I'm very tempted to buy this game now. I wasn't a huge fan of the Alpha/Beta but all the stuff that's been released with the retail version sounds pretty neat. I may cave in today after work.... :p

Getting an exotic AR and rocket launcher on my third day of the game has made me kind of ambivalent about finding more exotics, haha. Some of them look cool, but I already have to swap my weapons around to use the two exotics I have.

With that said, I would totally kill for an exotic sniper or LMG.

I'm really excited about future updates and what the expansion packs will bring. For $20 a pack (unbundled) they will definitely be meaty.

So is there a firm consensus on which material farm route is the most efficient? Anything quicker than Rocketyards?

Also, why are there Grimoire entries (in the places section) for Mercury and Saturn? DLC?

Yep. Mercury is a PvP map, Saturn has story content.

Shattered memory fragment is a pain in the ass because you have to break down ten rare fusion rifles to get it. If you want it eventually start saving them now in the vault. I am still holding out hope that the gunsmith will stock some so I can just buy the damn things.

EXACTLY what I've been doing, I think I just need to buy 4 of them.

Well done, GutZ!

Since you probably snagged every dead ghost in the game...If you have the time, could you check your grimoire cards and see if any affect loot drops? I'm starting to wonder if luck is all you need.

In old russia, it says "Extra materials drop from material nodes in this destination." Rank 2, almost 3.
Venus is Rank 3, and says the same thing.
Nothing seems to be listen that I can find that would suggest grimoire are helping me, but cant rule it out.
Anyone know what could make is easier for some, besides random good luck?

For those who didnt know, when you hit level 3, your faction of choice will give you a Legendary Package at the postmaster. In my case, Hitting level 3 got me a Legendary Sniper. Level 4 got me a Cloak and Legendary boots, and Level 5 a Legendary Auto Rifle and Cloak. It appears every level earns you at least one Legendary, unless I just have superb luck.

OK DGAFOT3!

Favourite strike boss?

Worst strike boss?

Favourite enemy faction?

Favorite Strike Boss: None of them

Worst Strike Boss: All of them (though a special mention for Phogoth and the Flayers). Every single one is an incredibly boring-to-fight bullet sponge. It's truly shocking how poorly designed they all are.

Favorite enemy faction: The Cabal. The Phalanx are the only enemy in the game that are interesting to fight beyond a simple headshot (everything else is just "shoot a lot" with maybe a slight modifier to "shoot a lot with a specific element.")

As far as unique weapons go I hope we get to use modified versions of the alien guns. Imagine a special/heavy being the knight cannon. Or the Fallen Captain shotgun. Or that homing Fallen gun. Wizard orbs.

It'd also be interesting if (only iron banner applicable) you can add an element strengthener to your shield, but then they would also add legendary/exotic primary weapons that dealt element damage

Did you find that even when playing heroic strikes? Just curious. When you don't have the 30-second respawn I find it becomes a lot deeper. With the 30 second respawn it can be a bit spongey sometimes.

I'm halfway to Rank 2 of Future War Cult. The grind for reputation is so painful.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the reason strikes don't seem to be dropping much gear is the advisories on Bnet are the way to open them up. I have one sitting there right now where I need to beat 5 more strikes (50 total) and then cloaks, marks and bonds will start dropping too. Perhaps once you hit 75 or 100 it makes legendary or exotic gear available as end of round drops too?

Who in their right mind thought 50 strikes before getting a cosmetic bauble to drop was a good idea?

Regarding the grimoire card bonuses. Its the black bar that sometimes appears at the bottom of the HUD saying like Fallen Killer Rank 3 700/800.

It's tied to these bonuses

Wish there was a way to view all the bonuses

Got my first legendary after 25 hours last night. Unfortunately I was so tired when I got it that I accidentally held X to equip it. Bye bye legendary.

Sick of these damn assholes quitting Strikes just before the boss.
They may be getting disconnected (guess it depends on how often it's happening). I was booted RIGHT when I made it to the Mars strike boss the other day and apparently that has happened to a lot of other people on that strike for some reason. I was super thrilled!!!!!!!!!!! GG

Good catch. Legendaries probably don't have a chance to drop until you hit the 250 strike mark. Yikes.
