haha thank you

stevenrapids

Kinda sucks that you don't get ascendant shards from dismantling legendary items you receive for the queen's missions. Gotta level up my armor and need ascendant shards bad.

I tried it. It was actually more fun than other PvP, mostly because the maps are bigger.

theronin

Well considering that one of the missions for queens can be done in under 10 min, I'd say it's ok. At one point I had 8 chest pieces and 5 helmets from her....

ya the warped drive mission on earth was stupid easy. I had like 6 helmets and 3 chest pieces so i can't complain. Now I have my items maxed till I can get ascendand shards so im at a stand still. I still have yet to get anything worth a shit in PvP.

If you inspect an item then hover over materials you can see what it will disassemble into. I've had a few friends buy vanguard gear only to disassemble for the shards. Glass vault is a good way for shards too. A couple chests give those bad boys out!

Have you done the raid yet? I watched a video of it and it looks pretty tough. I think my buddies and I are just gonna continue to prepare for it till we have a break over thanksgiving to actually all sit down at the same time and complete it.

Did the first part last night. Took.us about 2.5 hours. Now that we understand how to do it we could prob shave an hour off of it. We also had a guy who has done it 2 times, he showed us the ropes and explained everything. Dunno how the hell we woulda done it without his tips. Takes alot of coordination and communication.

Iron Banner is definitely interesting to see the difference in time to kill for all the different weapons. Definitely a bit of a struggle for me with my best auto rifle only having 211 damage and 21 rounds per mag. That being said I do enjoy it more than the vanilla PvP, I just wish I could play Iron Banner Skirmish or Iron Banner Clash instead of only Control being available.

On a side note finally got my first exotic! Got the Sunbreaker warlock gloves from a legendary engram. And not too long after that I got an exotic weapon bounty which I'm still working on fulfilling.

stevenrapids

Yeah I definitely wish they had iron banner clash. I just started playing skirmish tonight and it takes a pretty well rounded team to do well. Every team I played all camped in the same room and we had to really get a game plan together to win. Pretty fucking fun I must say.

What bounty did you get?!?!?

Skirmish is my favorite PvP mode... it can also easily be the most frustrating lol

I chose the one titled "Toland's legacy" which rewards you with bad juju. The other choices were Thorn and invective. Thorn didn't really have any cool attributes IMO, 6 shots and a painfully slow reload didn't help it either. Invective seems like it could be a beast in PvP being a fully auto shotgun but I'm more of a sniper than a cqc player so bad juju seemed the best fit at the time.

These exotic bounties are no joke though, I solo'd the weekly heroic strike for the first portion, now I have to do 25 strikes, of which I've only done 7... Then there's two more steps until I get the gun.

LoneStarSilvia

Exotic bounties?

I have not seen this....guess I need to get back on it.

Ok, I see EXACTLY why people are pissed about the Hunter class in PvP.

Thorn is apparently a beast in PvP due to its perk of poison on the target. Doesn't allow shields to recharge. I have both Bad Juju and Invective, Juju is ok at best, maybe after they rebalance guns for Pvp it will be better, but as of right now it's meh. Invective is good in PvP, but it's monster recoil and super long reload time kills it. Firing it in full auto means you are looking at the ceiling when you are done firing. No shotgun should ever be fired in full auto in PvP. 1 shot and melee is all you need. I laugh when people say hunters are OP in PvP. We are the definition of glass cannon who get the opportunity to shine every few minutes. Just know, when a Blade Dancer hunter is in his special, you can kill him. When a titan or a warlock are doing their damage special they are invincible. I've been killed MULTIPLE times when I'm in my special and I go to melee them, only for them to laugh it off, and 1 hit KO me.

Want something to bitch about in PVP? Try the Suros Regime auto rifle, or the Vex Mythoclast. Specials are dick compared to what those rifles do.

I read something about that vex mythocast and it being a huge OP weapon in PvP. Isnt the only way to get that gun by beating the raid on hard or something?? Is there a way to get exotic bounties or are they just all luck?

I picked bad juju more for PvE than PvP where i prefer an auto rifle to a pulse rifle. Invective was certainly my last choice of the 3 seems more novelty than anything, but I didn't realize Thorn was that good. I hear both Thorn and Bad Juju are going to get buffed soon so we'll see how they turn out.

Really hoping for the Patience and Time Sniper Rifle and or the Suros Regime

Edit: Just saw someone call the Iron Banner "The Suros Regime Aiming Contest" LOL

Yeah best way to get them is just do as many bounties as possible. It's pretty much random as far as I can tell. I know alot of other people think turning in multiple bounties at once raises your chances but I got it from only turning one in so idk if that makes a difference.

ZenkiKid

With the blade dancer subclass yes.

The special = God mode + aimbot. Just need to spam the melee button and its an almost guaranteed frag.

Yeeup, fuck PvP, got a firsthand encounter with that bullshit Vex rifle. I'll stick to the other stuff until I get bored.

Lol told ya. Suros Regime and Vex Mythoclast are God in PvP for the moment. that's why I think it's funny yall are complaining about Ulties.

i feel so n00b

ZenkiKid

I cleared VOG in 2:22 with 5 other experienced players.

Its extremely easy if you are patient and if you are with people who have done it before.

Disappearing rocks area is easy if youre a hunter with triple jump. I damn near jumped all the way across without using any of the disappearing portions.

PS4 right?

Plug the jack into the controller right under the PS button, then hold the PS button until you get the home menu. Go to "Adjust Devices" and change your headphone output to chat only.

Or if you have a wife like me who complains that I have the TV too loud, you can change it to output all game audio if you've got good headphones.

Also as far as I know, I think you can only hear the people that are in your party? Not totally sure about that one, but I've never heard anyone else besides the guys in my party.

cool thanks. makes sense you can only hear people in your party

theronin

My group is stuck on the final boss. We keep having issues with the portal spitting people either back to where you came from, or into a different area all together. Very frustrating.

Glad to hear you cleared it, did you get to all 5 chests??? Any loot to brag about?

The portal issue:

Dont sprint and dont go through the portal at the same time. just go through it one by one without sprinting. That will prevent the glitch.

Only thing that I got to really brag about was that I scored a Monte Carlo exotic auto rifle from one of the chests. We only went to 3 chests.

Oooooohh daaaammmmnnnn! Just googled ur rifle and I wants. First off I love the simplistic look of it. Second I'm a heavy melee user and that gun would be a dream pvp gun for me. Great find!

Thanks for the advice on the portals, I'll let my team know. Also did you guys cheese the first boss by using the floating platform, or did you fight him straight up?

__________________

ZenkiKid

We fought him straight up.

I was with 5 players who have done the raid numerous times and know what works and what doesnt.
