I honestly don't even know how they got the initial doors open, because there's 3 plates you have to defend from waves of enemies. I could see 3 people, but 2 is just :D.
I watched a little of the video and the guy they showed never even went to the middle plate. Either the other guy handled both or they know some way to keep enemies from spawning over there. He did show off his character and he had 15+ Legendary/Exotic armor and weapons fully upgraded. One of each gun, 4 helmets (3 Exotic). Safe to say he has sunk some serious time into playing Destiny. I still need 12 more shards to completely upgrade my armor, hoping that will bring me to lvl 29.Quote:

What are you playing as? I am a Titan Female Striker but have been considering trying out the Warlock.Quote:

-Level 23 Female Hunter Gunslinger
-Level 22 Female Warlock Sunsinger
I had a level 28 Male Titan that I initially created but I ended up deleting him. I use the Titan for 99% of my time playing but the other classes are cool, too.
I'd say the Hunter is probably the best for the Crucible simply because both of the Hunter classes have really overpowered Supers. Gunslinger is basically a guaranteed 3 kills if you can aim (4 if you have the Exotic helmet that gives you an extra shot) and Bladedancer is the most overpowered super in the entire game, IMO.
I've spent the least amount of time on my Warlock, however, it's probably up there with Titan Defender for most useful during PVE because of it's super being able to self revive, which is just indescribably good during things like Nightfall or Raids.
I'd like to get all 3 around 27 or 28 so that I can do the weekly heroic and get 9 strange coins for each of them, guaranteeing me at least 27 per week. It'll be awhile, but I'll get there eventually.
I tried to run with Warlock but after a couple levels, having to regurgitate the story line again, it got deleted. My Titan is just fine and I really need to start playing some of my other games. Last night, after the Warlock experience, I decided to do some strikes. Generally I tend to be the top in kills, because while the others are blasting away at spongebob strike boss, I am defending them from the swarms. Team player and such. So what do I get for my effort last night? The RNG in the bunghole. Nothing new but last night it was like Bungie stuck it in as far as it could go. Did around 10 or so strikes (lvl 24) since it is the hardest with matchmaking. In that playtime 3 different people got a Legendary engram, all three had the lowest kill/assist rate. If that was not enough I upgrade the cryptarch twice and the postmaster of disaster gives me 3 rare engrams each time. Turned in well over 30 engrams and all I got were rare items and a couple motes of light. Not a single strange coin so I would at least buy something Exotic this weekend. The final straw was completing a public event, going back to the postmaster general and getting a mote of light instead of shard/energy.
Kicking the Destiny habit is harder than quitting dipping.
Xur is selling the Ice Breaker exotic sniper rifle for 17 strange coins this weekend. I had plenty, so I figured why not. Completely maxed out range + constantly regenerating 6 round clip (you never have to pick up ammo, it regenerates a round every 6 seconds) piqued my interest.
:D
People are literally going to be blasting through nightfall missions solo with this thing, especially upgraded. It's ridiculous how overpowered this thing is. I'd imagine those oracles on the Raid are going to be much easier to deal with as well. Possibly the single best gun for PvE (I haven't tried it in the Crucible yet). Well worth the 17 strange coins.
I need to start fishing for more strange coins :D

Fortunately you like to play PvP. Twice I have gotten them only to quit once you hit the point they send you over to the Crucible for some task I could never accomplish. Such a tease because you think you are getting an Exotic after the first and second task, nope.Quote:

I should have gone to the internet before I picked from the three options on both occasions. That one sounds easy, depending on if there are any variables for the Nightfall strike. Dying somehow affected your total in the Crucible tasks but have no idea how since I knew I could never beat it.Quote:

Pretty quick until needing to dismantle 10 rare or better fusion rifles.

