I'm stuck between AR and pulse rifle because I don't know how bungee is going to change them. AR is the obvious choice right now, but with pulse rifles getting buffed and ARs getting nerfed, who knows

Does that list include the crucible ones?
If you add Lord High Fixer (hand cannon, crucible rank 3) and The Calling (scout rifle, FWC rank 3) as alternatives, yes.

And Fadaar is right. Store-bought guns seem to have been deliberately set up with inferior mods. The best ones have one good mod and one or two useful options in the second column of three to choose from. It's not that big a deal though, you're just using them to get a Vision of Confluence or Atheon's Epilogue (and then using one of those to get the hard-mode-only hand cannon or pulse rifle if that's your preference) anyway.

Honestly the best purple weapons are going to be random drops/engrams/mail packages that have better mods than the store bought variants. Which is what my Shadow Price is, it's awesome. Persistence (more accurate longer it's fired), Field Scout (mag size goes from 25 -> 42), and Spray and Play (increased reload with empty mag). Spray and Play could have been a better roll but Persistence + Field Scout is awesome. Also has good stability and range to boot.
Ya, but hoping you get a engram+good roll isn't a reliable way to upgrade

Have all the armor to reach level 30, just need to upgrade it all. Now the question is, how long will it take to get a Vex Mythoclast running hard mode twice a week. Hopefully not too long...

I thought you could only get loot once a week, no?

If the Aetheon suicide bug isnt fixed tuesday you'll know for sure they give 2 craps of balance. While the Mythoclast is powerful there are plenty of strong Autos to use in pvp or pve as well.

I wish you could change the color of your fuckin reticlesin this game - you'd think something so simple would be implemented - but some of the colors blend into surroundings too much and its annoying as sin.

Wow, one thing in Bungie's favor: Being forced to do PvP for in the Invective Exotic Bounty has "allowed" me kicking and screaming to improve from a .5 or less k/d guy to constantly 1+ k/d per match. Fusion rifle + using the radar ftw; after a solid day of Crucible matches yesterday, I am maxed out on Marks, IB lvl 2, FWC Lvl 2, and from 0 exotic weapons to 3; IceBreaker, which is awesome, along with Pocket Infinity and Invective.

Just curious has anyone seen a Iron Banner ship drop yet? I've seen like 100 handguns...

I know it exists because I got one in the Beta.

I want to write a Postmortem on my feelings about the game since I have pretty much taken it as far as it can go before the DLC comes out.

I think I'm going to wait one more week so everyone is slightly jaded at that point.

I will say in short it could be a great game, but is currently being killed by Bungie.

Don't think you even need to be at the bleeding-edge of the game to see what you are talking about. It is damn near obvious that Bungie completely gutted the game for potentially more profits in the long-run. The game has incredible potential and should have lived up the that potential. The early marketing materials and old videos show a game that is definitly NOT the same game we are playing. Our game is significantly more barren of content and features (that were shown numerous times in videos, interviews, etc).

Not many studios left that have the mentality that content & depth > profit....

This shit is starting to make me sick... We knew it was true, but seeing more proof come out angers me.

More locations (Strikes) that are on the game disk that are not in the current game but will be released in future DLCs...

EDIT: Supposedly, there is another raid area on the disk that is explore-able.
Most of us played enough EQ1 to be used to game files having unfinished areas in advance of them actually adding content to the areas. There's nothing abnormal about that - and with how big the files for the zones likely are with the texture sizes it's saving a shitload of data costs transmitting them having them done in advance.

If it can be proven they're already done and being held back just to cash in later that's a different story, but all these look like are empty zone files - not a big deal at all.

Listening to my buddy who is ranting about how Icebreaker is crap compared to his older purple weapon. Its painful listening to him.

Honestly I don't think new strikes or even raids would make the game all that much better. If there were 2-3 more strikes in the game, would it really make you mor excited to do strikes?
