Haven't done anything with GAF yet, but randoms aren't so bad, except we keep ending up as a two man team when one drops out for some reason. On the bright side, many of the strikes can be done with just two people!
 
GAF are Raids and crucible the only way to get ascendant energy? If not what's the best way? Need to upgrade my Legendary scout rifle soon.

Destroying people in pvp with this hand cannon. It's like a mini sniper.

Step aside Auto Rifles there's a new sheriff in town.

I got a lvl 18 Regulator and it´s my favorite weapon in PvE. Maybe it is a bug, but againts bosses with several target zones like spider-tank oder that golith-tank on mars strike, the expolsive rounds really shine. Now I need a legendary or exotic version of the Regulator.

Holy crap I solo'd the first Venus mission on hard and there were so many waves it's ridiculous. I mean come on, why so many freakin waves THIS AINT NO OCEAN
I also did this mission for the first time on hard last night. Towards the end I was wondering if there was a flag I need to trigger to get the waves to stop. Almost died a few time but I managed to run away and got some sweet loot for my troubles. Good times.
 
I love this game. Don't understand the hate. It gets shitted on because it's repetitive, but other traditional MMOs get a free pass from this? Why? Atleast you can choose to play it differently since it's an fps.

PVP is great too. Playing Control is my new addiction. <3

edit: Also, is the hand cannons viable in PvP? I use them in PvE, but have a Shingen-E in PvP.

love on your sleeve
I've hit the Level 24 wall. There's no more progression beyond this level without getting legendary or exotic gear. Think I'm just going to grind the fuck out of these bounties so I can buy vanguard gear.
 
As a none Titan player I'm really not looking forward to making one. The lack of agility totally ruins what makes the game fun to me. I like teleporting or triple jumping my way around the levels. What does the titan get? Can he even double jump?
titans more or less have a halo reach jet pack

Hey sorry for the couple how gave me an invite (Downplay PS4) while I was exiting out. Making din din for the family but I'll be on later :D
 
So I found something interesting: the Vanguard has Legendary gear with every mixture of stats. It's on a rotation, but you can find basically anything there eventually. Going with a faction doesn't seem to actually offer any benefit, unless you're especially fond of the lore or look of their stuff.
 
The source of my pain for the past hour or two:

VALUS TA'AURC

"The last sounds to reach their ears were the creak of tank tread and the battle-cry of Ta'aurc."

From his armored seat of power, Valus Ta'aurc has claimed more ground on Mars than any known Cabal commander. His name is feared throughout Meridian Bay, and the tread-marks left by his tank have come to signify the expansion of the Cabal's ever-widening Exclusion Zone.

I finally got a Legendary. Pretty much gave me a whole level of light too, 22 to 23. Sweet. Bonuses aren't amazing but can live with it.

Just found how you get them. You can apparently earn one per day by getting gold on a public event and the rest come from high level strikes. Not heard of them coming from the crucible yet.

For fuck sake, I have everything I want except for a good main weapon. I've gotten everything but.

You and me both. I've got exotic armor and two legendary armor pieces levelled up as far as they'll go without ascendant shards, yet I'm stuck with a level 16 strangers rifle and enough blues to kit out the whole of GAF with level 20 of their chosen element. The strangers rifle is still better than any other blue though due to its bonus abilities so I'm stuck with it. Wish it was at least the level 20 one.

Stay on the upper levels. Dude's a lot less effective from there.
 
Got one for completing the current Daily Heroic Mission on hard level 24.

Thanks man, how hard is it? Doable with 2 guys?

Thanks, that's really helpful. On the weapon I'm looking to upgrade, it says that ascendant energy is earned through raids or winning in the crucible. Played a bit of crucible but haven't got any AE from it yet.

You got a speech and you also got the unique rifle as a prize. Actually a very cool weapon. Best if you beat the game at 20 so the wep matches your level so it's pretty potent with some nice upgrades.

Lol I got neither of those things when I killed the Heart (I'm still rolling my eyes so hard at "Heart of Darkness"). I went to the speaker and he gave me one mote of light.

I did the "go to orbit" thing instead of wait for the clock to tick down. Fuck everything twice if that matters. This game is dumb.

Tempted to blow some Motes of Light on the Blessing of the Speaker emblem because that blueprint design is delicious, but I can't find any images of the extended emblem. Anyone seen it?

Anyone else having a hard time enjoying playing Titan?

Nope.
Punch everything, walk around with shield into 20 enemies, create orb for everyone, then of course, go on top of a boss with dawn shield and just punch them because you can...that doesn't sound fun?

How can you not get the rifle? The chick gives it to you in a cutscene at the end cinematic

May want to check your inventory

More and more, when it comes to the gameplay, what I find myself doing is comparing this game to Halo 1. Halo 1 had an incredible amount of repetition, just like Destiny. But what's making me come back is the excellent base gameplay.
