From http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Raid
Prior to Destiny's release, there were several misconceptions about the difficulty of Raids. Eric Osborne stated that on one particular raid, he and his team "spent over 45 minutes just cracking the entrance." Luke Smith clarified that the group probably "had some communication issues," adding that "once your group understands how to open the Vault, it's not going to take anywhere near 45 minutes." Eric also claimed that during a playtest, a group of players was not able to complete a Raid even after sixteen hours. Luke clarified this also by saying that those particular players were not given any help or advice about the gameplay or the raid's mechanics and that once a group understands the encounters, it shouldn't take longer than three hours to complete a Raid.
- There will be five story/exploration maps at launch. The maps are on Earth, the Moon, Venus, Mars, and the Reef. - Strikes are 3-man group content that offer increasing challenges. There will be six of them at launch. - Raids are 6-man group content that offer very difficult challenges. The Vault of Glass will be the first raid available. - The Crucible is the name of Destiny's PvP. It will launch with 6 objective modes and 10 maps. Some modes are 3-v-3, some are 6-v-6, and one is a free-for-all. - The Iron Banner is a different take on the Crucible. It uses the same objectives and maps but it does not balance the gear. He who has the best stats has the advantage. - There are currently 9 different weapon classes in the game across 3 types. - Primary Weapons are Scout Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Auto Rifles, and Hand Cannons. - Secondary Weapons are Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Fusion Rifles. - Heavy Weapons are Machine Guns and Rocket Launchers. - Weapons are not class restricted. Any class can use any weapon and no class has an affinity for certain weapons. - Exotic is the highest rarity of an item. You may only have one piece of Exotic armor and one Exotic weapon equipped at any one time. - Your class determines what kind of armor you wear, what sub-classes you can use, and which of the three base stats you favor. - Titans favor armor, Hunters favor agility, and Warlocks favor recovery. - Each class has multiple sub-classes that dramatically change the way you play. The sub-class can make you defensive, offensive, supportive. - The known Titan sub-classes are Striker, which makes you a tough melee opponent, and Defender, which makes you invaluable for keeping allies alive through damage reduction. - The known Hunter sub-classes are Gunslinger, which makes you dangerous at medium range, and Bladedancer, which makes you sneaky and lethal in melee. - The known Warlock sub-classes are Voidwalker, which makes you a dangerous area-of-effect opponent, and Sunsinger, which makes your allies more powerful and allows you a group revive. - Some items in the game will give you access to a bonus from one of your sub-classes. Essentially allowing you to double-dip where normally you had to choose one or the other.
The Fallen are a nomadic race of four-armed bipedal humanoids. They are a species of pirates and mercenaries located on Earth and the Moon, and are one of the primary antagonist races in the Destiny series.
The Hive are an impossibly ancient race that battled humanity at the end of the Golden Age. They reside on the Moon, where they have burrowed deep within its lifeless core, carving out a kingdom for themselves. They have been silent and buried among many dark and terrible secrets, staying there for centuries while growing stronger. They serve as a reminder of the tremendous power that brought forth the Collapse.
The Vex are a partly robotic, time-traveling alien species. From their stronghold on Venus, they launch endless waves of metal armies towards human civilizations in an enigmatic quest for domination.
Cabal are a race of giant bipedal humanoids located on Mars and one of the primary antagonist species in Destiny. The Cabal empire is a military-industrial complex determined to expand and conquer, and is characterized by size, with everything about the Cabal being massive, from soldiers to equipment and vehicles.
The Darkness is an ancient, mysterious enemy of The Traveler and is the cause of the Collapse, the cataclysmic event that ended humanity's Golden Age. The Traveler sacrificed itself to save humanity from it, and following its last battle against it, became silent and dormant in the place it now rests, hovering low above Earth and protecting The City.
Though few remember exactly what the Darkness is, it is returning to finish its war against the Traveler and humanity. Guardians must push it back and wake the Traveler in time, or humanity could be lost.

Very hyped for this game. cant wait until it comes out. 3 more months!
also, Destiny isnt releasing on PC.

Nice job.
This is by far the biggest launch of the year for me... and you can remove PC :P

Most impressive. I have a feeling this might get a PC release down the line, but Bungie don't have a lot of PC experience so they wanted to focus on consoles.
Wait, wasn't the composer fired recently? I wonder why

Another dev did happened on GAF ;)
Quote from: LukeSmith;115321786
There's a lot of confusion here, and we haven't done the best job ever of explaining the game or its structure.
I'm Luke, and I'm one of the lead designers on Destiny.
First, Destiny is structured into Activities.
We've attempted to build a suite of activities that can suit a variety of moods (I want something challenging! I want to chill out with my friends! I want to see where the story goes next! I want to shoot other players!, I want the game to be a cruel dominatrix! et cetera)
These activities come in a bunch of flavors:
Story missions - soloable activities (you can still play them in groups of up to 3!), often with ties to the main story arc of Destiny (the campaign). These activities appear at various Levels (numerical, relative to the player) and choosing a higher level (relative to you) means you're opting in for some additional challenge.
Strikes - 3 player activities, with bosses and loot at the end. Their goal is a highly replayable activity that will - at higher levels - lead you into the loot game.
Explore - cruise around the surface of a planet in Fireteams of up to 3, taking odd jobs and tasks for the City. You can find minerals and resources out in the world that you'll have some use for as you find weapons in Destiny that you want to stick with. This is a lower intensity activity
Raids - 6 player, cooperative required, communication required gameplay. High challenge. We haven't talked much about this yet and I'm not going start that conversation here on NeoGAF
Multiplayer This is for the "shoot other players" mood.
Now, the second part is how the world has been built.
We've structured Destiny's world to have places where you will probably intersect with other players, and places where you won't. We're not going to have players drop into the climax of a mission, but the common landing zones for a given planet? That seems like a great place to see other players running amok in the world.
EDIT: Regardless of what activity you're playing (PVP aside), you'll see players on their own activities, i.e., players beginning a Strike might see a guy collecting Relic Iron on Mars, and a Public Event begins and suddenly everyone is distracted to take down a key Cabal target for a chance at powerful gear and materials to upgrade your best weapons and armor.
A bunch of folks are playing the Alpha now and we're already seeing all kinds of opportunities for places to improve Destiny. I have no doubt that in the Public Beta, we will learn even more from your feedback and experiences.
I'm not going to get into any of the recurring activities or gearing or class stuff today, but I imagine we'll start to try and explain stuff more soon.
the alpha is out? man I thought I signed up for that as well.. need to sign up for hardline beta as well..
Closed Alpha is up... the Public Alpha starts tomorrow.
The pic is my preorder ;)

Title: Re: Destiny
Post by: Raven on Jun 13, 2014, 11:46 PM
Wow. Did I just have one hell of a play session. So I went to the Tower to see if anything new had come up since I leveled last time. Turns out, I was able to accept bounties now which was neat. Got a couple sick new weapons and then headed back to Old Russia for some exploration. I walked into a building that I thought was just an old utility shack. I had seen it plenty of times so I thought nothing of it. Then I saw stairs. So I got curious and investigated. After going down a few levels I realized that this little shack actually had quite the little underground area to it. I ended up in pitch dark so the light popped on. I walked down a little ways and went to turn a corner. I came face to face with Hive Acolytes whose levels were too high for me to see. I got the hell out of there and went about my business.
Then I went out mission hunting. Whatever I could find. I stumbled onto a mission that told me to take out a Fallen patrol. When I got there it hit me pretty quick. This was the same place as the stage demonstration Bungie gave us at Sony's conference last year. Only... I just went in where they had come out after killing a big Fallen boss. So I attacked the Fallen and sure enough that big basket came right out of that hole in the wall sporting a yellow nameplate with a skull to indicate being a boss. I avoided him, who by the way was firing three rockets at a time, and took out all of the minor enemies first. I started pounding him but I wasn't doing much damage. So I pulled out my new heavy weapon, a rocket launcher, and blasted that big guy twice. That nearly killed him. So I picked away at what was left of his health and killed him. After I explored the area in reverse order from the stage demo to confirm it was the real deal, which it was, I went back the way I came. That's when the most awesome thing yet happened.
As soon as I walked back out a public event happened. Yes, the same one that happened in the stage demo. Only this was WAY more intense. Fallen were everywhere, drones with shields showed up, enemy captains, and that awesome devil walker. One other person, a level 4, showed up and we tried to take this thing down. We both died several times. We were on a time limit to kill the devil walker so we got more desperate and thus ballsy. We got it down to below half health but ran out of time and it faded away. It was such an awesome feeling to be in such a fight like that with someone else. The whole time I was hoping you guys would spawn in and help. I was surprised to only see one other person, though. I fully expected a bunch of people to suddenly appear but it was just the two of us. Still, it was awesome.

Just went through the Devil's Lair strike. Holy crud. I joined in a mission already in session and it looked like they completed most of it. I jumped in right as they were fighting a devil walker. fudge me. That was no joke. Then the boss. Sepiks Prime. Wow. That took forever and was worth it. Awesome fight.

LULZ same thing happens to me. I believe all the peoples dots are on the mini map but they just don't show up in game. My game was so empty the first time I played. I kept thinking, man I figured I'd see more people than just myself and enemies. :-p

How long do they last? Whats the loot like? Are they hard? :P
Depends of your skill they can last 2 hours or more... last one I did in 20 or 30 minutes... at beginning it was hard but now it is not so much... depends more about your party... sold it is really hard.

Most time it is some gear or weapon of a high level but in the Alpha I just saw uncommon loot until now... no rare... even so I get ones that I will never use in the Alpha due the level cap.
Edit - The enemies drop rate are ok... not a drop fest like Warframe and not rarest fest like others... balanced.

I just keep finding new areas to explore. Huge new sections of the map I hadn't seen yet. Underground areas I had no clue were there. I have now seen about 5 different public events. At first I thought only a portion of the Old Russia map was available but it turns out it's pretty much the whole dang thing. You just have to explore and keep your eyes open for doorways or stairs. I even found a highway on the Forgotten Shores I had no idea was there that loops around to a back entrance to the Skywatch area. Also, the Warlock's Nova Bomb is ridiculous.

Yeah, they most likely are just there because those areas are not places Bungie want us to go to. Though the actual full game might end up having enemies like that. And if that's the case I have no idea the point of them.

I tried riding my sparrow past some of them, but their attacks always knock me off it!! I really want the beta to be here so I can actually play more than just 3-4 days. And hopefully we have at least 2 planets somewhat open to us, with them giving us part of another towards the end of the beta just to wet our appetite for more before the game launches.

well then.. maybe ill try this, how many people did you have with you?
i guess its better to go with a gun thatll just shoot lots then high power..
At start it was two and it was so slow... we reach half of the life of one of the enemies (there are 3 in this place)... after that one other guy started to help us and in the end four of us are working.
With 4 player using automatic rifle it will be well less slow... some hints when you are out of ammo just die to other guy revive you that you will go back with 400 bullets again... use the automatic rifle because it is the fastest and all weapon remove just 1 HP per bullet... so faster better... use the grenade of Warlord to paralyze the enemy for some seconds and just put all your ammo into it during this time.
It is just time consumption... the enemies are slow.

With 4 player using automatic rifle it will be well less slow... some hints when you are out of ammo just die to other guy revive you that you will go back with 400 bullets again... use the automatic rifle because it is the fastest and all weapon remove just 1 HP per bullet... so faster better... use the grenade of Warlord to paralyze the enemy for some seconds and just put all your ammo into it during this time.
It is just time consumption... the enemies are slow.
Why did you do it?

Meh, I'm not into shooters to be honest. I'll try Destiny, though. I really liked Wolfenstein: The New Order, however.
My biggest complain with Destiny is that it is too multiplayer-oriented, despite having singleplayer. That will probably hamper my fun with it.

