2014 December 02 update

Oh what the fuck. I see that there are now many more updates waiting for the release of The Darkness Below. But some of this is crap.

I was very happily spending my time gathering materials to sell to the Crucible Quartermaster in exchange for a pittance of XP and Crucible Marks. That was getting me along just fine. About 40% on my way to level 2 and being able to get the Marks I needed to buy my gear from Dead Orbit. Now it has changed? What the fuck? That is a huge change to throw out this late in the game. That was the only way I could keep going and keep up with some of the people who are even simply mediocre in the Crucible and thus better than me. Now I will have to endure battle after battle in the Crucible to attempt earning marks to buy gear from any of the factions. So if this is going to stand, then the Factions need to accept Vanguard marks as well. This is just so fucked. The Factions do not actually matter in the Crucible. You can wear the mark of NONE in the Crucible and still do well. The solar system and the tower are where the Factions matter.

It is also seeming that the story line is starting to take a back road. Why else are these three different groups in the tower needing to give us missions and have us rank up. Not just so we can fight one another in simulated combat. There is a purpose behind each of them. And if what they are doing is not going to affect the game at all, then what the hell?

All things being equal, I am sure that there is a balance between the gear to be bought from The Vanguard, The Crucible, and The Factions. Each of those 5 dealers have weapons that are more to taste rather than actually better or worse than the others. And I have found shit from all 5 in random drops. Those have been real treasures. Hell, I have two different variants on the rocket launcher "The Unfriendly Giant". I also got two variants of another launcher and I decided to dismantle one for it's Ascendant pieces.

But are there really some people so involved in The Crucible that they cannot dare ever go to the Patrol zones to collect materials? Is it so necessary that they be available for sale using Marks? These are so abundant that if anything they should only cost Glimmer.

Bungie, you really made me happy with this game being released so I was no longer prisoner to 343's bullshit. Please, do not follow in their footsteps.

And bring back the queen's missions, damn it.

One Thousand Resources

Destiny

I worked all week. Each day collecting 50 or more of each resource and sticking it in the storage.
Today I finally got 250 of each of the 4 and took them to the Crucible Quartermaster.
I was paid 100 Crucible marks, the most you can get in a week. I got an achievement for that.
I earned almost half of my level 4 rep with The Future War Cult.
The last 4 (maybe 5) transactions I made each earned me a mote of light in addition to the Rep and marks.
When I was done I had so much XP on my weapons and armor I now have to go get a shit ton of resources again to put them together.
It may be strenuous, but this is definitely the preffered way for me to get my Crucible marks and level. Damn, I wish I had not had my FWC band on, all that Rep would have gone to Crucible. Se la vi.

Disturb the Remains

Destiny
In the Cosmodrome I found a cave near the old farming cave, outside the Grotto where the Fallen and Hive are always battling.
I found in there a stack of burnt bodies. I cannot tell what they are, or were. But when I approached the option "X: Disturb the Remains" appeared. What they said to me in deathly cold voices were "A million deaths are not enough for Master Rahoul". What has the Cryptarch done? And what were they? Hive, Fallen, or Human?

Toland's Journal [Fragmented]

Exotic Weapon Bounty
Not sure what weapon this is for yet.

First stage was to complete a Weekly Heroic Strike. Which was a bitch and then some, but good, Thank you Preacher.

Now it is a journal I must bring to Ikora.
"The Journals of Toland have been sought after by the Warlocks in the Tower for many generations."

Stage 2: Track down the fragments of Toland's Journal by completing Strikes on any Destination."
"Toland obsessed over the power of the Traveler - and the secrets of the Darkness. His quest took him into enemy strongholds throughout the Inner Solar System. Search for more fragments there."

2014 11 10
Just got those 25 locked in. Now for the next part.

Stage 3: Ikora Rey tells me "This Journal is encrypted with a formidable cipher that demands the attention of a senior Warlock and her Ghost."
Toland's Journal [Decrypted]
Exotic Weapon Bounty
Bring the Journal to the Gunsmith.
"Among other secrets, this journal contains the pattern of a weapon forged in Toland's madness. The Gunsmith may be able to make use of it."
"Be cautious, Guardian. Toland was banished for good reason."

