Don't bother. Just look at the dudes post history regarding Destiny.

I'm really enjoying the game but I also don't understand how there's so much repeated content.

Maybe they cut another 6 months of work from the game to get out ahead of expansion packs and continually release new areas?

Got my cryptarch to lvl 9, get legendary helm engram. IT'S FUCKING NOTHING. lol, this game man.

Hey me too, it gave me 2 legendary engrams for hitting 9. Gave me lvl 19 boots and a lvl 16 helm. This is just fucking stupid. This has to be some of the worst designed loot systems I have ever played. It feels like vanilla Diablo 3, you may as well not even be excited for a legendary because it's gonna be complete shit and to be completely honest it's even worse here! At least in Diablo you could have salvaged the fucking legendary to get a brimstone out of it, you get jack shit from the blue.

I don't know if it is my OCD or not but I noticed that my Hunter had a "sprint effect" (like a small contrail) before and now it is gone. I tried changing my gear, abilities and subclass but its gone. Have you experienced anything like this?

I am having a ton of fun with this game so far, but like others have said, I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on in the story. Like literally no idea.

All I know is that I pick a destination and I shoot some stuff. The shooting feels great, but even when there is a cutscene (which are few and far between) I still can't follow what the hell is going on.

Does this get better as the game goes on? Right now Im on on Mars doing level 11 story.

No, you're at the last planet, the ending just makes it worse.

I'm awaiting the first time I get a legendary that is actually a legendary but for another class.

Level 27 now. All my upgrades need ascendant material, which sucks. Maybe I should dismantle the five Titan/Warlock legendaries in my bank...

And another Legendary Engram turns into another piece of blue armour that is worse than I currently own. I just don't understand. Legendary Engrams are already so difficult to come across, why the fuck do they produce shit?

EDIT: And two more! Got two Legendary Engrams from the Postmaster for some reason and they both turned into the exact same piece of blue armour - a good 70 points fewer on the Defence stat. Madness. Might seriously stop playing until they patch it.

I have got 13 legendary engrams so far, the only legendaries I got out of them were a pair of warlock items. A chest and the bond to get faction rep (what a joke). As a titan that's pretty awesome. At first I was annoyed to only get crafting materials but now that's what I'm looking forward to most which is sad.

Yeah that's pretty dumb. Doing some stuff should be a guaranteed legendary or exotic item. I mean how many people are going to get the Cryptarch to level 9? Not many. Doing something extraordinary like that should reward you accordingly. There should be no chance not to get something special.

It is why I hate that Bungie has decided to go a pure RNG route. The only cool item you get throughout the campaign is a pulse rifle at the end of the game.

Also, the way the Light system is built you HAVE to get legendary or exotic items to be able to get strong enough to finish high level missions or strikes or get enough Light to be lv. 26 for the Raids. So for them to lock it down to such a low percentage RNG is a little weird

I had a few ideas for what I think would make the game play a bit better:
- Proximity chat needs to be added. Make it a toggle.
- PvP teams need chat. Make it a toggle
- Inviting to a fireteam needs to be simple. Maybe R3 -> D-pad up to invite, with D-pad up to accept and D-pad down to decline.
- Engrams should never ever ever drop items below their advertised rarity. Greens turning to blues and blues turning to purples is fun. Purples turning to blues is not.
- Public events need to occur more often.
- Players per world needs to be increased.
- Let me open the Directory without going to Orbit.
- Add another level of defense upgrade to level 20-24 gear, so we can boost the light on gear higher. Right now I'm stuck at 24 until I grind out rep (which is so goddamn slow. Jesus), or get lucky and find legendaries. That really sucks when the supposed crown jewel, The Vault of Glass, requires 25 to even enter, and suggests 26 for completion.
Click to expand...
All of this - well except for the public events thing - I've run into quite a few of them lately, and its all but guaranteed I'll run into one if I do two or three patrol missions. That seems often enough to me.

I'd also like to see 20+ minimum level patrol areas on each world. Give top level players multiple spaces to go to blow shit up besides relying upon strikes.

And I'm not sure whether the game allows for this, but am hoping Bungie has the means to set up combat encounters in the world without needing patches - something like Halo's Forge, but applied to the world at large - so they can actually create new events with existing assets, on the fly.

Spent like 2 hours doing the nexus run. Got fucking noting. Guess I will just play pvp for now.
Click to expand...

my friends and I did it for an hour or so, and I got a decent amount of blues (like 6 or 7) and like one legendary (which all have never given me what I want).

So right now I'm at the point where grinding for gear is fucking stupid for me. I no longer need to grind and farm engrams because I don't need anything below a legendary. If people are getting legendary helmets from PvP, I don't want to have to save up 120 vanguard marks which would require a minimum of two fucking weeks. I might go ahead and get more marks next to get my legendary gloves from vanguard. And the chest I want entirely relies on the weekend vendor selling it. Which there's such a small chance he'll bring it since there's only like 1 fucking class item each week.

Such an obtuse way to make the game last longer. It stresses me out. At least I'll play PvP and hope for the helmet I guess, while having fun fighting others. No more grinding.

Ok I'm level 20 now, and just got this 'Exotic' badboy as a reward in Crucible! I believe it's one of the exclusive weapons only found in the PS4 version. In any case, stats are amazing, nearly 260dmg (vanilla) and tonnes of unlock potential. Only issue is upgrades for it are insanely slow.

Which are rarer, Exotic items or Legendary ones?

Exotic is the highest item tier.

I'll give Bungie one thing though
Servers never went down.

One of the first things that needs to go is the default to 'friends only' for fireteams
Half the people in the world don't even realize people are not joining their games because it's not set to public

Give me the option to mute trolls in the crucible, I need to be able to say 'going for c'

Text chat via USB keyboard in tower instead of prox chat in tower, that could get very annoying, unless you have an instanced 'hall' for prox chat

The social features are absolute trash. I think trash is an understatement. They're non-existant.

How the fuck am I supposed to raid? I'm just messaging random people on my friends trying to get a slot / group. The clan page and forums are unused. Clan leader is AWOL. No organisation or plan at all.

I literally have no idea what I'm doing.

Ugh. Chasing an exotic hand cannon bounty, and I have to get 500 kills in crucible with void weapons. So if you see Madgame in Control on PSN, please don't shoot back and just let me kill you. Thanks in advance.

Should be a RULE that if you come in here and post some crazy shit you found, you should post:

Your level when you got it
Your cryptarch level when you got it
Faction/vanguard level (if applicable)
How/where you got it (chest, boss loot, etc... or which strike, PVP playlist)
Color of engram (if it was from an engram)

I would really like to know the weighting for actual legendaries when you get a legendary engram. It seems disproportionate based on the overwhelming anecdotal evidence I've seen so far. It's rare enough to get one of those bloody things to drop let alone have to go through another roll to see if you got a level 16 blue.
