The number was around before the faction thing though. I’ve been using it for quite awhile

The number does not have high cal rounds though like Uriels gift Ar that everyone is using. Which goes a long way to flinching the shit out of anyone you face. I honestly find all 3 usable, Cant really tell too much difference in PvP, the Uriel, the Number, and Jiangshi or whatever. They are all so close to each other that it really just a preference thing. I honestly cannot remember the last time I have gotten a kill in PvP with the ricochet thing with both the Hard light in D1 or the Number last night when i as running cruclible weekly. Not saying that it doesnt happen, its just pretty fucking rare.
Now the guns that had the armor pen from D1 were the shit, remember those snipes in Yr1 or 2? Cand remember, anyway one of the first Iron Banner dropped some armor piercing snipers which could literally shoot through walls. fucking magical until nerfed, lol.

Shotgun is decent, titan armor looks good (and is resto), shaders are really nice since they're the only one of the three that were allowed to have glossy/metallic shaders that compete with Eververse's mtx bullshit.
Edit: One (only?) good thing about these boring ass token farms people have come up with--they work great even when you're playing on a Vita over the internet.

Yup my go to is scout primary and energy AR for both PvE and PvP. Handcannons could be used in PvE if you get one with solid fast reload. I tried the FWC last night and the reload is too fucking long. I tried it in PvP and it hits like a truck, but its no AR, thats for sure. You have to hit your shots to the head. I think with practice HC s would be dcent. But thats the downside with hand cannons. Pulses were always pretty good in D1, yr 2 and yr 3 I dont know why they are so weak in this game.

Yeah, I burned my two 305 MIDAs on Nameless Midnight and Manannan SR4. An AR (The Number/Origin Story) goes perfectly with an explosive scout rifle so I kind of feel at this point there's only 4 guns in the game. I pretty much rule out all the exotics because of how useful Merciless and Wardcliff Coil are.

Mentioned this before but have noticed it big time since launch. I've noticed that it initially puts me into a populated instance and then, as people leave, it does not replace them. If I try to fast travel/reload the instance, it takes quite a number of tries to get put in a new one. @Zarcath fix this instance matchmaking!

Yeah sometimes this happens to me. Last night for instance was grinding some PEs again on Titan, plus doing those new faction event things. Shit was rolling smoothly, for a few hours I was going between the two platforms, fast traveling and people were everywhere, then all of a sudden I fast traveled to the first platform, it was dead, fast traveled again, dead again, etc.... So I just quit, worked on my PvP shit. Definitely seems ike there is a bug in their system. Maybe next time Ill try to go to orbit, then back again.
Also IO was dead for me as well last night. I think I saw 2 people total. But I had my son with me and we still rocked the flashpoint out. My thought is people were doing the faction 6 crate thig all night, lol.
I think that whole thing with the crate grinding is boring as fuck, I mean I know why people do it, but why not PEs? You get your flashpoint done, do PEs get planetary tokens plus 8 faction tokens each. Not to mention all the gunsmith shit too. And its like 250% more fun than shooting crates for hours, lol.

Same, but I usually have Hawthorne's shotgun, it is such a beast for fast single target dmg.

They think its easier. Bungie could have just placed the tokens inside the chest at the end of a Lost Sector, say 4, and people would probably be more spread out.
About populated zones. If you're in a 2-man team, my experience so far has been that you are never placed in a populated zone, but you'll see people come into your zone one at a time.

I carry Hawthorne's around too, but usually keep Wardcliff equipped because of the trick that converts its last unit of ammo into a full load for any other power weapon.
And yeah, I did the loot caves because it was more efficient to do that while waiting for PEs to pop in the zone I was in. Got flashpoint, clan xp, and hundreds of tokens without having to dick around. And besides when I did try to dick around and get the PEs done quicker I ended up trying to solo them which is annoying as hell even on my hunter that can actually win vs. heroic modes.
Edit: Seems there's a cap on faction shit, past rank 30 you only get shaders. It's not clear if the additional rep still applies to the event.
