[McTwerk]

I can't get to vanguard mark 2 for shyt.

Been grinding like shyt

Did like 6 bounties and 3 strikes yesterday I'm still 500 behind

I should have never switched to dead orbit

Just got to level 25 need 2 shards to fully upgrade my legendary chest piece


fukk this game

I'm terrible at PVP so my chances of getting shards are

Look for public events, easiest way to get shards outside of the raid.

Well first you were saying that the Devs were listening to complaints and doing things based on the masses of the complaining internet (which can be overwhelming with a release of this size). So which is it ? Are the Devs making people play the game they want they (the devs) want it to be played or are they catering to the internet

This is an interesting conversation because on one side I can see what you're saying. The Devs are making folks hop from one foot to the next for seemingly no reason other than the fact that we're doing things that they didn't have in mind when they created the game. I get that. There are two sides to this coin though. Are they limiting option A to force players to use option B? or are they giving those that enjoy using option B as much of a fighting chance as option A has?

If I were a Dev I would be thinking Balance = Longevity. As soon as one particular method of combat becomes identified as the absolute best and it has nothing to do with skill or talent, you have a problem. Everyone will flock to that and quickly become bored with it. Forcing you to make a decision about what gun you should use for what map or scenario isn't the same as forcing you to do other shyt simply for the sake of. Its saying "the smarter guy is going to have an edge here, but the more talented guy can still win based off of skill alone"

Is this not how it should be? Or did I miss your point entirely?

it's a combination of both...the people complaining about how people are playing (auto rifles) goes hand in hand with what the devs see/how/dictate how they think the game should be played (use everything we created not just auto rifles)....i refer back to me3 cause that's exactly what went on....people complained about the use of a certain gun/character, bioware would look at the data and make changes to said gun/character, while at the same time saying 'hey, try using this instead...it's pretty cool too' and steering people to that thing....

i understand and get what you're asking with are they limiting one group or just giving another group a fair chance....it breaks down like this to me:

i disagree with nerfing things to make other options look good because there will always be 1 thing preferred over another...people tend to gravitate to whatever is the easiest to use, the most powerful, the most efficient, etc...when changes are made to that 1, they just move on to the next thing....and the cycle continues until either all the things arent fun to use/the game isnt fun anymore or they end up back at the 1st thing being the best again, but it sucks now...

as for balance: balance to means to me that every option in the game can get the job done....some may make the job easier/harder, but everything can accomplish the job.....when something cant accomplish the job, then it needs to be addressed, but that doesnt mean make other options weaker....

from what i've seen online, when a lot of people ask for 'balance', what they're asking for is everything to work/behave the same with different skins....which is bullshyt cause there will never be complete across the board 'everything is equal' balance in games...everything will not work the same...and if it did that would be boring as hell....also, hurt egos plays a part in request for balancing.....people normally crying for it are just upset that some 'noob' is beating them, so that must mean whatever that person is using is op/broken; but that's another topic altogether...

anyway, to summarize: some things will be easy/hard to use compared to others, some things will be better/worse compared to others, etc....as long as all the options can get the job done, i'm good...

Honestly my dude, I think it's random.
What I did last night was look for a public event because I needed an ascendant shard to upgrade my exotic helmet all the way.
After I got the shard I headed back to the tower and took some Bounties. (I usually go for the ones with 5000xp)
Decided to do the Strike Playlist on level 24. I did 3 Strikes, went back to the tower, and turned in a bunch of Engrams to the Cryptarch(I'm sitting at Level 21, now). I went to to the Moon and did a Bounty. In the process, I'm knocking out some of my other Bounties.
Left there and did the daily Heroic on 28. Left that and did the weekly heroic strike on 28, also.
Knocked out a couple more of my bounties while doing that. Ended up helping my boy that helped me with the Weekly Heroic do one of his missions. Afterwards, he bounces and I head back to the tower to turn in my Bounties. that's when the Exotic Bounty popped up.

i do all the shyt you named, but i keep getting the same exotic bounties...i know it's random, just thought i could trigger it to give me something different...oh well, it's cool...i'm a lucky guy, i'll get the others sooner or later....

 

[lutha]

Same 3 Bounties?

the ones for the thorn, bad juju, and invective....i already have all 3 weapons, but i keep getting those same bounties....got another 1 last night....i think i'm pick one and complete it again, to see if that triggers the next ones....

You know what I did?
I ended up starting the Thorn one, but after finding out about the void kills in The Crucible, I ended up abandoning it. Lol!
Maybe the game was like, "This nikka don't want that Thorn. Let's give him something else"
I'm going to try that again. Take it, do the first Bounty for it, then abandon to see what other option comes in next time.

 

[Deezay]

I took it off breh fukk that bytch nikka.

My heart was crush I had a legendary engram and it was a fukking legendary titan mark


fukk this game

Another trick is to break down legendary gear to get Ascendant Shards(Helmets, Gauntlets and Boots)

figure that's what i'll do...probably do the bad juju one...i'll do through the 25 strikes (need vanguard marks anyway) and then stop...hopefully that'll trigger the next set...

 

[lutha]

same here fam. the stealth knights or whatever they are would 1 hit kill me every time.

look at the post i did quoting what he said...that's an easy way to get pass that part if you soloing....

preciate it

 

[lutha]

this game has been fun as hell so far to me...i'm having a ball....i figure next thing i'm do is continue to level up my other characters, so they can start helping level up weapons...right now, my warlock has carried the workload in that dept...which is cool, cause it's given me experience with a lot of the different guns, which has helped me determine which character gets what...the names also help...ex: my hunter getting the 'strange suspect' cause that muthafukka look a lil strange lol...

 

[lutha]

oh yea, @Centipede : you dont have to get void kills for the thorn one, you just have to do void damage....it's easy as shyt if you got a void weapon and/or voidwalker warlock...i equipped my warlock with a void fusion rifle and rocket launcher, and he got busy...took like 8 games (got an avg of 50-70 pts a game towards that bounty)

You can buy Legendary stuff and then dismantle it for Shards
