Regulator Hand Cannon
this might not be a legendary, but its the most practical hand cannon ive found so far

Yeah this hand cannon is pretty sweet. It was actually the first time I actually started using hand cannons.

 

[urk]

Yeah I have no idea what that is either.

Yup. Additional enemy reinforcements in an ongoing encounter.

Regulators mount up!!!

 

[Cuphead]

I hope bungie pushes out festive shaders for October.

Black n Orange all over my body.

 

[Jarate]

Same thing happened to me. Managed to get both Vanguard and Crucible to rank 1.

Doing the bounties, it's a lot more manageable. Oddly enough, I got 3 legendary engrams simply doing my bounties along the way. Of course I didn't get jack shit from them.

I prefer the token method of getting legendary gear: you get a token that probably reads some cheesy flavor text like "Legendary Guardian Helmet Frame" or "Legendary Guardian Gauntlet Frame" or w/e. You take this token to some specific vendor who sells legendary gear for all classes with all sorts of stat setups, and then you trade your token for gear you think you need to buy.

That way the randomness is doesn't effect what class legendary gear is for.

Also, I think bosses should drop a guaranteed piece of gear. Septkis Prime could always drop blue headpieces for example. In harder modes, he could drop purple headpieces.

Purples are legendary for a reason.

They're supposed to be really hard to get, and considering we've only been playing for less then a week...

 

[op_ivy]

It doesn't really make any sense to nerf the bladedancer anyway, it's really easy to get yourself torn up before even netting a kill if you don't pick the right times to use the super.

both goldengun and bladedancer are amazing supers, but they arent as "easy" as some of the other almost win buttons. higher risk = higher reward.

 

[Conscience Falls]

Welp, don't know why but I can't join up with ya.

Yeah, I keep getting the error every time I attempt to join in. I'm going to try seeing if it's my wireless in settings. If that doesn't fix it, then I may be out of luck..

 

[Forceatowulf]

This OT title is not funny. Hits too close to home. This shit happened to me just yesterday... :'(

Why, Bungie... Why

 

[DY_nasty]

Yeah I have no idea what that is either.

basically just additional enemies that are there entirely to distract you from the boss.

 

[The Librarian]

Yup. Additional enemy reinforcements in an ongoing encounter.

ohhhhhhh

I wanna play with you soon-ish, mister!

 

[Afrocious]

Dunno if someone caught this yet, but check out Venus:

Hand cannons are just the freaking best for PvE. I used a Scout Rifle most of the time for PvE in the beta, and barely used the Hand Cannon. Ever since I got the actual game, I used a bit of a scout rifle, a bit of the auto, and a bit of the pulse. I avoided and dismantled all of my hand cannons immediately... Until this once time where I figured I'd try it out... Holy crap I cannot go back. Sooo good. I've found stronger Pulse and Autos but I'd still rather use my hand cannon...

Well I haven't found a good scout rifle in a while so maybe I just forgot what they're like...

 

[randomwab]

This happened last night, but it's still annoying me. The only Legendary drop I've had so far was for a different class. I'm a level 23 hunter (was a 22 when it dropped) and got a Legendary helmet for a level 20 titan. So annoyed.

 

[op_ivy]

this might not be a legendary, but its the most practical hand cannon ive found so far

now THAT could get me to use a handcannon. look at that clip size! that impact!

 

[WITHE1982]

You should try and get the big purple ball up on there. Physics baby!!!

We did it the other night.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Alright need two people for the level 22 weeklt strike. No mic btw.

 

[Acorn]

basically just additional enemies that are there entirely to distract you from the boss.

Well sometimes they heal bosses, shield them or whatever too.

Not always just walking ammo boxes

 

[Icyflamez96]

Why, Bungie... Why

OP just can't win lol

 

[toastyToast]

Yup.

Maybe 1/10 times I pop my super and go Leeroy Jenkins and there's no one there lol. Bladedancer super start up is fairly quick though, doesn't need as much forethought.

 

[Afrocious]

Purples are legendary for a reason.

They're supposed to be really hard to get, and considering we've only been playing for less then a week...

Of course, but I don't think they should be blocked by RNG. This is why I've been doing the bounties to eventually buy my own.

I do however think the rewards for harder difficulties are paltry.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Dunno if someone caught this yet, but check out Venus:

Alright! I've got two days to hit 26. Time for some Crucible grinding.

 

[Twilight Gap]

There is 3 or 4 tiers of difficulty options though, the standard level 22 option on the weekly seems perfectly fine for matchmaking imo.

valid point. perhaps it should only matchmake around your level?

