RNG?

Random number generation.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

These Mangala skin drops can seriously fuck off.

 

[Juraash]

RNG was kind to me today. I hit rank 3 Vanguard and they mailed me a reward, which contained a legendary scout rifle. So that saved me two weeks of gathering marks. On top of that, got my Cryptarch up another level and he gave me 3 legendary engrams. Got a new legendary Warlock bond, a mote and a coin or two from the endeavor. Super, super stoked.

 

[Namikaze1]

See, this right here is why I hate you right now. I would grovel for an Exotic Auto Rifle, especially Suros Regime or Hard Light.

You will hate me even more if you knew how incredibly lucky I have been so far with legendary engrams.

Are you RnGJesus?

No, I'm just incredibly lucky!
Why do you think I still haven't die from carrying around the First Hokage's necklace?
Please don't tell Tsunade I lost it.

No, just ninja jesus.

That too. Just call me Narujesus.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

So is it coincidence that all of my legendary weapons seem to be that red themed vanguard looking weapons? Or are there simply not too many legendaries?

 

[Dany]

aw yiss

legendary hand cannon.

 

[zero margin]

just doing a regular story mission on mars (still haven't finished the story) and a legendary engram drops and ends up being a legendary sniper, got a blue in the same mission. Good way to end the night.

 

[Zomba13]

So yeah, Arc Blade needs a nerf. It tracks through a blink! I shouldn't get hit by it if the guy uses the attack and lunges just before I've vanished into the air! It should miss!

On another note, I've got a Hand Cannon that fires explosive bullets that deal half the bullets damage in an AoE. Handy if you miss a guy and he's by a wall or something

 

[RoboPlato]

I've been stuck for days needing literally ONE light to get to 23.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Speaking of hand cannons, they literally ruined every other weapons for me in regards to PvE. I'm kind of bummed out about that.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Anyone up for a daily heroic? Another gaffer and I need a third member, ps4.

Alright, here's a clip of the video I captured showing some terrible lag.

The real Destiny starts here

 

[Death Metalist]

Played for about 7 - 8 hours for the first time, got the game today after preordering the ghost edition from Amazon and played it during the afternoon. I think the best thing is that I got lucky and managed to match everything in my equipment from Ship, Sparrow to character.

TITANS REPRESENT!

So far I am having alot of fun with the game playing with my brother and/or friends. It's greatest strength certainly is the gameplay, visuals, soundtrack, atmosphere and general feeling of playing with friends. Reached Venus and finished the first level of Venus only. Also, finished all the levels + strike/patrol missions of Earth and Moon.

It's disappointing that the story is so weak and the general feel of the world while amazing to look at it's just empty, reminded me of the first Borderlands alot. I hope they do fill it up or do something with the updates + upcoming DLC but looking back at the Halo games, Bungie certainly have done way better. Don't know what went wrong there. Another thing that is lacking is the repetitive nature of the game. The game is basically just defending your Ghost about things the player doesn't care about because the story didn't bother to flesh them out more, It's like Bungie didn't care to do so and in turn we the player don't as well. All the cut-scenes in the game make me want to skip them just so I could get back to killing with my friends again.

Never got a legendary/Exotic yet and my brother who played with me for the majority of the time found just 2 legendaries lol. It seems that it takes way too much time to gain such loot and it doesn't bother me that much to be honest, I learned that with MMO's even if I don't play them, you need to have lots of patience basically. What bothers me though is going through a tough strike only then to get NOTHING, come on atleast drop something. From all the strikes I did, the boss didn't drop anything. Not even one engram or something. Not for me, nor my bother lol.

Played the crucible for 20 minutes and the matchmaking is broken. Basically I am being thrown into rooms filled with 18 - 22 leveled players and damn, I can't even breath. I kept dying in one shot or two by everything lol! Too confusing at the moment but I am guessing the crucible is made to be played after you have DRAINED everything else and got the best of the best unless they fix the matchmaking because it sucks currently from what I played.

In short, I am enjoying this game alot in terms of the gameplay,atmosphere, design plus playing with the people I know but everything else about it is disappointing because of the fact that Bungie did way better with the Halo games and that's a FACT.

Same thing happened to me the other day. No numbers pop out when you shoot enemies, but enemies don't even aim for you. It went on for about five minutes. Then, out of nowhere, it goes back to normal.

 

[razgriz417]

First legendary armor was for Titan, I main my Warlock :/ Guess I should finish lvling my lvl 11 titan now...

 

[Union Carbine]

Level 15 cryptarch. Still no purple armor for my class. Totally not broken at all

That's not how it works. After leveling him past 1 or 2, which let's you buy everything, all leveling up does is grant you a random reward for each level.

 

[NastyBook]

Finally found a shader I like.

Everybody Loves Raymond Beowulf.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Got my 2nd exotic bounty. I wouldn't touch the bad juju rifle one. 25 strikes is a ridiculous amount.

 

[zero margin]

I've been stuck for days needing literally ONE light to get to 23.

lol I went from 22 to half way through 24 in about 5 hours today. sorry bud lol

Crucible is leveled out no matter what level you are. Except for your skill unlocks, those matter.

