This has reached a point where everytime I see a post about one of you with legendary engrams that worked, or with exotic weapons, I want you to get hurt lol. Almost feels like rubbing it in with this loot system


So fucking jelly

Dude I feel you.

The funny thing was I got both by not farming :/. I've been trying to get the reputation up for the Vanguards and Crucible. Hell, I got The Last Word off a drop from that Mars strike against that Mohawk dude, and I got Hard Light from bullshitting around in the Rocketyards in a chest while waiting for a AFK fireteam member while doing the Earth strike.

I gave up farming and bam.

Today, I got two Exotic weapons from Legendary Engrams.

Did Bungie fix the chances or did I get piss lucky?

Also, Exotic weapons take forever to level up.

Yeah I got those exotic Warlock Gauntlets and the moving bone arm/shoulder piece for hunter in the last 24 hours. That and a purple Titan Chest, purple Warlock legs, and a purple Hunter helm. And an Exotic Hawkmoon from Crucible. AND an exotic bounty for Bad Juju.

Before that?

Every purple and blue engram I decoded were low tier blues and greens. ALL OF THEM.

yikes, people complaining about a RNG game when it hasn't been 1 week yet, you guys are going to get burnt out

When the only thing left to play after going through the content in a day or two is to play the RNG to level up, there's a problem.

And even 6 marks is a shit reward given how long it takes to whittle down the health of these bullet sponge bosses. I'm not sure if it isn't better to just quickly run through the Level 20 Viper strikes versus wasting time with the Tiger playlist.

Both are wastes. Do patrol missions near Public Events you can solo while farming mats. 49 Vanguard marks to 89 Vanguard marks today due to that.

Plus one heroic daily mission.

Can we be level 25 for the Raid?

If I can group with some 26s, I think I'd be fine and do enough damage.

Here are the Exotic weapons I have:

So far I have had 2 level 20 characters and a level ten. Never seen a legendary for ANY of them. Haven't seen a legendary at all.

I can't get over the insanely strong aim assist in this game. It's constantly yanking on my crosshairs when I don't want it to. It makes the PvP play so terribly for me.

That's not even worth putting in spoiler tags. But yeah, believe it or not, that's the high point of the story.

You don't get a chance for seeing Legendaries, really, until 20, so that makes sense.

And yeah, two 20's here as well (well 20, almost 24). Both Titans, XB1 and PS4, holla. Big shout out to everyday math for tipping us off when shingen-E was for sale from the gunsmith, helped my lower level Titan on XB1 out.

Ive been stuck at 25 since yesterday. Done countless level 24 raids. Even managed to do Septis as a heroic and fought tougher enemies that normal. Still havent gotten anything to allow me to level up.

Tried doing PVP and ran into countless games where I got stuff that I couldnt use while people AFK and such got legendary engrams.

You seem to be making an assumption that
The Reef Queen is the one commanding the Stranger
which I don't believe is the case. Else they would've been expecting us.

Edit: I also don't really know if anything's truly worth using spoilers haha. Let alone this but meh, better safe than sorry.

Do you get Vanguard Marks from Patrol missions? Or is it the Public Events that you get them from? Does it matter if you have a faction item equipped or not?

So i just had something weird happen to me. I had two blue encrypts which I took to the crypto, and they both came out purples. Thats awesome, but not weird. The first turned out to be an epic class item for a warlock; i'm a titan and planning on using FWC, so i can't use it. BUT the item in question was one of the faction items for the New Monarchy that you wear to increase reputation. Thats a little weird, as i didn't know those could be drops.

And the second item turned out to be one of the Rank 3 faction guns, the crusader. That was really weird, as I'm almost certainly, logically at least, that those shouldn't be drops.

http://www.bungie.net/en/Legend/2/4611686018429064244/2305843009219569076#gear

Considering that both drops were from the same faction, i'm wondering if there was a bug, Maybe it accidentally pulled items from the wrong loot table. Has anyone heard about any of the faction items dropping?

The way I see it, endgame is currently as such:

1) Get to level 20.

2) Figure out which faction you want to do and level it. I stuck with Vanguard and Crucible.

3) Along the way, you'll get a ton of blues and a million greens. Eat all the greens to level up your blues to get as much light and much damage as possible.

4) Finally be able to do the Raid, which I think will drop purples. Swap out blue gear with purples.

5) Sooner or later, you'll be able to buy purple gear from the vendors. At this point, you can begin worrying about stats. True customization begins here.

Also does anyone think the raid will take place on
Mercury? Because if so, do you think we'll end up going to a new planet in the near future? I noticed in Rumble, we play on a Mercury map. It's also mentioned in the story how the Vex took it over and turned it into a planet-sized machine.
 
My entire team quits like 30 seconds into a Control match. I mess around and play the next five minutes by myself. My team fills up 30 seconds before the match ends and two of my teammates get legendary engrams. WTF

Spent a match trying to carry my team and this shit happens:

I was about 2,000 points above the guy in 2nd place. THANKS BUNGIE.

You'd rather play the game for 1 week and be in full purples and level 30? Have you ever played an RPG before?

"A week" is relative. That, plus I've played tons of RPGs but very few are so stingy with loot...to be a freaking loot based game.

Honest question: Can someone explain to me why the shops refresh items instead of just attempting to sell you all the stuff in your range? Or more realistically, at least attempting to sell you more than five, with at least two almost always being out of your level range. There's a reason, but I'm missing it yeah?

That's not even worth putting in spoiler tags. But yeah, believe it or not, that's the high point of the story.

This is where I just got to earlier this morning (haven't played much), and yeah I can see why. It's the high point because it's the closest thing approaching an actual story. First time you meet actual characters besides the ghost. First time the cutscenes (rather than the game) actually blew me away with visuals.

I actually got the crucible rep helmet as my first for-my-class legendary. It's funny because I'm about 2% of the rep bar away from being able to buy it.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be on Venus.
