    Re: Destiny

    Man you guys make me feel like a little bitch beating the raids 50 times on hard and breezing through the weeklys solo.

    I can't even get through a weekly with a full crew. Got to the finl boss in the raid and spent and hour getting demolished.


    Btw the Suros upgrade that slows down fire rate when you zoom, not a fan.

      Re: Destiny

      Since a lot of people here are getting new guns/exotics, I highly recommend buying and learning how to use telemetry packs. They only cost one strange coin for a five pack from Xur and if used right, can fully upgrade an exotic or legendary weapon significantly faster.

        Use them before turning in bounties right?

          BTW, picked up the Suros yesterday, that thing owns in PVP. No wonder I was getting my butt kicked. I don't even have it fully stabilized yet.

            Same here. Atheon was absolutely slaughtering our group. We never even came close to killing him despite all of us being level 28/29.

                Kind of.

                I complete five bounties, preferably +5000's.

                Then run the daily heroic at the hardest level, usually worth +7500.

                Depending on the length of the daily heroic, I pop the telemetry pack during the middle.

                After you complete the daily, then turn in all the bounties.

                This will net you huge experience gains.

                If you still have time left on telemetry at that point, run a strike for a bonus.

                    It slows down fire but those last rounds hit probably harder than any other auto rifle in the game. Im hitting things for 500+ per round on those last few rounds when zoomed in.

                      Plus when it slows down I've found it much easier to get precision kills. That's my thing I always try to aim for the head on everyone

                        Re: Destiny

                        I love Destiny but I'm afraid for it's future. What I mean is it borrows from some things form more traditional MMO's but I don't think it borrows enough.

                        For example, they have borrowed content progression from MMO's such as World of Warcraft. what I mean is you start out low level, you do missions, quests, play the story, PVP, etc and you level up. At some point you start doing strikes (in WoW we would cal these 5 man dungeons). Some more challenging than others, but after running them a few times you get comfortable with them all, even on Nightfall.

                        Then you move up to raiding, which is the next evolution of content/difficulty/and achivement. But herin' lies my problem. For me the raid should be the primary route to get the best gear in game, including weapons. I'm not just talking about armor that will push you to 30, I mean weapons as well. Sure Suros and things like that can drop in a raid, but honestly other than my armor, I have about 6 exotic weapons that are better than any legendar 'raid only' weapon that drops in a raid. How did I get them? Easy weapon bounties, (one random world drop, which is fine) and me simply playing every night, hoarding coins and waiting for Xur to show up every week so i can easily snatch up things like Suros, etc.

                        The previous paragraph is what worries me a bit. I think its actully too easy to get the best weapons in the game. Other than raiding for armor to push me to 30, i dont have to set one foot in the raid to get better weapons. All I need to do is just do what I do every day, then wait for the candy man to show up every week.

                        I hope with the new raid content coming in December they come with things that start to make the weapons EVERYONE can get in their sleep from Xur make those thins look like toy guns. I understand Bungie being new at this needs to cater to the more lazy casual gamer some to keep them happy as well but I think right now gear and weapons are imbalanced in how easy they are to obtain in relation to actual "endgame" content.

                        I remember going to Orgrimar in WoW and seeing a warrior with a sword in town that looked so amazing you knew EXACTLY what weapon that was and you knew EXACTLY the hell (or luck) he had to go through to get it. I would be like "oh wow.. that dude must have just ran raid __X___ because I see the sword hes got and thatst he ONLY way to get it".

                        Right now gear and weapons don't really scale to the difficulty it should take to get some of them. I see 500 people running around with Suros now. Why? Because its so easy to get.

                        Sure some people will disagree with me and some people will flame me but honestly you have to give people a legit reason to want to progress their characters to "raid ready" so they can go into the raid, learn it, survive, accomplish the task at hand and potentially be rewarded with things that my neighber cant just go farm coins for a week and pick up from the travelling saleman. And YES I KNOW the armor to push you to 30 can only be found in the raids.. I just think some of the weapons should be purely reserved for making it through that kind of content. Think about it.. I have 6 exotic weapons, and 5 peices of exotic armor for my one Titan, and I didnt have to set foot in a single raid to get it. Other than 3 weapon bounties I did (my helm was a random purple drop that became exotic), everything else was just me getting coins and shopping, and I think that takes away from the people who actually go into a raid, learn it, and survive it.

To be honest though, we were just figuring it out as we went. I did get the raid gauntlets though, so that's pretty awesome.

                            Anyways, if I'm around tomorrow night after 8:30PM EST or so, I'll need five hardy men to help me finish the raid. Again, I really don't know much about it when it comes to the strategy, but I have an idea of what's going on.

                            PSN is Kearnzo. If I'm on tomorrow night around 8:30, just join my game or shoot me a message. I'll need 5 more, as none of my other group are gonna be around to finish it.
                            Any interest in this? I should be able to hop on anywhere from 8:30-8:45 EST tonight. Still need five others.

                              I would be. Did the raid once, didn't finish because guys had to leave. If I'm on and you need someone don't hesitate to invite
