Doctor Nope is the best gun name I have ever heard.

I'm still waiting for another PvP auto rifle nerf, needs to happen.

I feel like nerfing makes the game less fun, make the other guns more powerful and that will promote variety. Nerf the AR and the community will flock to the next best weapon. Bungie should buff other weapons and make them just as efficient.

So how does the whole clan stuff works exactly? I joined DestinGAF a while ago and now joined the Canada branch of the clan last weekend. Now I have the name on my emblem ingame but.. Thats it?

Is it supposed to do anything in game?

The Titan Striker is useless for high level PvE. That said, the Titan Defender is pretty garbage for PvE as well.

Best combo for PvE is seemingly two Warlocks with Sunsinger and one Defender.

Defender is amazing for pve.

When you unlock abilities that give players overshields whenever they walk through the ward, and generate orbs for various actions, they become outstanding team support.

This is what accepting the get 20 double fusion rifle kills bounty feels like

It's SO ANNOYING

I saw a tip on reddit that i've been using to make this bounty totally painless. You do the first moon mission, get to the part where the doors open and thralls run at you, then just unload into them, die, and it restarts you right there again, repeat. It takes like 3 mins.

Yeah pulse rifles in auto mode didn't work for me at all. It didn't feel right to hold the trigger down and still shoot in bursts. Tried another rare one and dismantled it.

Okay thanks, that makes sense.

But all I've seen is the Dead Orbit and FWC guy. Where is the "New Monarchy" vendor?

For those that completed the Nightfall strike, were you guys right at 25 when you entered? I haven't been lucky enough to get past 24 but I was going to try it tonight if I can. Seems pretty tough though. Any tips?

Ok, so since folks are already debating about Gunslinger vs Bladedancer, I think it's about time we all acknowledge the awesomeness of a Sunsinger Warlock.

1) They're good support and can help speed up cooldowns for the whole fireteam.

2) They get sticky grenades that home in on enemies/players.

3) They can throw two grenades.

4) They can stay in the air for a few seconds if aiming down sights.

5) They get a shield if they hit someone with their special melee attack.

6) They get a passive damage reduction skill when using their Super.

7) They can prolong their Super meter decreasing.

8) They can respawn using their Super.

9) They pump out blue orbs like nobodies business. Every kill made in Radiance makes orbs drop.

I'd add a 10th, but I'm not sure if there's a skill where Sunsingers spawn with a charged grenade.

EDIT: WAIT THERE IS A 10th!

10) In Radiance mode, your grenade cooldown is sped up. You can spam grenades. This + Sticky Grenades = Godly. It feels like you get placed in a Halo game and you hacked to get infinite Plasma Grenades that will follow people slightly.

It's soooo fucking easy now that I learned the trick to it. Like, takes 10-15 minutes tops.

Go the first moon mission on the easiest difficulty. Get to the part where you open the gate door. Shit ton of thrall rush out. Easy mode. Once they're all dead, return to orbit and go directly back into that mission. It will start you right back at the gate and you can finish up any kills you have left.

I think I clocked it at 14 minutes yesterday when I did it.

The lady that sells the emblems, do the shaders not update? She's been selling the same ones since launch it looks like.

Unfortunately no because why have a clan system work in gamewhen you have no matchmaking for half the stuff.

Makes me so mad because it seems like a no brained.
 
I really need a group now that I'm level 24 and need to manually assemble a fireteam for Nightfall and Weekly strikes.

I'm in GAF NA East 5, but there isn't much activity.

If anyone is down, my tag on X1 is Ash and Blood. I typically play around 9pm EST on weekdays and whenever on weekends.

I just added you.

my gt is: NJ Shlice

I play around 7pm to 12a EST

So, question... I'm light level 21 now. Am I supposed to just keep running level 20 Strikes until I hit 22, or will the gear I get from level 20 Strikes not even get me there?

Should I just jump to Level 22 Strikes?

Thanks!

Deaths are already stupid quick, the AR just takes the cake at being the best at close AND medium range, it only needs another little downgrade to bring it on par with other weapons.

Because it's a full auto weapon also means more chance of landing a shot compared to say the handcannons, where one miss can cost half a second in battle, AR's don't usually get that kind of miss punishment.

Question about missed engrams.

If I'm just out farming on patrol and leave some blue engrams on the ground, when I go back to the tower, will they be there? Or is it only if I complete a strike or mission and forget the engrams? Like, what's the stipulation regarding getting blue/purple/yellow engrams returned to me if I just leave it on the ground?

Did they hotfix some of these farming routes? I did Nexus and the re-spawning chests in Mars routes and only got Glimmer and greens. 0 engrams whatsoever.

Yup. I'm a bladedancer and loving it but if I made another character it would be a warlock for sure.

So early this morning I got an invite from a friend to do the nightfall strike and it took us two hours but we beat it and this is what we got as a reward.



I feel bad cause this is my second exotic weapon, third exotic drop lol

How do you get into the Nightfall Weekly? Unless I'm wrong.

There's this new icon in the Vanguard Playlist area at the top above the four other Vanguard stuff. It's at level 28. It's labeled Nightfall as well. Are you folks playing that one?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm sure this has already been answered, but I don't remember back on what page it was brought up: Can the "do 5 strikes without dying" exotic bounty be done at any level? Can I easily do the level 6 earth strike 5 times for it?
 
Guys, how much Crucible rep is needed to advance to the second level? I can't even see how fat along I am.

Quickest way to check is to pull up the Tower Map on the companion app and look at any vendor that requires the type of rep you want to check. It'll tell you what level you are, and how much rep (numerically) you need to get to the next level.

Slow way is to actually go to the tower and go to said vendor.

Does anyone have a good tip for building up Singsinger? Since I can't level up any more and already have Voidwalker almost maxed out, it takes forever to make progress in the subclass.

So I'm wondering if either through DLC/Expansions or a regular update, other areas in the tower will open up. We know the Iron Banner will be up those steps, above the Vanguard Class Masters, but there seems to be a big round door and an entire area in Tower North thats grayed out.

Yup. I don't see why not. I got both the trophy and the bounty for not dying in a strike on Easy mode Devil's Lair.
