Got my first Legendary today from the Crucible. Just imagine the fun I am going to have with this thing~

 

[Twilight Gap]

Join a faction?

i spent my marks on dead orbit gauntlets

 

[Goodacre0081]

if I miss an engram that drops on the ground does it show up in my inbox at the tower?

 

[Trouble]

Complete bounties with Gunslinger equipped.
Before turning in bounties at the Tower, equip Bladedancer (and any weapons that need xp)
Turn in bounties
???
Profit!

Goes for weapons, too. I've completely upgraded guns that I had never used.

my first legendary and my class can't use it. in a game where you can't trade this makes little sense.

are items shared between any characters I have, at least?

 

[HighOnPCP]

Do higher level Enemies drop loot more often? I actually don't think so.
IF not, imo the best place to farm would be the first moon mission where later on the big gate opens up and hive, acolytes etc. just keep POURING out. Definitely more enemies than with the nexus farming method and it's super fast just kill all the hive and some acolytes and let the knight kill you. boom gate opens up immediately no cut scene no nothing do it again, rinse repeat...plus you can do it solo!

I'm gonna go do that now, last time I got 11 blue engrams in about 40 minutes and a bunch of greens but I played on level 20 difficulty now I'll try on easy mode

 

[Shiera Seastar]

Anyone else constantly "fearing" to miss dropped loot lying around in some corner or behind pillars and such? After clearing larger combat areas I frequently spend way too much time walking around, looking everywhere several times over, mistaking every second heavy ammo for a legendary, lol.
Maybe it just stems from my disbelief in not getting any loot after killing countless enemies but I think I'd prefer picking up loot automatically right after the kill. Walking towards and picking it up manually works well in games like Diablo since the isometric view makes it easier to spot stuff and all your kills are in relative close range but in Destiny, with the ability to take out enemies from very far away, it's a bit different. Yeah sure, it's probably more satisfying picking it up manually but still, I'd like that better.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

No Strike, how would I participate in PTE's then
Rocket Yard farming, just do 1 hour of looping
Kill everything along the way, every 10 loops, dismantle trash earn glimmer + mats, save engrams repeat
Most mobs drop good stuff too
Extra Spinmetal grows outside so you double dip
Learn location be set

Ah. That's nice.

Regardless I guess I'll do this with my friends in a strike once we all need spinmetal, if so I can just return to orbit with them and redo it instead of having to get there.

Like I said though, I only need one more legendary piece of equipment that I want to buy, the helmet and the exotic chest piece (which I only care for one) will come from PvP and the exotic vendor respectively. I just tire of farming now and hoping for random loot to give me something I need. And apparently the chances of good loot are higher in PvP anyways.

 

[BlackGhost]

Jeez OT3 already?!

How much time has everyone sunk into the game?

Bnet says I'm at 11 hours.

6 hours, haven't a good amount of time to play since launch sadly.

 

[The Librarian]

At this point, I'm not sad to get Strange Coins. I got my Exotic gauntlets with Strange Coins already and am back up to 8 again, so by next rollover I'll have more for either another armour piece or a weapon.


1 day, 22hrs, 58mins...
I did take a week off work for the game, after all.

Almost 26 hours :x

1day 6 hours 2 minutes 52 seconds

1 day, 3 hours it says on Bnet.

7 hours story, 7 hours strikes, 3 hours patrol, rest on PvP.

I'm at 18h 30m. No signs of stopping either haha.

! day, 45 mins, 25 secs.

you boys are cray cray

 

[kittens]

holy heck I want that

that stability is amazing

 

[jay23]

This will sound really greedy but would it kill them to give a guaranteed drop to the top 1 or 2 players of a team in crucible? 4th time in a row where I've been top player of my team and have gotten nothing.

It's not greedy, I went four games straight at the top and got no rewards. Shit is laughable.

 

[Kadin]

How much time has everyone sunk into the game?

Bnet says I'm at 11 hours.

I'm 20 min shy of one day. You wouldn't know because I've been playing so casual and only just hit 21 about an hour ago.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Guys where do you usually farm legendary itens??

I'm level 22 and still not a single legendary...

Also you can only use Mote of Life with the Speaker??

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Literally anything with an attack rating higher than 215. I like hand cannons, but I haven't gotten a single hand cannon drop with a rating higher than 178.

Are you looking at the standard rating, or the upgraded rating? If the game over gun is leved up and shows 215, you need to compare that to the second number when looking at stock guns, ie 198/215. Hopefully to get something better soon.

 

[Vire]

I like the Warhammer ripoffs the best, especially the shield enemies.

Yeah, Vex are actually my least favorite to fight. Mainly because the Minotaurs are extremely lame and have no weak point.

Cabals are pretty great though.

 

[purg3]

2 Days 3 hours 6 min

:x

Although a lot of that was just sitting in the tower while I did other stuff...

Got my first Legendary today from the Crucible. Just imagine the fun I am going to have with this thing~

I GOT THAT TODAY TOO!!! lol

 

[wowlace]

Just thought of a sweet playlist for crucible.

Alpha - warlocks
Bravo - Titans
Charlie - hunters

Three way team death match.

I don't even own the game yet. Excuse me if it is included.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I'm @ 1 day and 16 hours and missed 2.5 days worth (due to illness)...

 

[Hawk269]

my first legendary and my class can't use it. in a game where you can't trade this makes little sense.

are items shared between any characters I have, at least?

Yes they are. You can put that item in your bank or whatever they call it. Then you can create another character and retrieve the item from the bank for that character. Glimmer (money) is shared also between your characters.

 

[FiraB]

How much time has everyone sunk into the game?

Bnet says I'm at 11 hours.

