Is it possible to enter the Hard Mode Raids as someone who hasn't even completed the normal difficulty if the Fireteam Leader has it selected in the Director?

I want to get the Year One emblem but don't know anyone who is raiding and want to get it done before Tuesday, as well as PoE. I work until 6 tonight but I have all of Sunday and Monday to play. PSN: dygbert

Do we know how much extra rep you get from the exotic faction class items? Assuming 10%, which means 32 rep per heavy donation plus an extra 3.2 which will poetically round to 35 rep, which is 76 heavies to fully level.

So I'll have 4 rank ups from heavy donation plus the commendations for 1200 marks and 1000 hadronic essence. Tuesday morning will be fun. I can smell that space ferrari already.

You can run the nightfalls in place of the heroic strike. Still counts and much faster with the solar burn and ghorn.

Got 30 done between all three characters for dead orbit's faction quest.

I'm usually voidwalker all day, but in Mayhem I've been having fun with Sunsinger + Radiant Skin + Solar Grenades + Touch of Flame + Viking Funeral and topping it all of with Sunbreakers. I actually got my first Scorch the Earth medal thanks to Mayhem.

Problem with that is that it doesn't have matchmaking. If I had a team then I would do that and not think twice about it since it's much faster, but soloing it is too risky because if I die then I just wasted a whole bunch of time.

So vault of glass says it's a level 26 raid. for what light level should I go in there at, I don't even have a full set of 20 gear, did they redo vault of glass so it's easier? There is no way just being 26 is going to let you live
Click to expand...

Start Vault of Glass. Find an enemy outside the Vault and let it kill you. It should show up the top right what Light level the enemy was. I did my first run at 26 last year and didn't really suffer that much.

I own Destiny and its current expansions for Xbox One and PS4. I currently have the GameStop Collector's Edition preordered for Xbox One, but I want some of the extras for the PS4 as well. I know the CE comes with new emotes, but I care more about the weapons and armor.

AFAIK, the only way to get those extras is either get the CE from GameStop, or the CE digital download. Do the other releases contain any extras?

i love this game, but they make some very weird tuning choices.
Click to expand...
Been thinking about it, might have been an attempt to stop hype from building around the slow pulse rifles. Hopscotch was incredibly rare and the best of the archetype, which draws some comparisons to Felwinter's after its first Iron Banner. A rare weapon that can no longer be obtained that definitely gives all owners of it some unfair advantages, so much so that the moment weapons of a similar quality are released everyone flocks to them and creates another horrible quick-kill meta.

It could also be that they simply forgot to update the others into the medium impact archetype in this patch and that happens in 2.0.1. I doubt it, though, as some of the new TTK pulse rifles are in the slow archetype, but that may just be early datamining showing old plans.

So my thoughts for 2.0 at this point:

-The Last Word and Hawkmoon need an accuracy buff
-Felwinter's shotgun archetype needs to be removed
-Pulse Rifles need a damage and/or stagger reduction
-Fusion Rifles need slight damage buff


I think the game will be "balanced" with these changes. Thorn is good, but Hawkmoon and The Last Word are inconsistent. Felwinter's archetype is still broken in PvP and is useless in PvE, so it shouldn't exist. Pulse Rifles that can 2 shot kill also stagger the opponent ridiculously, making them annoying to fight against with any other weapon. And Fusion Rifles need to retake their niche from the long ranged Shotguns.

Oh and I hate randoms with all my being ... I would rather drag my balls through broken glass than have to deal with these fools

You shouldn't really... they'll all be nigh-useless in comparison to gear you get from play.

Althought I think any preorder of any kind, CE or not, gets you at least the Suros Pack.

Endorsed! The pulse rifle tweak would give some of the most aggressive scouts a competitive angle at that range.

Yeah The Last Word is so incredibly useless now. I can still get hip fire kills which is all fine.. But when it's close range and I'm aiming down sights and hitting nothing at all.. That makes no sense whatsoever

Right. Those Vanguard weapons from the original preorder of Destiny were nothing hot after a short time.

Thanks!

EDIT: I think I am going to preorder the digital version of TTK for PS4 at $40 to get the extras, and keep GameStop CE for Xbox One for the physical stuff. Too bad the codes in the Xbox One are not usable with the PS4 ;)

Click to expand...
Hmm, I've... seen a lot of scummy play in my time, but I really don't think that qualifies. The dude on the ground had like six months to kill him at a predictable speed and angle. He got a few hits in and was punished for not closing the deal. The range the trigger was pulled at is an approprite one for a shotgun to kill from. If you just mean slide-shotgunning in general that's nothing "new" :p

Agreed. The 5-8 RoF, 67 Impact and 11 RoF, 64 Impact shotguns need to be changed into at least 14 RoF, 61 Impact shotguns. Judgement VI with a bit of a range nerf (say, base 8?) would be a good thing to aim for with this archetype.

Unfortunately I can see a few in the database that are still like this. Oddly enough, one of them is the Vanguard shotgun, so at least it won't show up much with PvP-only players.

Trials spoilers that may be subject to change:
Of course the new ToO Shotgun is a Matador clone with more range at this point in time. Of course it is. I'm sure that won't cause ANY problems down the line.

Yea I hope they don't leave them the way they are. I've never been a fan of Pulse Rifles but I don't mind them being powerful so long as they don't overstep their niche. Hand Cannon against Pulse Rifles is very skewed towards Pulse Rifles because of their accuracy, and then they stagger snipers on top of it. Competitives are saying there's no reason to use a Legendary HC over a Pulse Rifle, and that to me is a big problem.

Don't like the thought of Pulse + Felwinter's becoming the new meta.

ADS is decent if they're right in front of your face, but with long ranged shotguns that range is just too risky to even put yourself in.

Well PvP people don't mind playing PvE stuff to get weapons (like Thorn), but with Legendary Marks, it'll be easier than before for them to pick it up.

Judgement isn't OP like the others so I wouldn't mind that. I'd rather Shotguns prioritize 2 shot kills or 1 shot + melee though. The whole blink or slide + 1 shot = equal kill needs to go unless you're right up in their face. Otherwise, there wont be any room for fusion rifles and the game will still play the same as ti did before.

Since Bungie.net redid their site, I can't find a place to look at all the possible medals I've ever earned, and ones I haven't.

Anyone know what section it's under?

Edit: Nevermind, just found it.
