What? He's speaking the truth. People keep using shotgun or the fusion rifles and it's annoying.

You have one too, use it if you feel it's the OP way to win. I use a HC & AR and rarely ever die to a shotgun unless I'm knee deep in a shit storm at a control point.

If you're getting killed by corner camping shotguns in this game, then I don't know what to tell you. The game gives you so many abilities to not even have to worry about that type of player. I rarely ever see people trying to corner camp anyways.

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE A NEW LEVEL 20, FRUSTRATED LOOT FARMER, OR ANYONE GETTING ANNOYED BY RNG IN GENERAL
Fantastic guide. Should be in the OP of this and every other Destiny thread. I hadn't fully grasped the relationship between Reputation, Marks, Light etc. but you explained it much, much better than the actual game does. As a level 21 I'm thankful for your writeup as it will probably keep me progressing a lot faster and with less frustration than would have been the case otherwise.

Also hopefully it will make more people realize this game isn't all about RNG and farming, a little less complaining about the engram that got away would be great.

I didn't know you could get motes of light for when you would have reached your next level with experience.

Thanks, Hawkian.
:D

True hardcore people will spend their Motes on the Speaker's cosmetic items instead of exotics *fold arms*

Craziest thing is it kind of brought the enjoyment back to engrams for me in a different way. I'm stockpiling up to 10 or 15 legendary engrams and then I'll pop 'em all at once, like a lotto drawing. :>
 
Oh, shit. You are so, so dead Lars :D

Bungie has always enjoyed sharing games with our community. Destiny will be no different. Instead of targeting specific community leaders or luminaries to step up and try to cave in our helmets, we’re randomizing the event. To put it a different way, we’re putting a bounty on our own heads.

Each week, a Bungie team will enter the Crucible.

Each week, you’ll be invited to hunt them.

Each week, those of you who defeat them will win this player emblem.

I just had the worst lag ever in PVP. I literally was punching someone 10 times before they died. I was just following behind them punching them in the back of the head.

God damn it I'm getting really sick of laggers in Crucible. Popping in and out of existence all over the damn place. If I knew how to work the PS4's block feature my block list would be HUGE (though never as big as my Xbox live's one).

Man, it really sucks I can't level up equipment that I don't currently equip. It's annoying that once I've fully upgraded a (sweet) talent tree I get a new and better gun, but for a couple of hours it's inferior because it lacks the upgrades. It's kind of annoying in general how you just constantly get better gear from every drop, all the way up to the level cap, and then the whole "Legendary Engram" problem starts.

It's good to get in the habit of just putting them on before you turn in bounties. You don't need to actually use them.

Same with subclasses. I maxed out voidwalker and still use it a good amount, but I always go sunsinger when I turn stuff in because there's obviously no XP going to the maxed class.

Watching the stream on youtube of a team going through the Raid and picking up chests willy nilly like whatever and EVERYONE popping legendary items, ascendant materials and quality random gear after every large encounter makes me insane.

God I can't wait to get one of those capes. Just got both the Vanguard capes. Love
Both. I'm a cape fanatic
I bet you can guess which one I'm buying.

That's actually not true.

The real issue is that Bungie left the goodies in the drop table of trash mobs which means it's a lower effort to sit on skywatch for hours than doing the nightfalls, raids, etc.

Bungie made a lot of design mistakes, but I swear some of you people are just bandwagoning.
Sorry i should have clarified. I meant that the player base reduced it to that. I fully understand Bungies design was to gain reputation and marks to aquire gear. Pump the brakes...

Had this happen to me, 4 melee kills before they died.

Another time a person was running in a straight line losing connection and vanished

Didn't know Tashi and Melad had an opening at their place.
 
Does anyone know if this game would let you miss a rare or legendary or exotic engrem drop? If I just miss it and continue on and move into orbit would that engrem be gone for good?

What are some good blue assault rifles? I'm still using the Shingen. I got some blue one a bit ago but it was no good, haven't seen another since then.

Any engrams you miss will be sent to the Postmaster at the Tower listed under "Lost Items".

Shingen-E is probably the best rare assault rifle. I also use a Galahad -E with improved stability and it works pretty well too.

I noticed that completing some patrol missions has gotten me +25 rep for my faction, while most of the time I just get +10. Is there something that triggers the 25? or is it just randomly given as a reward sometime? Sorry if I missed something, but I couldn't figure it out.

So, I just got in a Strike. It was finished, I got the trophy for clearing without dying and got a rare weapon. That was fun.

I really need to level up before trying Xyor again.
Being only level 24, just the Knights 1-shot you, couldn't get past the 3 waves of enemies, though we did get 2/3 the way.

I'm also on PS3 and have no mic, so I can't really help out you guys, anyway.

That will probably be the only way to get the Raid without dying trophy. Join right at the end to collect that bitch.
 
Decided I'd start jotting down the return rate on my Legendary drops; so far, I'm one for three on Legendary engrams spitting out Legendary items. Anyone else been keeping track?

My little brother's looking for two players to hit the Weekly Nightfall Strike in half an hour or so. If anyone's interested, hit him up on PSN (PS4).

His nick there is ArcheyShiggy
