What do we get at rank 4? That assault rifle from the promo I hope

Those gloves were kind of useless(to me) since I got a drop for gloves as soon as I started the dlc

You get the assault rifle from a random drop off of the blades of crota. At level 4 we get the ability to switch energies to shards.

The double bounty trick is the bane of east coasters with jobs/school during the day.
Thank god I got my Titan to rank 4 during the holiday break. I hated waking up at 3 AM EST to make sure I'm done with the previous day's bounties and wait till reset to do the bounty trick.

Should I bother leveling up Plan C for PVP? I am always so lazy with exotic leveling for weapons I am ambivalent about. Also, I would like for Xur to sell the Thunderlord - didn't feel like upgrading mine.

I did it once (never again) and it got me enough to get level 32 before the new years like I wanted. Now I am going to horde energies.

Where is the best place to farm Black Wax?

Indeed. First time I did it was this past weekend. It's impossible for me to do this regularly.
I did it for nine days straight and it fucked up my sleeping schedule. Now I'm waking up at 3 inthe morning without an alarm clock. I just go back to sleep.

I really don't see anything great with that gun in PVP. I maxed it for PVE tho.
Math went on a 15 Kill streak. She would've gone further than that if I told her to duck a second faster or killed the guy aiming at her across before he killed her.
 
Hey all,

Just got a Destiny PS4 bundle, tried the game out for a few hours the other night and I love the setting. Only played through the first 2 missions but I am enjoying it. I mainly play games on PC so I was a little worried about using a controller again but man I am pleasantly surprised by how well I was doing.

My favorite part of the game? Staring at my ship while listening to the music in the mission select area. Call me silly but I love some good space ship porn :p

Just got home from a week long vacation and the Destiny withdrawal is real. Anyone want to do the Nightfall/Weekly Heroic? I have to do them 3x.

I'm a bit in love with my LDR on my Hunter. First time I used it in CE and those Knights die in two headshots. I ended up being the sniper for the run last night.

Not gonna lie, I missed playing with my regular raid group. None of you were on last night. :(

Oh that's awesome, what's the conversion rate?

1 energy = 1 shard + 500 glimmer and 1 Black Wax Idol per conversion.

Why so much hype for the LDR? Am I missing something?

I went to bed early. Like I said, the bounty trick messed up my sleeping schedule. Found myself getting tired real early because of lack of sleep.

Anyway, yeah, I switched to an LDR about two days after I got my Black Hammer last week. I have two on me, one a Solar and the other an Arc type. Both have Field Scout and Unflinching. My Arc has Final Shot while my Solar has Clown Cartridge.

Well, thanks for NF help with my Warlock. Got a purple Engram in that run and it was new chest piece!

Not sure what the love affair with the LDR is either. This one is sooo much better and it holds five per clip.

Gonna delete my Titan alt and create a Warlock. my main Titan is 32, my Hunter can be 32 but just needs shards, and my Warlock still has all the gear for 31 in the bank.

Nice. I'm hoping for Starfire Protocol for when I run Nightfall on my Warlock tomorrow.

Field Scout on both my Solar and Arc LDR ups the clip from 4 to 6. Clown Cartridge has a chance of upping my Solar LDR clip from 6 to 8 and chances of that happening are high.

It's just a good 331 sniper. I have a solar one with Outlaw and Field Scout, it's a great non-Exotic.

BTW - does anyone know what the benefit of Skip Rounds are? Is it just the extra amount of reserve ammo?

In your case yes, does the vendor one come with those perks? Also I'm still messing around with my y-09 but should I use armor piercing over perfect balance?

Indeed^^ I love the soundtrack in this game and combined with Bungie's top tier sky boxes makes for a lovely opening every time you boot it up^^
 
Bungie should see if they can get the rights to use claptraps voice saying "wub wub wub" for each shot from an exotic gun. Kinda like the finger glove gun from dead space, but better. Or put in both guns! Imagine how fun that would be <.<!
 
I really need that Crucible scout rifle with firefly, satieriene whatever it's called.

I am only rank 1 Crucible tho :/

Does getting to rank 2 give me a crucible commendation?

Need the marks too

That's what I use, and I love the impact on it.

I like the way it handles and I love the super fast loading after it uses up ammo.

That doesn't seem anything worthy of hype. Define handle, though.

armor piercing rounds go through walls.

Isn't that very situational?

Appropriate avatar change

I never doubted you, RNGesus.
except for when I went 3 months without Raid boots

What will you do when it's nerfed :p?

Mine doesn't have any of those perks and it was a drop. But I do have it with Spray and Pray and Perfect Balance and it's pretty great. I wouldn't mind one with your perks.