Well nobody played the competitive multiplayer yet.
You can play and explore in sole... it is really cool.
There was competitive multiplayer in it. It was called The Crucible. It plays a lot like Halo multiplayer but with custom equipment and special powers. DD-Bwest and I played in it together. It was a lot of fun if frustrating at times.

Destiny's raids.
Quote
Raids are "extremely crafted," six-player, friends-only gauntlet runs that might best be described as gut-checks. Yes, they will be difficult, and they will absolutely require communication and cooperation. That's why Bungie isn't supporting matchmaking for them; the developers don't want them to be played by disparate groups of strangers. But Smith is quick to point out that they're not like Strikes - the instanced dungeon-like runs that might take a mere 20-60 minutes - but more like MMO raids in that you're going to want to buckle up and get comfortable for a couple hours.
"The activity is going to take you and your group of five buddies into a place that you've never been," Smith explains. "A place that you will return to frequently. And [it will] demand of you things you've never even really been asked to do in a shooter before."

You can also apparently generate motes of light by gaining experience beyond level 20. Though I'm pretty sure this is only in high content areas and that there will be a limit to what you can gain beyond the maximum.
EDIT: Watched the video again. Seems he was getting 30 experience for killing level 2 enemies. The bar for the next mote of light didn't really move. So it probably takes significant XP gains.

Well your raid progress is saved so you can continue where you left off if you have to leave. Save progress is wiped at Tuesday reset though and that's when you can do the raid again for the week. Anyone know how many raids there'll be?

all well and good but you guys might hate me if i step away from the controller in the middle of an encounter. i hate to be like that but when my kid is crying i gotta do what i gotta do. i pretty much put killzone down because of my kid since i almost never got to the end of a map without having to leave for at least a while.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not even sure what the benefits of making a clan are!
we should sorta just set up a group to play together. A place for us to see who will be on when and organize times to all get on and do raids. especially if we are going to need 6
Title: Re: Destiny
Post by: kitler53 on Sep 02, 2014, 08:27 PM
the benefit is to not play with a pug. pugs never go well especially when the encounter requires even a tiny amount of intelligence and communication.
the strikes arent so bad, i had a few shame teams but the strike in the beta could even be done by yourself if you have some backup ammo packs

I don't think there'll be more. I didn't get as much satisfaction from Warlock abilities as I did Hunter's that's for sure. I think the only things that set them apart for different roles is that Warlock have the lightest armour, while Titan's have heaviest (defence wise) also, Titan's abilities are more suited to being closer to the enemy while Hunter's seem to be what work best from far away. (just what I gathered from the beta, with a lot of skills locked)

Warlock is awesome.
Seems like you have 3 classes with 3 sub-classes each... so 3 different sub-classes per classe (can have more sub-classes)... each sub-class is unique and changes the power and everything else... the awesome powers showed by IGN are sub-classes of Hunter and Titan... they didn't showed the sub-class powers of Warlock yet.
Sunsinger sub-class (only after lvl 15) Super: Radiance Granades: Solar Grenade, Firebolt Grenade and Fusion Bolt
Voidwalker sub-class (initial) Super: Nova Bomb Granades: Vortex Grenade, Scatter Grenade and Axion Bolt Highest level: Illumination
I'm just listing few differences... there are more.
BTW these are the two classes showed in the Beta.
Title: Re: Destiny
Post by: ethomaz on Sep 02, 2014, 09:05 PM
The sub-class skills were locked... all the skill of the sub-class were open to level up.
The issue was that the sub-class could be reached just with lvl 15... and the game cap was lvl 8 :(
wat? for some reason a few days after i reached level 8 my skills stopped. i figured they capped it. my guns and armor could go up, but not my skills. I had unlocked about half the ones in the base class.
Title: Re: Destiny

Skills continue to level up... it is not related to level.
Example... to get all level of the grenade you need to use granede and it will level up.... the jump the same... just start to jump to level up the jump... the Nova Bomb the same... use the Nova Bomb to level it.
Title: Re: Destiny
Post by: ethomaz on Sep 02, 2014, 09:18 PM
Are not... I was close to reach all level in the first sub class.
Skils and level are not related.
Oh ok well they were still separate skills because it changed what they did. I guess they are like runes in diablo 3. I never unlocked a lot of them because I went on holiday half way through the beta
Title: Re: Destiny
Post by: kitler53 on Sep 02, 2014, 09:23 PM
hmm.. interesting. how long do you think it will take to get to lvl 15?
...i lvl'd a priest (main), mage (secondary main), rogue warlock and druid (just for fun) to lvl 70. honestly playing the different classes (aka gameplay) was part of the fun for me. if lvling is a fast as some have been saying i'll probably just play all 3 classes and decide later what i want to have as a main.
anyone know if they are going to let us respec the subclasses?

i played for hours and hours doing all kids of things trying to get aspects of further skills unlocked. i got all the grenades, the jump, golden gun etc. but towards the end it still stopped. i wish i could take a shot of my old skill tree.
maybe you have to do rather obscure things for the later ones... cause no matter what i did i couldnt get some of the real late ones.
edit: that or maybe it glitched lol
Title: Re: Destiny
Post by: ethomaz on Sep 02, 2014, 09:24 PM
This is from the Beta... there are only one Skill locked (that I guess it is the Illuminate that you need to fill all the others to unlock).
The first four columns I got everything and I was almost getting to the finishing the second and starting the third level in the last skills.

Title: Re: Destiny

I think it works like that but I'm not sure... eg. granades.
- Use Vortex Grenade to level up Scatter Grenade - Use Scatter Grenade to level up Scatter Grenade
The others seems to work like that... the Nova I start to use it a lot faster after use some gears that give you % power... so I used all the time.
hmm ill have to check into that, but for me they still wouldnt increase even it i was using the one just before it. im sure we will learn more once the game is officially out

So those codes that some of us redeemed on the destiny site unlock a grimoire card for destiny. You can go in and apply them to your account now and should be there when you play destiny.

sometimes gamestops will do a double up at locations. For instance gamestops in a mall go to another location nearby to do the midnight launch I'll be working at a midnight launch near me for the game. Kind of excited about it! Maybe I can plug vizioneck to some ps4 owners :)

Not really sure what's actually going on in that picture. It's the first time I've seen a player character, or at least what appears to be, wielding a sword. I've not heard of any melee weapons in the game beyond what your class might use for its melee attack and the few we know of certainly didn't use a dang meat cleaver.

You're right, I haven't heard about it either and it'd be a weird thing to keep a secret. Makes me wonder if there'll be some other cool ranged weapons

It wouldn't surprise me if Bungie kept a few things secret before launch. We should also consider that this was possibly an old shot from a time when they may have had melee weapons in the game. The sword that character is using almost looks like the sword of a Hive Knight. Considering the Titan is attacking a Hive Thrall it wouldn't surprise me if at one point Bungie allowed you to pick up the dropped weapons of your enemy and this screenshot was taken during a fight with the Hive where a Knight was killed shortly before.

That being said, we do know that Bungie claims the expansions will add new weapons to the game. I'm sure we could convince them through feedback to allow us to use melee weapons. Could you imagine playing as a Titan with something like the Gravity Hammer or being a Hunter while using a Plasma Sword? I'm sure Halo fans would wet themselves because I'm one of them and I surely would.

That sounds....amazing. If they add swords for Titans they should defo add crossbows/bows for hunters and perhaps staves for warlocks

OP has been updated. Videos were moved to the bottom so information didn't feel buried in the first post. New videos added. Enemy pictures were replaced with a single screenshot, much like the classes, since the images took up too much space and having them all represented in one was convenient. Brief descriptions of each enemy added.

The most anticipated game of the year, "Destiny," is out in stores Tuesday, September 9, but don't expect to see reviews until early next week right before the game's release. While 200 review copies of the game will be distributed by the end of this week, reviewers will have to wait until Monday to play the online-only video game because that's when the game's servers will go live.
midnight launch! cant wait lol how early you think i need to get there for near the front lol

Destiny has become GAME's most pre-ordered new IP in its history, the retailer has announced.
"We look forward to welcoming a huge population of fans into our stores at midnight. September 9th 2014 will be a pivotal moment for gamers all over the world, and we couldn't be more excited to be part of delivering what is a ground-breaking gaming experience," said GAME
It is ridiculous the timezone they choose even for people that lives in place hours ahead it... it will be 4am to me.

There is no player-driven economy. They want people to go out and get gear not just sit around and offer glimmer or sexual favors for a gun. It's also the price of having your own loot table.

There is no player-driven economy. They want people to go out and get gear not just sit around and offer glimmer or sexual favors for a gun. It's also the price of having your own loot table. It ensures you have a reason to keep going back to get something to drop for you instead of someone else giving it to you.
dang, how do you feel about that?

Indifferent. It's not a big deal. That's not the kind of game Bungie wanted to make. Player-driven economies can become a pain for developers to keep under control and they want people to actually engage in the higher level content and earn their rewards through actual success. Not just grinding on lower areas to buy gear that someone else earned but doesn't want so they can go into that content beefed up. Bungie has said before that they want people to see your gear and know "he beat that badass boss to get that".

i'll reserve judgement until after i start playing. nothing wrong with being different if different is good but i have a hard time imagining this game without any sort of trading system. with earlier in the thread being told that classes are a minor role to gameplay i think i maybe was expecting a different game that perhaps is being delivered. i suppose you're going to tell me there is no crafting system either? no equipment "enchantments" or whatever you want to call status buffs?
i'm probably just comparing this too much to WoW but if bungie wants me to "always have a reason to come back" the player driven economy (aka trading) and crafting specializations and equipment buffs and a class system that promote creating alts and talent trees where you can't get all of the talents and all go a long way to make it feel like there is always something more i could (have) to do to improve, refine, and experiment with my gameplay.

No crafting in the game. "Enchantment buffs" come in the form of upgrades already pre-baked into the gear that you unlock by gaining experience with that item and then using glimmer and sometimes special items to "purchase" it. Some are different scopes, some are faster fire rate, some are neat things like reducing grenade recharge with headshot kills. The more rare the gear the more upgrades it has. You are not thinking of this game correctly if you keep thinking MMO. It's Halo mixed with Borderlands with more online functions. It's not WoW or FF14 or TOR.

two games i've never played. ;D
when you say "pre-baked into the gear" do you mean the enchantments have no player choice? if as a player i want to prioritize scopes over grenades or whatever i may find myself farming the same piece of equipment several times trying to find the "right" enchantment slots. ...not sure how i feel about that.

There is a bank. By pre-baked I do mean you have no choice. The weapon comes with particular upgrades. You cannot add or remove upgrades. What the gun came with is what you get. Classes have a bigger impact than some are claiming. Your class choice, first of all, determines whether you are faster, recover health quicker, or absorb more damage. Then, you class determines the subclasses you can be and each of them is very different. A Titan Defender has very different abilities and bonuses than a Hunter Gunslinger.

my first run on the crucible since game launch was really really bad...

Most of the maps don't seem to mesh well with long range tactics for me. I hadn't been able to find that right spot for it, but there was 1 or 2 maps it worked well on for sniping.

Yeah Sniping can be tricky but aim for the head and its an OHKO! A couple of the maps have good spots but most seem to work best if you run around with a good rifle. I just had a shame game where my team got owned and even though I only got 2.4k points I was double the second person on my team....yeah. Sometimes you just get given a really shame team.

well i just got a decent shotty to use last night, so i'll have to try that out as my secondary instead of a sniper rifle... my fusion rifle is also really good, but fusion rifles didn't seem to work well for me in the crucible during the beta... but yeah using a scout rifle and a sniper rifle was a bit redundant :P

You need to reach level 5, So how ever long that takes you. I got there last night after 4 hours of play, but we did a lot of dicking around. You could do it in 2 if you rushed it.

i'd guess i'm a "sucker arounder" because any time someone tells me a campaign is "10 hours" i always find it takes me about 3x that. i'll probably spend a lot of tonight just mulling over the menus so if you're telling me it took you 4 hours it will probably take me 6+ and 2 nights of play. >.<

I'll play probably in about 5-6 hours. So you might be level 5 if you start earlier than that. But yeah I played 6 hours yesterday and am level 8 or 9 and have only completed the stuff that was available in the beta. Took me probably 3 hours or so till I got to level 5.

