Did you just join this thread or something? I'm pretty sure a main topic of discussion ITT is how bad the loot system is.

So I'm assuming the preferred route for public events is just back and forth between Mothyards and The Divide? Doing patrol missions during the downtime?
Yeah, 6 is a bit rough. Still curious as to how it performs with that DoT upgrade though.

Good morning Destiny OT, what's new with you?
Last night, got a third of the way to Rank 2 in Crucible Rep and I'm a quarter done with getting to Rank 3 on Vanguard.
Also got my first exotic bounty. It was given to me after I completed four crucible bounties and gave them all at the same time to the NPC. Then I had to pick between three golden bounties. I picked the one saying "Speak to Ikora Rey" since it looked easy. I went to her and now my mission is to clear 5 strikes without dying.
Guess I'll go AFK on some Devil's Lair strikes.

There's plenty of negativity in the other Destiny threads on here if that's what you're looking to discuss. I'm not saying that negativity isn't allowed here, either. There's plenty of things that Destiny gets wrong and Bungie should definitely look at the issues.

yep, the times are not 100% but that is what you do if you want to grind for Vanguard.

No there aren't and no it isn't. This isn't "Destiny: Put your fingers in your ears and sing "la la la la"" the thread. This is the OT. A discussion thread. Good and bad. This is a discussion forum. It's hilariously childish that people refuse to engage with attempts at discussion about the blatant negative aspects of this game. I've seen countless references in this thread to "urgh, don't go into X thread, they're being negative and mean about Destiny". Seriously, you should be ashamed of yourselves!
If you are any decent in PvP you can do that bounty easily with void fusion rifle.
What did you want to talk about then? I'll be negative with you!
Is this a troll post or did you miss the OT's thread name joke about legendary engrams? It came about for a reason.
Oh ok thanks for the clarification. If public events give rep and I can do 4 per hour minimum, I wonder if I should stick to that rather than focus on spinmetal farming.

There has been plenty of negative in this thread too.
^^ Like that guy said. The freaking OT title is negative lol

Dude... what is there to discuss that hasn't been discussed within the past week? Most of us already talked about the negative aspects of the game and do not feel they may warrant a retreading of it.
Loot system sorta sucks, PvP is kinda unbalanced, the story isn't really there. But I am having fun playing it.
Right now the people talking are discussing how to best get rep and gear, we already bitched about the stuff last week.

What are you talking about? Look 5 posts up and 5 posts down, you'll see plenty of discussion about what's wrong with the game.

Is this a troll post? Did you read the post I responded to with the post you just quoted? It was literally somebody saying "this thread isn't for negativity, it's for people enjoying the game". Literally. Read it. It's just up there ^.

Playing this yesterday reminded me that I haven't played competitive FPS since Unreal Tournament the First.
Loving the game, loving playing, but feeling rusty as shit as a level 8 with a hand cannon. The story progression is fun, the design is fun and it's pretty as fuck. Feels good to come back, even if I got served more than I'd care to admit yesterday.

It's really not. You're overexaggerating.
Pretty sure that's just 500 points. There's another exotic bounty that someone thought they meant to kill 10,000 guardians in the crucible and it turned out they just needed 10,000 points and it took them ~10 games.

Do both! I forget the place name (Rocket Yard, perhaps?) but there's a ton of chests and spinmetal in a loop, and a Devil Walker public event springs up every 15-30 mins. Great grinding location =)
I wouldn't focus on any 1 thing specifically, but do a bunch of things together. Look for chests, look for spin metal and kill trash mobs for XP and engram drops while doing missions and while waiting for public events. After a few hours you should have made a lot of headway and had a lot of fun in the process by going all over the area. Rinse and repeat on all planets.

It's mostly because of how fast the thread moves. Most things get ignored.

I personally love it the way it is. I'd say get used to it, it's not broken. That's what the PVP in Destiny is all about. There's plenty of viable solutions to prevent getting frustrated in these situations by changing up your playstyle a little bit.
Agree it feels a lot like the Halo multiplayer. Not sure i'd go as far as saying broken though. I've not had much luck one-shotting. A bit here and there with the FR/shotgun, but nost of the time the opponent seems to end up with <75%.
Talking of Halo though, I'd love to see some SWAT here.
I'd like to echo some of the other opinions I've seen about raids. I'm nowhere near 26 yet (12) due to having to WORK and a FAMILY. Also the chances of me finding (a) the time and (b) having 6 'friends' available to co-op the raid are non-existent. So, sadly i expect i'll never get round to it. No matchmaking - Nice one bungie
Final point. The wife and I quite often spend time co-op'ing games in the evenings once parenting duties are done. Had high hopes for this, having LOVED halo. The lack of decent story and couch co-op has really dissapointed me. Hopefully the sucess of D3 will make dev's aware of the market for couch co-op.
I really hope you're being ironic, you can go back 50 pages to see the constant complaints about drop rates if that gets you off. Most people here are too busy playing to sit down and type paragraphs on paragraphs on why this game didn't exceed everyone's expecations.
I'm back with first world problems.
Why the fuck do I have 3 exotic weapons and an exotic weapon bounty?
RNGesus told me to fuck off yesterday. I got a purple chestpiece off of a legendary engram...after I fucking bought a purple chestpiece I've upgraded from a vendor.
Because of that (and I suggest you folks do the same who can), I've decided to wait until Friday to spend all my marks on gear. I have 17 Strange Coins. I'm going to be getting some armor whether this game wants me to or not.
Why the fuck do I have all these guns.

There's been plenty of negative discussion. Check out OT1 and OT2. I think most people left in the thread here are just enjoying the game now...

It is rocket yard, you can go around farming chests and you will get it and spinmetal spawns more frequently there I believe.
Someone doesn't agree with me! Crucible isn't broken. It could use some balancing, but it isn't dire.
I agree. I'm fine with Crucible the way it is now. I've been having a ton of fun in there, even though I'm not that great at it. I just wish Salvage was a permanent mode.

Hahaha, dude I hear ya. I got two exotic launcher Truth and two pairs of Warlock legendary boots from my haul yesterday. Still stuck on the Thorn quest because it's that epic 26 version too.
Honestly, most FPS multiplayer games that I play that allow for player selected loadouts are terrible so it was kind of expected.
This is annoying since there's another bounty today for salvage. They need to fix that.
As opposed to a fully upgraded sniper rifle? That sounds useful.
That's going to be fun. Given how often legendaries go out in PvP, I wonder if Iron Banner will have an increased rate.

Does anyone know where a Hive Major/Ultra reliably respawns on Patrol?

Doesn't Iron Banner open up by the end of the month? I know a new PvP mode should go live this weekend....

On nights where I won't get to play very much, I'm tempted to just do a PvP match (even though I suck SUPER hard at it) simply to get the loot. That makes me feel so dirty since I won't really contribute to my team in any meaningful way, but the way loot works means it makes perfect sense to my gear progression.
This shit is bananas
I went to my buddies place on Sunday and played with him all evening. Him on his PS4, me on my Vita. Awesome time.
On Old Earth, close to where you spawn on entering the planet, there's this building with Fallen coming out. Go in and follow it down into the deepest lowest levels. You'll find some level 18 gold Fallen. Kill them and they'll respawn within a minute or two always.
I don't think it's "broken" at all. I did my 5 rumble matches for the bounty last night and had a blast. I think you just don't like it, and that's fine too. And what exactly do you feel is "broken"?
