You're supposed to put yourself in danger to run after the heavy ammo when it spawns.

Lol

GG bungie.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

So what mode should i play to get better light equipment?

 

[ComputerMKII]

I've just got a 15-kill streak at the Crucible :O

It doesn't matter.

 

[Paertan]

3000 is the experience he needs for each level that is nowhere near the money you need to spend. Try like 10k+.

Ok. Well I have 14k so should be able to get one level at least. Will probably be 3 Mote of Light or something useful!
Any confirmed benefits of ranking him up other than the gifts at each level?

Seriously, wtf Bungie.

Not sure, but I'm hoping it ups the chance of getting a legendary.

Pretty much anything, since it's all just based on RNG.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

From the other day, annoyed with myself is putting it mildly.

I have him at like level 9 and so far he still just has garbage.

So once you've ranked up what rewards did you get from the postmaster? I watched in a video that every rank up will have a reward waiting.

 

[FloatingDivider]

So yeah I've probably played like 10 hours since my last post. Here's a status update on my progress: Nothing happened. Run strikes, get nothing, - Farm chests get nothing - Play crucible, get nothing. I'm stuck at light level 25 and it's so fucking annoying at this point, I just want to hit 26 to be ready for that raid but I'm burning out on this game because of the absolute garbage truck of a looting system. I have enough weapon parts to assemble a billion guns or something though! hurray for me. Also leveling up the cryptarch doesn't do shit to remedy this. I'm fairly sure that fucker could be at lvl 1000 and would still give me that sideways headshake while wrecking my loot.

As an avid MMO player, the issue here is that the potential gains from getting lucky drops are actually pretty high. I've got a few friends who got really lucky and are going to be able to try the Glass Vault out the first day it drops, but despite playing more than them I'm not going to be able to participate because my RNG didn't pan out.

I'm wondering how much longer I'm going to have to wait before I can participate in content they can because they got lucky. I know that I'm going to get some gear come next week when the marks reset and I can pick up my first piece with the currencies I've been farming, but that still won't catch me up to them.

The game is in it for the long haul, but random number generators can suddenly make it a short haul for a few people, regardless of how much effort they put into it. Seeing the bottom guy on the team snag a legendary engram when I haven't had the pleasure of receiving a single one feels as if my time is wasted; effort in this game doesn't translate directly into rewards as much as luck does.

I understand the frustration with your friends getting lucky drops. Just because a few people might get lucky (a few really IS a few) doesn't mean they should make it easier for everyone to get drops. If you have the worst luck in the world and just play the game normally you can still easily be rank 2 for your chosen rep and buy 3 legendary armor pieces in the second week of the game being out.

 

[Blue Ninja]

what patch?

The patch that fixes the game for those of us who can't play it, I think. It's supposed to come out today.

In the meantime, I'll just keep playing on this VPN. At least that works.

 

[Zomba13]

I've seen the light of the handcannon in Rumble.

11 shots, more than enough to kill anything that moves.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

In other news, turned my sensitivity up to 8 and enjoying the game much more.. I'm usually a default sensitivity guy... have I been missing out all these years on console?

I'm up to 6 now but i may go back to 5 or go up to 7. I'm sure i used to do this before but it's been years since i've played an FPS with a controller and i just can't remember. I'm getting quicker at getting up-to-speed from cold now though, which is nice.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Just got Plan C off nightfall. It was fun.

 

[VE3TRO]

Just got my legendary reward for reaching rank 4 on Cryptarch and its a fucking Uncommon machine gun.

Man I can't get fuck all, even the armour I get is either Uncommon or Rare but lower light and defense so it's no use in having. Only Legendary item I have it a Titan Mark.

8 minutes until the stock refreshes, better have some decent gear. >_>

 

[Matush]

Anyone else is getting messages that servers are not avalible?

 

[Zomba13]

I usually turn it up, I did in the beta, but I'm finding things better for me at default oddly enough.

 

[Xater]

So once you've ranked up what rewards did you get from the postmaster? I watched in a video that every rank up will have a reward waiting.

Blue and purple engrams but like I said none of those have been working out for me.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Catching up to the thread, while I have real life issues, I get, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I left of at Page 24 (100ppp) now we at 37, I fast read through posts all the way to now

We are on constant endless loop of questions that keep getting repeated an answered, yet brought up many times again

6 sensitivity is my sweet spot.

 

[Skele7on]

what rank is everyone on the engram decryption?

I'm nearly level 8... What is the max rank btw?

Also did crucible and vanguard points reset today?