No it still kicks major dog.

Holy crud that final boss was ridiculous. We gave up after awhile. Probably going to try again today. A lot of people are saying that one is tough.

Title: Re: Destiny
Post by: Xevross on Sep 10, 2014, 09:27 PM
So it looks like that when you reach 20 every mission now has 3 more difficulty levels for level 20, 24 and 28. It gave me a popup about Heroic missions as well, which I presume is the level 28 mission for each story mission (can't check because too low level). It said heroic missions have a good chance to give exotics
EDIT@ I'm actually completely blind and wrong. Heroic missions appear at the side of the planet screen, you get a weekly heroic strike and a daily heroic story mission. They reward you with vanguard points, xp (story only) and strange coins (strike only) for completing and the loot you get has a higher exotic chance I think

looks like the raid is inbound for next week* lol http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Events-Inbound/en/News/News?aid=12133
i still have alot of it left to play :P this lack of content talk is bs lol ive got a ton of strikes to do, we get new missions. the raids havent been put up.. :P
Like I've been saying, this game is going to be judged incorrectly because it's being treated like a normal game instead of something that evolves over time. Bungie has been pretty clear that the game will see raids added, events would become more frequent, other forms of content would be introduced, and expansions will be coming every few months.

yup, not to mention it seems people dont want to grind and farm lol i found a spot i plane to try and farm engrams, i seemed to get a bunch last night. i know their is another spot in a strike that apparently can yield 5-10 blue engrams an hour, but cant do them by yourself and dont have a team of 3 ready to farm lol

what sad is i really, really trust rotten tomatoes to give a really good indicator of if a movie is good or not. you'd think meta would be the same but i don't trust it even a little. not sure what is more broken,.. the review sites or the way meta aggregates the scores.

from what ive heard legendary gear can be dropped like others through the random generaton. but you wont find them until you hae a high enough cryptarch level. i think. i always found green ones until i went up a rank, then only found blue ones. im gonna farm and grind tonight and tomorrow to see what i can come up with

Post by: Dr. Pezus on Sep 12, 2014, 06:27 PM
"Its funny how message boards and forums read....and the posts that are made... on any game - any platform - any genre...ever since I can remember years ago - once people figured out they can go online and invoke their right to free speech.
For the 155 CONTINUED friends (many more have been added and deleted over time...lol) I have collected in the PC, PS and Xbox world over the past few years (YES - its ok to have all three) I must say we are all VERY MUCH pleased with Destiny in all aspects thus far.
I started my relationship with "Bungie" as a young teenager who was amazed by this thing called Marathon. The story. The scary hallways of aliens. The AI's trying to kill me. Did it crash sometimes? yep. Did it glitch and stick me in a wall so that I died and had to re-do 4 hours of work? YEP. Does that EVEN MATTER? NOPE. IT was awesome.... IT helped create my love for gaming and it always will be remembered as such...regardless of flaws.
Most of my friends and I are all Halo / COD / WOW / BF / GOW Veterans... hard-core...1000-2000+ hours per game ....."play it till you can pillage lesser entities with one eye closed - 2 Controller buttons sticking-oh crud its 4am I gotta be at work in 2 hrs" kinda folk.
We love to game. and so far - we love THIS game.
Like many here- Gaming is part of our lives. We have ended and started relationships and dated and married women and men...just because they get it....or at the very least are ok with the gaming marathons because they will tell anyone who doesn't understand.. "hey at least he's not at a bar chasing women." ...or " yeah ...she's a little tipsy but at least she isn't driving anything but that WARTHOG."
Our kids (yes many of us have spawned our OWN minions) are GAMERS. Quality time is pwning your son endlessly in Gears....to the point of him almost crying. Its that moment when your brother / daughter / cousin / best friend etc...helps you lay waste to uncountable armies spanning numerous lands. Or the first time your Grandpa / Aunt / Mom / Dad that looks at the graphics and gameplay one day on that game you spent 3 weeks yelling at...and you see their eyes widen and their brain change in how they feel about your hobby. THEY FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GAME.
To BUNGIE and the city of people it took to make Destiny...
Yes - We are the biggest critics of you. Any Developer / any game / and system / any size....but we are also the biggest fans. We understand it took you millions of lines of code. Years of art and script planning. Map making. Countless hours of testing and scrubbing. etc etc etc....to create this world we can all escape to and enjoy EVERY WAKING SECOND we are able.
Destiny reminds me of how I felt about Marathon. Less than 5 games in my years of playing have ever reached that title.YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!!! ( Only ONE of the Halo's did...and NO IM NOT SAYING WHICH ONE...lol.)
Has our fireteam been booted right at the end of a Strike after 45 minutes of gameplay battling a hoard of moon zombies? Yep. Did I pick up a blue engram and it not show in inventory? yeah - that too. Do we care? NO. Because we dont care we had to do it all over again. I dont care because I got 2 BLUE engrams on the next playthrough!
Lets be honest with ourselves....and about the issues some are having...including our crew.
Maybe your router connection took a dump or your connection at momma's house isn't that great and never has been. Maybe you aren't ready for the crucible because you HAVENT PLAYED ENOUGH TO BE GOOD. (So far - its been a challenge for all of us even with the veteran players...but that's why we LOVE IT..the challenge!)
Maybe 15 minutes (what it took to get my characters face the way I want it) ISN'T ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE AN HONEST OPINION ABOUT A GAME!! SPEND MORE TIME PLAYING AND LESS TIME TROLLING!!! ITS A GAME. ENJOY IT. ITS NOT PERSONAL. ITS NOT PERFECT. BUT IT IS AN AMAZING WORLD OF GAME-PLAY AND THE EXPERIENCE and ENJOYMENT of PLYING IT MAKE THE HICCUPS WORTH IT.
Plenty of people will never read this far down. That's fine. Plenty of folks who read this will never comment, or feel its even necessary...because you understand. You agree. You get it. To you - we will see you on Patrol and help you in blowing legs off that Spider-Mech...or maybe in the Crucible right before we shoot each other with that new blue shotty we just decrypted.
To anyone else - well....just like the right to speak freely - you also have the right to not play! That's ok too...because I haven't found an empty tower yet. And we got plenty of friends to RAID with." -CBOND2X07 on Bungie.net

I think most people are not getting what Destiny means... maybe I'm used to Warframe I have a little better ideia so I will try to share with you guys <3
The are trying to created a Universe story like Star Wars, Startek, etc... the story will grow each new update/chapter released but it won't have a real ending... it will have EPIC moments but it will never ends all.
It was created to be continuous forever.
The same applies to the planets/world was created to be expanded to all the solar system and more... it will receive DLC, Expansions, etc... and even small planets like Earth will have more place opened.
This is the begining... it will be HUGE in terms of the content.
This game will receive new MODEs, new PLANETs, new PLACEs in the planets already existents, new CLASSEs, new SUB-CLASSEs, new EVENTs, new GAMEPLAY, etc.
The game will be like LIFE.

strikes are missions that have matchmaking to set you up on a fireteam of 3, they will have a couple mini bosses followed with a final boss. they have large xp rewards and you get a mission reward. up at higher levels they are the way to get decent gear. unless you just farm a shame ton of engrams lol

I'm not sure if the weapon/armor matter that much in PVP. I played with level 6 weapons/armor vs guys with level 20+ and it was really balanced.
Well some weapons kills with one hit no matter what like the shotgun at near distance... in that case you can't give the enemie to reach near you :)
Now rifles needs a lot of shots to kill but it can be from long range... except scoot that kills with one or two.

you have to get armor (blue or higher) that has light bonus on it... you need about 20+ light equipped to get to level "21" and about 35 light to be level "22"
So it turns out that you really shouldn't do it when you're under levelled

There are 6 strikes in the game right now. Devil's Lair on Earth, The Summoning Pits on the Moon, The Nexus and Winter's Run on Venus, Cerberus Vae III and Dust Palace on Mars. Once you get high enough you'll be able to run random strikes with friends or matchmaking to improve your Vanguard reputation and get Vanguard marks for better gear. Which is probably your best bet for increasing your level well beyond 20. I'm struggling to get to level 22 because I'm not getting the gear drops I need to improve and it's too much of a pain to try level 24 strikes at level 21. Hell, even level 22 strikes make me nervous when I get shot. Don't even get me started on weekly heroic strikes. I watched DD and my friend, even at level 24, get slaughtered by level 22 enemies who had a buff to their arc damage. I was getting one-shot at level 21.

Yeah, the Moon was neat but I think mostly because it had that "out in space" feel to it as opposed to feeling planetside. Venus is awesome looking, though. Definitely a radical departure from what we saw on Earth and the Moon. Mars has a lot of area to it but sadly it has that same "barren" feel as the first two. Though I honestly don't know what one would expect on Mars when it doesn't seem like much terraforming happened there. Strange considering it's clear that a ton of work went into making Venus survivable.

wait, there are just four planets? mars, earth, moon and venus? i thought there were supposed to be more?
Eventually. Not at launch. Mercury and some moons in our star system have been hinted at as well as other areas on Earth. There are already Crucible maps that are on Mercury or other places on Earth.

they should add them for free, not make them part of the expansion. though, that most likely wont happen lol.

well see how it all plays out, alot of us are hoping for free additions. Im pretty stocked for the eventual expansions. I think ill end up playing more crucible tonight at some point to see how the drops compare, ive had 1 game so far lol

Thanks, but if you saw me playing solo on the moon on hard you wouldn't think that anymore.
I was seriously getting destroyed.
i was playing normal on the moon for a mission i was 2 levels "too high" for and spent most of the level cowering in a corner waiting for my specials to come off cooldown. dang was the wizard at the end of that first story mission a baby. i completely see what you mean when you said you need help to get to the end game. i'm going to (hopefully) try that strike on earth tonight,.. at least there is matchmaking there so i'm guaranteed a group.

Try the moon mission with the princes. At the end of it you need to defeat 3 of them, one right after the next.
On hard difficulty that mission totally owned me. It's the one with "armor upgrade" as a reward.
When you play feel free to send an invite. I'll be on as well.

@lvl 14 I was getting 2-hit by the Princes. That level on hard was no joke. I had to drop down the normal in order to beat it. The sword is no use once the Prince's show up. At that point it is shoot, run away, shoot a bit more, run away. Keep that up and pray they don't catch you at some point. I was able to eventually take 2 of the 3 down though, but it took a while.
First time I had to do that in this game. All other missions were beaten on hard.

lol I've quoted instead of modified before too :P I managed to kill all of them using the sword just by focussing on one at a time. So you've played every level on hard the first time? dang

What level requirement is the raid? Since I got to 20 I've barely played my Hunter.
24 i would imagine, as at 23 you wouldnt really be able to hurt 26's because of the level difference. might be a bit higher, ill report back when i get on in a couple hours.
im a touch under 25 right now, hoping for 26 by thursday

yea drops seem to be 100% random generation.. so it doesnt seem to matter what you kill, aslong as you kill alot of them. so a good farm location would be somewhere you can get consistent kills fast. a place where alot spawn and respawn.

yup ive seen that one, but even then i kill them all to fast and they have to respawn. and people get in the way alot. still its been my farm spot until now. im about to test this next one to compare it with that one. for me the one on venus can get frustrating if you dont take the dregs out right what they spawn as youll spent time moving around to get an angle as they will hide behind whatever they find.
also its the spot of a random war between vex and fallen. youll be playing then you will see the normal guys around despawn and fade to vanish.. soon harpies will come out and you know the war will start lol guys will be powered up, youll get a bunch of majors lol ive got a hell of alot of engrams from that spot lol

there is a spot you can go, the best actually, where you can be alone, kill hundreds to thousands, and get plenty of drops. temple of crota mission on the moon. the "weve awoken the hive" part where the door opens and a shame ton come running out. just dont kill the knights, you cana prolly kill all but one, but i play it safe and just kill thrall and acholites. let the knights kill you and repeat the process. i got over 800 kills in like a half hour lol 6 blue engrams and to many green crud items lol but atleast its like 14 bucks a pop lol

im thinking any time you get waves runnning at you, with the temple of crota there is only 10 seconds of down time max before your killing a huge rush of thrall again. you even die before you get done killing things if you just stand there.. lol its like a constant stream. i havent seen anything remotely close lol

14 rares and a legendary in my inventory lol i have it set up where i can select that mission, it starts where i want, and then i can just go to orbit every once in a while lol i wonder how many i can save up :P looking at around 10-15 an hour depending on your luck. and if you use the items that drop for increase money drops from hive, you can make decent coin too
im going to store up like 50 engrams and do them all at once lol

green items drop around every 30-35 kills, when i got the legendary i had gone a real long time without getting an emgram but that as prolly just a coincidence.
you also get a bunch of black wax idols, which if you use them while farming gives you piles of cash, right now im stocking up on all the ammos lol

The loot is random liked to your level... like you will even see a Rare Engram before lvl 15... or even a Legendary Engram before lvl20... and my gears level are always better while my level progress (in lvl 20 I get stuffs to reach lvl 21 and not lvl 15 stufs anymore).

