I'm pretty sure there were a lot more Titans during the first week. The kill 25 Titans bounty takes forever. Meanwhile Hunter and Warlock is one game.
This.

I got the three bounties at the same time... after some matches I had Warlock done, Hunter 15 and Titan fucking 1.

lol

Here's a list of all the things I've gotten from the raid within clearing it twice.:

Solar Scout Rifle
2 Raid Sniper Rifles
Raid Boots
Raid Chestpiece
A Legendary Ship
Chatterwhite Shader
A ton of shards and energies.
Forgot to add - I got the Raid Class Item. It's kinda cool and I'm a Warlock.

Reading lists like this just makes me wish I had raid group to run with :(

Also it's so much fun when physics bug out causing enemy melee hit to send you flying at insane speeds to X direction. Was just doing bounty for not dying in strike and melee from enemy threw me to wall at 200 km/h, insta gib.

It seems to melt people. Sucks I didn't get lucky and receive it yet.

It does. Bottom half of the clip does extra damage and when aiming down the sights it does even MORE damage + life steal chance to proc. Not to say the gun makes the player, Razor is clearly outplaying these people. I'm trying to become as proficient at rumble but I haven't had time this week to grind it with the queens bounties bleh

Bear the Load

Destiny has a lot of loading screens. A LOT of loading screens. Loading in the morning, loading in the evening, loading at supper time. This sucks.

The silver lining is that, during just about every kind of load screen in the game, you can access your options menu which includes your gear screen and inventory. Rather than hanging out in orbit: as soon as you or your fireteam finish a mission, get into the habit of immediately selecting your next destination and launching, then fiddle with your gear, play with shaders, perform upgrades to weapons/abilities, dismantle unneeded pickups,
This is a good tip, but I dismantled something right before a load transition once, and the game never told me what I got for dismantling. It's possible I lost whatever I would've gotten for dismantling.
 
So tomorrow I have my first introduction to the Agent of Nine. Is it worth spending the Strange Coins on a piece of Exotic Armor if I'm near fully upgraded on my existing legendary?

I already have an exotic hand cannon that I love so I don't think I will ever be dropping that.

The problem with destiny is that its too stressful compared to regular MMOs. The overwhelming visual, auditory stimulation, more demanding direct control, and no social elements to blow off steam make playing Destiny a more grueling experience than a WoW raid.

WoW raids/dungeons can be a lot more relaxed with a lot more downtime than destiny.
O_O what

dude. overwhelming visual and auditory stimulation? like the game looks and sounds really good and that's stressful to you? More relaxed with more downtime...? Are you playing with the wrong people or what, just take it at the pace you feel like! I've been able to blow off plenty of steam and even made some new friends through this game. It's been a fucking blast so far.

more demanding direct control, like... the gameplay is more skill-based? I mean it's a shooter...

and a more grueling experience than a WoW raid... doesn't that require 40 people? Forty... people? you are refilling my brain's strategic reserves of fuck with this post right here.

Yeah that's a bug and has happened to me too; you don't lose it. It's just not displayed (I checked my glimmer total).

Exotic armor and raid legendaries are superior to normal legendaries, so yeah if there's a piece that fits your style, it's a good idea to grab it.

Of course, but it is crazy how strong the weapon is lol. I'm quite jealous. Also, it explains how sometimes I die quicker when landing headshots and other guy is shooting too.

If he is selling exotic armor it's worth it imo. They have nice affixes and higher stat ratings than normal legendaries.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Got my first legendary engram from Crucible....#RNGesusWHYYYY

I got 2 legendary primary weapon engrams yesterday.

Guess how many legendary primary weapons I now have? I'll give you a hint: It is less than one.

What's the trick to do the boss solo? I need my damn coins. Was able to do it all easily until the boss. My solar fusion rifle is amazing in this strike though

Just don't jump off the cliff at the end, shoot the Minotaur's at the bottom until the boss spawns and then take him out from the cliff. A Minotaur spawns behind you regularly though so you need to just keep an eye on the mini map for when he does. I just used the easy method to clear the bounty quickly really since I'd already done the strike properly a few times in a group.

I'll give you a hint too, someone's controller almost shattered into many many pieces across the cryptarch's face...

Well, it's down to these two:

New review in! 10/10 from Cryptarch Times. 'A masterpiece,' says Rahool

or

Cave Story

I don't know what the latter is referencing, so its meaning is lost on me.


I got you.

Cave Story is punchy. The other one is a bit of a mouthful.

First one is meh. 2nd one is hilarious. The latter refers to all the people who farm in front of a cave in Earth for hours.

That line might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard in a video game.

Might want to consider yourself lucky >_<

I just feel like any title referencing the cave is pretty boring and not just a little misleading. the idea that that static farming in one spot for engrams must or should be a notable part of your experience with this game is a fucking riot from my perspective.
I got you.

I remember reading that a future event (Trials of Osiris) will cost a mote of light to get in so I'd just hold on to them...
 
Sure it is their game and their choices, but that doesn't mean that the choices they made were good and are above criticism. And main progression? Up until lv 24 you don't have to buy shit cause you can rely on drops. The game doesnt tell you that best way to lv up is to buy stuff so it is hard to tell it was design that way.

Of course not, everything is open to criticism and I apooogize if it seemed that I was implying the opposite, but the system they have in place right now is fairly user friendly in my opinion. I mean for instance if all gear had to be found in drops and none could be purchased the likelihood of finding the gear with whatever bonuses you're looking for would be really low. The way things are now there's a number of methods to be working towards something you definitely want while also being rewarded along the way.

Even if we had better drop rates or guaranteed drops for strikes, which the weekly stuff already has, finding what you're looking for would be even harder than it is now. Essentially the main advantage to the system in place is always having something to do or look forward to with some certainty.
