Dude. I just shared this on every media I can, because it's just that good! Thanks a ton!
I'm talking about the titan defender, not the bladedancer. Pretty sure whenever you use your super you get an overshield(effectively). All supers give damage resistance except golden gun(and the bubble shield/sunsinger if you don't have it specced for damage resistance), it just comes up with bladedancer because their super lasts a long time and has an easy 1 shot kill.

That's what my friend has been using it for. A bitch when there's no respawn.

I turned in a couple this morning but I doubt I'll have time to complete them all. I usually only get an hour or two (max) of game time per day.
And with my intermittent connection issues, it can be a frustrating waste of effort sometimes, such as this morning, when I went all the way through a strike with randoms only to get dropped at the boss and left without a way to rejoin.

I meant that all I did was use the shotgun
Tried fusion rifle for the bounty but I was booty butt cheeks. Swapped to shotgun and I went 2+ kdr all the way

Bahaha, I hit level 21 during my lunch break.
Yes, I'm now playing Destiny during my lunch break rather than eating. I believe I may have a problem.
Not sure if someone responded already, but you have to be at scout-rifle distance from the cave. Too close and they won't spawn, or spawn slowly. Also, if any acolyte or the thrall escapes and starts fighting the fallen to the right of the cave, the respawn won't happen or will happen very slowly. You need to clear all of the acolytes and thrall out before shooting at the cave.
That's really why it works. The game spawns the acolytes and thrall quickly because otherwise the fallen there would not be fighting against anyone.

It won't let me open this chest on the moon.
Lol! Same here. I'm a level 24 still rockin the Rare level 15 Shingen-E. I cant say it hasn't served me well
haha I've been through quite a few, had the C before I got the E at level 16, then got a level 20 one when I hit 21. Been using it ever since! It's definitely going in the vault when I get a legendary, has been such a wonderful gun for so much of the game.

That damn chest did that to me in the exact same spot D:<

Quick question for everyone (well, Hunters, probably).
Am I encountering a glitch? I have the perk on that increases the duration of arc blade if you kill an enemy. Problem is, it doesn't do that for me.
Anybody else encountering this issue?

If you happen to get a Silvered Hushwind, it shoots just like the shingen with minor variations.
That seriously sucks about your connection, I'm sorry
On the bounties, some of them are super super super easy to complete. For Overcharge, if you start The Dark Beyond story mission and just blast thralls with a fusion rifle it will be done in literally under one minute. If you allow yourself to die and restart there, you can also kill the acolytes for Hive Majors bounty very quickly.
If you have a quick charging fusion rifle in PvP it can be glorious. Shotgun vs. Fusion Rifle battles in close quarters are intense.
Awesome! Thank you so much!

It did that to me, math. I had to let myself be killed and then when I respawned it worked.
I must've dismantled about five shingen Es since 21
You'll love it when you get it hold of it, beats the shit outta the C!I've got two nice handcannons, but I'm not a fan so they're in storage til I do a hunter.

It almost like it spawns behind an invisible wall.

It's a glitch that happens sometimes. I've seen unharvestable Spinmetal Leaves too.
its a pretty small boost tbh. you need to kill 3-4 enemies to really see its effect
Encore? It has always worked fine for me, though I don't like it in exchange for Stalker. Maybe log out and back in? Hmm..
Yeah, if you want to really test its effects, start The Dark Beyond, and use Showstopper in the middle of a bunch of thralls.

Looking to get the vanguard/crucible rep up
Just curious if I'm missing anything other than patrol, bounties, strikes, and material turn ins for vanguard.
I believe PvP is the only way for crucible marks / rep too?

Are we going to find out you're the Traveler and you've been guiding us through our quests? I'm just curious.
If you are indeed the Traveler, gimme some Legendary and Exotic equipment please, it'll really help out, promise.
I stock up on ammo consumables, or you can buy green engrams for crap cryptarch xp. Or some emblems.
engrams to level the cryptarch
What useful material did you get
i'd say yes, especially when they mob you with multile heavy bastards. I did a lvl22 strike last night. I'm lvl22 and the others were lvl20's and we had our ass's handed to us, it was ugly.
I like the way you think. Doing this now. Close to having Cryptarch level anyway.
Wait, did you see the first guide?Looking to get the vanguard/crucible rep up

Bounties are the main source of rep, and the only one for Crucible rep. If you've done all the daily bounties, make sure to also do the Daily Heroic and Weekly Heroic (also give good rep).
The 24 Vanguard strike playlist is then the next best, but it's primarily for marks (6 marks, 25 rep each strike).
Crucible marks are only earned by playing PvP matches. 3 win, 2 lose.
edit: Oh, you are missing patrols for Vanguard. +10 or 25 rep a piece. Easy to knock out while doing other things on whatever planet, but low rep gain compared to bounties.
The "Do 6 beacon missions" bounties are the jackpot for Vanguard/Faction rep.
I hope I'm (potential spoilers, I guess?)
more benevolent than what people are saying about the traveler.

Word, I will get up to level 23-24 and then see what happens. I'm a 21 and will try out the 22s tonight.
It's crazy how much easier it is when you are the "suggested" level rather than even one level below.

Yeah, though I'm trying not to game the system like that. I try to do most things in the natural flow of the game. Like I said earlier, we'll see what tune I sing when I truly become desperate.
So far, so good...I usually spend it on the Cryptarch to level it up faster.
Ammo synthesizers, engrams from Rahool.
I hear you. If you're okay with the pace you're going then just keep at it.Yeah, though I'm trying not to game the system like that. I try to do most things in the natural flow of the game. Like I said earlier, we'll see what tune I sing when I truly become desperate.
If you do want shortcuts due to your limited game time just post in here and I'm sure you'll get tons of suggestions.

Fine then, as a more benevolent Traveler, be nice and GIMME SOME DAMN LEGENDARY GEAR YOU ASSHOLE!... I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, now may I please have some Legendary gear?
One actual question for you: I have yet to finish the campaign, I think I'm on like the level 14 story or something. Should I get the story completed or can it wait while I do bounties and strikes, etc? I'm just wondering if I get anything, gear or whatever, for finishing it.
Is there going to be some third sub-sub class? I saw the open spot and got excited.

Blow it all on engrams at the Cryptarch. This will up your level and you will be rewarded with a possible Legendary item.
Green engrams cost way more than heavy ammo synthesis and are a far inferior investment. They move cryptarch rank up like 2%. Not worth it!
Invest in Ammo Synthesis and you will not be led astray
"Possible Legendary Item"
You mean a purple engram, yeah?
