@Fir3dD3mon: The error happens to me too, whenever I try to play Crucible. Although it only shows that I have no PS+ and says PS+ required, but I can still start it so no idea why it assumes that I have no PS+. Probably a simple bug in their game.

Really hate Bungie's hand being forced to reduce weighting of First Light (moon map) in PvP after the recent update. I don't get why the community dislikes it.

Ugh.

probably because of the turrets..they provide a pretty huge line of fire and only the one near B is open to sneak attacks

Not joking but I've yet to come across such a scenario where turrets at A and C are demolishing everyone. Heck I can't recall the last time I saw anyone using any turret instead of B.

Even still, if you go down from either A or C turrets, you'll respawn at a place far away, and you can easily take them out. Stay far and snipe on its head (if you can't flank), the driver almost always jumps out after taking 2/3 shots as he realizes his turret is ineffective at this range.

Another argument would have been the fact that the map is sniper-heaven, but even still that argument would be invalid since there are a ton of ways to fight them off.

Like wise I've had matches with 35+ kills between my sniper and scout rifle, sitting Top B. But again, those instances are rare when matchmaking sometimes doesn't pair people well enough. Every map can be exploited to hell and back if one team is hopelessly dumb. But First Light doesn't strike me as a bad map at all. I've had good games and bad, but yet to come across turrets being a nuisance IMO.

Thank You to @faizy who helped me get my first Legendary helmet.... Can someone let me know where the hell do i get Spirit Blooms from ? In order to upgrade defence of the helmet i need 16 Spirit Blooms. Apparently I only have 1 :tpc:

Also was finally able to get an exotic weapon bounty but after completing all the tasks i was told to collect the exotic shotgun from the gunsmith... but that clown wont let me get it unless i but 50 "Special Ammo Syntheses".... I have none :fp: and to each one costs around 250 Glimmers. Is there any other way to get it ?

250 glimmer is pretty cheap..as for the other way, well it appears randomly sometimes from loot chests but buying it yourself is the quickest way..complete all 5 vanguard and crucible bounties every day and you will end up with more than 6k glimmer. As for spirit bloom, you remember that huge battleground area between Vex and Fallen in Ishtar Commons? Comes right after the library part where we meet that robo chick who sends us off to the Reef..just keep running around in circles in that battleground area and checking rooms. You will have like 50 spirit blooms through loot chests and from the stuff that grows on walls in about 30mins

yeah i agree with you..the map isnt bad, its quite fun (unless some noobs decide to go camp with cloak) i hate Bastion's exterior though

Venus is littered with Spirit blooms everywhere. Go watch spirit bloom farming guides on youtube. Also 250 glimmer is nothing. I've consistently capped my glimmer count to 25,000. I guess you're not playing much of the game lol.

Go try bounties and play the crucible to earn lots of glimmer.

AFAIK, Spirit Blooms can be found by patrolling.

No idea abouw Special Ammo Syntheses though.

@venom no problem dude i already had the chest and helmet but i still went with you on that mission for fun :D .. and i got a legendary engram in the process which gave me ascendant shards :D ... after that i met up with @Ex0dus and his friend and we did the weekly nightfall strike (we were both level 26) .. he found an awesome glitch at the final boss ... one member hid in one corner and the enemies were firing at him but the shots werent hitting :p .. while the other two dealt with the boss ...now heres the fun part ... as soon as we downed .. we left the fireteam and joined again to respawn(since there was no 30 sec respawn in the nightfall strike) .. lol ... awesome way to get it done :p

Got my Destiny Limited Edition a few days ago ... Have been playing it a little, currently at Level 3 :p .. I definitely understand why people were suggesting earlier to play this with friends, etc ... I can understand how awesome that must be .. So far the storyline is pretty much non-existent, but I like the RPG elements in the game, where you can upgrade different gear that your guardian is wearing .. That's a very unique and new thing for FPS games and I love it !

Got a few questions if someone can answer:

1) I go to the Tower trying to find people at n00b levels like me (new beginners) so that I can make a fireteam with them. But I only see level 20+ people there. Where are the newbs ?

2) The game itself isn't that easy to pick up I think ... For example, the only way I know to do actual shooting, is by going into orbit and launching some mission .. What about those PvP and PvE matches, how do I get into those ?

3) How can I change the facial appearance of my guardian once it has been created ? ... I don't suppose I can change the type (from human to one of those robots things) ? :p

Also, anyone new you want to partner up, add me on PSN .. ahmadka .. I normally play after 11pm ~ 12am ..

Some pictures of my Limited Edition:

Spoiler: show

[MENTION=1020]ahmadka[/MENTION] I hardly see new players tbh most of the potential buyers bought it near launch so yeah the newb ratio is low.

Keep leveling up and more stuff will unlock procedurally.

You can't change facial characteristics, though you can create different characters.

We usually play at around 10pm to 1am.. If you see us online join in.
[MENTION=19796]Fir3d3mon[/MENTION] lots of stuff has changed the Daily Heroic missions now have guaranteed rewards which is good because previously I never cared about it as it yielded nothing.
We now can get specific (sort of) rewards from weekly strikes as well.

but all that stuff is useless for me now since i had to do grind for rep and then buy the stuff..now all i need is gear from raid or nightfall strikes and im nowhere near crazy enough to try that without a fully geared group only to be rewarded with green level 16 shit

    Alan Wake 2 also had a deep storyline. But it didn't win GOTY. This year has been rather boring as compared to last year when I purchased and 'downloaded' dozens of games. I only bought 2 games this year both with MC score over 92.

    Yes. I agree about the gameplay. But the story and cinematics are Oscar worthy, imo. Movies with deep stories like this generally win Oscars. But I may be wrong. It's only my opinion.

    About Hellblade 2, I just watched the story on a YT channel out of curiosity and I think it has the Hallmark of a GOTY this year. While many criticize the game and I also don't like this genre of game, I believe the story and visuals looks like a cenimatic masterpiece.
    It may win the "best visuals" category, but that's about it. A GOTY contender needs to nail all aspects (Story, Gameplay, Visuals, etc)
