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.

As a bladedancer sometimes, I find those stupid sunsinger warlocks way more unbalanced. I had one take three solid hits before dying before, and they can pretty much 1shot me with whatever the hell grenade thing they're using.

I know someone posted that guide to the player events for earth before but what is the best route in layman's terms? I get the event at the cave and then where do I go to? Id love to get more marks ready for the weekend.

 

[hidepsyence]

2 strikes, two consecutives disconnects on EU (lvl 13, but still), yeah, probably would be a good idea to stop for the evening

 

[TEH-CJ]

Is xur out today?

 

[darkwing]

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

lol i'd ragequit

it's tough enough the bladedancer has a shield while he/she is going towards you and you know you are going to die lol

 

[matrixman92]

lvl 27 and I am still using a lvl 20 blue shingen-E, this weapon is so good lol

 

[Chamber]

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.

Don't spread this evil.

 

[MisterCrow]

So the icons on the left side of the map are for daily and weekly missions, right? What's the benefit to doing those over replaying story missions? Are they unique from the rest of the game's content? There's also a Crucible item in there which never stops flashing, nobody seems to have figured out why. Any ideas?

 

[off duty ninja]

I feel like one of the apostles spreading the good news about the treasure cave here at my office. I was hating all of the "farming runs" but the treasure cave is for real!! I must get home for more cave goodies before it gets nerfed because it feels inevitable.

 

[arimanius]

My god that would be horrible.

I've actually had a few matches like that. It was.

 

[LiK]

Titans have the coolest looking helmets.

Dayam right

 

[everyday math]

lol i'd ragequit

Deal with it.
If I have to deal with titans having 3 shields. You certainly can deal with one.

[kittens]

I rarely get more than two kills as a Bladedancer. I'm way more consistent with the Golden Gun. The Bladedancer's invisibility perks are REALLY nice, though, especially for reviving fallen allies in PvE.

 

[Hawkian]

And every rank after that too!

that is... quite fucking cool. even if you can't use them you can get ascendant shards. sweeeet. thanks for the info, i'll mention this in my next guide

Is the quickest way to up Vanguard rep through bounties?

Quickest way to raise ANY rep is always bounties. Obviously, PvP ones won't do Vanguard though. The Daily Story Heroic and Weekly Heroic Strike are good too but are only once a day/week obviously. That's followed by the Strike playlist (unless you've capped your marks for the week), and finally patrols. Mat transfer isn't really ever a good deal across the board, but it's more for marks than rep.

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

Well I'd ideally make it a poster with nice graphics and such, but general speaking...

Stop giving your hopes, dreams, and glimmer to the Cryptarch. We know nothing about him. He does not have your best interests in mind.

 

[Lucent]

I've never seen a legendary engram.

I do at least 5 bounties a day, play at least 5 Crucible matches a day, and generally farm for an hour or two a day while I work.

Game is just stupid.

lol yeah. I farmed for a few hours last night. Got 22 blues and 4 purples. None of them were purples. =l

The only good thing I got out of it is strange coins. I need 2 more to get an exotic from the weekend merchant as long as he doesn't change prices. So I guess it wasn't a total loss.

But yeah, from now on, I'm just building my FWC rep so I can buy all my armor. Screw the loot system.

 

[Trace]

They give bonuses. The weekly strike gives strange coins, nightfall can give exotics and other stuff. The daily gives you marks and extra xp I think.

 

[sploatee]

Sunsinger is the best

Being able to hold position in air and aim...invincibility after a melee kill...an explosive grenade...and being able to spew out orbs of light for the rest of the team...

I do like blink though (the Voidwalker teleport). It's handy as an escape. I use Voidwalker for strikes with +armour but the rest of the time I just love being super-fast.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

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..

Now I know what I want Xur to bring to the tower tomorrow. Heart of the Praxic Fire > Sunbreakers.

 

[CLBridges]

I really want to make a serious attempt at the Nightfall strike and the Raid over the weekend. I need that Suros exotic rifle, looks so good. Maybe Xur will have some good stuff tomorrow, think I have like 22 strange coins and 30-something motes of light. Maybe I can buy the weapon I want.

[Pop]

I've done 99% of all bounties since release, no exotic bounty.

Why Bungie, why

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

hmm not really a fan of how titan armor looks

iunno dude i think that looks gundamazing seriously

 

[bitoriginal]

Bladedancer is just an easy target to complain about. It's really not that good a special, it requires close range and is easily countered. I've died way less to bladedancers compared to Warlocks and Titans that get massive kill streaks with better range.

 

[malfcn]

I'm a warlock. But Titans just look bad ass.

 

[CyberpunkGod]

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

I want a Daft Punk looking Titan.

I can only hope he has that.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

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.

I also don't see the point in spending 3 hours sitting in the one spot shooting every 3 seconds. Do the daily story, strikes, bounties, crucible and actually have fun with friends or whatever.

I'm team Hawkian, had an awesome couple of hours playing strikes with him the other day.

Titans turning into Gundams might make me roll one up

Using the cryptarch is how i got 3 pieces of legendary armor and an exotic machine gun, so its not impossible. And it only took me two to three hours of grinding. Which wasnt bad because i had tv snapped and I watched some supernatural.

This. I've yet to kill anyone using bladedancer, it works wonders in PVE but PVP thats a different story but then again maybe I am bad.

Same here. I can run away from a Bladedancer a third of the time, but the nova bomb and hulk smash are pretty hard to dodge. I usually play with a team, though, so we can warn each other when a Bladedancer is running around.

 

[Hawkian]

The Cryptarch is a charlatan.

Have we even ever seen him decrypt something? He just stands there, and wags his head around.

Everyone is so goddamned bad at Crucible.

 

[SPACECADET]

just got to 21 last night after much engram, glimmer and material farmings. beat the main game finally and did some strikes. have yet to see a legendary or exotic. but i'm hopeful that tonight will be my night.

I haven't seen a single person ever run away from a Bladedancer. They never make it far enough. At least for me.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

If I have to deal with titans having 3 shields. You certainly can deal with one.

One hunter in a Crucible match, LOL riiiiiiiiight

"Oh, let me take that legendary engram and decrypt it... Geez, what bad luck guardian, another rare." Dude prolly has piles of legendary and exotics under his table.

You're not alone. I haven't seen one yet either.

Is a (leveled) scout rifle in PVP really as godly as some people make it out to be?

Can you read? Hunters get one shield during super. It usually last a couple seconds at most.

[Mister Zimbu]

You're not alone. I haven't seen one yet either.

Don't worry. I'm bad at crucible (console multiplayer FPSes in general) so it's going to be impossible for me to ever complete the "get 500 points using dark weapons btw dont ever die" bounty.

 

[chugen]

got it in a purple engram while farming on earth.

"Oh, let me take that legendary engram and decrypt it... Geez, what bad luck guardian, another rare." Dude prolly has piles of legendary and exotics under his table.

He's in cahoots with Xur. The Cryptarch takes our purps and yellows and gives us trash, then Xur sells our own stuff back to us.

 

[todd360]

"Oh, let me take that legendary engram and decrypt it... Geez, what bad luck guardian, another rare." Dude prolly has piles of legendary and exotics under his table.

I'm convinced that he and xur are working together for mass profit.
