hah, same.
Same thing happened to me. Managed to get both Vanguard and Crucible to rank 1.
Doing the bounties, it's a lot more manageable. Oddly enough, I got 3 legendary engrams simply doing my bounties along the way. Of course I didn't get jack shit from them.
I prefer the token method of getting legendary gear: you get a token that probably reads some cheesy flavor text like "Legendary Guardian Helmet Frame" or "Legendary Guardian Gauntlet Frame" or w/e. You take this token to some specific vendor who sells legendary gear for all classes with all sorts of stat setups, and then you trade your token for gear you think you need to buy.
That way the randomness is doesn't effect what class legendary gear is for.
Also, I think bosses should drop a guaranteed piece of gear. Septkis Prime could always drop blue headpieces for example. In harder modes, he could drop purple headpieces.
I'm not sure if we can meddle with where the PSN notification pops, but I have had it cover the radar, so I'll definitely bring it up if it's not been communicated internally (99% it will have been).
Same here, PvP for lyfe.

I would love this too.
only people that say this are the people that never play blade dancer. they've got the most difficult ult to use in the game by far and it doesn't even pop orbs for teammates either. the damage resistance is weak too. a lot of the favors you see them getting are entirely because of lag
and if you think that all blade dancers can get that multi-kill, you're very, very wrong. the bad/average ones are even more free than warlocks
The problem is that the grunts constantly keep you from fighting the boss.
Blade Dancer needs to be a 2 hit kill personally
Homestly Warlock should lose its damage reduction when it's shooting its giant orb, Titan is at such a huge disadvantage unless he uses the purple orb, which no one will use because it's a subclass and it doesnt kill or give points

Anyone else going on Remote Play patrols while watching football today?
Yeah, I'm just gonna focus on bounties. I'm close to Vanguard level 2 and that opens up the Vanguard legendary items. The problem is the Vanguard Marks weekly limit.

I wonder why, every other strike has matchmaking. Is there an actual legit reason for this?

No. Increase the drop rates, then yes.
Suppose to be to hard for matchmaking group to complete, its not like that at all though.

Like Raids, Bungie has said that it is "too hard" with matchmaking and they want you to go and plan it out with friends.
As if I have the time, I can barely keep up with work/life. Just let me jump in with two people and give me a mic option for matchmaking.
fffuuuu
Oh weird; sorry I missed this earlier. Has it reappeared or have you got any of the others? Should you have had it?
I should have had the Heroic/Legendary ones and the one for four out of six games, but not seen hide nor hair of them. The one for registration before 2013 took a while to show up, though.

It doesn't really make any sense to nerf the bladedancer anyway, it's really easy to get yourself torn up before even netting a kill if you don't pick the right times to use the super.
Good point, if they added one now I guess it would be pretty bland.

Is anyone up for the Weekly Heroic Strike? I've successfully completed it twice and am 25, but I need it again for a special bounty.
My PSN is AmethystEnd
Edit: Only need 1 more person now.

I think they need to make the adds/grunts be chained to the boss
Kill the whole wave adds, without anyone dying, boss now for 30 secs takes 100% damage
Workout something like that

iunno, the one strike on venus took Spawn, Math and I some serious coordination to beat on a higher difficulty. Granted, it took us a while to nail the strategy, which may very well become common knowledge; nevertheless, I don't think we'd be able to pull off that level of teamwork with random groups on a consistent basis even with proximity chat
They should put matchmaking in the daily story heroic, definitely not doing that on my own.
Also, is there really any need for the amount of adds you get during boss fights? Hardly even damaged Phogarth then while trying to just keep adds at an minimum, before everyone getting wiped by 10 new adds and the bosses beam attack.

Guys played with the fan Easter egg on the tower? It's amazing.
Explain..or pics?
I play with two other friends but getting 6 to play at the same time? Not gonna happen.
They must include matchmaking.
Really?
It's taken me around 4-5 hours doing strikes to get from 20 to 22. Guess I should have been doing PVP.
Does it matter at all if you suck at it? I only average around 12 kills per match.

That's it? That's just bullshit. Why not just give us the option, I sorta understand no matchmaking with the raid if everything they're saying about it needing coordination and puzzles is actually true.
But the Heroic strikes are no different than regular strikes, the enemies just have more Health and some skull modifiers.
If it's anything like the beta, you can jump on the fan and go flying.
I'm up for the weekly strike. SuperYlvis
Yeah between work and school, I can only play for an hour or two a day from 9-11 PM. I'm not going to be able to plan out events.

"man, fuck this shit b. keep getting matched with these wack ass players. watch me quit this shit."

"how come i'm winning now?"

Not just bland, but kind of abusive for players that play more. I guess this is true currently, but I think if the drop rate is good enough on loot then you have the option of farming for loot yourself with more time or use glimmer to buy something you may need to upgrade. If given a preference I would prefer no AH and higher droprates on a larger variety of loot, but if the question was for if they added an AH then this is my answer.
i think i should have received two from my own recollection, and i did receive two, but now only have one. i'll have to dig up those emblem rewards to identify which one the missing on is and if i truly should have had it though. its not a huge loss, as there are so many to chose from i'll likely find one i prefer, but i could definitely see myself rocking the bungie fist permanently down the road
i think it was shield of mythics... which i dont think i deserved and may explain why it was taken from me :/
There is 3 or 4 tiers of difficulty options though, the standard level 22 option on the weekly seems perfectly fine for matchmaking imo.
I'm not amazing but I tend to go positive, our team wins 90% of our matches I think that helps.
I've only ever danced on it. O_O What have I been doing with my life!?
I need to get on that.

Yeah I have no idea what that is either.
Peach it! Being a good bladedancer means having to know where people scatter to. It's not a set it and forget it super. Just like when I see a warlock charging up I run to try and avoid the blast and sometimes I get lucky. Don't group up if you see a bladedancer, spread out if you can.

YEAHHHH
Got a Cruce chest armor from my last Clash battle and it pushed me over the Light level and I hit 21.
So it's basically a Badass Ranking isn't it.
Still best game.

Haven't got pics.
Get two players, go to the tower.
Both players go left at spawn, up the small steps, but turn right before entering the green "tower north" tunnel. Go up the stairs, and go to the point above the bottom of the stairs. You'll see grey tiles on the ground, go over them and press X/Square to "activate fan". The fan is the one on top of the special orders/postmaster building. Get the other player to jump onto the fan.
Voila.
Pretty much.

Forgive my ignorance (been offline the last day) but what exactly is "Nexus farming"? Is it just replaying the nexus strike?

Yeah but that's not an excuse to not put an option for mm.
Let people choose what they want to do.
And it's not like the puzzles will be something like myst. And after a couple runs you already know what to do.
It's just a poor design choice.

Has anyone else had issues "connecting to target player"? I can't join up to do the weekly it appears, on Xbone.
