Just opened my 2nd rank up Vanguard package and got another commendation. Seems like it's guaranteed, so that's a relief. Also, got The Devil You Don't hand-cannon in same package, def. will keep and upgrade.

Oh and Warlock raid chest piece:
Holy shit, that Warlock Raid chest looks exceptional! I've only gotten the Gauntlets and the Warlock Bond so far.
 
high impact pulse rifles don't really do that much more damage over a rather low impact version, which makes the slower firing versions very annoying to use and do good DoT with.

Also high impact pulse rifles still need 4 bursts to a players torso to kill in PvP, sucks when a handcannon can 3 hit you sometimes and fire twice as fast.
 
Anyone up for running the Nightfall with me around 6:00 PM CDT, PS4? I am about ready to leave work and am jonesing to play when I get home.
 
Also, who the hell is Verok?! Was she a Guardian turned to the Dark Side? Was she a Hive? Was she something else entirely?


according to the Grimoire, Eris companions were:

Toland (warlock who went mad, esteemed maker of Bad Juju), Omar, Vell, Eriana-3. No idea who the last one was. maybe Verok.

Commendations are RNG. I had a vanguard package that didn't have one, so did my buddy. Needless to say I was pissed.

I wonder if rerolling our old Iron Banner weapons next week will yield a higher attack version of the gun too.

Gonna miss my Spray and Play + Flared Magwell + Crowd Control Lash though.

Were these packages you earned after the DLC or before?

Saved packages did not have commendations.

I spent way too many motes on my Jolder's Hammer. :(

Don't shard it, unless you need some weapon parts because that's all you get for it

that's classy, dang.

I've done the two new strikes in Roc now, they are the best strikes :s Feel sorry for non-PS4 crew yet again.

Is there a shadowprice equivalent legendary in this dlc? All I can find for sale are high ROF low impact types, both crucible and vanguard....

Doesn't look like it. We went through the factions and such last night and just found a bunch of bullet hoses. Meh.

If someone found something different, let me know.
 
Got this last night for PS4. Is there limited space into the GAF clan or however they manage that sort of thing? If not could I be added? PSN name is Wibblewozzer as well.

I'm only level 4 so just feeling my way about. Did a couple story missions and then hopped into some open-ended thing in Old Russia and did a few mini-missions I came across there as well as a public event.

If people have a low level character they'd like to hop on I'd be up for doing some co-op stuff. I think I know where my headset might be.

Only complaint so far is mixing in level 20+ folks into my level 4 open-ended area instead of people around my level since it just means they wipe out anything near me if they're also around. Have a bounty to kill three Blades of Corta and after dying with one down to around 10% I respawn and watch as I sprint back as some fellow takes a shot or two to finish it off and I get no credit. Fantastic.
 
Playing this game without DLC is like trying to make dinner when hungry with little food in the house, you are looking everywhere to find something reasonable to eat and fill you up.

That is how destiny plays to me right now.

Having engram withdrawal

That's no way to treat paying customers. It's disgusting

I am happy.
Yooooooooou son of a bitch.

Also, here's the Raid Gauntlets and Warlock Bond for anyone who's interested.

How do you level up armor so fast? How did you even get four armor pieces so fast?

I have six pieces of 33 light Warlock armor actually. (And one set of Hunter Gloves.) ;P


I got a lot of legendary engrams today for some reason... But also I have two warlocks. They both had Max Vanguard Marks. One of them was 100 rep away from leveling up their faction. The other one was like 1400 rep away from leveling up their faction. I got two commendations and I spent my marks on armor. And then I got a three legendary engrams that dropped another helmet. Another set of boots. And a set of hunter gloves. (I actually got five legendary engrams today and yesterday but the other two gave ascendant mats.)

Then I did bounties, nightfalls, and daily missions on two characters. Then I was all maxed out.

Honestly I don't think of it as a full meal anymore. Maybe a snack.

I'm going to get my level 29 to 31 using vendor gear, then use it and my raid/IB 30 titan to run the weeklies twice a week. (When I'm permitted)

Maybe I'll get the House of Wolves DLC. I'll be able to catch up pretty quickly with vendor gear I think.

high impact pulse rifles don't really do that much more damage over a rather low impact version, which makes the slower firing versions very annoying to use and do good DoT with.

Also high impact pulse rifles still need 4 bursts to a players torso to kill in PvP, sucks when a handcannon can 3 hit you sometimes and fire twice as fast.

Two hit lucky Hawkymoons and Thorn headshots. :)

Hand cannons for life.

got this from an engram. third eye, spray and play, fitted stock, hammer forged and flared magwell. does it look any good?

This is the gun I'm saving for to buy from the Crucible vendor. It's the only new legendary I want and it's going to join my ever growing collection of high impact pulse rifles.

It's a pulse rifle. You already know the answer. ;)

Yep. They're awesome.

Wow! This looks like it has the same ROF and Impact as Red Death, but way more range and stability! Very curious how this feels

It's an upgraded F&S.

too slow and not enough ammo :/

they need to buff pulse rifles.

No they don't. People just need to stop using them like Auto rifles and actually aim. Bungie also need to stop using the shitty low impact, high fire rate subtype for pulse rifles and make them all like Super Pox, F&S and TLW's.

high impact pulse rifles don't really do that much more damage over a rather low impact version, which makes the slower firing versions very annoying to use and do good DoT with.

Wat. High impact PR do vastly more damage than lower impact ones. The above PR will be able to two burst players in the crucible once upgraded.

Why you would even go for body shots is beyond me. High impact PR's have incredible stability and range, you can pull off precision shots with ease.

Finally tried it and reskinned enemies or not that new PSexclusive strike is fun as hell. Probably my favorite in the game. That uphill battle and so many ultras O_O Great place to glimmer farm too.

Shame it won't ever be a weekly/nightfall

I've nearly hit lvl 31 and it only took 2 hours. got lucky with the cryptarch. he gave me 2 legendary armor pieces for my warlock in 1 package bought the other 2 and then turned in a bunch of bounties..
