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.

You get Motes of Light for "levelling" up, hover your pointer over your Level 20 in the menu, and it'll tell you how far away from your next Mote you are.

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

Yeah, I thought crucible matches would be completed quicker. It's more of a time constraint, either way I can't go further unless I get lucky or want to waste hours grinding for rep.

Anyone else think that Buckshot Bruiser Bounty is ridiculous? It's the only bounty I have left and I have no progress on it at all. It sees impossible.

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.

I respectfully disagree. The problem is people perceive the dropped engrams as easier than grinding for rank. I don't think it is, but that appears to be the perception people have. Meanwhile some of us are sitting on 200 crucible and 200 Vanguard marks waiting for the vendor to appear tomorrow so that we can make informed purchasing decisions.

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.

Well i think im calling it a night. Was farming the cave in Russia while trying to farm the last couple vanguard marks from the public event. Managed to come across 3 legendary engrams in the 45 min i spent there. All turned to be blue, leveled up cryptarch in process legendary engram in mail... yup blue as well. 1 for 7 on the day for purple engrams becoming legendary. Thankfully got a good bit of coins out of the day as well.

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.

I only got my first Legendary a day or two ago (Rocket Launcher) from an Engram, so my others are still Rare. an Exotic AR would make me very happy indeed, especially since my group's on the final boss of the Raid.

On a side note, I'd love to see Bungie (eventually) open up a Land War PvP mode that allows for 12v12.

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

Some guy on reddit did a Public Event timer.

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.

The exact same fucking thing just happened to me. We probably needed about 5 minutes max to complete. Fucking heart breaking and infuriating.

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.

It is one of the most satisfying and challenges things I've done in gaming. Going in fresh and not knowing anything about it, rather than following a guide/being with people who know what they're doing makes it so much better. It must have taken a collective 10+ hours to complete but it was a lot of fun. I wish I could go through it with ya!

Oh and I hear it can be tricky to get through just the door but we somehow managed to do it first time in just a few minutes xD

I ran the earth strike on easy about 20 times today for my exotic bounty

Ended up getting 2 legendary engrams for a purple mg and a purple chest

I purchased faction gear earlier today. I understand the intended method of leveling and the efficiencies associated with it. I just think finding loot in-game is a heck of a lot more fun than buying it. And the drop rates are abysmal.

Yo I just turned in a random legendary engram I got while putzing around on Moon patrol and it rolled Patience and Time, an exotic sniper.

I really have no desire to use snipers but it looks pretty cool; you keep radar and gain active camo whenever you ADS.

Yeah, because always online screwed up your splitscreen session with your fireteam, right?

Agreed. whichever developer decided that it would be a good idea that purples could turn out to be blues or even greens needs to be... Re educated.

Anyone heard if Xur will have new items or the same from last week? I really want that exotic helm for my hunter and those arms for my titan, but I'm guessing its on some sort of rotation.

Well it said stock refresh in 5-6 days during the time he was there, so I'm pretty sure it will be different items this time.

What? You can't do split screen. And yes the always online aspect of the game will be what screwed it up. If you lose connection you get thrown back to the main menu.

If that'd happened as we were about to kill the last boss in the raid I'd have gone madddddd.

Xur. Please have cool stuff I want under your cloak of mysteries. I have 38 strange coins I'm willing to part ways with for your troubles and 20 motes of light. Just bring me an Exotic Auto Rifle and I won't tell people about your strange diet breh.

My point is that he is playing with a fireteam, so how is he going to do that without being online? I really thought I was pointing out the obvious here.

Plus in case of the raid there are checkpoints, so you could actually get at least a decent chunk of your progress back, with the strikes you'll have to start from scratch.
