Man that farm spot. Wow. Already peeps there but just jumped into the mix. 3 blues in maybe 6 minutes and like 10 greens. Turned on a hive glimmer item and was making some good glimmer too.

Sometime soon Bungie is going to kill low level RNG I think

First time trying it. Will def do it a lot tomorrow for motes and special coins

I am at a massive disadvantage using a scout rifle in crucible, But I refuse to use a auto rifle like 99% of the people online.

Most unbalanced game ever.

I dunno, I've been doing alright with a mix of scout and shotgun. Not top of the charts but not bottom either.

Sweet and can crucible and VG marks be used for factions?

Thanks for the info btw.

No, only crucible marks can be used for factions. Also you wont get vanguard rep if your doing faction rep. You have to choose who u want 1st. Vanguard /Crucible or faction.

love the feeling of my skill painstakingly improving... hand cannons ya'll :D
I so love hand cannons. You can kill shotgunners before they close enough to do any real damage, and long ranged weapons can't get a good enough aim on you with those super high impact stats you're inflicting on them.

At least that's my theory, i'm not really sure how good inpact damage actually is. I only use handcannons because for some reason I only ever get scout rifles and hand cannons to drop, and who wants to use a scout rifle?

The garden was beautiful but I too was really disappointed how it was mainly just a hollow backdrop.

As for the final fight, I hated it. It didn't feel epic it just repetitive like most other mission encounters.
Was there a single difference between the three statues??

Oh cool wavedashing! Too bad Bladedancer got cut in Brawl. Maybe as DLC for the Wii U Smash?

http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheG...atistics_we_decoded_590_engrams_here_are_the/
Some statistics by a guy on Reddit.

(small sample size of 55)
PURPLE ENGRAM RARITY:

White: 0
Green: 2 \ 3.64%
Blue: 33 \ 60%
Purple: 19 \ 34.55%
Yellow: 1 \ 1.82%


Seems a bit generous. I reckon with a bigger sample size the purples might be around 20% or so on average.

So I just got done doing the Nightfall strike and I think I found a pretty damn good strategy for Phogoth.

First off, it's a really good idea to have a void Sniper Rifle, Fusion Rifle, Rocket Launcher, and/or Machine Gun. One of the modifiers is Void Burn, which increases void damage from ANY source, including your own grenades, supers, weapons, etc. A lot of people don't realize that it affects us as well as the enemies. Make sure to buy some Special/Heavy Ammo Packs because you won't be seeing many ammo drops.

So after you get past the 3 waves at the door and make your way past the Circle of Bones you'll get to this hallway...
This is where you're going to spend most of the fight.

First off you need to clear out the Hive that are there with the boss to begin with. After that aggro Phogoth, head back here, and attack him from the doorway.
Now the trick with this room is that after a good 10-15 seconds there will be a shrieker that spawns and WILL one shot you. So you gotta head back to the hallway to despawn him. After that you can go back to the doorway and attack Phogoth. Now the shrieker isn't the only problem, you're going to have a TON of adds. When they get close to the doorway head back to the hallway and wait for them to despawn. Though we did encounter some Thralls and Knights that liked to hang out right in front of the door and we had to take them out.

So attack Phogoth from the doorway, when adds get close or shrieker spawns head back to the hallway and wait for despawn, then rinse and repeat.

Hope this helps, good luck Guardians!

scout rifles are viable but auto rifles sadly smoke them. The only gun I'd say is truly unusuable in pvp is the pulse rifle.
i'm hoarding legendary engrams in my vault

Hey me too!
Don't like using it with my bladedancer either, but it can be pretty useful for dodging high level enemies in strikes.
It takes some getting used to but it's now one of my favorite anythings ever

The RNGods were finally good to me after at least 8 thrown away Legendary Engrams.




Also got the Crucible helm via a Rare/Blue Engram.

Purchased the chest/hands pieces from the Vanguard vendor @ 65 marks each.



May the RNGods bless you all. Gonna farm marks for some boots.

I'm so jelly of all your goodies, enjoy them Guardian.

Has Skywatch yielded any Legendary engrams for anyone lately?

I farmed it with 2 peeps last night for a couple hours, got none... got quite a few rare engrams though, mostly turned out to be crud :p

I find farming quite relaxing... like a massage of loot.
 
it's actually not employing the same structure as diablo at all. it's misleading because of the engrams I know.

I certainly see your points of difference from the guide, but I think we all owe a loot debt to Diablo on some level. Cases of players receiving loot for other classes will be familiar to D3 players, especially back in Vanilla. It's a rookie loot table structure mistake. Hopefully Bungie keeps an open mind and doesn't become too invested in their existing system. Because man the game has potential.

And a failure in communicating the terms of the loot structure can be a fatal error. If the player cannot discern the potential for rewards intuitively then the system loses its hook. It's complex for logical reasons yet ultimately self defeating results.

I actually found that my time with the pulse rifle was as productive as my time with scout rifles. Both are usable(best at long range), but on most maps the auto-rifle is a better choice. Handcannons kind of occupy a strange space, though. You'll win most one on one battles at short-medium range if you hit with every shot and get headshots, but if you miss one shot you're dead. AR's are a lot less risky.

Haha.. I've not encountered any Skywatch trolls yet, did have some peeps go sit in the cave for a while... I just kept shooting them in the face until they got the message...

I wish chat bubbles existed sometimes, "Get out of the cave please" would have been easier to say than 10000 bullets to ones grill.

Quick post again for a new page. If anyone on PS4 is looking to do the weekly heroic strike, send me an invite at Crovax44. Level 26 hunter, ready to go!

I sent you one. We're already at the endboss but it's just 2 of us so it's rough.
