As a warlock or a hunter, am I better off having higher agility, or armor?
How much does agility or armor actually factor in? Does it make a noticeable difference?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

really? wow thats fucked, is that why i do not get rewards sometimes then.. even if it is my first one of the day..

I think its the Kill 3 Fallen Walkers bounty that is the case here, not the Public event reward. The person who gets the kill, gets the bounty. But if all the players are close to each other when it dies, then everybody gets the kill.

And yes, its a terrible design choice.

okay yeah that bounty sucks, but I am doing the ONE FOR ALL bounty this one I need to get gold on 3 public events

did not know they had suck silly ass design, I guess if you waited and fought and got nothing you would get mad lol

do exotic engrams drop from enemies ? havent seem one yet in over 40 hours playtime

Dont think so, but I have had 2 legendary engrams turn into exotics

 

[Unstable]

I'm fairly sure they don't. I've played this game for an ungodly number of hours and haven't seen one drop. Who knows though? My luck is always bad anyways. =)

 

[KoruptData]

Where is Xur?

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

No the Red Death is a monster in PvE, love the gun. Reminds me of the BR from Halo. In PvP it's not great.

Is the red death better than Suros in PvE?

Not really. Your best bet is to have your recovery as high as possible.

 

[JimmyRustler]

IIRC there are no exotic drops. You only have a chance that your legendary engram turns into an exotic.

In PvE?
How about pvp?

 

[Boltman]

I received Legendary Remote the other day so I haven't maxed it out. I feel like it isn't viable for PvE because of reload time and ammo count & range.

Doesn't seem right, Red Death will be my new PvE primary for now.

 

[Ambitious]

Haven't had a chance to play since last weekend. Well, I do now - let's see what Santa Cryptarch has brought me..

 

[Unstable]

I never really liked the Suros to be honest. The Red Death is still a pulse rifle, so your going to have to like that weapon type but it's still a beast pulse rifle. For PvE at least.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Same. The way Bungie decided to handle armor/agility is a bit dumb. Recovery is more useful in almost every imaginable scenario.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Where is Xur?

What? No we cant tell you this is part of the scarce game content. It is called hide and seek with Xur. It is a fun new aspect of the game.

Spoiler

He is in the Hall of Guardians

 

[Boltman]

Where is Xur?

To the right of all the class Vanguards.

 

[True Underdog]

Meh. Went ahead and bought the Saint helmet. It isn't going to replace my Crest of Alpha Lupi since it's maxed but I will throw it on if I end up getting the raid chest before the raid helmet. Already have the raid gauntlets (maxed) and raid boots (almost maxed) so I'd rather get the helmet first...

 

[Namikaze1]

Woke up wanting to visit Xur for his stock and a bounty I got to nearly get a heart attack from thinking my PS4 was dead. It wouldn't turn on. Everything was plugged in the right places. I got it to turn on. Now to take out Shadow of Mordor from the disk drive just in case.

Also, where's Xur this week?

 

[Twilight Gap]

Same. The way Bungie decided to handle armor/agility is a bit dumb. Recovery is more useful in almost every imaginable scenario.

if you're behind cover, recovery is irrelevant.

 

[figadapaura]

Both tbh. The only class where having high armour matters is Titan. You won't notice agility either. I made my recovery higher and I've noticed a massive difference.

 

[figadapaura]

Doesn't always work that way though. Especially in PvP.

Ok, thanks alot.

I spec for agiliity and armor, and I dont notice much of a difference. Figured I'd see what you guys thought.. thanks again!

 

[Cudder]

So what does blinding the enemy actually do with the Saint-14 helmet?

 

[ocean]

Is there a way to use my Vanguard Marks on armor for another class? I wanna use my main's leftover marks to gear up my alt for when he hits 20. Already got him Sunbreakers

 

[rdrr gnr]

if you're behind cover, recovery is irrelevant.

Nope. If where you are in cover isn't risky, sure. But the fact you are taking cover anyways means you are waiting for your health to get back up and shoot again. You, ideally, would spend less time in cover if armor gave a significant boost -- which it does not.

 

[Namikaze1]

Why the hell am I asking where's Xur when there's a big green icon leading me to him?!

Seriously though, I was scared that my PS4 was dead. I left it on stand by last night and found it completely shut down just five minutes ago.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Anyone bought the sparrow drive? Thoughts?

 

[Zakalwe]

Rare Shingen E at gunsmith for anyone who needs it.

Anyone bought the sparrow upgraded drive? Thoughts?

If there's ever a week Xur has nothing for me I'm buying it.

What I want to know is does it upgrade the sparrow's overall grade to Legendary?

 

[KoruptData]

Thanks guys. Looks like I'm saving my money this week.

 

[Warnen]

Got the gloves for my warlock, was still using blue ones. Wanted the rifle but didn't have enough coins

 

[Yu Narukami]

Bungie wants you to do everything again and again...

