Xur is pretty good this week actually, I thought.

I really need to upgrade Light Beyond Nemesis, and I'm keen to pick up either the Symbiote or Obsidian Mind (both if I can get sufficient coins, they're pretty great helms) - and my mate needs to get Lucky Raspberry upgraded, so it's win-win all around for me. XD

I've already got Icebreaker, but if I didn't, I'd be picking it up too. Unlimited ammo really is a great perk, especially with the rate of return. It's basically my fallback sniper for difficult Strikes/if juggler is on, and I'd use it more if swapping load out was a bit easier with exotics (it would be nice to be able to have a few quick-swap slots in the inventory for this kind of thing, imo)...

I'm actually really enjoying using Obsidian Mind and would definitely recommend it.

I only ever used Voidwalker for PvP before and ran Sunsinger for everything else, but Voidwalker is pretty awesome with my current set up.

Future War Cult gear for +Discipline and +Intellect, Axion Bolt, Soul Rip, Embrace the Void, and my scout rifle Badger CCL has got grenadier on it so I'm throwing grenades constantly too, which charge nova bomb, which charges itself now. Awesome

Just need to get Bad Juju but I've yet to be offered an exotic bounty...

[Wolfdrop]

It's also pretty easy to upgrade, no ascendant materials needed. Final upgrade requires an exotic shard which some might see as a waste of 7 coins I guess.

I'm really gunning for Eris Rank 4 to get that orange and black shader, but predawne is looking pretty decent at the moment!

[Wolfdrop]

I've only got to Future War Cult rank 2 on my one character. I've probably lost hours worth of progress towards my factions and bounties in my quest for Eris Morn's sweet aesthetics haha

[Silencer]

Yeah, Obsidian Mind is awesome for Voidwalker in PvE.

Light Beyond Nemesis is just unbelievably useful in a group though (and class neutral!). XD

[Silencer]

Most of the perks help with that.

Just got Husk of the Pit to drop of a Blade of Crota, look forward to upgrading this bad boy, Nechrochasm looks like it will be pretty awesome with precision kills having a chance to trigger cursed thrall explosions . On another note is there any sort of Malazan Empire clan or group or something for Destiny?

[Silencer]

Not really, I think most of the thread regulars have stopped playing or are on different consoles...even when Obdi and Stalker were playing there weren't that many of us on the board on one console.

[Wolfdrop]

I had one game where nothing was going my way. I would spawn then get killed after 5 seconds. I think I ended up with a k/d spread of 0.06. In the next game I was on fire and got 3.2ish. I took screenshots of both I was that horrified/pleased. I'm playing a lot more rumble at the moment and winning about 80% of my matches. I always get shut down by some titan with a flying knee though!

So I got this for xmas.

Im enjoying it. I wish it was a bit more Borderlands and a bit less Halo but on the whole im enjoying it.

However I have no clue what im doing. I upgrade my guns, do all the bounties available, go back out and do the story missions, complete it rinse and repeat. Im sure theres more to it with the clans and weapons and such but I really am not sure.

Im a hunter and love the hand cannons on the main game by the way. I always love the single shot weapons and now it feels like a viable choice throughout the game. I played crucible stuff slightly but didnt really get into that much. Im still on Venus doing the story missions there.

Anyway Im sure by now everyone onsite has this game mastered by now so any help for a noob would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, that's pretty much the entire game. The only stuff you will gain are Raids, but even those aren't much different. XD

I would advise not bothering to upgrade guns too much at this point. Almost everything you have is going you be outdated by level 20 (which will happen very soon), and even then, blue stuff will only go so far.

[Wolfdrop]

I played Iron Banner last time around just enough to get the Million Million shader, since I was only about lvl 24 then.


I'd be more interested in it if your rank/rep carried over each time. As it stands it's too much of a time sink for me to get the Iron Banner items.


I'd really like the titan armour and Goldspiral shader, Iron Banner always seems to land when I've got exams or a project due or something.

Just did vault of glass for the first time. Definitely the best experience I've had on Destiny so far! didn't get much loot aside from shards, legendary boots and chatterwhite shader though!

Man I am SO not high enough to tackle that. I tried it once and the first enemy I ran into slaughtered me. I'm looking fwd to it when I get to a higher level though.

[Silencer]

Pretty sure they did, it was in a recent patch notes. Might only have been for Hard mode though.

QT - you're not supposed to do it solo. It's meant for a team of six players at level 26 or higher. You can solo it, but you need to be way over level and armed to suit - probably wouldn't do it unless you've played it heaps before in a group.

[Wolfdrop]

Looks like it's just +30, My current boots are better but the raid ones look cooler. I'd recommend destiny lfg to everyone if they've not already used it, got a full Vault of Glass group within minutes

[Silencer]

They've added two maps to the Control playlist that were previously only in other game types, yeah.

[Wolfdrop]

Never played control on Burning Shrine, absolutely dominated on skirmish though, think it was my best game yet and I accidentally recorded it, must have pressed the share button sometime in the game before it cause it starts halfway through that.

[Wolfdrop]

Oh man, the loot gods have been good to me today!

Picked up the Starfire Protocol from Xur, which I'd been looking for. Heart of Praxic Fire is probably a bit better but the Starfire Protocol is still great! Just wish it had more Discipline than Intellect.

I grabbed 2 exotic helmet engrams from him too. Got ATS Arachnid, which is no use to me seeing as I only have a warlock. It's pretty shit anyway, zoom in more on golden gun seems a waste of an exotic slot. Just dismantled it for an exotic shard.

Second engram netted me Light Beyond Nemesis, so I can be a revive machine for weekly strikes and raids and have badass wings on my head.

Did 1 Roc strike and got legendary primary weapon engram during the mission, then a legendary ship, Ares Ascendant, at the end.

Afterwards I did ONE bounty to take my vanguard rank to the next level. BOOM, exotic weapon bounty. Went for Bad Juju. I'm going to be throwing nova bombs non-stop with it's combined with Obsidian Mind.

Best Destiny loot day ever...

Do you only play control or something? XD
