Destiny loot system

Doc. Nope auto rifle is awesome. It has a insane rate of fire and almost bottomless clip with 70 rounds. Mine has the perk of little recoil making headshots even easier so it basically melts enemies faces off. I messed with the Bad Seed Down pulse rifle and it seems cool and must be even better once I unlock the perk to go full auto.

I'm not sure if Bungie tweaked the drop rate but it sure does feel more generous lately.

My Hex Caster is slightly better than the Doc Nope I got. It has like 5 less in the clip, but it has better stability and the recoil reducing perk your Doc Nope has. My Hex is basically your Nope. I love the insane fire rate too, bottomless bullet hose :D

I pretty much played the entire game with Bad Seed Down. It was my first legendary drop. I love it and still use it.
 
my nephew sent me this picture which I thought summed up the loot drop pretty good, he had his best game ever and this is what happened, lol.

I've taken several photos like that too. It's completely ridiculous. Destiny seems to give you only loot that you don't need.

I'm in dire need of ascendant shards, but in the last week after playing a raid, several public events, and 5 lvl 28 heroic missions, all I've gotten is 5 shards, while accumulating over 30 ascendant energy that I don't need because I only have 2 legendary weapons.

Just makes me want to toss my controller. Whoever was in charge of the loot system, Campaign mission design (strike and raids are solid), and story should be fired. They did an appalling job on these 3 aspects.

Most other aspects of the game are excellent though.

Would be fine if we COULD TRADE with OTHER PLAYERS. Shiiiieeettt. Yeah. This part of Destiny is caca.

+1 for the trading ability. Bungie should make a marketplace where people could offer/trade materials weapons.
 
I think I've been on the "good side" of the loot system.

After I hit 20 I got Grimm Citizen, Epitaph Sniper Rifle, Light/Beware Fusion Rifld and a Rare Rocket Launcher.
Being a Titan Defender with that damage output and Defense from sub class it was very "easy mode" to finish the game and tear through Crucible (pre-AR nerf) and Strike list.

Didnt get a single rare armor drop tho till I got Monitor boots around 25. Have a TON of Warlock and Hunter rares tho lol.
Everything I got pretty much came from Crucible. Tons of Shaders also.

Finally just bought the Crucible armor when I hit rep 2.
 
I got an exotic weapon bounty and started the quest. The next string is get a kill/death ratio with 25 difference. GTFO. I've never even came close to that.
 
I didn't think Strikes would just give out a exotic weapon but it just did for me. Just went on to do a few missions and I got the Monte Carlo auto rifle, what a name, lol. I haven't tried it out yet but it looks really cool with some hefty damage right off the bat. Its main stat says it will decrease melee cooldown which means I could use the Sunsinger subclass to spam its shield, nice.

I had to do that yesterday, the best advice I can give is to not over think it, just do your thing. I was pressing too hard and worrying about dying and was doing terrible. I had much better games when I wasn't trying to get kills. Using your super helps a lot and from what I could tell assists count as well. Good luck, I finally did it but was stressing about that last kill, lol. The next part of the bounty is even harder for me, I have to do the weekly strike but I don't have any friends to help, I can get halfway to the summoning pit and then I get overwhelmed by flying witches, I guess I will have to wait until this weekend when my nephew is on to help me. I tried to get some guys who were wandering around the entrance to the mission to help last night by inviting them to my fire team but they did not accept.

I'll add you if your keen on some weeklys i want to try and get some good gear, i finally got a legendary piece yesterday, although it was just a hunter cloak still feels good to see some purple armor.
 
Picked up Patience and Time last night.

Are there exotic drops for gear?

Nice pick up

Yes to the question. I got an exotic armour piece for doing the nightfall mission.

You still around for the raid tomorrow? We're starting at 10pm GMT. Or planning to anyway

Sure that would be great, I am on most nights, sometimes I lag out of games or my chat drops out because of network conditions (1.5meg dsl) but it isn't too bad. I finally beat the weekly strike by myself last night just by being patient and killing the wizards one at a time from a distance. The invective shotgun I got is amazing, I was destroying people in the crucible with it being full auto and high damage.
 
If anyone wants to do the weekly strike tonight, invite me. I need to do it.

Damnit! I had choice to choose between invective or bad juju and I chose bad juju exotic bounty... partly because I don't really use shotguns and have a crapload of legendary shotguns.
 
I'm down. Me and MilkManX tried it the other night, GTFO with those fuq'ing wizards when your ghost has to unlock the door...
I made it to then end, but it was me and some level 24. He kept going all the way up top and dying.

You can cheese the last boss. Stay in the room before the room where the turret spawns. When the turret spawns enemies will Spawn too. Once it appears you retreat into the previous room and just wait 15 seconds. The turret and enemies will despawn. Run into the room and shoot the boss through the doorway. When the turret appears again, go back one room and wait until it disappears again. Rinse and repeat.
If you don't engage the turret, it will disappear faster.
 
I am luving my Raid Solar Scout rifle.

Ohh man, did you say Solar damage? I believe that’s the weakness of those blasted Wizards so that is awesome. I’d love a primary with some sort of elemental damage. Void damage is most requested to deal with those crazy Minotaurs and pesky Vexx.

I soloed the Heroic Strike last night and didn’t get much. But the Nightfall strike is also in the Summoning Pits so I should be able to solo that tonight and pray I get more juicy loot. I need some ascendant materials for armor/weapon upgrades.

Raid gear has elemental damage.

Another way I found that I like better is to free his chains and then jump over the rock ledge at the far left of the map, there is a little spot to hide in, he will come over that way and shoot at you but he can't hurt you, you just pop up and shoot him then hide. It is easier when you are alone because he will be chasing other players otherwise unless everyone stays over that way. I did it alone last night and he was ten times easier than the wizards.
