    Also drops are harder to come by in retail over beta. I know because in beta I had full green gear without trying, in retail haven't seen a blue drop yet.

    makes sense, but still!

    So last night I set an alarm for midnight...yeah short story here: I shut it off and never actually woke up. So I woke up this morning and got about 30 minutes in then took my Vita with me to work. By the way, remote play works great. Being able to grind stuff out on my lunch breaks will probably go a long way. The only complaint I have is the Vita's joysticks, but they're functional. I just wouldn't do any PVP or strikes on it.

    So I'm level 5 now and planning to do the first strike tonight. So so good.

    Yeah the vanguard weapons despite being green actually seem to have lower attack than even their white equivs. But they look sweet.

    I hit up the Vanguard Armory at level 11 (expecting the gear to be crummy, like 50ish attack) and found that the weapons had 106 attack. Are they scaling with my level, or are there two tiers, or what? The 106 attack primary was better than the 91 I had, so I bought it. Also seemed more in line with my auto rifle preferences (lower rate of fire, higher impact).

    I said it earlier but I believe it levels on the 5's, because when I was level 3 the guns were rank 5, but I haven't checked again since I hit 8 I figure they are probably rank 10.

    It can still 1shot stuff with headshots (playing level 8s stuff) but I need to be able to put more bullets out. Really noticed how slow I was killing when I did a strike and had a horrendously low kill count compared to the other players, lol.

Or if you are, rez a mohawked sister when she gets dropped LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO YOU ASSHOLE!

    Just cleared all of the Moon missions with a few folks - thanks to OptimusZed for bailing us out when we couldn't beat one particular boss on Hard with two people.

    Was planning on jumping into the Moon strike at level 11-12, but from what I've read, I'll probably hit up Venus tonight and come back for the Moon strike later. Now: clan management time.
    Always happy to help.

    On a related note: The Vex are bullshit. That is all.

    Seemed like a ton of Playstation gamers though in line who were blind buying and really had no Bungie experience (doubt they played Oni or Myth...)

    Also i was shocked at how many people were walking out of the EB with the destiny PS4 bundle, I saw probably 50 of them, insane. (Also the box that thing comes in is TINY, how is there a whole PS4 in there?!)

    I admit I know jack-all about this game and I am thinking of blind buying. Why? I'm tired of my PS4 gathering dust.

  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    Well I could see blind buying destiny for a new console, I couldn't see blind buying a new console and destiny though, that seems presumptive.

    Correct. If you don't start with the Trojan, you end up only being able to play video games after 8pm.

    One thing I really like is that your gear drops are always level appropriate, no matter what mission you're in. Obviously a lot less likely to get greens, but I like being able to jump in to a mission with some level 2's and still get a level 6 chest piece for myself out of it.

    Hit level 8, and just finished Earth missions (minus the Strike). On to the Devil's Lair and the Moon later tonight!

    I have to thank @Marikir‌ for reviving me about a dozen times last night. I pretty much when in and was like "Hey, hows the weat...blam! Could you revive me?"

    I did one more mission after he left and my precision kills to total kills was 50% at one point. And I was one fucking kill from getting the 100 kills bounty without dying and that one invisible asshole come up from behind and ganked me.

    UPS doesn't normally deliver here until very late in the evening, so there's still hope.

    But damnit, it better get here. There will be blood otherwise!

    Haha I did this exact thing earlier today.

    On my Vita.

    I was at like 90 dudes and the spider tank dropped and I was just like "Whelp, I can't just run away from it." Luckily managed to kill his spawns to get to 100 before he killed me.

    I bought this more as a thing to get for my starved-for-games PS4 than genuine excitement for the game itself, but man I'm loving these moon missions. I kind of wish that the PvP multiplayer stuff felt a bit more balanced, that AoE slam down just sort of ruins capture point holding in general, but the PvE is crazy fun.

  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    I'd say yes and no, all three classes can in theory blow up a point, but you don't get super like candy, and from my experience with control people don't frequently bunch up on points.
