Gotcha.

How much harder is that difficulty level?

It's level 30, you have to be 29+

Nothing under, every gear piece should be fully leveled up + Void Weapons full maxed also
Hard Raid is unforgiving, you die, can't respawn till next checkpoint

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

I'm stuck in a weird mode of wanting to quit Destiny forever and not wanting to play anything else ever again. Very confused. Well... addicted. What do?

 

[Bizazedo]

33,266 kills. I might play too much.

Btw, I know Nibzy, but if anyone else is running PvP groups, please add me. PSN Bizazedo. I am running solo farrrr too much.

 

[FloatingDivider]

I'm so burnt out, I wanted level 30 so bad. I reached for the sun and got burnt by ass shards. Such is life.

 

[Orochinagis]

I thought I did a decent amount of her missions and only got to 1.5 rep. How different is the second shader.

Its just a little darker coloration of the first one and less yellow

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Alright, I'm giving up on Bad Juju until it gets a buff. Going to finish the Invective bounty and use that for the exotic slot. Tried nightfall with it again, this time the damage was upgraded twice I think, I can't take down even half a shield on anything with a full clip. This means that unless the enemy is bottom of the rung cannon fodder, I might as well not switch to the primary. The other, larger issue is not having a mic really hampers things if the other players aren't on the same page.

Going to press on in the crucible until rank three, I only have a quarter of the bar left anyway, and get myself a proper primary.

How many upgrades does your Bad Juju have? Mine has a long way to go, I'm just using it when I do solo missions so it's upgraded when the buff drops.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Just got an amazing kill cross map on Bastion with Gjallarhorn tracking + Wolfpack... Beautiful.

 

[Yu Narukami]

I finished the story with my alt yesterday. Since I didn't want to see the ending cutscene I quit when the countdown hit. Problem is I only got the Mote of Light from the Speaker. How do I get the blue Pulse Rifle now?

Anybody?

 

[FloatingDivider]

Anybody?

Finish it again, watch the cutscene, pray.

 

[Tovarisc]

Anybody?

You can get that rifle only once, when finishing story for first time. No?

 

[Tekku]

Okay, me and my buds are nearing our first try for the raid. Any tips for us when we approach this challenge? Some of us are good players, others are above average. There will be some confusion just with how we are going to communicate things, but I expect us to pull through sooner or later.

And how useful are Titans? I'm the only one in the team so far. :s

 

[Orochinagis]

Anybody?

It adds at your inventory as a blue lvl 16 primary gun

 

[someday]

Anybody?

Maybe you can go back to that mission and select "resume." Looks like you need to watch the cutscene to get the pulse rifle.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Yeah. It seems like I need to redo that mission. I'm only level 18. If I were 20 I wouldn't care for that Rifle.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Looking forward to running the raid again this week, would be nice to go with a few of the same guys that managed it this week. Was a good laugh with people dying and not getting too stressed about it. Plus I also know what to do now, although I wasn't the cause of the plentiful wipes!

 

[Chitown B]

final boss, Vault of Glass. Servers dropped everyone.

How many upgrades does your Bad Juju have? Mine has a long way to go, I'm just using it when I do solo missions so it's upgraded when the buff drops.

I used Bad JuJu long enough to nearly fully upgrade it. Mostly because I love the way it looks, but it isn't a good gun at all right now. Why I feel that way:

• The clip is incredibly small, and this fact alone makes it useless in PvP
• 'String of Curses' upgrade is really cool, but it doesn't do you any good if the enemies your shooting at can't be killed within that tiny ass clip
• It sounds like a pea shooter

I'll keep it around because again I really like the way it looks, but man that gun will get you killed if your not just smacking around lowly level 4's in patrol.

 

[Orthogonal]

Looking for someone to team up with for the Weekly Heroic Strike. I'm only lvl 24, so probably need to do the 22.

[Paertan]

final boss, Vault of Glass. Servers dropped everyone.

That sucks but you will have a checkpoint so just go in again

 

[Milennia]

Ok since I have had bad luck finding groups I will be forming one for Wednesday 8pm EST

This will be for heroic/hard mode vault of glass

29 plus being the requirement as it's needed.

Please send me a pm if you are generally interested so I can add your name to the list


My PSN is cyborg1

This will be a weekly run and my first time attempting hard mode so any experience is appreciated as well as being vocal with a mic

It does look sick, love the green light and skull. I agree the clip size is shite but I did the daily heroic on level 24 last night with it. As for PvP I wouldn't even attempt it right now, as you say it's useless there.

 

[BigJonsson]

Anyone want to join me finishing the 22 weekly? I need it for a bounty, I'm at the land tank

 

[CrackaF3tt]

Well, easier said than done Seems like if Anyone died than the whole group just domino-effect crumbled under added pressure. We did fine up to Atheon, so I don't know, maybe we were just tired...and I don't think we had any special exotic rocket launchers to help out

Of course. Yea when some dies everyone needs to know what to do incase that happens. It seems being on the outside of the portal people tend to drop rather quickly. When you come out the portals you should also help kill the harpies for shooting the boss.

 

[Stratosphere]

I need 26 more ass shards to get to lvl 29 yayyyy........

I'm not sure how much more grinding I can take lol

I'm sitting at 267 damage, so the damage upgrade right before the second column of 3 is unlocked. If you want to know how borked it is compare it to any of your favorite blue(or legendary) auto rifles or pulse rifles.