 

[UnluckyKate]

Ever receive titan's blinding grenande ? Same thing. Screen turn white for few seconds and you loose radar and hud

I had a little time yesterday to do a couple strikes. I've been doing the L22 for now. In both of them one of the other 2 players dropped and we had to do the boss fights with only 2 after making it most of the way to the boss. One of them was the ishtar sink, I think it is?.. where the guy comes out of the ship, we just kited him back and forth between us and killed the trash and the big eye. Not too bad but would have been significantly easier with the 3rd player.

The other one me and the guy I ended up with, it just took us a while because it was the strike on mars where the guy sits at the end of the room and you fire on him and kill trash while he fires rockets and then walks to the other end of the room then repeats. I haven't played a lot but I have done this one a few times and consider it one of the easier that I've done. Still, I didn't think we'd be able to do this one with 2 because I had to revive the other guy twice, but once he finally got a good spot and quit being a n00b, it wasn't nearly as hard.

I really notice that a lot of people don't use heavy weapons or buy heavy weapon ammo replenish, and they certainly don't seem to be switching to the right type of weapon dmg (void, fire, etc) to help eliminate tougher targets. Every time a yellow bar, the people are just firing and firing and firing and then I whip out the ol machine gun with the right dmg and the health bar just melts like butter

I'm still about 600 rep from rank 2 vanguard, but at least by the time I get there, I will have more than enough to buy a set of vanguard legendary. (I have like 125 marks and already have a better helm from rep or reward so I won't need to buy that piece)

As a L25 warlock I'm not sure which of the bonds are good since they don't seem to have stats. The one with the fire looks cool, though. Is there a difference, gaf?

Since I've been doing the L22 with ease I'll be starting L24 strikes tonight and finishing more bounties for the vanguard rep push. I just never started farming rep from the start, so I'm a bit behind atm on that.

 

[TheContact]

Where is xur today I don't have time to be playing hide and seek with this asshole
Edit nvm found him near vanguard guys

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

But wouldn't it be easier to do the low level Strikes from the planets or do they no count toward the bounty?

That's what I'm doing. I'm running the moon strike over and over.

Though I still don't feel like I'm efficient enough at it. I can do it in about 10 min, but I feel I could cut that by a minute or two.

 

[KoruptData]

Hall of Guardians. Down the middle.

 

[Silveredge9]

So I'm a lv26 hunter gunslinger looking for my first exotic and I'm tempted to go for the Xur helmet which grants an additional golden gun shot. Good investment or should I wait for something better?

 

[figadapaura]

fuck that guy

 

[Carn82]

Thanks guys. Looks like I'm saving my money this week.

Same.. already got the Queens helmet for my Hunter; not feeling much for burning coins for another helmet. Red Death looks okay I guess but I`ll skip this week.

7-8 minutes is my usual time.

I believe the Nexus strike can be done in even less time, mainly because you can skip almost every encounter.

 

[Sleepy Buddha]

Anyone wants to do the Weekly Heroic Strike (Level 28) with me today?

Or beat the final boss of the Raid?

Console: PS4
PSN ID: same as my GAF username

I'd like to do the 28 Weekly, but I can't do it for another 11 to 12 hours. It's midday here in Portugal and I'll only be able to play at around midnight (work and RL). If you're interested in adding me anyway in case we get the chance:

PSN: Sleepy_Buddha
Level 27 Warlock

If you like gambling and have enough motes, buy the engram. It could turn into something better.

 

[TTG]

Finally got Bad Juju. It's probably shit in pvp, but I think it will be effective otherwise. The magazine is very small, but it looks like "string of curses" all but eliminates that issue. I'm assuming the impact stat is what will be buffed, the rest looks like it comes a long way once upgraded. Anyway, it's nice to no longer be using a blue item in the primary weapon slot.

 

[Silveredge9]

I tried that once already and got a helmet for my nonexistent Titan.

 

[CRA5H]

Okay, my lvl 20 warlock will be decked out with exotics and legendaries thanks to Xur and RNG.

Spoiler

Too bad I haven't created one yet.

 

[Unstable]

Finally got Bad Juju.

My condolences.

 

[Bastos]

I don't know if I should get Red Death or Saint-14. I know that both are very useful on PvP but what's the one that'll bring better results?

Step in my bubble, get blind and mauled to Death or Killed you, now my life is charging again?

I won't be lucky enough to get 13 coins after buying the Red Death I guess...

 

[figadapaura]

Ah, buy the helmet then. Extra Golden Gun shot sounds great.

 

[Namikaze1]

Quick question:

Clash or Control for both Depleted Hand Cannon Bounty and Darkness-Infused Pulse rifle bounty? I got void auto and sniper rifle for the hand cannon bounty and just need less than 400 points to complete it.
