I think I'd like off this train.
Saying that, this week has by far been the best week of Destiny for me where drops are concerned. Scurrying to finish my last NightFall mission of 3 on Monday Evening, the week began by giving me the Splinter Cell Hunter Helmet, highly coveted now more so that Xur Double Agent of 9 decided decided how much fun it would be to give everyone the 4-shot Golden Gun helmet I received after getting my ass kicked in my first ever NightFall: Summoning Pits.
As Tuesday rolled over, it was business as usual, the schedule of 3 Raids, 3 Nightfalls and 3 weekly heroics would greet me, but not before I get some Crucible in to warm up BOOM! First game granted me the Exotic Plan C Fusion Rifle. Being numb to the game and its bullshit drops and all that jazz, I take it in my stride without a lick of guilt:
Raid TIME
First Raid gives me nothing but a bread crumb trail of shards and energy up until the incredibly rare Atheon's Epilogue (energy disguised as a weapon drop) and the extraordinarily, hardly ever seen shader Chatterwhite that I am sure nobody has. Also, having a ship as an end-raid item drop is just insulting, because a free loading screen after the games hardest portion is exactly what I want. My Shard game is so strong right now, my Energy game is ok, but my shard game is pimp status.
Raid TWO
Holy SHAT! A goddamn Raid chest! FINALLY I can look like every other level 30 Hunter! Between Xur and the absurdity of Raid Gear being the only gear that nets you a level 30, the Tower is soon going to turn into a Twilight Zone of carbon-copy Guardians. I also found the Found Verdict for the twentieth time, it helped boost my energy game. The rest of the Raid was just shards shards shardsshardsshards shards shards. ERRYBODY
Raid 3 HARD MODE!
Did I mention I have 3 Hunters to increase my chances of getting a level 30 Hunter quicker? I do. After trying Hard Mode last week and only getting to the 1st chest, my friends and I banded together with our level 29 and level 30 Guardians and tackled it on Hard Mode. Hard Mode just requires more concentration and a lot more tact. It also requires that level 30 Guardians take point, even though it says the Raid is level 30, by the time you get to the end all the enemies have ascended to level 32.
To note, there is a significant damage boost between level 29 and level 30, lets just say you each get a triple threat of a Fanatic, a Goblin and a Hobgoblin bounding towards your conflux, lvl 29 panics and says 'shit' starts firing, level 30 says 'meh' and starts firing, eventually they have both emptied a clip and need to reload except the lvl 29 has only taken 1/3 of health from one enemy and the lvl 30 has moved on to the final third of his firing range. Huge difference.
The hardest part of the Hard Raid is the Templar, and the fact that if you die there is no respawning, you have to wipe and do the section again unless you're confident enough in your team that as each of you get picked off one by one by persistent HobGoblins that others can pick up the slack, unless you're all Warlocks, then I guess you'll be saving Sunsinger's ultimate ability of resurrect for a Raidy day (I'm not sorry).
This run would be my largest haul in Raid history:
Vex Mythoclast
Legendary Sparrow
HardLight
Raid Helmet
SHARDS SHARDS SHARDSSHARDSSHARDS SHARDS
Basically, everything that I wanted. :D
It was almost as if the game knew I would make my exit at level 30, everything just seemed to go my way
The Weekly coughed up its usual 27 Strange Coins, Nightfall coughed up 22 Ascendant Energy, I levelled up all my new gear and headed for the Crucible where the walls of Jericalling bullshit on that one reared its ugly head and I realised this is it.
I think I'd like off this train.
This has largely been my experience with Destiny
There are two rules to success:
___________________________________
1. Never tell all you know.
That was the most shocking thing about playing Planetside 2. There were all of these people, talking to each other, about what was happening in the game. And they like, knew what they were doing and stuff. It was really bizarre.
For example, I recently found a legendary machine gun that has almost maximum stability and high impact/range/rof with comically high levels of auto aim. Once I get heavy ammo (85 bullets per pack), it's pretty much impossible to kill me unless you have a super (and that's only if your lucky to get close enough). I just point it in the general direction and the gun does the rest, it practically locks on opponents and kills within 3 bullets (do the math).
I have actually found that Destiny is destroying my general FPS skills, after spending so many years with games like Halo and BF that reward intelligence, tactics and accuracy, this is a bit of a joke in comparison. It's like going from Streetfighter to Divekick!
I really expected Bungie to have a better handle on this stuff. I mean, there are RPG's that appear to handle PVP balance better. They should take a long hard look at the original Guild Wars.. and then make it an FPS.

I've beaten the Vault of Glass eight times now and gotten 3 weapons and 2 pieces of armor. Everything else was upgrade materials for weapons I do not possess. Meanwhile some people keep getting duplicates of the same weapons I'm trying to get. It's infuriating for everyone.
Netcode is really breaking down with the latest "stability patch". More lag, worse team matchmaking. But this game can be amazingly fun with a good team, or even people you like. My friends list is consistently playing Destiny daily despite its many, many faults because the core gameplay is fun. Just wish they'd do something to liven up the shell that gameplay is in.

Destiny is flawed brillance i love it.
useless crafting materials.
no story (well there is, but is like reading a novel but your only allowed 14 pages)
patrol missions are dull as fuck.
Pvp is a mess and unbalanced (every month a new gun type is king.. rendering all other useless, unless it's a pistol)
Raids are.. well coming off the back of WoW there more like dungeons than raids.
strikes are lacking anything of intrest, no secrets or backstorys or hidden quests (aside from thorn)
Matchmaking is fucking hilarious it just throws everyone in the same pot and just puts its hands in the air and goes "fuck it"
RNG is just such a.. well its a cunt.
vendors, these guys..single handidly ruin legendarys. There is no excitment in getting a legendary engram there is nothing there that we have not seen for sale, can you imagine in WoW if EVERY ITEM WAS FOR SALE IN THE SHOP!
Rahool..
reputation is so god damn useless, oo i get a free package every tick, what with anything exciting? No just the shit we sell..
shaders.. fuck shaders let me asign my OWN colours not piss yellow and baby shit green.
ships..or should we say a wallpaper for my fucking load screen, at least let me enter my ship on the load screen and see the grimoire cards and mount my really cool guns WHICH ARE SHIT! But look the bollox (yeah pocket infinity and dragons breath looking at you)
load screens..
grimoire cards, seriosly these things have some great storys. . But are not in the game
dinklebot.. i like him, fuck off.
"Expansion" aka dlc.. £20.00... i bought Halo MCC for that, brand new.
NO vanity slot.. why? Are you fucking stoned bungie? Everyone looks the fucking same dependant on level.
last but not least for now..No pet tigers.. yeah, i still recall those concept imgs of guardians with pet tigers.. i aint forgot that shit bungie :( i signed up for fucking tiger and i got a sparrow.
This aside, man i fucking love this game, if this game had content and lore that was accessible.. I'd be single.
