Anyone wanna do the level 26 Heroic strike?
I realized that I may have screwed myself in the short term by choosing a Faction right off the bat.
I can only buy their items with Crucible marks, once a week -- but if I ignored the factions at this point I'd be able to buy a piece of gear from the Crucible handler and the Vanguard handler.
Even though their stats are not what I want in the end, at this point just getting Light levels matters a lot more to be able to participate in higher level events.
Oh well.

I found that ship in a chest. I thought it was ugly, so I scrapped it to see if it gave me glimmer. It doesn't give anything.
People complain about the game because some of problems are so dumb that it's hard to why they are in the game.

A lot of the Grimoire cards have levels (that's what those lower screen notifications are all about, upping a Grimoire Card's rank).
They're very very slow to build, and the rewards aren't like jawdropping, but it's still a bar moving from left to right, so it's good by me.
;D
Good, are you cool with 5pm PDT/8PM EDT?
Shoot me a PM. It'll make things A LOT easier to organize.
When that happens, set your fire team to invite only so any drops are yours.

Hold on, blueprints? Where do those come from?
From Bounties? Nice. I got a ship blueprint from a chest last night. Didn't know you could get them from Bounties.
11 more Vanguard Marks, 12 more Crucible Marks to cap. Ugh.
Ascendant thingamajigs seem to fall fairly regularly from Public Events.
That would be a HUGE quality of life change. A positive one at that. Going into the weekly heroic for the first time yesterday was a rude shock. Bring Arc weapons next time I guess.
I dread this because I don't see myself getting into a Raid anytime soon. No in-game guilds/clans, stuck at Light level 23 (almost 24!)...I dunno, the whole thing is a major turn-off due to the difficulty of getting into it.
Combined with the fact that getting pulverized in PvP by the inevitable Raid ugprades is probably going to piss me off. Can't wait for Iron Banner.
Same. I'll probably play ~95% crucible at this point, but I planned on that anyway after playing the alpha/beta. I just really like the way it plays. I also don't mind the randomness of getting new/better gear, or having to wait weeks to accumulate enough marks, etc. to buy better gear. Coming from playing a lot of BF / COD, I'm used to playing for X amount of hours, getting the best gear that suits my playstyle, then using that 99% of the time until the next game comes out. So I find his formula with an element of randomness to be a cool change of pace.

Out of curiosity, has anyone who thinks they were shortchanged ended up playing under 15 hours in the first week?
Not trying to be snide, I swear.
Impact is huge.
I need a Shingen-E for pvp
Someone said it was at the gunsmith then I realised I was 20 pages behind...
There's a blue one there at the moment for me. I'm level 14 and I need to be lvl 16 for it. Still going to get it for when I'm levelled enough. Stock changes in ~36 mins though.

I love them for exactly this reason. And I haven't set foot on Mars yet!!

People say that PvP is completely random in regards to loot drops but I don't think this is true. I think they are weighted towards the players at the bottom.
Yesterday I watched several players at the bottom of the table, constantly dragging down the team get rewarded with legendary engrams. Meanwhile I was working my ass off for the team getting top. I'm the one that gets absolutely nothing. I have to say, if this happens once, twice or even a few times it's ok, but for it to happen pretty much every time I play? It's quite infuriating and demoralising. Also my last game if the day I did really bad and was at the bottom of the table. That time I got a legendary (which turned out to be a crap blue handgun). I think bungie really needs to reward the people at the top with more XP or at least something like that.
And to someone asking about loot chests, it's usually around 50 glimmer and one or two materials from wherever you get the chest. You also get some green items from time to time. Howver, very rarely you do get other things like blue engrams and/or ship blueprints. Honestly I got much better stuff from loot chest farming then from golden loot chests.

Pretty happy with my Titan so far. once I get my legendary helmet on Tuesday or Wednesday I will be even happier.
How did you get a level that high and that many Legendaries/exotics?
This is so dumb to say.