My level 20 blue pulse rifle(painted suros BZL) is appreciably better in every stat category except rate of fire, however the impact rating advantage over Bad Juju is greater than rate of fire's penalty, how about that? Then there's my Silvered Hushwind(level 20 blue again) auto rifle, flat out better in every category. And yes, better impact with rate of fire almost maxed, and more than doubled mag. And yes again, a good bit more range. That's just insulting, even though there's the opportunity to even that out later if you pick the right perk.

String of curses sounds cool until you realize that end game enemies won't be going down in 3-5 bursts...


EDIT: For the lulz, the Stranger's Rifle doubles impact with barely any loss of fire rate and is better everywhere else too.

EDIT2: This is now the definitive "why Bad Juju sucks" post. 267, a full clip just barely takes off a level 8 captain's(fallen) shield. That's right kids, all precision damage, just the shield.

 

[airjoca]

Thorn, Bad Juju or Fate of all Fools, which one should I go for?

 

[darthbob]

Thorn, Bad Juju or Fate of all Fools, which one should I go for?

You seriously got a Bounty for Fate of All Fools?

I'd go for that.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Make an alt and do a daily Public Event plus one with your main. Most Public Events can be done with a low-level chara. If you are lucky you can get 4 Ass Shards per day.

 

[UnluckyKate]

You seriously got a Bounty for Fate of All Fools?

I'd go for that.

There is a bounty for that one ? Never heard of it

 

[darthbob]

There is a bounty for that one ? Never heard of it

I don't think it should be attainable yet as the requirements for the Bounty would have you compete in the Trials of Osiris.

 

[Chitown B]

That sucks but you will have a checkpoint so just go in again

yeah, we were just on a roll. it was late anyway.

 

[airjoca]

You seriously got a Bounty for Fate of All Fools?

I'd go for that.

My bad, read an exotic bounty list by order and figured it would be the same but no, it's:

Thorn
Bad Juju
Invective

Which should I go for?

 

[darthbob]

My bad, read an exotic bounty list by order an figured it would be whee sane but no, it's:

Thorn
Bad Juju
Invective

Which should I go for?

It's pretty much unanimous that Invective is the best of those three. I've got both Bad Juju and Invective and the shotgun is loads better.

 

[Tekku]

Invective. It's the only safe choice atm. Thorn and Bad Juju will get upgrades in a future patch, but it's hard to tell what they are actually gonna do with them.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Looking for someone to team up with for the Weekly Heroic Strike. I'm only lvl 24, so probably need to do the 22.

PS4, Khorgano

I'm looking to do it, as well.

I could try you later on. I'm level 26 with my alt.

We could try the level 26 one. I have another guy who is a good level for it.

 

[hillsighed]

Welp.

I'm doing the exotic bounty for the invective right now and got to the kill/death spread of 25 in Crucible part. Thought it would take awhile but I did it in two matches.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

It's pretty much unanimous that Invective is the best of those three. I've got both Bad Juju and Invective and the shotgun is loads better.

I second this notion. I also own both and the shotgun is WAY better.

 

[Carn82]

lucky you. I somehow manage to get to 23 of 24 before things go bad ;(

 

[Krogan]

I have Thorn, Invective, Pocket Infinity, Super Good Advice and I just got the Bad Juju bounty, is there anything left to get from bounties aside from rep/xp?

 

[Tekku]

Welp.

I'm doing the exotic bounty for the invective right now and got to the kill/death spread of 25 in Crucible part. Thought it would take awhile but I did it in two matches.

It's by far the easiest Crucible related bounty challenge.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Is Iron Banner starting tomorrow?

 

[dreamstation]

Is anyone up for the weekly strike? Level 22 or 26? I'm a level 25 Titan.

PSN: dreamstation01 if anyone is interested. Should be on for another 2 hours or so.

 

[nomis]

Just looking through my old youtube likes, I'm pretty sure everyone who thought Destiny was false advertised to them as something with tour-de-force story and mission structure never saw this video with Luke Smith explaining the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFRQlCX3Ygs

Watching this was literally the point where I said to myself "Ohhh shit this is what this game is... it's not just Halomasseffect... I've never liked the kinds of games they seem to be drawing inspiration from, but maybe I could actually get into it if I tried". Also it became obvious that the single Raid at launch would have much bigger "design production values" than the rest of the game, so I knew what to expect from the Strikes.

Beat VoG tonight on our third week's try, in about 1.5 hours and only one team wipe on Atheon. Loved every minute.

 

[darthbob]

Is Iron Banner starting tomorrow?

Indeed.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Screw this... Was doing the weekly again to get Invective, killed the tank then went AFK for 10 minutes. Upon my return I was returned to orbit. So I assumed that I had a checkpoint, reloaded the heroic strike at the same difficulty, launched, and the mission started again. :/

bungle y u do dis?

 

[Marvel]

I hope Xur sells Hawkmoon next week.

 

[darthbob]

I hope Xur sells Hawkmoon next week.

Probably not gonna happen because Xbox.

 

[Marvel]

Probably not gonna happen because Xbox.

Damn it, forgot about that

 

[toastyToast]

Either I'm going to do really well maining hand cannon or I'll get eviscerated by all the auto in Iron Banner.
