    I tihnk I may pick up that exotic hunter's helm. Having radar on when zoomed in with a primary would be awesome in PVP.

      Re: Destiny

      I just got that random bounty for an exotic weapon. Going after the shotgun. First thing up... complete 5 strikes without dying. lol. Actually its not that hard, most of the stuff I need to do isn't that bad except for the PVP part. I have to have 25 more kills than deaths in a single match and have a certin KD ratio.

      I don't know why some people have been QQ'ng about Destiny and how much work you have to put in to get good stuff. When I first started playing post lvl 20 I saw all kinds of similarites to World of Warcraft.. I'm talking about vanilla WoW back when you felt like you really accomplished something when you got a piece of epic gear. This was back when WoW was fun to me and I hope Bungie continues to follow and borrow from WoW VANILLA.

      I guess some people aren't used to mmo's (I know this is a shooter but it's got mmo aspects). You cant log in, roll a character and be god mode a week later. Bungie was smart because this keeps things paced out nice and it keeps you wondering what's to come. There's not going to be a "Destiny 2".. this game will keep getting new content and expansions, more "dungeons" bosses, raids, gear, etc for months and probably years to come, just like most actual MMO's and because of that, this is exactly why you cant just get full on god mode gear a week into the game. Some people won't be able to handle Destiny and the grind and the work needed to be put in but I don't think Bungie was after those people anyways. Those people are the reason why WoW threw up the white flag, made the game EZ mode where leveling and gear is concerend and WoW has been on the decline ever since.

      For those of you that get what I'm saying, I hope I find you in game so we can explore, shoot, kill, loot and dominate for months and years to come. For those of you with a "mellinial sense of entitlement" attitude to the game, there are tons of other games out there where you can get cheat codes or pay 20.00 to epic your guy out two days in. Go there, have your fun and leave Destiny to the real men.. *ahem* and women.

          You mean they envisioned people to enjoy challenges and have a real sense of accomplishment in their game? They didn't "do away" with the loot cave as if it was meant to be there. You have to understand that Bungie has a TON of more content, more difficult stuff, better rewards, etc moving forward.. and they have to pace it out, which means pacing out how fast you can hit your "god mode" in this game. Could you imagine 95% of the server popluation running around with best in slot and best in class gear fully decked out? THAT would temper my excitement for the game... then again I'm from the old school where games like Dark Souls, etc I find to be refreshing in the world of Pay 60.00 for our game, pay 79.99 for it and get epiced out in two days and beat our game over a weekend.

            You sure don't need to do that. It carries over from game to game and the bounty will tell you your spread. After my first game I was +6, after my second I was +12 and finished it in my third game. A tip: If you're on the moon, grab the tank and you'll hit it.

                Re: Destiny

                Funny the last expedition to the Loot cave before the update I got a Legendary Engram which turned out to me my first exotic weapon. Unfortunately it's a pistol. It's called "Hawkmoon."

                I figure I'll store it and dismantle it eventually. I also got a purple Fusion Rifle which I dismantled because the charge time was horrible. Instant death to your self in the crucible.

                And of course picked up the Queen's Guard Robes on the mission to Russia. Too easy to pass up.

                  For the 5 strikes, hit up the Devil's Lair. You finish Step 1 in about 25-30 minutes based on level. Do the PVP. Step 3 is to do the weekly strike so hold off doing it for coins unless u want to do it a 2nd time ha.

                      Re: Destiny

                      I think the general mindset of gaming plays into whether or not you "like" this game, or whether certain aspects"bother" certain people. I know this isn't Halo but I'm using it as an analogy.

                      I have played every one, and not once did I buy it for the story (as good as it was). I bought it with full intention of playing the crap out of MP. Therefore, I will never find Crucible in Destiny as a "grind". Preference is preference and there's nothing wrong with not wanting to play the multi-player. I personally love it and will continue playing it the majority of my gaming time with this game.

                      Having said all that me and my 2 buddies have been enjoying the hell out of missions and strikes. The fact that we can get on whenever and play any mission on any given planet together is an absolute blast. There arent many games out there that offer such a seamless amount of co-op and fun.

                      The whole gear thing boggles my mind. The whole point is to constantly be upgrading, especially come dlc. There's never a true "end" to this game, from what I've gathered from Bungie, and that is the beauty of it all. What's the point of hitting max as fast as possible just to be annoyed you have nothing more to do? Outside of a lackluster "story" this game offers the best of all world's IMO. Play solo, or co-op with randoms/friend's or play MP. What more is there?

                          My complaints are not centered on the grind, but the experience. There's not enough adventure and unique thinks occurring. Environments, while being completely different in name and appearance, all act and feel the same. I need more adventure and intrigue than point/shoot/collect loot.

                          There's no narrative of value, and to find information I have to research Grimoire cards online.

                              Re: Destiny

                              Coming next week:

                              The 1.0.2 patch will go live next week, and includes several changes to the Cryptarch and Engram experience. These changes guarantee that Engrams will always decode into items at or above the quality of an engram.

                              Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change.

                              Cryptarch Changes 
                              Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly.
                              Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics
                              Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items
                              Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items

                              Activity Changes
                              Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards

                              Item Changes
                              Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade
                              Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already...
