Little update guys, if you are doing a bounty which has you killing a target soon as the bounty emblem pops up to show complete quit back to orbit. If you get the same bounty again just resume and you can complete it from the checkpoint before the target.

Apparently this game really doesn't want to give me the Queens Wrath Sniper Rifle or Ship, I have done what has to be a ridiculous amount of bounties across all my characters and a ridiculous amount of the missions, but nope, still just head and chest pieces which I have a ton of for each class. I also don't think I will ever see a purple engram again since the patch, even in the crucible I have had awful luck.

You ain't the only one. Probably completed 30 of them and all I get is chests, only had a few helmets but no weapon or ship. :/

In typical fashion I moan about it on here and immediately get the sniper rifle, why does the universe work this way? I wonder if I complain about the ship enough I will get it too. At least something to take away from all these queens missions is that I have the earth one down to about 4 minutes to run through.

No matchmaking for raids was the right decision. It is really annoying when people leave halfway through a strike.

How would matchmaking for raids change your personal experience? You could still create groups as you currently do. All having no matchmaking does is remove an avenue of play as an option for people. By your logic we should remove matchmaking from everything, raids, strikes, pvp, because people might leave.
 
So I am at the last boss on the weekly heroic strike. Our group wiped a few times so 2 other guys left.

My question is can I invite people into my fireteam while in the strike and have them join me at the final boss?

It could reduce the pool of players actively looking for pre-made groups.

It could cause backlash from the majority of players because the content is significantly harder (reads: requires teamwork) than the rest of the game.

It could sour people's experience of Raid content and cause them to give up on it (regualr MM issues such as griefers, quitters, players unwilling to work together, people not using mics or paying attention to mics even if they enabled it for MM, etc...).

It could definitely have a negative impact on the game in general. To say it couldn't is false.

Please note I used the word "could".

There are good arguments for and against.

As long as your Fireteam status isn't set to private, you can invite at any point.

Exploitable as hell.

Always the way lol. The morning before the patch arrived for The Cryptarch I picked up 4 Legendary sniper engrams in 60-90 minutes and they all became Rare but since then I've not picked up one purple weapon engram. I really want a sniper. :(

I run into everything you just said in strikes and pvp. I've had both other players bail in Skirmish matches so it ends up being 1v3 with no realistic chance of me winning. Should we remove matchmaking from those as well because you could have a bad experience?

One should always err on the side of options rather than restrictions. You're already diminishing the pool of potential Raiders because you have people like me, who have no interest in using outside, third party websites and tools to organize what should be available in game.

And if they feel the content is "too hard" for matchmaking groups there are plenty of options that other games have found to solve that issue. Use the WoW method of having tiers of raids with matchmaking versions being the easiest, then premades, then hard modes, with gear rewards consistent with the challenge.
 
As long as we're talking about what needs to be patched, can we get rid of Voidwalker's hop/float when the stupid magic missile is fired? The game has a very high jump, I can get above the field of play to launch the thing whenever I want. And to answer your question, yes, I've fired the thing at the ceiling a number of times and yes, I felt like a knob.
 
Edit: Fireteam full

This has happened to me multiple times. It's even worse when I'm playing Control, there's 5 players and the bomb hits the wall.
 
Im actually beginning to have a problem with space.

I've been incredibly lucky with legendary and Exotic drops, and almost all of them are decent sidegrade options that I don't want to shard.

I never thought I'd have the problem of acquiring too many legendaries/exotics. I actively play on all three characters and I don't like using them as mules.

Come on Bungie/Activision. I know you want to charge me for vault space. Jsut get it over with please...

I have the Exodus Plan RS/1, gained from Nightfall but description says its being made by Dead Orbit, so perhaps they sell it?

Its Void, which makes it a great asset for VoG. 2 rockets, with a chance to get a third, lightning quick reload and homing. I love it.

Anyone been having problems with public events? I cant get them to activate. I usually do the ones on Earth at The Divide and Skywatch but they haven't been appearing all morning.
 
Anyone have a handy guide to the differences between crucible factions(as it relates to gear/weapons obviously)?
 
Ugh upgrading gear across three characters has left me broke. Guess I should get around to using those glimmer consumables, but I always forget to when the time is right.
 
Does Xur always sell an exotic helmet engram or does that change every week? I have the motes but dont really need a helmet
 
I wish the bounties told where some of these guys are. For example one bounty says to kill 10 Hive Majors or Ultras. So then I have to go looking on my map for something that talks about the Hive and then hope the mission I pick has some Ultras/Majors, whatever the fuck those are.

Instead it could just say something like go to The World's Grave on the Moon...

edit: which is also apparently not the right place. Still looking...

I guess you mean the other factions that take Crucible Marks to buy gear?

Outside of the aesthetics, they each specialize in 2 of the 3 gear attributes.

