I did buy the piece from Xur for my Exotic weapon bounty.

Now to kill 500 peeps with a machine gun. Does it have to be in pvp or can it be on some mobs?

Mine says I have to kill 10,000 guardians in Crucible... For a pulse rifle.

I don't think I'm ever going to get this
 
If anyone is interested in doing a bunch of low level strikes on Xbox One hit me up. I need a bunch for exotic bounties to.

It's not 10,000 kills, but 10,000 points. Most of these things have a point system to them. I think every kill is 50 points and assist is 20 or something for that bounty.

So there's no matchmaking for the weekly heroic strike right? Impossible to do solo at level 24? Strange to me that the regular strike playlist has matchmaking and this doesn't, if true. But it didn't appear to connect me to a fireteam

Well didn't do too bad in MP last night. Blade dancer is a beast and I think I won't be going back to my default Hunter class. Didn't get any legendary but I did get 3 higher level blues. Level 23 light and just a sliver from 24. I want to do that raid so bad. ...

Just got a new ship. It's actually an upgraded version of a similar ship.

Holy shit, I literally laughed out loud. Please tell me you're kidding me, or that you mean points!??!?

What? That can't be right...



This seems more likely.
I will go into crucible to find out. Will return soon.

Hope to god its points

It doesn't have matchmaking. That said, it's harder than the 24 strike playlist. Heroic could probably get away with it, though. Nightfall would be annoying since everyone dying results in being thrown to orbit.

Had 5 legendary all turned into blues, no exotic bounties still, Xur had only exotic chest for Hunter (I could've used any other piece of armor), and the game still hates me. I've been stuck on 25 for so long because of not getting better armor. Rather frustrating.

For the earth cave farming spot has anyone seen an instance where the screen says "The enemies are fighting among each other" and the next bunch of enemy spawn that come out of that cave are all knights and wizards. They also swarm from behind and the sides and it's like an onslaught.

I've had this happen twice now while farming and it's definitely not an event it just happens out of nowhere and it's pretty crazy even for level 20's with the constant onslaught.

I'm convinced legendary engrams are a myth, I have yet to see one after several days and that's doing strikes, farming and events. Kind of getting a bit frustrating, there has to be a way to improve chances of getting them.

Got my first Exotic, even before a Legendary, guess what its for another bloody class .. arrgghhh

Quick question, I am rank 1 on Vanguard and half way to rank 2, would it make sense to carry on or should I be swapping to another Faction.

As I understand it both crucible and vanguard xp go towards the ranking for the Faction whereas if I stay as default they are split ?

Have I got this right (or wrong)

Thanks

They exist, pick the up all the time just screwing around on the Moon getting Helium. I wouldn't rely on them as your sole source of gear though.
 
These Legendaries are really cool. Hope both dlc's add more. If they do that and tweak the loot system, I'll be snorting Bungie's 1's and 0's through a 20 all day.

No legendaries from my first post 20 session last night. At least got a couple useful rares. Did a little farming on the moon mission and ran strikes.

so, i was thinking about this reef thing (http://static01.bungie.net/pubassets/28630/events_09_19.jpg?cv=3983621406&av=3744551097) and the queens new missions, could it actually be substantial? bungie is known for keeping things back to surprise fans, and if this doesnt pan out, you could make a strong case that they showed virtually all of destiny before launch (aside from bosses/gear). and theres the whole "reviewers should wait to experience what destiny offers before reviewing" thing...

and there is this
]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIp7vZuYzoA#t=687
from e3 2013 showing a cinematic not in the final game of the queens brother in old russia.

maybe not a new environment, but new story bits and cutscenes? or is this from the forthcoming expansion packs? i suppose it also could have been cut, but i see this as the least likely option.

EDIT: fixed links

It's probably all DLC stuff. The Queens Wrath thing could just be special bounties associated with the Reef. Like, you get them fromt he robot or post man but are like, kill 1000 Vex and you get a bit better reward or something. I'm honestly expecting very little and that actual story content (and things going to other areas that are locked off but in game) will be DLC.

Had that happen to me. I was standing there dancing as my buddy shot the hive over my shoulder then suddenly my shield dropped and I was mobbed. I turn around and see wizards and knights and double jumped my guardian butt back a bit, lol.
 
Finally ended up getting a legendary or better in every slot and am 1 coin away from being able to buy an exotic armor piece. This is what my hunter looks like for now.




Have a bunch of other shaders to toy around with but using those colors for now. Been switching my exotic weapon around between Hawkmoon Hand Cannon and Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher. Also have the bounty to get the Invective Shotgun. Just wish I could equip all 3 at once. Guess next on the agenda is finding a group to venture into the raid with.

Have Bungie ever given a reason as to why there's no matchmaking for missions outside strikes? I've tried it there way, inviting random people in town and in front of a mission start, everyone just ran by and ignored me. Getting kinda bummed out only being able to do strikes with other people.
