About to open my gift in 5 minutes. I'm excited at the possibilities. Had to go home for lunch to unwrap this

 

[k1t4j]

By the way my Legendary gift was the "Up for Anything" AR.

With:

Radar always on
Increased stability

Does not even come close to my Vanquisher VIII, raw stats and perks wise

pitty

 

[MildSoss]

Gift package gave me a Badger CCL with firefly and rodeo, this thing worth keeping? lol

 

[LiK]

Oh baby, only 1864 rep until Eris rank 4.

46 for me. One more bounty after work to push me over.

 

[figadapaura]

two types of destiny players: people that play hunter and people that play the other classes because they can't handle the raw badassness of a hunter.

this guy gets it

 

[hydruxo]

That chest is overrated. I only got 1 exotic from there...never understood hype.

I got 3 exotics from all 3 of my chars from Gorgons chest last week (Suros, Truth, and TLW), so I respectfully disagree with you

 

[SlenderBeans]

46 for me. One more bounty after work to push me over.

I keep trying to stay up to do double bounties, but I either forget, or I'm exhausted by the time reset rolls around.

 

[k1t4j]

Does not hurt to try though

 

[The Lamonster]

So yeah, it happens every time. On patrol, in Crucible, etc. I have to click at least 6 times before I can sprint. When I'm lucky, sometimes my Guardian sprints for a second or so and then reverts to walking. This happens even when I'm trying to sprint after minutes of walking. It's pissing me off a lot.

Same here. It's a stupid mechanism...or if it's an unintentional bug it needs to be fixed.

 

[cilonen]

And the Pulse Rifle disappointment continues, it's so hilarious it's sad at this point. I know the pain, brother.

Fucking pulse rifles...

I'm convinced Bungie's nerfs to AR's have only been to try and make Pulse Rifles look less sucky.

 

[jaaz]

Solar nades are awesome for doing the first section legit, fusion nades still wreck majors, used for various cheese, and self rez. Warlocks still master race over all! I will say they are the one class that's a royal pain to try and get the second CE chest solo though, not even worth the effort.

This: self-rez, cheesing, crowd control with solar 'nades, and major/ultra shield wrecking with fusion grenades (particularly if ignite and Viking funeral are on). Also one of the longer range melees out there. And I'm just mentioning the sunbro subclass.

Skillfully played, locks are awesome in raids.

 

[Coconut]

Look at the Hunters puffing out their chest after being worthless in VoG ;p


If you want to be lazy, Titan is probably the best way to go as you can use bubbles for protection with WoL to kill stuff faster or titan smash all the things (have to have super up). I say this as a Warlock lover so no bias here. Actually, Warlocks can self-rez so that's pretty good for laziness too ;P

Oh I'm sorry is my double jumping and not dying constantly on the platforms interrupting you? Nothing a warlock can do in the VoG that a cheap void heavy machine gun can't do.

 

[figadapaura]

Hunters were never worthless in VoG. They just required more skill.

Thank you.

 

[E92 M3]

I got 3 exotics from all 3 of my alts from Gorgons chest last week (Suros, Truth, and TLW), so I respectfully disagree with you

Well you and Nami can go dance hand-in-hand!

 

[The Lamonster]

My gift package was LDR without ammo piercing = 2 energies.

 

[Dave_6]

Got the Plug One as my gift. I'm happy cause I didn't have it and it has great perks (Accelerated coils and rangefinder). Among one for having a bigger clip.

So the two best vendor weapons (means one can walk up, buy it as is with enough marks) right now are the LDR and the Rapier, correct? Other than those two, others need to be gotten as drops from Strikes and whatnot (such as the Chance, Badger, TDYD) to have good perks?

 

[jaaz]

Is there any difference in exotic drop rates between opening the Gorgon chest in normal vs. hard mode VoG?

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Anyone up for some rumble?

 

[jadedm17]

this guy gets it

I always feel so limited as my Hunter, I prefer my Warlock : PVE you can't beat self-revive, I don't feel Gunslinger works with crits because it does nothing on foes like Atheon or Phogoth, and I feel limited by movement.
Oh, and I play too much pvp so I can notice a gunslinger or blade dancer going off, pretty predictable once you know what to look for.

 

[plantedunicorn]

From the Christmas package, I got a Devil You Don't with Outlaw, Explosive Rounds and Grenadier. Would trade any of those perks for Field Scout. 5 in the magazine is kinda not useful.

Free energy I guess.

 

[Namikaze1]

Hunters were never worthless in VoG. They just required more skill.

Thank you.

Didn't you and Twilight died upon landing in the Cave of Thralls a few times? Seems like Hunters can't handle landing.

Well you and Nami can go dance hand-in-hand!

hydroxo is a fellow Sith Lord. Show him the respect us Sith Lords deserve!

