it doesn't help that the strike playlist auto loads the next game. i'm used to going to orbit on my own, so i've been stuck in a few unwanted strikes before.
AFKing the whole match though probably isn't an accident.

Amazing.

It's crap without upgrades though so it's quite painful to carry it around for the first couple of hours. I still haven't gotten the full-auto upgrade, which is a drag, so I keep switching to other weapons. I feel like I'm never gonna get it.
Fucking up the economy in this game would be like fucking up the economy in Zimbabwe.
Woohoo, Cryptarch be praised,RNGesus love me.
my lvl10 care package contained 2 legendry engrams and a blue, 2 ass shards, a legendary chest piece, which was melted for 3 shards, and the swarm. Then my care package from crucible rank 3 contained the final boss.
With the shards my exotic chest piece is now fully upgraded.

Wish I would have thought to stop and "Wave" after it happened. I was just laughing too hard.

I agree completely I just wish that they'd also stop giving me purple engrams for classes other than my own. Why the hell did they not patch this when they patched what the engrams give I wonder. I'm 48 hours in now and not a single legendary gear drop that I can use.
You do. It's a whole mini-goal in my first guide!
It's not. Without upgrades it's a decent fusion rifle with solid range and crazy high impact. Its charge time is just high as an offset (learn to "cook" the blast, especially in PvP).It's crap without upgrades though so it's quite painful to carry it around for the first couple of hours.

Equip it along with fully maxed other items when turning in bounties to level it quickly. You could max it without ever firing it if you so chose.

one of the few items remaining in-game that can make me jelly...

I should stop beating the decomposing horse but I just can't get over it sometimes. It's ALMOST funny at this point.

Congratulations to Maledict for his Vanquisher VIII drop and super-congratulations with a dash of jelly to DoctorPayne for the Suros Regime present at the end of this week's nightfall!
I "only" got 12 ascendant energy, but it was fun so (also first legendary from rare engram: LIGHT/Beware double )

(also first legendary from rare engram: LIGHT/Beware double )Welcome to GAF. What are you cursing in that image? That everyone got a blue and you didn't? Whoopitidoo.
Was that gentle enough?
It really is.
Yeah I know but I still can't help but feel slighted by the lord of engrams, long may he reign.

Congrats.
At this point, I feel like this game is self-aware and actively trying to annoy me in any way possible. So after doing the Raid for the third time and only receiving a so-so shotgun and a second Chatterwhite while still not having obtained any piece of Raid armor, I go and do the Nightfall. Guess what? For the first time I actually got an Exotic from it!
Sunbreakers.
The one piece of Exotic armor I already own.
That thing that has been sold by Xur for three out of four visits.
C'mon, just give me something...
I'll get my FWC Rank to 2 for the HC/SR Chest Armor and maybe collect some Vanguard Marks for a Rare Sparrow, but then I'm ready to put this game down for a while and go to Mordor. I just have nothing to work towards in Destiny anymore... I have no real use for the vendor Legendaries, I can't control getting Exotic bounties or what Exotic bounties I'll get, I can't influence the dice rolls on whether I'll get Raid armor or not, I can't influence my chances of getting loot from the Crucible, I cannot choose to take on tougher enemies to get a better chance at loot, etc.
The only reliable sources for late-end-game progression are Xur ( only on weekends ), The Raid ( weekly lockout ) and Nightfall ( weekly lockout ), all three of which ( by pure chance and RNG ) have pretty consistently not given me anything I need to make any sort of progress.

Played five or so matches of iron banner.
There may be just a slight difference in the way the game feels but it's pretty close to crucible. If you didn't tell me I would think it's crucible mode.
They really need to give access to max light gear some other way than raiding and the iron banner would've been a perfect match for that.

Thanks!
It didn't take long. I had 46 kills from last week's nightfall. It took just 40 minutes to get the rest.

I got my first lucky drop after 30 odd hours of play....and just after grinding through Vanguard 2 and buying all my legendary gear!
Care package from leveling rahool dropped 3 legendary engrams, which all turned into equipable legendary chests for my character - a warlock! Chances of all 3 being my class were around 4% and that's ignoring the chance of dropping 3 legendaries at once.
Shame they were all virtually identical to the one I had to buy from the vanguard vendor 3-4 hours beforehand!
A reasonable drop of ass shards though (each one gave 3).
I've also got enough coins to buy an exotic piece when Xur arrives later this week, so after getting a little stuck at level 23 I should be able to get to 27 and then 28 if I grind.

RNGesus shows its true power in Crucible. One time, I had back-to-games of ~3.2 K/D ratio only to get nothing. Some random in the last game got The Last Word with 0 kills.
Blessed based RNGesus indeed.

Did the Nightfall. What did I get? The same handcannon I got last week, the Venation III. Thanks Destiny.

Ah, what a joke. Beat the nightfall and got 6 strange coins... I am definitely in an abusive relationship.
Struggled really hard with Nightfall with hEist22 from on here, unfortunately we did not make it.
Last week was much easier. I kept getting caught by random Hobgoblin shots, and the boss part is just annoying, the waves are big and I just got caught.
Really want to clear the Nightfall but I'll probably end up skipping this one.

What control scheme is everyone using? I've been using Puppeteer, which maps crouch to the right stick, for about week now and god damn if this shouldn't have been the default button layout. The core gameplay is nearly flawless imo, but it bugged the shit out of me having to take my finger off aim to slide and crouch(both of which are extremely useful). Now feel as though I have complete control over my character. The ability to strafe, turn, and aim while seamlessly crouching for better accuracy as needed makes a tremendous friggin difference.

Are you just starting? Have you done it already? Normal or Hard? If Yes, Yes, Normal - I am game - I need to get over my failure with the nightfall
