Yeah now that I think about it, I do haha
I'm not doing the whole raid.
I have a hunter 29 in the checkpoint at atheon. But i can't cheese him as a hunter. I want to bring one of my friends and they are 27 or 28 mostly. They wait there while i switch to my titan 28.
Cheesed atheon yesterday on my warlock. Today i see that two guys got vex and helmet. I got nothing. I'm really pissed.
Raid helmet does drop on normal, it's just a different color and name.
Not sure, I'm new to them too but I'd assume more close range cannons have faster rate of fire and perks/upgrades to increase reload speed.
But the vendor Lord High Fixer seems to fire as fast as I pull the trigger and it has an option for faster reload if I need it, but also option for greatly increased range and accuracy if I need that. I don't really know what else could be better besides unique perks.
I have boots and a chest piece that give increased hand cannon ammo and gauntlets that increase hand cannon reload speed. My armor has been telling me which primary to focus on for quite awhile! I shall listen.
I also noticed that because of that, Field Scout doesn't seem to give much more reserve ammo. I assume it doesn't take into account armor bonuses.

Damn right
I'm sprint cancelling to help. It's still absurd though. Man, I like this mofo. I've had it for like 3 weeks. Never bothered to level it till now.

Seems strange since they see you with your back turned to them, why would looking down help?
Long as you don't sprint or double jump you can usually run past them really easily.
Whoa, I never thought about this. It's like Medusa turning people to stone when they look at her (she was a Gorgon too, hence the name). If you don't look, you're fine.

Ahh its alright I'm at work any way but if you are going to attempt it on an alt just send an invite
Alright guys, I need some advice: I'm sitting at 28 with plenty of legendary gear that needs upgrading via shards to get me to 29 (at which point I will hopefully start trying hard mode raids). Should I focus my time on doing event loop runs or this week's Nightfall?
My reasoning for Nightfall being that the group I was in last night completed it pretty easily via cheese spots. Is the loot I can potentially get from this worth running repeatedly while it's still available?

You only get rewads for nightfall and weekly once a week. If you do it again you'll get nothing. Unless you have alts.

Debating making a third alt for raid and weekly benefits. But I don't see the point and I would hate to replay the story mode again. God if I can't get my last 2 raid gear this week with my 2 characters then I think level 30 isn't in my future.
Also I've been neglecting DriveClub for this game

RoF and Impact are the same, Range is a bit lower and there's no perk to increase it, Stability is higher and there's a perk to almost fill up the entire bar, and reload is about the same. Clip is 10 shots and no perk to increase it as well.
The main perks mine has are reload faster when clip is empty and chance to return bullet to clip on missed shots. There's a multiple choice perk that has agility +2, the mentioned increased stability, or explosive rounds.

Is Ska ok?
He must be mad... why? because you two assholes waited for me to reconnect after I got kicked by the servers... and what was my reward? Hehehehe. I regret nothing.
I'd love to read more of your impressions on the Fixer and, when/if possible, how it compares to Devil.
Huh, someone I played with yesterday suggested rewards could be grinded. Alright, thanks!
By the same token, I understand raid chests don't respawn after completion (before weekly wipe) but bosses still drop ascendant mats/gear. Worthwhile to continue running raids?

yup, just got evil within last night and havnt even unwrapped it yet. probably wont until November. this fucking game......
has its hooks in me hard

well my Shadowprice is no longer a tack driver. sad days..
honestly though I am ok with that, Its still super deadly at close range (like an AR should) it was crazy the stability and range it had.
there is a place for SR now and I love that.

That sounds pretty great. I'd say it's worth maxing out for sure. Really, most of the hand cannons are good.

Ok I think I may have secretly sacrificed a goat in my sleep or something. I never play PVP and I got the Dubious Task exotic bounty and have been dredding the 25 kill spread in PVP part. Well after my first match I already had a 22 kill spread, went on a major tear with my heavy machine gun in the match. 2nd match I got 3 kills without dying and completed that portion of the exotic bounty.
Of course I never use shotguns, so not sure how much I'll use Invective, but another exotic sure doesn't hurt after being shut out for over a 100 hours of gameplay before I finally got one.