Title: Re: Destiny: the legend fullfills
Post by: ethomaz on Sep 16, 2014, 07:00 PM
I got my Legendary gear from a Blue (rare) Engram dropped trying to find all the golden chests in Moon... so I think places with a lot of enemies have more chances to drop than places with few enemies... it can be even in low level places.
Strikes give me one or more Blue Engram too... even the easy ones... I did 4 times the lvl 18 Strikes yesterday and level up my decoder to 4 plus got one Purple (legendary) Engram in the process.
Yeap... it don't matter the difficul.
I will start to do strikes because I can level my Vangard rep and win marks to buy Legendary gears too.
Crusible give Legendary gears random too... so just have fun where you like :D

...imo, the drop rate is pretty consistent regardless of what you farm. ..but i'll swear i get a better percentage of not-trash drops when i'm doing a more challenging mission. my only blue came from the mission i did which a friend that was above my own lvl.

I fudgy hate when randoms come into where I'm at and start killing shame that I'M TRYING TO KILL!! It's fine if I purposefully play with someone, but it's like get the fudge out of my way babies!! I almost always try to leave other people alone if they are fighting enemies. If they die oh well. Not my problem.

One of the best snipers in the game if not the best... the guy on Raid today was using it.
It was a good day for me too.
Reach lvl 24 and Vangard lvl 2... now I need just more 15 marks to buy my Legendary gear (there are a lot of options but it will be INT + DIS)... so lvl 25 is already reached tomorrow with this new 18+ light gear.
Ohhhhh the guy playing with me the Weekly Strike got 2 (yes two) Legendary Engram while I got none... none... neither a Rage Engram... fudgy RND.

Not sure if we talked about this but according to this hotfix on the 14th, public events now occur twice as frequently.
fudgy finally. public events are awesome. but they dont occur much, they only happened once while i was playing, and not sure what happened, i think it glitched out and didnt happen.

so the next destiny expansion is up for pre-order:
looks like it launches dec 31st. now i love destiny so far but i'm not sure how i feel about a $20 expansion every other month. as a "casual" i'm not sure i'll ever reach the end game content if they keep reeleasing more content before i get to the end of the original content. this is going to be an expensive game.
anyone else going to get it? going to get all the expansions or just some or none?
edit: so i bought the digital gaurdian edition. did i already by this particular expansion? looking like yes? an expansion every 5 months is a lot easier to take. i was thinking this was the first expansion after the ones i already bought.

The Dark Below and House of Wolves are the first two expansions. So you already have them with the Digital Guardian edition. From what I understand, the expansions will come every 3 or 4 months and there will be many of them. It was their way of avoiding subscription fees by giving optional expansions.

So Destiny has sold through $325m in its first week, which means it sold about 5.5m units. No where near as many as a lot of people were expecting.

how many were people expecting? that is almost half the initial week sales of the best CoD launch ever. how is that not good for a brand new IP? anyone that expected more than 5-6M week one is crazy imo.

many people on chartz are crazy and make their predictions based on hopes rather than looking at the wealth of data availible to them. i mean,.. we've got people in the sept 6th thread saying there is "no way xbox sold more than ps4" completely ignoring that launch sales ought to have been in the 100s of k not tens of k.
destiny's success was always going to depend on legs. i know what the reviews are but i think most people are actually enjoying the game. if the game has good legs than we know people like the game and and good word of mouth is spreading and the destiny 2 will be massive.

I never even spoke to her about the game. She just recognised the game as Destiny and said isn't it supposed to be shame. She wouldn't have read an article either. Not that its important anyways.

Should be about 5m sales for Destiny in 5 days. If we assume the PS4 version has perhaps 50% marketshare (it's 46% in the UK, very likely higher everywhere else but the US) we can say it sold 2.5m. My guess is the X1 version then sold ~1.4m and the last gen versions split 1.1m somewhat evenly between them, with 360 perhaps a bit higher (say, 500k vs. 600k).

whats farming? how can i do it? and what does it do lol. im level 14 btw.
all you really need is a decent gun in order to farm. once you pass level 9 it really works. chaning the difficulty to match your level as close as you can i important to, as for me it seems to increase drop rate.
the games drops are all random generation it seems, so a location where you kill lots and can do it over and over is perfect. item drops carry over for when you fail, so you cant loose anything. there are a few spots where a large number of enemy will come at you, and aslong as you keep dieing they will keep coming at you lol like on the moon temple of crota. they open the door and hive come charging at you. you kill as many as you can, only focusing on the ones coming straight at you. the rest will go behind you and kill you setting you up to do it again. trying to kill the others slows down how much you are killing lol
if you kill 1000, youll get 4-5 engrams. lol the kills ad up fast. can do 2000-2500 an hour

GAF confirmed that after lvl3 in Vangard/Crusible or any Faction you receive a Legendary gears (two if you have luck).
I'm at lvl 2 Vangard... I will grind up to lvl 3 and after I will start the Future Wars faction.
So it is not needed to grind using the RND... after lvl 2 you can buy Legendary gears with Marks too.
hmm dang then i have a whole nother fudgy rank to do :( thats a heck of alot of patrols.. :( so you get level 3 and they fall faster? or you get to 3 and they give it as an award?

i was peaking at the various factions the other day. so this isn't like WoW where you have to pick a faction,.. you can have full rep with all of them and have access to all of the sexy gear?

still, if destiny sold ~5 million total and that % in the UK is true everywhere destiny should have ~2.3M sold on ps4. Watch dogs sold about 1.5M first week so "theoretically" about 800k destiny buyers are new to ps4 since the watch dogs release...
and yes i realize there are some pretty massive assumptions in that statement.

For those who didnt know, when you hit level 3, your faction of choice will give you a Legendary Package at the postmaster. In my case, Hitting level 3 got me a Legendary Sniper. Level 4 got me a Cloak and Legendary boots, and Level 5 a Legendary Auto Rifle and Cloak. It appears every level earns you at least one Legendary, unless I just have superb luck.

Title: Re: Destiny: the legend fullfills
Post by: ethomaz on Sep 17, 2014, 06:28 PM
Vanguard: mixed stats (eg. you have the same gears with INT+DIS or INT+STR... it is like you will have a mix of all factions)
FWC: INT + DIS DO: DIS + STR NM: INT + STR
Crucible: it is exactly like Vanguard.
Other difference is that Vanguard/Crucible have 2 shops while the faction only one.
thanx, kinda sucks i didnt join one sooner.. maybe ill wait until im vanguard 3 to get that legendary before i switch over.. unless it moves your rep lol

i'm going to stick with vanguard 1st.
A) i'm already earning rep a decent amount of rep with them before the other factions are even available so i'll get to lvl 3 sooner i'd suppose. B) why not?
i'll put more thought into my second faction.

Each Faction have it you rep... right now I have lvl 2 Vangard with 100 rep... and lvl 0 FWC with 20 rep (I just tried it :D).
I will go with Vanguard until lvl3 and shift to FWC.
I want gears with high INT + DIS... INT increases the cooldown of Supers and DIS the cooldown of Grenades... STR do the same for Meele (useless in my play style).

no its the dark beyond. one of the first moon missions, if not the first. its the part where they first open the door to the temple of crota. you get a cutscene where you find the dead guardian, and the stranger looks down on you from that cliff. then the door opens and 40 guys come rushing out at you lol when you die it sends you back to right as the door opens, so you are constantly having guys running at you lol and most are thrall which only take a couple hits max..

yup, but i like to die earlier than that cause the amount of kills your getting slows down, and sometimes the knights will be babies and take to long to finish the job lol so ill let a few of the acolytes live, and dont bother turning around to shoot thralls that turned as they got out the door to come in from behind. they come out in a big rush, you get a couple dozen kills in a few seconds, die.. then do it over again lol after a while you develope a rythm to it.
and ya i need rare materials to, the ascendent energy and shards lol and a heck of alot of helium, im tempted tonight to google the filament run, its a certain path to follow on the moon that yeilds large amounts.

Holy balls, could you throw Xbox a single bone? I get that Activision wants to draw in PS followers who might not be interested in Bungie after Halo, but come on. Are you really telling me that you couldn't find another 6 people decent at PVP in your hundreds of employees?
The sole reason I chose Xbox is because I want to keep following Halo. The game that YOU envisioned and rose from a god damned baby. I feel like I'm being punished for loving you guys so much, and even though I couldn't ever stop loving you, you're really starting to piss me off.

I was checking my max Crucible score.
4,810
Not bad... btw I'm trying to get these 25 k/d.. it is weird because I didn't had any 12 k/d match but I did some 3-5 k/d and the things is cumulative... so while I can play a match with at least 1+ k/d the counter will increase and when I have a < 1 k/d my counter decrease.
So I can reach 25... after three matches I got 12... halfway to go... just killing more than dying.

farming can get a bit boring, but i like to challenge myself with small things during it to keep busy. they may have also changed the odds a bit cause last night i was grinding lvl24 strikes and i was getting like 3 a strike.
im hoping to be level 26 by the end of the day :P

No kidding. The amount of polish this game has alone should make it worth a higher score than that. Add onto that the fact that it has a competent PvP mode, 15 to 20 hours worth of story to start, plenty to explore, cooperative missions and events, and a dang hard raid as the crown jewel of the PvE content and it becomes mind boggling how this game receives anything less than an 8. A little south of that would be understandable for the game as it was at launch but when you score a game like this THAT low you're basically someone who should not have been allowed to review it, or any other game, anyways.

yeah exactly. when you get into the <50 range the game better have a game breaking glitch that deletes your save file or something like that. something totally catastrophic.
oh wait,. bethesda games score well...

someone showed me this from reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2gpvx6/statistics_we_decoded_590_engrams_here_are_the/
"This took us since launch to gather, we we're interested in what the chances we're for each rarity to come out of green\blue\purple engrams so we decided to record all of it. Here was our results
NOTE: We gathered ALOT more greens but for the purpose of the test we wanted to keep it as even as possible, but gathering legendary engrams was taking way too long so we decided to stop and check results. Strange coins\motes came under blue rarity count when decoding blue engrams.
Total engrams gathered
Green: 290 Blue: 250 Purple: 55
Results:
(FOR THE SAKE OF CLARITY I WILL POST THE COLOR OF THE LOOT NOT THE NAME OF THE RARITY)
Pretty interesting results!! Apologies for the poorly executed formatting I don't use reddit too often! Sorry we couldn't get more and I'm sure the numbers would change with a much greater amount of resources but this is just a small idea of what you will get from your engram!!
Thanks for reading :)"

there's a spot in the cosmodome that spawns endless enemies (about 4-5) at a time in the hard to get to area behind where you fight a wizard for the first time... they spawn in a cave... you'll probably see a crowd of people there farming... engrams galore