 

[Bogeypop]

I'm convinced Bungie's nerfs to AR's have only been to try and make Pulse Rifles look less sucky.

We all laugh now, but wait until House of Wolves introduces an Exotic Pulse Rifle that's so good it makes the Ghorn look like a Super Soaker.

 

[LiK]

Hunters were never worthless in VoG. They just required more skill.

Thank you.

I'm a Titan/Hunter lover.

 

[figadapaura]

Yeah, I died a couple times. When I was on my Titan.

I'm a Titan/Hunter lover.

<3

 

[Namikaze1]

I'm a Titan/Hunter lover.

Same here. I just love Titans more.

Warlocks can go and self-rez in the corner where they belong!

 

[The Lamonster]

What's better for a hand cannon: perfect balance or explosive rounds?

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Received a Void MG18A(?) Harm's Way machine gun in the gift package. Perks seem decent so I'll probably keep it.

Received a legendary primary from the daily, so...Hawkmoon?

Spoiler

Yeah right

 

[Namikaze1]

Yeah, I died a couple times. When I was on my Titan.

Sure you were. I was there for when you both died. It were separate occasions but I was there.

 

[SlenderBeans]

Anyone raiding CE anytime soon? I still need to run it.

 

[figadapaura]

I hate using anything other than an offensive super, so self-rez is shit to me unless I'm soloing a Nightfall. And even then Radiant Skin is preferable.

There are shit Hunters, of course. Doesn't mean anything for the class's capabilities.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Essentially, they are all the same then. Those are all abilities though, is there a specific class that amplifies shooting or something?

Gunslinger Hunter. Chain of Woe and Gunslinger's Focus (or whatever the hell it's called) are solid if you just want to straight up pop some heads.

 

[EL CUCO]

To all you Warlocks out there, this is for you

Stop pestering me, you damn Hunters! I haven't forgotten about you!

Come at me!

 

[Feorax]

Anyone raiding CE anytime soon? I still need to run it.

Ikkarus mentioned running it a few posts back.

I'm up for it if anyone is forming a group.

 

[DJ Lushious]

Anyone up for some rumble?

Once I went into Rumble with a friend. It was fun every time we killed each other (me doing more killing then him), but I think it was a bad move, 'cause I dominated, won, and killed him a bunch. I don't think our friendship has ever been the same since*.

* This is a dramatic post, intended for humor, and does not reflect any living persons, dead or alive. Though I did win and dominate. That part is absolutely true.

Honestly, I'd rather play with my friends, than against them. So, I keep Rumble to solo play only.

 

[figadapaura]

Sure you were. I was there for when you both died. It were separate occasions but I was there.

Maybe, but I've died more times on my Titan so your point is moot.

 

[figadapaura]

I've got 3 of those without Field Scout, it's become a slap in the face now since I run mostly hand cannons.

 

[Hidden One]

Anyone running the nightfall? I need to run it twice

Love playing rumble with friends... When you're play by properly it's hilarious when you kill each other. It's also good for bounties that you struggle with (sniper headshots for me) as they can come down and give you the kills

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Of course the gift would be the badger I purchased on Monday lol. At least I can use it's energy to upgrade my current weapon.

 

[Namikaze1]

Maybe, but I've died more times on my Titan so your point is moot.

I haven't died. Not once. On either classes. You still died as a Hunter. My point still stands.

Then again, you guys did say RNGesus is in bed with me.

 

[Major Williams]

Ran the CE raid last night. While RNG has been good to me in the past, I got only shards and energies for 2 full raids and the beginning two drops (and chests) of the third raid. Final Crota fight - received my 4th fusion rifle and second helmet...

... I want Black Hammer....

 

[Kor of Memory]

Man, what is this, week 5 or 6 since Crota's End?

5 or 6 weeks, 3 characters, still haven't seen a single helmet drop.

I finally got my first chest piece yesterday on my Hunter.

32 still seems so far away.

 

[figadapaura]

So what was your point then?

 

[LordofPwn]

What bounties does eris have today. I'm 394 rep away

 

[purg3]

32 still seems so far away.

The helmet wasn't a possible drop for the first few weeks though.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Gunslinger's Trance.

Yes, that.

What's everyone's choice for a legendary, non-raid, 331 primary? I'm hearing a lot of the Rapier and Red Hand.

 

[Deku Tree]

Did CE raid every week on my Hunter since week 1. Got lots of gloves and boots. Still no chest piece and still no helmet.

I have killed Crota 18 times according to the Grimoire. A few for no drops. We have had five resets with the opportunity to kill Crota this far.

Eh, everyone is a lord these days!

Gunslinger's Trance.

I fell in love with that perk. So useful!

 

[Feorax]

Actually, I think I have a Crota CP if anyone wants to just get that done quickly?
