondary/heavy, what would you recommend?
 
Does anyone know how much xp is required for each exotic weapon upgrade? Is it consistent?
I tried to figure this out recently. The method proposed was... not ideal. Basically, you need to look at a point where you have an almost-totally-empty upgrade, then turn in a bounty, then look at how much the green circle moved around the next upgrade. Account for the 20% XP buff if active, and you could roughly calculate how much per upgrade by how much of the circle was filled as a fraction and multiply the XP you got for that bounty by the denominator...

I think it's consistent but I have no idea what the number is.
The Devil You Know is solid.
*fistbump*

Red Hand IX and the Lord High Fixer are also good choices.
 
The area where the cave towards the archon strike is, is pretty good. Bunch of caves with possible spawning chests and lots of flower spawns as well. Ran around there for about 30-40 minutes and got around 70.
I did this route for a bit this morning-- also great for any fallen bounties you may have (other than majors/ultras). The Fallen spawn in large numbers and quickly.
 
Any Hard Raid-goers? Level 29 Hunter here. PS4: SharkJAW. I'll be on from 2-3:30 PM (EST), then from 5:00 until however long it takes for me to beat it.
 
Going to do some Tiger Strikes but I would like to get the Queen's Sniper. Anyone else on PS4 looking for it? I would like to run them a few times. Join me or hit me up on here and we can try. Thanks

i finally finished the pocket infinity bounty

what's the max magazine though?
8, but after you play around with the hilarity of blasting those off (it has a chance to regain too, so you might wind up firing 10 blasts in full auto), you'll come around to the magic of Perfect Balance (which puts you back to 3)- firing mostly from the hip, ADS only when you need the range, and treat it like a Fusion Pulse Rifle. Make the shots counts, but do keep lots of ammo synthesis on hand.

It's exquisite.
 
You'll find out that no matter how good you are, if your teammates fuck up, it's back to checkpoint.

The problem is I don't have real friends playing the game but I've been playing with gaffers most of the time and most of them are very good.
 
Do we expect that Iron Banner will ultimately open up deeper gear progression paths for PVP players? While I'd love to one day raid, for all the same reasons others here lament not being able to commit given work, family, etc.. I suspect I may never get in until a time when it's no longer relevant (kind of like when WoW finally added the LFG matching for raids years later at which point they were trivial and the gear was mostly moot).

At least in WoW one could commit fully to PvP and still attain end game caliber progression. I'm kind of bummed that the one and only path to advance in Destiny is solely PVE. Hopefully that changes over time.

BTW bought Mordor, left work early to play on Tuesday, ended up playing Destiny all day. I can't quit you. (finally did play Mordor and it's pretty sweet but merely a distraction)
 
I really really need to do nightfall and weekly. Never did any nightfall and i need all the coins i can get.

25 coins and 33 motes right now.
 
Did you not get it on Tuesday? We were all the same clan. :/

Oh, I got the Raid trophy last week. I need the Strike one.

Also, anyone want to help me with Level 28 Heroic Weekly? I'm starting it up now. I don't feel like using my mic, though, as I'm watching Giant Bomb at the same time. But if you join and want to chat I'll put it on.

Please this. I didn't get any armour when I did the raid, and if that happens again I'm going to cry :(
3 weeks in a row now for me (first week got to Atheon and couldnt beat him, last two weeks I completed it) and I havent gotten any raid armor. Ive gotten the raid sniper, raid scout rifle, and a shit ton of shards though.

I'm looking for the sniper as well. PSN: UnionCarbine. I'm usually on for an hour or so at around 9PM EST. I've got a bunch of Queen Kill Orders stockpiled.
 
Well gaf, I'm officially done with this game. After playing for 30 hour, this game just doesn't have the content to keep me going.

I'm not sure if all weapon progression "circles" are weighted the same, but according to the undocumented API per weapon there is a total XP counter like follows:

Code:
  "progressToNextLevel": 2199, "nextLevelAt": 9000,"step":0

This is from a legendary pulse rifle I've barely used. I assume it means I've acquired 2199 experience with it active and I have 9000 to go before the next weapon feature unlocks (step 1).