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my shame GOD.
I did 25 kills/deaths.
I told you guys I had 21... so I was killed a lot of times in sequence and got down to 14... I played one more an up it to 17... and I entered in this one match that I started killing everything (I have luck to get the guys back) and I got SUPER and killed more 3 with it... 25 reached... 8 kills in a row.. I killed one more before die.
After that I died more 3-4 four times because I played without concentration but I get my dog to work again and finish the match in the first place.

yup thats when i have to wait unless i find one. i have 70 marks now but at the weekly limit. getting marks is pretty quick so early next week i can buy it if i dont get one before. im trying to get to 3 now though to see what they give me. im not that far away and tomorrows bounties will help. im also as close to 26 as you can be without being 26, like 1 light away lol

So I was just on a good kill streak, 7 or 8 when I was capping a point. A team mate drove up in a tank, came close to me and then reversed off again. Then they boosted right into me, squished me against a wall and killed me. I found it quite funny but its pretty stupid that that can happen. Still got a new high score in that game! :)

Sunsinger is too OP.
+ SUPER increase all your abilities and make the cooldown close to zero. + Grenades take a shame of damage. + SUPER + Grenades = rapidly toss them out over victims. + Revive you from Death or increase toughness. + Melee recovers your full health and give you extra solar shield.
I'm loving it.

defender is kinda horrible for PvP shield can easily be beaten by any other power even at distance... and melee has no range, but gives you an extra shield... which matters little as defense, armor and toughness are basically meaningless in pvp :-/

EST that's like 5-6 for me and a lil early so I might not be able to make it, but there are 3 confirmed for the raid team already, if you join it will be 4 confirmed! bwest farm chests for mats and trade 'em in for vanguard points that would be the easiest way to have all legendary gear

Just hit 25. I was able to pick up the legendary Vanguard chest and legs. I'll probably end up at 26 once I fully upgrade the gear I have. Should be able to pick up the legendary gauntlets before the weekend. Then I just need to focus on getting legendary and exotic weapons. Already have a legendary rocket launcher. A friend of mine is already level 28.

hahahaha ohkay wow that makes it hella easy.. although you dont always get them. ill be doing alot tomorrow.
i just found my second rare ship today lol
edit: i did 3 tonight, got 1 asc energy.. might take a while still. only 660 more vanguard rep till rank 3 :D i thought the bounties refreshed an hour earlier than they do.. so ill have to do them tomorrow. that should get me super close
how do you find rare ships? im still in the moon though, and just finished one level lol. level 18 now, i keep playing crucible or exploring, loved that hive grave full of level 20's in the earth.
Title: Re: Destiny: the legend fullfills
Post by: BananaKing on Sep 22, 2014, 09:30 AM
but bounties are only once a day. once your done then your left with strikes and patrols. with a team of 3 spit up, you can do enough patrols to earn 400-800 an hour with this guys method
do patrols help with engrams? there is a lot to understand with this game lol. also, when your in a fire team do you all earn points from each other?
Title: Re: Destiny: the legend fullfills
Post by: BananaKing on Sep 22, 2014, 09:43 AM
No kidding. The amount of polish this game has alone should make it worth a higher score than that. Add onto that the fact that it has a competent PvP mode, 15 to 20 hours worth of story to start, plenty to explore, cooperative missions and events, and a dang hard raid as the crown jewel of the PvE content and it becomes mind boggling how this game receives anything less than an 8. A little south of that would be understandable for the game as it was at launch but when you score a game like this THAT low you're basically someone who should not have been allowed to review it, or any other game, anyways.
what bugs me is people saying there is a lack of content, ok, people were expecting more, i get that, but you have a 10 hour story, strikes, high level strikes and at least one raid, which all adds up to around 15 hours at bare minimum. im ignoring patrols, exploring, fire teams, farming, and public events. then you also have PvP which is awesome, and they always add and remove modes every now and then. since when is 15 hours worth of content and a great multiplayer a game low on content? people are saying the gameplay is fantastic, ok, then why was titanfall reviewed much better? it just has a PvP with a few modes. Destiny provides those 15 hours worth of content i spoke of, with great gameplay as well. review system is iced up.

so i've been hoarding engrams for a while now. ..now that i'm lvl 20 is there any reason to keep hoarding or should i blow them all?
also,. why doesn't the weekly strike have matchmaking? how an i suppose farm rep/marks without matchmaking?!?

I have 22 hours so far and not a single piece of legendary gear. Seems like I still have aways to go before I truly max out. Most the reviews for this game are buckshit.

how do you find rare ships? im still in the moon though, and just finished one level lol. level 18 now, i keep playing crucible or exploring, loved that hive grave full of level 20's in the earth.
all the rare ships ive come across so far have been found in random chests, although during the beta i saw someone earn a legendary ship in the iron banner.
do patrols help with engrams? there is a lot to understand with this game lol. also, when your in a fire team do you all earn points from each other?
patrols dont really do much for engrams, but you are killing things so engrams cn drop. this guys method though includes 1 person farming a cave during time one of the others are finishing a patrol. but patrols do earn you vanguard rep, and from level 3 after you start getting decent stuff and you need to be level 3 to buy weapons.
so i've been hoarding engrams for a while now. ..now that i'm lvl 20 is there any reason to keep hoarding or should i blow them all?
also,. why doesn't the weekly strike have matchmaking? how an i suppose farm rep/marks without matchmaking?!?
from what i an tell hoarding them makes no difference. I saved up close to 60 to do all at once for when i was not only level 20 but a really high cryptarch rank and it really didnt make a difference.

I heard joining a fraction was a good way to get legendary gear as you get 1-2 with each level. I'll join one tonight. We'll see.
Title: Re: Destiny: clan raid tomorrow night
Post by: DD_Bwest on Sep 22, 2014, 03:35 PM
Is the est way to get vanguard rep/marks doing patrols or the vanguard strikes?
The easy way is do the bounties... you have six per day with give you a total of ~500 marks in less than 20 minutes (yeap it is that easy to finish the bounties)... so in 5 days you reach a new Vanguard/Faction level.
After that you have:
Strikes List: 10-25 (depends of the level) for each 10 minutes Patrol: 10-20 for each 2 minutes? Daily Heroic Story: 100-200 marks once (I need to check) Weekly Heroic Strike: 100-200 marks once (I need to check)

So patrols are much better than strikes then? I'm getting absolutely no good loot so I'm going to have to buy from vendors.
Title: Re: Destiny: clan raid tomorrow night
Post by: ethomaz on Sep 22, 2014, 04:31 PM
Yeah, but doing vanguard or crucible gives you fraction rank, and each rank give you gear. I don't think you have to pay for that gear.
I know level 3 (and each level after that in any faction/vangard/crucible) give you a Lengenday gear.
The others legendary you have to buy using Marks.
BTW there is a bug in the best faction (my personal view) FWC that are listed the upgrade material with Motes of Ascendant... so it is impossible to full upgrade them because this material doesn't exists in the game... the correct is Ascendant Shards... it will be fixed.

while you get a piece of gear each rank, the factions also sell legendary gear like the vanguard, only they just take crucible marks.

the fastest way to get rep from patrols is the 3 person method on earth, 1 person at the skywatch near the farm cave.. 1 person at the start and the mothyard, 1 person over near where you start the strike. keep as much distance between eachother as possible and do the bounties going down in order of which are more important. VIP assisnation is first, followed by the killing anything missing, and then the collect drop missions. the last 2 are the ones that require you to travel somewhere and stand there, or use the ghost to scan. by keeping the big distances one person can start a patrol and the other person my be super close to the end point. drastically reducing the time it takes to complete those bounties, it also puts more spawn groups within range since your spread out, for the killing/collecting patrols. so its much much faster to add up drops and kills.
while the other person is finishing a patrol you may not be close to, one person can farm the cave, one person can farm spinemetal(mothyard), and one person farms chests

yea it takes having another 2 who want to farm rep lol what ive been doing solo is go to earth patrols and in the start zone there are 3, a VIP will show up like half the time, it sends you not to to far away, sortof near where they drop the devil walker pub event and thats a quick 25 rep.. from there sometimes there will be another one of those right outside which sends you back in which is nice, or a quick kill patrol. then i go to orbit and head back down hoping the patrol is back. if not its usually a kill patrol so ill quickly run around where you spawn and kill those dregs and vandals and you finish super quick. head to orbit and back down, repeat process. so im not spending a ton of time running from beacon to beacon, or to far off places to do a ghost scan lol

Yes... 50-100 reps per bounty... six bounties per day for each Crucible and Vanguard... ~500 reps per day for Vanguard and ~500 reps per day for Crucible... or ~1000 per day for a Faction (reps from Vanguard and Crucible goes to Faction when you are using it gear).

lol I guess I'm just not having fun. I thought I'd be spending loads of time in the Crucible but all of the insta kills are driving me crazy, there's barely any skill involved. Add onto that the huge gap between matches and the crucible isn't anywhere near as good as other multiplayer fps games. Its hard to enjoy the SP content when the loot you get is so random and most of the time poorly executed. It feels like doing strikes, playing the crucible etc. are pointless for gearing up and I should just grind for marks and reputation which is not what I was expecting this game to turn out to be.

you don't have to go back to lower missions to get good gear... really just grind out the vanguard bounties and don't equip a faction class item until you get vanguard up to rank 3... it is actually really simple to get the gear you need if you know what you are doing :P patrols, strikes, special events, raid
sure you can farm and get your cryptarch up to crazy levels but its not neccessary nor does it really help any more than actually doing the bounties and patrol missions and actually earning your stuff... all legendary gear will put you at 25-26 level off the bat

each ticket earns you a legendary gear piece I think at the end of the mission... no ticket no reward
i have 2 tickets left lol it only took one... maybe a ticket per try?

Most MMOs take a lot more time investment to level to max and then get the sick gear. I've played Destiny for about 30 hours and I'm level 26. The two pieces of legendary armor came from grinding Vanguard rep and marks and my exotic helm was because I just barely got enough Strange Coins before the exotic vendor left. The legendary rocket launcher was a lucky drop. I just need to unlock a defense upgrade or two on my armor and I'll be 27. I actually expected getting to this level to take much longer.

Yeah I get what you have to do to get good gear, grind Vanguard points by doing bounties is the best way to do it but I just don't have fun doing that. Angry Legend's review pretty much sums my thoughts up exactly.

i'll be honest,.. i thought it would take longer too. i mean,. i'm playing a lot of destiny but we're only two weeks in and i'm already at the "end game". i think it took me at least 2 months to get to 60 on WoW.

WoW took me forever to hit max level and I came in two months before the first expansion. Don't even get me started on how long it took me to find myself in a competent guild of players to start 10-man raiding Karazhan to get any good gear. Then it took me even longer to find a guild with enough good players to do 25-man raids and progress. It's why I'm dumbfounded by people saying it takes too long to gear in this game. It's been out for two weeks and someone already hit 30 which requires gear in this game to do. That's an insanely short amount of time compared to games like World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy 14, and The Old Republic.

Game is good but not quite great (several reasons, one being that it encourages you to replay the boring easy missions over and over again due to meager rewards for the harder ones) until you reach the epic raid

so how long does this queen's wrath limited time event last? i completed a couple of the bounties yesterday but i'm only lvl 23 and not really sure if i'm going to be able to play a 24 very hard mission. it will take me another week probably of vanguard rep farming to improve my gear in any substantial way.

The Melee of Sunsinger can be choose either Burn enemies, explode enemies or create a frame shield.

