I can only imagine how hard it would be to capture zones.
D'oh! I was hoping for some lore appropriate amnesia parasites. Get Kojima on the phone, he can come up with something :-D

For PvP, they seem to be generally easier than the old ones... I can usually knock them out in 1-2 games, depending on how my team is doing.
It would be almost like... Mayhem!
Good lord, the XP. THE XP. Went from 28 to 34 in the space of a few hours of bounties and clearing old quests that the Abandoned Quest terminal decided to give to me.
Is it worth it to complete a full set of 12 bounties and sit on them until next Tuesday, then pop the 25% XP bonus item I've had hanging around in my inventory forever and turn them all in at once and immediately get a couple more levels?

For sure. I've got 20 Public Event packages and 10 x 5k XP bounties + 6 x 3000 XP bounties ready for Tuesday. Going to pop a Focused Light and go to town.

They all seem pretty easy and quick from what I've seen. PvP ones are laughable at times with bounties like, win one match, or kill 7 enemies. The PvE ones seem about the same without the mission specific kill so and so. Instead there's more kill this type of enemy, do these kinds of kills, etc
Edit oh yeah lots of crucible bounties require a fireteam which is whatever. Kinda dumb.
My kind of PvP.
Really? I noticed the GHorn nerf, but it still seems powerful. Mine was maxed out and I used it on Skolas and it seemed decent.
Haven't done VoG in a hot minute though. I used to tear up Gatekeepers for dinner.
Will those packs, commendations?, from coins overwrite public event packages or just auto delete themselves, and never show up? I have left 8 slots open because 1 package / 50 coins.

The kill 5 enemies with one life is near impossible for me... I suck so bad at this pvp
Yeah the faction packages will overwrite, so the very first thing you should do when logging in on Tuesday is to open the Public Event packages.
Go to Mayhem, hide, use supers?

....I have no idea why I didn't think of this...
You gain the suros preorder package. That's about it
Wouldn't you want to first unlock your new subclass before opening the PE packages?

Oh I haven't noticed that one. That could be a tougher one. I'm sure you'll be more successful too once this meta settles down a bit. At this point we are all kinda in limbo trying to figure out what playstyles are effective.

I think they shortened the distance at which damage falloff occurs. I noticed yesterday during crucible that some crits weren't killing. Some people on reddit had the same experience it seems. However, they think that using a longer range scope helps push the falloff distance out further, but aiming time suffers.
I guess Bungie felt that snipers were too strong, but they are supposed to be strong, they're snipers.
Same for me to leave 8 post slots open then because when I get to play on 15th TTK is already out.
Yeah, I suppose it depends on how things work, like what level the subclass quest is available and if story missions give rep or not.
If Story missions give rep then my Vanguard will rank up and overwrite a package
I haven't played Mayhem so that might not be as easy as it sounds, but if you're gunslinger/voidwalker and very careful I imagine it shouldn't be too bad.

I did notice this a bit too. On crossroads I sniped across the map and did 100 less damage than usual on a crit shot. At some point in another match I tried to kill a guy at close/medium range with a body shot and it popped immune for some reason :/. They just don't want everyone using shortgaze probably, but they can pry it from my cold dead hands.

make sure you dont get too excited. wait till you get the new sublcass first, THEN go to town.
eh, you might have wanted to save a couple spaces in the postmaster as your commendations are going to go there

I don't think this is necessarily bad. There are a whole set of sniper scopes and perks that are mostly meaningless because the range stat on the rifles didn't matter. This seems like it falls in line with their philosophy to make stat choices important.

We'll see who was the last laugh huehuehehuehu. *readies bow*
Seriously though, can't wait to mess fools up with the golden hammer.

I think it'd be really quick into the story. I imagine that Phobos mission, then we return to the Vanguard for a de-brief and then we go search for the new powers right after. Could be mission 2 or 3.

Everyone only thinks about supers, don't forget is also grenade and melee, which for Nightstalkers means grenades and smoke

Been enjoying using the Sunsinger Stickynades at people with the Bad Juju combo so far. Using the Chest piece that gives me extra nades too.

The gunslinger was pretty easy to do, took me maybe 30min.
The titan and warlock ones though, DEAR GOD!
So it's amazing?

Or the smoke bomb that makes your entire squad invisible???You mean the bow which shuts down supers?

I mean, how am I supposed to do it while the other 2 players are trying to finish the strike?

Create a fire team with friends
It's really not that difficult, you get sweet class items, and it teaches randoms to think about team work and creating orbs. Win-win imo
