If you like the rate of fire don't turn on focused fire, I can't remember if it's automatic now or not but there's no way to turn it off once it's set.
Loving the shotgun in PVP, so much fun to use in control.
Guessing Xyor is going to be a nightmare... D:

Oh man, that melee reduction sounds amazing.
Why we need that? It wouldn't be funny.
Nothing is wrong with them, I'm simply asking because two of my friends have apparently tried the method and yet no engrams at all.

didnt realize it was exclusive to ps4 users. and what do you mean by level 8 cryptarch? (still following this thread and all info is still confusing to me)
That's the one most like the Cydonia/Galahad right? Slower firing, higher damage dealing AR?

Man these daily Heroic missions on lv 24 do not fuck around. Madness. Enemy keeps trying to flank me, they seem to be much more aware of each other and much more agressive and aim better. No f'in around
Pretty sure it's a timed exclusive.

You get a legendary (not sure if its always legendary) engram after each time you level up the Crypterd.

Holy shit. I have a hand cannon that does explosive damage. Shits OP as hell.
Just read about how Primeguard didn't get any actual upgrades after completing the Vault of Glass. Man that's disappointing. Bungle should have tier'd the gear and made it so all the legendaries from Vault were higher level than what you can find out in the world. As it stands right now you have to be so geared to even compete in the Vault that the rewards aren't even really worth it.

That..... is a lot of farming. Jesus.
Yup, my scout rifle does explosive as well. Even if I hit near someone I'll still damage them if they're by a wall. And if they're by other teammates, even better

Can’t stump the diablos
They are...
A lot of people don't know this yet, but VoG legendaries give +30 light when maxed out (same as exotics) versus the +27 light of normal legendaries.
A full set of VoG gear with an exotic subbed in is needed to cap at 30.
I somehow managed to get another legendary engram. After being burned 3 fucking times with legendaries turning into shit, I think I'm just going to start stock piling them in my vault and hope that Bungie pushes a patch/fix that makes legendary engrams roll legendary items.

Got one more gold chest to grab.
Posted this earlier today, but lost in the fast moving thread.
I just thought of a hypothetical way to farm for drops in the crucible. I probably wouldn't do this since it'd be a lot of work and you're still at the mercy of the RNG, but people are saying the better drops do come from PvP.
Can 6 players form a fireteam and play skirmish or rumble against each other? You could work it out so that one player gets all the kills on one other player, next game they switch places so K/D is not affected. One spot on the map can be designated the kill spot so each player just sprints there to their kill/death as fast as possible. Matches would end super fast and there would be potential legendary or exotic drops for everyone at the end of each match.

There's something that makes them more aggressive today, says it on a little symbol before selecting destination.

Its rage inducing.
I got motes of light for a few legendary engrams from leveling up the cryptarch and at first I was pissed but now I have like 27 motes of light so at least I can grab that legendary armour from that strange fellow that is in the tower on weekends. Or should I buy that holographic Warlock bond from the speaker?... decisions decisions.
I've seen explosive round weapons in PvP. Shit is annoying as hell.
Though if I level up Thorn I might try using a handcannon since it'll add some DoT.
Regarding the motes of light for the speaker, isn't that totally pointless? They seem to never have stats, so I'm wondering why they exist. You can only have one exotic weapon/armor piece, so wouldn't that just screw you over? Or do class items not count? On the other hand, spending the motes on Xur for an engram is LOL NO with how those turn out.

I've only played 3v3 a couple of times, but it doesn't seem worth it unless you're going in with a Fireteam of friends so you can coordinate. Going in with randoms is pretty much guaranteed to get your ass handed to you unless the other team isn't grouped up, too.
Those are just for show, right?

I have a rare scout rifle that does the same. I don't think I like it, though, because the added explosive damage isn't actually additive. It actually takes some of the bullet damage and uses that as splash damage. So each bullet hit isn't actually as strong as it would be otherwise. Plus, I thought the explosive animation looked like shit.

Seriously? How are you people finding these things? I only have like 3 and have been searching all over. I've even had people in strikes point me to places where it seems they should be but there's nothing there for me.

You know ... Next time I try to decrypt a legendary I am going to turn on a bunch of resources first lol
Does anyone know if the DLC for this is region locked?
Got the NA PS4 bundle and I live in EU. Now obviously the Vanguard DLC code won't work unless I make an American PSN account, but let's say I were to buy the EU Expansion Pass. Would that work?
I know most games have their DLC locked, but I thought that was tied to the way the saves are encoded. This seems to have its saves in the cloud though, going by what Jeff Gerstmann said during their quick look of the PS3 version, that his character and everything was pulled right in after playing the PS4 version.

That is exactly what must have happened - just when I needed it most it was gone, in a matter of seconds.
Gotta say, I don't see the point of an invulnerable bubble if a boss can just handwave it away. That's like having invisibilty until someone looks your way.
With that being the case, both Titan supers seem craptastic when it comes to bosses. Can't ground-pound them as they all have a wicked counter-punch, and can't make a bubble to survive their boss attacks either.
