XB1 Destiny Clan/Strike Team thread

Not digging the "expansion"?

For ME the exp broke the game. More new materials. More farming. Probably wont even play the Wolves that I already paid for.

Vault was awesome but now there is not much reason to do it other than farming for Ascendant Shards. So unless that can balance that stuff out I am done. Playing Diablo 3UE so I can TRADE and GIFT items with friends with much less loading times and grinding.
 
I think it's worth $40, I got my $60 worth out if it. Just be prepared to visit the same 4-5 places ad nauseam once you complete the campaign/reach lvl 20. The party system works surprisingly well in Destiny, I'll gladly game with you. The gameplay/gun play is top notch.
If it's still on sale this weekend I may pick it up then. The beta was kind of eh for me but what the hell.

I don't mind the grinding if there was more than a couple different scenarios and you didn't end up getting the same Strikes back to back.

I can see why Bungie never implemented trading or gifting though, it would essentially break the game, there wouldn't be anything to grind for.

Get your snake oil outta here!
 
I dont mind the extra materials. Being able to trade Energy to Shards with is fine and dont mind it. There was a thread on neogaf where Luke came out and said the extra materials was a bad idea, I wish it was the same for Ascendant shards/energy. I have so many Ascendant Energy I could level all my weapons again.

I would like to see the Vanguard Accommodations used to re-roll your legendary guns. I'm not amused that my VoC and other RAID guns wont be able to be re-rolled with higher damage. They still have a lot of use during the Weekly and Nightfall because of the elemental damage modifiers, but let me re-roll them. I dont mind re-grinding if it means higher damage output.

That's a good idea. The Commendation thing only lasts as long as it takes to get what you want. Ive got over 20 of each kind. They are worthless to me right now.

I know what you mean about Ascendant mats as well. I have almost 300 AE, and over 150 AS.
 
Ran the night fall this week with all 3 toons:

Titan: 12 strange coins
Warlock: 12 shards
Hunter: 12 strange coins

I got ONE legendary engram which turned into a VOID Secret Handshake which has the "full auto" perk.

I also ran the weekly with the Titan and the Warlock...I'm ready for Xur this weekend.
 
Friend just got an Xbox so we are going to be starting up on this game tonight.
 
Friend and I just got to level 22 and finished story mode so we're looking to join a clan in this game to do strikes and raids sometime soon. Anyone still play this?
 
Seriously though, the clan feature/in game support sucks ballz. It's only really good for the couple of cheevos that they have for being in a clan. Your whole Fireteam is of the same clan and beating the raid and strikes(?)
