So weird thing.

I farm chests a lot in the Divide. Farmed them while waiting for Devil Walkers because farming the treasure cave is a fool's game. I (think) I know where all the chests are. One I was missing until recently was on top of one of the buildings and I got it and opened it.....

I had been farming the place for like an hour or two and dominated it, but always missed this chest. It had a ship blueprint, green item, and ten spinmetal.

I've never gotten more than two spinmetal out of a chest.

/crackpot theory

Chest rewards get bigger the longer they sit?!

Sometimes a chest can randomly be what I call a "Lucky Chest" and give you a bunch of blue engrams and a dozen or so crafting materials. They occur fairly rarely. I think I've gotten maybe 4 of them in the 2 days of game time I have.
 
If you stay behind that wall, the Shrieker cannot hurt you AND he disappears in like 10 seconds.

Got a clip ready of doing it on LV26 Strike just in case someone wants to claim higher difficulties ruins it.
I actually think a Fusion Rifle would be best to bring there, since you will hardly ever get crits, so Sniper does almost the same damage as the Hand Cannon anyway.

I need to see this video... I have to do the lv 26 strike since I need coins.
 
Exotic bounty finally finished. What a clutch ending.

Thorn packs a hell of a punch and the Devourer perk could prove to be invaluable but fuck, is it slow to reload.

That is one of the reasons why I dont use it at all. The DoT skill is minisucle and not worth it at all. Its just been sitting in my vault after I got that upgrade because my blue shingen E still kicks the shit out of it
 
Could be tricky since you are 5 levels below the suggested strike level. Add me though, we can run other strikes later if you want.

Yeah, no worries. I don't want to be the weak link. I'll be playing a bunch this weekend to get my level up to 24 or so. I'll add you and we can link up when I'm a more suitable level.

At this point I've decrypted 18 legendary/exotic engrams. I've gotten 1 legendary handgun out of that. The rest were all blues/materials/stuff I can't use. I'm sick of it.

I've decrypted 25-30+ legendary engrams. I've received 0 usable legendaries.

I have two Warlock exotics, a Hunter exotic, and two legendaries for both of them though!

(I'm only somewhat upset about this however, because of marks+faction rank rewards+exotic bounties, I'm still perfectly loaded up on legendary/exotic gear... just not from drops, ever.)

Ok 5000 points for my Bad Juju down, 5000 more to go!

Warlocks give significantly more points when killed.
I probably couldn't get a few Warlock GAFfers to join a fireteam with me later and play some Rumble? That would really speed things up.

Is nightfall beatable at 25 solo? I am stuck at 25 and just want to partake in new challenges.

Dude. I don't want to try this... But I want to try this.

3 LVs higher is a lot in this game though. Will probably do about 70 damage on the boss lol

It seems like the random loot chests on Mars tend to give better items than other places. Anyone know if this is actually true?

I farmed an area once, it seemed true initially, but yesterday it went to shit. I did get some different items, though, like the codes for Cabal etc. I don't think the loot table is 100% the same as in Old Russia.

My shoulder tackles get eaten alive by shotguns. I did have an amazing Tiger Knee on a dude last night, though. He chased me around a corner. I jumped, as did he. I 180'd and TIGER KNEEEEEE.



Easily the thing that pissed me off the most in Halo 4 was how poor the Covies reacted. Was so used to earlier games.

Please show the clip so I can laugh!

I know this complaint is not new, but holy crap the shitty drops in Crucible are killing me. Slow bro gets a legendary for going 2 and 16, but I'm sitting at the of the pile with this sick ass new green gun.

I like that they're random, I just wish they weren't so random. Does that make any sense?

Like, it's great that all players have a chance for great loot. Just, increase that chance for the folks who kill stuff better.
 
Anyone up to do the Ocean of Storms, Heroic Strike right now? I'm a level 22 Titan and could really use the help grinding Strange Coins to buy some sweet gear! Let me know and I'll PM you my PSN ID.

RNGesus is telling you to switch classes!

I also bought all my stuff, but I just wish I would get lucky once.
 
I'm now in possession of two legendary and one exotic chest pieces for a hunter. I'm a warlock. Wow. Just wow.

Fuck you Rahool. Fuck you up the ass with a cactus. ARGH.
 
I'm finally at level 20! I still have relatively little idea what is going on, especially with regard to how I'll be leveling up from now on, but things are slowly coming together.



Side note: I made a random friend on Destiny who likes to join me and message me if I'm playing. I thought it was just some friendly person...until I realized that the fact that my Guardian is female and my PSN avatar is Fat Princess, he *might* think I'm a woman HAHA. Poor thing will be in for a surprise when he realizes I'm just a gay dude who always chooses female characters for whatever reason.

Well I guess I am keeping my motes of light...

Seriously whats the point of having Exotic Gear if you can only wear one piece?

It's a really good idea.

Means you have to choose if you get more prices, and can have various builds that make the most of the powerful abilities the Exotic prices grant instead of just putting them all on and always running the same stuff.

You can equip one Exotic weapon and one armour piece.
 
Does anyone know what time the timer resets for the daily public event gold completion? Is it 12am? I got gold on an event at about 12:10am last night does that mean I'm screwed for today?

It's frustrating but if they changed the odds based on how you did people would inevitably find a way to cheat the system and make PVP awful.

That sucks as a hunter, too lol. I was in that boat, except I also had three pieces for a Titan x.x But nothing like having multiple legendaries for the same slot when you need to boost your light.

I know, but I am desperate for new shit without having to buy it. This game is refusing to throw me a bone. In fact, with the amount of bounties I've done, should have had at least one exotic show up.

I always imagine a guy from bungie is watching the drops happening in a dark room just laughing mechanically

Luke is laughing at us all.

It's cool, I'm a straight dude and I always choose to create females when I get the chance. It's nice to get some variety when creating a main character.

Weird. Was using an AR and was doing pretty badly at pvp. K/d of 1-2 at best.

Switched to scout rifle and I'm going between 2-5. Incredible difference for me. I'm outrunning AR users far more consistently than I was using my Shingen.

Go figure.
