What's the best way to be earning Strange Coins? I'm hoping to snag those Titan gauntlets before the weekend ends. But I don't think that's going to be happening at this rate.


it does, don't worry. First upgrade is great. Wait Shoulder Charge and Superman Fist of Havoc too.

The Weekly Strike gives out 3 for Level 22, 6 for Level 26, and 9 for Level 28. If you do Level 22, then do 26, you'll still only get another 3.

I recommend just sticking with PvP or try doing Public Events.
 
people tend to switch weapons with the map type and tempo of the game. if i'm on twilight gap, i'm not going to be the guy without a shotgun. the moon? bastion? very different. maps like burning shrine or exodus blue offer a bit of everything so you'll see a lot more diverse loadouts.

I'd be okay with this if it didn't mean starting out with <1/2 ammo. Kind of wish there was as pre-match lobby where we could see the map, maybe even vote on it, and tweak loadout.
 
how do you guys feel about the richochet bullets upgrade? I'm trying it, it's kinda fun, but ultimately I'm not convinced if it's worth the trade off.
 
OMG... the one time I'm not recording I get a kick ass game where I brought my team from 3,000 to win it by 100 points in Control. Joined lated too.

Oh well, it was fun!
 
It does. The first upgrade turns it into something of an awesomerocket, there's this dead ghost on the moon that me and 2 other guys were trying to get to, past a tricky jump. Me and the other Titan got it almost immediately, and then we had to wait half an hour for the Warlock to finally make it up there :P
Haha, good to hear.
 
I think from all the talk about purple and exotic engrams usually not dropping their colors, I'll go into the level 20+ loot grind expecting that so I hopefully won't be disappointed.

...hopefully
 
Holy fuck, is anyone else getting error 'bee' OVER AND OVER? This is fucking stupid, every hour I get dropped from whatever I was doing like 3 times. It's super fun replaying story missions 2 times in a row, and never being able to finish a match of PvP...

Lots of people are experiencing that. At this point we should just put the game back on shelves and wait for a patch to come. It's unplayable at the moment for many of us.
 
guys, it's only a few days, give time for RNG to work for you
Agreed, finding it a bit ridiculous that people are complaining about a lack of legendaries, or not getting exactly the type of legendaries they want. It's only been a few days. As a lvl10 I'm glad not everyone who has a ton of time to grind is swimming in legendaries.

It's not a "lack of legendaries" problem. People who simply aren't getting them are fine. It's the "legendary engram decrypts into a rare/uncommon/mats/unusable item" thing that's the problem.
 
It sucks but getting my head smashed in playing Crucible really is the best way to get good loot. Played for about an hour tonight and walked away with about 6 new weapons better than anything I had previously, a legendary engram, and new gauntlets that got me to Level 21. Compare that with about half a dozen runs in Vanguard Strikes that really only netted me a helmet. Given the time commitment for Strikes compared to Crucible matches, I think that's really weak.
 
Here I am level 20. With two level 21s.

I join them in the weekly strike.


How naive was I.

The Electric Eye/Septic Prime motherfucker wasnt even the problem. It's the mob of enemies. They can kill you in like 2-3 shots. We were forced to repeat that thing like 5 times before the strategy of hiding in that little room to the side started to pay off.

Funny enough it took us less time in that that in the 22 Vanguard Strike. Those enemies are impossible once again, and the Nexus' shots could kill us in like 3-4 hits. Then after dying a couple of times we found a strategy of one guy staying above to prevent the mission from failing, and the other two of us just constantly dying over and over again and getting a couple of shots at the Nexus.

I shit you not it must've taken us like 30-40 minutes to beat him with this strategy. If the Vault of Glass is worst than this for level 25 people, I can see why you'd need a halfway point. Fuck that difficulty spike. And now I'm level 21 sure, but more than 3/4s of my gear is still <= level 18.


Good thing is that I now have 6 strange coins. Two questions:

1. Can somebody confirm that we ONLY need strange coins to buy the exotic shit from the vendor? I hope there's no 'X level 3 required' bullshit.

2. Where do you guys recommend farming strange coins? I know public events and the weekly strike are options, anything else though?

Well my teammate isn't ready to do the 26 yet so I'll have try patrols for publics. PvP has just been keen on delivering motes instead of the things I want. Thanks though!

new ship
 
I don't get the hate,but maybe it's because I'm not rushing through it/capped out yet. It could also be that I'm more casual these days. I get immense enjoyment out of just doing those patrol missions and getting surprised by the public events.




Looks like a donkey or giraffe head.
 
Is there really nothing you can buy at Crucible Rank 1?

I can't buy any of the shit I want at vanguard or crucible rank 1 lol, it fucking sucks. At this point I'm just gonna stick with vanguard instead of going with a company I think, since I'm already somewhat on my way to getting it to level 2 I guess so I can buy my bond.

mind boggling, I expected to at least be able to buy boots or gloves

NEED 1 for weekly 22 strike
 
Finally hit level 20 last night after a round of random Crucible after a crash prevented me from fun time with GAFireteam. Urgh, I still hate the moon map immensely.
