Can i do the weekley strike more than once and a week and still get 3 coins?

I have played a lot and the game have denied me from any type of legendary or rare sniper....I can see Bungie laughin about it

 

[realcZk]

Anyone have a fully upgraded "The Devil You Know"? How is it? I'm wanting to give Handcannons a spin and I haven't found a single one - even rare that is level 20. If it's worth the 150 marks I'll snag it for sure.

And that Saint-14 helm...come to papa!

 

[Sullichin]

Question: I used my coins on the exotic Warlock helmet last week. Should I nix that and go with the sunbreakers instead? They seem better. Or I can save up my coins and eventually buy an exotic weapon...

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Whats a good way to get ascendant shards?

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Ahhh I just wasted all my motes of light on Xur and got a helmet for another class.

Sometimes this game can be so frustrating.

 

[Bunta]

ahhh, just realized my ONLY chest piece is lucky raspberry (exotic). cant even use my fancy new helmet till i get something to replace it. hope FWC has something decent and i have the marks to buy...

I just had to do this on my titan. I bought helm of saint and I only have an exotic chest, so I went to FWC and bought another chest from them.

 

[jaaz]

Does anyone know if the armor perk that speeds up the reload of special weapons also speeds up the ammo recharge of the ICE Breaker?

 

[Flo_Evans]

FRABjous i say.

hot damn! Each cloak is more stunning than the last!

 

[Unknown One]

I had an extra chest piece prepared and upgraded to a degree.

 

[donkey show]

Oh man, Ice Breaker is sooooo nice with the auto-reloading.

 

[Lostconfused]

Whats a good way to get ascendant shards?

I'd say daily heroic but all I got was energy for the past 3 days.

Otherwise buy legendaries with marks, turn them into shards. Or do public events and hope you get what you want.

 

[Night Angel]

Hooray, I can get rid of my Lucky Raspberry for dat sexy helmet (but now I need to upgrade a helmet and chest with shards).

 

[rdrr gnr]

So we cheesed nightfall by abusing join in prog. Wondering if it would work for raid, especially hard mode.

Basically, if you die and no one can Rez you safely you can quit to orbit and rejoin in progress alive.

You will spawn into the raid, whether it be normal or hard, dead -- until you hit a checkpoint. So, no.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Man. This sucks. Trying the Raid last night made it plainly obvious I need better weapons (I have yet to find anything above blue despite being level 27). None of my faction rep is going to hit Rank 3 anytime soon so I can't buy one. I have 17 strange coins which puts me within reach of Red Death but now Sunbreakers are on sale which would be infinitely more useful to me than my exotic helm (Apotheosis Veil) since I've maxed Sunsinger, but I dismantled the one purple helm I had prior to that because I wasn't aware that you can't wear more than one Exotic armor at a time. I don't have nearly enough Crucible marks to buy a new one from Dead Orbit despite having the Rank, and my Vanguard Rank isn't at 2 yet. I really wish this game had explained it's systems better earlier because now I'm in a holding pattern where my guns are underpowered for a lot of the content I'm supposedly levelled correctly for and I'm likely to stay at 27 for the foreseeable future. Short of a miracle from baby RNGesus (I still haven't seen ONE exotic bounty), I'm kind of stuck.

 

[Bizazedo]

And every Titan is going to be rocking the Saint helm. Sigh.

 

[EL CUCO]

Really? I personally think that's the most badass helm in the game. To each his/her own. Just look at this masterpiece!! (not my image)

That Titan helmet is nice, but this Hunter helmet is hideous

 

[Flo_Evans]

Does anyone know if the armor perk that speeds up the reload of special weapons also speeds up the ammo recharge of the ICE Breaker?

It doesn't. That would be pretty OP.

 

[Nameless]

Whats a good way to get ascendant shards?

Daily Heroic on level 28 gives you two shards or energy. If you don't want or need any Vanguard/Crucible armor buy a couple pieces and dismantle them.

The first public of the day usually rewards you with one ass shard or energy. Not much but I've had it put me over top a couple of the times.

 

[Doodis]

Warlocks: Apotheosis veil or sunbreakers? And why? Trying to decide if I should spend my coins. I'm a sunsinger, by the way.

 

[ShinAmano]

So can you get rewards for doing daily on normal and then on hard?

Also who wants to game? Raid/nightfall...other? XB1

 

[Ambitious]

For anyone who needs to complete the Pocket Infinity nightfall kills part if the bounty this week, do this:

1. Get an arc fusion rifle.
2. Run thought the first portion after activating the console until you get to the blue door with the first set of level 28 enemies.

This area has no darkness so you can respawn if you die.

Kill everything in that room with your FR. Kill the Phalanx with a precision primary (easier, plus the juggler modifier is active so you will need to kill with primary to score special ammo).

Orbit.
Repeat.

Took me about an hour.

That's what I've been doing all the time, but it still takes forever. 119/200 currently.

 

[Bunta]

Oh man, Ice Breaker is sooooo nice with the auto-reloading.

I wish Xur had Ice Breaker this week.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Lvl 26 warlock here. Anyone want to group up for some dailies and strike playlist?

 

[Afrocious]

Anyone up for helping me finish the heroic raid at around 6pm Eastern Time? I'm up to the Gatekeeper part ( I know :/..).

I'm a level 29 Sunsinger and my PSN is Afrodeeziyak. I'd like to finish it today and would like it if the people from the original group all joined in if possible. I think the group was:

Namakazie
figs
Daraman
Twilight_gap/zoba
todd

Also, can folks lay down some strategies for this Gatekeeper part? It's a breeze on normal, but for a group of 29s consisting of a balanced amount of classes, it's pretty difficult so far. I know about partially killing a gatekeeper until its very weak, going to the other portal to get that relic from inside, then returning to kill the surviving gatekeeper. This strat seemed to almost work, but the biggest issue is the defense team surviving while the portal team picks apart the gatekeeper and adds. I'm trying to figure out where to tweak this. I don't know if the portal team should kill quicker or the defense team should kill protheans faster. Also, it doesn't help enemies are infinite in both the portals and on the outside until both relics are out.

