past 2 strikes I've been DC'd half way through. Haven't had this issue since midnight launch.

Yeah servers seem awful today, haven't really had any issues throughout the 60+ hours I've played, but today I've gotten booted a half dozen times and gotten probably a dozen different animal error codes.

 

[Chamber]

Also today got a legendary hunter armlet thing, one with the bones.
and a sniper rifle called the Epitaph 2261.
And several shaders from getting cryptarch past level 8 (level 13 now)

Farm farm farm your boat gently down the stream..

Son of a...

Some always has the exotics I want when they aren't even playing Warlocks. I've got the Titan exotic my friend wants. This is a ridiculous system.

 

[REV 09]

Fuck Bladedancer.

Seriously. So frustratingly unbalanced. Can't wait to get my lvl 2 crucible rank to buy the purple gear so that I can quit playing this shitty pvp mode.

 

[malfcn]

I'm starting to think Legendary engrams don't exist. I've been farming for a while now and haven't seen one.

I got 4 between the cave and decrypting. But they all turned into green and blue.

 

[purg3]

I really hope Xur has this tomorrow for the Titan gear.

I want a Daft Punk looking Titan.

Bungie just tweeted this: https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/512697475593797635.

Well then.

LOL

 

[CLBridges]

Got my 2nd exotic weapon bounty. Had a choice between Toland's Legacy (Bad Juju pulse rifle), Shattered Memory Fragment (Pocket Infinity fusion rifle) and A Voice in the Wilderness (Super Good Advice-machine gun). I chose the machine gun one cause I don't really like pulse rifles or fusion rifles plus I already maxed out my Legendary Shadow Price auto rifle and have the exotic shotgun Invector.

Figured I may as well get a heavy weapon while I'm at it. Still wishing for an exotic sniper rifle.

 

[SlenderBeans]

If anyone is up for the Nightfall strike, I'll join. Need to do it for my exotic bounty.

[Andrew.]

this is ridiculous

i'e had more connection issues in the past 3 days than i've had across the entire beta and lanch

You aren't alone dude. I was getting booted nonstop last night. Really blew chunks.

 

[gatti-man]

Got my first exotic bounty. Get hype.

 

[E92 M3]

is there any advantage if you rank up your faction to more than rank 3?

You get legendary items when you level up to 4, I believe.

 

[zewone]

I'm still looking for this >_<

I want it so bad

I got this helmet yesterday from an engram. Too bad I'm a hunter.

 

[Einbroch]

lol most likely that legendary engram is a rare, just go through the long and certain route, less stress

I've given up on it.

Now, seeing my two friends who have played less than me both having multiple legendaries and uniques is what kills me.

Is this a serious tweet from Bungie? What did I miss?

Bungie would like to request that you please do not pose for selfies in the Tower in a manner that is degrading to our vendors. Thank you.

And every rank after that too!

Fuck Bladedancer.

Seriously. So frustratingly unbalanced. Can't wait to get my lvl 2 crucible rank to buy the purple gear so that I can quit playing this shitty pvp mode.

Is it really that bad? because I use Bladedancer sublcass and still cant find a good time to use it.

 

[Hawkian]

Well, I can't see how it would hurt the game really. I would make people want to level other characters which diversifies the world and people wouldn't get bored as quick which would make them play until the DLC shows up. Hopefully they fix it in a patch or something. It's not really a big thing, but I love to think that I make progession on my account, not my character.

I totally hear that. I think you can rest assured you will feel a sense of progression on your account. Ranking a vendor up to 2 and unlocking it on that character will enable you to buy gear for the alt and transfer it to them. Any drops you've come across can also be stashed, as well as hand-me-down weaponry.

Adding now. I've been meaning to try out the Nightfall strike again.

That 2nd reply is perfect. Cryptarch is lucky we cant use our weapons in the tower

 

[todahawk]

fingers crossed
fuck!

I swear there should be a support group for us

Slow, boring day at work so far. The Thirst is Real™

Busy day at work here but still been watching the clock constantly... Can't wait to get home!

 

[kittens]

D: The Cryptarch has got you guys all by the balls. I should do a PSA on this.

Seriously. Folks are depending way too much on random drops. Go to the factions or the crucible dudes for your first purples, and then better legendaries / exotics will just come with time.

 

[cpp_is_king]

lol most likely that legendary engram is a rare, just go through the long and certain route, less stress

I like farming engrams because you can kill so many birds with one stone. You can rank up your Cryptarch, your Vanguard, you can get coins and ascendant items from doing public events, you can get rep from activating kill patrol quests at the same time, complete bounties like the 9000exp, 100 kills, etc, get upgrade materials, fill out grimoires, level up your weapons and armor, all at the same time.

 

[Cømet]

I'm still looking for this >_<

I want it so bad

I really hope Xur has this tomorrow for the Titan gear.

I want a Daft Punk looking Titan.

Me too! I wanna look dope while I smash stuff! Be better if it changed to a smiley face when you did something specific. I dunno what though.

