It doesn't have 510 attack power... I think that is a hangover from the beta as the pic loaded is from a google search rather than from my loadout! Everything else is the same though, except that. It is more potent than my exotic weapons, but only 248 attack power at present. Max of 300 I think. Still crap PvP smile

As for loading pics, I found "my" gun on the web and then put the url between [ img ] [ / imag ] brackets (no spaces though).

Should be on shortly if anyone is up for the daily.

Looking at some of those weapons I am due a few upgrades.

Talking about weapons, I'm a bit disappointed with the exotics so far. Suros Regime (the auto rifle) is about the only one I can see myself using long term. My legendaries are better than the alternative exotics at the moment. frown

Anyway, we're going to need a bigger vault...

How the flip did you manage to accumulate so many exotic & legendary weapons? I haven't got a single one for either character frown

Did the daily heroic and a tiger strike with Lovechild today and got a legendary engram for the first time, woo hoo! Decoded to a bit of chest armour that I didn't need because I'd spent my vanguard marks buying a piece only a couple of days ago, doh!

Luck of the RNG I guess

Better bring your "A" game, guys - that's not even all of them and I have my own fireteam standing behind the door! hehe



Suffice to say that I've spent a lot of time playing the game. wink

Seriously though - the Nightfall is very good for dropping legendary/exotic weapons, I've done it 4x this week with various people and seen it drop 4 exotics and 3 legendaries. Guvernator got a very nice exotic Hand Cannon (The Last Word) when we did it tonight. cool

You need serious firepower to beat that mission though.

Well im starting to lose a little love in this game now. The lack of matchmaking for the daily strikes and heroics is none existent so im fecked there as are many other players, i cant see me getting far beyond level 20!

The pvp is shocking too, getting one shoted before you can react is the norm or some untouchable class one shoting you with a melee! Im used to battlefield 4

Just started up my Boomerang rentals account and thrown a load of games on my list to rent.... interested to see what this call of duty will be like too

I have a lvl 22 warlock that needs levelling up a bit so, I'd be happy to do some bits and pieces with you. Not sure I fancy the weekly heroic strike with only lvl 22 armour though - even at lvl 28 I was getting 2 shot killed last night!

Make sure you send as many friend requests to the list as possible and then invite folk to your fire team when you want to have a go at the Daily and Weekly challenges (especially youngsyr because he's always online biggrin). And likewise, you're more than welcome to join my fire team if there is space available. I'd just recommend you have a mic as it makes coordinating actions much easier.

I'm more than happy to help carry lower level characters through the harder strikes to help level them up more quickly. If your character is a low level, don't be surprised if we just need you to hang back and stay alive in order for us to make use of some characters abilities to revive themselves indefinitely. I did this with youngsyr on one of the Nightfalls, I think my kill count was 2 or 3 and his was over 100, but I still got a ton of rewards for being there at the end.

Managed to complete the daily on level 28 solo last night pretty easily which I thought was pretty good but then jumped into a game with Youngsvr and Kryptonkid to have a crack at the Nightfall which was even better.

It was tough going and it took us a few tries (didn't realise you had to go right back to the beginning if you all died on that one) but we managed it in the end with some great team work.

To be fair Youngsvr was carrying us for most of the game. Not sure what gun you were using Youngsvr but it just seemed to rip through those Praetorians like butter. The best bit was I ended up with an exotic weapon drop which is my first exotic drop ever. A nice hand cannon called the Last Word. However having looked at the stats I am a bit disappointed in that the attack power is very similar to a legendary cannon I already have. I was hoping the exotic weapons would be a bit more..errr...exotic. Oh well can't complain and hopefully the upgrade perks will make it useful.

There isn't any issue with joining people who are just faffing around by themselves either on missions or on patrol. Same goes for inviting people. If I am not in the crucible, I usually spend my time on patrol collecting what I need to upgrade my weapons but if anybody ever joined, I'd stop to take on a strike or try the daily. Equally, if I've already started a daily/weekly solo, I am more than happy for people to join.

If I wasn't, I'd set my fireteam to fully private or invite only. It is just decent etiquette.

I think you joined me for a split second on Venus and then disappeared! Would have happily jumped in to help with whatever you need. I'm finally a lvl 28 now! :-)

Might start my warlock soon though. smile

Would quite like to try the Vault of Glass for the first time this weekend, if anyone else is planning it. Maybe we can come up with a time on here.

27 Hunter with a couple of decent void weapons.

Cheers for the offers guys really appreciate it, i don't really want to drop you down to my level though!

I do have a mic and can offer a lot of northern swearing... I have tried to join people in the past but im just at a low level at the moment so either don't want to intrude or i cant due to being level 20 smash im in limbo between the leveling and the harder stuff at level 22-24 at the moment

A way to chat to local people/ people at the tower was implemented so people could look for groups that way that would be fine, a know their are a lot of people moaning about this and its not just me hehe

Definitely up for that - got a decent void fusion and HMG (not legendary decent but, rare and upgraded decent) and a couple of legendary primary weapons. I work on Saturdays but, evening should be ok. Anytime Sunday after about 11am is good for me too.

Raid virgin btw so, will have no clue what to do!! smile

To be honest it shouldn't take you too long to go from level 20 to 25, I think I did it in a week. Just keep playing crucible, do the dailies, weeklies at the highest level you can manage and spend 30 minutes or so each session farming materials and it's easily done. It's level 25 upwards which is the REAL slog!
