12 strange coins.

Already did the Normal difficulty Weekly.

Xur arrives tomorrow. Woe is me. How the hell to get an extra coin? :(

I've gotten 2 today within 2 hours of each other, first one was from a blue engram, second one was from a public event.

Now I'm just waiting for Xur to spawn

Wait, primary weapons can have damage types?

Certain special Legendaries can, I think it might be a raid only exclusive thing. Another guy got a Void damage Auto Rifle. Cray cray.

Thank you RNGesus for 3 Ascendant shards, it more than equals a cray cray weapon. I swear this game will stop at nothing to keep Legendary Primaries away from me :(

well I dont like to play the multiplayer part of the game so I am not really earning any crucible marks. I am however trying to get my vanguard marks up

I don't really like Crucible either. Played 5 games because I accidentally picked up a Bounty before I understood what it was. Fastest way to earn rank and marks is to do Events and Patrol on earth.

Note. The picture in this thread says Blind Steppes. It is just Steppes. He who made the picture got it wrong. Blind Steppes is where you spawn when you start a new character. You can't get there.

Your main rotation should be
XX:00 be at Mothyards
XX:10 be at Divide
after done wait around Steppes and see if there is an event around until about XX:25
XX:30 be at Mothyards
XX:40 be at Divide
after done wait around Steppes and see if there is an event around until about XX:55

Is there anything known about the exotic engrams? I'm planning on getting one tomorrow and I'm wondering if I'll just end up with blue gloves or something.
 
17 Strange Coins, 6 to go...

Wasn't it 13 Coins for an armor piece and 23 Motes of Light for the Exotic Emblem? Was the weapon 23 Coins?

The Exotic Engram will be a guaranteed Exotic, but it may be for a different class than yours.

Welp, got a Legendary Gauntlet engram and got the same Legendary gauntlets that I already had. Trashed it and got two ascendant shards, not bad.

seriously, I'm at a loss. I have only 2 crucible bounties I can do. I'm still at level 0 in the ranking. The game refuses to drop me anything over rare. I haven't seen a rare bounty at all. So it seems like I just have to grind crucible until I'm rank 2 to buy legendary stuff. This is shit Bungie. I'm locked out of doing content in my game because of bullshit randomness and not having the time to sit around all day and grind rep points to buy the armor that would let me participate in all the content. Its a complete crock of shit.

thanks!

One problem I have when I play the game is that I have problems finding some areas I would like to visit, there is no world map !
Why Bungie didnt add a world map is beyond me. stupid!

Anyone 26+ want to help us try to get into the Vault right now on PSN? Add hawkian

Just messing around, don't want to really get any further than opening it up but DAMN i want to open it up.


edit: nevermind, fell apart.

We were RATHER close for a 5-man group with only one 26.

Raid seems fantastic.

Ooooooh I thought it was just the 13 coin armor and 23 mote engram
Nope.

Xur has 5 items a week: one guaranteed Exotic armour piece for each class for 13 Strange coins, a guaranteed Exotic weapon for 23 Strange Coins, and an Exotic Engram for 23 Motes of Light that can become a piece for any of the 3 classes.

Yeah.
Just got disconnected from a matchmade strike. We had been playing for 40 minutes had wiped 3 times and nobody disconnected. We were working together. It was a dream group. We had an uspoken resolve.

And then the game just dropped out.

The darkness is real and the travelers light is fading.

I'm preeeeetty bummed about the cave turning the game into a trivial skinner box. That said, the loot system is totally busted, so I don't blame folks.

This game is weird. Literally all of my purple engrams have ended up being rare armor/weapons, but all of my legendary/exotic equipment have come from blue engrams.

The logic in this game is confusing, but okay.

The more advanced weapons and gear is definitely changing ever so slowly over time how the crucible plays. And not for the best in my opinion. I still enjoy it, but man..

I can only imagine what iron banner is going to be like. I liked it in beta because it felt like everyone live longer. I have no idea how is going to play out this time around.

You can always try to get Vanguard to Rank 2. It's all PVE stuff, which may be less annoying than Crucible.

Damm I need 2 motes of light and 2 strange coins. Gnna have to play heroic strike lvl 26 tomorrow for the coins and pray for motes of light.
 
Fuck Bungie and always online.

I doing the Weekly Heroic Strike on Impossible Difficulty. I was on the final sliver of boss health with my fire team, literally probably two minutes left, and we all got kicked from the game. All progress lost, we'd have to start from the beginning again.

Fuck Bungie.

Fuck always online.

Hmm, I already have an Exotic weapon (Thorn), but if Xur sells an Exotic Scout Rifle tomorrow, I might just buy that. I only have 15 Coins at the moment, though.
