Feel like making a Hunter today... but I'm so far ahead with my Warlock. Dunno what to do, some of my friends seem not to sleep and I do not wish to be left behind Lv wise lol.

I think this week I'm going to start levelling my first alt (still going for that Destiny Platinum). I'll still max out my crucible and vanguard weeklies and do the weekly heroic on my main (Hunter), but yeah I don't see the point in farming on my main when I could better spend that time levelling an alt.

Can't decide between going for a Defender Titan or a Sunsinger Warlock.

Wow, didn't thought I played that much in less than a week.

I have about 35 hours at the moment, now I don't feel as bad

 

[Pop]

I'm about to make a Warlock strictly for PvP.

 

[Noisepurge]

18 hours on Patrol? ...jesus

 

[teokrazia]

Oh, well, PvP is starting to click me, especially 3vs3 playlists. So much Halo-like.

 

[Karak]

Same here. And I got a bunch of rare engrams from a lvl 22 vanguard strike (i'm level 24) and they all were for level 18. I hate my life.

Ya its odd but it does seem to be random mixed with...fucking fate or something hahaha.

Sunsinger is fucking amazing, nothing beats resurrecting yourself to kill the fool(s) who did you over.

Edit: That skill is also invealuable for high level strikes, when your guys are down and it's game over if you have a Super... well now you can save the day!

 

[jiiikoo]

It's totally random. Oh well, guess I'm off to strikes again. Fingers crossed i'd get atleast something lol.

 

[kittens]

Pulse rifles are viable, I've been using the Stranger's Rifle in PvP and come out in the top 3 consistently. Pulse rifle bursts are more accurate and have minimal spread, so aiming for the head typically results in a lot of damage. I've duked it out with plenty of AR users with my PR and have been fine.

Yup, that was my main gun until I happened across an exotic AR.

 

[Klyka]

sigh, I really want to like the PvP but the tiny FOV coupled with me only playing FPS with keyboard and mouse is just.....it's raining me.

I guess I just need to slog through it and get better.

Sigh.

 

[WITHE1982]

Just got these legendary gauntlets from a blue engram at the Crucible



Crucible still the best way to get good loot

Not that I want to disagree with you as I'm sure you're right but I played 26 matches back to back last night and only got 1 legendary engram which turned out to be bloody resources and no weapon/armor.

The loot in this game is driving me crazy. In the 5 hours I played I took screenshots 4 times of lower level players (level 20 and 21) getting some sweet exotic weapons gifted despite only getting 6 or 7 kills with a K/D of 0.4. It's so bastard infuriating.

 

[UnluckyKate]

How do you access a vault ? For example Charlemagne vault in the Dust Palace ?

 

[raindoc]

Level 26 and I only got 2 purple items, one of them bought at an in-game vendor.
When I find a Legendary Engram, it usually ends up being a blue item, strange coin, etc.
When I unlocked a "Exotic Weapon Bounty" I was giggling like mad. Dud the Strike, killed 500 Hive... now I've got to gain 500 "void-damage-points" in PvP. +5 for each Void-kill, -2 for each time I'll die.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ooo that's a good point. I'll jump on a Sunsinger Warlock first then! Titan can come later

I'm back at work this week though so I won't have as much time to play

 

[Chums Knifeblade]

uhhh wtf...do those abilities apply to the crucible?

I'll find out tomorrow, too sleepy now to find out, I hope so though...

How far through the skill tree is the revive upgrade?

 

[Marvel]

Second to last skill you unlock. So takes a while.

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Was blessed tonight with the awareness of the Sunsinger's masterclass..ness. I waited until I had maxed Voidwalker before I started it, but that was clearly a mistake cause I'm never gonna use it again.

It should be renamed the Super Saiyan.

 

[Ken]

Almost done with my Sunsinger; just one more skill to unlock and then I'll try Voidwalker.

 

[TheAznOne]

Jeez I just saw a Level 30 in Venus patrol.

 

[WITHE1982]

Dayum.

At the minute I'm just using my voidwalker then switching over just before the end of a match/level or when turning in bounties to put the XP on my sunsinger.

I think I'm on about 8 skills unlocked so far so lots of grinding to go.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

I love the stats in this game!!

18 hours on Patrol? ...jesus

I spent almost half of my play time in Patrol

 

[RalchAC]

I hadn't played a competitive shooter actively since MW2. I'm terrible lol, but when I'm not complaining it's fun.

I'm having some problems quoth my connection today (not in pve though). If I'm able to correct them we could have some PvP together.