Gear has Light plus
New Monarchy: Intellect, Strength
Future War Cult: Intellect, Discipline
Dead Orbit: Strength, Discipline

If you want to specialize in 2, have your pick. Otherwise, use the Crucible vendor and get a spread of all 3.

Did the weekly heroic at lvl 28 with two gaffers last night (big thanks to Eyeron80 and ryuken-d, and sorry for dying so much). What an incredibly long and frustrating final boss though. Really annoying.

What was more annoying was that our third member didn't get the strange coins at the end of the strike as a reward. Was it because he joined later on? Is this something that's normal? I joined just before the tank dude and still got the coins.

Launch patrol Earth, look to your left, see a building next to a broken down vehicle, enter it, go down and keep to right

go into room, 3 ultras appear, kill...go outside count to 10, repeat... bounty takes 4 mins at most :)
 
Just hit 25 and got my first exotic. Would love to give the raid a go and hopefully feet some more gear. It's anybody doing it at the moment looking for another member? Add me on PS4 please?

There's more to it than just having a bad experience as I wrote. And griefers/badies in pvp and strike missions are much easier to deal with as they're brief activities you can jump into on a whim and be done with very quickly. Most strikes are fine to complete with two men, some even with one.

These issues would be much more difficult to manage in the Raid.

Click to expand...

Of course, but I think that's a good thing for various reasons (with the current design of the game at least).

It's great to jump into a strike of pvp on a whim, it's not great to jump into a Raid that requires multiple hours of commitment and practised co-ordination on the same kind of instant click whim. The time it takes to arrange a group is minimal, but that extra effort itself will prevent many players who lack commitment from even bothering.

Also, I understand your frustration of wanting options in game, but why not just ask in this thread or quickly jump to Destinylfg.net and post a quick add looking for a group? It really does only take a few minutes and you'll be able to try the content you're missing out on while they work on other solutions on their end.

Oh, and randoms from forums are not the same as randoms from MM. The vast majority of MM randoms will be players who have no knowledge of places like neogaf and Destinylfg.net, and probably many of them won't understand advanced tactics or how to work in a co-ordinated way (like any game). As you've said, you experience these things in pvp and strikes often enough. Players using lfg.net on a whim will not be the same quality (in general of course) as the majority of players using MM on a whim

These things take time and were not in other games from launch either. Bungie have stated they're looking at options, we'll all have to be patient.

In the meantime you do have options, and they're absolutely not difficult (if you're here posting on a forum anyway it will take you literally seconds to do).

-

I am not saying they couldn't add matchmaking, they could if they did it intelligently. What I am saying is it's not as black and white as "mm is bad for the raid" or "mm is good for the raid". There are good arguments on both sides. If there weren't they would have had it in from the start.

MM should absolutely be in for Heroic daily/weekly and probably NF too.

The 10 Hive Majors and Ultras is super quick. Start Patrol on Earth and immediately go left to where you see 3 Fallen, next to the left of them is a hut which has stairs. (To the left of the hut is a green beacon)

Follow this down around to the right and 3 Hive enemies will spawn. Will all 3 then exit and get on the sparrow and head back to where you start the patrol then head back to the hut and down the stairs again. You need to do this 4 times but it takes a couple of minutes.

Those 3 are back as soon as you reach the stairs. You can turn around they'll be there.

Right but if I don't know who the hell the Hive are I first have to figure that out then I have to search for some Ultras or Majors.

Basically I'm saying it should be like I said and be more specific since the names of all these "The" enemies are hard to remember.

You can do this on patrol - go straight up the hill, under the catwalk and straight on again up the next bank to the shattered golf ball/dome type structure with Fallen outside. Go through the dome and on the other side is a slope down to a Hive entrance with 2 Hallowed Knights outside. They should respawn every couple of minutes. FYI I think anything with a yellow health bar is a Major/Ultra enemy.

Edit: well beaten, with a better answer!
 
My first Exotic (Sunbreakers^^ Sorry to my fellow Warlocks who wanted something different from Xur, but I needed them^^) and my first Exotic bounty (Bad Ju Ju). I am now 26, but am still rocking only rare weapons. Is the Vault of Glass doable on rare weapons, or should I wait a week or two until I fill out my load-out with Legendary gear from the Vanguard?

Bungie wants you to pre-order DLC packs that will come with content (the raids) that there is currently no concrete, in game method, of organizing outside of blindly inviting people and hoping they accept, so you can explain that you'd like to run a raid. That strikes me as a problem.

Could have him pop on this - http://destinylfg.net/

I used it the other day for the weekly and got 6 messages within 5 minutes from people willing to jump in. Probably even quicker being on PS4.

Have him mention in the message he is at the end with the boss. People will be more interested to help since they don't have to do much.

It's only a game breaking problem if you're so bitter about the lack of in game social features that you refuse to use the internet.

You're online right now, would take you seconds to minutes to find a willing group.

Should they have more social functionality? Definitely.
Is it difficult to find a group? Not at all.

I've been trying to find a group for the raid and it's taking a lot longer than a few minutes.
