Danng, I quit at like 25 and thought it was hard to get any higher XD, traded in for GTA5.

Stapleface3377d ago

Devs running around with buffed up weapons and all they want to do to ours is nerf them because the "total kill time" is too fast for some weapons. LOL

kayoss3377d ago (Edited 3377d ago )

I'm at level 22 and i cant do any hard raid because my armor are too week, dont have enough money to buy legendary weapons, and put in almost 80hrs into this game. But I swear that i have not have a legendary drop. The only thing i get are those legendary materials. I've spent 3 hours at one of those loot cave and nothing...

USA0073377d ago

You shouldn't be using a loot cave, as they were made obsolete back in October. The best way to level up is run strike playlists for engrams and collect vanguard or crucible marks and buy the gear from the vendors.

If you have actually played 80hrs and been doing beneficial things, then you should have enough to buy at least 3 of those armor pieces

Stapleface3377d ago

Yeah, your not putting those hours in where they count. Do the highest level strike playlist you can get. Legendary drops are few and far between these days. I have got pretty lucky lately with getting them, but I generally end up with materials from the engrams. A few hours will have you enough vanguard marks for a set of legendary armor minus the helmet, as you'll have to wait to get more marks to buy that, they are 120 marks for some reason. Everything else is 75. So a few hours, for 2 weeks (Tuesday reset obviously) and you'll be to level 31. 32 you'll have to Raid for. And hope that RNGesus loves you. Vaguard Tigers and Rocs are the best place for engrams. It will help you build your Vanguard level and Cryptarc level, both with a chance at legendary gear upon level up.

GameSpawn3377d ago (Edited 3376d ago )

Loot caves are done. There is not really ANY spawn spots less than 10-20 seconds, most much higher. You can farm chests on different planets (there are plenty of videos for farming circles) that every 3-5 will give you blues. Enough blues you will get an occasional Legendary.

You are ALWAYS best off doing bounties and patrol missions to raise your Vanguard rank. Every time your Vanguard or Faction rank goes up past rank 3 you get a Legendary care package (same goes for the Cryptarch). Also make sure to do at least one Public event per day (and get Gold if possible) to get your daily care package from that (it's usually ascendant materials).

The Vanguard and Factions have enough equipment to get you to level 30-33 once fully upgraded, so you shouldn't be stuck in the low 20's for long.

Once you are at least level 26 and if you have access to the Dark Below DLC, there is a mission called Siege of the Warmind that can be used to VERY easily farm engrams as there is a point in the mission at the very start that has wave upon wave of easy to kill Thralls. You just kill yourself after all the waves to restart the mission and farm the waves again. I can't tell you the exact number, but it is about 6-8 waves in a row of 4-6 Thralls/wave at one point, which if you get headshots on all of them or multikills with a Fusion Rifle you increase your engram drop chance.

DafunkyRebel3376d ago

I was there at one point too, just keep doing vanguard strikes on while in orbit and crucible to get better gears, weapons and Vanguard marks. Also don't join a faction until you get to vanguard rank 4, trust me on this

cell9893376d ago

Dude at 80 hrs I already had 2 31s. Are you doing enough bounties and strikes? With enough vanguard reputation and marks you can buy level 31 armor not to mention the purple drops you'd get on the way there

GhostTurtle3376d ago

What everyone else said + you're doing it wrong. You don't really get legendaries until 20+ and like I said, your doing it wrong. Knock out the dailies, do some strikes and world events. The marks and coins don't just come to you you have to grind them out, but like I said you're doing everything wrong. This isn't a sandbox.

JonnyBadfinger3376d ago

They buggered the system up more by swapping the the material for marks around. Ever since they did that to get marks takes far too long.
Having to buy materials at vendors using your marks is stupid when getting materials on all planets is incredibly easy if your in the right areas. I have something like 1200 spine metal that is pointless now but I cant let it go lol

kayoss3376d ago

According to everyone, I'm playing this game all wrong.

Three level 32's of each class.

My and my friends bored in the morning- https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Aceman183376d ago

I deleted my Lvl 32 titan and 31 Hunter. I still have my maxed warlock. Just got tired of doing stuff in 3s, and warlock is the only class I like.

WildArmed3376d ago

Did the same, got rid of my warlock and hunter, now just running titan.

Though, I just log in once a week now, for nightfalls. And if Xur is selling ghally.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter347d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood347d ago (Edited 347d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro347d ago (Edited 347d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881347d ago (Edited 347d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell347d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig347d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast347d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername347d ago (Edited 347d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g347d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka347d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai498d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface497d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard495d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
