What do people expect in regards to loot? You shouldn't have all legendarys or exotics in a week. This is a Mmo! It would take months to get all decked out in ever quest or WoW.

You guys wouldn't be bitching about loot if Bungie would make it easy to communicate and get a proper clan system going. MMOs aren't about loot, really, they are about working together to achieve. If we could have a clan working together to make everyone's levels higher (even if it meant 1 or 2 pieces of purples going to clan mates in an evening) the feeling of isolation would go away and people would be happy.

but i do have all legendary and exotic gear in a week

Nope, I think it's nearly impossible compared to the Earth nightfall strike

It's certainly very hard being underleveled. The earth nightfall strike was no problem with a 27,26 and 25 working as a team.

This shit though? Fucking witches bullshit and then the knights with the shields and shit. Aw yiss. I need some kind of good legendary void weapon before I tackle that shit with my crew.

You definitely want to be 27-28 though this time since there are no spots which can be cheesed like on earth.

i mean this is really the biggest problem. why did i even join destinyGAF when I still have to add everyone individually?? there should be a tab in the roster area that lists all the people who are online in my clan.

but destinylfg.net is nice.

Got so lucky last night. Joined my friends weekly heroic, we couldn't beat the defense phase portion of Devils Lair. A legendary engram dropped before we left, got a legendary fusion rifle that's pretty damn good. :D

Well that's dumb.

Also, does anyone know if there's any benefit to being vanguard rank 3? If you reach 2, should you just join one of the factions after that?
Weapons don't unlock till level 3 across all sellers. Problem with swapping to the Faction is that they require level 3 as well, so you may as well get your Crucible and Vanguard levels to 3 before going to Factions.

Jesus that raid is fun but a clusterfuck, and the first boss crashed my PS4:/
Unlucky. My group had no issues like that.

Are your PS4 vents free of dust and fluff? Destiny makes my console run hard...
 
The raid is terrible. Fuck I haven't even gotten past the first boss, because it's a god damn grind and the lag is terrible. I got one engram drop from 3hrs of playing. God damn.

This sucks. Everything is a grind. This isn't fun anymore.

Did they nerf Bladedancer? This is the only post about that in two pages.
Nerfed from beta to release, IIRC.

To my fellow hunters: I've been running Bladedancer and I've loved every minute of it, just wondering what you guys recommend for passives for PvP. I love being agile, but I feel like just a tad bit more armor might help stop me from losing the odd firefight to AR wielders (I use a hand cannon, btw).

Buying weapons. Also, rumor has it that hitting rank 3 is how you get an Exotic bounty.

I'm about 1/3 toward rank 3 and I got an exotic bounty this morning. Friend of mine is also rank 2 and received 3 exotic bounties in 3 days. He is so lucky.

Its definitely not linked to rank 3. Could have more chance to get one but its not required that's for sure.
 
I have a couple questions about Xur if anyone remembers the answers. How many Motes of Light does it take to get an engram from Xur? I have 35 and counting. Also how many coins did it cost to get a weapon from him, they're also stacking up again pretty nicely.

Me too. Which is why I asked a follow up to that post. It made no sense.
Yeah it got nerfed, from the 1.0.1 patch notes


BLADEDANCER

Arcbolt Grenade impact damage reduced by 17% (base 120 to 100)

Razor's Edge distance traveled slowed and reduced

Quickdraw now no longer requires a melee hit

Blink now cancels invisibility when used

Everything I've heard is that the raid is amazingly difficulty and Vanilla WoW level of quality.
 
Who on PS4 wants to do their weekly?

I need it for the exotic quest and coins!

PSN is Gamer_at_Heart. Send me a FR or invite in game. I'm currently orbiting.
 
OMG every server I connect to has engram farmers on it. Urgh.

Wouldn't surprise me if it stays like that until Bungie reworks the loot system a bit.

I really think they should make loot drop more often in higher level strikes. Maybe give final bosses in the level 20-24 strikes a guaranteed rare engram drop with a chance of it being legendary.

Did you go in blind, without knowing what to do or did you look into what was required? My party of level 26s went in blind after it unlocked last night and went from start to finish of the first boss in 2.5-3hrs.

Also, Bungie said it'd be hard. I'm hoping you weren't expecting a cakewalk through it, especially not on the first day.

So I have to choose an exotic weapon bouny.

Who has a link for all the weapons for each task?

I have "A dubious task"' "Tolands legacy" and "A light in the dark"

Did you just compare a raid that has been beaten in less than 12 hours to vanilla WoW difficulty?

My god... that's hilarious.


Did you.... did you even play Vanilla WoW?!?

That's... pretty discouraging. I'd been hearing such cool things about the Raid bossfights, too :(

Dammit. Thought I'd found something cool the RNG didn't have direct control over!

Blink used to not cancel invisibility? Damn, that would've been an extra clean setup.

No we had someone with us. Who told us what to do. It's boring and the lag took a couple people totally out of the game.

Man I'm pretty bummed right now. Have no desire to go back.

yea if that's representative of end-game content then i probably am not going to keep the game. bungie has absolutely no clue how to design bosses and the raid is by and large no exception. instead of grinding away at one bullet sponge, there are 20, and now you have status effects on top of it. it's not difficult; the objectives are very simple, but throwing wave after wave of adds to chip away at is monotonous. i didn't' feel challenged running away from explosions. no lulls between encounters; barely any clever mechanics. it's just a mess of purple flashes and bullets. and from what i've heard, the reward isn't even worth it. what's the fucking point then?

i've enjoyed destiny for it what it was, but it has yet to show me it can surpass that.

Oh, the raid is difficult but fuck the lag.

I hope the share button recorded those last 15 minutes cause so much damn lag going on.
That's interesting because we had no lag whatsoever. Might have just been the time I guess.

Take a deep breath, have a drink, maybe even take a day off from the game.

Or better yet, try it with a different party.
 
I don't really get the farming and grindfest mentality. If you don't enjoy that just play the game and gear will come as it drops. I play games to enjoy myself not watch little progress bars and numbers go up. Sure it's fun to unlock a new gun or amour and I enjoy that aspect but I don't go as far as raging or wanting to trade a game away about it. SMH.
