[Byron Bluth]

I guess my evening is going to have a lot of loading screens...

Maybe I can round up two people to do these missions tonight EST time.

I've got to get legendary weapons, I've had blue for far too long.

I am down after 6pm EST tonight.

I keep getting Mars or Venus for Queen, how did you guys get Earth?

 

[Futaba]

Yet another "oh no, the filthy casuals will get good gear" elitist whiner.

Um?, I think you're reading between the lines a little too much, i don't care if people get legendaries or not, and i'll play with anyone regardless of their level or equips, just feels counter productive to go to all the effort if they're going to make things easier in future events.

 

[Number45]

Morning folks.

What's new? I'm at work so I can't log into Destiny . How are the Queen's missions? Also, what's the nightfall weekly and heroic weekly?

Also, just checked out Bungie's weekly update:



Huh. I thought the point of heroics were to be more difficult than normal missions.

Also, I like how there's no mention of the cave of wonders.

I assume they mean that they've removed SOME of the majors from the heroic missions.

I keep getting Mars or Venus for Queen, how did you guys get Earth?

Constantly abandoning and trying again from what I can gather.

It's that and the glimmer. I have a ton of glimmer and nothing to do with it. Let me buy materials with it for example, instead of farming for hours on end, doing the same loot runs over and over. I sure hope some of these problems are addressed. The game is fun but it could be so much better...

Yeah, glimmer is pretty disappointing after level 20. I used it all the time pre-20 to upgrade my gear from the vendors, but after you hit 20 anyone who's still selling weapons for glimmer are selling low-level trash. What else can you even use glimmer for at 20:

• Low-level gear from vendors
• Ships / Sparrows / Cosmetic items
• Weapon/gear upgrades (these barely cost ANY glimmer)
• Cryptarch

Aside from cosmetic items or the occasional 90-250glimmer upgrade fee for a weapon/gear piece, I think there should be some sort of exchange system. After all, you can exchange 50 spinmetal for Crucible/Vanguard marks.

And don't even get me started on the Cryptarch...

 

[Blue Ninja]

Goddammit Dinklebot, stop giving me missions on Mars. SEND ME TO THE COSMODROME.

 

[Milennia]

Looking for some peeps who want to do a few queen missions (3 to be exact) level 26 warlock

[Acorn]

Argh can someone help me with this last part of the queens mission on mars? I can't solo this shit. God damn ambush.

 

[Afrocious]

What are you doing in the queen missions?

Also, what's the nightfall weekly this week?

 

[Jinjo]

Huh. I thought the point of heroics were to be more difficult than normal missions.

Also, I like how there's no mention of the cave of wonders.

They mean they nerfed the glimmer farming spots. It's got fuck all to do with difficulty complaints. Storymode is laughably easy.

I never seem to have enough glimmer. :'(

Some MMOs make things easier/accessible as time goes on. The producer of FFXIV: ARR has a whole presentation on how it can be a net positive for players while not distancing anyone who has completed the content when it was harder.

 

[therealminime]

Anyone down for the weekly heroic? I need to complete it for my exotic bounty. I'm level 27, I'm down with either doing it quickly at level 22 or going all in and doing it at 28.

Add me if you'd like. PSN: MiniMe637

 

[Acorn]

Fuuuuuuuuckkkkkkk argh

 

[zero margin]

pvp is so imbalanced, .50 kd one game 3.0 the next

 

[Namikaze1]

Ah shit. Got to head to class.

 

[realcZk]

I never seem to have enough glimmer. :'(

I'm in the habit of using the items that increase glimmer gains, and I do a lot of farming so I haven't been in a low glimmer situation yet. Black wax idols before a farming run are crazy. Usually I can max out my glimmer (at 25k) in just over an hour or so by grinding hive kills with black wax idols.

 

[Sullichin]

Is there any reason to complete the story (loot)?

 

[realcZk]

You get a decent pulse rifle at the end of the campaign if you don't already have a good primary weapon.

someone wann do the first queens wrath bounty with me? im lvl 25 on ps4.

I know there's sometimes a bounty that require you to do the final story mission on heroic. So there's that lol.

Ammo consumables. That's what I use them for other than weapon/gear upgrades. That's pretty much it.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I must says the emissarys ship decked out with purple banners blowing In the wind is absolutely beautiful.

 

[KennyLinder]

Do the missions change depending on the planet?

 

[Twilight Gap]

you guys make sure to pay attention to the damage modifiers during the queen missions. arc, solar, void, etc. boosts damage for your weapons... but also from them.

 

[Diablohead]

Is there any reason to complete the story (loot)?

you get a level 16 pulse rifle with reasonable stats until you find better, depends because once you hit 20 the loot cave will sort you out within an hour or two.

 

[realcZk]

Ah that's true, forgot that one. I do use those a lot for strikes.

 

[MichMasteR]

You guys are so lucky, I've literally exchanged over 300 blue ones and around 50 purple ones, greens and blues were the only result -.-

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I'm looking forward to it, I want to finally be able to raid! I've got about 60 hours into the game and sitting at level 26.

Oh wow that's totally what it is. Getting more people to raid level.

