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.

My friends and i all do our Cryptarching together so we can all laugh at eachothers misfortune. Fuck the cryptarch.
 
I hope Bumgie plays with us a little and adds in some Lore to the Cryptarc by having him end up being Xur on the weekends, selling our exotics and legendary engrams, and his apprentice or something works the Cryptarc vender during the weekend.

Got the stability upgrade on my Silvered Hushwind...holy shit auto rifles are easy to use. I have not lost a proper 1 vs 1 gunfight with this gun yet. Once you're aiming at their head, there's close to zero spread. Extremely close.

It doesn't feel right using one after I came up using hand cannons, but damn. I really see why autos dominate PvP.

Yeah, the 25 strikes are pretty soul crushing. I will suggest you do the moon strike on the lowest difficulty, as you only have to do one multi-wave door before you can make a mad dash to the boss room. If you're with randos, just let the boss kill you when you get there and they'll spawn with you. Fastest way to do it.
Is that for the 25 Strike grind? Or the first Strike I have to do?

I've seen conflicting things about that. The description says to do the weekly or nightfall strike but some are saying that any heroic strike will work.

Hah, I've gotten Legendary weapons from Blues, so dont lump me in with you peasants! :p

The Cryptarch is my homeboy :D

I can confirm that a level 24 strike through match making worked for me on the first part of that exotic quest.

Anyone want to do some Weekly Heroic Strikes on XB1? Thought it would be a good time to get in some for more coins as Xur will be coming back.
 
I have enough strange coins for both an exotic weapon and piece of armor and enough motes of light for 2 exotic engrams. Xur needs to hurry the fuck up.

Yes, I know he comes at a set time.

That's a good haul! :D

I'm still miffed I rolled a Hunter piece when I bought my Exotic Engram last week. Disassembled it for Shards though, which was good.

Well damn, that certainly makes the start a bit easier. It's baffling how many of these descriptions are incorrect in the game. Equally baffling is why the weekly Strike doesn't have matchmaking.
 
Had first world problems last night, got a third exotic bounty and i destroyed it as they are taking up too much bounty space and as a player who is lvl 26 and has never had a legendery/exotic armour drop, i find this quite funny.

Has anybody got the Needler? I loved the way it looked and I assume its a powerful weapon too. I wonder how can one get it.

I farmed on the moon for 2 hours and didn't get any purple engrams. I thought I'd try some crucible instead but it turns out only the worst players get rewarded the good stuff. :/

Based on the fact that the Weekly Heroic strike is level 22, I'm going to assume that any level 22 or 24 strike will count for the first part while any strike at all counts for the 25 you have to do for the second part of the chain.
 
I purchased a Dead Orbit emblem by mistake and I found while wearing it I get 10 ponts of rep with the Dead Orbit sales dude.

Now I have 8 Motes Of Light which the Speaker seems to be the only own who has things for sale using that. Emblems are 7 Motes of Light

the question is where does the Rep points go if I buy and where one of these special Emblems like BLESSING OF THE WATCHER?

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.

.

I have no idea what I did in the game, and why. Why is the Black Garden so important?

If the Vex are so bad ass, then why is the Cabal the enemy on Mars?

4 factions, no story to back anything up.

Maybe they should have gone with one faction in this first game and flesh shit out.

You could have used those two hours to get marks & rep to progress your vanguard via bounties, strikes & patrols and done better. Dont understand why people are so obsessed with farming smh.
 
I have to do that exotic bounty which requires a Weekly Heroic Strike, and of course it's the summoning pits one -_- if anyone wants to help out I would really appreciate it. Tried it on my own last night and got stuck decoding the door.

I'm on PS4 btw - please quote or PM me! :)

Finally finished the story. Just...what.

I love me some Bungie, but this was seriously a terrible narrative.

4th time in a row now on the Nexus strike people kill themselves before the boss to keep doing that certain spot where loads of Goblins are for drops.

This shit is annoying.
 
you can toggle factions by equipping items. no way to screw it up really.

But if I join a faction now because I like one of the items. I will need to start collecting reputation points all over right?

I already bought the arm band, but if I have 28 Vanguard points already, I think I should reach where I can buy a rare item then shift?

I'm just trying to figure things out. It's kinda complicated to be honest

There's a lot of really annoying player behavior in Strikes. :-\

What? You expect us to PLAY the game??? Pshaw!

(I agree with you. People in this thread are craaaaaaaaaazy. What's happened to gamers where they are willing to just mindlessly farm instead of actually playing the game. Crazy.)

Part 2 of my exotic bounty... Can someone translate what the hell "get a kills/death spread of 25" even mean?

for every kill you get 1 point, for every assist you apparantly also get 1 point. For every death you loose one point.. counts cross games. You need to reach 25.. easier than it sounds

You can switch back and forth and not lose your progress within a faction.