No idea if that 9000 value changes or not. If you have an exotic primary that isn't fully upgraded - link me your bungie profile and I'll take a look. I assume the "nextLevelAt" value is weighted different for rares/legendary and exotics

That's what I'm going to do next time I reach a new circle. Was hoping someone had done it already. :3

Thanks man.
 
So I did Nightfall twice for some of my friends yesterday and was carrying around the Bad Juju Bounty. Turns out Nightfall counts as 3 strikes :D Does anyone know if the Weekly counts for more then one? Also what's the shortest strike I could do to get my 25 before Xur bails on Saturday? Are the strike playlists a good idea or should I just run a short one over and over?

I would run the strikes that had bounties first and then switch between earth and moon raids on easy and sometimes mix it up with the vanguard playlists. It took me about 3 days with 2-3 hours each day to complete it but I was doing other things like bounties, patrols and public events for a change of pace.
 
Man, I'm rolling in exotic weapons now. Bought the Suros from Xur, found MIDA scout rifle from a legendary engram, got Invectus and Super Good Advice from bounties, and have the Thorn bounty to complete. But I only have one legendary weapon dammit (The Devil You Know)! Could really use a purple special and heavy.

The only faction I have enough rep with to buy one is Vanguard, and once I hit the cap for the week I'll have only 146 marks or something. Crucible I'll have enough marks but I don't think I'll hit level 3 with them this week seeing as I'm just a bit into level 1.

Funny that I've got plenty of orange weapons but ain't got that purple.

Armor is the complete opposite, all legendaries but no exotic yet.

I'm at work but I'll play with you whenever if you need a guy.

Sent you a req

try this https://www.bungie.net/en/Legend/2/4611686018429499189/2305843009215623603#gear

let me know when you look cause I can swap out some other exotics to at different upgrade levels to test.
 
Tell me I'm not the only person dumb enough to regularly take out his ghost to call a Sparrow only to hold down the Return to Orbit button without realising.

Must happen at least once every few hours. My god damn decrepit brain. Party chat has evolved from, "What the... where did Springy go?" to "Re-invite Springy, he's done it again."

eh, doesn't sound like it's for me then. already have a solar fusion rifle for PvE with 8 shots and good stability. i don't feel like wasting an exotic slot for a full auto gimmick. maybe it'll be useful for the moon raid or something.

seems like at this point i'm just collecting exotics.
 
I'm so buying Lord High Fixer once I get enough Crucible marks. Been eying it for a while now. Got The Devil You Know from an engram. Just didn't do it for me.
No kidding- what was your issue with it?

Oh, if anyone wants in on the pick three items challenge, I'm starting to analyze the responses, so this is your last chance to be counted if you wanna contribute. So far, with 23 responses, there is still yet to be a complete 3-for-3 overlap/match.

If you already posted and want to make sure you've been counted, check here

It feels unlike any other fusion rifle in PvP to me, but of course it's up to you, give it a shot or just put it in the vault for a rainy day.
 

Oh cool. Did this last week but had no luck running into them. Hopefully I'll find them this time.

I haven't had any issues with the netcode at all :-X There are some quirks to its priority (postmortem melee kills) but this is consistent and predictable- it doesn't affect my play, it's just a little funny and video-gamey. I know others have had more severe issues but I've only seen a guy rubberbanding around once and occasionally people becoming bullet sponges while in the process of disconnecting. For the most part it seems rock solid as far as anything Peer-to-Peer goes.

It's been really bad for both me and my friends. At first I thought it was just my connection (despite never having problems like this in other games), but when I played with friends they had the same problem. And given the amount of complaints here and elsewhere, it has to be on Bungie's end.

It seems like every other match someone is rubber-banding/teleporting or just not taking damage. I'm also getting really tired of killing someone and then suddenly dropping dead 2-3 seconds later. I don't know what the deal is. It was fine in both the Alpha and the Beta, same with the first two weeks or so of launch. Now it's gotten much worse.
