Yup. Bandwidth aside this should never be a problem for any online game on any platform. It's based on user ID, not IP.If your connection is strong enough, sure thing.

Fair enough. My friends and I are enjoying the game right now but it does leave a lot to be desired. These are my issues that I have.Guys, believe it or not I'm going to take advantage of the Edge Platinum membership 7 day return policy and get a full credit back for this game. Don't get me wrong, the game can be fun and has a lot of potential but I'm at level 12 or 13 and I'm just not feeling it enough to continue at this price tag. I really tried to love it but at around $75 counting tax I'm not getting my moneys worth for what I want. I feel I can have more fun with $20 Minecraft. There will be more shooters coming soon. I think the next COD has a lot of potential.
The life bar can be a little deceptive. Remember that you have ~3 times as much armor/shields as you do health. So if you got someone to half health, you were actually 7/8th of the way to killing them.Im level 12 or 13 right now, just unlocked venus. But i still have a couple moon missions left to go.
Played some pvp and its alright. Sometimes i feel like i do enough damage to kill someone and they dont die. Like throw a nade at someone, then shoot them, and melee them and they still have half their life bar after they kill me. I try to use automatic guns in pvp because i think its easier to hit the target with. Then i always die with one shot from a shotgun. :/ But ive had a few good games, positive K/D and we won. But right now im more interested in the story.
Alright, I figured it would be fine. But wanted to make sure before going out and buy two copies of a game I only plan on playing with my buddy.Yup. Bandwidth aside this should never be a problem for any online game on any platform. It's based on user ID, not IP.
Emblems? either buy them from special vendors or on the otherside of the postmaster there is a special order person that sells a few for glimmer.I see people with custom icons
how do you get those?
I didn't get a single blue piece before I hit level 20 today. After I hit 20, I got 1 from the daily story mission (I think), and 2 from my first vanguard strike.I am getting the worst loot in this game just hit level 20 and got maybe under 10 blue and everything else green!
Around what time? I'm taking a break now to eat and stuff but I plan on hopping back on a little later. I've been dying to try out some strikes so I'd be game.I got one blue piece, and i think it was gloves.
If anyone wants to do some strikes tonight just send me a message. You have to be level 18 i think to even do the first one. So far i am loving this game.
Nope, best to dismantle what you don't use.Is there a way to give away my gear. I have some rare stuff and the rest is uncommon head to toe.
Nice. You get all that from crucible, then? I haven't done crucible since I hit 20 yet (about to). Just the level 20 strikes, and haven't gotten anything with more than 5 light yet (haven't done that much, though).Also, I've been pretty lucky with gear. No legendary or exotic yet but I'm looking good so far...
Nope all my gear I've acquired through looting solo. I have yet to touch the Crucible or done anything outside of solo.Nice. You get all that from crucible, then?

Easiest way is by doing vanguard strikes. Level 20s and up give marks (if you hover your cursor over them, they'll tell how much). The daily story missions and weekly strikes also give marks. Trading in material can also get you marks (along with other stuff), either crucible marks or vanguard marks depending on who you trade it into).How do u get vanguard marks?
They unlock at level 18. They'll show up on the orbit screen as "vanguard"Might be a dumb question, but how do I access the strike playlists I keep reading about?
That's because they all deal Arc damage and Arc damage is buffed from the modifier. I'm level 25 and still died in very easily from even Dregs when I did it last night. Since there is no revive timer, it makes it much more difficult as well. Particularly in the defense wave early on and the waves from the final boss. Oh and like 70% of the enemies are armored.If anyone wants to fireteam up and take out the Weekly Strike lmk. It is the Devil's Nest one from Earth, so I know I wont be able to do the spiderbot solo (I can barely survive the part where U have to get rid of the laser grid) as even though i'm level 22 w/ good defense, the enemies still hit super hard
When I hit level 21, I was gonna start looking for a group. If you don't mind having a level 21, I'll join ya.If anyone wants to fireteam up and take out the Weekly Strike lmk.

All loot, ammo, etc that you see is for you. Everyone gets their own stuff, which I LOVE about this game. I hate dashing towards loot to have a chance to get something new.if its your story mission, and they are playing but not in your fireteam, do you share the loot picked up or from enemies killed, or like BL2 first come first served and one only?
I also like that if I miss a rare or legendary engram, it appears in the Lost & Found at the Tower.All loot, ammo, etc that you see is for you. Everyone gets their own stuff, which I LOVE about this game. I hate dashing towards loot to have a chance to get something new.
I thought that was only if it falls off a cliff or something? Someone tested it and missed an engram on purpose and it didn't show up there later. :/I also like that if I miss a rare or legendary engram, it appears in the Lost & Found at the Tower.
Not entirely sure as I never notice the ones I find in the Lost & Found. The chance at missing a Strange Coin, Mote of Light or the chance at a Legendary item isn't something I want to do, so I haven't actually tested it myself.I thought that was only if it falls off a cliff or something?

You get Vanguard Marks from Vanguard Strikes. They appear at level 16, but start at level 18 and go up to 24. There are also Daily/Weekly Challenges/Missions/Strikes/Whatever that give Marks, plus other stuff depending on difficulty.speaking of armor,
HOW do you get the necessary red funds to buy something in the vanguard armory?
it looks like "crucible" parts, but what is that? I saw the MP have crucible things but I don't see anywhere else?
I want some guns and I cant buy them with the "material" looking blue money, and I don't have any other funds
I literally just explained that they haven't broken even. I have no doubt that they will eventually but it may not happen until they've sold through an expansion or two.Considering its a new IP. That's already a success to break even. It already proved that an install base is possible. It'll get better.
While there are some things that give people slight advantages, damage isn't one of them. Weapons of the same type cause the same amount of damage in regular Crucible regardless of level. This has been explained dozens of times here.The only thing I hate so far is that there is no matchmaking to speak off in competitive multiplayer. How can a low level character even enjoy it if his paired to almost max people players. Can't even give out enough damage to dent my enemies. Sheesh. I'm just there to feed experience point to them. Tsk
Could be worse. I bought my Exotic Gauntlet from the Strange Coin Vendor. Then the first Legendary Engram I got was a Legendary Gauntlet. Every other Legendary Engram after that has been Ascendent Energy or Blue Items.Bah, I finally got my first legendary engram and rushed back to the tower only to get a rare item 2 levels below my current one
Yes, there is matchmaking. It's based on skill, not level, for reasons others have pointed out.The only thing I hate so far is that there is no matchmaking to speak off in competitive multiplayer.

Correct. Most enemies are armored, so you want to be level 22 to be able to do 100% damage. Plus you'll receive less damage, not that you can tell much due to the fact their damage is increased because of the random multiplier.FYI, weekly strike is hard at lvl 20. We tried with me at lvl 21, and two other lvl 20s, and didn't really have much of a shot. I suggest everyone being at least 21, and probably 22+, to have a decent shot.
