Re: Destiny - looks like a hitUgh I had a long post typed up and for whatever friggin reason it was deleted.
Basically there is a lot of gear you can't get anywhere else including that which gets you to 30. You get 500 rep I think for completion (vanguard default, or whatever faction item you have equipped).
Also, I'm pretty sure there is a higher chance of exotic drops. In 3 runs I've done, I've seen 5 exotic weapon drops for my friends. |

I'm level 28 without ever having done a raid. I've still got some light room on my leg, chest and head armor for upgrades so I'm very curious if I can hit 30 with current gear.
Can anybody provide examples of gear that's only doled out in raids? |

You can get to where I am now with 3 pieces of Legendary Armor and One Exotic: » www.bungie.net/en/Legend ··· 465#gearOnly Exotic and Raid Armor go to 30 Light, and you need all 4 slots to be 30 Light to get your character to level 30. And you can only equip 1 Exotic Armor, so the rest have to be be Raid. |

That's weird. I've completed the Raid twice now and I've picked up 1 Shader, 1 Exotic Rocket launcher, and a bunch of Ascendant Energy. No Armor at all. |

Ok, not sure if you can search my guy on the website but as of right now I tossed on a few pieces of raid gear you can take a look at.
My ID is xSpartanC17x
My chest and leg pieces are both raid gear. As well as my shader: Chatterwhite, ship: Glass Minuet, and main weapon: Atheon's Epilogue. |

Yup, exactly right. You can only hit 29 without raid gear which gives you that extra few light to reach 30.
Yea it's completely random like everything else. My first run which I didn't kill Atheon with the group, I received nothing else but shards and energies. Meanwhile, one dude got a full set of raid gear (minus the headpiece of course) and another two guys each got an exotic, 1 The Last Word HC and 1 Truth RL |

And this week, Xur is selling the Exotic Rocket Launcher Truth.
For Titans, he's selling a pretty cool Chest Armor that lets you carry 2 grenades and extra ammo for heavy and special weapons. |

OK. Too lazy to read the entire thread, but is anyone else playing this on the PS3? I'd like to have some kind of group to play with, and all my friends are a bunch of next gen owners.
Love the game. Currently a hunter/bladedancer level 21. So much fun. PVP is awesome. |

I figured as much. Having no friends in the game just stops me from farming patrol or doing story line heroics. I'm having fun doing the strikes and assassinating people in the crucible matches. I might make a titan next. That ground pound looks awesome, especially in crucible where enemies are grouped together in salvage or capture. |

That and it is one of the faster casting supers in the game and doesn't require much aiming as it is a 360 around the Titan instead of only in front of him (which is bullshit). |

Like to purchase this game. Is it an on line only or does it have a SP? Reason I don't play on line is cause I'm lousy. |

said by Chaplain:Sounds like you have titan envy..... I have so much Titan envy that I have leveled one up to 26 (the Armatareum chestpiece that Xur sold this weekend is just straight awesome). Need to take him into the Crucible soon, but I am working on getting him the other two legendary armor slots he is missing (arms and feet; got lucky with a decoherent helmet engram that turned into a legendary) in order to get him to Light 28 first. said by capdjq:Like to purchase this game.

Kinda stuck atm at lvl 28, upgrade mats are slow coming in and I quit playing Xbox back in 2006 almost all together (WoW) and now don't have nearly enough XBL friends anymore to even do the nightfall's let alone VoG... Was having a decent amount of fun with the game up until now. |

My hunter is also stuck at 28. Without raid gear, you will not be able to progress past that level... at this point in the game. There is talk in the next raid release(s) of increasing the Light level cap to 40, which may mean an increase of stuff outside of raid in order to be able to do the new raid(s). |

I think you meant level 29. One Exotic and 3 Legendary pieces of Armor can get a character to level 29. |

This game is getting very boring. Same farming crap.. doing the same raids over and over in hope of a little better gear.
The variety of missions is WAY too small |

I'm betting Destiny player numbers will drop like a rock in November, with the new CoD & Halo MC games hitting. |

Gotcha gotcha. Thanks... and you're a bastage for using the Suros... (says the guy who doesn't own one and hates ARs in Destiny) I'm hoping that Bungie will be updating the funktacular exotics (Bad Juju and Thorn, specifically) soon. Shoot, they just need to make it so that all Hand Cannons do not have less than 8 or 9 shots, as that is a big part of what hurts Thorn (that and the molasses slow reload speed). |

Weird thing is, The Suros is a great gun, but it's not the Primary I use for tough stuff like the Nighfall Strike. You can only equip 1 exotic at a time and I use the Ice Breaker (Secondary) whenever I'm playing cautiously. I usually use the Vanquisher instead of the Suros. And I try to stay out of the Crucible.
I agree about the Bad Juju. I dismantled it. The same for the Pocket Infinity and the Invective. I still have the Super Good Advice in the Vault. Most of the Exotics a player can get through Bounties really suck. |

I'm leveling up the Super Good Advice right now. Problem being that it's a heavy weapon, so I don't get to kill with it nearly as much a primary, which limits its experience intake.
My secondary is one of two legendary fusion rifles, one arc and the other void. I really do need to pick up a solar one at some point, which would allow me to cover all types, especially with the burn conditions tripling the damage they do. |

I got the Suros from Xur recently and actually find the slower rate of fire a little annoying, even though it has more power.... |

Same here. When I'm doing a patrol on Earth or a mission with similarly weak enemies, I prefer a gun with good stability, a big magazine, and a high rate of fire. The Shingen-E (a rare-level gun) works great for this type of stuff. |

Titan lvl 28 (exotic gun-Ice Breaker that everyone else has, armor-The Armamentarian) can't seem to get enough shards to level higher Hunter lvl 26 (one exotic gauntlets-Young Ahamkaras Spine) Warlock lvl 24 (no exotics) I do not want or have played in any crucible (but am getting points as I am on Dead Orbit faction and farm materials for cruc creds with the lower level armourer). I tried the VoG with strangers (got picked while in the tower). I am ---- with Bungie/Activision on their decisions. "they scale the game in a way that on a Level 22 strike or even a level 8 Public event, the main target is a low level but shielded beyond anything we throw at it, until it becomes a bullet sponge...rewarding use with apathy, lost time and some trinkle that is useless at our level)" - anon ... but could be also applied to Borderlands2. I happened to get my 23rd Strange coin JUST after Xur left! Now to wait another week... Honestly, I am bored just farming Mars and Cosmodrome. Took 55mins for damn fallen walker public event to show. Lvl 29 and 30's just camping or sphering enemies... I don't have the time they think I have. Did I mention baboon, elk, impala, jackrabbit... imagine when I stumbled on this link and was like, I have to open MORE ports? » www.bungie.net/en/Help/A ··· le/11931IMHO, it should have been better. Less micromanaging, DLC out in 30 days, not 90, allow private Crucible matches (just friends and their friends), better drops or ability to exceed 25000 glimmer to buy some random goodie at shop that NO ONE else has. Ability to share locker with fire teammates or drop items. Atleast I am amused at some of the voice talent..Dead Orbit is VW in da house and Fargo!, Nathan & Gina from FireFly, Bill Nighy (Speaker) from those Lichen movies, New Monarchy merchant from Dexter, Cryptarch from the Mummy, Claudia Black-special Orders clerk from Stargate and Farscape (amongst other things like Mass Effect 2 and Gears 3 vo), John DiMaggio-gun merchant, from Gears (marcus fenix)... |

I'm sure this game is long off the radar of most, but anyway:
Major updates have happened recently along with the release of The Dark Below DLC today.
Incase anyone wanted to check it out but has since forgotten. |
