Hey folks!
I'm looking to get back into Destiny after a full year of not playing (I left before the first DLC hit). From everything I've heard, it seems like Bungie addressed a lot of the issues I had (not enough to do in the endgame, no loot to grind for, pvp not being fun).
Anyway, since it's been so long, I'm thinking about starting a new character from scratch. I've tried looking for some YouTube videos to help bring me up to speed, but I'm still a little bit confused. Are there any tips or a general guideline for me to follow for someone returning since vanilla like me?
Thanks in advance!
PS, I've never raided before I would really like to! Are there any active resetera clans on PS4 these days?
The quick shooting? Drove me mad. I died 33 times before I got it.
You just need to play passive and focus on staying alive. Stay close to walls and corners so you can retreat if you know very well you will lose the fight. Apart from getting kills, getting assist kills also helps with the streak.talking the crucible step :(
Cant even complaint about yours because i cant fucking reach it
PM Ruthless for a link to the Discord. The PS4 LFG is pretty good about getting newbies into raids I think. I'd bring you along for sure!Hey folks!

Destiny PvP is all about game sense. If you know that looking at your radar there's a guy waiting to shotgun you at the corner, you create a distance so you can kill him before his shotgun can even reach you or avoid that corner. If you see your radar pings at 2 different areas means you get the fuck out and rejoin your teammates.
If you got hit first before you fire the first shot...retreat, instead of hoping you will outplay him. Always play according to the distance your weapons excel in. Crouching also helps because it takes you off the radar so you surprise shoot them.
The Last Word is primarily a PvP weapon so of course PvP steps are part of the quest. If you can't even climb over those PvP steps then The Last Word is not even worth pursuing.
Like I said, it's all about gamesense. Your main priority is to stay alive and retreat from fights if you know you gonna lose. You focus on those two aspects, you can finished the quest. Let your teammate clean up and you reap the assists kill that contributes to your progress further.I don't mind too much that it has PvP steps but its just the losing progress thing is fucking trash because it requires a type of consistency this mode has a tendency to not afford unless you are super sweaty (which i'm not nor ever will be) and it can punish you even if you actually WIN. That's a terrible way for a step to be implemented tbh
So my beef is not with it being PvP steps in general its just that particular one that punishes you severely when there are plenty of opportunities to have shit games.
Ill still try because i'm a stubborn idiot but this is no fun at all due to how soul crushing it can be:(
To get progress on the step, you only need to maintain a KD of 0.5, in game efficiency of ~0.7-0.9, which can be EASILY done by simply hanging around teammates and disengage as soon as getting shot at first.I don't mind too much that it has PvP steps but its just the losing progress thing is fucking trash because it requires a type of consistency this mode has a tendency to not afford unless you are super sweaty (which i'm not nor ever will be) and it can punish you even if you actually WIN.

Do wins actually count or is it just kills? I'm making slow but decent progress playing rumble with blast furnace (zen moment, rampage) and Jotunn. Usually I play the round til I get my super, pop it and rack as many kills as I can, and then peace out to the next match cuz I figured it was more efficient but if "wins" actually count maybe I should just play the round to the end. Also if you find yourself very outmatched early on and you're losing a lot of 1v1s just leave and move on to the next game it's just not worth the frustrationPlay. Rumble.
You only need to come in top 3 out of 6 for it to count as a win, and you're not going to get snowballed.
wins or loses don't matter as long you maintain a positive K/DDo wins actually count or is it just kills?

Give me 5 and I'll be on.
Now i can get to complain about that final part once i'm there :P
Don't give up! Took me about 15 tries, and it didn't even come Masterworked! But did get the Wayfarer title from it lol
I had to quit a LFG raid early cause I mistimed my plans... I feel really bad cause the guy said this kept happening to him ;-;
Continue to focus on this aspects and you will see your PvP game dramatically improved even if you had already completed the last word steps, applied that whenever you do your 5 games pvp weekly or Iron banner.I DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK OFF QUEST STEP, GOD
Basically went 100% with this mindset and while it took a bit i finally did it.
Thanks
You have not seen me play then.
will be in the .5 -.7 range more times than i should admit :(
Was thinking about this but i'm usually fucking terrible at a 1 to 1 engagement (especially when its some shotgun) so i didn't bother with it.

How many powerful frames did you forge? I didn't think Jotunn drops are rare?!
It's a joke.. They kicked me at the end as you can see in the clip and when it dropped everyone was laughing hard in disbelief. It ties into the fact that my struggle for the SoS emote is well documented and every Spire run someone gets to rub it in when they inevitably get it dropped for them, sometimes back to back. So it's funny that after months of taunting and being very late to doing Scourge that of anyone, I get it off the bat. Through EP guns to Wayfarer I've not exactly been known for my RNG luck lol.Okay since you intentionally put it out there, I have to ask: why would mentioning your clanmates being unlucky potentially to the point of discouragement make you more satisfied? So much so that you would go out of your way to mention it?
People are reallllllly fucking weird. But grats on your Anarchy, though. Wish I could find a reason to ever equip mine.
If you're feeling this sort of manifest antipathy towards your clanmates rather than empathy and encouragement for them to get theirs soon, maybe you need a new clan. Seems unhealthy.

Destiny has reached beyond super-serious to some which is off-putting to say the least.

What Kyuuji describes happens all the time...just fun and messing about with other players/friends.
Post activision?Any rumors about what's next for destiny in the annual pass and post activision?

The first 10 VoG HM clears I did, I got a Vex every other try. After the first, I used to clip me getting and then sharding it and then share it with friends who I knew were super salty about not getting it yet. Good times.Okay since you intentionally put it out there, I have to ask: why would mentioning your clanmates being unlucky potentially to the point of discouragement make you more satisfied?

Haha yeah, pretty much although I gained some kind of weird enjoyment from completing all of it. Don't worry, Warmind is better and Forsaken is much, much better so things are only looking up for you.Man Curse of Osiris campaign is hell of a slog, manages the rare feat of making time go slower while playing a game.
