This thread should be titled "an exhaustive list of Saru's realizations about Destiny." I just found out you can do the heroic strike three times per person! Whenever I heard before of doing it three times, I always thought people meant doing it on three characters.* This means that the Bad Juju bounty where I did Nightfalls and Heroics over and over again with no reward... Dear god. I'm talking like... 100s of coins lost... STILL... Xur here I come *Or just once for 9 strange coins. God, how did I never think to change the difficulty level >.<

Patience and Time:Sniper rifle of the gods. Your radar stays on screen and active camo turns on whenever you look down your scope. It's so fun

Ahhh, man that sucks. Yeah I didn't even touch the story until I was level 15 or so, once I unlocked bounties. When you say swamped by thralls, are you on the dark beyond or whatever, where the ghost yells "WE'VE WOKEN THE HIVE!!! "? I hated the transition from Earth to moon. I seriously wasn't sure what to do once I'd beaten earth. I didn't realize that early on that glowing i on the moon meant it was a new place... I tried the level 8 strike, but at level 4 it was obviously impossible. So I tried crucible and came back once I was better.

It's only 17! (the Last Word was 23 last Friday). Weekly heroic strikes, and prison of elders will get you that in no time. I got 70 strange coins from last Saturday to this morning, but 12 were from Nightfall...

XUR IS SELLING GJALLAHORNS. I also have 102 motes of light I will spending praying for acd feedback and nothing manacles <3

Does anyone have any tips for Skolas? I'm thinking of giving him a go today. Or at the very least, an average time for completion? (I'm guessing my first time will take much longer). edit: ok yeah drop rate has definitely increased XD

I just got this buy an xbox one and play Destiny pls and then you can be like "wow how many months were you farming those guys for that really rare gun?" "oh, just a few hours." and then you can be like "wow [bleep] you" and I can be like "ok in 10 minutes? i'm in a raid atm"

Indeed!

I finally received the Black Hammer tonight :D , then a Thunderlord from a Legenday Engram dropped by some random thrall... not to mention the Bones of Eao from *non treasure chest* POE yesterday... it's pretty great. Also: Mfw the Bungie update today stated that Husk of the Pit will now drop again. #killedabout100BladesOfCrotaLastWeekend Now Ice Breaker really is the last Exotic I need. Besides, I guess Red Death.

Yes! I'm very excited for TTK. I do want to get Ice Breaker/Black Hammer before they are nerfed, though :(.

I miss all my Runescape friends :( but I can't quit destiny. I've already given it my soul WHAT IS THAT A GJALLAHORN? YES THAT IS A GJALLAHORN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. YES IT IS. Also: Mfw I didn't realise my gamertag Urtehnoes was so hard to pronounce. It's 4 words guys: U R Teh Noes. From my RSN I R Teh Noes. Which is my current RSN, created after I got sick of people talking all "non smart-like" and decided: If I can't beat them, join them! Which is when my e-grammrar started to sharply decline. So I made a nonsense name composed of 4 commonly used abbreviations to symbolize my fall. And what do people call me in Xbox Chat? Urethra. OK COME ON MY NAME IS NOT THAT SIMILAR. <_< :rolleyes: :shades: I miss this emoticons :wub: :( :wacko: :ph34r: :-D :-D :huh: :o :mellow:

Ok... HOLD UP EVERYONE. You can manage your gear and outfit from Bungie.net. Mind blown. MIND BLOWN!!! (Oh... you can't tell from the picture but I just dragged Atheon's Epilogue from the stash to my gear, and in game voila it appeared!) No more going to the stash with all my characters oh my goddddddddddddd. (also - fancy outfit :D)

I received a Furnace about two weeks in when I first started playing. I tried it on one boss, said "meh" and salvaged it. Skip to a month later where I'm rifting trying to get a Furnace, and browsing through my cosmetics and I see the Furnace there. And it all came rushing back. D'oh! I'd still kill for an SMK though :D

Yesssssssssss. Loved D3:ROS until I went months without a Furnace or Starmetal Kukri (Witch Doctor).

HELLO SIR, WHERE ARE THE [bleep] ARE THE ARAXXI KILLS. Please stop killing this Yamaha monster or whatever and return to your octopedal roots.

