Here's an exotic auto rifle I got. Also for some reason I can't seem to come across any legendary gear for my class it's always for the hunter or warlock. Oh well close to being able to buy something from dead orbit anyways.

Obviously then, the RNG gods are angry with me.... "Why oh great ones do you smite me so with your blue engrams that turn out to be green filth?".
I wonder what I did to anger them...
Just grind Vanguard marks.
Legendaries aside. This is my baby. There are many Hand Cannons in the world but this one is mine.
11 bullets of headshot. A kill with the last increases the reload speed. Which is already really high. I love this. Many a Cabal on Mars have lost their head to this force of destruction.

Semi Off-Topic, but when you guys edit a post on GAF, when you push save does it just keep spinning until you refresh the page, and that essentially saved your edit.
On my work computer and home, both have this issue... or is it a secret trick to discourage edits? (tin-foil hat Guardian theory lol).

it's not like you're more likely to get more drops from one group of enemies over the other, this one is simply quicker because you have a group of friends/randoms shooting at the same place.

What is the Warlock Bond gear piece's purpose? As far as I can tell it's only cosmetic, but I'm not even sure what exactly is changing cosmetically...
Don't agree with this at all. I'd generally agree that auto rifles could do with (another) nerf, but it would be unfair to say pulse rifles can't work. I have a legendary pulse rifle, Strange Suspect, which has borderline maximum stability, and though it's not as easy to use as the auto rifles, three quick bursts is all you need for a kill, something it can do at surprising range due to its high stability.
I think there are good pulse rifles out there, I just don't think people have got the word out there yet as they have with the autos.

You have to try them before you can see what they look like, but, as you get higher leveled ones they start to have visual effects like lights and holograms. If you want to see some cool examples, look at the ones Lord Shaxx and The Speaker sell. My current one is surrounded by void energy, and looks awesome. To answer the key question, it is entirely cosmetic, with the exception that faction bonds (Future War Corp, Dead Orbit, New Monarchy) are used to gain faction reputation. When wearing a faction class item, all Vanguard and Crucible reputation earned is instead applied for the faction.

Exotic bounty time
Got the one for Thorn (handcannon), Invective (shotgun) and Bad Juju (pulse rifle)
which is easiest?

Strikes need buffing tooDamn, Vanguard rep is slow when there are only Crucible bounties
Oh well, he refreshes in 3 hours.
Patrol only gives 10-25

Good luck!, we can try the weekly tomorrow, somehow pvp makes raking in rep easier cuz time flies by.
Sorry, I was in a 2-man group myself with blazinguns. Wasn't sure we'd be able to do it but it wasn't that bad actually. If you're still going send me another invite and I'll hop in.

I've been playing a ton of PvP, that's more where my heart is (even though I average at it mostly..getting better but
).Will hit the weekly cap soon though, so the incentive will be there then to go venture PvE side. Level 21 at the moment, thirsty for some Legendary gear to get me to a respectable level.
re: The Crucible:
Can someone explain what gear bonuses carry over into PvP?
aka: Do the damage bonuses on gear make a difference in the Crucible? I know the other bonuses do.. like the ammo type, ADS type etc. I'm still confused as to what effect PvP and what is ignored.... this game doesn't explain stuff well does it
Yeah, Strike playlist needs a serious reward increase on both rep and marks.

None of the class specific gears have a purpose. Regardless, warlocks get some pretty sweet legendary bonds. I myself have the Vanguard one that's constantly on fire. Looks very sweet with a white outfit.
we have very different perspectives on this and that's fine, but diablo didn't provide an avenue for earning high-level gear of your choosing from basically a couple hours after starting the game. I agree that all loot games totally have a debt to owe to diablo but Destiny is trying something different.
Maybe Bungie will indeed change all the loot tables because of all the complaints- it's certainly possible- and perhaps the gear that I've put in the effort for will come to feel like trash because it will be henceforth easy to obtain by farming a mob spawn for an hour. But whether or not their intended structure is self-defeating remains to be seen.
You know what, I totally defer to you. I haven't tried one since a green that was totally awful.