It's not too bad, but it's a HUGE grind. You have to dismantle 10 rare fusion rifles and then you have to keep another really good one on hand for the 200 kills with a fusion rifle in the nightfall strike. It's a huge pain in the ass. I basically killed the same 20 minions at the beginning, went back to orbit, then did it again, etc...Quote:

Also, Bungie basically admitted that there's basically no difference between a level 5 and a level 30 in the Iron Banner, even though it's supposed to take all those advantages into account. A level 5 player with a level 5 weapon has the SAME time to kill as a level 30 with a fully leveled Suros Regime, for example.
Bungie's excuse? They want "everyone to be able to enjoy Iron Banner." By that logic, there should be low level Raids so that everyone can experience that, right?
They are so off balance on everything.
I did the impossible, for me at least, being an average FPS at best. Beat the Weekly Heroic Strike on lvl 28 so I could get those 9 coins that would let me purchase the Ice Breaker. To make it even harder I scrapped my Legendary Sniper Rifle a few days ago for the shards. Had to take like two hours and the boss a good 30 minutes. Doing it solo you have to find the right spots where you will not get attacked by groups and on the last boss hoping he would not spawn right next to me, along with a couple enemies. A few close calls but damn was it a good feeling when he finally went down.
The Ice Breaker was well worth the time. Once it is upgraded it will be a scary good, as it is already a great sniper from the start. You not only have the regeneration, there is a mulligan option for a chance to get a bullet back with a miss and down the line explosive damage. I am not good enough to use a sniper outside of the slow moving bosses/enemies and of course the cabal but that is enough for me.
Cleared the Nightfall on my level 25 alt with it last night. :D
Nightfall is too much pressure for me. I got half way through this weeks and then pulled a dumbass move of trying to make it past a bunch of enemies on one of their little scooters, without using the gun. Forgot that when you died it you head back to orbit. :fp:
Cheesed Atheon on Hard last night and got a raid helmet for my Warlock. While I'll take it, I'm really only hoping for one thing - the one thing I'm sure everyone else is hoping for. Oh well. I think I'm going to try for it again tonight with my Titan, only thing is I'm not sure you can knock his ass off the ledge with a Titan.
Finally beat Nightfall, though it took having another player to beat the boss. Have no clue how you beat him by yourself? I did it on my first try on Weekly Heroic but was getting slaughtered on Nightfall until I got someone with the shield.
You can get under the platform on the top left part of the map and shoot him. He can still hit you, but there's spots you can go under there to recover where he can't hit you.Quote:

Ahh, will check that out next time. I just hid at the entrance as you have some space to jump back and avoid damage. Would run around the corner, use grenade and a couple shots and sprint back to safety. Nightfall hurt that because of the extra damage his minions would deal out and could not get back in time.Quote:

Joined a few guys for the final boss of Vault Of Glass. Damn! That was my first time doing it. We couldn't beat it. I did just pull an exotic machine gun from the Iron Banner though.

Now that is throwing yourself to the Lions. Congrats on the Exotic.Quote:

Best kept secret in the Crucible. You might get 3 kills with a rocket launcher if you're lucky. You can get WAY more with a machine gun. You will win literally any gun battle against anything other than another machine gun, and your only worry should be staying away from rocket launchers and supers.Quote:

It's ridiculous that a weapon like this even exists in a game like this. :D
Then I'll give it a whirl :up:Quote:

Is there any worth to dismantling an exotic weapon?
Using Tapatalk on my Samsung Galaxy S5 for shats & gaggles.
Same as Legendary weapons - you get Ascendant Energy (which is used for the latter upgrades of legendary and exotic weapons).
And ascendant shards from dismantling legendary and exotic armor?Quote:

Yep. Energy is much harder for me to come by personally, so I usually dismantle the weapons I have no intention of using. I've heard it's the other way around for some people - they get tons of energy and hardly any shards. I have 70+ shards and 18 energy.
Yeah right now shards are more rare for me.

Make sure you're doing at least one Public Event per day. You get a reward every day you do one, and it's usually Energy or Shards. Earth is the best for it. Mothyards has one at xx:00 and xx:30, while the Divide has them at xx:15 and xx:45 pretty much 100% of the time.Quote:

You're right about the exotic machine gun. I'm tearing people up.Quote:

I gave up on the exotic Hand Cannon bounty. No way I'll get 500 marks in the Crucible when you get 5 for a kill and -2 for every death. I play too balls to the wall on Control to get traction there.

I would kill for the Vex Mythoclast, Fusion rifle is my favorite gun. Just not willing to mess with the Raid on hard or on normal for that matter. ;)Quote:
