Actually, if you hold any empty weapon out for 30 seconds, you get ammo for it.

WHERE IS YOUR PROOF

 

[diablos991]

Do you farm or strike?

I do both.
Farming is much more efficient in terms of Engrams per hour though.

But the nightfall strike is freaking beautiful since it boosts faction reputation gain and exp gain for the rest of the week.

I wish I knew this last night.

 

[HiiiLife]

I randomly ran across another GAF player on Saturday night. I was doing the Earth strike and noticed one of the folks I was teamed with had the "NA East 6" clan tag. He invited me to his party chat. Chill dude - figpc I think was his name. Gaffers are a cool bunch.

Randomly came across a GAF member as well. I haven't seen him post in this thread yet though lol.

 

[bidguy]

I'm awful, I mostly play fighting games and decided to check this out. The only way I can get any kills is either by assists or vehicle kills on Mars maps. Will give it another try tonight.

dont listen to that dude loot in pvp is given away randomly after a match. it doesnt matter how you played even if you stay afk theres a chance for good loot

Thoughts? I'm a bladedancer so i spent all my strange coins on the third-man helmet. It seems, by price, helms are the best armor, even better than chest, so getting that specific exotic for my subclass made sense.

I'm level 26, not very good, and probably won't do a raid, so a little curios what to do now...

Also, and pure speculation, I think emblems might just factor into the RNG a tiny bit. No science, just ever since I bought my rare doggy one I seem to get a lot more everything in the crucible, PVE about normal

DaaaamN!

Don't you gotta be like 28 for that though?

 

[diablos991]

Is there a good way to farm engrams at level 20 solo, ie story missions set to level 20 or 22?

Chest farm in explore mode.

 

[Spawnling]

That moment when you hit Vanguard Rank 2 and remember that there are vanguard weapons waiting at rank 3 for you.

 

[Afrocious]

Those grenades are fucked. They are supposed to be magnetic, but I have seen it go straight THROUGH enemies, NPC and Human. I've seen it go right over the target's shoulder and hit the ground behind them. It's a crapshoot tossing one out.

That's never happened to me. Maybe I'm lucky, but I've been on killing sprees with just grenades lol.

 

[diablos991]

DaaaamN!

I finished it at lvl 26.
I have seen 24 and 25s finish it. There are pretty easy ways to cheese every encounter.

You die in 1 shot from most things regardless of level, so I don't think it matters too much. Just have to use the right strategy.

 

[fixuis]

Are the destiny servers down?

 

[HiiiLife]

Your image is broke.

Yikes. Hopefully it works now.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

To raise the cryptarc level.
The higher level he is the better odds of receiving something good.

Mine is lvl 7 and I have been slacking. I have seen lvl 13+ already.

So, spend a lot of glimmer on his junk to level the Cryptarch? Or just get lucky with more engram drops? Those are the only ways to level him, right?

 

[Seil]

WHERE IS YOUR PROOF

Dunno if that's actually the specific condition, but it's true that if you're out of ammo you'll be given a resupply after some time. Discovered this in the beta against the walker in Devil's Lair lol.

 

[Pop]

Destiny could really use competitive ranks.

 

[diablos991]

So, spend a lot of glimmer on his junk to level the Cryptarch? Or just get lucky with more engram drops? Those are the only ways to level him, right?

Yup.
I can cap at 25,000 glimmer in just over an hour. Spend all of it at the cryptarc for around +500 exp. Then decode the crap you found during the hour farm. Things go pretty quick from there.

He levels by decrypting found engrams or decrypting engrams you buy from him.

I dunno about 25's but you can't even run it at 24. It's locked off for me.

 

[Ze_Pershing]

It is just hard to believe how lackluster the social stuff is in this game. I only have 1 friend I play this game with. I have been looking forward to this raid and now I probably can't play the shit. UggggggGGGGGHGGHGHHHHhh

Just do what I did yesterday.. look at the survey list of people, add a bunch of names to your friend's list, join their fireteam or ask some them to join yours if you need help and roll out, someone is going to say yes. My friends list of people who play Destiny went from 2 to like 15 last night and everyone was playing it.

