There is an event called Queen's Wrath going on this week. You get orders from completing bounties, and the orders send you on special versions of missions, which award legendary gear.

Other legendary armor gives shards still. You also get 2 shards for completing a daily heroic, and you can get a ton of shards in the raid.

Your new plan should be Vault of Glass.

Two ascendant materials per day from completing the daily heroic mission. A mail gift containing an ascendant material or a mote of light once a day for your first public event.

The people shooting into that cave are pretty terrible at Destiny. You have to misunderstand how the game works on a very fundamental level to think that is a productive use of time.

Loot cave? I thought it was the disco cave. I go there to dance.

30 requires fully-upgraded raid gear. This guy hit it first by farming extra shards and gear on his other characters. If he mails the 20 and 21 the gear on his main hunter, they are level 30 as well. So he can do triple raids, and put all the gear together.

Yes, and this is week 3, which means that you can buy all four pieces of armor and a primary weapon with 300 crucible points and 300 vanguard points. This was always the most efficient way to gear. The cave is a lie.

That's just not true. It's really not dependent on engram drops at all. Shooting at the cave will not get you to the top. Doing normal bounties gets you the exotic bounties. Doing Nightfall Strikes gets you exotic loot. Doing Weekly Heroic Strikes gets you strange coins.

Games built around customizable avatars are different from games built around main characters. NPCs in Oblivion and Mass Effect react to your character the same way in most cases, regardless of your customization options.

Actually, the strikes are suboptimal for vanguard mark acquisition.

The best way to gear is by doing bounties and earning reputation and marks from stuff like public events and crucible matches. Farming is a terrible way to try to earn legendaries. But random loot can drop at any time, and feels less remote to bad players.

Farming engrams is not supposed to be the preferred method of endgame gearing. If you've been doing bounties, you should be nearing vanguard level 3. A complete set of legendary armor costs 315 vanguard marks, but it's likely you'll buy at least one piece with strange coins. Hunters and Titans have each had a chance…

That has a chance to spawn instead of a public event.

In case you can't tell by the stuff he's screaming at you, that "toxic" player hates playing with you as much as you hate playing with him.

Who does?

Game reviews skew high on a numerical scale, probably in part because the publications are dependent on the game publishers for early access and review materials. And even negative reviews often say enough positive things about bad games that marketing departments can get pull-quotes out of them. But if you…

Okay, can you name a single game since the 2005 launch of the Xbox 360 that has a metascore below 7.5 which you think was one of the top 5 games of the year it came out? Top 10?

Infinity Ward reinvented the multiplayer console shooter with COD4 and its progression system, but the first Call of Duty was absolutely a revolutionary game. You may not have played it because it was too resource intensive to run on PS2/Xbox, so the real game was only on the PC, but it was one of the first game to…

Borderlands has repetitive mission structures and less polished game systems, but it has tons of personality. It makes such a huge difference to have a villain like Handsome Jack rather than a villain who is a giant pulsing blob.
