Why are most Exotic weapons useless?!

I have the Last Word and compared to the Devil You Know in PVE, it is a joke.

DYK has higher impact, double the range, and a lager magazine!!!!

Shouldn't TLW with a higher fire rate and lower impact have a larger magazine at the very least?!?!?!?!?!??!

All of this translates to a gun, that in terms of raw PVE damage output needs a major buff.
maybe you're doing it wrong

TLW's fire rate is absurd

imo - between the hawkmoon and TLW, not a single legendary handcannon is worth talking about

I use TLW for all content, from nightfalls to raids, no complaints at all. Shoots so much faster and that hip fire bonus is awesome. It's regarded as one of the best exotics.
 
That's now how the reward screen goes. Out of the engram, you get a possible blue or legendary, but you're supposed to get an engram.

Oh, I've received nothing outside of the marks or whatever else you get. Nothing that would fit the description of the Cryptarch Engram. Maybe this is like a bug or something?

They need a hardcore PvP mode:

- No supers
- No heavy, no special
- No radars (or less radar sweeps and only the outer ring).

All gun/map skill play.
 
Thinking about trying the Raid on XboxOne. Any chance there's 5 people willing to give it a go at Midnight ET tonight? Level 27 Warlock.

After you said that, I checked the patch notes, and it says engrams were added as potential rewards, but that's not how they play it out in game. For everything else, what's listed is what you get.
 
Quick question. Whenever I select the daily heroic (and up it to 24), it says one of the rewards is a Cryptarch engram plus ascendant energy, but I never get an engram.

Anybody else having this problem?

That symbol popped up on a patrol mission inside the % complete diamond and I really had my hopes up that I'd get an engram for completing the patrol...No such luck.
 
Last night my brother got a legendary primary engram. I was so jealous (still no legendary anything for me at level 21) but then all he got was ascendant materials. In the end, I got to laugh at him for 20 minutes.

I'd play this all day...although I think special weapons should stay in, maybe just fewer ammo pickups. They are nerfing shotguns, ya know. Biggest thing for me would be no Supers. One fucking Super can cause a team that's considerably behind to win.

So it really is only a chance thing? That's a huge bummer, but does explain why I haven't received one yet.

I got an engram at the end of the heroic mission along with Ass Energy during the countdown timer. It never showed up on the reward screen and I know I didn't pick it up from an enemy.

No, I don't think it's a chance thing, because that's not how it plays out in the game outside the Daily Heroic. If that logic held, you wouldn't just be getting ascendant energy over and over again.

I think it's a glitch.
 
Damn, I saved a lot of coins for Xur this week, and he has nothing for a Warlock like me. At least I finished the Juju bunty.

It is how I play and kick asses of the super guys.

PS. I just use the super for revive.
 
I'm up for anything, level 27 warlock, just all i ask is tell me what you want help with in a message and i'll help out. PSN SensuiTomo
I might not be all that good but i'm willing to help.
 
There should be a mode where you have no weapons or supers at all, and you have to scramble for weapons similar to Halo.

Also, I think TLW will be the first exotic I get to max. It's almost done. It's already a monster and I only have to do the final four attack upgrades.
 
Thanks to valy and moonflux, i've finally finished this pain in the ass Thorn mission. Has literally been a thorn in my side since the game wouldn't let me abandon the bounty. So that brings my total exotic weapon count to 8:

Thorn
Monte Carlo
Bad Juju
Red Death
SUROS Regime
Pocket Infinity
Invective
Super Good Advice

I only use SUROS though. I'd use Red Death if it was faster.
 
Anyone up for a raid on Xbox One? we are 4 people soon so two are needed. Preferably Swedish since the rest of the group are but english is no problem if thats the case. My gamertag is FAILGUBBE so snd a msg if interested

Now that you mention it, I do remember decrypting a boots engram, but not picking it up.

Maybe it's just not showing up in the rewards screen?

Oh, I misunderstood you. If it really is some kind of bug hopefully Bungie can get around to fixing it.

Last night I did get a blue engram drop from a kill, I wonder if that's why I didn't receive another at the reward screen. Maybe the game recognized I had already received one, or something.
 
Has anyone mentioned how good the enemy designs are?

They are quite varied to each other

They are, even though Cabal are just Space Marines with some elements of Ork. That being said, though, it does remind me....

Why are there no Kill X Vex or Kill X Cabal bounties?

Nah, Legendaries will always be worth talking about because when you're equipping an Exotic special or heavy weapon you can't have TLW or Hawkmoon equipped too. The Devil You Know, Lord High Fixer and Red Hand IX are all great guns.

That's all not to mention Fatebringer which is arguably one of the most useful guns in the entire game.
 
Now that I'm 22, whats the most efficient way to get gear? The daily heroic missions? Strikes?

Efficient ways depend on what you want to do, pve or pvp. Fastest is PvP though.

Your goal is to get to 26. You want to do your Strikes and heroic daily missions. Keep doing these since you'll be able to get more rewards once you are able to do the Tiger missions.

I'd say if you hit around 25, you can get someone to partner up and do the weekly nightfall if you get leveled up enough by Tuesday. This week's is easy if you have arc weapons. You have a high chance at getting purple/exotic gear doing this.

Main thing though: get a rep level to 3 so you can have a vendor you can keep buying legendary stuff from when you need it.
 
Limiting to only one exotic is dumb and takes all the thrill out of getting an exotic.

"Oh wow, another exotic...

...that I will never use because already using one."

I'll be willing to help on the raid level 28 Hunter. I think we played together last weekend Navy. I got some cooler guns since then as well.

Forgive me if I mistook you as someone else, it's been a long week.

Maybe because Hive/Fallen have already invaded Earth and pose a much more immediate threat? Other than that I don't know.
 
So I played enough crucible to get to Rank 2 with the crucible handler ... around 140 matches.

I am extremely not good at crucible, it turns out. My k/d is currently 0.87 overall thanks to some terrible matches early on.

Anyway, yesterday, I was starting to think I turned the corner. I had gotten up to 1.0 k/d in control, and felt like I had figured things out when suddenly my opponents got much, much better. Every encounter I would die almost instantly, as in, see a guy on the radar, then *pow*, guardian down. That continued for the rest of the evening.

Is it matchmaking starting to work? Or did I just randomly run into much better players?

This is a misunderstanding of their role, you should be swapping exotics frequently and almost by necessity due to elemental Burns each week

What time do you play? I've noticed players get much better later at night after around midnight. All the sucky children are asleep, all the hardcore Destiny folk are out for blood.

To be honest, the exotics aren't powerful enough to even require such a restriction IMO. And they definitely aren't rare enough either.

It would be sick to have as many exotics equipped as we want - I think then we'd truly feel powerful and we'd begin to see insane levels of varied playstyles.