New update... Bungie closed the Magical Cave and no more shards in the Queen's mission.
Quote
Summary In Hotfix 5, we made a few changes to reduce the effectiveness of a humbling number of economy exploits. Check out these Destiny Dev Notes to read a summary of our impressions since launch.
Activities
Missions Reduced drop rate of engrams following a hard wipe [fixed in 1.0.1.4]
Queen's Wrath Event Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items
World
Destinations The Hive of the holy "Treasure Cave" have realized the futility of their endless assault on Skywatch and have retired to lick their wounds and plan their next attack. Respawn timers for monster caves in Skywatch have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 6) Respawn timers for monster caves in Forgotten Shore have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in Ember Caves have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in the Shattered Coast have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in the Barrens have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 20)

Same, they made it sound light hearted even though it'll piss many people off
not i. here are the destiny dev notes. what we lose in farming we will gain in other places. i think it is great that they are trying to push the rewards toward the more fun activities because as much as i like loot shooting into that cave is boring. i do it because i want loot but it is for the best of the pursuit of loot is best rewarded from things like successful strikes/raids and not cave farming.
Quote
On September 9th the Bungie team traded late nights building Destiny for late nights playing Destiny with all of you. We'd looked forward to that day for years, knowing that it would bring millions of fresh eyes into our world and quickly change many of our plans and priorities. We were not disappointed.
In the last two weeks there have been many surprises, bugs, exploits, world firsts, and a whole lot of fun. It's been an amazing time. We think now is a great time to step back and let you all know how we think the game is holding up and to talk about some changes we are contemplating going forward.
We will be patching some of these issues as early as today. Others may not be addressed for a month or two. Stay tuned for updates and thank you for all your feedback online.
Loot
He Who Shall Not Be Named Long ago during development, the Cryptarch decoded engrams of a given color into gear of that same color. Early in 2014 we added randomness, both for better and worse, to the decrypting process. The result was that end-of-session engram decoding got a lot more exciting and the Cryptarch himself suddenly acquired a personality. Both of these experiences were positive additions to the game.
But we didn't adequately communicate the potential random outcomes of decryption. Players see what looks like the familiar metaphor of item identification, while the Cryptarch thinks he's opening a grab bag of loot. Rage sharding of blues ensues. Expect to see changes to address this soon.
Destiny: The Cave The social experience of a cave farming run is amazing: the herding to get a team of Guardians all behind the line and firing in the right direction, the rush to grab the loot, the scramble when the panic wave starts, the beckoning glow from inside the cave. The speed at which the community organized around this activity was inspiring and humbling to us.
But shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities.
Reward Celebration Growing more powerful by acquiring new upgrades, gear or progression is central to Destiny's player experience. Our goal is to always celebrate when this occurs, both as a reward in and of itself and to communicate to players what is going on.
During development we sometimes prioritized making a system functional over celebrating its rewards, for example:
The Vault of Glass contains highly coveted loot but the actual moment of reward happens without fanfare and can be easily missed. The lowest level of the Daily Heroic gives great XP and Reputation rewards, but neither of these progressions appears on the postgame screen.
We will slowly be addressing these and other issues going forward.
Social
Voice Communication Our vision for Destiny is that all players, even matchmade players in the Crucible, Strikes, the Tower or public spaces, be able to communicate with one another in a way that promotes positive socialization. Voice communication is the easy answer, but existing voice paradigms, including those in our own Halo games, have not done enough to protect players from abusive griefing from a minority of players.
Destiny's near-term solution will be to allow players to opt-in to voice communication during matchmade activities. Work on this feature was underway at launch and should be rolled out this year in Strikes and the Crucible.
Activities
Strikes Strikes are intended to be a fun, combat-filled romp and stomp with a big boss and cool rewards at the end. Better with cooperation, but doable in a pick up group.
Since launch we've tracked down an issue which has made Strikes more challenging than originally designed by both increasing damage taken by players and decreasing the damage inflicted by players on the boss. Expect to see this addressed soon, and for Strikes to become a little less grindy as a result (sorry, Raiders - incoming damage is working as intended in the Vault of Glass).
Balance
Our goal when balancing Destiny is to never have one player choice-- for example a choice of class or weapon-- either be so much better than the alternatives that it is the only valid choice or to be so much worse that it would always be a mistake to choose. When we are successful with this kind of balance the result is a wide set of equally compelling player builds, some of which may be preferred by one player or another but none of which is an absolute right or wrong choice.
Exotic Weapons Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel and sound overpowered, but to not actually break the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts and expect their idiosyncrasies to sometimes be a little frustrating. We find ourselves wanting to collect them all and hope players feel the same way.
Not all our Exotic Weapons currently live up to this promise. In particular those weapons received from completing exotic bounties including Thorn and Bad Juju have disappointed many of us who have gone through the great effort to obtain them because, despite looking and sounding amazing, they feel underpowered. We're here to offer some advice: don't shard those guns. Their time will come.
Auto Rifles The Auto Rifle archetype is designed to appeal to players who like to throw up a wall of bullets and not worry if a few miss their target. It is intended to inflict sustained damage at close to medium range, but to lose effectiveness at longer ranges.
Today the Auto Rifle is too effective at long range, even beating Scout and Pulse Rifles in some circumstances. Expect stability and/or damage adjustments to the Auto Rifle to address this in the weeks ahead.
Scout Rifles Scout Rifles are for players who like to keep their enemies at medium range and hate to miss. They are intended to be an awkward weapon to use at close range but to be dominant-- as long as you land your shots-- at medium and longer ranges.
Scouts just aren't hitting hard enough today when compared to other precision weapons. We'll be addressing this soon.
Shotguns Shotguns are for those situations where you need to deliver a massive spike of damage, right now, to the thing standing next to you about to do you harm.
Today shotguns are effective beyond their intended range, especially when upgraded with that intention. Expect changes soon to address shotguns which push the envelope of what it means to be close quarters.
Thank you for helping us drive these changes. Keep sharing. Keep talking. We're watching and listening.

I didn't really use the loot cave it was too boring... but you should still get shards from the queens crud I think

shards just seem ridiculous to obtain i'm not even sure the best way to go about getting them
We need to do Raid... 5-10 shards is guaranteed... well just to enter in first part have a chest with (luckily) 2 or more shards... the only issue is that the chests only got reseted once a week (Tuesday).

So the mission on the moon when you first see the temple of crota has definitely been nerfed in terms of engram drops. I literally got 1 blue engram over almost 800 kills. I normally have 4ish by 500 kills. Swear to god I got over 15 greens drop too.

level up your vanguard to rank 2 and buy a piece of legendary gear... one piece gets you close to level 21 to pieces close to 22, 4 pieces gets you close to 80 light and that is 26/27

Ohhhh and when we will play the Raid? I didn't know it resets the chests every week so I entered in a last boss group because I already did last week all the Raid... so I didn't get the chests this week :D

Yeah I was grinding out vanguard rep through bounties, but I ran out of them so I started doing some patrols too. Will try to get to rank 2 tomorrow then I need to get enough marks to buy a piece of gear though so I may be looking to do some vanguard strikes if anyone wants to.

I think it will be there for a while (or forever)... the best rewards (gears) are in the Hard mode lvl 30... after beat it in hard mode I don't know if it open a new one (lvl 32?).
And I do think new Raid will come... in others planets.

i could be wrong but the drops in strikes feel like they are higher. i ran 3 yesterday and was getting a lot of blue engrams when previously i almost only got greens. i think i got 2 blue per strike which puts it at about the same drop rate as the loot cave for me hour for hour.

i could be wrong but i thought they said when describing the two expansions part of the digital guardian edition would have a new strike, a new raid, a new crucible map, and a several new story missions + whatever we get for being on playstation instead of xbox. basically a new planet.

Somebody posted that on Bungie forum.
Quote
After doing a lot of testing with my friends, I think we are on to something here. The emblems the speaker sells may contain hidden buffs and these are the approximations of what we think they do after a bunch of testing and positive results. however, this could be a wild goose chase... so BUYER BEWARE
Blessing of IV Higher loot/glimmer when opening chests
Blessing of the Ancients Higher chance of drops/glimmer from majors or ultras (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Gifted Higher drop rate/cryptarch conversion chance
Blessing of the Joined Higher drop/glimmer chance when in a group (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Knight Higher drop/glimmer chance from Hive (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Sentinel Higher drop/glimmer chance from Vex (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Skeptic Higher loot chance on end game rolls
Blessing of the Speaker Higher drop/glimmer chance the higher light level you are (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Unmade Chance for more Mats when dismantling
Blessing of the Watcher Higher drop/glimmer chance when using your super (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Zealot Higher drop/glimmer chance from The Fallen (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of Worlds Chance of more materials looted in game
Edit: Right now most of this is Theory but i have tested Blessing of the Gifted myself and my drop rates definitely increased, not to mention 2 out of 10 legendary engrams have turned exotic for me. This post is more of a recruitment. I need help proving these. but my friends and i have definitely tested Gifted and IV with positive results. Please post if you can confirm that you experience gains in loot/glimmer/rep/exp with any of these equipped. Thanks for your assistance in advance!
We are also trying to confirm if Headshot kills specifically give a higher loot drop chance
Edit: So, after a few comments I'd figure I need to explain my thought process behind this a bit more. Motes of Light: a rare currency that is used to purchase legendary and exotic items from select vendors, so why would emblems specifically called Blessings cost Motes vs. the rest of the vendors requiring rep lvl and glimmer? Well a blessing suggests that it could have a buff (however hidden from us) attached to it and the additional expense of motes implies that these emblems are worth more, but why would they be worth more if they didn't have some effect? Maybe it is coincidence, and we are digging to far into it maybe it is legit, but we can't be sure if we don't try in the 1st place right!? Do the other legendary emblems have effects or is it limited to just the speaker sold ones? I honestly have no clue, It is possible, but on the other side, it is a game based on a ton of randomness, it could just be coincidental. Finally, it's Bungie and they love putting hidden (almost scavenger hunts) in games in places that we would never expect. So remember, BUYER BEWARE.
Edit again : This could also apply to Cosmetic Class items such as bonds/cloaks/marks. Thank you to the many that have brought up that point! so lets add that to the test shall we!? :)

New patch 1.0.2 next week.
Quote
The 1.0.2 patch will go live next week, and includes several changes to the Cryptarch and Engram experience. These changes guarantee that Engrams will always decode into items at or above the quality of an engram.
Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change.
Cryptarch Changes? Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly. Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items
Activity Changes Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards
Item Changes Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let's be honest--even if you don't, we all know they were blues already...
what about a clan thread? for the above and talking about organizing and playing together sort of thing
A clan scheduale thread sure. Otherwise it'd kill this thread.

