That is what full auto means lol. Hold trigger for auto fire.

My Strangers Rifle has full auto mode as well. I am having lots of fun with it even now. 230 overall damage. So not bad at all.

My point is it's only useful if it increases the fire rate as well. And apparently it does.

I've gotten 3 Legendary Engram drops. The first was a rare, and the second two ended up being a Legendary helmet and Legendary gauntlets. Both were equippable. All obtained by PCP farming.

I'm not gonna start doing drugs just to get better gear. Think I'll stick to doing bounties thank you very much.

Then you are extremely lucky. my success rate with legendary engrams has been in the 10-20% range and I have gotten over 20.

Yeah the Stranger Rifle is pretty awesome once fully upgraded.

The only thing that needs a nerf are Hunters cloaks. Those things are way too cool, at least compared to my "warlock's bond". So jelly :(
 
Titan shield is amazing. The upgrade that hands out overshields is not only good for capping points, but can be used a recharge point when pushing forward.

Of course it isn't invincible. A super can trade with it. No super and the Titan inside has a huge advantage and can lock down an area.

Titans are fine.

Titans are fine for the most part, grenade is not really on par with the heatseeker bs the other two classes get but thats alright, as more people gear up and play pvp the weaknesses will come through and the balancing will begin.

Yesterday was a good day for me in Destiny. New ship and exotic bounty (I went for the shotgun), looking forward to playing tonight!

Got 2 Exotic weapons now (still no legendary for my class though). Shame you can only equip one weapon though.

Been farming on Old Russia. Seems a really good spot for engrams.

Bladedancer is the most annoying, OP subclass in this game. Super commando melee lunges with super speed and a shield on top of all this? Ugh...

yeah the shield is what I have a problem with, too much

Mhm. Bladedancer itself is somewhat OP, but I've had so many times where I absolutely should have killed one but they barely survive due to the shield. Without it they wouldn't be a problem.

Yes, the shield is too much but necessary to get the bladedance to a equal level with titan-smash and void-bomb.

You almost cant kill a titan that uses his smash (you certainly cant with bladedance) and you will absolutely die to the voidbomb even if you somehow manage to kill the warlock.


At least you can kill a bladedancer if he is stupid and you are smart about it, something that does not apply to the panic button titan-smash.

Supers are almost all free kills (with the exception of the defender bubble but that thing makes it imposible for the enemy to cap a point if he doesnt have his super up and the golden gun which is still the most balanced imo).

Finally got a shader that looks cool and isn't two weird colors slapped together.



Got it from the mail robot in one of the cryptarch level up packs, called Thunderdevil.

I got that yesterday from leveling up my Cryptarch as well. Got it to lvl 15 and got it as a reward from the post master.

the bat is coming for you bro, I'm sorry. The "panic button" titan smash might seem like that at times but with so many ways to be one hit killed in this game there isn't often any time to panic and then get off the super. I have been killed several times mid smash, that second it leaves you hanging in the air is an opportune time to get blasted by a shotgun or two.

Sticky grenade is great if you have good aim. Also putting the dot inside a bubble shield can be incredibly effective.

Suppressor grenade is very useful too when capping a point and sitting in your ward.

Again, the grenades all feel useful enough to me.

Whats the best way to obtain Shards? I need some to upgrade my Legendary armor.

You get one for completing your first public event each day. Do one of those every day.

Then just luck from engrams. Maybe rewards from pvp? Somewhere else I'm forgetting...

IMO: don't upgrade your legendary gear with shards. Save them for Exotics.

not complaining just stating they're not going to actively hunt other players like the others do, the damage over time nade is really good on a cap thats being taken over

So out of a grand total of nine purples, I got one legendary scout rifle, a cloak I already have and the rest was crap. Its starting to feel like buying a lottery ticket for a chance to win a lottery ticket.

That's the one thing I'm after more than any other thing in the game. I hope RNGesus blesses me with one soon.
 
Just picked up the game yesterday. Played about 90 minutes total, but it was broken up a bit as I was getting dinner and doing stuff.

Enjoyed my first couple of missions. My friend (Level 18) helped me out on the second mission, which was fun to do stuff with him, but sucked because he is so much stronger than me that he would just run in and kill everything, removing basically all strategy.

I'm going to have to figure out how to catch up or just play on my own (which I'm okay with).

let your friend start the missions and do it on a higher level. It will be a bit tougher for you but at least your friend won't one shot everything. you will also get bonus XP making you catch up faster.

Nifty AND saffron-colored!
I'm easily at 10+ legendary engrams without a single legendary item. I've rationalized it in my head by thinking that they've named it that to keep everything simple by not introducing too many names, but in reality it should have had a separate naming convention that makes it sound like "good engram" and "better engram"

I have a titan at lvl 20 and no.

Of course you cant hit the panic button if youre too slow but you become almost invincible if you do, if you have the perk that lets you take more damage whil using youre super you are invincible, not even a rocket can kill you.

Maybe you can actually be killed while in the air but the horrible netcode just does not allow for this to happen, never have I seen a titan get killed by a melee / shotgun or baldedance without also killing the attacker.
(almost never, the 3 times this happened the attacker completely lucked out because it certainly isnt the norm)

This may be my MMO-ish problem coming into it. I don't like riding coattails. I want to play the game, you know? It's not necessarily all about just being a higher level, it's about the experience of earning that level and how I got there. I don't think I'll improve as a player by simply getting higher levels. But at the same time, I don't necessarily want to be alone while having this experience.

I'm caught! Rock and hard place, no!!!!

Have your friend create an alt in a new class until you get closer to him.

levels mean nothing in the game. you could have him pull you to his level in one mission or in PvP or however and then start doing the story missions at your level appropriate.
