The void melee by warlocks and their void bomb are reeeally strong though

Void melee vs shotgun, shotgun wins. At this point, most people are using a shotgun. Void bomb is like a lobbed version of a rocket launcher, it'll get kills, and it's not too hard to use, but like the titan smash it has very little utility outside of Control/salvage.

Can someone tell me what exactly the Sunsinger's super does?

It says "increases your abilities". So by abilities does it just mean grenades and melee?

PVP-playing Warlocks got screwed with the Sunsinger. It's 100% support. Bungie better make up with the Arc class.
 
Naw you can get ascendant materials by doing public events they're a rare drop. And no I'm not talking about the first one in the day. A friend and I were grinding events earlier we got like 4 ascendant shards in about an hour and a half and a few energies

oh. I was sitting around earth for like 3 hours doing public events, I got one, then it never gave me anymore.I came on here earlier and someone just told me u only get one per day.
 
Why would you post this? :(

The mission design in this game is so piss poor. I can't believe Bungie's idea of a replayable loot title was going away from everything they did well in favor of incredibly repeatitive waved based encounters and sponge bosses.

I know right? Shit is underwhelming when I think about Bungie and next gen, I expect so much more. That's not even the best part of The Ark LOL as it gets way better when you move on with the level with the fantastic score hitting at the right times.

Warlocks really got screwed with the Sunsinger. Support shit. Bungie better make up with the Arc class.

I wouldn't say they screwed up the sunsinger. It can give them an overshield, infinite grenades and higher damage on everything. It's pretty damn useful.

Yeah you can get more like I said tho its a rare drop so don't be surprised if you don't always get em, but good news is on reddit someone found a public event farming route on earth

Not true at all a properly speced sunsinger is arguably one of the most op classes

Eh, in PVE maybe. I ammended my post to say I was talking about PVP.

I wouldn't say they screwed up the sunsinger. It can give them an overshield, infinite grenades and higher damage on everything. It's pretty damn useful.

I don't see anything that gives me higher damage with everything. Just teh ability to lob one grenade relatively quickly after another. I'll get killed real quick doing that in PVP. Nova bomb is a more useful super for the crucible.

Day 2, done. Played for 5 - 6 hours and got to level 20. Finished the story as well and here is my reaction to it.

what-the-fuck-is-going-on-gif.gif



The marathon trilogy makes more sense than Destiny.
Unless you get your ass to the internet and read notes about everything in the world, BOOOO!

Aside from that, gameplay, OST, atmosphere and especially the scenery are all top notch. I just wish we had more exploration and more meaning to everything that is available around us. In Halo, the scenery were a service to the ongoing pace of the epic story but here since the story is almost non existent, everything just feels empty/dull with no drive but not to mention we are playing a game where we find good shit to make our character better and there aren't any hidden cool chests in the world to find as they respawn randomly. When I mean cool, I mean they actually give you epic shit. It also boggles my mind why they are no vehicles(ground or air) only a sparrow and a pike when Bungie clearly made alot of them with the Halo series.

I don't know what went wrong but something did. It's a fun game especially with friends, no doubt but it could have been so much more. Come MCC and people will echo the statements of how Destiny could have been so much more because Bungie did better. I tried out crucible after getting to level 20 and it's definitely much more fun to play. Don't know if my stronger weapons or armor make things better but it certainly felt I had a fighting chance in a match. I'll be spending more time there now + vanguard playlist I'm guessing. I will also farm but I'm thinking i'll do that much later, don't want to be burnt out by the game.

Overall, It's a fun but disappointing game. My order of worlds from favorite to worst are Venus > Moon > Earth > Mars(Except for the final level on mars). Mars reminds me of one of my favorite levels in Halo 3, The Ark.I keep finding myself thinking about Halo the more I play Destiny. Can't wait to play the MCC, going to be fanfuckingtastic.

Edit: My post is at the bottom of the page, shit.

5-6 hours in total? How the Heck did you do that?

Finally got my first piece of legendary equipment, chest armor. This weekend I'll be buying two more and maybe something from Xur.

What does Legendary Gear from Xur cost? I need boots the most but could also do with a helmet.I have just over 100 marks I think.

Huh. Have a friend that uses sunsinger that said it gave him more damage with everything, but I believe you. Guess he had it wrong on that point. If it's just the overshield that's a bit shitty considering the defender can get an overshield with faster reload speed without even using a super.

I just looked a bit more into that reddit post. There is apparently some kind of cap on ascendant materials. The post says the cap happens after the first 90 minutes, I am assuming that is 90 minutes after u obtain the first one

Xur sells his wares for Strange Coins for the named exotics and Motes of Light for an exotic engram.

Ah yes was reading a comment on another forum and got them mixed up.

Exotic armor - 13 strange coins
Exotic weapon - 23 strange coins
Exotic engram - 23 Motes of Light och 1 strange coin
Vehicle upgrades - 23 strange coins.

Yesterday I got my first legendary and it was for Warlock. Today, SECOND LEGENDARY and I'm like WOOOHOOOOO. It's for Titan. Every class that I'm not playing. Probably tomorrow I'll get a Hunter legendary then.

Yeah someone rumored 3 but a friend and I got 4. So I'm not certain how much the cap is if there even is one.

Just played skirmish and won.
Losing team got a exotic sniper rifle and legendary engram.
Is loot just random in crucible as long as you participate and finish the match?

How did you do itttttt

You stock up on heavy/secondary ammo, then sit back in the 2nd room before Phogoth and snipe him through a door crack. You can also run to the doorway and shoot rockets at him, risky considering his beam will one shot you, lol. We did it legit up to that point, but I don't see how anyone could actually go in the room and kill the adds AND dodge his beam without wiping.

Got into a melee fight with another Titan Defender and we both plopped down Wards of Dawn and just slugged it out.
Totally confused are own teammates, though, since both sides ran into the opposite Wards and ended up dying.
Also, managed to fake someone out by jumping into a leftover Ward from a guy's teammate, making him think it was my own.

I don't understand shotgun complaints. Shotguns have been and always will be wrecking balls in melee range. It has been this way all through Halo's lifetime and it is no different here.

Happy to say I've been successful with most weapon types in PvP, aside from scout rifle, I suck hard with a scout rifle.

Well, i've got spinal muscular atrophy so my reflexes aren't beautiful...but that might work. How close should I be with shotguns?

Depends on the range of the shotgun, but generally you have to be practically touching them for a one-shot kill. However, you can be about 4-5 steps away and do enough damage to follow up with a quick melee.

edit:

The shotgun itself isn't really the problem, I agree. The shotgun in Destiny has lower range than the Halo shotgun, so it's actually weaker. However, the way most of the maps are set up favor close range encounters, which makes the shotgun an obvious choice, though the fusion rifle works pretty well if you're good with it. Also, the fact that it's so easy to get secondary ammo doesn't help either.

I have done well trying out every primary myself, but the AR is definitely the all-around best. A low recoil one can get you steady headshots, and if you miss one or two shots it barely effects your damage output. If you miss a hand cannon shot, you've lost a full second of firing.

Raid has been going ok lately with my guys. I think will get past a tricky bit today when we aren't so tired, that seems to be the case each day we play and get refreshed :D

Man I wonder what gear we shall get should we complete it at some point.
