Can someone explain Nexus farming? And yea I'm down for it! PSN is NIBZY! I'm level 20 though, not sure how much that affects things. Most of my gear is blue though.

Just an area with a cliff that spawns 15 or so enemies. Kill them, jump off the cliff. Rinse an repeat. My first go at it was a bust . Hour of doing that over and over but no old drops. About 10 Rares dropped but I can get double that from a few strikes
 
So as far as balancing goes in multiplayer...

I understand that for the most part what level your character is doesn't really matter. But also, weapon levels don't matter either, right? So if I use a hand cannon for multiplayer should I equip a lower level one that has a higher magazine since it'll do the same damage as higher level ones or is there a set magazine for hand cannons in multiplayer regardless of what you equip?

not all hand cannons are created equal

some, usually the smaller clipped ones, can kill in two headshots. not all are like that though
Personally, I find it more valuable to do try and get your vanguard/crucible ranks up and collect marks instead of farming.

yep... be able to go to the store for whatever you want vs praying to the rng god like this is PSO

Is there no penalty for deaths in the game? I am more thinking when playing PVE. If they could add damage to your gear for dying and then have a repair person you need to go to would be neat.

So I just got a legendary package for leveling up the cryptarch that gave me two rare engrams which turned out to be two uncommon gauntlets.

Last night I jumped in the air and Arc Bladed Sepiks Prime and died and then it died and I didn't get credit for the bounty.

I don't get what the benefit of being in a clan is. I can't see a list of people online anywhere or anything. All I see is a tag.
 
The thing that bothers me is not the random drops. But if you're a level 26 and fighting level 26 enemies they shouldn't be dropping crappy greens.

There's gotta be more incentive to fight high level enemies. Given what's being asked of us for these raids I'm hoping the rewards are serious.

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

Yep. I've had around 8 legendary engrams now. Only one contained legendary gear, and it was for another class. All the rest rest have been shitty rare stuff worse than what I already had.

I already dislike the need to have engrams inspected, no need to have me travel back to the tower every time I die as well.
 
Been playing for a while, need to return to the real world for a bit lol gotta get other shit done. Leaving my guy idle on the moon until I get a message for a public event. Need 11 more marks so I can get one of the pieces of vanguard armor and the warlock bond. So for now I'll get other shit done.
 
Late responding to a message in the last thread about the fast overcharge challenge. Someone posted this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EO8b_XNxuU

However, a much faster & better way is to simply do the strike on the moon. just follow the waypoint skipping past all the enemies since they cant really kill u if u high enough level. When you get to the room where the ghost has to open the door for the first time in this mission, TONS of thrall flood in. It is very easy to get at least 6 here, then just go to orbit & re start the strike. Takes about 1 minute to get from the start of the mission to the room with the thrall if your fast enough. Finished my challenge in 5 minutes.

My friend that likes to over analyze everything about games like this taught me shortcuts to pretty much every bounty as well as easy drop methods (ノ゚ο゚)ノ

yeah, pick one with a higher magazine. also, pay attention to the stat bars as opposed to the damage number to get an idea of how the weapon is.
 
I wonder if they will add Diablo style set pieces of armour. They certainly have to keep people playing and it will be the loot that does that.

Raids will give you set pieces of loot, or at least that's what they are supposed to.

The Cabal are fun enemies to fight. Love the battles on Mars. The Moon and Mars are my favorite areas I think

Cabal are the best. The first mission on mars, when you get to see and fight the Cabal the very first time, gave me chills because the music and their appearance felt very intimidating.

Who would have thought they would be the most enjoyable enemies to kill. It's like popping heads off teddy bears.....cute fuzzy bears :p

I say yes, when you're comparing relatively low level ones in the first place. more shots at hitting the head is better.
 
It will be outrageous. Attack is not compared to Defense in the Crucible at all.

Rare guns with mods alone is enough of an advantage in pvp to the point where someone with an extended range shotgun or good steady AR will dominate, that shit should be limited to iron banner which is still a month away, a month.

Why wasn't Iron Banner made available at launch?