I am at work, le sigh...

 

[TommyTosser]

I really hope they increase the fireteam size for the campaign missions etc. I know there's only 3 classes but maybe the more people you have the difficulty should increase.

3 is such a bizarre choice.

 

[Unstable]

I'm half way through rank 13. I have no Idea what the max rank is, I'd guess it's 20. Purely because that's the player level cap, but I honestly don't know. It's either going to be level 20 or something crazy like 50 or 100.

Mines Rank 4, Tuesday it resets, checking Bungie.net it says reset happens in 22 hours, which doesn't look right

 

[UglyPony]

People should consider holding on to legendary engrams. Maybe they will patch increase the chance for a legendary next patch. Whenever that might be. You have more chance getting purple from a blue then getting purple from a purple engram.

I'm Level 4

 

[VE3TRO]

Wow finally, got some better gauntlets and it jumped me tp from level 22 to nearly 24.

 

[Unknown One]

Silly me, the reason why I thought that I was getting weaker light armor was because my gear is leveled up. I threw away so many that was below by 1 light. Oh well, I will soon have 2 more legendaries this week.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Salvage is only in weekends.

Bounties just refreshed with 2 salvage oriented bounties.

FFS Bungie.

This rapid succession of fuckups reminds me of Microsoft during the Xbox One reveal.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Welp at the moment going by Bungie Timer through the adviser we have 21 hours and 55 minutes to go

So everything Resets @4AM EST

 

[MistaPropella]

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 was on sick leave from last Tuesday to Friday.

 

[Spoo]

Hey, part of NA West clan but the Destiny website is giving me trouble on making a post so -- anyone here ~level 26 that wants to run Nightfall with me? I haven't done it yet, but I'm geared for it at least. PSN name is reeducator, and I'm jumping on in a few minutes for a couple hours, so look me up. (edit: PS4)

 

[theSlacker]

We all know this feeling, yeah?

When I saw him being happy about getting a purple from leveling up the cryptarc I knew how that was going to end. I've gotten like 10 from that and the only one that turned into a legendary gave me a warlock bond. One of the ones you can buy with glimmer.

 

[MistaPropella]

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!

Maybe we should play together, then we have nobody to drag down. I think I'm the absolute worst PvP Player on this side of the Galaxy.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Man, got booted from my game twice with some login error. So frustrating when you're in a story mission.

 

[sploatee]

Woo. Future War Cult

Edit: and then realise that if you wear an FWC bond you don't get any vanguard rep. I thought you could gain both at the same time. Grumble.

 

[Savantcore]

Can we like bombard Bungie's Twitter telling them to sort this shit out? #NoMoreBlues

They already know. The complaints have been rampant.

 

[Noisepurge]

I've just got a 15-kill streak at the Crucible :O

speaking of killstreaks, has anyone ever gotten the trophy for killing one player of each class in one life? i've gotten 10 kill streaks and never has it popped up. Just super-bad luck or is it glitched?

 

[MistaPropella]

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!

You poor Soul, I'm feeling with you.

 

[Kingbrave]

At first I didn't like pvp and it's starting to grow on me. It would help if I didn't suck.

I have the trophy, guess you've had bad luck.

nice. what kind of load out you using?

Auto-rifle, shotgun, melee, rocket launcher. I mostly use Shotgun + Melee, and switch to AR only when I have to. Ward of Dawn (the Defender Titan super, which is a bubble shield) and keeping an eye on the radar help a lot, by the way.

 

[Brianimaniac]

This game reminds me a lot of Too Human.

Nice I feel I am fairly high at the moment, but just wanting to see where others were.

Cool was worried it'd be 10 and I'd then miss out on the legendary packages....

Hoping to get a couple of those tonight, to make me raid ready for tomorrow...

Ah nice about the Vanguard points, I shall continue my grinding of spin metal I only need 30 points now.

I found a glitch btw

Okay dudes, so was doing the level 26 version of the weekly on devils lair.

on the devil walker I found out this.

Once you get out of the door and see it spawn stop at the door and put your back to the wall, if you do this it will not attack you and you can just beat it down with snipe and normal guns, luckily the guy I was with had a perk which gave us more ammo when we'd both ran out. BUT even if you don't have this you can run down pick up ammo and go back to the place and it will then kill you once, get revived by your team mate and then it will not attack again.

You're welcome.

It has to be a Triple kill. I got it last night by Nova Bombing a flag zone in Control. There were 5 players in the zone and luckily all 3 classes were present.
