So you could technically grind the daily and weekly challenges all the way to 600? Seeing as they only give +1 after 520 it would take a long time though right?

What I mean is, after 520 can you still make some progress without just running the Nightfall and Raid? Even if it's slow.

Yeah now that I re-read it, that seems right. You get +1 for challenges which is slow but not horrible.

What I hate is that you hit a cap once you run out of those. I'm too low to do nightfall and I did all my challenges, so I may as well just stop playing until next week. Of course there's still lots to grind for now but I don't like how it time gates everything. I don't get why you can't just play the game and get more power.

Does anyone know what 500 level strikes give as far as rewards?
 
The gameplay was fun for sure, I'm just not sure where the story was. Supposedly the people who dig into the lore are finding all sorts of stuff along the way. Check out My Name is Byf on Youtube. Most youtubers are crap, but he does a great job actually filling in the missing parts of the story. Seems this is the only way to dig the story out of the game.

I never get why Destiny does this. I get that loot drops over time of course, but that loot shouldn't have the story in it too. I have yet to get a new exotic to drop yet so sort of frustrating.

Game is fun overall, I think I just need a break. Been playing too much.
 
Finally got my 5 invader hand cannon kills for the Ace quest. I used Crimson for it, some people say to use Drang and Sturm.
I just got this over the weekend, wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

Played about 10 Gambit matches yesterday and it's a blast.

Gambit is a ton of fun, the problem is that the rewards are nothing for it. You just get a 500 blue or two and that's it.

They need to make Gambit count towards PVP challenges as the actual PVP is really bad.

The tiny dribble of rewards and constant need for materials is turning me off of this game already. Players should not hit a soft cap within hours of buying an expansion. Bungie is confusing endgame with time specific grinds. I really have nothing to do until tomorrow when I can unlock another subclass and do more milestones.

You can get Prime engrams to drop right? I had one drop in Gambit last night.

I'm still not sure what drops where. You seem to get an engram once per day for Gambit, but I get little else dropping.

I'm off all day, but won't have anything to do until tomorrow's reset. :(
 
I'm pretty sure prime engrams can drop anywhere, from powerful enemies or the crucible. I got one in Gambit yesterday and one from a public event.
 
I picked up the base game for $12 on clearance at Walmart. I know it's been cheaper before, but whatever. If I like it, I will grab the expansions. Excited to finally start. I am on X, btw.

The drop rate seems really bad on them. Now weekly challenges are bugged so those of us who did them again won't get anything at today's reset either.

I still get no exotics and only get duplicate grenade launchers with useless perks (Edge Transit).

I'm really shocked players are loving it and aren't angry at the artificial time gating of rewards.

:laugh: I feel you on the Edge Transit. I think I have had that drop about 10 times.

I'm fine with the low exotic drop rate though. I always think the high tier weapons in loot games should be ultra rare. Makes seeing it drop that much more rewarding.

Yeah, there's a balance. Hopefully RNG will favor me again. Just been playing all weekend and Monday (day off) and basically got nothing.

Honestly I wish they would just publish their percentages. Rainbow Six Siege has a system where after a match you have a small % chance of a cosmetic package dropping. Now they show you your chance and how it increases every time you play. Sure, there's like a 5% chance of a drop, but at least they are transparent with it.

Of course now that I complain, I'll get a ton of good drops again after the reset. :)
 
Went up against a team in Gambit that were all rockin' Sleeper Simulant's. It was a terrible match. That gun destroys in Gambit, add it with the wallhacks the invader gets and you don't need any skill to pretty much wipe out the other team.
 
I'm having a lot more buyers remorse now. The weekly quests that showed up over the weekend were bugged. If you did them, you get none this reset. So leveling up just got that much harder.

Also unlocking more than one subclass requires you to do the Blind Well which requires 9 people at lower levels, which means fighting to get 9 people together in the same instance, since the game doesn't really support that. Either that or sit around and hope someone carries you through it.

I understand bugs happen but they don't even respond to it other than on twitter saying "maybe don't do the bugged challenges when they come up"

Funny they say that. But then they let all the people who glitched into the raid area keep the gear they shouldnt have, makes zero sense.
 
I've still got to do crucible kills to get the Ace. I really dread going into PVP in this game. It is slightly better with the weapon slot changes, but still far too many people camping with longer range weapons.
 
Got the ace very nice HC and I love the visual smoke it emits when the perk is primed. Unfortunately I also love the midnight coup and keep the exotic slot for whisper.

The current drop rate is f***ing dumb. Especially when you consider all the previous exotics are in the loot table. s*** needs buffing.
 
Forsaken loot system is dumb as f***. Random rolls with bno specfic thing to grind out for the roll you want. Most gear is just random and can ve a mix of everything.

Even worse, the only loot you can grind a specific thing for has static f***ing rolls. WTF!

Strikes are still pointless and still don't have specific loot.

The lack of new weapons and especially exotics ones is massively disappointing too.

I'm shocked that the people of Reddit are so high on it. It feels like a cheap way to make the grind longer. Drops are super rare plus there's tons of duplicates. I've gotten 2 exotic engrams and both were just year 1 duplicate items.

Instead of making me want to grind more, it makes me want to go play something else and wait for them to fix the drop rates.

The whole thing with the subclasses kind of sucks too. I don't think people even know how to get the 3rd subclass yet.

It feels cheap instead of challenging. People who play a ton more than me aren't doing hardly any better.
 
I'm loving it. The sleeper simulant has soured me on Gambit a little bit. But I'm having a blast with the game.
 
I've seen Titans using bubbles to counter the sleeper spam a bit. I haven't been playing Gambit as much as I'm still grinding those PVP handcannon kills. You'd think getting 25 precision kills would be easy but of course I miss the head by a tiny bit or have someone steal my kill with a shotgun or something.

I wonder if Xur is going to sell some new exotics today.
 
Had a 16 guardian kill gambit game! Invaded with scout with rampage perk wiped the team 3 times. Loving the gambit more then crucible right now.