Banshee tells me:
"The notorious Toland? Let me take a look."
Hand it in.

The Journal is now a
Black Market Coupon
Exotic Weapon Bounty
Obtain a darkness infused weapon frame from Xur.
"If you want to go through with this, I hope you are stronger than Toland. bringe ma a Darkness-marked weapon frame from Xur."
"Take this coupon to him. No doubt he'll still expect some payment for his trouble."
"I'll send the Journal back to Ikora Rey, so it can be... contained."

Fuck, now I have to wait until Friday.

20141114
Friday
From Xur for 1 exotic coin.
Darkness-Infused Weapon Frame
Exotic Weapon Bounty
Bring the weapon frame to the Gunsmith
"Whenever you hold the weapon, your Ghost begins to look... delcious. It's probably best to bring this to the Gunsmith as soon as possible."

Yeah, I am not eating Peter Dinklage for any reason. I saw the things he did in BOTH "Death at a Funeral", "Nip / Tuck" and "Game of Thrones". He is safe. Onward with this excruciating quest for another exotic weapon.

Darkness-Infused Pulse Rifle
Exotic Weapon Bounty
Defeat Guardians in the Crucible.
0 of 10,000 completed
"The Darkness must be set in conflict with the Traveler's Light. Bathe this weapon with the energies of Guardians in the Crucible. Warlocks in particular.
Return to me when you are done."

Oh what the fuck. Well, unlike the pistol, this does not say I will be deducted for loosing. I will try this. If it is a matter of a few points per kill, I will muddle through some how. All things being equal, this has to be a weapon at least as good as my other two.

20141124
Completed the 10,000 the task wanted of me. It was something in the range of crucible points earned. It was an interesting experience. Thankfully I did not loose points for dying.

Sated Pulse Rifle
Exotic Weapon Bounty
Return the weapon to the Gunsmith.
"Dark energies seep from the barrel of the rifle. It is ready to be born. Return to the Gunsmith."

Why does it read "the Gunsmith". If they are not going to call him by his name, Banshee, it should read "The Gunsmith."

I now have the Bad Juju
Fitting for a Warlock, no?
The look is like a raptor.

Even though I do occasionally have trouble with this one, mostly for being  stupid, Perhaps this one should be scaled by level. When I was level 4 it was much harder than now when I am knocking at 30. Then again, the rewards are no longer as impressive. 2500 xp above the 9k doesn't get me much and the 50 rep is not doing so much to help me. Still, a thought.

Dislike of PVP

Is it wrong that I don't like Player vs Player action in games? Does it mean that I am not as good as most others? Most likely. But I paid my money for this game and I have every right to participate in it.

I cannot say I am happy for those who do great in PVP and get to show off for it. I don't see that and feel warm inside. I don't smile for them. But when stuff in the campaign starts to depend on the muliplayer, I start do feel discriminated against.

In Halo it was not so bad. You can look at ribbons and achievements and see who is best in what. Here in Destiny, the Crucible is an integral part to get what you need for the story. All the clans and all the special events are built around the Crucible. I did not buy this for a new forum to compete against other people. I bought this for a story I can be part of. I want to see what the writers and animators have come up with for us to be part of. But now I have to live through the multiplayer and even excel at it in order to make good on what I have found in the campaign.

A Light in the Dark

Destiny Exotic Weapon Bounty

Step 1: Complete "The Summoning Pits" Strike on the Moon.

"The Weapons of Sorry were born from forbidden use of the Hive's dark power. We thought them eradicated. But recent developments suggest on of these weapons may still exist in the Hive's Summoning Pits."

Completed Step 1. Fucked up that big ugly on the moon. And it looks like both of the people I was with on this mission had the same weapon they were going after.

Depleted Hand Cannon
Step 2: Harvest the energies of Hive on the Moon to activate the weapon.
Need 500 Hive kills. Level necessary, unknown.

"The weapon seems dead... but hungry. The lingering energies of the Hive you've recently defeated seep into the weapon. Perhaps it could be further empowered..."

