Is anyone looking to do the vault of glass this week on xbox? Im a level 27, almost level 28, hunter. Im pretty competent at it and I know the strats on how to beat it.
 
Ok that's slightly better. But with my awful k/d, I won't ever get near to completing this.

:( should've chosen a different exotic. Or do all of them require some sort of PvP?

The hand cannon and Shotgun exotic bounties do, don't know about the others.

You're so going to LOVE the next stage of that hand cannon bounty, I completed it last night, and it was a DELIGHTFUL experience, of a shit load of patience and perseverance.
 
heh. did they get any gear during the raid?

looks like the gear being sold by the queen's vendor is perfect for your brother's (shit- second guessing myself, you said it was your brother right??) predicament. It should get him partway to 24.

Ha - yup. Already text him this morning to get on that Queen shit. Hopefully he'll finally be able to get some goodies.

No worries fella i was being sarcastic

omfgggg
best ever
 
I don't think anyone has said they have gotten anything but helm or chest from the Queen's Wrath mission. Probably limited to those two slots for now.

Excellent I just bought legendary gauntlets for Vanguard Marks, knowing my luck though when I get home I'll get more chest pieces for my lvl 18 hunter (who already has legendary gauntlets, boots and an exotic chest piece waiting, thanks RNGesus). Still I can't moan really.

I'm just glad they're offering more ways to get good gear quickly beyond grinding pvp/loot cave. I hope this is a sign that perhaps Bungie understand that their loot curve while ideal for their testers is less good for the other 95% of folks who aren't able to devote 3-4 hours a day. I just hope that this continues and maybe some more story content to boot (or any story, seriously I'd take audio log patrol missions at this stage)
 
Umm, how do I do the Queens Wrath event? I saw the notice pop up in the game promoting it but that's it.

Get one of her bounties from bounty bot. Complete the bounty and you'll get a token of sorts that allows you to do a mission from the orbit screen (it's above the weekly/daily stuff).
 
Probably obvious but if you're getting the same armour pieces from the Queen's Kill Order missions and you're actually going to keep one and dismantle the rest, they're not all identical, they all offer different bonuses to them.
 
I think all require some pvp, not sure though. The thorn sucks and I vaulted it shortly after i got it.
Haha, ok that makes me feel slightly better about tossing the bounty.
I don't think they all do. definitely a good idea to check out the steps of an exotic bounty before you make your choice. here's a list http://destinynews.net/guides-exotic-bounties/
Thanks for that! I didn't know they had set paths. Next time I'm offered an exotic bounty (lol never) I'll check out that list.

and it doesn't use the token unless you complete a mission so you can bail out over and over until you get an easy one right?
 
If the Queen's missions are really there to get people geared enough to raid, then that's wonderful. I think it's good for people to see how the raid is drastically different from all the strikes. I've seen too many people jumping into the raid giving fuck-all about how difficult it may be, and not even opening the vault itself.

Call me a killjoy, but I enjoy the fact people think the Vault is easy and have no raiding experience, and then wipe continuously. Folks learn if raiding is for them or not, and after a few ten or twenty wipes, you begin to see who preseveres, who's adaptable, who's ignorant, and who has no business in a raid.

pretty fucking good I admit.
Huh that's neat. I'm packing solar weapons. I'm guessing this week's is easier than doing the nightfall Summoning Pits (barring cheesing the Ogre at the end).
summoning pits nightfall was no joke even with cheesing Phogoth >_< I have to imagine the Nexus is easier. my solar fusion rifle and Gjallarhorn are so damn ready.
I have 200 Vanguard marks just waiting for me to level the vendor. I've been plugging away like mad, but I'm still short of rank 2. The thing is, I'm actually pretty good with armor at this point, so it really won't be useful until I hit 3.
hitting 3 also gives you a legendary or something else good as a reward outright :)

needs some upgrades, but I'm really digging the scout they gave me for my loyalty:
let the gods in
 
Do you already have other players ready to do it, or just you so far? Ill add you in a bit when i get home.
No one guaranteed.. But others have told me they want to run it. They just haven't found a big enough (leveled enough) group yet. Could probably pull 2-3 others.

Having played it with a super def Ocean's 13 level squad with EricWK and Purg3 and the rest, I totally agree it's so much fun with people there to work. It's not and shouldn't be just a casual stroll.
 
damn, I turned my ps4 off this morning instead of keeping it on standby :X
what are these Queen Missions that I'm accumulating under the inventory tab? I think I getting one for each Bounty I complete.

how do I use them up?
I think you select "Queen's Wrath mission" or so from the left on the orbit map, then you get a guaranteed legendary as a reward. they sound tough though :D

Hopefully you guys have a Chugen on PS4. He's a big help.

;D

We only wiped once, its just really damn tedious. With proper coordination and gear Nightfall shouldn't too hard, but a really god damn boring slog.
 
EVERYONE LIST YOUR QUEEN'S REWARD

1) Legendary Chest

1 chest, 3 helmets. Broke them all down for shards. Almost hit 29.

I'm really disappointed this is what the Queens wrath is. I knew it would be bounties. But absolutely no new content in any form of game mode etc is disappointing. I thought we might actually be getting some missions in the reef. Or maybe a little more story exposition. Boy am I naive. Anyway you complete a bounty, get a queens mission, which is a modified mission you've already played countless times. It's stupidly easy (only lvl 24 option, no harder for better loot etc.) They always give legendaries that are equivalent to what the vendors give that people had to work at getting over time with farming/marks/rep. They should of been a step below what you can get for crucible or vanguard marks to make it easier. This is kind of just a slap in the face in multiple ways. Oh well, at least it will mean I can start doing the raid on heroic this week.

If you want you can just load it up and see if you get the Cosmodrome mission to kill Riksis (Restoration). If you don't you can go back to orbit and try again without using your ticket (I think these are only consumed upon mission completion when it gives you an item). That mission is easy to solo; it's always Arc Burn it seems, but there is only one room of dudes to fight and the boss Archon.

very, very few primary weapons have elemental damage at all. if it exists it'll be an exotic.

As far as I know, the only elemental primaries are legendaries from raid rewards. There are no exotic primaries with elemental damage.
 
Dumb question time. I just hit level 20. Do I need legendary gear to level up further? How do I gather "light" or whatever I'm supposed to get to level up more? I'm still turning up bounties, am I wasting my time?

Some rare gear post level 20 has light but legendary gear will be what really starts getting you to move up. Aside from the base light that armor pieces add, upgrading their defense will also add light.

All rare armor you get from now on will have light.

You don't need legendary gear to level up farther. "Light" is on some rare gear as well as exotics and legendaries. Find some gear with light and that's how you level up past 20. You can also upgrade any gear that has light and it will upgrade the stats and the light bonus on that piece of gear as well so you can level up farther without finding new gear entirely.
