Destiny - Videogame Thread + SRK Clan SignUp

Stuff from factions/Vanguard/Crucible tends to be pretty darn good. They are legendary after all. The Scout Rifle that I got for being Level 3 Dead Orbit shoots fast and has extended range after being upgraded.

yea but the stuff you get from the queen is all blue. no legendaries at all. i think you need to get to 3 to get them too.

I was lucky that the Gunsmith was selling blue fusion riles today, so Iā€™m on to the next part of the Exotic bounty.

Next step is 200 kills with fusion rifles on Nightfall strikes. Even with the Solar Burn bonus on my side, this shit is still a huge pain. Taking you back to orbit after each death is a little much. Youā€™d think Bungie would want to draw attention away from the ridiculous load times,instead they use them as punishment lol.

Nightfall can go to hell.

Bungie obviously has an intended progression chart. Queen gear spitting out shards, people intentionally wiping on low lvl missions, and loot cave farming throws that intended curve out of whack

Eh, Iā€™ll pick up Destiny next year, when the gameā€™s post-release beta is finished.

Played the game for 200+ hours, I can finally take a break from it until we ready for raids, for now, Iā€™m playing LoL again and waiting for Smash and maybe AC Unity.

I got a fucking New Monarchy bond from a Purple Engram ROFL.

I think cryptarch has been ok. Ive had maybe 6 purple engrams, and he gave me an exotic and 1 legendary weapon.

The other 4 ended up being blues, but I donā€™t mind.

When is Xur coming back?, and I just hit 26 so Iā€™ll be looking for peeps to do the raid with.

Finally figured out that my playtime is on the website. I got 67 hours in this shit so far.

Was pretty mad earlier. Got a group together of 27ā€™s for the raid. Error Code Baboon while fighting the Templar

Xur is a weekend worker.

I assumed Destiny was a reskinned Halo for the past 2 years until I played the360 Beta which convinced me it was a reskinned Halo that was trying to be Skyrim and Borderlands with bittersweet success. When I watched Angry Joeā€™s review I was convinced to wait until itā€™s on steam sale then again that was the plan since day 0 lol.

That ā€œDestiny Going Forwardā€ piece sounds good.

Seems like theyā€™re trying to correct all the things people are complaining about. Loot drops for missions and strikes. Pvp balance. Cryptarch.

I know Iā€™m playing auto rifle/shotgun blade dance -hunter right now because its dumb strong in pvp.

If theyā€™re gonna balance things maybe Iā€™ll work on my warlock and titan a bit more

Finally got around to actually reading that patch note ā€œShotguns work outside of their intended rangeā€. The fuck? My shotguns only take like 1% off a Guardian healthbar once I hit a 6 foot range. These things are practically melee weapons

I agree with the Scout Rifle and Exotic weapons thing. My Thorn looks cool as hell but is completely outshined by my Lord High Fixer functionality wise. I dont get the point on Auto Rifles.

They are better than scout rifles and pulse rifles by a pretty wide margin. I know Iā€™ll be at ranges where scout or pulse should out range me, but their damage doesnt matter enough for me to not get more rounds off to their heads, than they can return and kill me.

The only time i feel disadvantaged to the other 3 primaries is at sniper range. Then Iā€™ll lose to a scout or pulse. Hand cannons seem pretty terrible for PvP.

The shotgun thing seems weird. I know i can win against them if im not within 10 meters. But at the same time shotguns are still a much better choice for PvP to me than fusion or sniper for general purposes

I heard Void damage gets a boost during Nightfallsā€¦ Try that instead.

^^
i think it varies. you can see the modifier before you start. im pretty sure my fusion rifle does void damage and it basically does fuck all in the nightfall strike this week.

Hand cannons are useable in pvp, but it really is go for the head or go home with them.

I donā€™t spend several days fighting people to get gear add ons. At best, I gain skill with a character, through training.

I already know how to play a FPS. This one isnā€™t even that unique. Itā€™s pretty much just Halo. I am not gaining any character skill. Especially considering my weapons probably will change in the future, thus changing my character.

I donā€™t want every PvP match to reward me. However, I donā€™t want them to randomly reward whoever, because thatā€™s just fucking retardedly stupid. Why is dead last getting a legend, and first place is getting NOTHING? Thatā€™s inexcusable.

My major issue is that once you get high level gear, you ARE a better player in multiplayer. Your gun has enough extra features, that you become a true danger. So now inexperienced players canā€™t fully enjoy MP, because theyā€™re going to get their shit pushed in by a player who got luckier, and has an exotic weapon instead of a rare one, for instance.

Bitch about people farming loot cave all you want, I feel that for me, itā€™s the only way to make progress. I only get like 30 mins a day sometimes to play a game, usually less than that. I can do a handful of MP matches, and get nothing. Donā€™t have time for raids or strikes. Literally, my ONLY FUCKING OPTION to upgrade my gear, is by farming loot cave. I quite literally donā€™t have any alternative.

On a slight tangent, where do you get that big ass hoverbike with the rockets on the moon in crucible?

That thing is freaking nasty to go up against.
