I'm glad I switched to FWC. It seems to have what I am looking for. The grind to Rank 3 is gonna suck though, but at least I am getting some Legendary gear now.
and after being fucked by the dice rolls for weeks, Destiny finally helped me out.
I was level 28 and had 2 legendaries that I paid for. After some grind I had 10 legendaries and was upset that one of my friends lucked into two exotics on back to back days.
On Thursday I got an exotic bounty for a handcannon, I bought an exotic sniper from Xur, got an exotic heavy machine gun as a crucible drop and then another exotic bounty for a shotgun.
4 exotics in 4 days. 8-)

This fucking game lol. Quit the game last night before even seeing what my last Clash match would award me, I logged on just now and it's a Legendary Heavy Engram: a L20 shotgun.
I fucking hate my super. Useless piece of shit.
Switch your sub class to sun singer, shit looks crazy.
sunsinger is the best PVE class
bungie gave zero thought to classes in general though. the design is awful. and it gets worse when super interesting alterations to skills are limited to exotics armor.
there are so many fucked up things about destiny

I started but the grind was even moreso unbearable.I fucking hate my super. Useless piece of shit.

Also, switched my DNS servers to Google's and MTU to 1492. Saw an increase to 45Mbps down, which was significantly up from the 16/5 I was getting before.
Oh, and yes. I've been ethernet this entire time.

Bladedancer invisibility is too good for PVE.
I run through levels that don't require you to kill enemies to proceed. Great for solo-ing daily or weekly challenges and it comes in handy when playing with friends when it comes to reviving people.
Crouch for 5 seconds, you go invisible. When you melee with a full meter, you go invisible. Use your super, press R2 and you go invisible. Plus I equip the power for longer lasting invisibility.
Just strolling by waves of enemies.
The invisibility and crazy-ass Supers for Hunters needs to get nerfed for PVP. When you have more than half of people PVP that are Hunters, it becomes a compounding effect.

Just remember to switch classes when you have to do patrols, easy story missions or ESPECIALLY right before you turn in a bounty. You can swap between them on the fly, it'll be fully unlocked in no time.

Bladedancers need to have the extra shield removed, Warlock Nova needs a smaller radius, Titan bubble needs shorter duration or less resistance to damage, Titan smash needs a smaller radius and needs to stop with the extra armor, sunsinger needs to not be able to add additional shield with melee and a longer cooldown on nades.
The only honest Super in the game is golden gun. It's a one hit kill, but you can easily get one shotted with a shotgun/nade/heavy while its equipped and it actually requires that you can aim and hit someone.
I hit a Titan in the chest with a golden gun during his smash, I died and he had a sliver of health left. That's some bullshit. Heightening your defense makes no sense when a super makes you offense incredibly powerful. The only exception to that is the golden gun and titan bubble and the bubble is far too strong for PvP. I'd even accept letting them shoot from inside the bubble if the bubble wasn't so heavily armored.
Warlock Nova doesn't need a smaller radius. It's completely useless and only good in open areas. I've had about a 25% success rate with that thing. Last match I played on Exodus Blue, had several opposing players in a wide open field, jumped up, and it hit a fucking tree and got stuck. There's too many obstacles in PVP maps to make Warlock Nova useful.
Not to mention that while a Warlock is executing the Nova, the character is completely unprotected and vulnerable making him an easy target.

The execution on the Nova is booty no doubt. Your not wanting a smaller radius I think is just a symptom of the shitty way you have to perform the super though. Warlocks already have the least amount of armor, having them jump in the air in slow motion to throw a nova is really dumb. They should have just made it like a hadouken, stay on the ground shoot the nova like a nade, multiple shots might have been a good way to compensate for a smaller hit area. They tried to strike a balance between a powerful super and vulnerability and I think they went too far in both directions. So the warlocks either feel cheated when they get picked out of the sky, or the other players are cheated when they die without being the target of the super.
The radius on it is still entirely too large even in verticality, being at the height of a double jump should be enough to escape it. I have been killed by Warlocks who didn't even know I was around, and feeling cheated in a MP is about as bad as you can make a player feel in a competitive MP.
That sums it up well, I think. Novas are vulnerable against like... boxes and trees and shit? I can't remember the amount of times I'd hit a pillar or something stupid and then die.
Also, what's the deal with melees? I swear, only Warlocks require two melee strikes to kill someone. I always die within the first hit, especially against Titans.

