i'm level 16 and have been playing alone. it's all been easy as hell. it gets intense at times, but i just run/jetpack away like a little bitch until my shield and grenade recharges and then go fuck shit up.

i've put all my shit to as much armor as possible. i hardly use storm fist or whatever so idgaf about recharge time for melee.

the story bothers me. it's always the same shit; fight your way into some place, hack in with the ghost, fend off a couple waves of enemies, kill a boss, the end. and the no respawn points bother me. it just seems like they're trying to troll people. there's nothing that pisses me off more than to get far in a mission, accidentally fall off a cliff while dicking around and have to start all the way over for no damn reason. it hasn't happened yet, but i know when it does i'll probably stop playing for a few days lol

it is a lot of fun though and i never play fps games. i'm sure once i get a couple friends playing and they add more content it will become even more amazing.

stevenrapids · 09-16-2014, 05:19 PM

Definitely 10x better when playing with friends.

You level up solely based on the amount of light in your armor.
Do those bounties!! I was dumb and kept playing at the crucible when I could've been getting extra experience and reputation while doing so!
(Even if you have enough crucible/vanguard marks, you have to be a rank 2 to get any items! so start your bounties now)

Also, anyone have any exotic gear yet?
I only have one legendary gun so far, and it's a machine gun.. lol

i got the SUROS Regime from my first legendary engram from PVP

its completely random, but there does seem to be a point where they start dropping more often. legendary engrams are very seldom

me and a friend kept getting paired up with an idiot during strikes and he literally didnt do shit except constantly get killed.

its definitely more fun with friends. i wont even do strikes without at least one buddy. pvp is typically better solo imo though because my friends suck ass at it hahaha

One question. Do you get different engrams while using different primary weapons? I use an auto rifle and always get green engrams, but my buddies use hand cannons and get blue engrams and a few have gotten purple engrmas(legendary stuff).

You will be able to have a bigger fire team for the Raids that are coming out. Nothing else. If you are familiar with MMO's, raids are typically much harder than other content and require advanced strategies and superb communication. Will be interesting to see how Destiny pulls off a decent raid. For example, in WoW a raid such as Onyxias Lair, when it first came out, took many high end guilds multiple tries and wipes to figure out how to beat it. Generally they took 60 people, all on the same page and 1 mess up meant 3 hours of wasted time for everyone. Just youtube Raid Rage and you will get some quality stuff on there of people wigging the fuck out on someone. Hell, the famous Leroy Jenkins is a prime example of this.

ZenkiKid, yes the game is easier, although you simply cannot do somethings without a fireteam, but it is definitely more fun with friends. The mandatory dance party after clearing the Boss in any level always brings some laughs. If you were on xbox one I would say u can add me and all my friends, all super chill and always up for a laugh.

Feel free to ask away about the game, if we keep an open discussion going we can all learn and help each other succeed.

Hunter for life!

The race to defeat Destiny's toughest challenge begins

Quote:

The raid is called Vault of Glass and is only available to characters level 26 or higher. It also requires six players, and remember: all must be friends; there's no matchmaking for the raid.

Bungie has described the Raid as the hardest challenge available in the online first-person shooter so far, but the rewards are tantalising: there's a raid set of gear up for grabs, as well as high level materials.

"Not everyone will qualify," Bungie said. "Among those who do, not everyone will succeed. To even approach this trial of teamwork and combat, the Guardians in your Fireteam will need to be Level 26.

"Bring with you a team that has made the commitment to work together. Configure your loadouts so that you are powerful together in a variety of ways. Communicate with each other. The Raid will demand that you operate as a team. Cooperation is the key to your success."

Bungie added that it is unlikely players will finish the raid in one sitting. Your progress will be saved for one week, but to resume your mission where you left off, you need to follow the same Fireteam leader.

stevenrapids · 09-16-2014, 09:03 PM

Anyone wanna give some insight on the different ways to obtain legendary weapons/armor? There are so many aspects to the game that I have no idea about at this point.

Yup, sounds about right. Can't wait for the frustration.

