Can we just make Scouts and Auto Rifles worth a damn again?

yea i would like to go back to using badger CCL, but with all the thorn nonsense running around, i cant drop hawkmoon right now. hawkmoon is the only way i beat out last word and thorn users, god dam lucky shots are so OP, you get them way more than you would think you would.

Yeah the only guns that a can use in pvp other than the thorn/Last word/hawkmoon are the bad juju, red death, jewel of osiris and the vision of confluence.

How difficult is the vault of glass? I’ve never tried it before, but I want that vision of confluence scout rifle. I’ve got a salvation state scout rifle with full auto, explosive rounds, and crowd control. Will that work for the raid?

Did work this time in iron banner. Maxed out both of my characters, got four etheric lights (plus another one from the nightfall), and brought my titan to level 30 from 23. Didn’t buy the weapons, though. My btrd was good to go.

Any tips for using a striker titan, especially when it comes to lift? Shit’s really annoying.

If you havent done the vault of glass, its by far the best destiny experience and its probably what drew and suckered us all in. If there’s a few positives about this damn game then thats definitely one of them and its definitely worth running even just for the experience. Though be careful of the people you play with they can ruin it for you. Id suggest maybe setting up a SRK\Neogaf newbie run with someone so u can get the ropes and how to do it. Itll probably take like an hour though people have really gotten the times down now-a-days

VOG can be hard if you dont know what you’re doing. Its just take time to learn all the ā€˜steps’ if you will:

Ninja edit:

Weapons i used for vog are:

Primary -
vision of confluence
fatebringer
basically good scout rifle and hand cannon

Special -
Ice breaker
black hammer
Found verdict or any good shotgun - to take down oracles/praetorians fast.

Heavy -
ghorn
truth
any rocket launcher with tracking
thunderlord/super good advice - to take down oracles
fast

365 Corrective Measure…

…it’s like fitting the force of a hydrogen bomb through the eye of a needle.

The biggest problem with VoG is that it can be quite glitchy due lag and other connection problems. Though now that many people are lvl 34 and have Ghorn and other exotics it has become really easy to finish if people know what they are doing.

Most lag in raids can be fixed by changing the fireteam leader.

Vault of Glass is really fun, though. Tons of lore for those interested and plenty of action for those not.

Just make sure to have that Benny Hill music queued up when you reach the jump puzzle. :]

You will be surprised at the amount of stupid bullshit that VoG has drop upon me and my teammates on the past.

VoG is still my fav activity in destiny, It also has a chance of dropping arguably the best guns in the game… its a shame that none of dlc content is nearly as good as VoG and no one wants to run it anymore.

Youre not complete until you have the Vex!!! lol

I remember rng smiled upon me back then… it gave me the mother load: ghorn, vex, shards, sparrow and fatebringer number 1. I was always complaining that one person at the end of it always gets the motherload… and that time it was me lol. Fatebringer is too good btw

Ninja edit: Destiny PS4 console bundle!

Yesterday(July 7th) was Bungie day. They are giving out a free emblem if you complete some challenges. Chances are you’ll have 90% of them done if you’ve been playing since launch. You have until TTK launches to complete them. The only thing I have to do is kill Skolas on hard.

You track it here

All I need is about 8 golden chests. I stopped going after them when I realized they gave you crap.

lol i though i had all the golden chests… got the last 2 I needed (last one gave me a rare machine gun). Emblem here i come.

Here’s Datto’s Golden Chests Guides:

Dude, thanks for that. I’ll probably go find them after work today.

Again, this is my issue with Destiny. An emblem? We’ve pretty much taken a world tour of the Destiny landscape and instead of unlocking a special mission to explain some major event in the game’s lore, we get an emblem?

The game relies too much on loot and not enough on actual storytelling. I’m just fatigued on loot I guess. The entire process of earning loot so I can earn more loot has ran thin with me. Problem is the game itself is tons of fun.

They say that TTK’s campaign actually tells a story with cutscenes and all, so I’ll see if they actually deliver. However, I still should have to read about Alpha Lupi, the doomed fireteam(s) who went into the Vault of Glass, etc from an app. The lore should be explored in the game with missions and unlockable story arcs, etc.

Still need to kill Atheon, Crota and Skolas on hard mode or whatever. At least I have a GHorn for each character now thanks based RNJeesus

For the expansive storytelling that everyone wants, that would require an almost complete overhaul of the game.

Believe that everyone is right there with you, but I think it’s only practical to expect real enhancements to lore exposition/storytelling in Destiny 2, where they essentially get to try this whole thing again, but hopefully with a much less rocky start.

I am interested in what they’re planning on doing with the Dreadnought, though. At first, I was super skeptical about it and essentially figured it to be just maybe a spot on the Director with three or four missions, but after examining how much better the campaign quest structure has become and how much time they’ve had to work on this and after seeing all the new elements that are being added, I came to the conclusion that thinking TTK will actually deliver in terms of satisfaction on the campaign front is entirely within the realm of possibility.

I can only hope the ball isn’t dropped on this one. I feel like there is too much negative energy around this expansion’s release; I would imagine several jobs are on the line come September.