Helped a super casual work friend through Nightfall. He and other real life buds were slinging Pulse Rifles to give you an idea of how casual (he even thought Hunters were underpowered in PvP).
End of the Nightfall, he got The Last Word.
I was able to congratulate him, but it hurt.

i thought that was so easy... The crucible bounties that make me sweat are the 10 triple kil without reloading medals..ugh

Still upset about not buying the icebreaker over the weekend. I have 24 strange coins saved up for the regime if it ever shows up again.
Will do! I also have a dropped versio of the Devil but I don't think it is as good as the vendor one. It has very low range but explosive rounds, which are fun but I don't like how they reduce the precision damage by 50%.
I'll be maxing out the Lord High Fixer asap though. I also want to do some general tests on the range because the vendor one has Rangefinder which further increases the range as well -- so maybe I won't even need the Send It upgrade unless I'm basically sniping with it. Otherwise the fast reload will be more useful if Send It is overkill.
Are pulse rifles that awful? I've been using Bad Seed Down which I got from a random drop and it's OK.
I helped the same guy and his buds through the normal raid. One normal raid, he pulled in Epilogue, Corrective Measures, the Rocket Launcher, and the legendary normal ship. His main complaint?
He really just wanted the shader.
Yes. I think The Stranger's Rifle is actually one of the better ones?

Yeah my only wories compared to TDYK are the lack of range for distance headshots and lower ammo capacity. The stability perk seems to be pretty great.
Tell him I've got that damn thing every run, he can have em...

Was out of town over the weekend so sadly missed the icebreaker at Xur. Got plenty of coins for this weekend though so I hope he's got something good!
Maxed out my raid gauntlets. I'm going to try and save my materials for another raid armor drop.
Managed to do the weekly and nightfall yesterday-- I love getting the nightfall done early so I can reap the bonus for the rest of the week.
A friend of mine has been sitting on the game for almost two weeks but can't connect to PSN and, therefore, to Destiny. Are there weird PSN outages in different places? He's in Texas (outside Houston) and he says another friend can't connect either.

I got the Hawkmoon after NF last night.
One dude in my group wanted it so badly. I only kind of wanted it. Pretty sure he is not happy with me right now.
I think hes finally bored of Destiny after hitting level 30 and is currently experiencing a guardian identity crisis. The only thing that could truly fix him emotionally would be the Hawkmoon at this point
Felt really good to just play for a long while again last night. I'll get to do so again tonight and then it's back to another week of not really getting to play at all (woooo remote play for Xur though!) only wound up getting to do some crucible on my warlock, but had some pretty great matches with a completely unupgraded SUROS Regime. felt very uncivilized compared to my playstyle on my hunter, but I've decided to embrace everything I loathe with my sunsinger. i'm going to be sooooo frustrating to fight against when he's fully unlocked/geared/built. Right before bed I unlocked the "zoom for slower ROF and higher damage"........ my god. For someone already used to needing headshots, it's a bit, er, well. Gun should be renamed the SUROS Whatnerf.
You should absolutely do at least one Public Event per day and your Daily Heroic story at 28 to maximize you chances for shards. Beyond those, the only non-RNG source of them is to buy armor with marks and dismantle it for shards. Chest/boots/gauntlets only- helms are more expensive.
Admittedly, comparing it to my Shingen-E use, I did feel the difference with auto rifle usage from pre-patch, though it's still perfectly possible to stomp face with one. I honestly think they're in a pretty good place overall now, with specific guns (Doctor Nope, Hard Light) needing some simple stability buffs to compete.
Well, you should be completing your Nightfall and Weekly Heroic each week, but you only get rewards for each once per week. Hope I didn't misunderstand your question.

SR > all else!
that would be neat.

Nightfall anyone? Planning to use cheese spots for easy victory.

What's good about it? I see that it has full auto, but other than that it seems worse. My drop Bad Seed Down has headseeker which I think is giving it a boost over the vendor version, btw.
I'm not going to say it's the best gun but they're not so bad.
Unrelated - I just hit level 26, will I be a huge weight around the neck of a normal raid group? I want to do the raid but am worried that I won't be able to contribute much.

Wow the new farming room is almost as good as the cave, actually better since you can solo it and gain more XP per minute.

Is the raid on tonight? If so, shoot me an invite. My friend who I keep trying to play with can't connect to PSN so chances are he won't be up for our weekly coop. Anyway, I need more raid gear.
I am not an expert on pulses. I have Muscular Dystrophy, so any weapon that has repeated trigger pulls is bad for me. I vastly prefer auto rifle / auto mod weapons as a result.
That being said, I think the main problem with pulses isn't that they're horrible, it's that they don't have a role others don't perform as well / better?

Finished the Thorns PvP bouny in just under 1,5 hours. Did pretty well. Had a major set-back thanks to some user using the Mythlocast
Damn, that ding is still beastly.
All that is left is the Xyor the Unwed part... time to scramble a Fireteam.

ha.
We were in an Atheon hard cheese two nights ago. My friend's friend jumped in the room,
Him: "What are you guys doing, how are you going to beat him with only 3 people."
Us: Just shut up and keep killing yourself when you spawn.
*clumsy Atheon
Him: "Whats a Vex Mythoclast?"
Only one in the group to get one.

Motivate me to finish the bounty...
It's even better when you slap Send It on and use it to snipe people across the map. The range is insane.
