The Hushwind can be good but I can't roll with it consistently. The recoil is wild and the damage per shot is very low - making it hard to win 1 v 1s on a level playing field. You have to have the drop on everyone. The range is terrible too.
I'm not saying its bad, but I don't touch the thing.
Edit: thinking of that 67 clip rare AR my bad lol. Hushwind is legit
I bounced between the Rocket Yards / Divide in the Cosmodrome. I can solo the Devil Walker public event, so that gave me 4 marks every 30 minutes. I got lucky when an Eliminate the Target spawned in Rocket Yards and it was a Hive target that didn't have a shield. Eliminated him as well, 4 more marks.
The Public Events also give Ascendants / chances at other stuff.
At this point I've memorized every location / resource the bounties there want so even the collect x stuff or scout I did as well since I could just Sparrow over.
Oh and one more thing.
The copious amount of Spinsilver from chests / spawning, I have Rank 3 for Cosmodrome as of tonight which means increased resource harvesting, and when you turn in 50 that's 250 rep + 5 marks?
Yeah, the risk / reward is fucked for Strikes. Anyone doing them better be doing them in hopes of drops, otherwise they're doing it wrong.

Oh I get it now.
I haven't gotten a legendary engram yet, but they're basically cover tokens from Marvel Puzzle Quest! Like, your odds of better stuff are increased (Heroic Token or Event Specific) but it's not a guarantee.
My months with that game will have prepared me for this disappointment.

Hey back up, please tell me what you're getting at. Are you saying it's more efficient to get rep and marks by doing Earth patrol? I was thinking the same thing but never sat down to focus on it. What sort of methods do you have, if any?

Ok I beat story mode... and I am level 19... and I have no idea what the story was about... is there anywhere to read a good detailed summary of what the story was supposed to be about?
Is there any point to continue playing? Or is it just a frustrating attempt at loot collection because of very low probability pseudo-random dice rolls allowing you to get the best loot?

Well I'm already maxed on marks until the reset tomorrow, but good call on turning in the spinmetal for rep too since it spawns frequently still. And yeah I solo'd devil walker yesterday too. Time to get on it, rank 2 awaits lol.

I received an AR rifle in the crucible as a reward and it can tussle with the Shingen. It's a workhorse; below are stat comparisons - my bad though it's from the mobile app as I'm at work right now. The stats for each are compared to my currently equipped scout rifle.
Hushwind has significantly higher attack (does not matter for normal crucible pvp however)
They both have the same rate of fire.
They both have the same impact.
Hushwind has better range.
Shingen has better stablility, but I can tell you the Hushwind's recoil is negligible.
Hushwind has faster reload.
Shingen has 2 extra bullets in clip.
What app is that?
Any of the more serious PvP bros ITT averaging over a 3.0 KD?
If so whats your go-to game type?
Dont get the hate for the competitive multiplayer in this game, i'm someone who grew up on multiplayer shooters but i'm also someone who never loved Halo much - and for some reason i adore the crucible in this game, for whatever reason it just works for me.
certainly enjoying it tons more than any recent COD iteration.

Two things -
1) The title of this OT couldn't be any more spot-on.
2) The blade dancer super is awesome. I finally hit lvl 15 yesterday after dealing with real-life stuff for the past week and barely having any time to play. Totally worth it.

If you don't feel like getting better gear or doing PvP, then you're done!

Damn, stuck at work again and all I want to do is grind strikes. I managed to just squeeze to 21 before the end of the weekend, though. So I feel ok about that.
look what just dropped...
Question #2627892 in an occasional series by me: How did you get it? what were you doing ? and do you realize how much I hate you right now?

I'm lvl 24 (about to hit 25) and absolutely everything I have after lvl 20 is from pvp and pvp alone. I'm just going to pretend that pve doesn't exist until they fix this shit.