Death, and only death.
That's a lower level, the lev 20 one does 242 damage when maxed out.
I think Damage stays the same.I've been playing a ton of PvP, that's more where my heart is (even though I suck at it mostly..getting better but

Also it's really fucking easily to grind for vanguard marks. You can reach the cap in a day.

Happens every time, no idea why. I have to click on Go advanced to make the edit work.
Yeah, better than polar oak I was using.

One of the really tricky parts of the PvP design in this game is that you can't really know whether a weapon is good without trying it. It's worse than that though because of all the upgradeable stuff which can radically alter the effectiveness of a weapon. I guess over time people will start suggesting, along side the trumped out good auto rifle examples, PvP suggestions for other types of weapon.
In some ways this is quite a cool element of the game, because you have to learn your weapons and get used to them. On the other hand, if you've got the wrong weapons for the job you're likely to have a rough time regardless. It's brutal for new players I feel, and likely leads everyone down the auto rifle path.

was in 2nd to last place the whole game while i ran around with shotgun and fusion rifle trying to get void kills. has to be the most boring way to play this game. trading kills left and right and then someone else comes along to kill the victor. yawn.
so i switched to my sniper rifle and clutched a win

12 rep for the 22 strike on the playlist is almost insulting. 30 minutes or so for 12 rep lol. Can get 200 rep or so doing patrols in that amount of time
Strike playlist rewards are basically non existent so I rarely run them

What is the skywatch grind exactly? The same chest loop from the beta?

Any and all weapon abilities, everything else is normalized. Say, if your gun has the perk: "One random bullet from this clip does significantly increased damage" that carries over.
Bungie must've realize September 25 was too far away for my b-day present.
Also, GGs to Koojay and c1rcae. If you want to win a PVP match and Koojay's on your buddy list, invite him to your fireteam.
EDIT: I hope that doesn't get him an buttload of FRs, but he's legit in the Crucible.

Is anyone else on ps4 having issues with finding crucible matches or lagging lately? It's been fine until tonight.
It's sad because they are where I like to spend most of my time

How do I use Subsinger extra granade? Gift of the Sun..
It varies for me. Sometimes they are terribly laggy and sometimes everything is fine. I don't know, maybe it has to do with the server load.

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
I find farming quite relaxing... like a massage of loot.
I got one after about an hour. Turned into a blue though. Sucks that just because it's purple for you doesn't mean it's purple for everyone else. I saw a few times that the people there would get a legendary and all I would see was green or blue.

Posting again ebcause it was at the bottom of a page
http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGa..._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.

Yup, purple is too generous
Once you unlock the 2nd grenade and select the ability from the skill tree, there's nothing else you need to do. The 2nd grenade does have it's own cooldown, so once you use both, you'll see it ticking back up to restore the first and then ticking back up for the 2nd and so on.
Finally got rank 2 in crucible rep. Bought some legendary gear. Still only Level 25. Grr. How are there 28's out there? What do they have equipped?
Wow. My legendary machine gun is crazy OP in PVP, I don't even want to know how hard you can wreck shop with an exotic.

So I just tried to do the moon strike.
Wow my team mates were bad.
They didn't even enter the damn boss room. They just stood in the doorway trying to kill the infinitely respawning enemies. I got the boss to 1/3 health MYSELF in the main room and we kept wiping. Ugh, what a waste of time. I ended up with 250+ kills and the last guy on our team had around 40.
So frustrating.

I turned in two legendary engrams just before I went off and I ACTUALLY got two legendaries back, I couldn't believe it. One was a Warlock helmet which is pretty meh till I have one (wish you could preview other classes gear). The other was a kick ass rocket launcher called.. umm.. The Cure? Or something?
I do like my Multi-Tool but I don't feel like primary is the best use of your exotic weapon slot. I think I'd rather have an exotic secondary or heavy than an exotic primary. Maybe not in PvP (which I hardly do at all), but for harder PvE content. Will probably be glad I have the Multi-Tool when it comes time to do the jumping bit in the raid, though.