Step 3: Use Void Damage to defeat Guardians in the Crucible. Death will slow your progress.
Need 500 kills.

"The hand cannon seethes with the dark energies of the Hive you've defeated. It seems... eager for more power. Go to the Crucible and allow the weapon to feast off the Light of defeated Guardians."

This is some BULL SHIT. I don't like the Crucible, I don't want to compete in the Crucible. And with the speed I die at, this will take quite a while to complete. Fuck me running.

6 kills and 12 deaths got me 11 of 500 progress with this part. May not be that terrible. Still NOT what I want to do. But much easier than Ikara's quest.
I got up to 32 and now down to 25. So it is possible for it to remain incomplete. But I am working on it.
Yep, now it is down to 15 after a total of 5 Rumble matches.

Returning the Ghost to the Speaker got me an exotic fusion rifle schematic. I must take this to the gunsmith. See what all he wants me to do. Something about taking apart 10 rare fusion rifles.

Luck was on my side, the gunsmith finally had the weapon I needed for 1600 glimmer each. So I bought them and dismantled them until I had what I needed.
I gave him back the weapon and now I need to kill people in the Weekly Nightfall Mission until it "stabilizes".
So I need 200 kills with Fusion Rifle. But not just any kills, in the Weekly Nightfall Mission. And not just any place; In "The Shit", or The Darkness Zone. Have to be IN THE DARKNESS before the kills count. So I am up to 31. I'll go do more later.

200 kills in the shit complete.

Stabilized Prototype: Return the Prototype to the Gunsmith.
"The weapon is nearly ready. bring the Prototype to the Gunsmith to detach the sensor.":

Returned and got the new Fusion Rifle. Not terrible. Also got me a package with Kadi 55-30. Lets see what it is...

Destiny Weapon Stats

In Halo armor was just a skin and weapons were universal. Here in Destiny we have my favorite level of game involvement, upgrading equipment and coordination of tools.

However, now I want to know what I am really doing with all of my stuff. Do I sacrifice some impact with my auto rifle if the attack rating is better? Will I get more damage per second with my scout rifle even though it is much slower?

I am starting to do some research. All in all, I am a calculus student, I'd like to see the equations for me shooting a Fallen, a Vex, or (especially) another player. But for the time being, I am looking around at what other people are saying.

Here are two good entries that I am recommending to my other friends and will be looking over more of the comments and other posts. If you care to do your own research, here you go.

Ikora Part 2

A Request From Ikora Part 2
Exotic Weapon Bounty
Earn a Kills/Death spread of 25 in the Crucible.
Rewards: Unknown
"I know the Crucible is unforgiving - but that's why it's valuable. Show me that you don't spend all your time as a pool of particles waiting to be reassembled by your Ghost."

Oh fuck me crooked. The Game I won the other day is about the best that I think I can ever do, that was a total fucking fluke. I actually do not know how long this damn thing is going to spend in my inventory. And I further wonder how many times I have to do it. The meter reads "0 of 25 Completed". This is going to take some time. The weapon had better be fucking amazing.

20141003 I am abandoning this bounty. I am not a player for PvP. I don't do well at it and I don't like it. 10 has been my best spread in here so far. I get my crucible marks by turning in collected materials. I am sure this will eventually lead to a great weapon, but I am going to pass on it. This is the second such bounty I have encountered, I am sure there will be more.

20140928 - I have been hanging out in The Divide on Earth. Killed 3 there, got credit for 1. I went after Sivik Prime twice, killed the one guarding him. No credit. The Ember Caves of Venus, killed one, got no credit. What in the hell? I am going to try one more tonight. If I don't get it I am going to abandon this mission.
OK, finally got it in The Divide. I tried the Strike again, but as I had already died and fucked up my other mission, I did not count that as my "one more time" I got this done. :)

I do not like to abandon bounties and missions, but today the queens stuff came out and I do not know how long it will be there, so I dropped these to make room.

Got a schematic for a long lost jump ship. Happy boy.
All I had to do was give Holliday the blueprints and she made the ship for me. It is bronze and awesome.
