JsinOwl 644 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 If there's something you'd like me to try and find out, just ask. I'm sure most of what's in the guide is on the wiki, but maybe not. As I find useful nuggets I'll post them: Nuggets of useful information Enemies: Enemies with shields are immune to 'critical' damage until their shields are depleted. Vex Minotaurs have a Void shield and no weak points, but blowing off their head prevents their shield from regenerating.

Baabcat 1,646 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I got the guide as well, interesting in places but best use I have found for it so far is picking up those gold chests. The Armoury section makes my head spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_C_Scipio 395 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 How exactly does Crucible balancing work? All I can find anywhere is that "level advantages are disabled" without any explanation of what that actually means. I assume everyone has the same health and defense rating, but does it mean all guns do the same damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'll try to find out more when I get home If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinOwl 644 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 God damn accidental submit Anyway, the things I recall are as you say level advantages are disabled. In PvE you do more damage to things that are lower level and less damage to things that are higher. In PvP this not the case in general. Weapons are normalized based on their archtype, which is like a subclass for weapons. For instance their are heavy hand canons, balanced hand canons, light hand canons, etc. In PvP everyone's heavy hand canon has the same stats whereas in PvE there will be varity in stats, mods and level.

JsinOwl 644 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I found the pertinent quote from the guide. level and Attack stats do not affect damage, so whether you are using a Level 5 Common weapon or a Level 20 Exotic, you will deal the same damage. In the case of normal Crucible PvP, temporary damage mods are one of the few ways you can increase damage on your weapon, and almost every such mod requires you to earn the damage bonus. Based on that, it sounds like the weapons still have their RoF, Impact, Range, Stability, and Reload stats but these things are not in turn modified by level or the weapon's overarching Attack number.

Baabcat 1,646 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I got a purple engram today (my first legendary), took it to get decoded by the cryptarch, and he bloody nicked it and gave me two unusual coins for it.. Any idea what that is about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch616 697 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Strange coins are the currency used for the "Agent of nine". He has exotic level gear, engrams and weapons. I think you'll need 13 to get something at the moment. This arms dealer only spawns at the weekend and will be in different places. Currently he's over by the speaker against the large circular door you can't get through JsinOwl and BO7H B4RRELS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I have an auto rifle with a perk called Glass Half Full, which increases damage in the bottom half of the mag. The way I'm interpreting this paragraph, I do in fact get this damage bonus in the Crucible under the right circumstances. Does that sound right?

Plumbers Crack 4,055 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I've completed the story on my first character. If I go through it again on the same difficulty setting with new characters will the rewards, loot chests, etc be there again?

JsinOwl 644 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Loot chests are always spawning randomly. The Gold Chests are in fixed locations and stay there until collected. Every character gets their own set of gold chests. You get mission rewards the first time you complete a story mission but never again unless it's a daily heroic. (You didn't use to get rewards for the daily heroic but I thought they patched it, could be wrong on that one though.) You always get stuff for strikes and raids.
