I hit a wall at 24. I found no new rare armor that would supersede what I already had.
I finally gave up and bought some of my faction armor.

if that isn't the wall its pretty close. i've only spent the money to upgrade a few things since i'm adamant on holding out for legendary and up items to invest in
I think it would have been awesome if class items gave extra attributes. So far it seems like an extra slot for the hell of it. I got a rare warlock bond but I don't see the point of equipping it. Would love it there were traits like adding discipline or reducing reload time on certain weapons

some do. the exotics did at least.

Anyone else worried about getting spoiled on the raid gear and the raid itself because of hanging out in this thread? I love talking about Destiny, but with the raid opening up I feel like there will be spoilers galore.
Yeah I don't want to get spoiled for that at all. Good point, spoiler tags for raid stuf please
Shit, I haven't checked in like 20 visits to the tower.

Since when is gear considered a spoiler?

no?

half the point of doing the raid is to get the gear that you know you want

I bought a few pieces of vanguard gear in the beginning but since then I haven't bought anything with Glimmer. I just get my new stuff from drops... is there anything really worth spending Glimmer on? What do people buy generally?
 
I told you already. You seem to have an agenda.

We get it, you think every game mode should be available at all times. They aren't. Move on.
I thought this was a discussion thread, not an "everybody blindly dislikes the things I like" thread.

This is all I have to do while I farm Nexus, because this is the PvE endgame we were given at launch.

Also, if you take a look at Bungie games in the past, they've done this exact thing with Halo. They place a limit on the number of playlists available at a time with an excuse that it's to ensure a stable population in the playlists available, even though a playlist doesn't exactly have to be thriving in order to find like 9 other players to play with.

You've brought up the same point like 3 times on the same page.

There's also a a couple threads dedicated to taking a shit on the game.

Faction marks. I would not spend glimmer on anything else.

we lost it and won it back in the last 20 seconds :D
 
I feel like you need a set of legendaries to get level 26, tho. The rare/blue items seem to cap out at +15 Light. I got a +21 exotic helmet, +20 legendary pair of gauntlets, and +15 set of rare chest armor and boots.

okay I don't care about the gear, but encounters, tricks, bosses

yeah ish, something like that. the vendor gear is all +20.

I just finished this
sword shashing fight on the moon.
Pretty cool. Will there be more missions with this mechanic?

no, I wish it gave you three, and made it a journey instead of an arena mission, I would have loved to carry that thing through a cave, destroying everything in my path.
 
Been sitting on the moon waiting for public events, have only gotten one lol. One time I literally got like 2-3 decently close which is all I need god damn. Just 2 more. Come on yo.
 
some explain the FACTIONS to me please. if i wear a hunter cloak for Future War Cult or whatever, I get to use faction bounties? Can I switch between factions?

Factions are just another set of vendors selling specific items you only get from them. When you're doing any activity like Bounties or Strikes that would increase your "Vanguard Reputation" or "Crucible Reputation" you level up your Faction instead, if you have that respective Faction's class item equipped. Leveling your Faction to higher ranks is required to buy their items.
Yes, you can switch between them whenever you want to by wearing their class item.

You do and that's why it's bullshit that legendary engrams which are already hard enough to get can turn into blues. That basically made my progress in this game completely stop.

I'm not shitting on the game, seriously?

Why don't you spend your time attacking those who are tearing apart the story instead? You're not even saying I'm wrong, but implying my opinions aren't up for discussion.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you do as well. I have a full Argus set which is apparently the best in Rares (if that video detailing the exclusive content was correct), and it only takes me to 24.

The games loading times allow you to take a piss AND make a sandwich!

GOTY 2014

LOL

Yeah. I make sure my tablet is with me when I play so I can look at gaf and fiddle with the Destiny app.

Side note: The app saves you some time by letting you check vendors without running to them!

OT3 already? Sheesh. I just finished the level 26 weekly with another player and with ARC damage multiplier on, it goes so easy. Finished in about 15ish minutes. I'm gearing up slowly but surely, got a Legendary primary pulse rifle and shotty and just picked up a body piece from New Monarchy once I reached level 2. Oh, and picked up the exotic arms from that vendor yesterday. Think I'll go get my laptop tomorrow so I can post up some pics and be more active in the thread so I can help some folks out to get dat gear lol.

Yeah, I mostly want it to rank up the cryptarch.

you definetly want to do that by handing stuff in rather than buying. you get more rep and its far easier than farming glimmer, since when your getting engram drops you are also likely getting boatloads of glimmer.

Yeah getting the trophy for public events is going to be tough. I've only got one gold tier event completed so far :(
 
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.

Some bounties reset if you die, and in heroic daily missions you can't respawn unless a teammate revives you. That's about all I've seen so far for death penalties.

I'm finally level 25! I hit Crucible rank 2 and bought some legendary leg pieces. It makes me sad that after hours of play I had to resort to purchasing my second piece of legendary gear :L

Anyone else having iasues with XBL btw? I can't load anything like messages/party.

its not worth it either lol. its a complete ripoff to pour glimmer into it like that.

pay approx 500 glimmer for 10 experience (green) at the cryptarch?

i'm at level 5 and it takes 3k exp to level it up from here. no bungie. no.

Grinding away vanguard rep now to get boots and then on Tuesday I'll get my helm from New Monarchy and I'll be decked out in all purps.

Can you or someone explain what Raid is? Is it a new mode, new area of the game? What is it exactly. I have not had a lot of time to play the game, so I am out of the loop a bit.

That's weird, I got 10 gold tier events done on the second day of release. Earth and Venus on patrol have been the most common places to receive public events.