I'm just level 9 though. Destiny = GAF = PSN. I usually play in the morning on week days (Europe, Spain)

 

[kittens]

That's funny -- I've spent two hours in it at the most. I'm a PvP first, Strikes second, Patrol almost never kinda guy.

 

[SighFight]

Wow, didn't thought I played that much in less than a week.

Assuming a 40 hours/week work time this exceeds it by more than 50% and combined it would leave only about 8 hours a day for sleeping. Nothing inbetween :0 .....

I suck at PvP so maybe that's why lol..

I'd love to be able to do more but it frustrates the hell out of me when I'm almost always the last and I drag my team down because of how many times I get killed!

Looks like we have the same bounty. Guess I'll be spending time in Rumble when I reach the third part

 

[gatti-man]

K, thanks man. I reached the cap also.



22? you'll be destroyed.

I was Lv 24 when did it (was rough) with two Lv 25 buddies. GL though.

I did it this week with a lvl 21 and 22. I was lvl 25 though so bubble shield saved the day pretty often.

Only wiped one time too

 

[Spiders]

Sunsinger sounds pretty awesome. I'll definitely switch to that when I've maxed out voidwalker.

Bubble shield is a life saver, wish there were mote Titans like you who used it in strikes.

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Cryptarch level 8, given him probably close to 20 legendary engrams by now, received zero legendary items. None from strikes or crucible either. Just about over this, the drop rate is so terrible.

It's just, put this on PC, give me a keyboard and mouse I definitely would not have a fucking less than 1 KDR.

I know what to do, I know when to do it, I even know how to react but I CAN'T DO ANYTHING cause I'm playing with a controller. ARGH it's so damn infuriating.

It's like driving a bike all your life and suddenly you get put in a unicycle race and they go "here you will now ride this unicycle you have never ridden before against all these accomplished unicyclists who have been doing it for years"

UGH. And I refuse to buy a XIM and just demolish people cause it's unfair as fuck.

Guys I'm just gonna be a dick and idle in crucible. I'm tired of my brain going numb from doing meaningless tasks. I'll give a write up of my progress.

O-O (this is my owl face).

 

[Ken]

The more Titans I see the more I wish I made that my main.

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

I had a curious random on my team today. He was a level 26 titan and had a Raku Crucible type helm

Now how the flippin flip does one manage to get more than a hundred crucible marks in a week!

 

[gatti-man]

Jeez I just saw a Level 30 in Venus patrol.

Bungie employee? I don't see how someone could be 30 already otgerwise. So much grinding.

A gaffer earlier posted about getting faction items from engrams so that's probably how.

With how RNG engrams are one could be level 30 in 30 minutes if the RNG gods smiled upon them.

You can get any of the crucible, vanguard and faction gear from rare/legendary engrams.

I'm at work gaf...

I haven't got my vita gaf....

This is the first time I will be spending my hours doing something other than playing destiny.

I also forgot my cigarettes and bank card today :\ today is gonna be AWESOME!

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Can you buy upgrade materials? Or do you have to dismantle gear?

Though I suppose you could just buy gear and dismantle it. I'm super poor though and don't know how to make money.

 

[gatti-man]

It's not very fun to play defender in pvp but for pve it's very powerful. I've almost maxed both trees. I love seeing all those light orbs disperse when the bubble shield takes damage. Hunters and warlocks start going ape shit with specials. Turns the tide so fast.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

My hope is that I can grind a purple helmet tomorrow and hit level 27 or this will have to be good enough for raid action.

That would crush my spirit... The +5 isn't that bad but -2 for each death could drag this one out for quite a while.

Ah! That makes sense. must have crazy luck. My legendary engrams only give me blues. :-\

Marvel...you're making me want to go Sunsinger... my Voidy is on my other shoulder telling me I'm crazy in no uncertain terms....

Though I suppose you could just buy gear and dismantle it. I'm super poor though and don't know how to make money.

End game upgrade mats are the mats you find on the planets like the relic ore on mars. Or even worse the special material whatever it's called legendaries require yo level up.

That would crush my spirit... The +5 isn't that bad but -2 for each death could drag this one out for quite a while.

I average about a 1.2 kdr. I was terrible when the game started so my average is still a little low. It's much higher with friends but I'm usually pugging it. Just blast through. Even at a 1.0 kdr that's still only like 10-20 matches to get it done.

That skill is how I usually end up getting like 4 kills in a row. It seems not many people are prepared for it and in Capture you can net yourself some kills especially if you are fast enough with your grenades.