Hmm, already got 1 blue engram within like 5 minutes. Also had 2 greens drop in a row. So maybe the emblem does work. Or it's a coincidence. Will see if more blues drop quickly. Hopefully legendaries will drop

Another successful Raid.
Quote from: Admiral Woofington
Gather round children and let me tell you of the story of The Radical Raid Group. It was on a dark night at 10 pm when all members gathered to venture forth towards the adventure. Four of them had never been there before, but with the help of two who already lost their raid virginity they went onward towards adventure.
As they passed the first stage, their bond grew closer, almost to a sexuality exhilarating level. The tension between these Brobiwan Kenobis and those Edgar Allan Bros was reaching critical mass.
Then they beat the first boss, and they cemented their roles in the team. As they reached the Gorgon labyrinth they realized that the drop and title appearance of the area reminded them all of Dark Souls, so as a measure of safety they proceeded to do the only thing Dark Souls fans do when they need a moment of rest.
(http://i.imgur.com/6KIurBg.jpg)
They continued onwards. And after initial attempts at the final boss where tempers were lost and screaming into tiny microphones were occurring, they all thought the bromance was lost. But nobody puts baby in the corner. In this case baby represented all of them so roll with me.
They eventually got the formula down and beat the boss. After many tears and nerdgasms of joy, they congratulated each other and knew at that moment that if marrying a bro was legal and you could like live with them without any naughtiness, they'd do it right there and then. Also if polygamy wasn't socially frowned upon.
They returned to the tower, where they had a most exquisite dance party
(http://i.imgur.com/grv5nK5.jpg)
All of the guardians were super jelly of our brave heroes. But one of them, named Steamtrain or some shame this author can't remember, was so fudgy peanut butter and jelly he decided to try and fudge up the picture by turning on the fan. Little did he know he only made it better because then the gang could take a picture like one of those 80s sitcom endings where they all jump in midair to celebrate
(http://i.imgur.com/grv5nK5.jpg)
After the very long party of one like 3 minutes of strenuous sweaty dancing to honor the memory of Kevin Bacon, they sat down and stared longingly into each others' eyes
(http://i.imgur.com/tg1dwCb.jpg)
"Was that shame dope or what?" asked one of the bros
"Indeed it was broseph" responded another.
"You never forget your first time" said a third bro, as they all giggled like idiots
After looking at the time, they all decided to call it a night, with promises to one day repeat this. Not all of them got the raid exclusive gear you can get from the chests. Heck some of them only got shards and energy. As two of the bros kept rubbing it in Woofington's face all throughout the raid that they had Heart of the Praxic Fire and didn't even care for it, Woofington raged but ultimately he smiled because he...
....Got the last word
(http://i.imgur.com/9Joceil.jpg)
tl;dr Raid completed total elapsed time 3 and 1/2 hours.

anything with +light can level you up. once you hit 20 lvl 18+ blues all have some light stat to them. i was 23 (almost 24) wearing all blues. my legendary helm from the queens mission got me to 24 and yesterday i got the chest which put me to 25 and a half. once i hit lvl 3 vangaurd i can by another legenary (boots, glove) and think i'll hit 26 easily. i could be wrong but i think getting to 27+ is where things will slow down as i'll have to successfully raid or something to reallly improve my gear after that.
10/10 for me. i love this game soo much.

just use what you can until you get something better, I wouldn't bother spending marks on a weapon as once you start getting them you get them more often... also do a lot of vanguard bounties to increas your chances of getting an exotic bounty for an exotic weapon

just use what you can until you get something better, I wouldn't bother spending marks on a weapon as once you start getting them you get them more often... also do a lot of vanguard bounties to increas your chances of getting an exotic bounty for an exotic weapon
Yeah I've been doing about every bounty available each day. I spent my 65 marks on a legendary chest piece and got a legendary helmet from queen's wrath. I've been using The Stranger's pulse rifle that you get when you finish the story. I've got rare auto rifles, but I'm not a fan of those.

define "withheld".
gamers think developers have to provide all current and future works for eternity or else content was "held back". destiny is already a big game with 100s hours of content. how much bigger does it need to be to be "complete"? let's be honest,. if destiny had 25 planets instead of 5 but then gamers found out even more content was coming via dlc they'd still complain that content was "held back".
story mode is about 20 hours. re-playability is through the roof. how is being bigger than almost any other game on the market not enought?!

its just the story thats going around on reddit which has made its way to a number of forums. its apparently content that is on the disc but locked. missions + strikes, a whole faction was apparently taken out of the game, possibly playable area in the reef..
someones game messed up and brought up the areas but everything was locked. one of the missions takes place in kings watch, an area that is in the game but is blocked and we cant get to(in the beta there was a glitch to get there, i did it a bunch of times., im gonna test it shortly to see if i can get there..)

the way i see it,.. it's too much effort to try and find a way to scam the system. i'm just going to play and not care if there was a way to slightly increase my odds of doing better on one engram.

The Vault of Glass's story for these that didn't understand... spoilers.
Spoiler for Hidden:
I decided to share it here because it's pretty awesome lore and deserves better than to be hidden. Having story unlocked through work is great and all but what I am sharing here is something your guardians would know prior to entering the vault. This is what should be handed to you as a brief before you'd set out from the tower.<br /><br />Beneath Venus the Vex have constructed a massive structure that is acting as a meeting point of past, present and future. Their long-term goal is to basically unchain themselves from the constraints of a physical reality and turn themselves into a sort of epistomological computer virus in the very fabric of reality, incorporating the very IDEA of themselves into the fundamental laws of the universe. Because in this space, reality and time are starting to be altered, Oracles and Gorgons are basically quantum supercomputers that calculate reality and utilize a weaponized ontology to determine what is and is not real. This is why a Gorgon can look at you and kill you, because it simply unwrites you from existence. Oracles make changes and revisions to reality, and the Templar/Aetheon processes these calculations into existence.<br /><br />The relic is the last, dying, desperate act of Kabr, a guardian who managed to send word that this was happening. He basically killed a Gorgon himself and hammered its corpse into a vessel for the Light, turning it into a shield that maintains a small space of stable reality around it. Throughout the raid, the Vex are constantly trying to separate you from it, throwing it into the past or future where it can't be used against them.<br /><br />As for some stuff you should earn, here is a taster of info your raid could discover in-character while investigating the vault or getting exotic weapons.<br /><br />All the guns and armor you find in the raid are the remnants of Kabr's failed raid and will give further info about their wielders and the events of the raid itself. In fact, some of the general exotics in the game once belonged to friends of Kabr too. The Super Good Advice machine gun is one such example but comes from the exotic bounties. This was crafted by a hunter named Pahanin who passed Kabr's warning about the Vault from Venus. After witnessing what happened to Kabr he became deathly afraid of being alone; he reckoned that he could only continue existing as long as someone was able to perceive him. So, to ensure that a mind could perceive him at all times he used an AI gun.

i also found other people playing and doing pub events at one point, but the game decided to move them to another game so i would be solo for the next PUBLIC event... we literally were traveling as a pack and as we crossed the zone line, they all vanished and the fudgy event happened.. i guess because i wasnt in the fireteam.. which i wasnt able to be cause they had 3...

new patch is out
Title: Re: Destiny: Raven admits to dressing up like a doll!
Post by: ethomaz on Oct 01, 2014, 05:11 PM
Quote
Summary: With this patch, we address some widely-discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed. Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible.
Cryptarch Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as before Rare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher Chance for Legendary gear increased Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)
Rewards Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for: Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day) Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week) Known issues When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward display You will still get the XP bonus, you just won't see it in the UI
Crucible Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes, bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

You can get one time per week the chests and boss rewards... so if you just got the last boss reward you can get yet the three chests and others bosses.
PS. One time per week in each difficult... so if you play on Hard you can get everything again.

The Legenday amor piece from the Raid is the only way to reach lvl 30... you need one piece of Exotic + Legendary Raid + Legendary + Legendary to reach lvl 30... or two Legendary Raid (I don't remember... but you need the Exotic too).

I only had 6 so I upgraded the very first upgrade that needed ascendant shards. So I'll have to grind for a lot more. I'm about halfway through 25 so I might be able to do the raid. I probably won't be able to do it till tomorrow night if anyone wants to. Probably will be around 11pm est.

@DD_Bwest Where do you start to get into the kings watch?
right at the very start of my video im standing roughly where that servitor is, its got those doors that are kinda diagnol to the other 2 walls, with chest rooms on either side.

do you have to be in the strike mission to get there?

Post by: DD_Bwest on Oct 04, 2014, 02:40 AM
do you have to be in the strike mission to get there?
no.. When you spawn in for patrols, head backwards towards the start of the game, once at the divide, you have the options to go into the spot that you started in mission 1, or head towards the strike. from there if you are unsure, if you stand on the walkway bridge type thing that has the 2knights + 2 acolytes facing the entrance to the strike area, its to the right.

Yeah I'm ready to try it, but I hardly ever play anything for more than a 2-3 hours. Unless I just say fudge it and just play all day. I've got a couple weeks free from school in a couple weeks that I hopefully can play the raid.

i can normally do it every second weekend, with next weekend being the one i can play more. really hoping to do the raid a bunch, and hopefully all clan members to get that trophy. gota do strike that way to, usually one person isnt in the clan

we actually gave a large spread across the globe when you put it like that

How do you guys feel about the DLC being on the disc and people gaining access to certain parts already? A brand new area was found yesterday...I feel it's kind of a shaming thing to do and it's really putting me off from purchasing anything from Bungie if they continue to do shame like this.

All new areas I saw until now is really bugged... not finished yet... so I don't think the DLC is on the disk but only part of it.

disconnected every 10 minutes, cant complete a mission or a strike, and since it doesnt save progress when you get to the further levels to "make it harder" i pretty much cant play tonight..

It is good to have some lvl 30 guys... lvl 29 is not that hard to reach you just need to have all Legendary and one Exotic gear max upgraded... playing Raid you will have enough shards for that.

yea im 28 now, with 3/4 a level to go. i think i have another week of normal raid before ill have enough to get me to 29.

maybe we can be extra pro and do it all without anyone dieing :P
but really.. my god that sounds like a hard trophy
It was not with the cheese points :D
Now with this hot fix you can't use most of them lol and of course it needs to be done in normal with at least lvl 28 to not be killed with one shot :P

i feel like impossible is a better choice of words. at the very least i think we'd all need to be decked out lvl 30's
im sure we will get there at some point. you get used to what comes up during the raids so it gets easier and easier. if everyone knows what to do and doesnt mess about i think it should be manageable. the challange will be getting 6 together at the same time lol

as expansions release and gear and lvl caps increase i think coming back to the vault of glass will be "easy". so yeah,. just getting 6 people together.
however, i got the strike one without a full guildy run. the other guy not part of the guild bailed right before the end boss and we got the trophy anyways.

It is not impossible... the guys in GAF did in normal.
You just need to make in one run without anybody died... the worst part are the mistakes.

Post by: DD_Bwest on Oct 14, 2014, 10:12 PM
yup, i think if we get 6 who are geared set on it, we should be able to do it.

did the patch edit out how much engrams usually drop? because i played a strike yesterday and so many dropped happened. i found an exotic item that lifted me up from level 23 to 25.
also, does the weekly strike not have match making? because it keeps starting me alone. i wanna play with others.
another question, i been playing Crubicle for a lot but still didnt reach crubicle rank 2, how do i know how much i need to go and how much is left? do bounties help?

yes bounties help substantially, its beset t do as many as you can each day. also if you wanna see how close you are to the next level, talk to either of the 2 crucible guys in the hall thats down the stairs towards the vanguard gear guys for the 3 classes. both of them should have the circle to show you have close you are.
no matchmaking for the harder stuff on the side. i really wish they would add it in lol

no but the exotics have a higher max light, only the raid gear and exotics can get to 30, and since shards arent that easy to come by, i didnt use any on my old legendary helm. so its like an 8 light difference once i upgrade the exotic(using the shards i have saved up)
edit: the legendary sparrow is just super fast lol you can "build" one by buying/finding a rare sparrow, and using the speed upgrade from Xur

The players being random is who I thought it was when I first played... I was surprised when I read the last 3 guys were teleported.
It will be more fun and everybody will learn the two roles.

You are lucky.
I was trying to get boots because there is no Exotic boots for Warlock... and in the last two weeks I got 3 helmets, 2 gloves and 2 chests... no boots... until today.
While the boots didn't come I level up one Gloves and one Chest... and I have one Exotic Gloves lvl max and one Exotic Chest at lvl middle... so I can switch any time.

edit: ya i spent like an hour and a half at the temple of crota lol got a sucker load of xp but still like 3 1/2 circles to max them out lol tomorrows bounties should do a good dent. I could only imagin how powerful the mytho was doing 33% more lol especially since i just unlocked the magazine size increase. went from 21 to 54 lol my new gear set up will be substantially better then my old one to with my new helmet/chest combo. my intel bonus is 100%, i get extra special for killing enemies of darkness, and i can drop orbs from critical hits on vex lol i just need to finish leveling them

Not going to happen. Raids are difficult to develop because they have to be tuned in just the right way and have to represent something you haven't seen anywhere else up to that point. Making an expansion dedicated entirely to raiding is a dangerous idea for any game of this nature because the difficulty of the content makes it exclusive as opposed to inclusive. It is far better for the health of the game to have all expansions offer a wide range of content or something that everyone can easily get involved in. Making one that only a relatively small amount of the player population will enjoy due to its barriers will, without a doubt, cause a great many people to lose interest as no one wants to be told that they have to wait for 6 months to get more of the content they enjoy or are capable of doing while a much smaller portion of the player population gets loaded with what they enjoy.