I'm exciting for the Taken King From http://kotaku.com/destiny-the-taken-king-sounds-promising-as-hell-1722072935 : There are eight new story missions that Bungie’s calling the “first act” of The Taken King, and then there will be a host of other quests and bounty chains that you can get from various vendors at the Reef and Tower. One example of these endgame quests: Unsealed Paradox, a mission set inside the Vault of Glass that’s all about a certain dude by the name of Praedyth. There’s also the raid, of course; it’s called King’s Fall and Bungie’s hyping it up to hell and back. (So stoked for this one.)Lots of little story touches—because what would Destiny be without story?—like the new Nolan North-voiced Ghost jabbering with Eris Morn, Zavala, and other various characters as you play. You’ll also be able to examine random objects during missions for little blasts of lore, Bungie says. Maybe this is how they’ll implement all those grimoire cards?They’re reorganizing old story missions too, to better incorporate the stuff from The Dark Below and House of Wolves into the main quest. The reef, for example, will now open up once you meet the Awoken Queen.Members of the Taken—the new enemy race—have all sorts of abilities: Taken Wizards, for example, will summon shadow thralls to kill you. Taken Vandals have Titan-Defender-like shields and Taken Captains throw orbs that can temporarily blind you.There are four new strikes: Fallen Saber (on Earth; you’ll fight against a super-powered Shank); Shield Brothers (on the Dreadnaught; you’ll take out two Cabal leaders); Sunless Cell (hunt down a Hive Darkblade who rebelled against Oryx); and Echo Chamber (this is the PlayStation-exclusive one; it’s yet another Vex mind). Three old strikes are also getting remixed: Dust Palace, Undying Mind, and Cerberus Vae.These new strikes have “raid-light” mechanics, Bungie says; in other words, you won’t just be killing waves of enemies, thank god. And since the developers are well aware of how repetitive strikes are, they’re triggering these new and revised strikes to change up enemies and even narrations on replays, which could be either really great or really irritating. No in-between.Year One legendary weapons will go obsolete fast—Bungie says that when you load up The Taken King, you might even find white or green weapons with higher attack values than your poor 365 Fatebringer and Vision of Confluence. RIP.You’ll be able to turn in Bounties without going back to the vendor. Game-changer.The Gunsmith in the Tower will have his own reputation meter and bounties—work with him enough and you’ll be able to order weekly weapon deliveries, which sound really neat. Once a week you can pay him for a new legendary weapon, which will arrive on Wednesday with a random set of new perks.Lots of reputation/material streamlining: Vanguard and Crucible marks are turning into one pool called Legendary Marks, while all class armor materials (like Plasteel Plating) will morph into items called Armor Materials.No new vault space yet. Says Luke Smith to GI: “We’re still bumping into a technical limitation for vault space. We are exploring options for getting stuff out of players’ inventories via these kiosks that we’ve placed around the tower, but we’re still working toward a solution that we’re excited about.”There’s an exotic pulse rifle called No Time To Explain. Yep.Lots of other new exotics coming too, like Sleeper Simulant, a heavy weapon fusion rifle that shoots bouncy laser blasts. You have to do a whole quest line (filled with puzzles, Bungie says—actual puzzles!) to get this one.Crucible quest lines are coming, as are new Crucible bounty types. Trials of Osiris will get its own set of bounties, and you’ll be able to play through an array of weekly Crucible bounties that eventually lead you to exotic-caliber rewards. This is in addition to all the new PVP maps (eight!) and modes (three that we know of, so far).The Dreadnaught sounds pretty rad, like it’ll be full of more interesting content than most patrol zones that are in Destiny today. Says Smith: “Through your adventuring on the hive ship, you’re going to find a bunch of arcane objects that you can use to summon ultra bosses.” Uh, yes. Regarding the end of year 1 weapons: Sad, but needed. Although I just got here a month ago, I would not still be playing if I started back in Sept, if all the weapons that were good then were good now. Yes, it really sucks to have to give up old weapons - no denying this at all. But, it's a needed requirement to keep the game fresh. I love using Gjallahorns because its a guaranteed kill. I hate using Gjallahorns because there are other heavy weapon items that I want to use. I'd love to use my Super Good Advice on a boss, besides Quodron in 32/34 POE. (Tip: Super Good Advice bullets that hit the shield are returned to you. :) ) What I believe they should do, to make everyone happy, is to give those fabled weapons a little bit extra back when dismantling them. Dismantling a 365 Fatebringer shouldn't give back an Etheric light, but perhaps 1/10th of a material that can be used to upgrade year 2 weapons. Your gun served it's purpose - and you can still use it, or you can give it up and in doing so, are that much closer to the newer weapons. Or... Something. Idk. I'm really wishing I bought a PS4 with Destiny, since The Taken King has another PS4 exclusive. wtf.

Nice! http://destinytracker.com/destiny/overview/xbox/Urtehnoes @ the design decisions, apparently Taken King is revamping all of that. (And for the price of the expansion, it better, lol.) I really need to stop training weapons in Crucible .... It gives me such terrible k/d. Like using No Land Beyond even though I'm terrible at sniping. That said, I did Vault of Glass hardmode last night, my 5th Aspect of Glass :D who needs anything else, right??

this is a valid achievement NOT. lololololl

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy go get em gz gz

At least he didn't DC while purchasing his cape

Just wait for Mourning's Bend Part IV, which is where you play a colorblind gnome wearing a mourner's mask that covers most of your field of sight. The quest is the exact same thing as Mourning's End Part II, except backwards, and there's a time limit. It doesn't count as grinding though, because the puzzle changes every time you die or run out of time. So, that's cool.

^^ same. I lucked out with my warlock just now, fired a rocket and got like 5 guys. I swoop back around to the same spot like 30 seconds later (cauldron, zone B, of course) nova bomb and bam wipe out the whole team >.< was epic. I've gotten two exotic bounties this weekend o.O Bad Juju, and Super Good Advice. Spent all Friday doing Nightfall after Nightfall. Yikes. Almost rank 5 iron banner on two characters though, so that's cool. I can't decide if the weapons are worth it or not. Timur's Lash looks pretty cool, but handguns will be nerfed soon :(

I have 3 Atalanta's Hunts >.< Iron Banner is here!! Yay! Time for my KDR to plummet ;0 Protip: Machine Gun sprees only count if you don't reload. I discovered that after a 12 kill streak w/ the machine gun w/o a spree medal. Oh. Because I was reloading. >.< Edit: Double legends :o

Spaceships from the Dark Below are the dumbest looking things I've ever seen.

Matador <3 I love Party crasher but the impact of Matador is the best. Just got invective a few days ago. Yet to try out. Did my 3rd vault of glass last night, got Vex Mythoclast <3
