Actually I find Rusted Lands much more fun than Burning Shrine. Burning Shrine has a habit of becoming a cluster of shotgun-melee because there's almost zero sightlines while Rusted Lands has a solid mix of areas with good sightlines and close quarters areas.

In some things like running, I'm sure, but not in other things based on your replies.
What?

I think my friends and I have been playing this game too much
me: day's almost over...
Friend 1: almost time to pump some iron
Friend 2: going to the gym?
or...are we talking relic iron lol?
because if thats the case...im going to spin class
Friend 1:Can we create a Destiny Spin class and just call it Spin metal?
Friend 1: we can play Metal while they are working
every once in a while we can throw a colored ball at them and tell them to "catch the Engram"
Friend 1:Have the instructor dress up like Master Rahool.
Friend 1
Friend 1: If they take a drink we can keep an eye on them and if they go for another sip we can slap the bottle out of their hands THAT SHIT IS ON COOLDOWN BRO
"even" a hawkmoon, how does it feel to be dead to me J-Rzez?
i don't understand, do shotguns still need to be toned down or do fusion rifles? i like fusion rifles; it's nice that there's any alternative for extreme-CQC to shotguns, and I'm someone who really likes shotguns in games.
it's also funny to hear "barely any mid-long range", last night it was "everyone is sitting at the edges of the map with scout rifles." my matches, I still absolutely for sure wound up being killed by "some auto rifle or another" a majority of the time. *shrug!*
Sure, I could be up for the Hard Raid at 9PM EST if we have a group of level 29+ with appropriate weapons.
I love everything on there with the possible exception of the vote for strike screen.

When are you guys doing it?
I've played this game for over 80 hours now but I'm yet to do a raid. I can take instructions, tho.
psn id: silvertonguebr
Available right now.
Edit: Level 28 Sunsinger Warlock.

How much Light does each upgrade give in the last column of Raid gear? I'm sitting at 104 Light and have a Raid Chest upgraded until Shards are needed. I thought I read it was 2, 3, 3, but I'm having trouble finding anything to confirm that. I have enough Shards to get 2 upgrades which would get me to 29 if it is in fact 2, 3, 3. Anyone know?
Honestly, after the patch, the plan c is now the best fusion rifle.

That's because Burning Shrine is one of the maps that only pops up on 6 player total game modes. So 3v3 or DM types.
Edit: Also, I'd actually like to see a 2v2v2 game mode of some kind added in the future if possible. I think it could be a ton of fun. Lore wise, it could be explained off as the 3 factions against each other at the same time.
well, one absolutely inexplicable flaw dying to be corrected is the fact that the same strike can repeat multiple times in a row on the playlists. If you're staying with the same fireteam, why is there even a 0.00001% chance of this happening? just roll for "strike other than currently flagged strike." I don't get it
I swear some people will not be satisfied until shotguns are only effective once the barrel of the gun is inside your characters mouth.
Yeah, my Centauri had uninspiring perks (kneeling?), and I just found it kicked like a mule. Was nothing available to upgrade stability or accuracy, and it just didn't feel very point-able...if that makes sense?
Instantly, The Calling felt snappier and more precise. It's probably just separated by preference, but I've found it to be superior in applying accurate damage.
When it happened, I was playing Rumble.

Try almost 900 dmg crits at level 30
Just like any other scout rifle.
It doesn't.
Sad to hear that, I just can't fully get into a PvP where lower skill weapons win out over the greater skill precision weapons. It's all good though, Destiny is about an addicting, loot driven, co-op fare and I'll get the Master Chief collection for PvP. That said, I'll totally go for any remaining PvP trophies. This looks like a pretty easy game to Platinum with as much as I've played it. There's only one trophy I'm afraid of and that's the Flawless Raider. Even that one, I'm only truly nervous about the jumping puzzle, there's always at least one person that struggles with it.
Grimoire added to the game with all those stats?? Great to finally have that in there, a very nice addition indeed.

