  • players being able to talk in fireteams
  • legendary engrams decrypting into legendary items

Wait, you're supposed to die to get all those engrams?

Kill everyone except the guys with yellow health bars. There should be some engrams that drop, but don't pick them up. Let the yellow health bar guys kill you.

When you respawn the engrams you didn't pick up will still be there. Kill normal enemies for even more drops. When you are done with your run kill the yellow health bar guys and pick up your loot.

Did the Rocketyard Chest Run tonight for 1:30h. Got 7 blue engrams, 26 green items and 183 spinmetal plus 3000 glimmer. Fringe is the perfect tv show to look when you are farming the chests.

I must be doing something wrong, because I spent over an hour and got no where close to this. Even had someone spotting chests with me. A few green engrams, under maybe 80 spinmetal.

Do you have to be level 20? Leveled up cards? I'm at level 13 and it felt like it was for crazy people.
 
So what exactly entails a "reset".

for raids, you can save your checkpoints for a week and you can only earn one reward per week per character (so 3 times if you have 3 guardians). after the reset, your checkpoints are wiped and you can earn rewards again.

i think destiny's resets are all 2am pacific on tuesday

You get better engrams the higher level you are.

Once you reach a certain level, white engrams no longer drop and green engrams are automatically decrypted.

So the whole free digital upgrade thing was only From PS3 to PS4 right?

Cause the thing is, I original bought the game digitally on PS3 by accident (screwed up on the webstore). I ended up calling Sony and they fixed it and gave me the PS4 version instead.

However, when I'm looking at the PS3 PSN store I can download the PS3 version right now....

I'm kinda curious to see what it looks like (and also play with my friends that don't have a PS4 yet) but I'm a bit scared to download it lol.

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.

Sp yeah I hope you like it and never go back to THE NEXUS haha j/k
First off, love your voice man.

watched your other video, so I'm actually really happy for you. And definitely thanks for the heads up, will be trying it. Seems like it's much faster solo so I'm gonna do it solo and just keep dying. nice to know engrams don't disappear with deaths either.

pride ? having fun ? wtf is wrong with you people..
Some people are stressed out that RNG is fucking them over and aren't at appropriate levels yet.
 
Man took down Heroic Strike, jumped to Mars to do a black garden bounty and have seen 2 public events within minutes of each other. Gold on both. Nice!

Well as far as I can see, there's no progression tied to doing well in the Crucible. Like in old Halo games, you had a ranking that would level up, etc. It seems that all there really is here is some stats on Bungie.net?

Never got a chance to try out the weekly strike and would love to get it done before it goes away. Anyone plan on running it? PSN:LtOrange

EDIT: Found a group
 
Just heard the line
I don't have time to tell you about how I don't have time to tell you
and while stupid, it didn't sound so bad when actually spoken in the game. Context, maybe?


I think Pulse Rifles are better than Scout Rifles... Still deciding.

Well fuck. Doing the weekly striek at lvl26. It's hard but we're making progress. On the tank, around half health, two others are down, I have no super so I can't risk a revive at the moment (if I fail I could then revive myself and try again) so I fall back. About to make progress again after clearing some trash and it disconnects me :(

100% anecdotal but I have 2 legendary engrams in < 2 hours after the patch and 0 in the entirety of my playtime prior to the patch.

Just beat the Nightfall Strike with fellow gaffers, Dhruv and Bol. It took us a long while and many deaths but we did it.

Special thanks to the Wizard from the Moon that took care of the Fallen Captains for us. This victory is for you, our short lived ally!

I don't recall players in fireteams not being able to talk.

I've had several legendary engrams not decrypt into legendary items since the patch.

Low scoring players have still been receiving rewards more often than high scoring players.

Edit: You forgot /s
 
Postmortem death got nerfed? I'm pretty sure I'm killing after I got killed, according to the popup, but I'm not getting the medal anymore where 2 days ago I was getting 5-10 a match.

So I've been farming the shrine of oryx for the last hour or so with some successful results:

I've worked out it takes on average of 3 minutes and 40 seconds to do a run (including killing the ogre and the high level enemies in the next room).

I've completed it a fair few times and average around 700 glimmer a run. Also picked up 3 rare engrams and a legendary one in my hour there. OH and 10 silken codex (200 glimmer each).

So in an hour I've made 12,700 glimmer and have 3 engrams to decrypt. Plus as an added bonus I upgraded my subclass twice. Not bad really.

You know, for the lack of story and characters and fucked up loot system, Destiny sure does have some nice music. You know, except that Paul McCartney song. That ones is stupid. Though if it was just an instrumental or whatever it might be nice.
 
If I have one issue with the game it's this.



I shouldn't lead my team with a 5 KDR and be the only one who doesn't get a freaking drop. What's the point of even trying to do well? Might as well just phone it in and hope for something good. I know this has been mentioned before, but damn is it annoying.
