Honestly, the raid legendaries are situationally better than most exotics.

So much want.

I just did the earlier this week. I was the weak link at only lvl 26 (while having connection issues). Raid leader was a bit of a **** and wouldn't wait for me to open the first chest when my connection started to hang.

In any case, I walked away with Vision of Confluence (Raid Scout Rifle), Praedyth's Revenge (Raid Sniper Rifle), and Prime Zealot Gloves (Raid Hunter Gloves), so not a bad haul indeed. The scout rifle in particular is beast, full auto and with perks, has almost no recoil.

Damn, nothing I want this week. Oh well I only have 20 coins, but I do have 24 motes... maybe an engram gamble?

In other news, I will be picking up a legendary primary from the vanguard shop. woot!

Players have yet to confirm that you get anything less than an exotic from the engrams. However, whether or not it is an item for your desired character class is up to chance.

As @wheelhaus said no one knew what the hell was going on lol (myself included for awhile haha), and there was a crap ton of background noise from one of the people. Oh and nope nothing was covered beforehand we went in just as blind as you did haha. The level 29 guy seemed like he knew what to do but lacked any communication skills (like I defended the left for awhile then someone was like what the hell are you doing over there).

I did some strikes with khoaun after everyone bailed that was fun though.

I have a couple of friends I play with regularly. They are 28, I'm 25. Should be 26 or 27 tonight I hope. All three of us have stuff to do on and off this weekend, but if we're all on maybe we can get something started.

None of us have any idea what's going on.

I'm not really sweating the no exotic but I've only got 1 legendary primary, and it sucks. "The Conduit" pulse rifle. Clip is way too small.

But I'm getting there, only 443 Vanguard rep left to get to Level 3. Should be able to get it tomorrow when the Bounties reset.

I'm also on the cusp of lvl28 finally, just need 2 more shards.

I did something with khouan last night, he sent me an invitations from no where and I entered and helped finish the event. Ended up getting a queen wraths helmet. Pretty sick legendary!

[wheelhaus]

Why is it that the pulse rifles are so unpopular? Even the legendaries are "meh". Seems like 3-round burst would be more effective, but nobody likes them. tahdizzle was telline me that the level 16 pulse rifle you get at the end of the game is pretty sweet, i think it has high stability and low recoil so the shots stay tightly grouped... But I just threw it in my vault. I'll give it a shot with my next character.

I think a lot of people play spray and pray with auto rifles, which generally are a lot more forgiving than other weapons that really need precision to make the kills. That and auto-rifles are OP at the moment and do a lot of damage at farther range than intended.

[tahdizzle]

The strangers rifle has a good grouping, It is a great rifle (for an alt until they get to lvl 20).

I personally enjoy pulse rifles, about to finish my bad juju bounty actually. But ARs just have the ROF and with all these stability mods, they keep an even tighter grouping, with a high rate of fire, and comparable range.

People who think AR's didn't need an "adjustment" are people who like playing on easy mode.

Ugh, I looked just now and I've only got 3 strange coins. Need 10 more for the saint helm.

The auto rifles can be fired single shot with a quick tap of the button. I originally liked the scout and pulse rifles but once I learned to take single shots with the autos, I'm sticking to them for now. They come in handy when you need a high volume of fire on high value targets like bosses.

I like pulse rifles, the stranger's rifle and a lvl20 blue i had were great. This The Conduit gun just doesn't cut it for whatever reason.

Cool I'll be off and on myself this weekend but I'm down to try the raid again! Down for strikes too.