Holding out hope.

 

[darkwing]

So it seems now I'm "that Guy'. The one who seems to piss everyone off to no end. The one who does really terribly



but ends up getting the best reward.



Even i was surprised. The only reward other people got was a few blues.

Spoiler

In my defense though I usually do better, just that match i was using an unlevelled sub class and unlevelled scout rifle.

it all evens out, people will stay on the match because of the RNG reward, it makes taking shotguns to the face bearable lol

Is the quickest way to up Vanguard rep through bounties?

 

[ThirtyPlus]

Any ever get stuck on the "Searching for Guardians/Evaluating Guardians" message while trying to find a match for pvp? It's been doing this for 20 minutes while trying to get a control match. Thing is, I can hop right into a rumble match within seconds.

Any ideas?

Side note: I am at work trying to play on a type 3 connection. However I was able to play on it yesterday with no issues.

 

[darkwing]

Fuck Bladedancer.

Seriously. So frustratingly unbalanced. Can't wait to get my lvl 2 crucible rank to buy the purple gear so that I can quit playing this shitty pvp mode.

use your super to counter it? usually I reserve my super if there is a bladedancer on the other team

 

[Papercuts]

Does anything in the game even use the mission tab in the inventory?

 

[death4romabove22]

Sorta disagree. Maybe when you get to level 28 and up or so it will feel like that, but I've played games that do what you said, and the concept of being ready for "endgame" within 10 days would have been an absolute joke.

There is for the Daily Heroic Story, Weekly Heroic Strike, and of course the Weekly Nightfall and Raid

Yeah, one of the reasons for that is definitely to stretch it out for people who have lots of time per night.

Rep may not be shared but you can gear up your alts with acquisitions from your main.

D: The Cryptarch has got you guys all by the balls. I should do a PSA on this.

Oh hey. Check it out Nicoga Bungie listened to you!

It's an interesting mix of rewarding crazy dedication to an extent while not making it unreasonable to progress a little bit at a time.



That's the point. If they were just blue and silently had better chances of Legendaries, it would have a completely different psychological impact.

There are still more variables to consider if you're counting on engrams to gear up anyway. It's just not what they're for.

Yes, that's the crux of it. Bungie screwed up bigtime with the expectations created when a player picks up a little purple ball that says "legendary engram."

What's the PSA in regards to the cryptarch ? Please do tell

 

[Korosenai]

I'm starting to think Legendary engrams don't exist. I've been farming for a while now and haven't seen one.

i just got one not even 2 minutes after starting the skywatch farm.

 

[Trace]

Please based bungie. Please don't change this bastard's inventory tomorrow. I need those sunbreakers.



Lol, you must've missed back in the thread where folks were speculating the Cryptarch was running a scheme passing himself off as Xur/a different person to get us to buy Exotics.

No for the love of god please change it. I need something from him I can actually buy, armor or weapons.

 

[SlenderBeans]

Adding now. I've been meaning to try out the Nightfall strike again.

Have you added me yet? I've have yet to get a FR.

 

[failgubbe]

Yay got a pair of legendary boots. My first legendary

 

[darkwing]

And every rank after that too!

well then, take that RNG!!!

 

[Union Carbine]

Is the quickest way to up Vanguard rep through bounties?

I think that's the current consensus.

 

[arimanius]

use your super to counter it? usually I reserve my super if there is a bladedancer on the other team

I'm shocked when the entire team isn't Bladedancers lol

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Man, I really want to be good enough to do the Nightfall strike People who have completed it, what level are you?

 

[AlexIIDX]

Crucible weapons and armor isn't only for use in the crucible is it?

 

[Afrocious]

No for the love of god please change it. I need something from him I can actually buy, armor or weapons.

No. NO!

 

[todahawk]

Bungie just tweeted this: https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/512697475593797635.

Well then.

I'm pretty sure I took at screenshot of it but the last time I got stiffed on a purple engram our whole fireteam (6 of us) got up on his table and sat down for a non-violent protest. We danced too. Guess we weren't as creative as some others have been :/

 

[Daemul]

Yay I got an exotic bounty. (^_^)

complete 5 strikes without dying.

...

~yay I've got an exotic bounty.~ (^_^)

(^_^)

You got the easiest Exotic bounty btw

 

[kittens]

Like I just posted:

Basically, you're wasting your time if you're counting on a legendary decode from the Crytarch. Working to level up the factions is a much better use of your time. Playing missions / strikes with good rewards is another good option.

 

[jay23]

hmm not really a fan of how titan armor looks

Titans have the coolest looking helmets.

Happening to me too man. I've given up for the night. Had no issues throughout today, it started about an hour ago for me.

 

[keltickennedy]

No for the love of god please change it. I need something from him I can actually buy, armor or weapons.

I wonder if they will actually boost the strange coin requirements for exotics since the game has been out for another week. That would suck.

 

[Afrocious]

I'm shocked when the entire team isn't Bladedancers lol

My god that would be horrible.

How do you know what mission provides what weapon?