Pretty sweet, Bungie. You guys are so nice.

 

[Acorn]

psn: Doctor_Mosh

I'm near the end of the one on mars and need someone to help if you're down?

Ant26587 is my Psn.

 

[stargateheaven]

so me and my friend were doing 3vs 3..
he fell off the edge, and i revived him.. +50 points..

wait a minute? you don't lose anything for a suicide. So we could just keep jumping off and reviving.. pretty dumb.

 

[GraveRobberX]

8 times I get Mars as Queen mission in a row, I already beat the Black Garden! on Queen difficulty

Now Venus 4 times in a row, WTF!

Thanks. I already have weapons better than that. I'm level 26. I guess I'll finish it eventually

 

[j-wood]

So how does the Queens rep work? Do i need to put on a normal warlock band to get her rep?

 

[Doctor_Mosh]

I'm near the end of the one on mars and need someone to help if you're down?

Ant26587 is my Psn.

sure, i sent you an request

 

[EL CUCO]

I bought the sunbreakers from Xur and, as murphy's law would have it, saw every bleeding warlock walking around with them immediately afterwards. At least my Ulan-tan bond seems to be quite rare

This is why buying gear is no fun. Too bad most of us aren't lucky enough for epic loot drops

 

[Afrocious]

8 times I get Mars as Queen mission in a row, I already beat the Black Garden! on Queen difficulty

Now Venus 4 times in a row, WTF!

Queen difficulty? I'm guessing this has to do with the event.

 

[Namikaze1]

I had the easiest Queen mission yet my idiotic self died twice. Once because I pause the game to restock my primary weapon ammo and forgot to clear the enemy out beforehand. The second death was from fooling around with the Vex sniper. Whatever. Ended up getting the Queen's Guard Chest which I will dispose off later on since it's not as good as the one I have on.

 

[Futaba]

Some MMOs make things easier/accessible as time goes on. The producer of FFXIV: ARR has a whole presentation on how it can be a net positive for players while not distancing anyone who has completed the content when it was harder.

Understandable, and I can see how people in their low 20s would jump at the chance to get nice upgrades and quite rightly so (also encourages people to make new chars on different classes).

I guess when i think about it further it does make sense and Im being a tard for moaning.

Do hope they increase the level cap / light level cap in future expansions though, and that third subclass box sure does look enticing.

 

[Deku Tree]

Wait… The difficulty of the Queens bounties missions are random?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Week 1: FUCK LEGENDARIES ARE SO HARD TO GET GOD DAMN THE LOOT SYSTEM SUCKS IN THIS GAME

Week 2: Trash the garbage legendaries, there's so many of them

ahahahahah right??

bungie can't win for losin

 

[realcZk]

Once I turned level 20 I put on a New Monarch mark and started earning NM rep. I have about 150 vanguard marks but I don't believe I can spend these anywhere except for the Vanguard vendor (which requires vangard rep and vanguard marks). If this is true, I might have to remove my NM mark so i can start leveling up my vanguard rep for a shot at these items, so my marks don't go to waste.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Queen difficulty? I'm guessing this has to do with the event.

Yeah Queen's Wrath (Very Hard)
Just got the Shrine of Oryx as mission (Moon)

Fake Edit: Woo-Hoo! Earth

 

[jay23]

How do you complete these Queen bounties that have you assassinate someone? How do you find that person?

 

[Afrocious]

I bought the sunbreakers from Xur and, as murphy's law would have it, saw every bleeding warlock walking around with them immediately afterwards. At least my Ulan-tan bond seems to be quite rare

I bought them and I barely see any other warlock actually use Sunsinger with them equipped. It sucks they're not as rare to see, but at least I use them properly. Seing someone do a nova bomb with them on makes me laugh.

 

[AmateurHour212]

I am down after 6pm EST tonight.

I am a lvl 26 Hunter. Looking to do all the missions and just generally play the game and assist as necessary. Add me if you'd like. I'll be on around 6:30 EST this evening.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Wait… The difficulty of the Queens bounties missions are random?

Well, they're all the same soul deafening level, but they're randomized story missions so, by default, some are fundamentally easier than others.

 

[Number45]

I'm in the habit of using the items that increase glimmer gains, and I do a lot of farming so I haven't been in a low glimmer situation yet. Black wax idols before a farming run are crazy. Usually I can max out my glimmer (at 25k) in just over an hour or so by grinding hive kills with black wax idols.

Yeah, I haven't farmed at all (about 10 minutes at the cave for novelty value). I'm just okaying the game normally, upgrading my gear and spending my glimmer to level the cryptarch. I do have some of the consumables, but because I never farm it seems a waste to use them.

Do the missions change depending on the planet?

I have no idea! At work currently, looking forward to trying this out later.

you guys make sure to pay attention to the damage modifiers during the queen missions. arc, solar, void, etc. boosts damage for your weapons... but also from them.

So it boosts both incoming and outgoing? Same for the heroics I assume?

 

[nicoga3000]

Yeah, it's silly. I hate having to use Voidwalker to get that dumb "Kill 3 or more enemies with your super, 20 times" bounty. I feel like I'm cheating on my shiny fire gauntlets.
