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.

I need you to tell me how to do this. I need you to tell me how to do this right now.
 
Damn so what did I miss? Xur had something that converted your glimmer to strange coins? Was it a legit feature he had for sale or was it something that shouldnt have been there? Bit bummed that I missed that since Im sitting on 20k glimmer with nothing to use it on.
 
Motes of Light are earned by simply earning XP. Bounties, beacons, PvP, killing stuffs, everything. At every point you'd have leveled prior to 20, a mote will be generated and pop right into your inventory. Additional random chances for Motes of Light come from completing Crucible matches, completing Vanguard Strikes, in loot chests, or in any type of engram.


From Hawkian's guide post.

Is there anyway to see how much more XP I need to 'rank up' and get my next mote?

I have been getting rare engrams every few pvp game and 50% of the time or at least to me, when I get them decypted it turns into a strange coin.

So infinite strange coins by just buying them over and over and vaulting them with alt characters confirmed?

No, because apparently Bungie outright removed the ability to buy strange coins.

Good job people :(

Open your character profile, and hover the cursor over your level. It will display a popup with the XP bar towards the next Mote.

Looking to do the weekly strike on PS4!

I'm a level 27 hunter using a legendary hand cannon. I'd like to go for hard difficulty, at the very least.

Add me on PSN: xlaokilx

Sad to see that lucky Raspberry is the Exotic Hunter gear for the week. No desire to get that so I'll just save my coins... Getting the engram though. Wish me luck!

Me and two friends tried the Heroic weekly strike last night and got destroyed (mostly by the bosses' minions -- those damn Knights!). Any tips to beating that boss? We're usually too caught up fighting the smaller guys to do real damage to him.

Here's a way to cheese that boss fight:

At the start when you enter, head left and ONLY kill enemies on the ground, ignore enemies on top of the platforms. Don't shoot at Phogoth until you've dispatched of the ground enemies while you're on the left path. Head all the way to the back near the stairs, there will be some rocks where you can go behind, and another set where one person can hide. Position yourselves with 2 at the bottom and 1 at the top of the rocks, then fire at Phogoth. Take turns with aggro, and there will be no more adds at this point.

Anyone else need to do the final stage of the Thorn bounty? It's a bitch of a mission with a big emphasis on Arc and Solar for enemy shields.

i mistakenly tried it alone and got bum rushed by those three wizards before i could even open the locked door. everything was pretty easy to that point but those three have a lot of shields, are powerful, and are crazy crazy aggressive. need at least one more tonight to try again.

Sucks people missed the "free" coin, but fuck people for abusing it. Good example of ass hats ruining it for everyone.

So they patched this already?

EDIT: Seems like they did. That sucks. Didn't get a chance to participate in it at all. They should open it up for those who didn't get to use it at all at least once for each character.

For PS4 is there way to switch the notification you received a message to the right side of the screen. Having that notification pop up during crucible right over the radar has forced me to disable the notification, but now it's pretty easy to miss a new message.

For me the Death From Above seemed buggy when I used it in PvE or PvP. So many times I was primed to Superman down but instead it switched to the regular Fist of Havoc and even worse shot me straight down and not forward like usual.

Maybe it was something I was doing wrong?

Does Death From Above require a certain height of time in the air to work?

It took me a few tries to figure it out, but yes, you need to be at a certain height. I always use double jump before unleashing FoH.
 
So Bungie actually removed it for everyone, even if you have never made the trade on your account? Thanks a fucking bunch, Bungie. Let's reward people sitting at home on a Friday morning and fuck over people who are at work. GG

No Idea why this pisses me off so much. It's a fucking game...
Fix this shit Bungie. I expect the deal to be back up by tomorrow. Just make it a one time thing per week per account.
Yeah this sucks can't just change the game and change the rules like this

Since xur has the same warlock gloves ad last week does anyone think he will still have them next week? I won't have enough coins till next week and I don't want to spend marks on boots and then these gloved be gone next week or spend marks on gloves and replace them with xurs exotics next week.

What is combined arms? I searched for it in matchmaking but was out in a control match then a clash match. Is it not a separate mode?

I need to do the weekly strike tonight EST, I'll repost tonight to get a couple folks.

It sucks so bad there isn't an in game clan thing so we have to resort to using a forum.
 
deconfirmed. Bungie found out hot patched.

They should give Xur special bounties or something and he pays you coins to do them, that'd be cool. Something unique, like dance on the control flag for 1 minute without dying I dunno

This post is perfect. Bungie, are you reading this? Hot fix it like you did Xur's coins

lawl.

realized I was close to enough marks for my chest so I did the daily story and one public event and hit up Cayde-6.
I am pretty sure I'll be able to hit 27 without needing any more ascendant shards too.

still haven't opened a single legendary engram.

And with that, i'm off to ATL for the weekend

peace <3

Please share. And thank you. And is there any way to delete my third character?
