The exotic quests and modified strikes have been on of the highlights on TTK for me. I hope they expand on that kind of gameplay for RoI. I just bought it.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Or sidearm.

No such thing.

 

[noomi]

That's a loadout that will get you shotgunned or Last Worded an awful lot tbh. Switch the Jade for a Hand Cannon/Pulse/AR, or the snipes for a shotty.

Noomi try Mida you may like it better. But the rest, yup you're meta. .

Is the grasp still the go to for pulses, and for AR's any high RoF?

Pulse:
Grasp (if you farmed a good roll )
Vendor Hawksaw
PDX 45 or 41
Some people rock Bad Juju

AR: vendor New Monarchy one is beastly
Doctrine from Trials
Soulstealer from CoE

Thanks dude, I'll have to check out the New Monarchy AR, never got the doctrine or soulstealer.

Hi - looking for roll advice..primarily for PvE here, I have hawksaws, soulstealers, TLW's etc for PvP.

I've got 3 loops - which one is "best" - bearing in mid that I do LOVE firefly.

1. Exhumed and Life support - with handloaded. - I think this is bad!

2. Spray and Play and Firefly - with lightweight or explosive rounds in the middle - no range perk

3. Rangefinder and LITC - with hand-loaded or smallbore in the middle column.

I'm thinking 2 could be pretty good for PvE? Do I need range perks in PvE?

3 feels more like a PvP roll which I can keep I guess?

Are 2 and 3 any good? very good? or a bit meh?

 

[DCX]

That Sleeper SImulant quest is a PITA but it was so worth it. When Entropy's Pinnacle came up in dailies the battle at the end used to give me a really hard time. But today, even at 290 light this thing took the Echo out in 5 shots.

It is a beastly weapon! I infused it so it's up to 307 and it's doing insane amounts of damage.

Hmm i need to test that New Monarchy AR. Perks look too powerful.

There is no PVP roll for imago loop that would make it better than other PVP hc. . But yeah, the one with Firefly is PVE ready. Even without the range.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

No such thing.

The bodies of shotgun warriors laying just outside their piddly range disagrees.

Stormcallers too, though that's much dicier.

never got the doctrine or soulstealer.

Arminius from the gunsmith is the other Y2 one in the family. Not quite as good as the beastly DoP some have or a perfect Claw, but it is merely a waiting game away (once he sells one again).

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I'm torn...MIDA is so nice, but Tlaloc + max discipline + Gift of the Sun = grenades are practically your primary. Like, you always have one.

Awwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeaa.

pew pew pew love it.

 

[Hedera]

What do you mean? You can go buy it, unless I'm missing something. In fact I still need to pick up a Judith package.

I keep thinking I had to be on that day or miss out. Guess I'm wrong but I haven't been doing the Gunsmith stuff too long. Thanks.

Gonna pick up that DIS-47 package too.

 

[Agent_Tiro]

Raze Lighter with Void Burn on? There's a better option with Dark Drinker.

Wasn't aware of any burns on it. I was just giving generic advice from things I do when I run that strike. But yeah with void burn dark drinker will work well.

 

[Hedera]

I keep thinking I had to be on that day or miss out. Guess I'm wrong but I haven't been doing the Gunsmith stuff too long. Thanks.

Yea you're good to go get it. I know there's something that goes away when Xur leaves on Sunday. Not sure if its the packages or the test weapons.

<3 Gunsmith. Dude doesn't get enough recognition. On rare occasions he bring the goods.

 

[Darryl M R]

Oh god I just re-installed and I have zero idea what's going on, getting Triumph prompts, there's apparently Sparrow Horns now, I got an emblem for reasons I don't understand and I have NO idea what I was doing skill or gear-wise; I appear to have been leveling exotic armors or something? I hate coming back to loot games like this after long absences lol

Edit: oh god what

Wait those free loot boxes add up every week? So I don't have to log in to try to get one?

 

[X-Frame]

Vote X-Frame 2016.

I just hate Chroma. It's ridiculous that you need to A) find a suitable armor piece that has perks you want, then B) re-roll that items Chroma to get the one you want, wasting glimmer, and it's all quite pointless (to me) unless you have all items, maybe minus an exotic, that has chroma or else it looks funny.

Ornaments seem a lot better to me, but I'm not entirely sure how they work right now.

Question for someone who might potentially buy into Destiny:

Is there a new Legendary edition with all content coming out? Or is that something they'll push out down the road. I don't know how they handled it last time as I wasn't paying attention.

How does I Destiny cheap?

Destiny: The Collection is 60$ and includes all content + Rise of Iron. If you buy it digitally you can actually start playing Destiny right now.

 

[oSoLucky]

Neverfade, if you live in NA, the best option if you want to play now is to get Destiny TTK from Toys R Us for $20 and get RoI for $30 separately. If you want to wait, you can save $2 using Amazon Prime or GCU. Best Buy should price match TRU also.

 

[Dave_6]

<3 Gunsmith. Dude doesn't get enough recognition. On rare occasions he bring the goods.

That's a good one. I've got one that's pretty good but I'm holding another package and waiting on a perfect one to show up.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Ornaments seem a lot better to me, but I'm not entirely sure how they work right now.

Yeah, looking forward to it.