 

[razgriz417]

Is there a point to using + light armor if it doesn't raise you another level? I'm level 20 right now with something like +8 light altogether but have better stats on my non light gear.

I orginially only used gear that gave me the bonuses I wanted and was hovering around lvl 20-21, noticed I kept getting gear between lvl 16-19, while my friend who was a lvl 23, got lvl 20 gear. Decided to suck it up and wear the best light gear I had and I started getting higher level gear with higher light values. Maybe its all in my head but I'm sticking with the best light I have

 

[Dubz]

20 hours of playtime and no level 20 gear. Not one piece.

 

[Bunta]

2nd time my team bails once they see it's dust palace.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Never playing Rumble again. I just danced during the last game because why the fuck not.

Got a blue engram for getting zero kills. ¯_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Icyflamez96]

.

That has to be the coolest looking guardian I have ever seen

 

[Bizazedo]

Defend the Warsat in allegedly 10-15 minutes at the Anchor of Light on the moon, allegedly. I just did that in the Hellmouth, though, so I'm betting they mixed it up and it's an extraction crew.

 

[Hawkian]

Can someone tell me what modifiers are on the weekly strike this week?

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

So I finally got an exotic bounty and can't decide between the one for thorn(hand cannon) or invective(shotgun) this is tough, I know it'll be quite some time before I get another opportunity like this.

Never can tell I've got two of them going right now.

 

[Trickster]

So how is the level 26 weekly heroic supposed to be doable without arc/void/solar burn? Big elite mobs like wizards and knight are so hard to take down. 3 shots from my golden gun takes maybe half the health of a single hallowed knight, and the shield and a third of the health of a wizard

Can someone tell me what modifiers are on the weekly strike this week?

can't remember the name for it, but other than the heroic modifier, the other modifier is one that pretty much prevents enemies from being staggered

 

[Namikaze1]

Alright, posting a second video. That one you got to see.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Can someone tell me what modifiers are on the weekly strike this week?

Epic, Juggler, Angry, Void Burn and Nightfall of course. Unless you mean the other weekly, in which case Heroic and Angry.

 

[Tawpgun]

Man.... I got Beowolf but it looks like like shit on hunters. Too much blue. Even when theres no blue on the shader...

 

[Death Metalist]

Crucible is leveled out no matter what level you are. Except for your skill unlocks, those matter.

Interesting. Knew there was a catch oh well, guess i'll have to spend some time on my character before jumping onto crucible. THOSE DAMN BOUNTIES! *shakes fist*

Those knee pads look really goofy.

I am actually more surprised that everything matched, didn't care for how they looked lol, here is how I looked before getting another set of better leveled armor, got lucky twice. To be honest I prefered how I looked before however, higher levels > looks.

 

[Two Words]

What exactly does increased light levels do to your character? Just higher HP?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Well Finally I'm starting to come together. Just got my gloves. Now I'm finally level 26. Now to get the materials to finish upgrading boots, chest, and gloves lol.

 

[nib95]

Got a fair few Purple Engrams today over the different farm options (Moon and Earth), which is weird, given yesterday I got only 2 in lord knows how many hours. Unfortunately only 2 out of like 7 of the Purple's I found today actually materialised in to anything (Legendary Rocket Launcher and Scout Rifle). In any case, here's my character so far.

And one looking out on to some incoming ships.

 

[NastyBook]

2nd time my team bails once they see it's dust palace.

What's wrong with Dust Palace? I enjoyed going through it. Too easy? Not enough loot?

 

[Icyflamez96]

Lol @ the Cryptarch twitter https://twitter.com/TheCryptarch

 

[Steel]

What exactly does increased light levels do to your character? Just higher HP?

Actually I believe it's just a higher damage modifier.

 

[HiiiLife]

How do kids who get their ass kicked in crucible end up with legendaries at the end of the match? Fuck outta here Bungie.

 

[Seil]

What's wrong with Dust Palace? I enjoyed going through it. Too easy? Not enough loot?

I enjoy Dust Palace since the three bosses make it seem like there's actual progress within the battle.

 

[Death Metalist]

That has to be the coolest looking guardian I have ever seen

Thanks! I'm sure they won't last long. Almost any time I get something better, I change it instantly and dismantle/scrape the previous gears. However, I got lucky twice by matching everything lol. Any matching gear I keep just for looks on MP but otherwise they are useless in the main game where you get better equipment as long as you play more.

 

[EroticSushi]

It's mainly the color scheme that I love. What shader is that? Where'd you get it?

 

[Cømet]

if you're talking about as a means to progress, don't worry about looking for engrams. they are random. they drop everywhere but the odds of one being exactly what you need are horrible. focus on earning the various currencies you can (marks, strange coins, motes of light) and buy the gear you actually want. along the way you'll get lucky drops every so often. a basic set of gear to get you to 26 is really not that intensive to get.

edit:
So close :>

Random as all hell. Got a blue engram from a level 2 dreg not ten minutes ago.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Those kids have been praying to RNGesus, and so have I

Ok, last time I post that pic I swear it. I just respond with that since people think that only bad players get rewarded.
