Man, I keep forgetting what the Patrol symbols stand for. The only one I can remember is Assassination missions, because it only rarely pops up. :( Anyone got a good overview of what the others are?

Funny you mention this, I was gonna do a "mini-guide" like Hawkian to answer this very question.
 
What's generally regarded the best way to tackle the end game?

Got to level 20 but no further yet and only have 1 item with light. I've been playing a lot of Crucible as a.) I enjoy it and b.) it looks the quickest way to get legendary armour.

Should I be spending more time grinding the Strikes?
 
That's why I still don't understand why there's no trade system. I get Bungie's intentions, but the reasoning is pretty dumb, especially in the long term of the game. Someone could have used that, and I trashed it for mats. I could have easily traded it, like for that fucking badass roman soldier looking Titan helm...Hell I would have given it away to people I normally play with that could have used it if there was an option to do so.

That is my biggest thing. It would be fair to have a trade/gift system with in a clan or a selected number of players/friends.
 
Some day.

Honestly, I've gotten more Legendary drops from blue engrams than purple ones.

Compass: stand in an area to survey it

Ghost shaped icon: go to something and hold square to scan

Triangle: kill enemies and pick up their drops

4 diamonds (best I can describe it): kill enemies

Star: assassination
 
Crucible is possibly the worst competitive multiplayer I've ever played. Straight garbage.

Horrendously unbalanced, super spamming, and special weapons appear to be the only viable guns. Shotgun charges worse than Gears of War.

Honestly?

Yes.

Do the strike playlist and you'll start getting light gear pretty quick.

I'm tied up right now. 1/3 Legendary engrams turned legendary, and one blue engram out of I don't even know how many went purple. I think that the "purples from blues" ratio is right where it should be, IMO.
 
There's an explanation in the OP.

Personally I don't think it's a good title. There were much better titles thrown out in the old OT.

Ohhh, I figured it was all the same OP stuff from before so I didn't re-read it. Frankly, my attention to detail is so low that it could have been there forever and I'd have still missed it.
 
That's how it goes. Look at the bounty description. Does it say "Kill Xyor?" That's the final step you need to do.

Yeah, that's normal, there's still another part to it.

Cool beans, thanks. Xyor it is.

The pursuit of loot in this game is so real. I actually did an Xbox record that when my legendary engram gave me a legendary dead orbit sniper and I rarely do record thats. 😆
 
Maybe I'm not getting the mechanics down. I have mostly legendary gear, I notice that my team mates are having an easier time nawing through higher level foes, while I struggle. For example when fighting yellow bar enemies at higher levels it takes me a lot of work, but I see my comrades using weapons and taking out 30% where I'm taking out maybe 15%, even taking advantage of weak points. What the hell is going on?I know SOME of my weapons are not fully powered up, maybe half way or so before it starts getting you to grind for the damn materials. Are fully upgraded weapons (compared to mid upgraded) going to make that much of a difference in the end?

Damage types?

Are you matching up your type of damage to the enemies shields?

For instance, I play a Striker titan, so I have a grenade and melee arc damage for blue shields.

I have a Sol Shotgun for Orange Shields.

I have a Void Machine gun for Purple shields.

I can knock a full blue shield off a Fallen Capt pretty regularly with one grenade. I can also take down most Wizard shields with a single shotgun blast.
 
Stasis..

Until my isp guy comes by to fix my Internet issues,
He'll be here in about an hour and half. Than I shall marathon level 7 to 20.


If I could write a beautiful poem I would T-T
 
Anybody wants to do the weekly strike? Need it for my exotic bounty and thought I might as well just complete it on the highest difficulty for the strange coins.

Get Good is the easy response to this.

I am curious though, how much crucible have you played?

The circle with a star in it are the Target Missions. Kill a specific mob. Reward is +25 Rep.

The one with a triangle that looks almost like a paper airplane, those you have to kill enemies and collect a drop item. Reward is +10 Rep.

The one that looks like a compass type thing are Survey Missions, got to an area and scout it. Reward is +10 Rep

The one that looks like a ghost, you have to go scan something. Reward is +10 Rep.

The shotgun is a bit buggy but garbage may be a little extreme. The Scout rifle is pretty good for taking out snipers if you don't have one.

Special aren't OP because everyone has one and if it's used right it can be advantageous to anyone.

The only complaint I have about Crucible is the damn vehicles, I don't find that they are properly balanced.

Bounties, bounties and more bounties. Everything else has a random outcome and is a waste of time.

I had no idea, thanks for this.
 
Is anyone having connection issues on PS4? I just got the game today and have been booted twice now in the last 20 minutes...

Had a bit of connection trouble earlier. Got disconnected a couple times and Crucible was really laggy.

Funny how the game insults you when you get booted by saying it's a problem with your internet connection.

I'm holding a 2.0 but I agree it is really bad. I only play it if I have too....
 
OT yet having the same old and bad mistake.

Warlock is the powerful class.

Sunsinger sub-class is the most powerful killer machine I always saw in Destiny... it SUPER is like dropping non-stop NOVA-BOMB over the victims.

Nah, I understand the elemental shield thing, it's just the yellow bar dudes are taking too much work to kill AFTER I get the shield off.
 
Reverend Rahool is just to your right as you zone into the tower, he always accepts donations for the church of RNGesus.

He has my glimmer and my blue balls.

2-3 in five games and around a 1.5 k/D it's just frustrating

It can get very frustrating indeed.

If anyone on Xbox One needs someone for the weekly strike I'm going on for a bit now.

Gamer tag is Lasagna For 1

I added you.

I play PVP solo and it just gets very frustrating when I'm facing a squad and one guy is always there to clean me up after I get a kill.

Vehicles can easily be taken out at range or with supers if you're close. I play a LOT about crucible and once you get the hang of it it's a blast.

how so? All it does it give a slight buff.
 
Re-post my first Exotic find here as celebration.

Well here is my first piece of Exotic!!!! And it's a chest piece for my Warlock!!! Thank you!!! RNGesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Praise the Sun!!!

Well, it sure looks hot. But its stats are actually worse than my current legendary chest piece and it has less upgrades. It's guaranteed that a fully upgraded Exotic will ALWAYS be better than a legendary?
