I spent last 2 hours doing patrols on Mars and walked away with 6 blue ennegrams (3 primary weapon, 1 helmet, 1 pair of boots and 1 special weapon):

*The special weapon turned into an uncommon shotgun (sweet... )

*The helmet was a rare helmet, but low level trash

*The boots were rare boots, but low level trash

*2 of the primary weapons were rare pulse rifles, but low level

*But the last blue ennegram made it all so, so worth it!!!

What's uppppp?

So I made this quick video to show you guys where I farm and how I FINALLY got some PURPLE STUFF!!!

Some of you probably know about this already but for those who don't try it out and let me know if you've had any success.

Also please be patient. Of course you can get lucky and get a purple or multiple ones in 20-30 minutes or so but it does take time to grind this out but it is very rewarding because not only do you get abunch of green/blue + chance of purple engrams.
But also you get so many that you can level up the cryptarch multiple times after maybe a 2-3 hour run depending.

defender titans are actually pretty nasty in pvp.

I want to max out striker 1st cause I really like the flying kick to the head, but defender does seem interesting.

Kind of sucks though I would think I would want a team on headsets to really use it in PVP.

So... I got an exotic sniper rifle last night from running around Venus doing patrol missions.

It actually came in a purple engram. It is an infinite ammo sniper rifle, 6 rounds in the chamber, and it auto-magically reloads itself one bullet at a time. There is no way to manually reload it and I cannot pick up green ammo boxes with this rifle.

When I got this weapon, the game was texting me that I could only equip one exotic weapon and one exotic piece of armor.

I am currently at work, but I'll see if I can get a screencap of it through my Vita.

It's called Icebreaker...and I freaking love it. You can just sit in the corner of strikes and hit the boss without needing to go look for ammo. Almost feels a little OP...and I don't mind a damn bit!

It eventually upgrades to cause enemies to explode when killed. :)

I've been trying to level my Defender sub up through pvp and its been ok. Im not totally happy with Ward of Dawn, I think there should be some detriment to enemies who run inside.
once you get the overshield from it, there's a big one. 4 bladedancer cuts to the face inside that shield and he barely had a scratch on him.

edit: different one just got on a 10 kill streak in this match, lol

That reminds me, if a Defender Titan uses his super for that bubble of invincibility, can he survive a Warlock's nova super?

yes

nope- it's the only thing that can break it, so far as I've seen.

Pretty sure it can with the increased strength skill. I got a blast shield medal for putting it up right as the warlock launched it. Unless I'm thinking of their other super.

Titans smash will destroy it though.
 
So far done a glimmer run on the Onyx mission and only one black tar thing to double the glimmer, no legendary drops and very litte in the way of Silken Codex.

Maybe it was patched slightly as the guy in the video says the glimmer doubler drops once every couple of minutes. 1 in 30 minutes is not even close.

Did the second venus mission on hard and holy heck the vex are super intense. There is no running from those minotaurs.

Yeah, I'm kinda stuck there at the moment. Sad thing is that I'm at lv20 and still havent figured out how to reliably put those damn things down.

Also, earlier in the mission, there's something tucked off to one of the sides of the map called a Praetorian (i think?) that looks like a Minotaur, and it laughed off two void rocket shots to the face with zero damage. I just gave up and ran past it.

Would anyone like to help me do the weekly Nightfall? I'm only level 25 so I won't be much help but I'm trying everything to get one more piece of armor to get me to level 26 for the raid tomorrow.

I'm on PS4

Is anyone here a Level 27?

And if so, without enough Ascendant Shards, do you need all Legendary and/or an Exotic to hit 27?

is it possible to play the story with randoms? I thought this was confirmed before release. Like I just want to jump in a story game and play from there. Can't seem to find this option anywhere. I don't have friends who have a PS4.

It's "The Dark Beyond" on the moon.

If you want to attempt this please watch the whole video I explain how you can replay the mission even after "failing" quick without having to do the WHOLE mission all over again...with my method it starts you back at the gate and you only have to watch the cutscene again!

Going to try this. Thanks.

"Scourge of Winter" was a really great mission!
I loved going inside a Fallen warship.
Probably my favorite of all of the story missions. One of the Mars strikes is similar. Both of those feel like a real assault against their respective enemy types to cripple them by taking out a leader. They're extra satisfying.
 
Maybe this is a little off topic but the main thing that's killing my enjoyment of this game on PS4 is that I can't hear ANYONE well with the default earpiece. I went to gamestop and purchased a single ear + mic turtle beach headset and the same problem with that.

I check my system settings and headset volume is on max.

Is there a single ear + mic gaming headset that works well with PS4? Cause I really wanna get into Destiny but can't when I'm cut off from community interaction like this....

Anyways I'm level 11 and if anyone wants to play please holla:

PSN: Tegras

I use the Gold headset, has buttons for decreasing game sound but leaving mic volume at existing level. It's seperate to the overall volume buttons. Worked perfect!

if you set that bubble on a flag, aint NO ONE taking that flag while that bubble is up. Titans are damn near invincible inside that bubble.

That reminds me, if a Defender Titan uses his super for that bubble of invincibility, can he survive a Warlock's nova super?

A warlock can toss a nova bomb while inside the shield, and not only will the titan survive it, it doesnt even break his/her personal shield, probably wont even go down at all, thanks the that instant shield buff so that warlock is going to find out the hard way why they dont enter a titans bubble.

All my first places didn't give me ANY loot, even though the whole other team got something. And guess what? When I was dead last on Bastion I got a Legendary ingram + Strange Coin.

This can't be random. Seen so many 1st places w/o any reward for them.
 
So I actually just got my first exotic and it was Rocket Launcher called Truth. Got it as a reward from the crucible. I was pretty damn stoked to say the least.

Yup, unless another titan comes in with Fist of Havoc ready to go.

Oh wow, you're right! Sadly, the game won't let me take a screenshot of it from my Vita. And yeah, I absolutely love it! XD

This is exactly what happened to me when I tried to bladedance a Titan inside that bubble of his.

The balancing in the Crucible needs to be curved.

Some level 20+ dudes and dudettes are running around with an astounding amount of shields
