What's the point of doing story missions on harder difficulties besides more XP? Do enemies have a chance to drop better loot?

Challenge maybe?

Also some bounties require heroic settings.

Off topic, but question for you. I seen earlier you were able to get the Hawkmoon from a legendary engram. What level were you when you had it decrypted? Also, how is it in pvp?
I was 23 when I decrypted it. My decryption level was 3 at the time, I believe. PVP is alright. It's best to play some game types with friends.

I don't think so, I played through some levels on Level 8-10 Easy and they dropped the same or sometimes more loot than that on Level 14-20 Hard. I think XP is the only difference.
 
Uh... I don't think this was its name last night

Yeah, I've been doing most missions on hard. Just wondering if enemies drop better items on impossible.

How the radar works? Proximity? Movement? Sound?

Enemy players constantly send out "pings." Proximity is displayed via the outer band (far), inner segments (near), and the innermost circle (hugging distance).

Crouching reducing the frequency of the pings you send out. Faded segments indicate that the enemy may be above or below your current position.

Dust Palace is worse imo.

Yeah that one is up there too. I guess I had an easier time with Dust Palace when I did it because I had a solid fireteam. I just hate all the damn stealth vandals, shanks and high servitors they constantly throw at you while fighting the archon priest on Winters Run.

If anyone wants to do:

Daily Story Mission @ Level 28
Weekly Strike @ Level 26 and Level 28

Message me or friend me .. PSN: X-Frame

I need those Ascendant Materials for the Daily Story!
 
Crucible gives you gear at the end of the match. I find it gives you more consistantly GOOD gear than PvE. You have a much better chance of getting good gear at the end of a match than you do in 15 minutes of farming.

Gear won in crucible can be equipped like any other gear.

Factions let you earn faction currency to be used exclusively at that faction, but stop earning vanguard currency.

Thanks. But what do you mean that you stop earning vanguard currency? It seems that the crucible people only sell crucible gear.

Does not moving eliminate you from showing up on radar at all?

i suck at reading this new radar. halo i could tell where anyone was with laser precision, this though? not even close just give me a general idea of proximity. i suppose that was the intent?

I've been hitting them more often. The problem is no one shows up.

It's also rare for me to see a lot of people in the open world areas. Think I saw more in the beta, prob cuz earth was the only place people would be.

Remembered the question mark dudes in beta on earth. Went there I killed a bunch I lvl 20 hive and enemies I had never seen like an ogre and some weird purple thing

No loot drops. No loot chests. No story info. Absolutely nothing to gain at all. Wow bungie come on. Maybe they renamed explore to patrol cuz there is little incentive to really explore at all

Frequency was updated and likely will be again. Something the sustain team is watching with intent.

Good to know, thanks. They are fun and help make the explore mode less boring when grinding for rep and mats.

Nope. I wish this was the case or at least when crouching.

Really? How dumb to have no way to keep off of radar at all. I don't really camp or snipe or anything, but that really dampens any sort of strategies in trying to protect control points etc.

Dude I made mine because of the band Lostprophets a long long time ago. Was cool and all until last year.
The lead singer ended up being a fucking pedophile.
Watkins pleaded guilty to several (but not all) charges in November 2013, and in December 2013 was sentenced to 29 years imprisonment plus six years on licence.

Wish I could change it so badly but *sigh* Sony.

Is there anyway to share your items between your own separate classes?

Lern to git gud with the radar. Not hard to figure out and give you situational awareness when you need it.

Radar is key! Make sure to turn off notifications! Especially if you're in the gaf chat :p

The Vault is shared.

That is the WORST. So annoying. But I need my Notifications ;_; Why can't they show up on the other side of the screen for Destiny?

Put things in your Vault at the Tower, then pick them up with your new character.

Was there ever a statement on the community emblems other than the 'you get what you get, we don't have the data any more' comment I saw in response to a bnet thread?

Out of the four I meet the requirements for, I got the one for registration before 2013 only. It'd be great if there was some alternate way to evaluate them.
