Nope. Cryptrach ranks just get you packages in the mail and it claims to affect the Engrams he sells but it doesn't.

Technically, it does at first; you need to be level 1 to be able to buy Uncommon engrams, level 2 for Rares, and (presumably; never actually seen or heard of such a thing) level 3 for Legendaries and 4 for Exotic. That said, there's not much practical difference after rank 1, since even seeing Rare engrams for sale is... well, very rare.

Bit the bullet and farmed Engrams on Venus. Hd some weapons and armor needed to be upgraded as well. An hour or close to it got me 6 blues or something. Got me some decent stuff.
But did a Strike after that and finally got my first Legendary!

Would rather have gotten basically anything else than a RPG but it is damn good as long as I have ammo.

Then I level up the Cryptarch to level 5 and got two (!) Legendaries. Each a chest piece. One for my class Titan and one for a Warlock. Guess I will play as a Warlock sometime xD Already have started a Hunter.

In PvP, if hand cannon A has a 5 round magazine, and hand cannon B has an 11 round magazine, do they each do the same damage per shot?

Shotguns are causing Crucible to reach Gears of War levels of silliness with everyone just running up to each other trying to get the OHK...

So let me get this right...

I can go to the crucible, enter a match, not even touch my controller, and still get a Legendary?

If you're lucky, yes. Doesnt matter at all how well you do in the crucible, you have the same chance of getting stuff as that one guy on your team who went 40-0 and carried your team to victory...because reasons

If anyone is off wednesday or planning on doing the raid I'm lvl 26 right now. Fully skill tree'd defense titan. Let's do this. We can start wednesday and if we can't finish then we can pick it up saturday or whenever.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Ugh, sorry about the whole PM-thingy before I went to bed last night, guys.
 
Every negative review and criticism I see I think "Yeah, that's definitely true...Yeah that should be fixed...Yeah that's not so great..." Etc.

Then I get home and play for a few hours. Because imperfections aside, the game is fun, plays smoothly, and is addicting.
Right there with ya.

I can make a laundry list of missteps, but swooping a sparrow through The Drift on Mars or getting the finishing blow on a strike boss, or jet-packing from outcropping to outcropping and nailing headshots once I set up my roost, stabbing an enemy about to clobber me with my last sliver of health, and even just running through the Tower and catching the views both inside and out... that stuff is too damn good.

There's still a lot here to love in the moment to moment - its everything else that needs work.

Thankfully we knew this was going to be a sequel grab before it even came out. That story was a train wreck from the moment they started to unveil the Exo Stranger.

Depends on the impact stat. I have a rare hand cannon that kills in 3-4 but has a mag of 13. I also have one with a mag of 6 or so that does less damage. Used to have one with a mag of 3 that killed in 2, I think.

If the impact stat is equal, go for the larger mag, unless there's some huge stability/rate of fire difference. That way, you don't have to reload before your next encounter, in case said person is close.
 
Does anyone know why I have a total of +8 light and it still shows my progress to level 21 as zero? I know +8 light isn't much but shouldn't it at least show a little progress???

My feelings as well. There's a lot to be improved but what's here is pretty damn great at the core. Any complaints I have are because I want this game to get even better over time.

So while I was sleeping, did something happen for the past 8 hours? Any new farm spot locations?

I'm convinced there's some prequesite im not meeting for me to start seeing legendary drops and rewards. I'm level 24 and I haven't evenn seen a legendary engram. AND I have never seen anyone I play with get one either.

I'm beginning to suspect Bungie did something like give all loot a fixed percentage to drop from every enemy type, so it's no easier to get a Legendary playing a Heroic Strike at your level than it is mowing down level 9 Thralls.

Anyway, I got one the other day on the Rocketfarm. Might be worth a shot.
