Just participated in a random Raid for 5 hours. Got to the part where we had to hold the plates while two of us went in for the Gatekeeper. Average level was 26. Tough, exhausting but definitely doable with some better gear and maybe an extra level.

There will be plenty of lore and more things to do in the future.

Then I will look at it again in the future, but the issue with banking on the "But don't worry, it'll get better!" mantra is that by the time it is better there could be a better game that does what Destiny might eventually do. And now they're in a race against that game. If you have no early hook, you can easily end up missing the boat. Their release was good, but a 78% drop in sales from week one to week two (in the UK, mind you) is a pretty good indicator that the negative reviews have stopped this game from being a run away hit that could have an easy player base to draw from for DLC purchases, as opposed to hoping to draw them in later at a more difficult time.

HA! That loot cave is hilarious. Went from lvl 15 to 20 in just over an hour last night.

The one thing really bugging me is the legendary engrams. It is so frustrating to get a legendary or exotic item and have it be from a different class. Not only because you can't use it on your own guy, but because it's completely useless. I can't put it in my vault and put it on a different class, I can't give it to a friend, I can't sell it for a high amount to another player. All I can do is break it down for a little bit of glimmer and parts. Boring.

Why can't you put it in your vault?

Do items in my vault carry over to other characters?

Yes, you only have one vault that any character you create has access too

Ah. Well I have less to bitch about then lol.

But it still sucks when you only have one level 20 character and get something for a different class.

Those legendaries aren't just a "few parts". Dismantling them gives you shards, which are the hardest material to come by, and are what all legendary/exotic gear require to be upgraded.

Getting legendary gear that isn't for your class is a good thing, dismantle immediately!

This weeks level 28 Weekly Nightmare is really easy so make sure you do it. The sooner you do it in the week the better as you get a reputation bonus of 20% until next week. Even though I was unlucky and got as a reward a Legendary Engram which turned out to be a blue it was worth it. If you get incredibly lucky you might get 12 Ascendant Shards as a reward!

I could desperately use 12 shards. I have 3 legendary upgrades waiting for me to complete but don't have the shards.

If I was anywhere near lvl 28 I definitely would do it

Default Destiny - Coming Sept.9

I've got all of my legendary gear fully upgraded, all I have left to do are two more for my exotic helm, then I'm fully loaded and need to focus on my weapons. Should note that I don't think those final two upgrades get me to 30. Best I'll do is 29.

So there's gotta be better gear out there somewhere.

The types that mentioned are Solar(Orange)/Arc(Blue)/Void(Purple). These are used to break shields on certain types of enemies. When you fire at them you simply have to match the same type that the shield is to get increased effectiveness in breaking the shields.

There is another type Kinetic (White) that you might encounter which is your primary weapon.
