I hate this game. They really fvcked us over in every aspect. Variety is non-existant. Challenge is non-existant. The story has been stripped to its bare bones with no urgency or outcome through the whole plot.

Why grind for the weapons/armor? So you can use it to grind some more. Even the bounties are lazy. These could be infinite in terms of challenges with different weapons and ways to kill the enemies, but they seem to stick with repeating the same few over and over again.

An xbox arcade game: Gotham imposters has more features and game modes than pvp on this.

I did pump many hours into it and will likely continue as it does have an addicting nature and the combat is satisfying, but my god, there was such huge potential ignored its almost criminal.

Imagine the chance to craft your own ship and armour. Even your own missions. The world is there but they made it extremely limited. This is why I hate it. They made it like this to exploit the dlc market and this is a very worrying sign for the new generation.

Fvck you very much bungie and activision.

I think this is why most people dislike the game, im fairly pissed off by it considering the price i paid for the game 75 euro and i got the dlc pass, and fair enough i paid zero attention to this game didnt even try get into the beta but considering it was from bungie i expected some great sci fi shooter story line and some cool stuff like we had in halo, what i did not expect was zero story, dinkle bot's uninterested voice acting, every single mission being hold square to scan, i could tell you but i wont story lines, and below f2p quality missions. The games devoid of passion. The only reasson il play it is i enjoy doing pve with people on strikes and the pvp can be fun at times. But i feel a bit ripped off consider the price.

I remain hopefull that an expansion to the game will see the story progress from where it currently is - as it is all way to vague. The Speaker is just odd.

Is there only going to be 1 raid per dlc and 1 for the base game or will they be developing more for the base game?

I think there is at least 1 per DLC yes, so 3 total, but it would make sense that there would be 4, one for each race, we've already had Vex, the House of Wolves will obviously be Fallen and I think the Dark Below will 90% be Hive.

Every aspect? Or just your perceived value for money? I'm sure if you sell or return the game you'll find yourself a mere €20 down on retail meaning you more than likely got at least €2 per hour of gaming, far cheaper than renting a movie, a trip to the cinema or buying some pints. If you don't like it, just cut your losses, it's not for everyone, surely anyone who played an MMO had warning lights going off

Ah come on now, let's not be silly

Yeah that would have been a sweet move

Then there is the clans, a 3 year old could have told them that in order to be usful they should be visible in game, last one I played with a clan system was GTA 5 and in that i didn't need to add a single person from the clan to my friends list in order to play a game with them or see who was online.

Yeah thats a real pain, tbh without the PS chat room we'd be lost (*cough cough, you're welcome cough cough*

Well, I called it last week. Preparing for a Raid last night, chatting to a mate, swapping out my loadout, hit the wrong button (muli-tasking ftw) and junked my favourite gun........There really should be a way of protecting gear from my stupidity.

Ummmm, well you have to hold don't the junk button for longer for Purples and Exotics, like a full 4-7 seconds, so I don't know what more you wanted here, it even took me ages to abandon and exotic bounty (f**ked if i'm doing that Pulse Rifle one)

That said the Raid was lots of fun. Only played through one boss but got 9 ascendant shards which is going to rank me up

Ha, all i got was 3 for finishing it, f**k you RNG! :pac:

I find it very strange that someone would say in one sentence that they hate this game. And the. Say that they will likely continue to play it. Why bother doing something you hate?

I'm finding myself having way more fun than I thought I would. I'm about 26 hours in and have only started to understand some of the systems. I now know not to bother waiting on engrams to get new gear and weapons. There is no need to rely on luck in this game. I can just buy exactly what I need. Thankfully I really enjoy the Crucible so I have lots of Crucible Marks and a just shy of Rep level 2. Once I have that unlocked I can afford two pieces of Legendary Armour.

Then I just need a few more Strange Coins and I can afford an Exotic weapon from Xur. The game just makes much more sense to me know.

Also I know that by continuing to do Strikes it ups your Strike level. This in turn will increase the chance of certain items dropping. I had no idea any of this existed.

