I'm really hoping when they make the next big part of the game that they aren't afraid to make some changes and add some new mechanics and weapons.
Also I'm guessing we're gonna get at least one new subclass for each class since there's two slots and one of them is empty?
If you come across areas where two different enemy sides are fighting, you can stay there and engage them. Eventually once you have incited both sides enough, you'll see the message "The enemy forces are moving against each other" in the lower left above your ammo, which means both sides will begin to send rapidly scaling powerful forces into that area.
Does taking the time to follow it mean to actually stop playing the game and seeking out lore online?

Pretty sure will have to be blue (rare) gear at a minimum.
I've seen light on gear that's as low as level 16 though.

Not all blue have Light though, sad to say.
Amen to that. One of my earliest disappointments. Still played it for like 80 hours tho.

Had my first problem with server connection today. Contacting Destiny Servers was at the bottom of screen for the greater part of the day. Once being ejected into orbit happened enough I just decided to step away from the game and watch 30 Rock.
Haven't had this problem this bad and I've been playing daily since launch. Anyone else have connectivity issues on XB1 today?

don't worry you'll get one soon! And when you do it'll unencrypt into a Rare that's lower than whatwver you have equipped.

Well I know, I guess I should've been more clear. It has to at least be blue to contain light at all. I mean I didn't even find anything with light until I hit 20.
I'm basically just gonna be trying to get strange coins and working on the Future War reputation so I can get decked out in that. +18 light on each piece.
Public events seem to be on a timer. I'd suggest you stay in one area of a planet - for example the starting area on Mars - until the public event appears for that section. Once it pops, move to one of the next bigger areas connected to that, and stay there until that event spawns. Note the time separation; if it's more than 15 minutes, there should be another zone that will have an event spawn between those two. You can essentially rotate between sections of a planet and do an event at least every 15 minutes.

I imagine they took the reviews and mixed reactions to heart and will turn the next game into something awesome.
I can't help but feel this game was forced out a year too early. It would be really interesting to hear a tell-all post-mortem . There's no way a team as talented as Bungie shipped this out confident that it was the product they originally wanted to make.

Yup you got to read it elsewhere and its still not a story, its simply game world lore.

How long did you farm for?

Yeah. I don't befriend randoms really, so my list isn't very big. So for players like me, it can be a problem if my friends aren't on. Might have to add some GAF friends sometime.

I read somewhere that you can only get one per day from public events? I hope it was wrong because that would help me get ready for the raid on Tuesday.
So far about 20 minutes if I take off the time to get to the spot.

I'm just going to start buying Legendary Armor, because I can't get any of that shit to drop.

Yeah that is pretty dumb. They could of put books to read or something.
Heck I had a thought that they could of done something where you could add the cards like an inventory item and then load them into your ghost who would then project it on screen to read like a hologram in game. * shrug * maybe Bungie just got lazy.

They need to take Bastion out of the Clash playlist. It's so bad for TDM.

the maps that heavily facilitate CQB (which compounds the unbalances of the game) are the ones that aren't any good.
Near as I can tell; I don't know how much influence stuff like an event spawning but not being completed versus being completed very quickly impacts the timers. For the most part just be concerned with moving out of a zone just after the public event is completed, since one of the connected zones will certainly have one sooner than the one you just completed.
You only get one bonus reward in the mail per day. You can still get crafting materials as rewards immediately from the events themselves.

I'm level 22 and have gotten 4 legendary engrams up to this point. All ended up being rares or motes of light.

I don't know. Wouldn't you not be playing the game either way? At least this way I can do it on the bus.
My friends list is full of GAFers and everyone is always happy to at least run a mission or two before going off to do their own thing.
You should do it.

This is what I'm hoping for. If this was it and they weren't going to do anything else with it, I'd be a lot more pissed. But I decided that maybe this will be a game that evolves based on feedback and will become something crazy.
And not trying to be mean, but I kinda hope that they drop last gen when they do the sequel. I feel like they could be doing more than they could. The loading times are ridiculous. Having an option to jump directly to where you want to go instead of heading to orbit each time is kind of annoying and a huge time waster.
OMG! How?!

Yeah still keep the app and all that, I like looking at them there. But just add a way to view them in the game as well.

big maps and TDM have never gone together well unless there are an abundance of vehicles and a clear point on the map to contest.
Why's that.

Yeah I should. I have plenty of room on my lists. Especially now that they've extended them to like 1000 or something I'll never fill. lol.

Anyone looking for another for Nexus? I'm willing to give it another go. Damnit I want a legendary so bad.

Agreed, the whole legendary being rares the majority of the time makes it so much worse as well.
Legendary will start dropping for you guys otherwise you will get some either with vanguard or crucible or one of the factions. I already have fwc at rank 2. 500 rep away from vanguard rank 2.
My first two legendary were 2 fusion rifle. Found a hand canon from a blue engrams.
