i think we might be getting overly frustrated with the quests because as soon as we get them we rush to complete them ASAP

I'm sure bungie intended more that people might spend a little bit of time with them every day kind of thing

i mean the expansion has barely been out a week and most of the exotics have been gotten by people already..

 

[Ophelion]

Not for me. I much preferred it without the quests. Some quests are fine, I guess, but there should be more random drops.

The best happy medium that I see is the best of both worlds: every exotic gun gets a quest, but they are also on the loot tables. People like me that prefer quests can get them that way and people that prefer to cower before the malefic will of RNG for some reason can do it theirs.

Worst case scenario: people end up with a few extra exotic shards.

 

[Afrocious]

A character like this came from their character creation kit?

Yup. I've always been impressed by how Destiny's character creation can allow me to make an actual black woman. It's pretty hard to pull off in most games.

 

[Baliis]

Not for me. I much preferred it without the quests. Some quests are fine, I guess, but there should be more random drops.

I agree that there aren't enough that are random. There's like what, 3 weapons? Not including the year 2 version of year one guns anyways. There's no excitement from most of my exotic engrams I got since most of them were old gear.

 

[Poker Face]

Rank 5 with Eris yet or not?
That's a guaranteed one.

she didn't give me one even when i got to 5

 

[piratethingy]

Need 2 more

I'll go Psn crophonso

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

They really need to fix the quests you're doing on the world map. If you're doing multiple it's confusing as fuck. I see a bunch of flashing purple triangles with no idea which is for which quest unless I go look in the quests screen.

All they really need to do is add which quest it is when you hover over it on the world map.

 

[Seil]

I'm hanging out at Rocketyard, waiting for Stirok, Banner of Oryx to appear. No other guardians are here, so I either can't find the Taken lieutenants in time, or I can't beat Stirok by myself. Feel free to join on me! PSN is legilimens.

I'll join ya, but would you help me with the one in Skywatch afterward? Need that for my Petra bounty.

 

[R0ckman]

I had trouble making a human black male that I liked, maybe I should have just done this...

I was thinking the same thing. The face looks way more detailed than mine lol.

 

[Afrocious]

Looking for 1 person for King's Fall. Please be level 295 or higher!

Looking for 1 person for King's Fall. Please be level 295 or higher!

Sure

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Anyone doing Nightfall on PSN? I hardly ever do it but there's a quest step I need. I don't know how hard it is but I usually die a lot and have no mic. Enticing I know. If I can join anyone though let me know. I'm a 289 hunter.

[JetBlackPanda]

I have a quick question. Can you still run the nightfall once per character?

 

[Namikaze1]

One more for a fresh raid run. Prefer folks who know the mechanics for each encounter and 295+. Also, I personally would like a fellow Titan to join me.

Edit: nevermind. Afro got it covered.

Yeah, this.
We are bitching that this quest or this other one is too much about mindless farming when they are supposed to be done "organically" while playing the game. Like the flakes. Or the CoO completions. Or the fragments.
We are hardcore so we want everything *now*, which makes these quests a bit of a bore, but when you think about it they are not that complicated when all it takes for very dedicated gamers to get them is only to grind for a few hours.
If anything, would it have been me there would be more things like the argonach runes...

 

[Twilight Gap]

Alright raid time.

Figs! Zobes where'd you disappear to?

i'm taking a break. i only have to do oryx anyway.

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Sure

Yup. Let's boogie. I thought I had you as a friend, so add me: PSN Afrodeeziyak

Totem checkpoint.

Imma titan, but 294 and wont be home for two and half hours fuck.....
I wanna do this raid

 

[Twilight Gap]

1000 yard stare needs an aim assist nerf. This thing is basically an aim bot.

 

[MixedBeverage]

I'll join ya, but would you help me with the one in Skywatch afterward? Need that for my Petra bounty.

Sure, just did that one. It was more fun, because I got to do at least 2 public events while waiting!

 

[ocean]

OH HOLD ON THIS THING HAS AUTO FIRE?

 

[Lnkn52]

Fuck yeah. Now I'm ready for the raid today lol

Thanks Zoba and Math. I owe you two for real. We can go fragment hunting for sure.

That's a great looking combo, gloves and chest piece.

 

[Robdraggoo]

OH HOLD ON THIS THING HAS AUTO FIRE?

What thing?

 

[LTWood12]

What thing?

Touch of Malice

 

[ocean]

What thing?

Touch of Malice has full auto
When you have 1 bullet left it auto regens ammo so you never reload or run out and that last bullet does 2x damage

This is insane

 

[Robdraggoo]

Touch of Malice

Fuck.... i wanna do this raid

 

[Shito]

OH HOLD ON THIS THING HAS AUTO FIRE?

Haha.
I don't think I like auto fire on scouts. Got my VoC late, and loved it, but I felt like the auto fire on it made me "dumb" and hurt my aiming skills.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Ghost keeping me from reaching 300

Same. It sucks. I finally got one to drop over 280, it was 283 >.<

I got one with hidden hand, or does it always come with that? Haven't used it yet though since I'm having fun with hereafter.

Looks like I know what I'm doing for the next couple days.

Use tracking feature

Ah I see that helps somewhat if you just track one quest and it has a specific spot to go to. Better than nothing. Thanks.

 

[GlamFM]

DGAF I believe in you. These newbies need to see the best sentence in the lower left feed in the game.

It hurts you to keep firing but kill 3 enemies and you record health

I need a calculator and a few snipers for DPS comparison not having to reload and being full auto means sustained crit damage on this thing is savage (until you die )

 

[shermas]

For the faction quest that you get at level 25, you have to equip an entire set of the faction Armor to complete? Is that right? Bungie, pls.

 

[EloquentM]

Rank 5 with Eris yet or not?
That's a guaranteed one.

I'm rank 5 and didn't get one

And then you cast Radiance and blow everything up with grenades.

No, just emblem+shader+class item (Mark/bond/cloak)

just shader, emblem, class item

 

[Cronen]

Huge thanks to all the GAFfers involved in helping me finish Vault of Glass. Glad to have it done! Now to look at buying TTK collectors edition!

I thought it was just the emblem, class item, and maybe the shader?

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

Anyone want to do Court of Oryx level 3? I have a Rune ready

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Is there a list or could someone tell me which quests are actually worth doing. I'm a 289 Hunter. So looking for better gear basically. The crap rewards quests I'll just abandon.

Quests I have are:
A Sword Reforged - I'm just waiting for armsday on this one =)
The Taken War: Earth
The Legion's Beachhead
Path of The Gunslinger
Path Of The Bladedancer
Neverending Battle
Blighted Worlds
The Old Hunger
High Value Targets
The Court Of Oryx (Is this the 300 artifact one?)
Make The Vanguard Smile (I don't know how to do overcharge 3 and don't really want to either)

 

[Shito]

she didn't give me one even when i got to 5

I'm rank 5 and didn't get one

Wow, so I've been hella lucky.
She gave me four T1, one T2 and one T3...
Thought it was guaranteed.
