Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Right, quick question. Got an exotic bounty again.

What would you recommend? The Pocket Infinity or Super Good Advice, will do either as no crucible stuff involved.

Don't go for SGA, from what I heard it's terrible. Pocket Infinity is better
 
Gone for Pocket Infinity, I'll be farming materials to level my guns so invite when ready for raid. Need some gloves or leg armour as completely maxed out on my current armour.
 
So how do you guys normally complete hard mode then? Carried by pug?
 
@Anustart89 I'll do a couple of missions with you. Game is quite repetitive but pretty straightforward, just go through the story until you get stronger and are at a higher level. Do bounties and stuff too from the tower which helps.
 
And when you go through the story and find stronger weapons/armour goes without saying to equip when possible, and as soon as you hit level 15, change your subclass to sunsinger. That's a must.
 
So by way of comparison, for the Invective bounty, I completed in less than 3 full games (i completed about halfway through the 4th and was disconnected from another) despite my best k/d ratio being about 1.1. For the Thorn bounty I just played my first game and got 17 kills with a ratio of 1.47, and I'm at 39 of 500. :(

I did atheon with @PlayerOne earlier this 'Destiny week' along with some extras he found. I think we had four level 30s though (funnily enough all hunters, which made me wonder whether hunter raid gear has a higher chance of dropping!)

So you reckon it's not worth trying until we get more 30s?
 
With you being the level you are Makki I don't think there'll be many bounties there for you apart from maybe the 100 precision kills, 100 normal kills and 30 melee kills. I'd recommend giving them a shot if so before you go further in the story as once you start to get to the end of Earth, you need that bit more EXP.
 
Anything else you'd like to know let me know here as the PSN chat updates quite slow for me still. Only found out about you not knowing how to dance after you worked it out yourself! Up is wave, left is point, right is dance, down is sit.
Alright, will do. I'm a bit lost here, but as long as you're in my party I can just launch a mission and you'll automatically pop into my game? Do you guys usually mic up and party chat or anything?

Some mic up, some don't. But yeah as long as I'm in your fireteam I'll be in your games. All you have to do really is follow the arrow in the minimap in top left (follow me for this mission and I'll show you for example)
 
When are planning on starting, not sure whether to do another strike or not
 
So you reckon it's not worth trying until we get more 30s?
Well personally I'd rather do the oracle/templar cheeses with alts as it's two drops that we should be able to do pretty easily. We could try the gatekeeper/atheon fights after, provided we have time and still have the checkpoint.
 
I'll do some more with you later Makki. A lot of the game is like that though, you get an objective, you've got to go to point X, ghost does Y and kill boss Z (I used the rocket launcher on the boss in that one so it ended pretty fast)
 
So you reckon it's not worth trying until we get more 30s?

A 29 will have almost a 40% decrease in damage dealt to level 30s. Getting to 30 removes the reduction

So for every 30 we have, the easier it should be in terms of taking boss health down

That or a fully levelled Gjalahorn

Thanks for the help, Damo. Yeah I'll just get grinding and see how far I get. Yeah, I saw that. As long as I get the XP boosts you're free to do that more times if you wish, haha.

:D for the most part I tried to be pretty passive so you could get a feel of it rather than just being handheld throughout. Experiences with the thralls are always fun...

Yeah, I was wondering if you were deliberately standing back at times so I could get the kill XP rather than you taking it :lol:

Well fcuking hurry up and get to 30 then! :D
 
Come on, we are waiting on our team of ultimate bad asses.
