Where can I find this for myself?
That's basically what Bladedancer is though. When we aren't cutting a whole enemy team to shreds we have 3 different ways to turn invisible for a little bit and even a backstab modifier on our melee. So we're basically rogues.
Haven't really tried actually sneaking through a level though. It could be done because the enemy actually does have to use line of sight to see where you are. If you drop out of sight they keep shooting where they saw you last.
Where do you go to see this?

30% legendary engrams give a legendary? I'm calling complete and utter bullshit on that.Reddit decrypted hundreds of Engrams and collected some stats:
I'm past 12 legendary engrams in a row where the best I've gotten is a strange coin and that was just once. Everything I've gotten has been blues and greens except for the very first purple I ever got that was chest armor for titan class (i'm warlock).
Some people's percentages seem to be much higher. I'm 25 now and i've never even sniffed an exotic except for what xur had and that shit doesn't count.
Check out the Grimore cards. I mentioned this a few pages back.

I like the sound of it in PvE... But in PvP.... uh, well it may be okay.
I was thinking of one where you can manipulate enemies in various ways, like making them a temporary minion that attacks their own group or something. I have no idea how'd that would work in PvP though.

idk, I'm kinda on the fence. But I come from alot of MMOs where everything you do is a roll of the dice, and it's possible that the roll you get penalizes you in some way or another. It's possible that I've got Stockholm Syndrome or something, but it's not too big of a deal for me. I do think getting greens from a purple legendary is extremely shitty and should be removed from the game, but blues? idk, I'm not sure the current percentages are tuned correctly, but I'm not convinced it should be 0 either.
And I *definitely* like the idea of getting something better than its color. Like decrypting a blue into a purple, or a purple into a yellow.
Lol
A lvl 15 auto rifle destroys my lvl 20 fully upgraded legendary scout rifle.
The pvp is unbalanced trash. Just absyml. Only doing it to get crucible ranking so i can get a helmet.

On the grimoire website. bungie.net. Go to grimoires -> activities -> strikes -> strike introduction to see the one for strikes. Then click on the thing at the bottom right that looks like a bar graph.
Where do you view them? I can't see. To find the right place in the Grimore on the app.
Edit: good timing. Thanks!
I really don't understand why the hell the grimoire isn't available in game.

Hand cannons and scout rifles will win in a 1v1 contest if you can head shot. Any more people and you're a goner.
between that and the engram stuff I think it's obvious they're sadists.

This week yeah, they said they'll be playing on other consoles on different weeks.

Just completed thorn exotic bounty, took about 4 hours. Pretty straight toward epic, longest was void dmg trial, but that's simple if you have friends to bring into rumble

Need some people for the weekly missions. Anyone up for it?

Two reasons I think:
1) They had to get the game out the door and didn't have the time or resources.
2) They want people to get people accustomed to using the web portal. This way they have no choice. They get used to it, it becomes part of the daily routine.
At the same time, I think they're currently integrating Grimoire and other stuff into the game as we speak and it will be released soon. By the time it does though, everyone has used the website enough to be familiar with it. If it's the other way around, nobody would ever use the website and it would never even have a chance to gain traction, even though honestly it's really good and useful. But only as a supplement to having the info available in game, not as a replacement. I don't think they even ever intended for the website to be a replacement for showing this information in game, they just haven't put it in *yet*.
Screw that, I will. Strange coins aren't exactly easy to farm so I have no problem sitting on them for another week.

Yeah, I stopped using scout rifles in PvP. If you don't land the first two headshots in a battle, you're fucked. Especially against ARs

I vote Dancer Class, with skill trees for breakdancing, metal headbanging, space ballet, lots of crotch-pumping, stuff like that. You could totally serve other guardians. Dinklebot could be a strobelight or led discoball.

Hey my first avatar quote!
Do you know how percentages and probability theory works?
You can't call bullshit on a 30% chance with a pathetically small sample of 12 engrams.
Yes, i cant even remain 2 minutes connected. Fix this shit Bungie.

Is there somewhere to see how man vanguard/crucible marks you've earned this week? There is a 100 mark limit per week, right?

The green and blue graph look almost identical. I guess we have about a 1/3 chance of actually getting a legendary from a purple engram.

It's the red circle surrounding the Vanguard and Crucible options when in Orbit.

Wow. Those Legendary Engram stats are shocking. I have no idea how someone would think that's a good idea. If you want purples to be rare, just make them drop less, not some roll of the dice nonsense that makes everyone hate you.
If they were trying to do something like TF2/Dota2 crates, they learned the wrong lessons.

For the crucible, it shows the counter on the crucible "planet" page you navigate to from orbit.

It's just like the soap they sell in Fight Club.
Thank you so much! I'll be hitting 26 when I get home in just a few hours, doing only exactly the things I talk about in that guide. I haven't even decrypted a legendary engram.
Did you see the tips and tricks post too?
I have. It rules.
This is a good way of summing up a lot of things I have said concisely.
The intended idea behind engrams is sound, it's just different than Diablo-style unided items. But they're presented... exactly like Diablo-style unided items.
What can I say, Bungie didn't ask me to playtest at endgame.
Click on Strike Playlist or Crucible Playlist and it's on the bottom left of your screen.
You can also guess it by the blue and red circle on the larger map; they fill up as you get marks.
I don't know why it takes so many screens to get such simple information.

When you are choosing your destination, look at the colored circle around the crucible and the vanguard strikes icons.
Not me. I'm planning to have two exotic helmets: one for my Defender and one for my Striker. It's going to take a lot for me to budge from doing this. Exotic weapons are a tossup with the only definite purchase being a Hawkmoon and a strong possibility being an auto rifle.

A better-than-1-in-3 chance at a legendary or exotic is so much better than I expected based on the number of reports... but RNG doesn't care about consistency I guess, just the individual roll.
When I've got 10 engrams stockpiled in the vault I'll pop 'em open and tell you guys what I get.
Remember, just rolling for better than rare on a legendary engram still doesn't guarantee you any Light progression.
Does leveling up the cryptarch do anything to that formula ???

Same. Getting booted a lot today.

No. Please somebody put this in the next OT: the Cryptarch level has no effect on the RNG.
TheTylerDurden
Member
Correct.
No. No impact whatsoever (that has been demonstrated, anyway).
Leveling up the cryptarch gets you... more engrams to decode! Spin that wheel ladies and gents.

Why is it poor design? Maybe they don't want you to just be 100% PvP? In any case, can't the gear you get in PvP earn you light levels?