If you updrage your normal Legendary gear you get just up to lvl 29.
You need a Raid Legendary gear (3 or 4) to reach lvl 30.

I am literally at a point where i can only advance when the games RNG decides to let me. this is so stupid. it wouldbt be as bad if i could do the raid more then twice a week, but i could literally be stuck where im at for weeks until i find gloves. so fudgy stupid

yup, the randomness of the game is finally getting to me, expecially since your limited on the number of "rolls" you get of the dice each week. you are literally at the mercy of RNG again.
i mean, if the game was smart enough to know what raid gear you need and actually gave it to you that would be one thing, but getting dupes over and over while your stuc waiting for 1 piece of armor is fudgy retarded. No leveling based system ever should be reliant upon rng, its just asking for fudgy problems.

We already did the weekly strike... so you need to do Tiger Strikes in play list until get one.
The exotic AR is Suros Regime... people love it and you will love it on PVP too.

I used to get a ton my mining engrams since they can end up being coins. But they made farming harder. Tiger strike might be a good way

Okay i messed up, i need a strang coin not a mote of light, whats the fastest way to get those? I dont have much time i need to get it by tomorrow!
Ir is how he said.
Play the Tiger Strike and you will get storage coin or engrams that could be strange coins... if you need only one I guess you will get with few strikers... needs luck of course.

This is how you proper do a Raid Hard with two guys.
Quote
Just to get this out of the way, we had to bring another person in for the maze. If you arrive at the maze with only two players, it doesn't initiate the darkness zone and the end of the maze is sealed. If we could do that part with two people we would, but it's literally impossible. Special thanks to Beaman23 for carrying us with his OP hunter.
This was not a single smooth run. We wiped a ton of times - literally 2000 pounds worth of wipes. If you think this is easy, I implore you, try it with a friend. Seriously. We've both played a lot of games, and this was the hardest thing that either of us has ever done. We're talking harder than 50 in every Halo 3 playlist (Slayerage), and harder than multiple world 1st boss kills in WoW (Judul/sc Furball).
Special thanks to Gjallakarhorn for making this just a little easier.

idno, their are small things that bug me about the game. most maps are tiny, and when it spawns heavy ammo its like in 1 spot, so its basically like randomly giving 1 person the ammo because there is no real fight for it. someone is basically already standing next to it and will pick it up instantly. I like how itll drop heavy ammo. i think it should just slightly bump that and stay away from the random chest spawn. Then people can actually work for their stuff. shotguns are also really stupid, i can start shooting someone in the head, and they will have enough time to turn around and 1 shot me.. and im using a god dang mythoclast. It also lags like no tomorrow. I dont mind the lag in pve as much since its not to hard to do a bit more damage to a guy, but last night i hit someone with a rocket launcher and it didnt even register. and the amount of times i have shot someone, they run up and melee kill me, only for them to die from my bullets 2 seconds after that while running away.. And my god i wish they would fix the dang golden gun. every other classes special when used is instant, and kind of makes them really really hard to kill. The golden gun when used starts with a second and a half of pulling the gun out and holding it in the air while yelling "shoot me everyone".
and i am getting sick as fudge about trying to earn that triple play trophy, i have got so many 5-7 kill streaks i dont count them, but i have yet to get that trophy because their is never enough fudgy variety in what people are playing as. unless its just glitched as fudge because while playing i got a "triple play" thing in the middle of the screen, but never got a trophy
there we go, end rant :P

Summary This update makes Destiny a more stable experience for all players. We're also changing the player experience in the Raid to ensure that the activity provides an endgame challenge that meets project goals for the intended level of difficulty.
General Fixed an issue in which multiple errors reported with Zebra error codes Errors previously reporting as Zebra will now display as their own separate codes Fixed a rare issue related to being Kicked To Login repeatedly Fixed a rare issue that resulted in a Kick To Orbit reported with the Cockatoo error code
Servers Fixed an issue where some players would occasionally be erroneously kicked at the beginning of an activity due to a server error Increased protection against account corruption
Raid Fixed an issue where Atheon was not choosing random targets for teleport through the timestream during the final encounter on the Vault of Glass Fixed an exploit where Atheon could be forced off his platform
More updates are to follow as we continue to support Destiny. Future enhancements being worked on include Exotic Weapon tuning, new features for voice communication between matchmade teammates, and the ability to hold more Bounties in your pocket at any time.

Yeap... they really know what to do... ir was the second time I play with them... I wanted to help on normal but it was too late for me.
We did the Hard before this normal (they are using alts in the normal) and a guy needed to drop in the Gorgons and I invited you to get the chests and help us in the gatekeeper part... when you replied another guy already got in (we did all the Gorgons and Jump with 5 guys).
We didn't beat Atheon due weird bugs... so it is the only part I need to play :D
Most guys wants Boots and you Gloves lol dam RNG.

I was just looking through the details of the expansion and oh dear its pretty poor. I'm honestly ashamed of myself for buying the limited edition now, then again I wasn't to know the game would turn out average
I'm actually relieved cause me and my friend just got rid of it.

A little question; If you get an Exotic (or Legendary) something but you don't have the right class, can you store them in the safe and take it with another character? If so then I wasted 2 Exotics by taking them apart ... :(

Yeap... that is why my Titan jumped from lvl 20 to 26 in 10 minutes... I used all Exotic and Legenday I got with my Warlock but it was to Titan.
I already have one Exotic and two Legenday to hunter already... just need to level it to 20 to equip them.

It is 20 xp for common enemies and 35-50 xp to the major/ultra.
yea i wish it showed at higher levels as well, i was just trying to calculate how fast i would gain xp from certain areas. but it dont matter anymore. i am level 30 lol
Title: Re: Destiny: Raid in COUNTDOWN
Post by: BananaKing on Nov 02, 2014, 09:22 AM
In any case you need to start from lvl 1.. the Legendary and Exotics can be used only after lvl 20... so you need to reach lvl 20 and equip them to reach lvl 25/26.

The loot system is fine to me... one Raid and got all the gears I needed.
BTW they announced over 13 million unique players.
i don't like that getting a new peice of gear means i lose level until it is upgraded. i don't like that (other than the exotic bounties) i don't know what i'm working towards. i don't like that lvl is like the 95% importance on armor and how few opportunites i get to get gear that matches my prefered bonuses i'm quite pissed that the expansion reset all my progress on exotic weapons and it most likely will get reset again in 2 months making the playing i'm doing today feel like i'd be better off not playing.

I Finalmw did the Crota End... it was another smarter level design from Bungie but have a lot of flaws.
- It is not big like the previous Raid. - Less big bosses - Less chests - You can solo it until the Crota boss in five minutes but it is more fun in group - Crota needs at least 2 guys... it is more smarter than the Atheon to kill but it is easy.
Loved but Bungie needs to work better.

I'm almost done with my exotic bounty to get thorn. Just got to kill someone and it's mine! That will leave me with 3 exotic primaries. And i just had a purple engram turn into a yellow machine gun. Now i just need some shards and i might be able to hit level 31 one with my current gear.
Who's still playing this game?
All the changes they've made have made me addicted again. Looking forward to the next dlc. Let's just hope they plan to add new planets after the next one. Or bring on two, with a better way to tell the story, than they currently have. PVP is like crack now, not sure whats different about PVP but it feels much better than it did before. Liking it a lot, only took about 8 games to get 500 points for the thorn boundy. Sniper all they way, lol. But i was pulling some sick games with it, like 20 and 5. Not to shabby.

not me. its time to move on my taco man, the time of hunting rhinos with molotovs and arrows. the time of running like a bedspring from dogs but facing tigers head on. the time of trying to destroy a military truck exporting cargo while trying to also kill a random lieutenant you just fond on the street. the time of taking a short cut to your destination by driving straight down a cliff with a truck. the time of killing humans, hunting tigers and leopards, taking over enemy bases all while riding an elephant like a bad dog, then skinning it once the poor thing is brutally killed from all you put it through. the time of healing your self by removing a bullet from your hand after you taken damage by crashing your car into a tree.
the time of running after a monkey like a monkey, just trying to stab it to death. the time where your wiling to burn acres of land just trying to kill one person. the time when psycho paths run at you with machete's when you have a fudgy grenade launcher in your hands. the time of having high speed chases with another darn military truck while riding what seems to be a one man helicopter that theoretically shouldn't fly but does, while shooting like a maniac with an uzi at anything that moves under you.
the time of just walking around opening chests that have birth control in them as out of no where an alligator jumps out of the water and bites the living shame out of the woman right in front of you while you shoot at it like a crazed person not to try to save the baby, but so you can skin the alligator and make a new shinny wallet or something for yourself. the time where for some reason, everybody is looking to you to solve the crisis of the civil war while you just really want to shoot things in the face and bang the hot girl who keeps talking about war shame and stuff. the time when the logical thing to do after hearing gun fire is to follow it. the time for crying far far away, its the time for Far Cry 4.
all these things actually happened with me. and fudge man, i need to go make a thread out of this lol.

Started to replay the game with another class (Warlock). What any easy class to play with, has almost nothing to do with skills it's just very overpowered if you compare it with the Titan-class. I hope Hunter is more of a challenge to me, because Warlock isn't that fun so far (Lvl 13).

I think its on your end man. I've been kicked once and that was yesterday during that psn hick up.
That's almost impossible. I have the same provider as my brother who lives just one street away from me (200 meters), I have a faster connection compared to his and I've got everthing connected with cables while he's got everything wireless. I've renewed my cables about 1 month ago and I'm only 5 feet away from the router. Have no problems with anything besides Destiny. My connection: Download 48.01Mb/s and Upload 17.70Mb/s; http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4063336224 (http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4063336224)
[edit]Just had contact with my friend who helped me install the new cables and he told me that the new cables aren't protected ... So that could actually be the problem because my other internetconnection (different provider just for my TV's and the living room) which goes through the same walls could cause some troubles. I ordered some protected/shielded cables and will install them tomorrow. Hope this helpes, because is kind of frustrating when you almost won a(n) (Iron-Banner-)game and it disconnects. It happened 2 times last night and happens a few times when I play all day. Maybe Destiny needs a really stable connection, because everything else works like a charm.

Sorry I had to run yesterday. Did you guys finish the raid?
It is fine... we didn't passed the part you dropped off because I couldn't explain the right way and we didn't found one more guy to have 6 and do in the legit way. I was too weak (lvl 30) to hold myself alone in the other side of the bridge and I couldn't explain to your friend lvl 31 how to do the job there :( DAT issue with language.
But it was really fun ;)

Just to people know Bungie posted a super patch with a lot of weapon balancing... the notables changes:
+ Shotgun is finally usable in PVE (you can kill Praetorian with 2 shots... everybody is using shotgun now for fun to kill yellow enemies) + The web and mobile app allow you to change weapons, armor, items from the vault to your char in real time (it is amazing cool... it drops in your screen like a new drop) + Heavy ammo bug fixed + Matchmaking in the Weekly Strikes + Gitched grimories fixed + A new way to see reps in the UI (cool)
According to an image posted by @AgriosEndendros, it appears a new Red Bull promotion has confirmed The Taken King as the name of the next expansion (or the major expansion) for Destiny. The Taken King name first appeared when Bungie registered a trademark for it earlier in May. Activision has stated that this falls addition would be the biggest content addition to the game yet. Theyve havent announced official details regarding this as of now; were expecting to hear news on this at E3 in two weeks.
The controller is a little weird. Is it a dealcal or paint?
Decal.
