You guys think the Moon strike is bad as is? I'm currently on the last part of the Thorn handcannon exotic bounty. It requires you to do the strike on very hard (level 26) and when you get to the end you cannot kill Phogoth.. nope. You have to go through three waves of knights and wizards until Xyor, the Unwed (the guy the bounty requires you to kill) spawns all while keeping away from Phogoth.

How many Strikes are there? There's some that aren't in Story mode?

[Paula Rose]

There are 6 i believe. One on Earth, one on the Moon, two and Venus and two on Mars. 7 if you count the Raid.

[Stacyia]

There's only 6 strikes I believe. The playlist will select 4 random ones.

[Shiarra Curtis]

Strikes are already there own thing separate from the Story really. They all become available to you as you progress to each of the planets. There are five strikes throughout the game. Six if you're on PlayStation. Earth has one. The Moon has one. Venus has two. Mars has one. I'm on Xbox so I don't know where the exclusive one is exactly.

[jodie]

Yeah I did the Strike on Earth and I have the one on the Moon available. So the playlist is something that will be available in the Crucible when it unlocks?

[Love iz not]

No, it'll have its own icon when you set your destination. To the right of Earth's icon.

[ZANEY82]

Ok cool. Also, how do I access the Raids?

[Kevin S]

The only raid available at the moment is on Venus. Which recommends you at least be level 26. Even at that level, I wouldn't even touch it unless you're properly equipped.

[glot]

Ugh. Hardest strike in my entire life, and my reward was..nothing. Absolutely nothing. The level 24 strike from the strike playlist. So pointless. Why in the world did I just do that..?

[Kayleigh Williams]

Ok cool. I'm level 14, so my subclass will unlock next level and then at 18 I'll unlock Vanguard and Crucible Marks right?

[Sarah Knight]

thanks a lot xCassiusSlay you may well see me about soon (will send you a friend request tomorrow/going to get some sleep now)

[Blackdrak]

In the Crucible, I have 4 modes available. Control, Clash, Combined Arms, and Rumble. There's a 5th icon but it's greyed out?

[Nick Tyler]

Is the raid a timed event, or will it be around? I'm only at 22.

[Ana Torrecilla Cabeza]

It's here forever.

[Annika Marziniak]

Finally got to Vanguard rank 2 and bought myself some Dustwalker Armor. Chest and legs.

[celebrity]

Awesome, thanks.

[Angela Woods]

If you Listen Carefully, you can hear Phogoth, the World boss, saying this:

Really ??? lol

[KU Fint]

Okay, you seasoned vets, I have questions.

I've been at level 23 for two days, and my bar doesn't seem to move anymore. Does this mean I have to find a way to increase my Light count (currently at 23)?

If so, what's the best way to get better Light gear? I've been doing nothing but strikes (reached Vanguard max 100 just a few minutes ago)? I thought about doing to stories on high difficulty, but if this won't matter, then I won't do it.

How does one create those blue orbs of light and what are they?

I found this dead ghost, got the head, and now I need 9 more rare fusion rifles. Any good drop spots for these or is this going to be one helluva waiting game?

Thanks for the help. I'll check back in before I play tomorrow, but right now, it's bed time.

Destiny is a great game, but it has some major flaws. These flaws cause massive frustrations among players, and they could easily be fixed. Here is my list of issues:

1) The best and most effective means of character progression past level 20 is sitting on a rock and shooting at a cave entrance for hours on end. I don't think I need to explain why this is bad gameplay.

2) Big bosses at the end of strikes/raids drop no loot, giving virtually no incentive for players to do them. Example: I just did the level 24 strike playlist. It was extremely difficult, extremely time consuming, and the last boss, Phogoth, can go kiss my ass it was so damned difficult. But what did I get out of that incredible time sink and difficulty? Absolutely nothing save 2 uncommon engrams that netted nothing of use to me. The end bosses need to have a 100% chance loot of dropping AT LEAST one rare engram, and a chance at a legendary, higher than normal mobs out in the world. This gives incentives to do strikes. Because as it stands, I will *never* do that again, why? Because there is absolutely no reason to do so.

3) The chance of getting a Legendary engram off random mobs is almost non existent, but on the off chance that it DOES happen, there's a (seemingly) 99% chance that it's a blue, green, or a legendary for another class. This is absurd. There is no reason for this whatsoever; the design philosophy behind this is idiotic at best. There is not a single more frustrating thing in the entire game than getting a legendary engram after hours of farming and it be a green hand cannon for a level 14. Please, whoever decided to make this design choice, quit. Just quit your job, please.

4) Reputation grinding is far too tedious and slow. Strikes offer so very little reward, and to top it off, minimal reputation. After 4 hours of reputation grinding for Dead Orbit, I am still like 1/8th into rank "zero". Yeah, that needs to change, and fast. Bungie doesn't advertise this game as an MMO, and have been very adamant about not calling it an MMO from the beginning, so why is it so grindy like an MMO? This is Destiny, not World of Warcraft, I shouldn't be spending days, even weeks, farming reputations. That's not what this game was advertised as.

5) There needs to be a forward momentum when attempting to get gear that is tangible and something you can feel and notice/experience, else gameplay gets boring and stale. Around level 23, progression seems to halt for some, completely become non existent for others, and for the lucky few, is a joyride filled with purple engrams, but those lucky few are a very small sample size. Sure, you may look at this level 22 in full purples and say "There's no problem!" but that's a vast minority. Most of us are in in the same gear we've had for days/weeks trying to find an upgrade with 5 more light on it so we can possible level up. That's bad gameplay. I have been the same level for 5 days now, with the exact same gear. Is this because I've not done anything and haven't been trying?

-5 hours minimum per day

-Strikes

-Crucible

-Bounties

-Farming that stupid cave for hours a day

Everything I can possibly do to get an upgrade, I'm doing. But my reward is nothing. Yet people who go -23 in that last pvp match got 2 legendary engrams. Worst reward system for any pvp game that I have ever played in my entire life.

Well, that's about it for my rant/review for now. I enjoy the game, I really really do, but it's so damned frustrating 90% of the time after you hit level 20. Pure RNG loot coupled with another luck based roll to even get an item you can use? Awful. I give the game a 7/10, and only so low just because it's so damned annoying so much. I'm sure I'd think differently if I was one of the few who have amazing luck with engrams, but my luck is non existent apparently.

You need to upgrade your light count and get more XP. To get higher light levels, you need armor that has it on it. The best way to upgrade is to get armor engrams and pray that the Cryptroll gives you something useful, or continue to do the Vanguard strikes until you can get Legendary gear from the Vanguard vendors

[I love YOu]

I am Ryanjs20 on Xbox One, recently hit level 21, gonna be 22 shortly. Farming mostly, need to do strikes though and stuff. Don't PvP at all.

[Josh Dagreat]

So apparently, a representative of the Queen is showing up at 2am pacific tomorrow in the Tower. New bounties and modes apparently. Seems interesting, but I'll probably won't try it until Wednesday.
