I bought a green primary weapon engram from the Cryptarch and it had a Shingen-E in it. Got super lucky I guess.
not even close
i'd say golden gun + combustion is far scarier or even titan defender shield in salvage mode

So many deaths. Glad it's not easy!
Oh crap - didn't there were rewards for finding all of the chests.

yep, for bonus XP
3 Titans. <3
Gaddamn, so they like died 200 times in one raid and plaid for hours. Bungie wasnt kidding when they said it's hard.
Shingen-E is green? I have shingens but I don't remember what letter they are. I think Shingen-C?
Just that one guy. He himself died 281 times. Not the whole group.
Edit: Some of the others probably died more than that.

If I say I suck at PvP it would be the biggest understatement of the decade
I'm a fucking joke.. level 10s rape me like a sitting duck.. I can't aim shit, I get killed in one blow! wtf?
I'm level 20 btw and I think I have semi-decent equipment

Super Pox VLO for PVE. I'm not really into pulse rifles, but it's the only legendary I've gotten so far.
Rare lvl18 Shingen E for PVP and for Nexus and Moon farming.
C is green. E is blue.

Nope, it's a blue. But green engrams can give you blues.

Yeah I think some of the secondary skills are random. Mine is explosive rounds or +2 agility when using the weapon.

it's the only real reward from finding the 5 gold chests in one area. The rest of them give you diddly squat, not even a trophy/achievement.
I mean I guess one of the chests in mars gives you a strange coin.

Someone on GameSpot's stream said that they'd been playing for 14 or so hours. They were kind of shocked by the time when someone said what time it was. One guy wanted to take a 30 minute break and the other guy wanted to go longer. It may of been less, but still over 9+ hours deserves a stretch.
Each of those guys died hundreds of times.

nerf that shit too, actually just remove them altogether
Cool. Any purple equivalent? What about the Grim Citizen III?
No worries man, we were getting spanked (well, you and me were
). Level 26 ads are no joke, will have to tackle it again after levelling up my armadas and getting that legendary chest piece I'm saving up for.Peeps, what's a good spot on moon patrol to farm mats? Anywhere have them more than others, or is it just a case of drive round and get what you get. I wanna say Archers Line looks fairly good for it. My Armadas need loooots of helium coils alongside ascendant energy.
Which is another thing, any good way of getting ascendant shards or is it just pot luck? I've got enough for the first final upgrade but not the second.

expected it to take longer for people to figure out how to beat it.

Yeah, no. Fuck that.
Imagine getting shafted on the random rewards for completion....
I have the exact same setup :| Also Invective shotgun for pvp and Plan C fusion rifle for pve.
Yeah. Sounds... fun?
Not there yet. I know my place in life, and my place in life is not to brute force a raid.
no clue about purple shingen equivalents but things just get... different at purple anyways
nerf everything that works!

Same, but I don't think it's fair to ask for that much. It's not like people cleared it within an hour after it unlocked.
Folks aren't going to go hard at it like these folks did.

Unfortunately your equipment doesn't matter much in the multiplayer because all stats are normalized. So it doesn't really matter if you're level 20 or level 2. If you can't aim and aren't making the most of your abilities (super, etc.) you're going to have a hard time.

I really would like to try the raid, but man.

Yeah, no kidding. Raid content doesn't look fun at all.
My recommendation- start using a scout rifle in strikes and patrol. It'll force you to headshot every time and thus improve your aim. I've been doing that since I use a Cryptic Dragon (legendary scout rifle) for PvE and it makes my Shingen E a real monster in PvP.
If yo heads stickin' out, it's comin' off son!

Bungie should remove weapons and special abilities from the game altogether so that every PvP match is just a dance off.

All these wikis are terrible. I'm trying to find out the item on a vendor, but they all have shitty ways of listing items and the vendor's wiki doesn't have their items.
13 hours straight and hundreds of deaths lol cmon
only a special kind of people are built for that kind of shit in the first week of a game's life
I'm not trying to do it until level 29 now
my focus is now devoted entirely to queen's wrath instead hahaha

I'll treat raiding in Destiny how I treat it in WoW: wait a couple years until I'm way over-leveled and then solo it for fun.
Took a little longer than I expected. I think any future raids will be done quicker because people will have an idea of what to expect.
Hokay thanks! I'll be grinding the shit out of that.
Yeah, each member's personal death record in this raid sits between 250 and 290 time. It's insane. I am sure those stats will change when people know what to do, but damn.

So why can't I get matched with people in my own level? Why am I constantly facing off against max levels in PvP?
Is matchmaking that hard to do?

So much truth to this comment. I've especially liked reading the reactions from people who've never MMO'd or seen what a real Raid, was, even if this was the FPS version.
10 year plan. Eventually, this raid will be incredibly easy.

Tried PvP Conquest for the first time today, and I get one shotted every time, and no matter how furiously I play(harkening back to Halo 3-reach days), I keep getting 1 hit TKO.
And is there no counters against the abilities?
Help me out, gaf, Destiny's PvP is harder than a typical FPS.

I'm still kinda lost on some of the damage types. I've noticed that higher-ranking enemies (or at least their shields) can resist regular bullet damage, is there a type of damage that does work on them?
Precisely. Down the line, we'll see people solo it.

take your time at first, learning the maps is key. Always use your motion sensor and try and be calm about it.
its funny how many people start a firefight and start jumping and shit, take aim and keep it locked you will win most firefights.
of course shotguns and supers and number of enemies changes every fight but get the basics down first.