Sometimes you gotta do stuff yourself

You have 10 seconds to tell me why Titans aren't a horrible class for horrible people.

 

[Poodlestrike]

WHERE IS YOUR PROOF

I'll take a video when I get home; I used that trick on the Spider Tank boss, it's great because if you hang all the way in the back on top of that building, it's basically incapable of hurting you, and all you have to deal with is the occasional Captain/Vandal combo that tries to rush you.

And man, you really want that Avatar quote, huh?

 

[Computer]

Destiny could really use competitive ranks.

It could really use a text or proximity chat system.

You definitely can at 25. I've been in party with them in there.

No
Didn't even cross my mind

The easiest way I found to finish the lv 28 nightfall strike is with 3 defender titans.
It greatly reduces the risk of wiping and starting the whole damn thing over again.

 

[Ze_Pershing]

faster to rep up the Crucible, 25 for the win, 10 for the lose

Wait, so you get them points for W or L? what about ones overall performance, you must be getting some additional points?

All legit questions, I haven't played PvP yet after I hit lvl20

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Im never going to be 26 in time for the raid :-(

 

[IAmRandom31]

Finally got my first Legendary! Came from a blue engrem too. Legging armor. Put it on and immediately jumped to Level 24 lol

 

[Bunta]

How are the hand cannons in PvP?

I've only used them sparingly, I think they're ok.

 

[Pastry]

Does it have elemental damage? That would be really useful for shielded enemies in difficult strikes. The shields regenerate so fast and sometimes there's no ammo around so you can't do shit to them.

Yup! It's fire or solar, whatever they call it!

 

[Tawpgun]

How are the hand cannons in PvP?

If you think you can hit headshots easily with a single fire, slow RoF weapon, then good I guess.

 

[nicoga3000]

Question about chests - if I find one on patrol, do the gear and engrams come out at my level no matter where I find it?

Bungie seems to be against judging (or rewarding) people for their individual performance in the Crucible

 

[DY_nasty]

gdlk if you can aim

 

[RoboPlato]

Yes

 

[Bizazedo]

Because you get shotgunned in the face if you do.

Getting shotgunned / fusion rifled right before I shoulderblock someone into oblivion is such a buzzkill. I still love it, though. Hurts my ratio, but it's a game, it's for fun.

Had my first afk guy in a playlist Strike. Pathetic creature only ran from zone to zone and crouched in a corner till the waves were over.

I really want to know how Bungie is going to deal with this. I wonder if this is part of the reason there is no matchmaking on the Heroic Weekly Strike.

Space Magic.

I'm a Titan.

The fastest way to rank up in the crucible is turning in spinmetal while chest farming.
TONS more loot, chance to do public events which get you rare ascendant materials and you can get 150 of the things per hour to exchange for rep+marks.

 

[Croc]

Anyone want to run The Black Garden (lv 20) with me? I have a bounty for beating it on Heroic and also one for 9k experience without dying (already at 3k). Just trying to see if I can take them out both in one go and to make it a bit easier on myself.

Higher levels preferred, just so it'll be even easier (I'm level 24).

I'm CrocomirePrime on PS4, add me if you wanna join!

Anybody? Reposting for new page

Being a dad and husband, I don't have a lot of free time to game anymore (maybe 3-4 hours/wk if I am lucky). I have been reading many of the various critiques of the game and certainly everyone is entitled to their opinions. I am personally having a blast playing. I am only level 12 so far so it's a much slower grind for me. I think that is actually helping with my enjoyment. The lack of content/areas that seems to be really affecting some folks and legitimately; does not seem to impact me that much so far. It's not perfect by any means; but the gun play is satisfying...I do wish some of the enemies were not so bullet spongy, and I also wish that some of the sub events in the missions happened a little more organically (i.e., less hold square to trigger monster invasions.

 

[jay23]

How?

 

[Number45]

I'm not the only one that can't be bothered reading all of the grimoire cards right? I started reading them, and a few of them are interesting enough, then I scrolled down the list of new ones.

And scrolled.

And scrolled.

Yup, most of that lore is going to pass me by.