Don't bother.... wait till this Friday and buy whatever pieces on Exotic Armour Xur has for you class. It's WAY better value for money (23 coins instead of like 33) as you don't (at least i don't) get Exotic Armour most other ways. But you'll get plenty Exotic Bounties and Weapons via other means (I've gotten 3 bounties and 1 from a purple engram, so 4 total, though i thrashed the bounty for the exotic scout rifle as it involved doing 25 strikes and I don't use scout rifles).

Once you've bought the Exotic Armour from Xur, then go by whatever 2 Purple pieces of armour you want, so if he gives you a chest piece, go buy a set of boots and gauntlets - Boom, instant level 25/26

maximoose · 30-09-2014 10:59am

Is there anything better to spend motes of light on than the exotic engram from Xur?

I have 25 motes at the minute, didn't bother buying the helmet engram at the weekend as it's a bit of a gamble - but what else can they be spent on?

They showed me three chests in the game we were playing and that's where I got them. Come to think of it might have got 12 as I think I got three when the boss went down.

Maybe he expected what a million RPG's have, which is an item lock feature. Honestly, it's not that hard to junk an item you weren't supposed to, it's happened to a few people I know when they were doing a few in a row.

I know you want to defend this game and all, but this is a valid criticism.

Era kind of seems like a conspiracy built on a house of cards, this story sounds really no better, and tbh it seems more like a lame tribal type effort and not so much akin to a grand space opera. But that's just my opinion. Going on a deleted reddit post and an early screen grab is thin evidence

Speaking of exotic armour I do like the route of getting it through your faction. Just got to level 2 dead orbit and once you hit that point it's easy enough to rack up the crucible marks (skirmish ftw). Should have my second piece of armour this evening.

EDIT: meant legendary armour

I really should have this figured out but
- how do you join another faction?
- does it mean you can no longer use your vanguard gear?
- do you lose your vanguard marks? (not a big issue)

Dead Orbit sounds way cooler than Vanguard

Get to level 20
Go visit the factions in the tower
Buy their class specific item (cloak, bond, banner) for glimmer and equip it
Your XP for Vanguard, Crucible and bounties (for both) go towards your Faction XP
So basically you get double XP (well if you play an even amount of PvE and PvP like I do), but it's a kind of trade off against how much you got for the 1st two while getting to level 20. My advice is get in a bed with a faction right at level 20 and just hammer straight to Rank 3 with them

BTW Crucible Marks and Vanguard Marks you still get even while working for a faction, in fact you still need these as faction currency, so for example, i'm level 3 with Dead Orbit, a pair of boots cost me 40 (i think) crucible marks

You can use any mix of any gear you got from any source, all that matters is where your XP goes towards, and i'm talking level 20+ here so as you know there is no "standard" killing guys XP, the main XP is from bounties, completing daily and weekly stuff and seeing out a strike or PvP match

EDIT also when you get to level 3 with a faction you get some postmaster goodies, I got some Ascent Mats, a Purple Engram and a Blue Engram or something like that, it was 2am and I was in Auto Pilot

Woah woah woah, you get Yellow Exotics from your Faction? I only get Purple Legendaries

dar83 · 30-09-2014 11:20am

So I finished the story last night... or so I thought. Did the last mission on Mars (Black Garden, right?) and just after I had killed the last of the coming to life stone statues I got a small "error connecting to destiny servers" message on the bottom of the screen... it goes away and I'm still bouncing around with the other guy on my fireteam no problem, then it comes up again, then disappears again, still all ok...

Then the mission end timer counts to zero and the loadign screen comes up. Queue me being put back to Mars Orbit on my own while the other dude in my fireteam gets the end game cut scene and gets a gun for his troubles. I got nothing!

I checked the map and the mission is marked as complete. So my question is, if you complete a mission again do you get to see the cut scene at the end of it? Do you get the same reward that you should have? Or will I just now never get the strangers rifle with this character??!

You just buy one of the cloaks/marks/whatever and equip it, whenever you do your vanguard rep will go towards the faction instead.

