Kill 10 Majors or Ultras... a note on Patrol Etiquette.

Just a quick reference here. If you have a bounty that requires you to get 10 kills on a faction's majors or ultras, and you happen to have another individual in the same patrol space attempting to do the same thing... please do NOT be a dick and camp the spawn location of those enemies to prevent them from spawning so that, perhaps, the other players will all go away and you can have them to yourself. I've seen this happen way to many times. Note to those morons... everyone gets credit for the kill if you're nearby when it happens, whether you were the one to kill them or not. Preventing the enemies from spawning is only screwing everyone over, including yourself. Be a good neighbor... let the enemies spawn so someone can kill them and everyone wins. EDIT for clarification: There are generally 4 ways to get credit for kills - the game only really cares about participation in the kill, not who gets the kill shot. 1) Story milestone kills (bosses, etc) count for everyone on this mission (instanced areas, so fireteams) regardless of participation or proximity to target. If anyone gets the kill, you get credit. 2) Getting the kill yourself (counts in all scenarios, obviously). 3) Being any distance from the kill, and have done damage to it prior to the kill (you could shoot the enemy once, then move on, and still get credit if someone else kills it). 4) Being in close proximity to the player that gets the kill regardless of having damaged it yourself (as long as you're close to the player who gets the kill, it doesn't matter if you hit it or not. The game considers you two to be participating together).

  • I have no idea about Proximity kills (I will test that tomorrow), but I do know that assists count. I learned that last week by accident. I used to hunt for areas with no other players because I didnt want anyone stealing kills (or to steal someone elses kill). Now I just make sure the other players have damaged the target before unloading on it. It makes the game a lot more fun when you arent trying to avoid everyone :)

      Hive majors: Go to tunnel on Cosmodrome Steppes. Done in 5 minutes. Fallen majors: do maybe 2 public events or go to divide and kill Reaver Vandal that spawns every 40 seconds. Done in maybe 15 minutes using the public events schedule website. Stop crying about patrol etiquette. Those are 2 of the easiest bounties ever. If someone steals your kill it'll take you an extra 5 minutes to get it done. If you run into assholes, just go to orbit and come back.

      • Fallen Majors/Ultras: The Archives with heroic mod on. Hive Majors/Ultras: Downstairs from the area you spawn in at for Earth patrol, no one ever goes in there. Vex Majors/Ultras: Final mission with heroic mod. Cabal Majors/Ultras: First Mars mission with heroic mod. If you do this for all of them, you won't have to fight others for Major kills.

          Since we're on the topic of Etiquette, let's discuss farming. The problem with farming is that people are idiots and by being that they're not only affecting themselves but also other players. This is why no guides should ever be posted, people won't follow them anyway, resulting in: *The idiots watch half of it, to the point that they have a grasp of where to go but not the actual route. *The idiots watch all of it but can't remember the exact route anyway. So now you have a bunch of people who, if it hadnt been for the guides, probably wouldnt have been in the farm areas. Once there though it's impossible for everyone els to follow their completely random pattern. They are missing half of the nodes/chests, which directly is affecting themselves and indirectly other farmers, who will have half of the chests/nodes taken out of rotation, unless they follow the idiot and also skip a bunch of stuff. Then there are those who actually know what to do and where to go but are too stupid to scout the area for other farmers before they start. It takes about five seconds to figure out that someone els is farming the same place but instead of taking those five secs and joining forces they're just jumping right in to it. So now we'll either have one farmer on each side of the map, grabbing chests/nodes for eachother's rotations, or the one originally farming being forced to adapt to the new guy, despite that would have been better if the new guy had caught up. Special shoutout goes out to the guy I come across every day, the guy who is farming but fail to acknoweldge the chest 3 ft away from him. You know, the chest I'm standing next to while shooting him to get his attention. I've come to the conclusion that 80 % of the population must be blind.

          • Hive Majors- Sword of Crota with Heroic on- kill the three Hallowed Acolytes in the Hellmouth entrance, hurl self off map, repeat until done. Fallen Majors- Venus, near the Archon Priest Strike entrance. There is a Reaver Captain with a short respawn timer, just chest hunt while picking him off OR Archive with heroic on, dont kill Simiks 3, kill his Reaver Buddies instead. Vex Majors (Seen this bounty one time, never again) Just do one loop around Venus, and you should be done in no time. Cabal Majors (?) Chest run near the Yellow Centurion with a short respawn timer.

                • I found a better spot on Venus for Fallen majors. It's right below the public event where you stop the Vex from sacrificing themselves. In that dark pond just below it you will find a group of Dreg majors or Shank majors. It alternates. Same spawn timer, but 3 enemies instead of one.

                    • Generally speaking, I think Destiny isn't set up well for general etiquette. Many of the gameplay mechanics and the design decisions implemented in Destiny are so bizarre, and not very well explained to the casual player - or set up well enough to be idiot-proof and fair. It kind of makes things get pretty silly since there is simply a barrier hampering easy to use communication methods. Which might be a good thing since I think a large percentage of the community whines a bit loudly... Anyway, I dunno. I understand what you're saying, but I don't think its worth vesting enough interest into in order to feel slighted by a RandomPlayerPerson in the event they make PvE a bit more bothersome than it normally is. I know I've kicked myself for a lack of courtesy I've shown while grinding. I go into single player mode and forget to pay enough attention, occasionally. The game isn't worth intentionally being rude to someone else over.

                    • This is why you don't have an always on multiplayer bungie. 3 times while trying to do a bounty some douchebags decide hey I'm just gonna sit here and dance. Great -blam!-ing design choice there.

                      • For hive just do sword of crota on lvl 11. There's 4 when you get to no respawn. Wipe and repeat. Also when you leave and come back you'll spawn right back there.

                      • Nah. Whenever I need hive or fallen there's always a dick near the room preventing them to spawn Then when I melee them away and get the enemies to spawn; then purposely walk in front of me to make me miss bullets So I do what I did in the loot cave; sit at spawn Cuz people are real shitty. And side note; you can get the kill just by being near the person. Some guy was hunting yellow cabal and I was tired if competing with him so I just followed him and got my 200 tears and cabal major thing done. Tl;Dr if you're a jerk Imma make your life hell. Most people.don't believe in sharing is caring

                      • When I get the kill 10 hive ultras, there's a spot on the moon right before the entrance to some caverns that two hive Knight ultras spawn in. I'll kill them, run around the moon and see if I can find any other ultras or supers, and then run back in a continuous loop until I get it. That way I'm not constantly spawn killing them and that gives other players a chance to kill them if it happens that I'm not there.

                      • Yesterday I just did Sword of Crota twice on 24 and racked up all the hive major kills. I think this is the fastest guaranteed way to get the bounty. Plus playing with the sword is always fun!
