I think there is something wrong with how loot is calculating for my game. I haven't gotten a single legendary item yet. and I've played a shit ton!
 
About to eat, then I would like to play a full 6-man game of Control with Gafers that know how to PTFO. No bitching and moaning about playing on the Moon either. I've heard enough of that tonight to last me a lifetime...

30-40 minutes tops.

I'm up for joining for at least a couple of matches. PSN: SlenderBeans
 
Speaking of crucible loot, I always end up carrying my teams hard and love seeing people with 1 kill getting items.

It's actually hilarious.

Same. I'm almost always in first place and have seen people go 2-18 and get a Gjallahorn. And I go 28-4 and get nothing. Why should I even try? Im already token capped. Bungie fucked up with this RNG reward system.
 
Holy crap at the fourth level of arc blade: "Press R2 to disappear from sight." o_O

Best class.

That's it for me today. I'll be on later tonight. Got a lot of stuff done, and I've barely started Venus!

Any tips on improving at PvP? I'm awful. Absolutely awful. I was doing okay yesterday but I barely had any good games today.

- Auto Rifle is the easiest weapon to rack up kills with. Use crouch to sneak into control points and to stay off the radar.

- Know what secondary weapon is best suitable for every map by using common sense. Small/close quarters map? Shotgun/Fusion. Mid-large open map? Sniper.

- Pay attention to the heavy ammo alerts, most players ignore free rocket ammo that almost guarantees you a multi kill.

- Don't waste your super on 1 enemy unless it was a crucial kill (controlling a point, game winning kill).

This game does have some great aspects, but then theres just too many bad aspects that really hurt the game

PROS
- Amesome gun mechanices
- Amazing fun playing missions with friends, but can get boring after awhile due to poor mission structure
- Awesome graphics & art style
- Awesome music/sound effects and immersion
- I like Patrol where you meet up with randoms along the way and help them kill enemies, but can get old because of Con #2 and Con #3

CONS
- Lackluster story. I feel I don't need to explain this one.
- Extremely repetitive mission structure - Go to 'area'. Place down ghost and defend the area.
- Not enough enemies. Like if you are on patrol, there only seems to be enemies in certain spots and the rest of the map is just empty space.
- Extreme lack of loot - Compared to Borlderlands 2, finding loot just isn't so exciting
- Generic and lack of variety in the enemies
- Generic feel/look to the weapons. Just not enough variety
- Just gets quite repetitive because of the extreme lack of mission variety and design is very poor. What made Borlderlands 2 so great is the HUGE map, mission variety, side quests, huge amount of loot, enemies.

The gunplay and co-up is really fun, don't get me wrong, but there are quite a few bad points that really hurt this game.

Could you imagine Destiny with Borderlands 2 size map, missions/side-quests, loot.

It's hard to review this game, because the gunplay with co-op with friends is so fun, but then the cons introduce themselves.

Overall - Opportunity missed IMO

Anybody want to be a third in the nightfall strike? It may take a couple of hours. Level 25 and up please. Xbox one.
From my experience, level 25 ain't enough. I've tried it twice and we got sent back to orbit within minutes.

A strike just gave me a blue titan helmet... Haven't seen that happen before. Guess I'll throw it in the bank. Might make all three classes at some point to get platinum

I've not even going to lie, in some Crucible games, I just spend the time running about doing nothing, because I know my performance won't affect whether I get loot or not. I don't afk, but I don't put much effort in either lol.

I think someone mentioned you are only allowed 1 piece of exotic armor and 1 weapon.

Yeah, I know .. first world problems that I may be able to buy another exotic armor piece but not equip them both, when what I really need is more Legendary armor pieces to replace my blue gear. But I don't have an exotic weapon yet though, so that may be something for me to look at.

Apparently the rollover for Xur is 2 weeks, but someone told me this in chat so I can't verify. You may go after the Red Death Pulse Rifle if you get 23 Coins by then.

When I checked for the rollover time yesterday with Xur, it said 6 days and however many hours, so I think the stock refreshes with new stuff every weekend, but we'll just have to wait and find out.

The Red Death would be an amazing weapon for me to go after, though I am not the biggest fan of pulse rifles.

I really want to start a Titan class but I can't get over how ugly their general design is. Its just all box like. Looks completely out of place sometimes.

I doubt anybody really knows the answer but do higher strike playlists have a chance to drop better loot? Is the only thing that change with higher strike playlists how much rep you earn?

Just got an Exotic primary shotgun. Not sure how I feel about it tho.

I want that one so bad. Still waiting for my first exotic. I've been completing about 95% of all the bounties too since the launch of the game, and no exotic weapon bounty yet. Hopefully soon!
 
Level 24 missions are hard as hell on level 22. I couldn't do it. Damn Vex Minotaurs are hard in less open spaces.

Do weapons that do Arc damage deplete shields faster?

Agreed on bladedancer as best class. I can't think of a single thing it isn't good for to be honest. Getting sniped? Crouch and disappear then return the favor. Got jumped? Same with knife instead after a sneaky teleport. Fancy taking down the whole team? Go super whilst invisible and watch as they back away shooting in all the wrong places.

Plus you're a magic space ninja! Gunslinger is but a thing of the past now.

Depends on the shield. If it's blue, yes. Red shields are weak to solar (fire) damage.
