Nami, have you maxed out one of your sub-classes?

Some people seem to think that is a silent prerequisite for triggering these. Because I haven't gotten one and I've yet to max the Striker or Defender Titan class.

I have not maxed out either subclass and I just got an Exotic Bounty today. I got to level 25 right before that, but I don't know if there is any causation.

I'm playing as a hunter and ive just come across a legendary helmet but its for the warlock class, whats the point?

Either save it for a Warlock toon you make or disassemble. The mats for it can go for upgrades for a legendary piece you can actually use.

I got an Exoctic Bounty before I maxed out any of my sub-classes.. I got that bounty sat night, and maex out Striker yesterday.

It disappears because you technically don't level up with XP anymore. Instead, XP gives you a mote of light every so often. To check your progress to that, open your inventory and move the cursor over the number of your level and it will show you a progress bar to the next mote of light. When you get it, it pops up on the right side of the screen like a loot drop.

I don't know why they don't just leave the XP bar at the bottom. I'd like to see the progress toward the motes of light.

Light stats on gear will raise your level from 20 on, and upgrading the defense on the gear with light stats increases that level even more.

Just reached level 20


And where did my xp bar go? How can I level up more?

Level 20 is the soft cap. This was relayed to you by the gigantic "Maximum Level" notification when you hit 20. You can level beyond 20 by getting armor with the "Light Attribute". The more light attribute your armor has, the higher your overall level. The attributes themselves don't mean as much at this point with the exception of light. Higher Light levels allow you to access a wider range of content/challenges.

Has anyone else noticed on xbox one that you can play the game without the physical disk in the system? I bought the ghost edition and just noticed that the destiny digital guardian edition was in my ready to download section. I took the disk out and booted the game after update and am currently playing. Weird.

How odd! Sounds awesome!

I really enjoyed PvP the first couple of days but now its just frustrating... I'm by no means an amazing good player, but the amount of oneshooting abilities is just out of hand.. Get killed by special -> spawn -> some guy with rocketlauncher -> spawn -> granade spam -> spawn > fusion rifle or shotgun oneshot -> spawn..

I know that sounds really whiny but to me that hardly is fun

God damn it GAF. There was a game of Clash and someone joined 60 seconds before the end. He just stood there afk for most of it, killed one enemy, got one assist, and died. He then got the legendary emblem. The team lost 5000:2000, he joined right at the end, and shot one person. This loot system is BROKEN.


Plot twist: That person... was me.

But was it a legendary decode?
 
So, er, competitive multiplayer in this game is fundamentally broken. It's Halo but everyone has instant access to power weapons. Where's the incentive to use my hand cannon pistol when I can one shot people with a fusion rifle? Just had a game of Rumble and it was basically a case of whoever shoots first, wins. Instagib, basically. Which is fine. I love instagib. As a standalone game mode. Not as a fundamental gameplay mechanic.

The customisation is fantastic, and I appreciate the continuity of carrying over your character's weapons into multiplayer. I'm also aware that the weapons are normalised so stats don't count. But you can still one shot with the fusion rifle. And the shotgun. And the sniper rifle. And ammo is plentiful enough that you don't really have to worry about ever having to use your weaker regular weapon.

Sorry, but I just can't play competitive multiplayer when it's like this. It's dull.

Really enjoying the PVE stuff, pining for a more Halo-style multiplayer with power weapon spawns, map control, tactics, etc. CoD gets away with the loadout thing because the weapons are pretty balanced. This ain't balanced.

Another Legendary engram found, another legendary not recieved :

Just gonna grind ranks and marks to buy stuff I guess.. can I get a cheer for buying all your gear in a loot game woop woop!

I have strong beliefs in not purchasing weapons from shops when it comes to shops in RPGs. I'll eventually get a legendary in the wild.

Just reached level 20


And where did my xp bar go? How can I level up more?

You know level up with armor that has "light stat".

For your next level there will be a bar under your emblem that will show how much Light you have/need to level up when you get gear with the Light stat. If you hover over the Level 20 area in the inventory screen and it will show your progress to a Mote of Light which is increased with XP.

I've been wondering which Exotic piece I want for my Hunter since I can only have one.. I think I'm swaying towards the lion chestplate, or maybe the gauntlets I saw. Not really a fan of the headpieces.

The Vault of Glass could end up being the best raid ever, but at this rate few will be able to even play it when it opens tomorrow. I've seen maybe two level 26s in my entire time playing the game and neither was on my friends list. By DestinyDB's stats, there are only 177 level 25s currently. I can't imagine getting 6 level 26s together to raid at the same time will be easy tomorrow.

I know its not going anywhere, but it would have been nice to at least peek my head in and see what it's all about (level 22 currently)

Running it on Tuesday is gonna be hell. However, it should be easier by the weekend. If you max on your PvE/PvP marks you should have purchased 4-5 legendaries by week's end.

How does the faction cosmetic work ? I buy one, wear one, and all shit I do will turn into their rep ? Any PVE, PVP, vanguard, crucible points will convert into this faction rep ? Or is it split ? or added ?

I will be so down in the dumps if doesn't take away form vanguard rep since I have been avoiding getting a faction so far, because I want to max or at least greatly raise rep with them.

The point is to have Bungie have a good laugh at you (us).

I've decripted several purple engrams and was lucky to get 1 of them to be an actul legendary item I could use.

I don't understand the drop rate for purples, they drop rarely but always get a blue with awful stats, if you're making them give blue useless gear make them drop faster, or keep the current drop rate and make them ACTUAL LEGENDARIES.

Just played some competitive MP at a low level... that was a slog.

Also is there still a lag between when you get a kill and the "you killed ___" text shows up? I was noticing it.

Does anybody know what's the vex minotaur weak spot?

I *think* it's the light in its face. If you can pop their heads off, they'll charge at you but they wont do that stupid teleport crap that's terrifying.

It does :( All rep will go toward the faction.

That's my question exactly. Should I farm vanguard now or can I do both at time ?

one of the coolest feelings is being out on a planet in patrol and seeing the overcast announce a mission... then you see the convoy of random guardians riding their bikes make a break for the action.

Awesome.
 
So I logged in around the time the update went live, played 3 or 4 PvP matches, did a level 28 daily and completed it with my cousin then we both gave up playing and turned the game off.

Destiny.

Tomorrow best be worth the wait :(

Does it even have one? I thought shooting the upper chest and stunning it (preventing the blinkblinkblinkFUKUmelee) was the only thing you could do to it

The text has a lag, and I'm okay with that. However, there is still a lag between melee and death. It was apparent during the beta too.

Thinking about starting a new class. What would be the most useful for raids, Defender Titan or sunsinger warlock?


Also how do you get exotic bounties?

Especially when two people melee each other. One dies right away and the other can walk around for about half to a full second and then dies :|

Yeah it's been like that all night for me. Seems to be a brief window after you die where a melee hit can kill the other player, meaning that you can score a kill from a punch AFTER you've died. Really throwing me off.

Awesome.

And the opposite is arriving and seeing you have to kill a VIP with an instantly respawning shield and you're the only one who showed up.

Even with a group, those are near impossible.
