Just finished the level 24 Dust Palace Strike with two randoms. Holy shit! We were under leveled like all hell. Took about an hour and a half to beat. So glad we stuck it out. Things were looking grim a couple of times. Managed to go with no wipeouts. I love this game.

What do you guys spend your Glimmer on when you hit the cap? I'd rather still be earning Glimmer then letting it go to waste. I can't believe the cap is at 25K.
Special/Heavy Ammo Synthesis. It's clutch, useful even in easy content, not that expensive, and stackable. best investment for your glimmer.

Dust Palace is my favorite strike.

Hey DreadfulOmen man, I'm really sorry, I was trying to talk to you and explain what I'm up to but I had no idea if you were hearing me... :(

I really regret spending all my motes of light on a decorative item now.

I have no clue what to do with my obscene amounts of glimmer.

Having finally played Titan, Warlock and Hunter to level 20. I have to say Titan feels completely half-assed. Most of TItans best abilities never get used in Raids or heroic Strikes, and overall their abilities(Talent tree?) seem to synergize poorly

Playing a Defender is an exercise in boredom especially, saving your special for reviving allies is its best use. This is all from a PvE stand point, after having done the Raid earlier tonight.

Shield facilitates huge damage and circular orb creation if your team does a good job. Spawn shield, shield takes damage and spawns orbs of light, melee spawns orbs of light, hunters and warlocks unleash supers and spawn orbs of light, spawn shield and rotate.

Special and especially Heavy ammo synthesis. Unload your full heavy weapon on a boss, synthesize and do it again, and you'll realize that you don't miss the 950 glimmer.

edit: Upgrading the Cryptarch is also good if you really, really like sadness and disappointment.

Finished the campaign, the last fight was cool.

The ending was just laughable "this isn't over yet" , didn't really feel like I was fighting for anything.

My opinion.

Farming is stupid, go play the game.

Vanguard Rank 2
FWC Rank 3 (Gave me free legendary hand cannon)
200 vanguard marks (haven't spent 1 yet)
20 crucible marks Left (spent 180)

Equipped right now:
2 Legendary armor's
1 exotic armor
2 legendary weapons

Not from farming
Not from engrams
All hard earned.

Once again, play the game.

Farming is useful for things besides gear, Motes of Light and Strange Coin in particular. Yeah, if you're farming in hopes of finding a nice legendary weapon or gear piece, you're wasting your time. Grinding rep is a better way to spend time and doesn't take as long as you might think. In the 5 days since I've started really focusing on Vanguard Rep, I've gone from Rank 0 to Rank 2. Another week and I should be at 3 and then I can tell RNGesus to go fuck himself.

This game hates me..

I tried the farming on the moon where the hive door breaks open, did it for like 40 mins.

Got 3 blue's and 1 purple. Went back to the tower, blue's turned out to be totally crap and the legendary turned out to be a green weapon.

Because of the blue's my cryptarch level'd to 5 and gave me two legendarys, one turned out as a green and the other as a blue revolver with shit stats.

Guess i'll have to be really patient.

Awesomesauce. I have lots of things to trade with him.
Not two hours, I heard more like 8.
Everyone's using it or its shoot-a-likes, so it'd be unfair to you not to use it.
Feels much more satisfying to drop people using it with my canned hannon.

Please. I have 60 hours in this game and have rolled 2 legendaries and bought 1. Dont even worry about grinding drops. Grind rep so you can buy what you want or need. Rep wont go away.

I'm going to start this way, don't that much time to play so rep grinding is the best way for me i guess.

I've done well enough with the hand cannon too. But the Shingen and Cydonia are far more consistent, thus why everyone is using it. If you miss with a hand cannon, you're fucked.

Unless you're enjoying it, don't do this. the came doesn't intend for you to progress this way. Read up if you want more info! :)

Need 1 more for some Level 24 strikes. Levels 21+ welcome, Hawkian on PS4
 
Had a "legendary" night tonight, so to speak. First off, got an exotic weapon bounty. I took the one for the Pulse Rifle. I'm not a huge fan of Pulse Rifles, but looks like I'm going to have to start using one. Thanks to fellow gaffer biteren, got the weekly heroic strike done to finish off the first part of the bounty. One member went AFK at the part where you wait for the runes to decode, and we 2-manned that entire area, which blew my mind. Decoded a blue afterwords which ranked up my Cryptarch and I got a package with 3 legendaries, one of which turned out to be a purple armor THAT WAS FOR MY CLASS. Since that was my first purple armor, even pushed me from 24 to 25. Also got my Vanguard rank up and enough marks to buy a second piece of armor, although I think I'm gonna wait on the second piece since I don't think 2 purple armors is enough to get to 26, might as well wait until either I have 130 marks or I get a legendary drop. Don't want to get the same piece twice.

does anyone know how the Crucible part of the Exotic Pulse Rifle bounty works? I know it's a point system like other similar bounties, but are there negative points in this one?

I found the story to be a comedy.
The darkness is so dark is absorbing other darkness...

So why are they afraid of the Black Heart again? Crap was so weak...
Oh man, I am going to animate bunch of statues while I am flowing in the air helplessly that you can kill me if you wanted to with a sniper gun, but I have plot armor that you must kill these grunts first before shooting me in the face at pointblank.
Great writing Bungie, great writing.

Okay Bungie, with the money from this game, you should start hiring actual writers.
Maybe get your little kids to help you out if you want to save money.
I am pretty sure they are more creative than the current team members.

If you go from the front with it, you get fucked by anyone using a shotgun. But it's pretty damn satisfying to interrupt a fight with a flying tackle instantly taking a guy down. I almost never get away with a tackle on someone who's looking at me though.

If they look straight at you use the should bash to quick move to the side then fusion/shotgun

My favorite is the flying unidirectional knee of one it kill.

My friend was saying to buy engrams that way you could increase your Cryptarch Rank. Do you think this could be a good idea?
No.

It is an awful idea.

So far as we know, raising your Cryptarch level does nothing but get you more engrams to give to the the Cryptarch, so that he can disappoint you more.

Guys- the sooner you start looking at the Cryptarch as a villain the more you'll enjoy this game.