2 Days, 1 Hour, 23 Minutes...

I had a good week.

 

[Trace]

That feel when Monte Carlo drops in a pvp to the worst player on your team, after you quadruple his score four games in a row.

Why the hell does PvP not reward items based on score and then throw a random or two in after...

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

How much time has everyone sunk into the game?

Bnet says I'm at 11 hours.

Oh dear.....on my way to 48 hours already.

 

[Hawk269]

Can anyone explain what the raids are and what they really do/are? I have not had as much time as I wanted to play the game and am curious as everyone seems to be talking about it.

Thanks!

that's a horrible idea, the fighting between people would only grow more on which is the better class lol

Would never pop. Not enough titans.

 

[super-famicom]

I expected the creator of the withdrawal threads to have logged in just as many hours. Disappointed.

You got it wrong though... hunters are clearly the alpha dogs.

 

[E92 M3]

Man I put so many hours in and didn't get a single legendary item yet

 

[hydruxo]

EDIT: Nevermind, misread your question. Raids are longer than strikes, a couple hours I think.

All those Titan bubble shields? no thanks haha

 

[Alucrid]

thank you random chest for a legendary engram

 

[Oscar]

I feel like the #1 in each team should get decent loot no matter what, and the rest of the team gets RNG'd like it currently is.

Too many people don't give a fuck and just stand there for the entire match or dick around because they know they still qualify for loot.

 

[Diablohead]

I got a scout rifle which keeps the mini radar up when scoped, shame that hardly any PvP maps will make use of that weapon right now.

 

[Vire]

thank you random chest for a legendary engram

Don't worry, you'll get a rare from it.

 

[meppi]

How much time has everyone sunk into the game?

Bnet says I'm at 11 hours.

15 hours spread over my level 20 Warlock and level 9 Hunter.
If I didn't have to work 40 hours a week, this would be a lot more.
Just like what happened with Diablo 3 releasing during my second summer vacations.
Played over 20 hours in 2 days time alone.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Can anyone explain what the raids are and what they really do/are? I have not had as much time as I wanted to play the game and am curious as everyone seems to be talking about it.

The way it sounds is Nightfall Strike turned up with 6 players
I'm guessing the rewards it drops are something ridiculous or some crazy pile of shit raining upon you for like 1 minute+

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I've played 1 day, 10 hours 1 min and 44 seconds.

So I must've missed the memo, when exactly will the ladies excitedly whisper "he's level 20+ go talk to him he's cute" happen? My email is hectic so it probably got lost

 

[Jolkien]

I'll leave this here one more time since this thread moves so quickly. I wanna raid, so bad -_-

Speaking of raid here's a copy paste of the post I made on DestinyGAF Canada if anyone is interested:

I think it's fair to say most of us will look forward to step into the Vault of Glass later this week when it opens, I'm looking for 3 more guardians to join us. We're 3 french Canadians (Hunter (26),Warlock(25),Titan(26)). Since we know nothing (pretty much) about the raid we'll step inside with an intent to learn the place so expect to wipe (I don't think we'll be able to clear the 8 boss in one shot, Bungie keep hyping the difficulty.) We're 3 adults pretty relax, raided for years in other game, looking forward to try it in Destiny, if the group mesh well and we wanna make raiding a recurring event we're open for it. Our availability this week is Thursday night, and any time Friday or Saturday

Here's what we need from you if you're interested:

- Mic (I assume voice comms will be needed if it's like any other raids, in any game ever) If your shy or you hate talking at least make sure you listen if calls need to be made.
- At least level 24 since the first difficulty of the raid is aimed toward level 26.
- Willing to have a good time/not rage upon dying
- Can raid in French or English,.raided for years in English in other game and communication was never an issue.
- Can be available for the raid for at least 3 hours, can be for longer if everyone is having a great time while we learn.

Heading to work I'll sort through the demands when I have time tonight or tommorrow if there's any interest. You can get back to me in PM here on GAF or on PSN Nakhar.

Edit: Forgot to say the version, PS4.

 

[Hawk269]

I think you're getting the raids mixed up with the strikes. There's only raid so far and it's not out until Tuesday, though Bungie is going to add more eventually. Strikes are about 20-30 min long on average and have lots of mobs/elites and a final boss or two.

Thanks, but what is a Raid however?

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Finally got a legendary item from a rare engrem, it was for a Titan though. I'm a warlock.

 

[SnakeEyes]

you boys are cray cray

No, you're not Cray Cray enough! >.>

I expected the creator of the withdrawal threads to have logged in just as many hours. Disappointed.

Yeah - for someone who got a tag out of Destiny, the fact that you're lagging so far behind is really disappointing

 

[stupei]

How much time has everyone sunk into the game?

Bnet says I'm at 11 hours.

Apparently I'm at sixteen hours.

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Since crucible and strikes haven't been kind to me, does anyone want to farm the Nexus on PS4? PSN is Crovax44, shoot me an invite if you're interested!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I also got a machine gun called "Zombie Apocalypse WF47"

I got that gun too, at first I thought the name was funny, then I got sad it was a machine gun.

 

[op_ivy]

i've been having major disconnect issues with 6v6 crucible mathmaking, but 3v3 is solid with zero issues.

 

[lustrate]

Anybody down for X1 Crucible? Right now it's me and another Gaffer. If so, my GT is imikemani. Feel free to send a friend request.

 

[WITHE1982]

24h and 14 minutes. level 23 still no legendary or exotics.

Too many people don't give a fuck and just stand there for the entire match or dick around because they know they still qualify for loot.

Consider what would happen if the best pvp players got the best loot. Its for the best that its distributed randomly.
