I... I just want a badass Hand Cannon... How do you people have these things!?

I had to buy most of mine. I got a pair of boots twice now, but had to buy a helmet and chest piece. Legendary weapon though? Not a chance, stuck with this strangers rifle forever it would seem. It's gonna feel like saying goodbye to an old friend once something better finally drops.

Got the 500 points with void weps done for the exotic bounty. Next party was 15 motes of light which I had and now its a special version of the lvl 26 strike where you fight the ogre I have to keep it alive or something till a boss comes out.

Wait, you mean the moon strike? You have to keep that thing alive? Seriously.....that boss has a boss? Well I'll be damned.

at this point, I really dont know what to do anymore besides farm venus for hours on end(which I already have been). I have everything legendary and exotic, besides my special weapon which is rare. I have maxed out crucible and vanguard for the week(I think it resets tomorrow?).

Yes resets tomorrow,
 
This thread is seriously unreadable. It's just people complaining about bad luck with drops and engrams. I know there are already 6,000 Destiny threads, but we need one to actually discuss the game, not RNG.
 
My first legendary was a blue engrem that upgraded to legendary leggings

Then got a legendary engrem that downgraded to a rare chest

For legendary vanguard cape from Vanguard. Legendary chest from Vanguard. 95 marks total.

you don't understand

if i can't be a level 30 gawd in a week then this game cannot be worth 60 bucks. what the fuck is a fun anyways?

edit: nerf everything that has ever killed me

I really love how I keep getting disconnected from Crucible matches with no error code (just says you have been removed the game world) as I'm up way too late fucking myself at work tomorrow as I'm trying desperately to hit the mark cap before the weekly reset occurs since I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like. I'm not even halfway to the Vanguard mark cap either. It also doesn't help that over the last day I've been disconnected from about 10 Crucible matches, most of them towards the very end, and I get no credit for any of it (at least mark/rep wise). I hate myself for doing this, but I also know that in a week or two I'm going to be short on marks that I need to get a piece of gear I need for a level up and I'm going to be super annoyed.

I think people would probably be less angsty about not getting legs/exotics if you didn't NEED them to see new in-game content, which the game is already solely lacking as-is. In a lot of games you can see all of the content, your gear would just determine the difficulty. For example in Diablo 3 you can see the entirety of the game at any level including the side stuff like Rifts and Greater Rfits, your gear (and to a lesser extent level) dictate what difficulty you can do it on. Destiny directly ties your level to gear, and your level dictates the content you can do. If you could do the Raid at level 20 and you just needed better gear to do higher difficulties of it for potential higher rewards that would be fine and I would feel no pressure on getting legendaries/exotics ASAP. But because there's this hard gear requirement AND they've got rolling weekly caps, and daily and weekly content I feel like I'm just going to wind up burning myself out really quickly here. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of middle ground, there's a pretty relatively small group who has the endgame gear needed for the Raid and the level 28 weekly, but then most people are still in the 20-24 range who are just hitting a wall trying to progress. I'm not sure that I agree with the levels being tied to gear post 20 was a fantastic idea.

Need two more for weekly strike before it resets! I am a level 25 hunter on ps4. PSN - Beantsprout. Hit me up on gaf or in game we can knock it out real quick.
 
You don't max out. Mods are random. Elements are needed. Stat combinations are distinct.

To reach basic 'geared' in Destiny you need, in no particular order:

Two (or more) Exotic armor pieces, one for each of your specs. Possibly more than one to have different build options open to you.

Three Legendary armor pieces with complimentary attribute bonuses and the right special mods on them that fit your build.

Three or more Exotic weapons for each of your weapon slots to suit different situations. Really, given the variety of Exotic weapons, the ultimate goal would be 'one of each' which is going to take forever.

Two Legendary weapons that rolled mods you want for the remaining slots, and just like the Exotics, the hunt for the perfect Legendary weapons will take you bloody forever - you would need nine perfectly rolled Legendary weapons to have every option covered, and that's ignoring that even if you have exactly the mods you want, weapons base stats/attributes vary, so even if you get an Auto Rifle with the mods you like, it might not be the RoF/recoil pattern/handling attributes you prefer.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd you're also going to want three different elements of each Special Weapon and each Heavy Weapon, to cover all the different possible Epic enemies and Skull modifiers.

So no, you're not going to have a perfect set of gear in two weeks because you looted one Exotic item and you have a full set of Legendary items.

The gearing system in Destiny is extremely deep, and if you don't think you need it, you haven't tackled an Epic difficulty mission yet. That shit is hard.
Damn, my two characters won't be maxed out until Destiny 2. I can live with that
First time I've been angry at the game. Found a purple item, I get it identified and I'm it is indeed purple. Problem is it is a warlock chest armor, I'm a hunter.
That's your problem, you're not a warlock. :) one of my students has had the same experience with his titan. He's had three purple drops and they're all for warlocks.

If you want to torture yourself, sure. Some of you are acting like there isn't vendors that literally sell you legendaries.

and i'm pretty sure you can hit level 26 with just two vendor legendary armors
