TheMightyEthan Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 @metalcaveman and atomsk88: I forgot to tell you that earlier, after we finished that strike, I didn't quit or anything, the game threw an error and kicked me back out to the start screen. Don't know what it said on you guys' end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Player Left the Fireteam. Â Â Â Edit: I thought I would need a ton of Vanguard Marks for all the Vanguard stuff, turns out you can also get it (armour at least, don't know about weapons) from legendary engrams.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah, I had wanted to keep playing together. Â Â Re equipment: Â I've only bought one piece of Vanguard armor, and I'll be able to buy one more as soon as Tuesday rolls around and I can start earning marks again, but once I do I'll have a full set of legendary/exotic armor (still going to work on guns though). Â Basically my plan is to do the strike playlists and stuff that earns you marks, probably also picking up random equipment along the way, and then just buy the stuff I don't get in random drops. Â What I really need now is ascendant shards to upgrade the armor I already have, which means I need people to start doing the dailies/weeklies with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Well, if you're on, feel free to invite me. I got an Exotic Bounty where if I kill 500 Hive, I get this Exotic Handcannon. Â Right now I'm going to upload a video clip of an exploit I found in one of the raids. I don't know if anyone else discovered it as I don't keep up with Destiny boards or what have you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 You're not quite there yet with the hand cannon. Killing 500 hive is only one of the phases. Â Anyways, go to the moon mission the dark beyond, kill the hive when they come out the big door without killing the knights, let them kill you, and repeat til 500. It should take 15 minutes tops.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Â Exploit I was talking about, but just in case you don't notice, you should have a lot of ammo first or be prepared to venture outside your cocoon of protection.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 So I went to all that trouble unlocking Thorn this weekend, and then today I randomly got not one, but TWO(!) legendary hand cannons from engrams, with stats that are fairly comparable to Thorn.

SomTervo Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 New missions and the back area of The Tower opened up for the Queen's Emissary event (apparently.) Might not be on right now but I think it is as the blog post I saw about it was from a random layman blogger (not someone with exclusive access). Â New level 24 missions which will bag you Awoken Queen-specific gear. And some new bounties. Â Not bad! I still want more combat areas, but this is great. Â Edit: Kotaku's review of Destiny totally killed it and I still love Kirk Hamilton. Such a good writer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I was on this morning and did some of the Queen's bounties, but I didn't see the back area open (wasn't looking either though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 God, they still don't let you skip cutscenes? What the fuck, Bungie? It's 2014. That shit is inexcusable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 The cutscenes are key to understanding and enjoying the game, Mister Jack. And it takes a few viewings for the deeper meanings and connections to really set in, I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah, I checked it out during lunch. I have no idea how you're supposed to get your rep with her high enough to buy that stuff, since the event is limited time (I'm assuming a week).

Hot Heart Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm guessing the bounties might refresh daily? Not sure if they'd get you high enough. Â I've also earned Kill Orders or something, not sure if they're currency for stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think the kill orders are a ticket to do the special story mission, one run per order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I need to get to the late game like now. I'm not even done with the Moon and I'm already level 16. I must serve my Queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 The Queen doesn't consider the Awoken of the Tower to be her people, any more than the humans or Exos are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Events-Starting-0919/en/News/News?aid=12153 Â Â Queen's Wrath September 23 - October 6 Â There's still time. Â Got some mission orders after completing a couple of bounties, it's a level 24 mission with the epic modifier, doesn't say what to do or where it is, just says something about killing the enemies of the Queen.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's on the left side of the Director, on the top of that little list of icons. Â I'm hoping to be able to run it tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I ended up playing later in the evening and I was actually right at the Bounty bot-dude a few seconds before he updated with the Queen Bounties. I'm going to start them right now, but the main deal is that no one will be able to get any of the vendor stuff on the first day. It's like the cap on Crucible and Vanguard currency. You'll still get the chance at Queen gear in the missions you can participate in after completing a bounty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mister Jack Posted September 25, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Â The loot system is in desperate need of an overhaul. Â When you can get more (and better) equipment from farming a low level cave than you can by actually doing the strikes or raids, something is very wrong with your game. Â For starters, who is the sadistic asshole who decided that strike bosses shouldn't drop loot 100% of the time? Â As long as it takes to kill some of them, there is no excuse. Â They should ALWAYS drop something. Â Hell, they should always drop at least two or three somethings for the amount of effort it takes to beat them. Â This oversight might be forgiven if the post-mission rewards were guaranteed, but nope! Â The last strike I did was on the moon, where I spent FORTY MINUTES emptying bullets into that huge guy in the chains. Â Not only did he not drop a single god damn item for me, but I also didn't get a damn thing at the results screen. Â 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Absolutely devastating. I saw a guy on Kotaku (that DocZeuss hipster) saying that Destiny isn't broken at all, and that we're all playing it wrong. Â His argument was that you're meant to do strikes and shit mainly for Vanguard points which you then use to buy THE BEST gear, rather than killing loads of enemies in the hope they'll drop okay gear. Â Basically we're meant to buy gear, not loot it. Â Not sure I believe him. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I can see a bit of both sides, really. Â Strikes are what give you the marks for buying the really good stuff... but you'd probably do well exploiting first to get the better gear in order to participate in the higher difficulty stuff. I mean, I'm still 21 and I want to get 22 for the more challenging strike stuff but really want to be 24 for the real deal. Â I'm determined to level without loot caving. Got my first legendary engram yesterday... which became blue gloves. Edited September 25, 2014 by Hot Heart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I bought every piece of armor I'm wearing on my main (all legendary/exotic, I didn't buy anything before that level). I think Seuss is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