Holy crap, I just got four rewards after a PVP match, three blue engrams and the Achilles shader - I thought you could only receive two max? Anyway, got some pretty decent rares: a Shingen-E and Galahad-E from them and some shitty green Axion coven lol, I swear every green armour is a fucking Axiom variant.
Still no Legendary or Exotic drops 
Not sure if you got a reply yet, did you check the special orders desk? I got the digital guardian edition and the pre-order bonus items are available from there for under 50 glimmer.
Yes.
Essentially everything you quoted
. Wander around where you can run for chests / spinsilver. Kill everything that moves in-between chests / spinsilver. Do every Public Event that you can that spawns for 4 marks + Ascendants / other stuff.50 Spinsilver = 250 rep + 5 Vanguard Marks. You get 1-2 spinsilver from chests, usually, plus as you kill more it boosts your haul from Spinsilver nodes as well. Like I said I'm almost to Rank 3 for Cosmodrome which means more good Spinsilver goodness.
Doesn't have to be Earth, either. Soul Bloom spawns all over the g-damn place on Venus, can do that to, but I don't know where the chests are there.

I feel like I don't have enough armor for a Titan my level. I'm light level 21 and have just shy of 700 defense, with a set of fully upgraded Knight armor. I'm seeing a lot of people, not even Titans, with much higher. Hmm.
I'm near 2.0 (I'd be well over if I didn't test weapons in PvP or if I hadn't chose to level my blade dancer almost entirely in PvP from barebones up)
If you have any map awareness at all, you can dominate Control in the same way you would a game of domination in COD. Skirmish is typically cake mode too.

Strike lv24 (Vanguard Wolf) in Mars, in a purple enagram dropped by an enemy.
Yes.

This is great! I'll check this out. I used to farm the rocketyards back in the beta. Did it somewhat in the release too, but never seriously enough. What's funny is I got a legendary engram from a chest here too.
I know what I'm doing when I get off work!
Yep, I'm enjoying the game, but god damn, there's some extremely questionable design choices Bungie made with this game.
Yep lol. So frustrating because it's pretty damn close to being amazing. The baffling decisions add up though.

The same weapon can have different stats and upgrades though. Compare that to my fully upgraded Shingen-E:

Wow. I'm pretty insular. I saw the flavor text and thought "Spanish flavor text! Awesome Bungie. I wonder what secret it's pointing to?"

Dat Stability.
PS4 system updates is jealous.

It is a screenshot from Bungie.net which is a slightly different layout to the game itself.
His level (including light) is 27 (in the top left)
I don't even decode anymore, just throw 'em in the fire.

LOL good one.
Idk I feel like I'm just getting garbage compared to you all, what are you doing right that I'm doing so wrong :'( Bungie pls
YES.
Finally got a legendary from an engram I can actually use. Logged on and spent about 10k glimmer to get my cryptarch to the next level (7). Got 2 legendary engrams one of which gave me some rare boots and the other the "Strange Suspect" pulse rifle. I don't really like pulse rifles all that much but at this point idc... Just glad to have a legendary weapon.

Are you guys farming in this game? I see on Reddit there are like a thousand different areas to farm and none of them are too ideal.
Should I just stick to what Bungie intended and play a lot of crucible and strike playlists (as well as the dailies and weekly missions and constant bounties)?

Damn, man! Watching your enthusiasm for the game wane has been like seeing Robert DeNiro's love of acting disappear. Your posts now are like the commercial for Limitless lol
Feels sad, man.
Oh, well, see you in Horizon!

Agreed, but if you them both fully upgraded I believe you will find they are very close in stats, one edging out the other in either range or stability. Even your fully upgraded Shingen has less attack than the Hushwind in the pic, and the Huswind isn't fully upgraded.
My point was the Hushwind is a legit alternative to the Shingen, and it is.

Do all legendaries require level 20 to use?
I don't want to get a legendary, waste materials leveling it up, and then get the same legendary but at a higher level.

so, the latter?
I couldn't do it. Had to lower it back down, I think the default is 3, I'm now at 5 and it feels good.
