I am about to give up on this game. It has been fun, but I have reached a point where a feel it is fundamentally broken.

I am a level 24 hunter, and all I get are useless rare drops. I am rank 1 on vanguard and crucible, so I cannot purchase any armor that will increase my light level.

The amount of boring and repetitive grinding I would have to do to rank up my vanguard and/or crucible just isn't worth it to me.

Odd that you are only Vanguard rank 1 if you were doing bounties as you were going through the story. I was almost rank 2 after completing the story. Spent some time on patrol and in the lowest strike hopper and quickly hit level 2 and was able to buy some gear.

Reading, we totally made the Gate Lords a lot harder than need be...lol. We got it next time.

I had a feeling we were over thinking something
 
I need that Atheon rifle. Until I get that not doing the Thorn bounty. I can use fusion rifles, but not as my main weapon. I suck with shotguns right now.

use the radar and just point blank people with the shotgun. fusion personally is a lot harder to use even if its the purple one.
 
For those worried about the 500 void damage for the Thorn Bounty, I found it much easier to get that in Rumble, rather then Control or any other game type. Just equip a shotty or Fusion, and do your thing. Much easier to rack up points that way then worrying about control points or teammates. It took me a few hours as hunter, but I eventually got the points faster then when in Control.
 
Anyone got a Lucky Chest during a patrol since the last patch ?

I'm talking about those rare chests which contain 200+ glimmer, 10+ materials, a couple of blue engrams and/or ammo synthesis.

I've patrolled for several hours since the patch, must have opened more than a hundred chests but it's all the same single green crappy gear + 1 or 2 material.

I assume they quietly nerfed that, like the cryptarch leveling bullshit.
 
I find it baffling that Bungie, after all Halo games, stills is unable to properly remove and punish people AFKing. It always has been a huge problem with their games.
 
Stupid psn, destiny was extremely lagging then I realized nba2k15 was downloading in.the background. Why cant we pause such stuff..ugh!
 
I just don't play well in close quarters so I avoid it. I have become decent at PvP, but only if I play to my current strengths. I might give it a shot though.

truthfully i dont play pvp all that much in fpses these days but being smart, using the radar and generally sticking to areas more advantageous to cqc.

dont try to run out in the open too much since the ARs will still chew you apart. if you have to prevent a death by swapping weapons to take out another player do it. trying to focus purely on all kills with the void weapon usually leads to more deaths.

i completed all of mine in the deathmatch mode. figured it would be faster than the team based stuff.

Agreed. I tried playing while 2k was downloading earlier but the lag was too much. Had to wait it out... Which took a while considering the download was 47GB.

ive had several post patch. only change i saw with chests is possible spawn time adjustment
 
I got the ship my first week also and then the chatterwhite the next week. You'll probably get it next week. I believe 5 people get the chatterwhite while the 6th person gets the ship or sparrow. You were the lucky 6th person. Congrats!

Ah that totally makes sense. I noticed everyone seemed to get the shader but me. Don't feel so bad now.

I got two yesterday and one today.
 
Just beat Aetheon for the first time. Talk about one of the most frustrating, annoying, rewarding, and fun experiences. I ended up with chatterwhite and 3 ascendent energy, but overall should pray to RNGJesus for the loot I got throughout the raid (Raid chest, raid legs, Midas Multi-Tool, Found Verdict, Fragment of the Prime, and many Ascendent Energy). I know I'll be lucky to see another raid armor piece in the next 10 raids.

I got one last night while farming Relic Iron in the Vex area on Mars. It was actually my first one ever.
 
Yeah, my connection (or the destiny servers) isn't cooperating. I'll leave raiding for tomorrow, assuming it works. If you're looking to raid tomorrow on hard/normal, whatever, add me (PS4): SharkJAW
 
Second raid done! Got Chatterwhite again haha. Hopefully this means RNGesus will bless me with raid gear next week.

We had a solid group of gaffers, it was way smoother this time around.

I did at least 2 times since wednesday, but perhaps I'm insanely lucky ^^
 
So what's the story on Atheon's Epilogue?

Once upon a time, six power rangers with capes and coats had to travel into the past and future to kill a giant silver robot. There were these things called Oracles that took all day to kill. There were also these giant dickheads called Praetorians who had void shields.

One of the power rangers was tired of Atheon's shit and went into the future. He came back with this insane auto rifle that did void damage and ate Oracles and Praetorians for breakfast.

The power rangers used this gun, and Atheon went down.

The end.

Got to give a big thanks for the group that I raided with earlier today. Took us a handful of hours, and a couple of people dropped out. But we managed to finish on hard mode with a couple of new folks and I was super lucky to get a Mythoclast.

thanks guys!
 
2 quick questions.

if you level up all your legendary armor will you still be able to reach lvl 30? or is an exotic required to hit that mark?

and in order for me to do that im in need of a good amount of shards. is there any method to get a good amount of them daily? only ways i know how to get them are from selling legendary items and getting lucky and getting them from public events.

1) You need to have 3 pieces of raid gear and an exotic, all fully upgraded to reach level 30.

2) Do public events, buy legendary armor from Vanguard, Crucible, & Faction vendors then dismantle them, do the raid, do nightfall, etc.

Holy crap. Just finished my first VoG run aaaand... got nothing but the shader. We actually killed him post-mortem with sunsinger grenades (set him on fire). It started the countdown to fail us, and then froze up. Everyone got the shader and some got weapons, but we couldn't get to the results screen...I think we should get an award for that.

Also, another note, grenades do full damage even when time's revenge is not active! Go nuts!

Shoutout to Colonel_Skills, pmpjuice123, Wearethearmada, PrettyBad, and Aphex26 for an awesome run!

Here's a video of the last run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6fxsXjP65Q

So... so, it's, uh good?
 
Thorn doesn't really seem to be worth the amount of work it took to get. Just seems kinda underwhelming. It really needs that buff.
 
Anyone on Xbox One doing the raid tonight and need another guy? I've made it to Atheon with two separate teams, and then some people bailed, so I'd really like a chance to beat it. Also want to run the nightfall strike if anyone wants to join.

Let me know.

Got an exotics bounty. I don't really want any if these weapons. : / But I went with the pulse rifle. Figure that's closest to my style. Gonna take forever though.
 
X1 just allowed me to download the two expansions for the game. Very weird.


There's nothing new in game and each expansion is only 9.5 mbs. Also I own the expansion pass already.