Hunters are the same. Takes at least 2 to kill, and two to die unless it's a Titan then they can one hit you and they can survive two melees hits if they spec for defense.
Giving a class the most armor and hardest hitting melee is yet another dumb decision. I get they're supposed to be the game's heavies but for the sake of balance you can't have 1 of 3 classes able to take 2 melee hits and chug along just fine while killing people with just one of their own. I get they tried to balance it out by making Titans slower but that means nothing when it comes to a firefight and both of you have to be exposed to each other to some extent.
Warlocks aren't viable in PvP because Bungie didn't take the glass cannon aspect of the class to its logical conclusion. Warlocks should have the 1 hit melee kills and deaths, maybe take two to kill a Titan. Just say they hit with magic or some shit and everyone would buy it and say Titans can't strike as hard because of the heavy armor weighing them down
I'm honestly trying to figure out what advantages Warlocks have in PVP versus other classes and I just can't.

Sunsinger looks way more consistent in PvP, the super makes way more sense for the class. Crazy armor, crazy regen on health.
Patch is out. AR damage, damage stacking and stability turned down. Scout damage went up, handcannons aim better and shotguns lost more range.
ehhhhh
doesn't feel substantial outside of PvE and in PvE it just made AR slightly less effective.
pretty shit patch.

I got an exotic weapon bounty: Finish 5 Strikes without DYING.
Bungie, you trolling.
That the shotgun one right?
It's easy cause they don't have to be consecutive. I just did the regular story version of the earth strike 5 times. Didn't even do the strike, I farmed spinmetal and did public events. Got a few angry messages but if Bungie is gonna give me some fuckshit like that then I gotta do what I gotta do to make it as fun as I can for myself. :twisted:
I don't know for which gun. Hoping something other than a shotty.
Also, farming for Legendary gear upgrades sucks hard.
New patch seems to be okay, but shotties are still one-hit-kill. They need to fix the stuff that Moris pointed out, and not just tweak weapons. They've had plenty of feedback to do so by now.

sorry to break it to you...you shoulda googled the bounties. It replenishes its ammo over time, so that's kewl.
man... i've been playing but that last bit of news really pissed me off
leveling exotics takes a while as is - but leveling them AGAIN? cmon. i liked everything about the patch except that.

First post, new here, great OT. Now if this forum had a dark theme I would be happy. Also that bish user, hope its not someone trying to come here and use GAF mods name here.

Welcome! There were a few Bish names on GAF no big deal as long as he doesn't add TL to it. lol
Like LS said Drak theme is on the to do list!
Think ng about buying the expansion tonight. Have a final for Stats in an hour and probably calling out sick to work again tomorrow.
By MorisThink ng about buying the expansion tonight. Have a final for Stats in an hour and probably calling out sick to work again tomorrow.is it worth the price? ....no
but it is a lot of fun and this is still the only shooter i can fuck with this gen. the new missions are actually really, really fun too. first time i've seen BIG differences between normal and heroic missions too.
also... i've got one new exotic since the update and yeah. may as well tell people you HAVE to upgrade your shit. the next iron banner is gonna be brutal
Finished the expansion content minus the Raid in like 2 hours...pretty weak shit Bungie.
Now it's back to the regularly scheduled grind.

1.1.1 patch coming soon at least... patch notes will be posted when it finally fucking drops
goddamnit bungie why can't i stop playing

Just started playing it again just for the hell of it, not as bad as I remember it.
Still not buying the DLC unless it goes on sale.

The DLC though... You'll never see me defending it. I don't even think House of Wolves will be worth anything other than an eye-roll either. Comet DLC is what you and everyone should keep an eye out for unless some massive revelation comes to pass before then.
They are getting SLIGHTLY better about keeping the community in the loop though. So that's something.... Strikes (up to weekly heroic) will have matchmaking as well. The voicechat feature is done in such a way that its convenient to all. ARs finally getting nerfed to shit. Shotguns will finally be viable in PvE (200% damage vs enemies!!11). Rep will be viewable from the inventory screen. Ammo drops will finally be fixed....
They're making progress. In the end, Destiny 1 might even turn out to be half as good as Destiny 2.
I really wanted to buy this game around launch, but I held back to see what the public was feeling about it.
After, what... 3-4 months later or whatever? Not touching this game until at least 5 or so years down the line, used at that. Not enough content to warrant a $60 purchase. Any game with as much content as this needs to have great gameplay to hold it up. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot there in that respect. Bungie is good at FPS, and everyone seems to love PVP. But at this point, a good FPS with good PVP can't make seemingly endless grinding, shitty loot systems, and a literally criminal lack of content for the sake of DLC & paid expansions, worth the purchase.
I mean... you can just tell Bungie had a great idea in place, and developed the game to be more than what it is... and then Activision stormed into the office playing "No Chance in Hell" in the background.

By MorisNew Patch came out today
Completed matches will now award gear with the proper power level
We believe you.
The gameplay is definitely there, but it's the grinding and all the other BS Destiny has that pisses me off.
Got all this Legendary gear I can't even upgrade because I have no Ascendant Shards. Stuck on Level 28 currently.
