Welp by tonight all 3 my characters will be 28, Titan need XP to get it to 28

Warlock has been in limbo since 2nd week, 0 drops for it for armor, just shards & energy r' us
Hunter is 3 weeks old, has gotten 1 piece (the hardest piece, the head)
Titan is 2 weeks old, has gotten 1 piece (the hardest piece, the head)

Not with the cheese it isn't. Anyway nice! I still only have one character. Waiting for the raid boots to drop to reach level 30. Hard raid last night only got me the corrective measure and another warlock bond (my fourth one).

PvE seems to run on dedicated servers because it's relative lag [issue] free most of the time.

PvP has all signs of low quality P2P lobbying.



PvP has all signs of P2P lobbies combined with dedicated server that only does matchmaking portion before offloading to P2P host.

If it was P2P wouldn't we see more Host migrations or killed lobbies if the host leaves? I've never seen anything that looks like a Host migration.

You used the exactly same race/class types than mine.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Nothing worthwhile this week for me from Xur. First Nightfall I did provided SUROS, not giving up Knucklehead Radar for the chest piece, and I have some decent Exotic pieces for my future Warlock and Titan characters.

 

[Darryl M R]

Level 28 hunter looking to do normal raid. Anyone raiding soon?

Yup, if you don't farm with sound, you're just making it harder for yourself.

For the record, certain sound systems are shit at giving off this specific noise.

Tested this the other day. I've got a 5.1 surround sound in my basement. I can't hear chests or planet materials for shit. All the other ambiance drowns it out.

My wife, who is upstairs just has a crappy soundbar, and she can hear them from 20-30 meters away, and through walls.

the hunter raid gloves are so ugly :[

I feel like Light Suit Samus with dem Shoulders.

Yes I started playing with the Sony gold headset the other day and I hear so many little sounds that my audio system used to make it hard to discern... Like the sound of walking through puddles, and etc.

 

[Hawkian]

control's a lousy gametype anyway

Yay! i know things!

I think they should assign weighted points to the weapons types.

Say 8 points total.

exotic - 4 points
legendary - 2 points
rare - 1 point
uncommon - 0 points

Then, you could equip 2 exotics. Or 1 exotic and 2 legendaries. Or 3 legendaries. Basically, just have a system where I can level more than 1 damn exotic at a time...lol.

I totally see where you're coming from with this. it's very intriguing, but it would be quite tough to counteract the exacerbation of the existing PvE/PvP balance split, since Rare weapons are completely viable in the Crucible but very weak in PvE endgame. I'm imagining a Galahad-E/Pocket Infinity/Thunderlord build...
edit: ohgod, don't know why I didn't even think of a SUROS Regime/Pocket Infinity first. almost everyone who's been playing since launch would have a large chance to be able to run it. keep this away from meeee D:

 

[VexyWexy]

And since there's no Exotic boots yet, the Raid ones are absolutely necessary to reach level 30.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. I'm stuck praying for boots now ~.~

I dunno, it sounds fine for me. Depends on the area you're in. I've always found missable materials cuz I heard the sound around and looked further. Chests are the toughest but the mats are pretty easy to hear, imo. I use 7.1, not sure if that makes any difference.

 

[Nuszka]

Hi is anyone willing to help me out cheese atheon on hard, i am using titan right now , trying to solo it. Have been helping other people do it with my warlock at least 8 times this week , but strange when i need help no one seems to respond, experienced cheeser and ones that can do it before being teleported , any help much appriciated
edit psn on ps4 nuszka

 

[hillsighed]

Did Nightfall on my alt level 25 Titan and got the same helm my Warlock is already wearing. :/ Leveling this alt so I can do the Nightfall twice a week isn't working out quite like I thought it would so far.

 

[Darryl M R]

Hey Hawk what loadout are you using for your Hunter for both PVE and PVP?



Also looking for a raid team

Did Nightfall on my alt level 25 Titan and got the same helm my Warlock is already wearing. :/ Leveling this alt so I can do the Nightfall twice a week isn't working out quite like I thought it would so far.

You are suppose to have an alt the same class as your main. I have 3 hunter characters and did the nightfall 3 times in less than 1.5 hours

i'll add in my experience.

My regular ass stereo tv can't really output that chest hum very well but my stereo headset grabbing sound via hdmi capture card on my pc while I play can hear chests really clearly.

But i'll put that down to a headset being better for smaller sounds more then anything.

 

[Tovarisc]

If it was P2P wouldn't we see more Host migrations or killed lobbies if the host leaves? I've never seen anything that looks like a Host migration.

If Crucible is ran on dedicated servers then Bungie has managed to create game that has worse performance and is even more inconsistent than e.g. BF 4 was at its release. And BF 4 was terribad at release!

In theory they can use "Go to orbit" -time [button holding] to migrate hosting responsibilities at background.

Yeah, this was for PvE only. Let me use my shiny new toys, Bungie! PvP is such a mess to me that I wouldn't care if they made every gun in the game available to each player at the beginning of each match.

Ok thanks anyway, anyone need a 29 hunter for raiding?

