Bounties, easily.
I'm guessing.
Weird? 3 legendaries yet just hitting 26? I only have a legendary chest but I'm nearing a third of 25. Guessing upgrading legendaries makes the difference.
My buddy told me yesterday about some sort of platforming section that is included that's reminscent of Megaman.
I want in SO BAD!
....but cant =(
...yet

Yep, farmed there for about an hour last night and came away with something like 10 blues and a mote of light. You can make a ton of glimmer too if you use the black wax idols that drop there, too.
Yea upgrading them makes a big difference because their light stats aren't THAT much better than the highest upgraded blue light stats.
Only level 24 so I'll stick to the strike playlist for now I guess.

I prefer the Skywatch cave. You can access it faster and don't have to die/reload checkpoint. The only thing is after 20-30 minutes, tons of hive and fallen spawn in and duke it out. Kinda fun, actually.

I think just removing supers from PvP would be best. I'd imagine there would still be tweaks, but its a relatively simple step that would put them in much better place.
The supers don't really generate enough interesting gameplay to justify trying to make them work.

I'm gonna be timing it next time I play. Unless someone has done it or wants to do it for me.
The specials are whatever, they should def be toning down the ammo.
But the Heavy weapons also RIP through people. I think I need to start thinking about them like power weapons in Halo. It's clear Heavy Ammo drops on a timer and is in the same spots on all the map. If you could coordinate with your team to control that area when it drops you will have a huge option.

Another thing, it's really annoying not being able to have a map of the planets. I got so lost on Venus yesterday.

After being a little disappointed initially, I've really started to enjoy it again. The story (or lack of) is disappointing and I wish there was more of a variety in missions but it's undeniably fun when playing with a few mates. Contrary to what seems is popular opinion, I really like the PvP as well.
The difference in perspective is fascinating and I thank you. I find leveling, gearing up, static progression, etc. many many times more clear and self-explanatory in Destiny than in the Souls games. I spent 3 hours before killing the Phalanx (rolled Thief first character) not understanding that I hadn't yet unlocked the "hub," and I was getting extremely frustrated with the game because I couldn't even make basic- let alone endgame- progress.
I had to go to people for help with that one, but in this game I'm often on the answering end. No one explained to me what to do- I figured it out this time, and have been able to help others. It's really interesting.
I agree with this. It's not the fact that they are low drop rate. That is a good thing. It's the psychological part about me seeing purple and then getting something stupid. It makes it not even special..Its a troll level decision.
RNGesus favor's us all brother...no man knows the time and place of that favor, that is only for RNGesus to know.

I freakin love running around the whole game with a shotgun. I kill with it so badly, and I never even have to worry about ammo.
That CANT be a good thing for most people though. They need to tone down the special ammo.

I'ts a pretty baffling design decision. Even doing something simple such as having the engrams have different color schemes than items would have helped counter expectations.

This game doesn't reward you for me being good it just rewards you for time spent. Its a critical flaw for the space its trying to occupy.

I agree. I've asked them on twitter. Maybe if enough people ask about it they will add it in. I don't see a reason why they shouldn't do it.
there are like a dozen ways to convey what purple engrams are for that are for than... engrams colored purple titled "legendary engram." baffling is the only word
I disagree, and would go as far as to say this is simply not true (unless you are referring solely to PvP). We will see just how much this is the case in the coming weeks.

I don't know RNGesus, but he sounds like an ass. I'm saying that the progression stopped being fun at level 24, and the thread title and half the posts in here tell the story of why. It's no mysterious god that killed the fun, it's the way Legendary gear works compared to common, uncommon, rare and even exotic.Someone is in control of the ratios and that could be tweaked a bit to make the game more fun for people that have different tastes. For me, finding shit is fun, a slow steady grind for rep and credits is not. After 20 hours, I should have found something.

Well, winning gets you more/faster marks and rep from the crucible, at least. You won't have a better chance of the random end of match loot, but you'll be able to buy vendor loot earlier.

Ah, gotcha.. Thanks man!
Am I the only one who finds it infuriating in PvP that people when they have activated their supers do not have decreased health, but actually have increased health/invulnerability?
Like running around with OHK ability was not enough, no let's make the OHK wielding person harder to kill...

My 2 days played with only 1 legendary for a different class and no exotics begs to differ!

I got an exotic auto rifle for being good at Crucible
Regarding super abilities in PvP, I would have preferred something like the Overshield in Halo.
Have some kind of Orb that spawns at certain times and picking it up will reward the player with their super. Players couldn't earn their super without picking up the orb.
It's pretty frustrating as things stand currently. You can't counter most of the abilities at all in normal situations.

I spent a game last night saving up Titan Smash and used it on the same Blade Dancer every time he popped his ability, killing him.
I was hoping he raged every time. I only got one kill from from every activation of it, but, worth it.
RNGesus awarded this behavior with the last game of the night for me on Firebase Delphi. 4 people all on B, trying to cap it, but not yet capping it.
TITAN SMASH.
Triple Play + medals galore.
Name of shader and where y'got it?

What? You think people should LOSE health when they use their super?
I've had like 5 Legendary Engrams, 3 were for legendary items (1 for class I'm not using) and one turned into a green AR. Been trying to farm that Moon spot for hours but no luck. I only get greens and the rare blue and rarer purple.
I really need legendary armor to level up to 26, but so far only 2 legendary weapons.

Yep! Choose the lowest level one if you're struggling.

Anyone else on #teamslideshotgun
Thunderdevil and I got it from the post master after leveling up my Cryptarch to 15.
Not necessarily have less health, but is there even one good reason for having MORE health when activating a OHK superpower? Where is the balance in that?
Who isn't at this point.

Ok so I hit the 50 strikes bonus which makes it possible for cloaks etc to be dropped from strikes, there's no bonus whatsoever for hitting Rank 2 or 3 though so it seems that just rares will be the rewards for strike completion other than the weekly stuff.

I'm watching these guys farm and done fuck all. Then my bounty pops up saying complete for the one killing 100 enemies without dying.
Glitched or something?
Challenge accepted.
Edit:
Hah I'm not shooting yet engrams are dropping for me. xD

As a Titan this bugs the hell out of me. I've lost count of the number of times I've had a Warlock dead to rights then they go up with their Nova Bomb they can't be killed until after it goes off. Like I'll die from it and then after the animation is finished they'll fall over dead from the gun I was shooting them with before. It makes literally no sense and it annoys me because why in the hell do Warlock's get invulnerability on Nova Bomb like that when as a Titan I have to actually use one of my ability slots on being harder to kill during Fist of Havoc.

As a Bladedancer I agree. The lunge and speed of said lunge is crazy. It's hilarious when using it but near impossible to defend in enclosed spaces.
Then again, the Warlock hadoken and Titan hulk smash can be just as impossible to defend against and happen near instantaneously when hitting the button vs. the Hunters having to prepare, sooooo..........Everything's balanced, I guess.
The bigger issue is the boost in armor. If I could reliably shoot down people in mid-super it wouldn't be so infuriating.

Not as great as you'd hope. You have to charge nade 2 after nade 1 so at best you have one spare if you need it and at worst you use two in a row and have to wait twice as long to get 2 again. I'm sticking with burn on all grenades because I like me some DoTs.
Man the Heroic Strike was tough.
We managed to just carry out some crowd control first, those Hallowed Wizards can quickly fuck you over. In the end it was just the big guy left.
Personal highlight was reviving a team mate. Slide, Blink Strike a Hallowed Knight killing him, followed by an invisible revive. So awesome.
I know Hunter is seen as the DPS guy, but I am the medic of the team and I'm damn good at it.
