Just got the game today. Almost to level 7. I don't usually like to play FPS games on consoles (mouse + keyboard >>> controller imo) but this is pretty fun. I know it's a small touch, but I like how they utilized the light bar on the PS4 controller.

Having a blast so far even though my gaming time is pretty limited.

The new raid dungeon is open that you can take 6 people into. No matchmaking, but you can continue your progress if you stick with the same raid leader... sounding more like an MMO, and I have no problems with that.

Yeah, I don't think anyone on the XB1 has gear that's good enough to access the mission yet. I'm a lvl 24 and it won't let me access the weekly nightfall strike yet, so I doubt I can do the vault of glass. Hopefully I'll be ready this weekend, when I can devote that much time to it.

I guess we don't rule #1 in the Nerdery.

Also, on PS4, is there a high level Titan that can create the bubble shield? I am pretty sure that person's character will be super important for the six person raids.

In case you guys are wondering, I am a bladedancer. So, against some bosses my super is useless.

You can always switch to gunslinger right before a boss. I switch the ability of my super for void Walker so it does 3 projectiles instead of the drain ability

Man that bladedancer power the hunters get can really mess you up in the crucible. Had multiple times where in the 3v3 playlist some guy would charge in and light all 3 of us up since we tend to stay close together for support. Thing is ridiculous, I managed to rocket launcher him one time to trade out but that was it.

Least they aren't skill-less locks and titans.

The warlocks one isn't exactly skillless. There are times even in the campaign where I have missed if I hit a wall or overshoot it.

I would say the only one that truly relies on skill would be gunslinger. The bladedancer is just like the Sword of Crota and that bad boy was just a button jam fest.

Just watched a youtube video of a group attempting the Vault of Glass. They had 3 guys, and they were overwhelmed. Looks like you're going to have to have all 6 people in a raid to do it affectively. It's pretty crazy.

It actually will let me access it. Depending on who's on tonight, you may get some invites, just so we can test the waters

Holy balls!!!!

Bungie better be careful. They could be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity or torture!

Loot farming made easy!



quote:
Here's what you do:

  • Begin the Moon story mission "The Dark Beyond." Change the difficulty to be a few levels below where you're currently at, so it's not too easy.
  • Play through the mission up through the cutscene where your character finds the dead guardian outside the big moon door.
  • When the fallen come rushing out of the door, shoot all of the thralls that charge you, but ignore the knights and acolytes. Stay at the bottom of the stairs, and let the knights and acolytes kill you. You'll respawn immediately before the door opened, but whatever loot the thralls dropped will remain.
  • Repeat over and over again, and watch the loot pile up.
  • Profit.
  • Optional Minigame: Every time Ghost exclaims "We've woken the Hive!" respond by crying "Whatever shall we do??" in your most panicked voice.

question:

For the first Earth Strike, did you die a lot during it?

Reading the 1600 kills gives me a little hope that perhaps this game isn't easy at any level and dying may just be a part of the game. After getting through the barrier, I kept getting killed by the tank (as did my teammates). Is that just expected?

I'm new to multiplayer so I am really not used to be killed off.

Interesting fact, both teams had:

3 Titans
2 Hunters
1 Warlock

I will try this for level 24 and see what happens. Hopefully it a) works and b) the loot is not so bad since I am level 24

What I find interesting is that Bungie estimated 6 hours for a raid, and these guys were double that. Curious if there's more efficient ways to run them... so begins the speed raid runs!

Just found a ship schematic in a chest on Venus. Ooooooh.

The ship is called "laughing behind your back"

Hmmm

They obviously didn't play test it enough. Unless they are using it as a marketing ploy, they would not have sold that - as a real estimate - if their BEST time, across the globe, was 10.5 hours.

No effing way would I play one round of something for more than 1 hour.

Came here to post this. I did this for about 15 minutes or so just to top myself off to level 10. I got 15 drops, but only 3 were engrams. Got ~350 glimmer, too.
