Destiny [PS3,X360,PS4,XO]

Yeah the extension definitely has a lot of bugs and needs some work and usability improvements. I hope it gets enough work and popularity to get those.

I had a bug where I tried to equip my 302 Gallahorn on a character so I could unequipped my 331 one, and it just showed them both equipped on the same character and I couldn't move either.

I finally ran out of ascendant energy tonight. No solution but to run VoG I guess :(
 
@Rangers
LOL so basically the no bullshit translation are

"Our Crota raid is boring and annoying, so we put a carrot "radiant material" to make people raid".

VoG - played countless times and still FUN.
 
^ The reason I took a break. Frankly, once i was level 31, the only thing to do was to do Crota for materials for upgrades.
Ascendent materials can be had from dailies, why not radiant then? One does not have a group of 6 and ample time all the time. Why limit my activities? I knew I was stuck, so I quit. I think its MAJOR flaw that I cannot get Radiant materials from Pub events and Dailies. Wht would a person who bought the DLC do then? THey killed the reason to play by introducing two currencies and then limiting one to just one activity.
 
Tipped off by a Planet Destiny video, I have discovered the absolute best looking Hunter cloak imo by a mile. The Deadzone Revolution. Makes all my other hunter cloaks look like trash. This muddy picture doesn't do it justice.

A fairly steep 25 motes I believe it is from the Speaker so so far I only have it on one character (want to keep motes for any possible future Iron Banner reforging, I think I was left with around 75).

It looks really great both in game and on the menu screen.

2/3 nightfall report, got another Coiled Hiss and another Universal Remote, sharded and sharded.

Also, hurrah! Looks like more vault space is on the docket, and before HoW, which goes against my theory we'd have to wait until then.

The room where they meet is a place where you are discussed constantly. If you’re talking about an issue on the forum, it’s a safe bet that are they’re working it out on their whiteboards. Next up, 1.1.2 is their project. While they have yet to arrive at a locked list of guaranteed features, there are some priorities that they’re excited about exploring…

  • Vault Space – We know you need more space to collect all the treasures you gain from your missions, and more gear is on the way.

  • Raid Fixes – There are times when Atheon and Crota can be uncooperative, so we’re tackling their worst bugs.

  • Audio and Visual – Not everyone wants to see or hear a game the same way, which is why we’re looking at providing more options.

  • PVP Ammunition – The Crucible team wants to change the way ammo crates dictate the flow of a battle.

Strikes – The numbers tell us that there are some missions that are successfully completed far less than others, inspiring us to look at why people quit.
 
More vault space, yes!

My hunt to get gjallarhorn continues. Two of my destiny friends that don't have gjallarhorn got it from nightfall this week, while I got coin, shards and a decent shotgun. :mad: My one friend was also playing skirmish and he sent me a pic of someone getting gjallarhorn. Seriously... WTF?!

I did get 2 exotics this week from VoG/Crota... too bad it was the SAME DAMN GUN! (hard light, which I already had)

I got a lot of practice with the sword the past week or so. Beat crota hard with my hunter 2-3 times and 3 times with my warlock. Gonna try killing him with two swords the next chance I get. Missed my hunter... that's almost all I've been using the past few days. Been using warlocks a lot since launch so it's a nice change.

Hard Light, that's not PS exclusive is it? That's another one of those rare ones I dont believe I've ever possessed. Although sometimes it's bit hard to remember what I had and sharded. 99.999% sure I havent had that.

Most exotics though if they aren't regarded as top tier, or at least good, I have little desire to own though. Just the way my brain works.

Speaking of which I had dismissed the ATS8/Arachnid helmet as being useless based on a youtube video, but I have to admit in practice I kind of like the zoom down the sights farther with GG signature perk. Not that I think it's powerful, I just like it. It feels so natural. You miss it when it's not there.

I kind of think they should have just added that perk to Symbiote, best of both worlds 4 shot+farther zoom. Hunters need to be more buffed anyway.

Skribbles Warlock v Hunter, could you elaborate on the strength and weaknesses and which you feel is better?

To this day I've yet to play another class in Destiny, after all these hours. Am kind of debating it, and if so which.

I will probably wait till after House of Wolves maybe. I want to race to 34 this time and the fastest possible way is to have 3 of the same char. I'm kind of itching to explore different classes though. Not sure whether Titan or Warlock.

And yes, vault space has been for ages my biggest problem, it makes switching between characters an undue pain because once your vault is overfilled, you have to take some out to have room to put in, put some in, take some out, etc. Then you end up storing a bunch of crap on characters. Etc etc. It just complicates so much.

It almost makes me want to stop playing until they fix it. It's that bad for me. Other people it probably doesn't bother as much because they might not be kind of OCD like me.

Skribbs STILL dont have Gallahorn? I have two, hehe, to rub it in.

I can see that though, like mentioned I still dont have like Hard Light or Red Death (though I think I had the latter once, I am not sure though) so it's clearly possible to simply never get a certain exotic.

One thing I've decided would be good lately is some kind of remote way to pick up bounties. Every day realistically you need to pick up the "good" bounties on each character (to be ,most effective anyway), and that gets annoying, logging in and out, going to the tower with all characters, every single day etc. I saw a reddit post asking to pick up bounties with the app, and now I kind of agree. Or not even the app, you should be able to pick up bounties and distribute them to any character with one visit, or something.
 
Nah, PS exclusives are Hawkmoon and Monte Carlo I believe. Monte Carlo is ok, but nothing special (similar to hard light in stats). Hawkmoon is an absolute beast though.

And yup, still no gjallarhorn. I honestly feel like I'll never get it and I put in far too many hours than I should into Destiny.
 
It isn't that great to be honest. Very helpful for blitzing some bosses (The Winter Run boss whatever he's called, the Crystal thing), but for whatever odd reason does not dent others much (Nexus, Archon Priest, Sepiks Prime). For whatever reason I rarely run it outside Crota and those bosses it's essential for. Guess it's just kind of more fun to run a legendary arc or void no tracking RL. Most game content just having the best weapons isn't really needed.

It's kind of extremely helpful for Crota DPS of course (even then you just need say, 2 in your party to have it, which should be every time). And Sunsinger/her witches/shriekers etc. It will take down her helper witches much faster than anything else. I guess I just dont feel any particular gun is that necessary for this game. I dont even use Ice Breaker that much anymore. More fun to play around with other stuff.

Part of it though is solo-ing kind of isn't a thing for me anymore though. I just use LFG for nightfall because the difficulty changes made it too painful to solo, and weekly now has matchmaking. If you are solo-ing Ice Breaker is great.
 
I feel ya. I guess that's Red Death currently for me. But I already have the "big two" of Ice Breaker and Gjallahorn so it's far less pressing.

And it is very very helpful no question.

My to do list before HoW (none that important):

-Get 3rd alt to 32 (well, he could already be there if I cared so much, but I mean get him to 32 with excess gear and not sacrifice my symbiote/dont touch me flexibility on my two mains)
-Red Death (really just for Crota health regen, and since I now have Third Man as well as Suros not that relevant)
-A raid helm or two with infusion (orb=health) perk. This would give flexibility to have a health helm and still use the preferable Dont Touch Me exotic.
-A legendary rocket launcher voids/arcs with tracking
-A good high mag all around legendary hand cannon with the right perks (but fatebringer makes this already basically covered)
-I could actually use another Atheons Epilogue I guess, if I want to maybe one day have all burn nightfall loadouts on every main without switching weapons. I dont have two void primaries, only one.
-Umm, I'm really short on ascendant energy if that's a thing, but i'll probably dial back weapon upgrading anyway, as if I really think about it it's returning less value. By the time you're upgrading like your third offbeat void sniper.
-Would maybe like to get another Deadzone revolution cloak and find some cool looking ships, for cosmetic stuff. Was reading a good reddit thread with some really nice looking ships I'd love to have.

Skribs you never gave me your warlock vs hunter breakdown...which is better in what situation etc?

Edit: No on Xur...He has Red Death???

That leaked list had Hard Light I think...I wasn't expecting RD, if it's RD the leaker was wrong!

LOL yeah I'll pickup Red Death. Seems almost like cheating but hey.

And LOL apparently Red Death trended on twitter. Nobody likes Destiny right?
 
Each class has its uses and everyone has their personal favorites. Personally I still find Warlocks (and Titans) to be better classes for PVE in general. But having played as a Warlock for a large majority of the time, the hunter is a refreshing change. I've barely touched my warlocks since I made my hunter. And I plan on deleting one of my Warlocks to make a Titan again so that I can have one of each class again (will probably wait for HoW).

The main reason I made a hunter was to run the sword. It's obviously do-able as a warlock (or titan) but the hunter is clearly the best class to run the sword... it makes things a hell of a lot easier. Plus I think the hunter is the best class for crucible, which I've been doing a lot more lately because my Destiny friends want to.

Warlock for PVE is crazy. you can resurrect, you can push enemy off map

Titan for PvP is crazy. You can easily one hit kill enemy