Yup. Classic Deathmatch mode with 6 players max.
Yap, would be much appreciated. Of course in a better quality design wise, but as for function it'd be very handy.
That tends to happen a lot whenever I hear the rumours around the original concepts. Still heartbroken that there aren't different story start points depending on class and or species.Those mock ups make me sad that it's not real
Is there a particular vendor sold scout rifle that you recommend for crucible (or maybe one or two)? I'd like to dabble with one eventually now that they're supposedly viable.
Raid gives 30 light total. 2,3,3.
I agree with you, but Bungie just coded it as "pick a random strike 1-6" instead of your algorithm. Why, I don't know.

Awesome. I was just hoping it wasn't something like 2,2,4 which would have left me short. Thank you.

To be fair, that's how WoW does it as well. There've been times where I've rolled the same dungeon 7 times in a row out of a list of 5 available.

burning shrine is in rumble, skirmish, salvage and trials of osiris.
God damnit RNGesus, I'm lvl 26 and only ever gotten 1! legendary drop. Have yet to get something exotic.
Played the Nightfall Strike and got my second legendary drop. And what do I get?
The same fucking weapon that I got as my first drop, well f u.
Meanwhile my friend got 2 legendary drops yesterday and came out of the Nightfall Strike with a exotic weapon. We started both characters at the same time, in fact we actually only play together.
I knew this could happen but you only read about it, you don't think it could happen to you.

If you have two ascendant shard upgrades for a raid legendary you're guaranteed to gain either 5 or 6 light.
I think I've had that happen 90% of the time I use Arc Blade, I'm pretty terrible with it. I usually get 1 kill then a panic super from a Titan takes me out :<. I don't think Sunsingers are intimidating enough for people to panic, but I so love getting multi-kills by sticking the fusion grenades on people. I usually do pretty well with just my post-nerf pocket infinity, though. That thing still wrecks.
I'm in, have upgraded weapons including fully upgraded epilogue, 29 titan. PSN: Sn1cky
Finally lvl 30.
I really love the Desert nomad look that Bungie is going for. Grats btw

OK, I'm officially a Hawkmoon fan. Didn't care too much about having one. But now that I do... damn.
Sorry Shadow Price/Ice Breaker load out... we need to do some different shit here to make room.

Bahahaha dude. Last night you sent me a PSN message saying you were in bed and not really paying attention and that you apologize.
I responded with "I don't care"
Hahahaha. Needless to say, I should not have been up still drinking at that hour.
We've all been there!
Once I stopped looking towards RNGesus, it became far more tolerable.
I used my faction leveling and Xur to give myself a decent foundation. Exotic armor from Xur, legendary pieces from the Vanguard. Later, I was gifted my first legendary primary for leveling the Vanguard to level 3.
Once you have that foundation, you can attack the higher level stuff, and RNGesus grants you bonuses, rather than lifelines.
My priorities each play session are bounties and strikes. These naturally level up my faction and provide marks. Once you hit 28, do the Nightfall ASAP to help with leveling.
Turn off notifications while you crucible. Keep your phone nearby if you have the app installed to get message notifications.
Did nightfall with all 3 of my characters. Warlock and Titan both got exotic helmets of their own classes; but I already have the Titan one. Hunter got Monte Carlo. I know it's shitty; but it looks cool. I don't mind having it in my collection.
Also did half a raid with some friends and got the Found Verdict and Praedyth's Revenge. I heard Praedyth is pretty good. I already have Ice Breaker and Patience and Time. I just don't see anything special with Praedyth. Am I missing something here?

Unfortunately I can literally only vouch for the Vanguard one with the crazy-ass, impossible to memorize name *googles* A.1F19X-Ryl. It's quite good if you're comfortable with your headshot skills. But admittedly, mine was a Rank reward rather than vendor purchased, so I can't really give a full review even of that one. Sorry :[
Remember that Scorch is a one-hit kill in Radiance as well. And yes, yes it does.
ahahahah yeah, I saw that and just kind of scratched my head and went back to my bounties, lol
Was in the same boat.No good weapons at all and now have so many exoctics and legendary weapond and armour that ove started dismantling them.

Posting this as a reminder:
Raid starts in 90 minutes.
Raid starts in 90 minutes.
Impossible. Unless you mean no legendary equipment but yes exotic equipment in which case -_-
Buy your first legendary boots/gauntlets/chest and you'll basically be raid-ready without any further action.
the cryptarch is a dick. expect no less.