I didn't know they added more players if some dropped. They really need to explain what's going on better in game.
ah thanks. Did not know that.
Another question that may been answered already but this thread is moving so fast - level 23 at the moment and want to be able to participate in the raid starting tomorrow - where's the best place for me to level up?
Has anyone raised their sensitivity level? the default level feels a little slow, which makes it easy to aim for head shots, but a bitch for CQC. i feel like i can't turn around fast enough when im in crucible. I raised mine to 6. I'm thinking about going back to default tho. seems aim is more important than mobility in this game.

Had to watch that a couple times before I realised that I actually did hit with the knife. And that's the infamous Shingen-E in action, btw.
I have. I'm usualy 4, 5, or 6. 3 is awful for me.

I went in at level 20. Got my face melted off quite a few times.
Yeah...earlier in this thread, people were suggesting to jump into a faction immediately. I looked at the vendors, then the Vanguard / Crucible vendors, and scratched my head in confusion. Unless there's a specific item you want omg bad (and there might be key stat differences I am missing), it seemed like a no brainer to raise Vanguard / Crucible first since you get access to two separate vendors. Focus on the factions later (especially as ALL rep, Crucible or Vanguard, go to that).

If sucking gave more loot, people would just afk the whole match.

87? WTF
Played for a little over 7 hours yesterday and had to stop around 1230am. Game is quite good, though I totally get the repetition complaints.
Made it to level 11 which is small potatoes for like 99% of you. If anyone wants to play later on this evening from 6PM EST onward hit me up. There are two little underground places I found on Earth that house some dudes with question marks for their level and gold health bars. My weapons wont do jack so having some high level buddies with me would help!

It's cool with me.

Dat spay and pray. That's awesome dude.
Also, how'd you make a gif? I'd like to do that with videos I have on my PS4.
As someone who is thoroughly hating this game and powering through it for the sake of friends/writing something on the game, you shouldn't pay any mind to people disliking a game you like.
You're having fun, you're having a good time, and to be fair there are people in this thread having a good time with the game. Gotta look at it in a positive way, besides you can't tell the heart what it wants.
I got my vanguard and dead orbit ranks to 2 and bought the chest / boots. I got the exotic from xur. The hand cannon and legendary shotgun you cant see there I got from drops.

A few things about that image seem off...
But you can get said legendaries by either buying from the faction people and/or random drops. And the Xur guy was selling those exotic gauntlets.

Very nice. Just to be a creepy ass stalker I checked out your bungie account and noticed you've hardly touched the PVP. Were your legendary's gotten from vendors in the tower or from strikes?

If that person is anything like me, then it's a bit of luck. I actually received two of my legendaries from legendary engrams. And the exotic I bought from Xur. Mind you, I've been playing the game a lot, with my time almost evenly split between Story, Strikes, and PvP.
I have gotten a few legendary armors for other classes. when you break them down they give 3 ascendant shards which I used to upgrade my chest plates light level.

I know the Patrols get a decent amount of hate, but I like them. I'm getting a feel for what the icons mean, so I'll pick up one that has me go to a certain location (scout or priority target), then farm that area. While farming I'll grab any shoot things patrol (shards or need more bullets). Then I'll get another go to another location patrol on the way out. The scout patrols are helping me learn the maps, kind of like the taxi missions in GTA.

Honestly I'm just tempted to do that... Watching the people who drag down the team get the good stuff is pretty bad.
Yay, I'm in the level 24 group. Soon to be level 25 I hope.
Shoot, if I can get both my Vanguard and Crucible reps up, I may be 26.
mostly from the vendors. dead orbit and vanguard. Feel free to shoot me a friend request on PSN my id is figpc I am always open to play.

Level 24 Warlock. Legendary Scount Rifle.
Just some thoughts:
- I've tried the popular farming methods and haven't gotten anywhere near good loot from them. One 10-15 minute crucible match (whether my team wins or loses) nets me much better loot than a half hour of farming in those spots that are out there.
- I wish the crucible was more competitive. I'm a very very competitive FPS player, I strive to have the highest K/D and be the best I can in every game. Not this game. Its just so corny. You can't take this multiplayer seriously. So it turns into me just aimlessly walking around and trying to use my legend. scout rifle (which blows in PvP) to try and get its upgrades up.
- I agree, raid boses are extremely boring. I pray everytime for the Devil's Lair because at least it takes some strategy and positioning to beat it, not "shoot this thing for a half hour."
