God dammit. Farmed PCP for about 30 minutes and had I think 3 or 4 blues sitting there, then lost contact with the servers and was booted out :|

Always online single player, y'all

PCP?

 

[Cømet]

All the pain the past week is forgotten lol. Still no purple gear though haha. There is hope for everyone out there still, never give up!

That's some hella cool titan stuffs you got there. Me jelly!





I'm tackling the weekly strike right now for the coins, if anyone on PSN want along for the ride my add's ScrewAttack_. With no arc burn and me almost level 25, this shouldn't be too bad. Angry doesn't seem like a skull that makes much difference. No worse than fighting minotaurs!

 

[Jinjo]

Damn, those are beauts.

I can't describe the feeling right now lol.

HOLY FUCK THAT HELM.

What are the skills on it?

It is, probably the most badass helm in the game imo. Let's see, melee cooldown with orbs of lights, increases melee speed and provides death from above and headstrong for fist of havoc. Max 402 defense.

 

[Cuphead]

Double throwing knife is the best

 

[MidEvlDed]

I like it because of the mindlessness and quick turnaround. Lets me listen to podcasts

As for the bolded part, if you need to switch up inventory or break things down just hop up the cliff behind where you start and find a nook to duck down into. They won't find you and you'll have plenty of time to make whatever adjustments you need to, then you can jump right back down and continue the slaughter. It's the only time my AR gets any use.

Depends what you're looking for I guess. But if you're looking for glimmer, I think the Oryx spot is much better. It is also a very short run.

 

[Trace]

Anyone up for either the weekly strike or nightfall? Just hit 26 and I need stuff to do.

 

[Blitzhex]

HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOU!





I just thought shards were the only ones. Is energy a higher or lower tier? Also, is it worth it to fully invest in my legendary chest? With upgrades I tend to always wait for something better lol. (Barely upgrade my guns)

Shards are the same tier, but only for armor. Not sure about putting ascendant shards into your chest, depends on how good it is and how much you like it. I haven't done any ascendant upgrades myself yet. I think I'll put them in to my exotic gloves first.

SO does leveling "light" gear add light?

Because i went from 20-21 without changing my gear at all.

Hunter has double throwing knife?

My gahd. I need to farm exp.

 

[Grifter]

Does wearing a faction item mean I get their rep INSTEAD of vanguard?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Here you go!

Oh you wanted purple? Sucks to be you.

Not really. My first Legendary Engram I got Legendary Armor, catapulting me immediately to 22 without leveling it up at all.

If it happened to me, it could happen to anyone.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Anyone up for the weekly heroic strike, level 22 sadly because I cannot get any good armor lol.

Legendary chest armor from a blue Engram, aw yiss. It's even the right class.

The Xbone really needs a screenshot function. :lol

Yes.

Every upgrade for "defense" on light armor will give you extra light when upgraded.

I need to level up my Crucible rank anyway. Guess I'll do some Skirmish. I destroy in that mode.

Anyone doing the 26 heroic weekly strike?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Playin Destiny
There was a Vault of Glass
I was Level 25
And it kicked my ass

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

i know this isn't a response to me but i'd like to weigh in with my thoughts. Pretty much every map in Destiny is shotgun range, especially when you factor in sprint, overshields and blink. The long lines of sight you have to stop players before they get close are often cluttered as well. Here's how the maps play in Rumble:

Exodus Blue - largely focused around the buildings where there's little height variation. too many corners and angles; shotguns everywhere.
Asylum - only 3 major lanes on the map. otherwise overwhelmingly CQB. you have to be really good to kill shotgun players before they get to you
Burning Shrine - you win if you can snipe. Otherwise, shotguns galore.
Anomaly - best place to be if you want to avoid shotguns is the heavy ammo cave. Every other chokepoint is shotgun territory
Twilight Gap - absolutely terrible, cluttered sightlines and swiss-cheese building design. Most engagements are in CQB
Blind Watch - shotguns. behind automatic doors no less.
Rusted Lands - all the major chokepoints and heavy ammo spawns are in CQB
Firebase Delphi - shotguns galore in the central rings, which hold the best sightlines on the map
Shores of Time - the only map not dominated by shotgun fights

Supers on CQB maps bred necessity for shotguns. shotguns bred necessity for ARs. the game backed itself into this corner.