Ah, how many shards does Crucible Armor give out? I might do that.

 

[op_ivy]

well, all hunter helmets are hideous (aside from the splinter cell one, i like that).

but yeah, that is particularly bad looking. oh well. 4 shot goldengun!

 

[Zakalwe]

Well, part of the fun in a loot game is getting rare stuff. There is no point of having rarity deviations if everyone has the same gear. It should be exciting to get an exotic. I don't want to say "oh Xur sold this last week." Also, I'd rather suffer and not get something, but when I do get it know that it's rare. Personally, that's where the fun comes in. If Bungie is smart, Xur's stock will be chosen selection of exotics and not all of them.

Being able to only equip two exotic items means that even if they were all sold by Xur you'd still see a good variety in game being used.

And bear in mind the number of people who are able to buy the weapon every week will be small. We're the minority in places like this.

Even the Suros will still be rare when you consider the overall player base.

 

[Nodnol]

Raid Vets, question;

Is it beneficial to have the Relic user be a Sunsinger?

Stupidly, me and three friends are going to attempt the Raid, and just see what we can do.

Yes, I know we will struggle, I know we won't crush it, but, in an attempt to be as efficient as possible, if a Sungsinger self-revives, will we still have the Relic?

 

[Bizazedo]

I actually just kept going until I died. Ended up soloing the Nightfall twice getting Pocket Infinity haha.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Warlocks: Apotheosis veil or sunbreakers? And why? Trying to decide if I should spend my coins. I'm a sunsinger, by the way.

Sunbreakers. AV's main special is restoring your health when activating your super which is pretty useless to a Sunsinger 90% of the time. Sunbreakers makes your solar grenades better, faster reload for ANY special weapon, and lowers your grenade cooldown for causing melee damage.

 

[hydruxo]

I think Knucklehead radar looks great

 

[Turdburger]

Apotheosis Veil is awful, and Sunbreakers are either the best or second best Warlock exotic.

Pretty simple decision.

Relic is dropped when you die.

This. Heart of Praxic Fire and Sunbreakers are a must have for Warlocks.

it does. and apparently the "splinter cell" helmet is mask of the third man. i do like those. what benefits do those helmets give?

Yea, even in PVP, I've only see the Regime a handful of times. We are in the elite group of Destiny players. Hell, I think anyone who reaches lvl 27+ after 3 weeks is in the higher tier group of players.

 

[Tawpgun]

Thought of a good way to make hunters more useful for high level PvE while maintaining PvP balance.

Best way is add a perk that is the classes last unlock last (to balance being op in lower levels) and have it significantly up damage for golden gun and blade dancer. This way you can be the damage dealing class.

Right now blade dancer is too weak for more powerful enemies, and golden gun does no more damage than a sniper crit which is super dumb.

 

[ColonelSkills]

Ah, how many shards does Crucible Armor give out? I might do that.

0 to 3.

Doesn't seem to matter if it's upgraded or not. You can get a fat load of fuck all if the game wants to be cheeky.

It's helpful since if you self-rez, you can hold square immediately and grab the relic.

I'd like to see Titan Smash get a damage buff as well because it's also shit against bosses/higher tier enemies.

This is the correct Warlock exotic

I'll be on then to finish it. (Daraman)

 

[anddo0]

Why? Let people play the game the way they want. If they want to shoot into a cave, so be it.

Indeed, why ruin people's enjoyment? Who the fuck cares if they wanna shoot a cave. Childish.

Wow so defensive over your precious loot cave.

I didn't ruin anyone's enjoyment of the game. I can sit where I want.
I happened to be on a patrol mission to kill Hive. He was preventing the Hive from spawning. So I decided to troll him back, and prevent the Fallen from spawning.

It was harmless fun, you guys take this stuff way too seriously.

Yep, I am finding everything in the hunter class way under powered for higher level. Melee doesn't do much, but I still love my throwing knifes. Bladedancer now = Betsy the Invisible Medic. And Golden Gun barely scratches shit some times

 

[th4tguy]

It's great for PvE as well. Getting swarmed by mobs? Then pop the bubble and the minute they walk inside they're all blind and you can easily take them all out.

Still need to level it before I'll start using it. Equiping it now, puts me from 28 to 27 which is a large dmg/ surviability decrease.

 

[Klyka]

I think people here on GAF forget abou that a lot of the time.

Have you guys seen the % of levels for players in the game? We are in a very very small minority that is waaaaay in front of the big majority of players.

 

[ColonelSkills]

it does. and apparently the "splinter cell" helmet is mask of the third man. i do like those. what benefits do those helmets give?

Knucklehead is always on radar if ADSing with primary.

Mask of the Third Man is what I rock, and it decreases super drain on combos during arc blade. It's good for PVP. Not so much for PVE.

 

[hydruxo]

Knucklehead keeps your radar up while aiming your primary

Can't remember what Third Man does though

 

[X-Frame]

Anyone have a fully upgraded "The Devil You Know"? How is it? I'm wanting to give Handcannons a spin and I haven't found a single one - even rare that is level 20. If it's worth the 150 marks I'll snag it for sure.

And that Saint-14 helm...come to papa!

Have you compared it to the Crucible Quartermaster's "Lord High Fixer"?

I can't decide between the two, so I ended up not buying either, haha. They both seem amazing.