 

[DY_nasty]

the level 22 weekly is not the same as a typical level 22 strike

both goldengun and bladedancer are amazing supers, but they arent as "easy" as some of the other almost win buttons. higher risk = higher reward.

titans know better to complain too lol. they can literally run corners without fear because they can derp out a panic kill whenever things get 2spooky. they also get to temporarily lockdown any objective or point with the defender stuff.

warlocks still need buffs tho.

This game has taught me that Bungie are a bunch of fucking sadist assholes.

 

[Deku Tree]

What is the deal with the Dragons from the beta? Can you battle them? Can you still even see them flying in the distance?

 

[Cuphead]

I wonder what the soccer ball in the tower is going to do, I'm guessing a tower raid where it transforms into an overpowered guilty spark-esque enemy.

Save the vendors!

 

[AkelisRain]

Yup. Additional enemy reinforcements in an ongoing encounter.

Or trash mob. :3

 

[tranciful]

Yeah between work and school, I can only play for an hour or two a day from 9-11 PM. I'm not going to be able to plan out events.

...then maybe raids aren't for you.

 

[Edwardo]

Just hit 20 last night and did the lvl 20 moon strike before going to bed. I've been having a great time playing this. I can't wait for the raid this week.

 

[Matriox]

Adds?
Is that a wave of enemy?

Kind of, Adds are what comes in addition to what has already been started from a fight. Whether it be a patrol of enemys that run into you fighting, or a boss fight that has its own spawn of monsters after a certain amount of time.

 

[Namikaze1]

My Hawkmoon is the bomb! Sounds like a sniper rifle whenever I shoot.

 

[Acorn]

You can't have the shield and fist drop in the same load out.

One is defenders super the other is strikers super

 

[The Librarian]

This game has taught me that Bungie are a bunch of fucking sadist assholes.

Relax. No personal attacks, please.

Spoiler

Unless you were joking, in which case make it more obvious!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Yes

Has a chance to drop, oh also not your class

Thanks

 

[Conscience Falls]

Annnnnd now none of my friends are loading in the roster screen. Lovely.

 

[Cuphead]

I've been having this issue since day 1, only half the time they load.

Just assumed I added too many Dgaffers for it to handle.

Dat Hawk Boom

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Annnnnd now none of my friends are loading in the roster screen. Lovely.

Yup same here

 

[plantedunicorn]

For the Daily Control Challenge, do you actually have to win the match to get the Crucible ranks and points?

 

[Lasty95]

now THAT could get me to use a handcannon. look at that clip size! that impact!

Its actually got a perk that takes it up to 13.

I'm absolutely owning in PvP with it.

 

[WITHE1982]

I unlocked blink last night with my warlock and I have to say it seems a little useless. I switched straight back to glide.

Anyone found a use for it? It just seems to propel you forward by a couple of feet.

 

[DY_nasty]

wtf. blink is amazing. jukes everything in pve and consistently blows people's minds in pvp - meanwhile, glide is terrible as a movement option and makes you the biggest, easiest target on any map in any game mode.

You can't have the shield and fist drop in the same load out.

One is defenders super the other is strikers super

and they're both derp

titans in general have no issues with life

 

[tranciful]

Does toughness make a difference for PvP?

 

[Matriox]

Annnnnd now none of my friends are loading in the roster screen. Lovely.

My friends don't load 4 out of 5 times. Its amazing.

I just have my friends that aren't gaffers add me, lol they dont seem to have issues with it.

 

[Diablohead]

New thread, woo.

Since some bungie employees pass by here i'll bring this up again, but it would be nice if bubble shields changed colour depending if you can pass through it to get an overshield or not, if my team doesn't know they are not going to use it.

Same with sunsinger buffs for grenade cool downs to anyone near them, an on-screen buff icon showing faster cooldown time is in effect would be nice.

Little touches like that really help a team work together.

 

[Victory Red]

Can someone explain Impact vs Attack number?

How important is the impact bar?

If weapon A does 150 Attack and the impact bar is 1/4 way through.
If weapon B does 130 Attack and the impact bar is 1/2 way through.

Which is better?

 

[OverHeat]

Fuck you bungie 2 days without a legendary!

 

[Cuphead]

I unlocked blink last night with my warlock and I have to say it seems a little useless. I switched straight back to glide.

Anyone found a use for it? It just seems to propel you forward by a couple of feet.

It's useful in PvP for disorienting enemies but my buddy who tried it out almost immediately switched back to glide.

 

[Overdoziz]

Man, I really wish they'd allow you to skip cutscenes. At least after the first time through or something.

 

[Twilight Gap]

is good for running away and dodging attacks (someone blinked when i fired a rocket at them), but it's not a good replacement for double jump moves. i switched back too.
