So does the vendor that sells shaders just never restock them? I'd like to buy something non-hideous, please.

I totally agree

I pulled a random shader during a quest but it was absolutely hideous so the better ones might drop randomly.

Quick question hopefully one of you fine gents can answer for me.

When I reach level 15 and can switch to the bladedancer subclass, as I understand it, I'll have to level up everything again.

So my question is this: Does this mean it'll take me another four levels to unlock the arc blade super? Or will that happen faster?

not tied to levels, but tied to experience (the blue circle around the power). its sooo tough going back to a singlee jump, no grenade, andd no super.
 
Blade Dancer in coop is just a mess because the orb of light drop rate is still crap. You can clear mobs somewhat fast but you have to know ahead of time what is actually in that mob (you run into that explosive thrall or minotaur or cabal with shield and you're screwed) and its basically useless against all bosses and most elites.

I mean yeah, you COULD fly through a bunch of dregs and vandals and you'd feel very awesome for a while but its not really helping anyone. Hell, its probably the most useful as a revive tool in higher difficulty areas and strikes.

yea blade dancer is reallly not for clearing mobs. cover your ass when you get swarmed, or use invisibility to escape. it's also good for quickly grabbing ammo without being seen or dodging enemies to revive teammates. but i definitely wouldn't jump headlong into a high level battle with it.

Dammit Bungie, I want my 6v6 salvage. Organized with ressing and moving control points

I'd be more than ok with this, salvage is really fun.

salvage is fun, but you gotta go in with a fireteam to actually make it work.

:

Absolutely, I'll be around tn if you wanna.

life is too cruel D:

No splinter cell mask ForYoo

The jumps that hunters have are the best. True double jump

Triple jump is the greatest feeling tbh.
 
Alright Gaf I need some help with a level 26 strike on the moon. If I can get through it and kill a certain enemy before killing phogoth then I get an exotic hand cannon. If you're up for it my psn is slammin_hammon (ps4) just add me and join my game.

I've received the "Achilles" shader from PvP and "18327496-64703388" (Amazing name) shader from leveling my Cryptarch. I think I got "Cytherian Bloom" from doing the Vanguard playlist.

They can patch up Bladedancer in PvP, but please Bungie, don't ruin the awesomeness in PvE.

Dicing mobs up and throwing in a few Showstoppers resembles choreographed dance. I just need a " Ta-da!" emote.

None of my friends are interested in doing Nexus farming, I am gonna start in about 4 hours and do it for a while. If interested, add me

The art design in this is fucking beautiful. Just hopped onto Venus for the first time...each location impresses more than the previous one. The artists on this team deserve a raise, shiiiit.

Interesting.

It'll be hard, yeah, but it'll be fun because it'll feel like I'm starting all over again :)

you say that now... but you'll be thinking about trip mine grenade, triple jump, and goldengun + combustion that you could have while you are struggling to make simple jumps and cant explore where you want at all.
 
Oh nice, upgrading the defense of legendary gear increases that gear's amount of Light as well. Just went from level 24 to 25. Don't know if that goes for rares too.

I'm 24 and the only reason I have any purple items is my digital CE ghost/ship and the boots I got enough marks/rep for. All of my purple engrams have either been motes or rares. Woo.

Wow, now taht's bad luck.. at least you have a legendary.

I paid for the game, I expect to use every mode available. So because I don't make this game my priority in life, Raids aren't for me?

lol last time I'll say it, it should have matchmaking with an option to filter out people with mics.

...what if the devs have someone else in mind when they make a feature? Just because you paid for a product doesn't mean that product should cater to your needs at the expense of others -- that's an insane way of thinking.
 
People here would have despised the PSO loot drop rate.

One thing that does baffle me about Destiny is that the yellow named bad guys shoukd always drop an engrams or some other good loot. For the most part they only drop glimmer.

PSO had a much larger range of random rares to get and they limited a lot of them to set areas and difficulties, Destiny however throws most of that out the window.

PSO also did the whole engram get weapon checked by a npc better, you could use the item but it's abilities were locked behind ??? until it was checked, in Destiny you change a purple to a shit blue by dice roll.

There are several weapons and other things that I think need to be adjust differently for each mod. ARs and shotguns are good in PvE, but PvP? I still feel like they need to be adjusted.

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...

Hey, heres a thought then, DON'T MAKE THE ENGRAMS PURPLE. Instead of giving us Purples rarely and having them mostly turn into blues howabout give us pruples EVEN RARER and make them AT LEAST a purple not to piss everyone off who actually manages to get one?

Obviously there should be matchmaking for heroics and raids. It's not like there being matchmaking stops people from making their own groups for better organized play. It's not an either-or situation.

Also purple engrams should be a guaranteed purple with a lower loot chance to balance it out. That way the player will only have positive experiences opening it instead of being pissed off because it was a blue.

It's so annoying:

The Density APP on the phone you can view the tower vendors and look at what's being sold... you can see some of the item stats (not light points it seems) but you can't see how much items cost.

On the bungie.net website you can see how much items cost but you can't see the item's stats.

So you need both the website and the app and it still doesn't tell you everything. :/

Bladedancer is superior Hunter subclass!

cant say that without experiencing all gunslinger offers. i tell you what though, i think, at least on paper, you are right. i love the movement options of bladedancer as well as that awesome super. gunslinger also has a great super, but the rest of it is kinda meh. throwing knives are only ok

Yeah this is a fantastic game for people like myself who love taking my time and admiring beautiful, scifi colorful futuristic scenery. Although I have some serious issues with the game, they can mostly be fixed relatively simply (vs say having to redo the engine or environments to look great). First thing they need to do is put the lore into the game, would be so easy to unlock diaries/texts/audio logs etc in the environment.

Its quite shocking that this is a cross gen game. It really doesnt feel compromised to me like most games do that do this..

I've had 4 Guardians, all Hunter gunslinger, I think I've played enough of Gunslinger to form an opinion on it :)

this is the one thing i dont get and should be fixed. why would a colored encoded engram give you a different colored item? if its blue it ought to unlock blue, if its purple, purple. whats the reasoning behind randomizing even that?
