Xbox Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Goona be honest. Completely took advantage of that New Loot Cave like area in the rocket yard. In about 4 hours, I went from level 13 to 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of Tom Joad Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've gotten one purple engram... it was a hunter chest that I couldnt wear. Sucks This is by far the most frustrating aspect of game. Beyond the fact that purple engrams almost always get downgraded when they are decoded, it's even more heartbreaking when one finally becomes a purple and it's for a different class. I bought an exotic engram from Xur (knowing the risks) and it was a helmet for a different class than my character. I knew it was possibility, but it still sucks because of how much grinding goes into getting motes of light. New patch coming, and a new loot cave found. Lol. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-patch-1-0-2-coming-next-week-includes-big-/1100-6422596/ I think this week's patch will change cryptarch's nature of decoding too. From now on, all engrams will decode at their given colour, at the very least, with an increased possibility now for blues to become purples and purples to be yellows. With this update, if they don't patch the new cave, it's gonna be a gongshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Man, this armor with Light that I found has 70 less Defense than the armor I was wearing. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a scout rifle. I didn't get any purple engrams after trying again at level 20, but I got 5 blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous.If the armour you had before didn't have any light on it, don't worry, the light makes your attack + defense against AI stronger I believe.And in PVP it doesn't matter at all, well not until Iron Banner is released.

:D Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I cannot get the hang of the Fusion Rifle...Is there an advantage to using it over a Shotgun or Sniper Rifle? I have a legendary fusion against blue of the other two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I cannot get the hang of the Fusion Rifle... Is there an advantage to using it over a Shotgun or Sniper Rifle? I have a legendary fusion against blue of the other two... Personally I find the Fusion Rifle is much, much better than the Sniper or Shotgun (except in PvP). The charge gives it much more damage and it drops enemies faster. I don't use the Shotgun ever, and only use the Sniper when I'm in the crucible. In the beta I hated the Fusion Rifle. Once you get used to it, it's unreal. I Still need to get a Legendary Fusion Rifle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEON.KNEE Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I cannot get the hang of the Fusion Rifle... Is there an advantage to using it over a Shotgun or Sniper Rifle? I have a legendary fusion against blue of the other two... The first legendary I got was a fusion rifle, and it really changed the game for me (in PVE at least) I was able to do consider damage in game modes I had no business being in and once I unlocked the over penetrate mod on the weapon I am chewing thru oncoming mobs with little fear of being downed. I now have one of each ammo type (albeit not legendary status, still working on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a legendary fusion against blue of the other two... Fusion rifle is a lot like the Rail gun from Halo 4, except without any splash damage. It really depends with the weapon-- if it has a low impact rating, you'll need more than one shot to take out someone in PvP at a medium range, which can be problematic because of its charge time. I always try different loadouts, but I always come back to shotgun+melee; it's just too good to give up on (in PvP). I've never used the shotgun in PvE.

Joel Heyman Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have a fully upgraded fast-charge rare fusion rifle and I love it. So many kills in close. Once you have the timing down and know your effective range its amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Warlock as long as I'm not up against a bubble or the bladedancer I'm OP with this combo. Honestly I win 1v1's 90% of the time just because of my extended melee distance.

If you use the Sunslinger loadout it's even more ridiculously OP because every time you kill someone with your melee, you get an overshield for 10 seconds after.

:D Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I roll with an auto or pulse rifle and a sniper on secondary. All PvE, all the time, fellows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFastOne21 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I havent picked this game up yet. I have a buddy or two that have the game that keep telling me to get it to play with them. What makes this game special or not special to you? Do you consider it worth $60-70. I've heard its repetitive, that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm officially old. Don't know anything about this game at all, except I've seen it as a thread. Don't know what it's about, so I'm going to guess it's like Mass Effect. In related news, I now have more grey hair than brown hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes this game special or not special to you? Do you consider it worth $60-70. I've heard its repetitive, that true? The story missions are awful and very repetitive. The best way I can describe Destiny is as a jack of all trades and master of none. It feels like the focus was quantity, not necessarily quality. Don't get me wrong, I like the game and I've enjoyed playing it, but I play PvP almost exclusively. I'm a huge Bungie fan too, and since making the move to Playstation for the first time ever this generation, Destiny allows me to bask in some good-old Halo nostalgia. Also, the grinding you have to do after level 20 is pretty ridiculous, but I've heard that's standard for MMOs/RPGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:D Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's a great time to team up with some people you know and rip some mobs up with everyone voice-connected. Otherwise it is obvious that this is a mere first installment and a lot more is/needs to be coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll maybe wait till a sale for it. @Ghost: I'm not much for the "grinding" in MMO's but I do enjoy the PVP aspects. I think i'll wait for a sale. Thanks for the info! I do kind of miss the Halo nostalgia though, sale it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
