So how many people used an auto rifle against bungie last night? I fell asleep while watching the stream where they lost their first match.

DAMMIT XUR. He has exotic for chest which I don't need. Ughhhhhhh. Why my luck so bad...sorry guys but I was just looking forward to actually upgrading.
 
Not sure if this has been posted but here's a public event timer:

http://freesbsquares.com/destiny/petimer.html

Woah. That's awesome!

I wouldn't mind a legendary drop timer. Or kill countdown. With my 15k kills producing exactly 2 legendary drops I could use a 7500 kill countdown for when to expect my next legendary engrem drop

"Oh Tali you fell in that vat of blue paint again didn't you"

lmao. Yeah that website does not do any favors for gear.

Afternoon all!

Could anybody please tell me Xur's prices?

Done my vanguard bounties for the day and feel very productive. Thanks Jingxs and Scoooooottttttttt ☀

Sorry Kyoubi stupid 3 person team limit.
 
Do you get +2 Light for every time you upgrade defence? I'm asking because Legendary and Exotic armour have more than one defence upgrade.

You get 2 and then 2 and 1 each for the for the vertical column. At least that's what I think it is. I got one of them and it added one. I reckon legendary armor gives you 25 light fully upgraded.

Do you guys remember Bungie saying, you can see where somebody was and what somebody did through the acquired gear? I'm laughing my ass off, so many lies!

Cant seem to see it online. How many strange coins does stuff cost with Xur?

I have 20 motes and 14 coins. Will that be enough for anything?

Oh and this is what I think of anytime I see people in Skywatch

If it was like that, you couldn't get to level 30. It has to be +2 for every upgrade (on legendaries)

This is the last time I'll broadcast this (i'm also about to go away for the weekend- save some Raiding for next week please!)....

For the duration of Xur's visit, if you have not used your third character slot, you can obtain infinite Strange Coins. It is confirmed working.

I do not endorse this kind of thing. The process is also boring as hell. However, I have been told that some people actually like it and/or will put themselves through anything to gear up as quickly as possible. You can also be extra prepared for his next visit.

If you haven't figured out how to do it, reply to this post. Just keep in mind that this was not intended, and while I doubt there'd be bannings (it's rather innocuous given that there's no trade economy), I do expect it to be patched somehow.

You can't get to level 30 with quality 70 legendaries (i.e. nearly all current legendaries). It requires hard mode raid legendaries which will have slightly higher base quality (I think 80).

Just completed the vault of glass, with a PUG group no less. A breeze until the final boss. That took a few hours. Now I'm actually interested to see how hard "hard" actually is. Atheon was the only boss I actually considered a boss mechanically etc. It took us 6 gate transitions to down him finally. This is starting to get interesting! One of my group members also got a legendary auto rifle that has void damage as its damage type too. I just got the white armor shader. At least I wasn't super unlucky like the kronick guy who just recieved a disgusting grey ship XD.
 
Anyone willing to help me do the weekly heroic strike and a level 26 moon strike later today at like 3:00 P.M Est on PS4? I am a level 25, and my PSN is the same as my neogaf name.

Xur will be around all weekend right?
Friday and Saturday.
I should be able to get 4 more coins over the weekend as long as he is around.
A lot more than that.

edit: Top of page, this is it. If you miss it you miss it.

I gambled, got excited for a second aaaaaand... well, you know Cryptarch.

Exact same thing happened to me! You just need to add me saying 'are you FUCKING kidding me'. Then, after my friends found out and laughed at me, I said 'fuck... EVERYBODY' and jumped off the cliff.

Then the exact same thing happened to BOTH of them... I'm just glad I finally have the exotic chest armor!! Plus I recently got Thorn and Super Good Time or something like that...

You get 2 and then 2 and 1 each for the for the vertical column. At least that's what I think it is. I got one of them and it added one. I reckon legendary armor gives you 25 light fully upgraded.

I head that legendary armor goes to +27 LIGHT max, while exotic goes up to +30 max. Not sure how accurate that is, though

So how does it work?

Don't highlight if you don't want to be tempted into repetitive farming all weekend.
  1. Create character
  2. Play up to tower
  3. Go to Xur
  4. Glimmer is account bound- buy the Coin for 2401.
  5. Store in vault.
  6. When you run out of glimmer, farm it on your main.
  7. Repeat.
  8. Remember fondly how much better it was to hope for the gear you needed to drop from engrams.

Well, finished up Vanguard rank 2 tonight, grabbed some Xur stuff, and I should be set on the gear front for now. Just got to spend the rest of the week leveling this stuff up. Once I get that out of the way I can start up a PVP Titan character.


Funny enough I started a Warlock so I could look like a Kamen Rider, but this chestpiece makes me look like a medieval...space Warlock. :(

Just made a Hunter and a Titan and ran through to buy strange coins. If the story sequences were skippable I'd baleete one and do it again and again, but don't think I can stomach it, although slightly less boring than standing in front of a cave shooting into the darkness or WE'VE WOKEN THE HIVE!!!11

Was considering next time Xur is around buying an engram with a Titan and letting him see if he's got any better luck than my Warlock at getting Warlock gear. 5 legendary and one exotic pieces of armour all for Hunter and 1 for Titan, none for Warlock, it feels like the result weighted away from the current character. Either that or the game just hates me.

Yes he should be around until Sunday morning. Last week he disappeared 6 hours earlier than intended though, so I wouldn't recommend waiting until Sunday if you can help it.

Mehhhhh I got better things to do.

Hmmm, I'll bite. Might help me break even after destroying so many dreams with the Cryptarch lol.

I can't stop laughing at that picture. Bungie's shitty website rendering has some glorious results. I'm sure your character looks perfectly fine in the game itself though. :p


Well.. you said it, but I was certainly thinking the same.

I am so happy with my Chest of Alpha Lupi on my Huntress... hell it looks sexy :)