Everyone uses ARs because they have the fastest kill time. You can kill 3 people with one mag of the Shingen-E in just under a few seconds. If scout rifles had the fastest kill time, people would use that.



Warlock and Titan have OHK grenades. Bladedancer also has OHK grenade





Am pretty good at the game, which is why it's frustrating how easy it is to blink + camo shotgun, or throw down a shield and create even more shotgun chokepoints. "playing the game as it is" at this point means abusing the shotguns. destiny's pace is perfect with scout rifle combat, but its meta game has currently peaked at ARs and shotguns. they've even rendered melee combat obsolete

my win percentage speaks for itself - i consistently average ~24 kills and ~4 deaths a game sniping on every map and usually end up with nothing to show for it - not even an in-game rank. Meanwhile, the players shotgunning everywhere are earning legendaries and exotics when they lose.

everything is backwards

This is a great post. I put a lot of time into PVP over weekend and it was all Shotguns and ARs. It'll be interesting to if Bungie tweets the design to encourage different styles of play in PVP. New maps with large lines of sight, perhaps?

 

[backflip10019]

Yes!

Damn! Good haul!

If anyone needs someone for the weekly heroic strike feel free to add me:

[MADGAME]

Do you guys think Xur will have different items or the same this weekend? I ask because I am going to buy a piece of Legendary gear but would be a bit miffed if Xur has it in Exotic as I have plenty of both Strange Coins and Motes of Light.

I'm Titan, and this past weekend he had Gauntlets.

Same here. PSN Daraman

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Leveling up my boots got me to level 25, can't fully level it up as I'm missing ascendant shards.

 

[chimster]

So last night I decided to try setting static IP for my ps4, port forwarding as per bungie and then even putting the PS4 on the router's DMZ.

Still no good, getting random disconnects is really frustrating.

Any other suggestions?

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Anyone doing the 26 heroic weekly strike?

Done, thanks for the help!

 

[mauaus]

Level 24 too low for the weekly 26 strike

 

[ryuken-d]

Jesus christ, how many engrams do you have lying around on the ground in that shot??

It looks amazing but ends up pissing you off cause it took like an hour and most of the stuff sucks. but then again I still have a green helmet and I'm pissed!!!!! lvl21Hgunter love this game so much, please destiny give me a good helmet.....or just any blue helmet.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Yes!

What is this I don't even

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Invited ya bud. Already started but not near the pits yet!

Ah sorry, im aiming for the level 26 version! The rewards stack so I want to aim to do it once!

 

[Sheroking]

And then it gives me a legendary armor engram the next round lol.

Yeah, crucible >>>> PVE for loot. Which sucks, because I think everybody likes PVE better.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Farming the temple of Crota right now, it's the most reliable one to farm solo I think

 

[The Lamonster]

I've been level 21 for a few days now. I don't know why I'm so behind. I've played a solid 2-3 hours a day doing bounties with crucible, patrols, strikes etc.

What am I doing wrong? Do you pretty much HAVE to farm in this game?

Either that or play pvp. The fact that your performance has no baring on the rewards makes it hard to stay motivated on the 50th match though.

Nope. It's all luck. Maybe the Weekly Challenge will help. It's where I got my Legendary Engram. All the farming I did only netted me a bunch of blues.

Or have good luck getting good drops. Or just take longer getting vanguard/crucible makes to just buy legendary gear.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Just hit level 27 and feeling a bit more confident about the raid. Anyone here beat it yet? I haven't seen as many chatting about it as I expected

 

[E92 M3]

Hmm, I just don't dream of ever getting exotic armor =/

 

[super-famicom]

Well, I farmed the Skywatch cave for about 90 minutes. I got 2 Legendary Engrams, which ended up being a Legendary rocket launcher (my first legendary drop that I can actually use!) and Legendary warlock boots (I'm a Hunter). And a ton of greens and 7 blues, which got me a bunch of crafting mats. Decrypting all of this also leveled up the Cryptarch, which netted me another Legendary engram. That got me 2 Strange Coins. Not too bad a run.
