It's so bizarre to evaluate the state of Crucie when like 1/3rd of the weapons it was designed to compensate for do not currently exist.

Lol I can't believe I'm channeling DJ Dabouya and getting kills with Word of Crota.
Did you guys solo the gatekeepers on VoG?

The bugs seem to be back for Crota, at least.
I just did a hard crota run. On the first run the sword disappeared entirely, and on our second run I was invisible for about three seconds before Crota stood up and he just dumptrucked me.
I still remember running PVP with my Fatebringer. I call that the What The Hell Am I Doing Age.

there is no more special orders anymore
suros pack came to the post master we as well. would have used to have gone to special orders
Not referring to the special order vendor for stuff like preorder bonuses.. The postmaster has different "buckets". There is a one that your faction packages and PE packages go into, 20 slots. There is one where your lost items go into, 20 slots. There is also a bucket where your messages or items from special benefactors, etc. go into, which is also 20 slots.

I had to, there was a new convert on the line.
Im pretty sure they dont stack though. you dont get 60 slots. if you have 20 packages filled up for example and you get a missing blue engram it will push out the 1st package on the list. there is a 20 space maximum.

lol don't forget to spec Explosive Rounds and pair it with Icebreaker, you might even hit 1.0 K/D!

To be honest, I would almost say no to pre-TTK.

Haha. I don't think I've ever even tried fatebringer in PvP.

Oh boy I don't think I can bring myself to do that. I really don't like explosive rounds.
Oh I'd forgotten about this. Look at why Arcbolt needed the nerf stick badly:

Ok not representative of average play since this is easily one of the absolute best out there, but notice the goddamn range these things had. Doing 122 meant 1 HC headshot before or after would be a kill, which is crazy.

Well on my side we sent 2 into the portal, if that's what you mean.

They stack, I have 20 PE event packages along with 5 blue engrams and focused light at my postmaster.
I know WYL will be streaming. Pretty sure most if not all the other players will be too.
From what I've heard, its standard sweaty rules, but they'll be playing control. Posted on Aug 31st
Lol thats what I heard too
Not sure but I believe Nghtly and other 13Dev's majorly hate control and all the 6v6 modes.

Mind fucking blown
Public events give marks?
PE packages don't stack. I have 20 in my postmaster x3 and I did number 21 today and got no package. But yeah other packages and engrams etc will stack below and they don't bump out your PE packages.
I have a (probably) dumb question. I bought destiny about a month ago due to finding it cheap. I leveled up to 24 before the patch the other day. How do I keep leveling now? They seemed to have removed all the strike playlists except the lvl 20 one and that's too low level for me. Everything else is too high level. Is there a way I can level through PVE now?
Note that I don't own any of the expansions. I may buy TTK when it comes out.

When he snipes, he slides his shots to get headshots, is that because of the auto aim it works so well?
I had to jump into that other thread, too. So much hate out there.
About the postmaster, I think I'm done grinding and 'prepping' for Tuesday. I still have to finish the Armsday stuff on my Warlock, but I might just shut it down and chill once that's complete. I don't want to mess up by 'overprepping' or stuffing my mailbox. It might be nice to actually enjoy some of the new content and not just race to 40 as quickly as possible. My factions are edged, I have blues everywhere for Cyp rep, 12 or so public events on all three toons, full PVE bounties ready to turn in, etc. Not sure I want to continue burning out.
/probably be grinding PvP later. xbone.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be bothering with that redbull quest.

All levelling is experienced based now. Go do activities and earn EXP and you'll level up.
I didn't say that PE packages stacked.

You can drop the relic just fine but now it resets your super and cleanse energy. Previously you could drop the relic and pick it back up without resetting your meters, as long as you were the one to pick it up. If someone else grabbed it then it would reset.
This was really smart design because it rewarded higher level play but still punished mistakes if the relic holder died. You could juggle the relic with your weapons to give extra damage on the Templar or help clear Oracles vs. Atheon, which was great for helping less experienced teams. Relic juggling was basically required in the early HM VoG days when the group was filled with Lv29s and/or scrubby players.
Now you can't drop the relic at all if a cleanse will be required soon. It's just boring now. Maybe this is the type of detail many people wouldn't care about but it seriously bugs me. I mean how many more damn nerfs are they going to add? Nerfing Xur's heavy ammo, nerfing a perfectly designed raid mechanic... blah.
I think you['re completely spot on about this, considering how they seem to treat these things very generically (i.e. PoE mines were re-skinned VoG Oracles and reacted to Oracle Disruptor perks).
...but they need to pay more attention to this stuff!! They're damaging encounters that were previously designed to perfection. Templar especially is a master class in great boss design but they keep making it worse (Hobgoblin platform kill volumes, now this).

Yea 4 each time. Fucking grind though.
I've been hoarding bounties and stuff too but I'm starting to wonder if it'll suck some of the fun and challenge out of the story mode by just rocketing up to level 40. I think I'm going to cool it on that.

Not true. I have my 20 slots filled with PEs and still get lost items in a separate bucket. Also got my Suros items in a separate bucket.

Probably, that combined with the way hitboxes are in this game. Flicking is pretty standard sniping procedure in any shooter, though.
But what I am saying is, I can't find any activities that are around level 24. Should I just do the level 20 strikes?
I've been sniping wrong this whole time.

Haha I wasn't trying to say that!
Not saying you said that, just spreading the word.
It's what I did when my 3 year old woke me up each morning at th crack of dawn and we were both too tired to function properly. I'm gonna use it to level up my subclass.
Sweet thanks.

Right now, I believe it is the only way. Bounties will help a lot.

Yeah, it's still pretty good depending on the map. It's just more viable now since other things are less good. Make sure you have Full Auto.
Seems like Pulse Rifles will be the new kings, with Scouts second or third with Autos. Hand Cannons feel really weak right now, excluding Thorn which will be obsolete for real PvP in Trials and Iron Lagger.

Yeah it's decent. 45 to the head and shoots very fast. If you like Scouts and dont have a Mida, that's not a bad option.
Hmm, thats lame. Thanks.
Will there be mid-20's strikes added back when TTK comes out?
What about PvP? Hop in the Crucible... that should work.

If you buy TTK, I believe you get an item that will boost you to 25, which is the minimum level for the TTK story.