I'm not sure, afaik it's only the cloak/mark/fabricy things that enable the faction, not the gear.

No, you still get vanguard marks anyway, just no reputation.

gimli2112 · 30-09-2014 11:22am

You only get the strangers rifle gun once. When I unlocked it it was only a level 16 so you're not missing much - it's good but not a legendary or anything.
It's not like missing out on the auto rifle Xur was handing out this weekend. (I'm never getting over that)

You will get the cutscene if you play the mission again. Don't worry if you don't get the strangers pulse rifle as its not very good.

Yeah, to make matters worse, I was going tit-for-tat against someone on PvP and just as I thought I was gonna top the server he got a nail-in-the-coffin kill on me as we exchanged fire, I was pretty accurate but his rifle just seemed better and more effective.. Ran up to my ghost and started squatting on my corpse. As I looked closely I noticed he had that auto-rifle.... Fuuuuuuuuu!

Just in case this hasnt been posted, a bit too late IMO... but better late than never???

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...

You can possibly get it in a drop or a reward in PvP or strikes but it would be rare.
Saw a youtube video on it this morning and want so bad
I just know Xur is going to have an exotic sniper this week as I already have one (until I junk it by mistake ffs)

Still available from engrams and that, so pure luck basically. Wouldn't be surprised if Xur will have it again down the line, there's only so many exotic weapons sure he's bound to start selling the same ones again eventually.

Here is the link

Doesnt say when, it says next week and the post was uploaded 4 days ago so hopefully next week will mean this week

I have joined New Monarchy (titan) and Dead Orbit (hunter) and will join the other one (can't remember the name) when I am level 20 on my warlock, I dont see any difference tbh.

I got confused a lot, I mess things up with my titan and level up to rank 1, then changed to new monarchy and trying to level up as well, currently level 1.

I keep switching them so it is taking me ages!! I should stick to one (either new monarchy or no faction) and stop trying to upgrade both, but I want to get the rank 3 achievement for both.

Tbh they all pedal the same wears, there's no difference, but each seems to be represented by a different race, so I went with my brothers in dead orbit since I didn't want to be in an unclean faction, filthy humans

I'm level 25. Do on average 5 bounties a day and 2 or 3 strikes as well as the daily and weekly.

Gandalph · 30-09-2014 11:58am

People should just stick to vanguard if they want easy legendaries. I mean even though the class specific items for different factions allow you to build rep quicker, collecting crucible marks is a hassle and a lot longer process than vanguard marks.

Yeah I know. Just takes a lot longer to rank vanguard up than the factions. Once you're high level doing the nightfall and the heroic at highest difficulty speed things up. Once I got to rank 3 it was a relief to be able to ignore the bounties.

Same, I only ever take them on if I need to level new weapons or armour now. They really need to adjust their exp values. I mean 5k exp for taking 2-3 minutes out of your day to kill the fearsome level 3 Raksis while only awarded 2.5k exp for thralling around doing a patrol bounty that could take up to 30 minutes, depending on how much tennis missions they give you sending you back and forth between areas.

Just a general question, but can you see other clan members online in the game somehow? I'm sick of trying to group up with randomers. I don't really have a lot of time to devote to playing the game, so I just pop on when I get a free hour or two.

Also I know that by continuing to do Strikes it ups your Strike level. This in turn will increase the chance of certain items dropping. I had no idea any of this existed.

The core mechanics of the game are some of the best I have seen making it fun to play. But the scope is tiny causing the players to repeat missions, quests and bounties ad nausium. It is basically the beta x3.

Just a general question, but can you see other clan members online in the game somehow? I'm sick of trying to group up with randomers. I don't really have a lot of time to devote to playing the game, so I just pop on when I get a free hour or two.

Not in game, you need to be friends, but I have 4 PS4 chat rooms for players of various levels that seems to fulfil this purpose. Message on PSN to add you: GenericDreadHead

I just completed the weekly strike on solo and picked up a load of blue and one purple engram. Off to the Cryptach I go and bam an Exotic Chest piece from my purple.
