Very true, people are never prepared for the Jebus Resurrection in PVP. Shits hilarious.

Throw a solar grenade and spam melee and mop up any others with your weapon xD

Edit: What's also funny is even when rezzing right in front of them after they have killed you, in my experience they utterly panic and just look at you LOL.

Is there a reason why loads of titans are going New Monarchy?

I thought Dead Orbit looked better...

I like fwc for the snipe ammo boost on the body armor. On the higher difficulty I need maximum snipe powah. I plan on unlocking all of them eventually.
 
God there is so much to this game I don't understand. Need to read a Wiki, only just discovered I can swap in Spinmetal for Vanguard points.

Is there any fast way to get a load of Crucible points? I mean I play matches all the time, but you can only have 6 bounties active at once.
 
WooHoo! Finally felt well enough to play for an hour or so last night and after choosing the wrong weapon when offered at first i found a Hand Cannon and OH MY WORD. What a difference it makes. BLAMMO!

I've finally found a sensitivity level i feel i can work with too so i'm looking forward to putting a few hours in tonight. Warlocks are made of glass though, blimey, pop out, shoot a few things and then dive back into cover before the return fire shreds me. I'm only a low level so i'm hoping to have some survivability when i get better kit and some skill with the controller :)

I saw someone mention penalties for dying, wtf?! Why? Some of you are masochists i swear. No, penalties when you die don't encourage me to experiment with gameplay and skills but stick to the bland methods. Death Penalties would suck. Also Durability? When has that ever been a good thing?! Madness, Madness i say.

Now back to work while wishing i was back home :(

Be efficient. For example get the play 5 whatever pvp modes, kill 25 hunters and kill 25 titans or whatever going all at once. You'll probably finish all 3 at once.

Aye, I am on the grind to get the two grenade skill.
Also I find that the explosion melee works really damn well if people are together.

Basically my set up when I go all Solar Jesus in PvP; is jump around like a crazy rabbit (The third glide skill helps wit this) throwing down Hellfire from above. And if I land next to someone hit them and they usually explode killing the next person.

I have found my k/d is much higher now with the Jesus ability.

I just like the colours of FWC :D

Does have anyone have an general tips for leveling up beyond 20? I've been stuck on level 22 for ages due to having zero decent drops I'm still rocking a lot of level 18 armour :D

Are high level strikes the best to get drops, PVP or just general farming in patrol?

Thanks!

I switched to leveling my voidy last night, and hated it.

Probably just going to go for the other classes now, really must try and get the platinum.

I had a sunbro rezz infront of me, surprisingly I managed to win that melee encounter. (Probably because my teammates were raining blows aswell)
 
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.
Well I just meant for rares. I haven't had much luck coming across legendary gear, so I'm not too worried about it yet.

And how do you earn motes of light? It says just get xp, but I still only have 3 and I've been level 21 for a while now. Am I doing something wrong, or is the grind just that real?

This may be a criminal perspective and goes against the grain, but I actually think the drop rates are pretty decent (although, somewhat flawed). After all, we've only had the game for a little less than a week and expecting to be decked out with some amazing weapons/armor would be a total progression breaker in some ways.

However, I do feel that the lack of equipment variety does make the situation seem worse than it is. We only have a handful of different types of each weapon class, in my opinion. The smaller scale of loot just makes us run across each individual weapon more often, leading to frustration.

Are there any plans known that we will visit the city surrounding the tower? I've noticed some yet to be unlocked doors there. But I really want to go to the city!

Holy shit... you just made me realized that someone should totally make a Dark Souls Sunbros Clan in Destiny. It would be totally impractical but hilarious to see a Fireteam of 6 Sunbro Warlocks all with the ability to come back from the dead.
 
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!

So that's what it's called. Been in two separate matches where a Warlock self-resurrected themselves.

We're guardians mate. We're rich guys who are better than the scum that live in the city. Only the elite get to stay in the tower. Only the ones who fight for the darkness light get these privileges.

Just farmed for an hour on the Moon, got quite a few rare items and shit loads of uncommon which I kept discarding for space.

Also got 20,000 glimmer so time to spend it at the Cryptarch on engrams. I now have to wait about 2 hours for stock to refresh and hopefully their will be uncommon and rare items to buy. I might go and farm a bit more as I wait.

This will up my Cryptarch rank which I hope then the Postmaster should have some Legendary gear for me possibly up to 3 pieces.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I'm level 26 and haven't even seen a purple engram in PvE. Got three or four from the Crucible, tho.

Got 3 legendary engrams. One was a cloak I already have. One a shitty auto rifle and one a shitty helmet. As fun as it is to feel like a complete idiot I think i've had enough for one night.

So far I've had 5(!) legendary engrams. All reveled shoddy blues at best.

I also got an "Exotic Weapon Bounty", gave me a choice of 3, unclear choices, picked one that turned out to be some ludicrous PVP K/D ratio challenge, so dropped it to choose one of the others, only to find I can't. Sigh.

Can't say im enamored with the loot grind, its too vague and random.

Also, I'm looking for a few good men for raiding/weekly strike on XB1, I play UK evenings and am currently a SunLock

I could farm for 5 hours and not get 20k glimmer how do you do it

If you are a lvl 5 and you go pvp, could you still get legendary/exotic items? Or do you need to be lvl 20?

You blew it. That K/D one wasn't what you think it was. Just by playing two games normally I finished it.

The reward was the shotgun I posted earlier.

Bah, playing while on a Lemsip Flu High probably wasn't my best plan.

God only knows what I have to do to trigger it again :(

How in the name of Jesus are you guys leveling up? Just did 2 strikes (yet again) and got a bunch of greens and really really shitty blues. I just seem to be able to find anything I can use so I'm quite at a stand still on how to level to 25. The freaking yellow bar under my name hasn't moved since saturday for f's sake.
 
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.
Having a better K/D than 0,4 shouldnt be that diffucult. For example, if you have a 1.0 K/D and go live 15 kills and 15 deaths per game, thats 45 points per game - Thats only 12 games, no matter if you win or lose. Hardest part should be finding void damage weapons before doing this (i think Fusion rifles often comes with void damage)

Have you joined a faction or do you have a decent amount of vanguard rep?

I've pretty much given up on drops and PVP as I've been shafted too many times.

I'm now just gonna concentrate on doing patrol missions as you get +10 reputation for each one you do. If you can just stick to the kills missions (which only take 2-3 minutes) I reckon you can get to reputation level 2 in no time. Then just buy some legendary armor which should push you into 25 if not 26.

Maybe in Destiny 2.

The Reef has a hub world that we have yet to see.