 

[Darryl M R]

Joined 2 people who are level 29 and 28 to do the normal raid (from destinylfg). We need 3 more people, anyone down?

Ok thanks anyway, anyone need a 29 hunter for raiding?

Want to join a normal raid run. These two guys don't have mics but they have done the raid before (level 29 and 28)

Really, @Bungie???

This does not sound like a nerf part 2 is coming to Suros. I hope they learned that more nerf, does not equal more fun.

Momma taught me not to play with strangers

 

[kuppy]

Wait?!
Are Legendary Engrams class-specific? I found one for a helmet and boots with my Hunter, encrypted them with my Warlock and they were both Hunter armour. That's so annoying, my Hunter doesn't need armour, my Warlock does.
Oh and to top it off, I put a whole lot of engrams in the vault so when encrypting I hit a new Cryptarch level. The reward was a legendary helmet engram, and guess what it turned into. Ascendant Energy. Gosh dammit!

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Bungie really needs to fix map selection so you don't have to play the same map twice in a row.

Hey, I was wondering if the Vault of Glass' rewards are limited to a Weekly timeframe like the Weekly Heroic Strikes and Nightfall.

And if so, what is limited? Thanks.

Bump...

I've been mia from destiny this week since it was my 2 year anniversary with my girl yesterday. So I missed out on all the raid runs earlier this week.

Also nvm they have mics, they were just in party chat

Sure

Whats your PSN?

I believe, from what we learned during the time of Rahool's Tyranny.

Engrams are basically assigned an item the moment you pick them up. It doesn't matter who decodes them, but rather who gathers them.

I could totally be full of shit, though. This is all just second hand info.

 

[hillsighed]

In hindsight that definitely would have been the thing to do but I'm kind of glad I didn't. I'm a little bored of Warlock at this point. Also, I play a ton of PvP and the Fists of Havoc gets me SO many more kills than Sunsinger or Nova Bomb.

Two things that will make me never make another character: Levels 1-12 are fucking brutally boring. Using grey and green guns and gear sucks. Leveling Vangaurd and Crucible again REALLY sucks.

 

[Deku Tree]

I like the weapon variety in Destiny. In Halo you got to use Alien Weapons and all that. But there weren't that many of them... in Destiny there are so many different weapons. Love it.

 

[PedroLumpy]

The problem is the maps. Even if you give it greater damage fall off at long range and make it a mid range specialist only, the majority of encounters in pvp favour mid range weapons.

We need some open maps like blood gulch so precision weapons like scouts, snipers, hand cannons, and even pulse rifles can dominate instead (not that you can't use those already, but map design definitely favours AR/shotgun/fusion arm).

Oh I agree completely. The maps make it so trivial to get into close range that of course close range weapons will dominate.

 

[EL CUCO]

We had a blast Raiding last night. You missed out! Sumo wrestling at the jumping puzzle was amazing

 

[arimanius]

I honestly think there isn't that many weapons in destiny. Specially consorted to other loot games like Diablo 3 and borderlands. I also think the weapons and armor stats and perks need to be even more randomized and like the other loot games.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

You are suppose to have an alt the same class as your main. I have 3 hunter characters and did the nightfall 3 times in less than 1.5 hours

My main is a Lock and I just leveled a titan to 26. I think I am going to go your route and kill the titan and have 3 locks. Only makes sense in this game. The class specific materials to upgrade armor has wore me out on my alt.

Well, it isn't that way for blue engrams, for them it works out just right.

 

[milkham]

Bump...

all vault of glass rewards are weekly, per character.
you can either do the raid once on normal and then again on hard and get loot
or just do hard and get normal+hard loot.

 

[Hawkian]

Hey Hawk what loadout are you using for your Hunter for both PVE and PVP?

Haha, actually, I use them each for both, and you can see the two builds I run as the first two mentioned in this post. as of getting the spine from Xur's engram I just have to level it up and they are both pretty much complete.
edit: oops, fixed link

You are suppose to have an alt the same class as your main. I have 3 hunter characters and did the nightfall 3 times in less than 1.5 hours

no thank you

I think he is suggesting an option to not equip 1 weapon slot, in favor of the other two being exotics.

you're right, 8 points total... so you'd be going without a heavy weapon. hmm. lol, if you could still pick up heavy ammo, it could still get kind of out of control... well it's an interesting idea either way.

Yeah, this was for PvE only. Let me use my shiny new toys, Bungie! PvP is such a mess to me that I wouldn't care if they made every gun in the game available to each player at the beginning of each match.

ohhh. well, I think it's a really cool idea in that case. giving up an entire weapon slot is a worthy handicap for PvE

 

[Sullichin]

Bungie really needs to fix map selection so you don't have to play the same map twice in a row.

I would imagine this would be difficult. They would have to check every single person in the match and not select any of the maps that any of those 3-12 players just immediately played.

I believe they are random, because I got a legendary engram on my hunter and it became a warlock item.

Sigh, I would have rather raided with you guys than paid 130 for a meal at a fancy restaurant.

Also let me know if you will be raiding on your alts also. After I do this raid I still need to do 2 more
