I also kind of thought it was odd that they decide to blur your character when viewed close up. Maybe there was some rendering problems in the beta they were trying to hide! :tinfoil:

My guess is that the depth-of-field effect is there to hide the "low" poly model that we play with so that our memory of making a character, using a high poly model, remains vivid. Pretty ingenious.

I could be wrong and its just another camera effect. I really doubt that Bungie is trying to hide Halo 2 faces.

Went back to the Cydonia for PVP and Shingen for PVE, just like in beta.

Mainly because I haven't found a pulse rifle I like, or a scout rifle that deals the same amount of damage of those two ARs. Revenge of the RNG :smithicide:

Quick question about gear while leveling up. What takes priority, armor stats or the strength/discipline/etc modifiers? I'm often stuck between sticking with my one or two level old greens with bonuses and new whites with better defense.

I usually stick to itemd that speed up cool downs. I'll punch for days to get that grenade back up. When the difference between two items is about 10% of your total defense it's time to swap though.

I got my first legendary drop from a legendary engram! I guess I have to make a hunter now, since it was a Hunter chest piece.

Is there any point to holding onto class-specific items that you can't use? My first legendary engram turned out to be Sunbreakers and I feel like I should save them.

Do what you want but man I remember the grind to buy those things when they were on sale.

How are you people getting these legendary engrams?

I started getting them more after level 20, if you're not 18+ I wouldn't expect them.

There's a good farming circuit on Mars you guys probably know about, but I'll put up a video of it later.

I ran across some pubbies trying it out on Venus. I followed them in and got stuck in an invisible wall after they all disappeared. :saddowns: I got invited to their Fireteam for the Vault of Glass, and the party kept getting wiped by some crazy mechanics that're explained as well as everything else in the game. Then I realized it's 4:20AM and I should probably hit the sack.

Welp that's my story Vault of Glass, I'll probably be way more game tomorrow for it.

If your crosshairs aren't keeping up with other players, or you think you're turning too slow, it's time to turn the sensitivity up. From what I've heard a lot of sensitivities are set between 5&7, I'm at 7 personally. It's all about finding a comfortable spot, the guy who was at the top of the leaderboards in the beta said his sensitivity was set to 3 or 4.

I guess that's just my personal anecdotes, I'll admit that I'm noticeably less accurate with the sniper rifle in PVP but following people with the primary weapons is a breeze and worth the trade off.

Or I'm reacting to getting chumped by shotguns repeatedly.

Vault of Glass is so good when everyone is coordinating. The last boss has some bullshit hoops to go through and the pressure never really lets off when you get to him, but the rest of it loving owns.

The targets for the "keep the enemy from reaching the checkpoints" public events have crazy high damage resistance, I've never been able to down one by myself.

The targets are practically mini bosses. I've been able to get a few of them, the ones I've missed have had a shield. Do you need to reload? Well looks like Captain Bullet Sponge has half of his shield back up! And I'm at level 27.

The warlock's aoe grenade will occasionally mess up their path and they'll just stop and eat it, fwiw.
