Level 21 now, loving this game. It's extremely addictive and up to this point I actually strongly disagree that there's a lack of content or even lack of variety. Haven't finished the story yet, but between that, strikes, crucible, patrol, I'm never bored. The loot comes in at a nearly perfect pace. I never go too long without an upgrade and I always feel like I'm making progress towards something.

Bungie, just give me a chest to open after killing a boss in a raid. Let there be a legendary item in it. When I kill the final boss, let me open up a chest where I can pick up an exotic item.

To take this a step further, let these chests have a determined piece already in it. If I kill Boss 1, I know i'll always get Purple Shoes. Boss 2, always purple gauntlets. Boss 3, purple head. So on and so forth.
I don't like this idea at all. I'm 100% fine with there being no guaranteed legendary/exotic drops, even in a raid. Does everyone just want those items handed out like candy?
A raid should have plenty of loot though, even if it's just the same chests and enemies governed by the same RNG as the rest of the game.

I joined the FWC just to pretend I'm a far right wing space loon and RNGesus still hates me. Also the FWC stamp on legendary weapons makes them look so hideous. I should have went with dead monarchy for the color scheme.

Can somebody help me with what do I need to do in this crucible bounty, "Earn 10 Buckshot Bruiser medals", I'm guessing it has to do something with using a shotgun ?

Thanks !

Any good farming spots for Helium Filaments? Need quite a few to upgrade my Legendary armour.

There is a good video on youtube, google archer's run helium filament farming route, takes about 5 minutes to run the route, you just keep running in circles and the chests/filaments respawn as you farm.

You know, I didn't realize it until now, but for me, Destiny has totally nailed the "carrot on a stick" thing. I am sitting here at work planning out what I'm gonna do when I get home. Seemingly each activity that you do in the game has a reward at some point or at the end. As much as the game is rightfully critized, they did get a lot right IMO. It can only go up from here, too.

Same here. I have my complaints but I already have certain things planned out for each day. Complete a public event, daily heroic story, then strike playlist tonight. I might checkout the farming spot on Earth for a bit. Once I get 100 marks this week I will replace strikes with patrols to get my rep up to 2. I still need 1300 xp for level 2.

I think I have asked this a few times now, even back in the beta but still havent heard an answer, or been able to test it myself.

Anyone know how the "friends playing here" thing work? Sometimes I see a friend icon next to a mission and the mssion tells me friends are playing it or are there. If my fireteam joins that mission or patrol or whatever, would each of our seperate firetemas be able to see each other if we try and meet up?

So...
As an Awoken, the whole Awoken meeting cutscene makes no god damn sense. I'm one of them, aren't I?

Dat world class writing.

The Awoken are such jagoffs. Instantly made me glad I chose Exo. Although it was hilarious when the little bro bro put a knife up to my robot's neck.

Where can I get more shaders from? Or rather what's the best way to get them? I already had one in my inventory and I have no idea when, where, or how I got it.

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'm with you. I have figured it out on my own as well and due to that I feel like I got a certain sense of accomplishment from doing so. Too many games handhold too much and take all the discovery and mystery away. I always hear about tutorial levels that go on for far too long and now with Destiny it's "they don't explain it well enough."

I didn't have any problem figuring out the game mechanics I just had to work a bit. Also, there is the internet for those who do have problems.
 
you and me both.
I looked for some explanation in the grimoire, but even then it speaks of
Awoken on Earth who died after the collapse - which would be your guardian. So you'd already know about the reef. Makes no sense.

But then again, the main plotline itself makes zero sense to me. NO SPOILER -> But why did doing what you do in the end help what it was supposed to help? Beats the fuck out of me and I was paying attention.

My group in the raid got some rare materials and some legendary armor pieces and weapons. You get then from beating the boss and finding chests. At least 3 times we got something and and we looked for chests too.
 
Having a fairly good loot day, got a Legendary Helmet which was the last piece of legendary armor I needed and got the Final Boss sniper from levellig up the cryptarch which is my first legendary weapon. Already have an exotic machine gun from a bounty and doing the exotic shotgun bounty I got today as well now :)
 
I've been stuck on level 20 for 4 days now. Everything I have is rare and fully levelled up. No amount of strikes, bounties, or farming are helping me.

Kinda want to give up at this point.

I had a blast playing today. I was farming at Skywatch and this guys join in and let me know that I should stand farther away from the cave. We ended up being four people. Some kind of team work but not being able to talk with people in the game is a bit weird. Lots of blues which moved me up a level, but I'm starting to feel like I'll never get a legendary from this. But it's all fun anyway.

Just have to keep at it. Can buy gear with your marks if you have to as well. My best friend was stuck at 20 for a few days and then he finally got to 21 and went from that to 23 in about two hours. Hope the luck turns your way soon :)

I've already entered this code, but I've never received it. Is there a specific person I have to talk to, to get this item?

The other person who answered was wrong. You get the unlocked codes from the postmaster or the woman in the same little building. If they are not showing up try going to Bungie's site and making sure the have been "used". You have to click on them on the site. If none of this works try resetting your licenses.

That doesn't even make sense. All of those rares must have been on you since level 12.
