Destiny |OT6| Lock me like one of your French girls, Jack

Bungie has never made a game with good netcode. It's always been a flaw for them.

They are always using p2p. I was hoping Destiny would be dedicated servers, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Then again I've never seen a migration host screen....so maybe it's just bad net code.
 
Still no Legendary weapon at level 27.

Got great armor (which I bought!), but fuck, I get no good drops. And I am not attempting Nightfall or the Raid until I have a fully upgraded Legendary Primary.
 
Level 28 lock here. I haven't touched the raid yet. It seems like every time we have tried to get our group together something comes up for someone. It does look like a lot of fun and the idea of raiding in a FPS sounds interesting. I raided in WoW for years (vanilla through part of Cata) so this part of Destiny has my attention. Are any of the groups here kind to raid newbies?
 
could any Raid vets help me quickly beat the last boss on Normal? i keep getting into groups with Raid noobs and it's tiring.
 
Finally got 2 more ascendent shards after three weeks of only getting energy. Still need 6 more shards to level up one of my 6 different defense upgrades.
 
Iron Banner is gonna be such a cluster fuck. I expect to alternate from feeling bad for other players to feeling bad for myself.
 
Anyone interested in helping me through a Queen's wrath mission? I probably need a carry.

You can definitely do nightfall with a Lvl 20 Blue weapon as long as it matches the elemental damage modifier for the week. I went through my first with a blue fusion rifle and sniper rifle without a lot of problems. Just bring ammo synths.
 
Yeah, I haven't seen Weapons of Light used effectively yet. I've heard it's good, though!
It's something like a 30% damage buff for the entire party. it's incredible.
It really is. I always thought bladedancers are super useless in the raid. Then he told me let's do it like this. I had a happy face when I saw how good it worked.
I'm pretty hyped to try this tomorrow. Our party checkpoint is saved at the gatekeepers.
Looks like I need to work on my invisibility skills. I tried it a few times and it felt like the baddies could still see me. I'd shoot, and pop right out of invisibility. After that, I kind of gave up on in and switched to something else in the tree.
They CAN see you... but they'll never attack. You can even "tank" mobs by holding their attention on you in stealth while your teammates do whatever. It's amazing.

It's only of the silliest and most videogamey implementations of a cloaking skill I've ever seen, but it is sooooo much fun.
 
In other news, I final got round to getting Thorn after a friend also picked up the bounty and we nailed Xyor first time with no wipes.

I don't care if it's underwhelming, I shall wield it and push back the Darkness.

Horrid, just god-awful, plan. Nightfalls have incredible rewards, buff your XP and rep gains for the week, and if you pay attention to the week's Burn modifier you can be effective even with basic rare weapons. Save up your marks and buy your first legendary primary making it exactly the one you want, and run Nightfalls instead. You might GET a legendary primary or exotic from it.

The raid is also way more about communication and execution than raw DPS output, though legendary/exotic loadouts do count for more here than in the nightfall.

invite me if you need a spot. i'm a pro portal defender now. i'm also good at killing the Supplicants while people are shooting the boss during Time Vengeance. played it so much with a couple of groups. too bad people keep dying on me. there's always get one weak link and that guy always ruins it. sick of it.

If you're on PS4 I'm willing to help

PSN: Sebulon3k

the problem with my request is that i don't have anyone to help me group up atm. thanks for the response.
 
Level 25 Titan. I'm lacking in legendary equipment and I've never even seen anything exotic. If you're doing anything that might get me those, I'd love to help! PS4 CartmanPat

This too. Since when we come out of the portals we always like to jump in that middle platform and shoot at Atheon while the relic guy shields us it's an amazing thing. Before we come out a defender titan pops his bubble like right outside the portal. We run through to get the damage buff and hop into the middle. Atheon goes down in like 4 portals on hard. Man I can't wait to do this shit again on Tuesday. I wanna see how fast we can complete hard mode.

It will be a rude awakening for lower level people who have no idea what's going on and don't understand why their level 16 shingen-c isn't scratching their level 29 opponent.
 
Around what level should I try the weekly nightfall? I need to do it with a fusion rifle for that fusion rifle exotic bounty! I finally started getting some luck with lengendaries and even getting the exact exotic helm I wanted using motes of light, so I am feeling more confident, but I am still only light level 26 (in the process of leveling up my legendaries).

I can probably hit level 27 relatively quickly, but I don't know if that's going to be high enough - should I make my way up to 28 before even trying? Because that will be hard without legendary mats :(
 
Holy shit the PvP has become a rotten asshole of broken guns and impossible to win control matches.

If you're not using that fusion rifle primary might as well tape the analog stick down and go do something else for 10 minutes

Even thinking about trying to shoot someone with a scout rifle and you're dead by the second shot. What a joke.

Ars and shotguns can kill before a fusion rifle can go off. Scout rifles need a buff or ars/shotgun/fusion nerf. Your problem is not using one of the 3 (or high end hand cannon) guns listed above. Anything else isnt viable.
 
So just got my first exotic bounty for th depleted hand cannon but had no idea I had to get 500 void damage kills in crucible for it.
This is going to take a long time. Anyone have any tips?

I only had a shotgun for a void special weapon and I found rumble to be the less effective farm thanks to my limited range. I wound up getting most of my points playing control because it tended to funnel players to the control points leaving me with more strategies to get in close on em.
 
Has this been posted yet?

As always, spot-on and hilarious.

"WOOOOOHHEEEE .. i have no idea why i'm still playing this!"

Pretty great!

Crucible + Pocket Infinity = hilarity

I'm considering teaching my daughter the basics of FPS games with destiny. How to move around and aim and shoot and stuff. Then i'll turn on the crucible before i leave for work and come home to engrams like a scratch it lottery festival.

Solid plan for leveling, imo.

He is talking about the Vex Mythoclast. If one or two guys on one team have it the other team might as well leave the game. They are gonna get the dick. We played a 3v3 Skirmish yesterday with all three of us in one team having it. Score was 5110-0.

Nah.. a good pair of headphones and some situational awareness and a Fusion Rifle can clean up. You NEED to get a handle on the hip fire aim tho cause 2 shots with a fusion rifle can feel like 2 lifetimes in a firefight against other players.

Or you know ... Pocket the bitches and pull Ws out of thin air.

Wow. I havent seen one in game yet. Are the bullets red like they are when the vex shoot them?
 
So I just got my first exotic bounty, for the invective one of the parts is to do a weekly challenge mission, do they mean weekly heroic or nightfall?
 
Anyone want to get a 6 man together for the Raid tonight around maybe 12:00 tonight PST?

edit: Normal of course. I've yet to do it but have watched the entire thing done both by first timers learning and experienced groups that took less than an hour. I know the phases and am completely open to be told where to go and what to do.
