Bungie claims that that specific weapon is getting a boost, so don't dismantle it just yet.
Yes, right now it's utter trash.

I've only seen one Purple since the engram patch. Granted, I haven't been playing as much as I did in the first couple of weeks, but there have still been times where I play for hours without a single purple orb.
The only great exotic bounty is Invective.
Hopefully Thorn and Bad Juju will be more worthwhile after they are buffed.
Having said that, Bad Juju will always have that annoying green flame that blocks your view when you pan to the right.

Terrible recoil. There's just nothing special about it for an "exotic" when a legendary MG would be much better to free up your exotic spot.
On the plus side, the SGA bounty is insanely easy. Just grab P Infinity next time.
I believe the recoil is worse than the netcode in the match you posted the vid from

Yesterday I got my first purple engram (heavy weapon) drop. L28 Titan with 72h into the game.
It became 2 ascendant energy.

I've got a few legendary engrams, but I always get shards or energy from them.
I bought the titan chest and the warlock helm. Really got the helm because my warlock gets stiffed on raid gear, so I need a helmet at the very least. Plus, it has perks that help in the raid. I need 3 more motes and I'll roll the dice on a chest engram. I hope to get a titan piece or praxic fire. Hell, anything I don't already have would be nice. PEACE.

Ah, fair enough. I keep forgetting that there isn't really much to use motes on and they seem so few and far between, it feels like I should be saving them.
In any case, there are only two exotic chest pieces, and I have the one they aren't selling, so it doesn't make much sense for me this week.

Since the patch I've received maybe 4 or 5 legendary engrams from the daily. Cryptarch level up while not as often as before still gives them. I even got an exotic.
Fucking Sunbreakers
The chances to get a purple drop now are probably normalized to the chances of a purple actually being Legendary pre-patch.

I don't mind the bounties or even the farming of mats away from killing something. But i do agree its all very half-baked. There should be a system in place to buy planet mats or an item exchange for said mats. 10-20 planets mats for 5000 glimmer or 50-100 armor mats. The bounties i like but i don't know why for the life of me they are the same 10 type of bounties over and over. If they mix up the types and offer higher ranking bounties at level 26 that offer a bit more rewards seem easy to do. Solo a public event get a strange coin, dance with 20 guardians get 5 motes of light, or help a lower level guardian complete a strike or bounty get ass shards or energy.

I don't understand why they have two tiers of vendor trash. Why does green nonsense drop for lvl 20 and up players anyway, it serves no functional purpose besides slowing you down by making you press square in your inventory for a while. I wish it just autodismantled on pickup really.

Thes guns are all the same with just different names to draw you in
Are any of the legendary fusion rifles for sale in the tower any good for PvP? I've just been using a blue/rare FR because the legendaries have slower charge times, and I've gone with the assumption that charge time is the most important thing for PvP, so I've been holding out for a random drop of a fast charge time legendary FR. But maybe I'm missing something...are the slower charge rate FRs advantageous in some other way in PvP? For instance, do they have a longer 1 shot kill range, or a more forgiving blast "width" for lack of a better way of describing it? I find that my FR effectiveness is very hit and miss. Sometimes it's a 1 hit kill. Sometimes it isn't, and I don't know if it's because the target is just a little too far away or if I'm just not hitting them with a direct enough shot.

you get 10 shots on one hand cannon and 11 on the other. Both respectable although I tend to lean towqards one with perfect balance and/or ammo directly into the magazine. I think theyre both good. Im not gonna comment on the other two because theyre not handcannons and I couldnt care less about them.
Thanks for the advice. I guess they're both pretty even then. I'll just have to mess around with them and see which one I prefer I suppose.
The Red Hand does actually have a Perfect Stability upgrade but I was a bit worried about its range without Send It. Is that not as big of an issue as I'm thinking it is?
Bummer. Feel free to add me anyway if you want, I'll be running lots of strokes, dailies and weeklies until I'm raid ready
I also wouldn't mind if they included them in the daily mission reward (as an extra bonus) or included upon finishing heroic missions to get people to not play everything on easy to breeze through it.

Idk if this has been posted here already IGN's report of the DLC leak, what do you guys think of this? Level cap seems to be getting raised to 32, and finally our rusty looking ships will be able to have a shader on top.

Almost at the point where I don't pick them up anymore. Over 500 weapon parts and haedronic essences. Pointless.

The only reason I wouldn't want auto-dismantle is for my alt character. I have so little of the Warlock armor upgrade material that I usually level up the green armor before dismantling it since it doubles the material drop. Of course if they gave us an auto-dismantle option that would be the best of both worlds... but what are the odds of something that crazy?

Too many expansion spoilers
If there only was a story to spoil LOL...
Just helped my buddy do the Nightfall and he got The Last Word as a reward. So fucking jelly.
Same here. My shader collection will be complete once I have Thunderdevil (along with Beowulf, Chatterwhite, Bloodpact, God of War).

Given the main difficulty of the raid is level disparity, that part feels right.
Shaders for ships, wouldn't that eliminate like half the current ships as being unique?

Same situation. That is the only one I want but I keep getting others. In my mind it is the perfect exotic. Not bound by what sub class and useful for both PVE and PVP
it shouldnt if youre getting headshots with the handcannons like you should be.

To make playing another Hunter alt interesting I'm only going to use hand cannons as my primary to prepare me for my dream hand cannon, either Hawkmoon or Fatebringer.

For those who have Hawkmoon is it good or just pretty looking? Does Fatebringer outclass it?

I have it with perfect stability. The only HC that I think is better is the last word
Nothing like a good stroke to set the pace of the session
Haha whoops
Whatever it takes to get the exotics
Is this a positive or negative wtf? Because I find that the low impact on it makes it suck for pvp. Unless I'm right on top of someone they usually take 2 shots to kill. My legendary is more effective.

DLC leaks sound decent, so far, considering that's not all that's included (right?).

Hah. I love that sight.
It makes me really love scoping in, and the weapon has the range to justify it I think.
Not used to the rapid switch insta-fire thing though. That takes some care to use, but could see how someone who really is aware of it could do well in PvP with it.
No purple engrams since patch for me. The day before patch i had 3 drop in one strike! Ofcourse none of those actually turned onto a purple item. I think the actual rates for getting a purple stayed exactly the same just the colors of the engrams changed to actually reflect what it would have been anyway lol!

well, My titan already has the raid chest, Chest of Alpha Lupi and The helm of inmost light.
I guess I might as well add the The Armamentarium??

It's definitely very nice to have Radar available at all times when using a Primary. I can't count how many times someone tries to run up behind me to melee when I'm in ADS and I just do a backwards jump, and end up dusting them from behind instead.
Personally though, I actually prefer Lucky Raspberry for the free grenade on every spawn. I don't use it much now though because I don't have a Raid Helm so I need to the 30 light from an Exotic helm. Symbiote and Mask of the Third Man don't mesh with my playstyle.