I don't hate Chroma— though I accidentally deleted it from some armour when switching my build frantically at the start of a match. I just dump it in my vault every week and occasionally apply it to a gun. It's mostly just six stacks in the General tab of my vault.

<3 Nova Bomb

Nice. Check out my magic trick. I know it's PvE, but wait for it.

IHow many kills can you get using only a sidearm during Angel of Light?

Ew, sunsinger. May try that with Tlaloc sometime— especially Inferno. Used Empyrean Bellicose and a Hand of Judgement with Icarus during an Inferno game to good effect.

Guess I'm wrong but I haven't been doing the Gunsmith stuff too long.

Yeah, you have until Xür leaves. Hold out for a max stability full auto DIS-47.

 

[Majek]

DIS-47 is not worth the trouble. It's TTK is abyssmal in practice. You'll be dying plenty or they'll get away with a sliver of health.

DIS-43 is better and especially if you're comparing both with full auto.

Still MIDA would probably kill you faster than either. Sadly.

I had like 20 of them when I logged in last week. I hadn't played since March.

How many pieces of Desolate gear came out of it?

I Divided the boxes into my 3 toons. Each only got 1 piece

Even though I know its RNG, I kinda wish I had dumped all of them into 1 character.

Anyone else storing their legendary and exotic engrams until the 20th?

Yes. If nothing else it's a bank of shards and marks.

Just the exotic engrams for me. Maybe sublime stuff if I ever come across them. Don't know if that stuff will decode to newer gear, but I sure as heck am going to try.

Off to Google search I go.

Sublime engrams are for PlayStation exclusive armor sets. So if you're on Xbox then...

[BoBoThunder]

I think the Mida has finally corrupted me. I was doing the primary kills weekly bounty last night. Was having a terrible time with my pulse rifle on Shores of Time. Was dead last. Then, after getting my last kill with the pulse(second kill of the match with less than 5 mins remaining), I switched to Mida and went on a 8 kill streak. Am I ruined to stick with the Moda forever? Only time will tell.

 

[Nirolak]

I apologize if this is old:

GC: Now, talking to developers one of the favourite phrases is that they’re ‘listening to the fans’. But there are still a lot of things in Destiny – matchmaking in Raids, for example – that they’ve been asking for for years and they still haven’t got. So how do you know which suggestions to listen to and which not?

SC: We are absolutely listening, and we’re absolutely thinking about stuff, and we are also absolutely prioritising the things that we want to do. So we’ve prioritised, in a lot of cases, giving players new adventures and new experiences. And then things like private matches, this is the right time to bring that into the game. So, I think it’s just about us trying to make the things that we think are the most impactful for each release. And constantly looking at stuff that people are talking about.

GC: So matchmaking for Raids is not off the cards?

SC: No, no. We’ve been thinking about that a lot.

[MrDaravon]

Awake and off for the day, time to see if I can figure out how to play this game and also deal with my vault/inventory situation, wheeee

Are there any particularly good faction weapons to aim for at the moment? Or to put it another way, what should I be spending my marks on if anything? When I stopped playing Hung Jury was all the hotness and I've already got that. Tempted to just link to my profile for inventory help, but I'm not going to waste people's time helping me sort through like 100 items lol.

As an aside I just got the PS Gold Headset recently and I'm really liking the Destiny Profile setting for it

 

[FyreWulff]

Only if it's some in-game dungeon finder. Pressing a button and going into a Raid a minute later isn't going to work.

 

[SlimySnake]

So I joined Kadey's train thinking I could do the Jolly Holiday quest by staying back and picking off kills but nope. SSBM makes it way too hard to do anything. we were getting flanked, spawns kept flipping, snipers, shotgun rushers. After an hour my progress was still 0%.

Went to play some rounds on my own and got up to 31% in just two games. Then had two bad games (around 1 KDR) and went back down to 9%. A couple of bad games later, I am down to 0% after wasting 3 hours in crucible. I dont know how this shit works.

I swear its not counting some of the kills.

 

[BoBoThunder]

I apologize if this is old:

I was just reading that. Kinda contradicts what Deej was saying on IGN's Fireteam chat last week (how Matchmaking will not be available for Raids in Destiny. Use our forums, etc.).

I'll just keep using this or LFG if I need others.

 

[Mixolydian]

I apologize if this is old:

Old or not, it's (welcome) news to me. Especially after what I thought to be a pretty clear stance on raid matchmaking.

 

[Ryck]

Just a headsup for potential buyers Walmart also has TTK legendary edition for $19.99

 

[The Lamonster]

Yeah it's hard for me too, bro.

When I get back home and Trials is out, or when ROI comes out, I'll be sad. I know he wouldnt want us too, but I won't be able to help it. The Gamescom reveal made me hyped for the first time for ROI and then now I feel empty inside.

Lauren's message + the tribute video &#128557;&#128557;&#128557;

Can someone link to this tribute video?

I am so glad I did this when SRL was on, and it counted for that quest. Would never have done it otherwise.

 

[MrDaravon]

I apologize for already asking questions, you might see a lot of this from me today

-Is Destiny Item Manager (?) still a thing? Would be handy right now.

-I have a TON of planetary resources in my vault, outside of maybe keeping a stack or two for nodes on leveling up gear is there any particular reason to hoard these right now? Should I just dump them for faction rep, or is there a reason with Rise of Iron or something else to hold onto them for right now?