ZenkiKid · 09-17-2014, 01:52 PM

HOLY CRAP. It took that team almost 11 hours

This must be how they looked like:

"MOM! MORE HOT POCKETS!"

theronin · 09-17-2014, 02:53 PM

It's grueling doing end tier content. That's one of the reasons I stopped playing WoW. 11 hours is insane. Someone will figure out how to beat it faster and that will permeate the Internet then it will be the norm. Then the next raid will drop, wash, rinse, repeat

ZenkiKid · 09-18-2014, 09:24 AM

I should be lvl 20 by Friday night. Cant wait to upgrade to light

theronin · 09-18-2014, 10:42 AM

Been delving into the Crucible more, so far I've got 2 purples and about 8 blues from about 2 hours of play, not to mention the rep. You don't have to do well to get gear, just play. Slowly getting my team up to 26 in prep for the raid.

LoneStarSilvia · 09-19-2014, 07:53 AM

What class and subclass are you guys liking so far?

Still waiting for my pre-order to show up here in Japan, I watched the class break downs, but still can't decide what I like. Thinking Warlock and VoidWalker

Crucible is tough for the hunter class. Titans have the advantage due to their shield

Just no. I can wipe an entire team with my Arc Blade spec Hunter. Seen 2 Titans with shield in all my playtime in crucible, we just avoid him until it's gone. I'd rather a shield spec Titan than that ridiculous stomp they always use. The cooldown on specials is so big they are hardly the deciding factor in Crucible, it's map knowledge, and how well you can shoot/maneuver. If you haven't adjusted your sensitivity on your sticks yet, you may want to look into that. big difference in who gets the kill by being able to turn faster. If there was a setting higher than 10 I'd be all over it.

dpak · 09-19-2014, 07:29 PM

FINALLY! LEVEL 24! Anyone else level 24 or higher?
I want to attempt a raid.. but I don't have enough friends that are level 24 yet..

Also, I was super confused when they gave me a bounty to complete Salvage matches,
and we can't even do them anymore..

I hope they work that out soon, I heard they're really fun.

Salvage matches don't exist yet. I'm lvl 25 and I got 4 real life friends, all 24+ you on xbox or ps?

JDMB0iKT · 09-19-2014, 10:17 PM

I'm a level 25 Hunter

I would be down to do a raid with you, just gotta find more people for the fireteam.

I'm on PS4 btw.

voidwalker sucks. either go sunsinger or a diff class. atm with hunters and titans being op as hell, even though warlocks are balanced, theyre very underpowered compared to the other two

PvP isn't that reliant on supers. They account for maybe 30% of deaths I'd say. It's all in the hands of the player and their gun/melee play. I've seen warlocks take out 4-5 guys in control in 1 hit many a times. I can't stress enough how important upping your sensitivity is guys. You can really tell who has it upped and who doesn't pretty quickly. if I can do a 180 half a second before you, guess who's getting sent to respawn? It takes some adjustment, but once you get used to it you will wish you could crank it past 10

O$mo · 09-21-2014, 09:43 AM

I'm level 8, and so far been killing it on my own, but i can tell im going to need a squad when its going to get real

ZenkiKid · 09-21-2014, 09:45 AM

I spent my whole day farming yesterday for the first time and I didnt get any legedary engrams.

But it was able to boost me up to level 20 quickly. Besides rare engrams farming is a sure fire way to level up fast

I learned yesterday when I fireteamed with somebody that you are the only one who can see the engrams if you get the kill. I thought this whole time everybody sees them.

EnemyS15 · 09-21-2014, 08:59 PM

Im stuck at level 28... need those damn ascendent shards and powers to level my gear past 28.

Started a warlock to get shards and powers easier. That way i can feed them to my main hunter

Yeah, if u can see it, it's yours. Eliminates ninja looters. Took my friends and I a whole to get used to it.

AlexG · 09-21-2014, 11:53 PM

Honestly I was expecting more with the pvp.... there needs to be big teams with vehicles and capture the flag... bungee is not sticking to their roots on this one IMO

There are 6v6 arenas with vehicles. There's a whole separate play list for it, you may have to rank up to unlock it though.

ZenkiKid · 09-22-2014, 12:34 PM

Currently level 23.

Ive only gotten 2 legendary engrams during my play time (including farming) and they both ended up being either just rare coins or some shit that it isnt for my class. Frustrating.

When you say farming what exactly do you mean? Oh and strange coins are very valuable, there is a vendor that shows up on weekends only that sells exotics for strange coins. Armor - 13 coins, weapons - 23 coins. Do your daily and weekly strikes and save up those bad boys!!

ZenkiKid · 09-22-2014, 03:04 PM

Yeah I know about that weekend vendor.

I go to certain missions/strikes and constantly spam particular areas where there is a high amount of npcs that spawn in hopes of engram drops.
