It's one of the few moments where "8/10 amazing" makes a little bit of sense.

Gotta ask, as a fellow Titan, how are you using your super in strikes and boss battles? Do you focus on minions while the rest of your team uses their big stuff on the boss? That's pretty much how I've played both striker and defender because otherwise its damn near suicide.
Its also the prime reason I started a hunter, so I could actually use my powers to help take down bosses.

The more I play the more I see how legitimate of an MMO the game is. Warts and all. It feels so similar to my experiences with WoW.
It definitely is not as open ended as WoW, but the areas are big enough to get lost in.

I've been busy as hell and haven't played since hitting 20 on Monday. Looking forward to firing it up tonight and digging into the post-game stuff.

It's because it tells a shitty story, terrible social system(no voice chat/no trading etc), terrible mission designs, terrible bulletsponge bosses, worlds feel empty, Everything is a grind, and unsatisfactory loot system.
That is why.
I got one at 24. It's just random like everything else.
Outside of bounties, the easiest thing to do is just grind patrols for +10 rep. Strikes don't give out enough rep to be worth the time investment.

How do you get to this screen from the app? Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm using the Android app
I didn't know I was that good!I found the Leaderboards...
Looking good so far, but I got some work to do for single game kills.

Good GOD I need to do Nightfall....
Bounties, 50 or 100 rep. Some are far easier than others.
Patrols. U get 10 for most of them but they only take a few minutes to do. Certain ones get u 25.
Also, do the weekly strike or whatever the ond is that gets u 150 rep.
Buy green garbage from the cryptarch to level him up and get a care package that might yield you legendary engrams.

Dead Orbit has gear for punching and grenade throwing, but is weak at supers. They're in the section to your right on spawn at the tower.
You have to buy and wear their warlock band and then do strike missions, crucible matches, and bounties to level them up to rank 2 with them before you could buy anything worthwhile. Bounties is where it'll rank up the fastest.
Hey guys, is there any other requirements on the Public events other than being at a location at the right time? Because twice last night I was where a public event should spawn/start only to have no event start.
Also, is there a way to predict those enemies gathering fights where the enemies suddenly level up?

Take care of whatever PvE bounties are up today, then go hit patrol missions on Mars. The best mission loop is going between Hollows and Freehold. Loot all chests and Relic Iron while you're killing stuff. Turn in excess Relic Iron to weapons vendor when you're done.
Ammunition packs. Get some for special and heavy weapons. Good for higher level stuff where u burn through it faster.

Anyone down for either the weekly nightfall or heroic strike on PS4?

So is it weird that I actually enjoy the grind? I also enjoy the RNG bits, now my luck has been better than some and worse than others, but still.
I like that, if need be, you alone can bring your character up to a pretty high level. Sure it might take a couple weeks if you're a busy person, but if your schedule is weird or life has other commitments this mechanic allows you to see progress of some sort on your character every day (even if it's just some marks or rep). I wouldn't want or suggest doing it all alone but I like that there are avenues for it. I also like that while working towards these very attainable goals you can find engrams which might cap a day off with something really cool.
I wont sit here and say the game and all of its systems are perfect, but I find it damn fun. Bungie has put a reasonable path to progress your character in not a lot of time.
I just feel like the drops=progression mindset is not how the game intends you to advance your character. Not a single legendary engram I have received has contributed to my Warlock's 26 levels. To each their own, but I see people sitting at that stupid cave for hours for nothing. Meanwhile I'm jumping around doing all kinds of different things, having a great time and I'm able to make progress. As has been said, there's no luck involved to get your emblems.

Good luck with that. I'm dropping my Hunter off at the nearest Guardian retirement home when it comes to high level strikes and Raids.
I find the supers completely useless against bosses.

Hmm, I can't even figure out how to get to it from there, lol.

Guys what's the best way to get Legendary equipment? I think I must have spent around almost four hours doing the hive gate entrance on the moon mission via level 9 hard and only got to 21/22 with all blue gear with some Strange Coins and few blue drops/a lot of greens!
Just keep at it?

Sounds good I need to eventually do one. I need a better chest/helmet so hopefully I get one.

If you want to feel useless, run around with a shotgun and a melee-ranged ground-pound.
Every last boss in the game has a fuck-you-for-playing-a-melee-class move and they don't even have to look your way to use it.

Congrats! Hopefully the Cryptarch doesn't decrypt your purple offer engram to blue. May the RNG be ever in your favor!

Thought I needed one more bounty to complete for Vanguard level 3. Nope, I'm just one freaking point shy of leveling up.
Alright, just need to do one patrol.
I am up for trying it. Have not been yet. Am lvl 26

Did you kill someone close range and catch it right away? This happens sometimes if you are really close the enemy you killed.

There a way for you to check all your bonuses?
Ok, done.
Think that's gonna take a lot more than 10k lol. He goes up like +5 to +25 at a time as I've already got him to rank 3. Hopefully he'll have some uncommons at the stock refresh, they work better
I like this one.

You should be farming vanguard, faction, or crucible rep. Forget about countless hours of mob farming, you're going to burn yourself out and resent the game.

crucible needs changes, like the auto rifle, it has too much power, if anyone appears behind, you have no chances...
i think we need a pvp like halo, where tactics own luck

It's a b***h, I've been holding off on doing it since I don't really like hand cannons, plus I got my first exotic last night and I want to level it up. I tried it solo, took me a while to get past the first section, when they say heavily shielded they mean it. Put an entire clip into an enemy and didn't even scratch that shield. You will need to do ark and solar damage depending on the enemy to break the shield first.
Edit: This is it.

Got this from a legendary engram just now. That magazine size.
The magazine size is due to the rate of fire though. You'll burn through that entire magazine quick. I have an AR that has max fire rate (just a rare) and it also has a large magazine. It's a good medium distance weapon. Worthless at long range due to recoil/low impact.

I found a green shingen-c with a ton of stability and near top fire rate, it's a lazer gun in PvP I love it, best thing though is the upgrade includes stability the more I shoot it.
