Are there any known helium filament farming runs? All of my gear needs them now ;__;

 

[postcyberpunk]

I hadn't been paying attention to my count of strange coins so when Xur showed up this weekend I took a look at his wares and found I had one strange coin... ONE.

I had one today, too. But I managed to get three from the Crucible and engrams. That Heroic Strike is HARD shit at level 21. We didn;t even make it to the end boss.

Legendary Auto Rifle (Unwilling Soul-09)

NICE.

 

[jay23]

Alright guys I need some advice, after I get crucible rank to 3 should I join a faction or continue ranking up vanguard(at 1 now)?
I noticed they don't have any armor for sale and I mainly play PvP.

 

[Kamina]

What are void weapons? >_>

The weapons with violet damage numbers in the menu.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Two people for the level 22 weekly strike? Im a 21 hunter

PS4 PSN: GKW212

 

[SkylineRKR]

If anyone needs to get the weekly strike done I am at the boss now on PS4. Solo'd him to 25% then wizards got me. Friend/message me if you can help. Thanks.

PSNID: Longhornbevo

I need it done but only level 24 Hunter.

 

[ILoveBish]

SHOCKER!

Anyone who expected actual story content or unique stuff was fooling themselves. Bungie are keeping future story and stuff like access to the locked areas of planets as DLC. They will not be giving that shit away for free when it's a game published by Activision and they can sell it. What we get is the base game (and the one raid) and then anything else is just modifiers/difficulties upon existing content and areas.

So if I want to shoot aliens, get cool loot, play with friends online in PvP and pve, I don't need any dlc? Story in this game is meaningless, just love the gunplay and it's fun to play.

A slow but sure method to beat phogoth is to stand in the doorway and shoot him until that annoying floating orb spawns in there, then run back towards where u entered and wait for it and the extra enemies to despawn then go back to shooting out the doorway. Rinse, repeat until he's dead. Occasionally u gotta kill some regular add spawns but a lot of what u see are the adds that spawn because ur standing in that room and the devs obviously dont want u standing there, but then they all disappear after a moment of being out of it.

Yep. This is what my clan does.

 

[RoKKeR]

So I just "finished" the story... I think?

Spoiler

Killed three bosses and the speaker told me good job and... that's it?

 

[hydruxo]

So did they patch the dark beyond spot? Just tried it and it reset after we died.

Spoiler

surprised it took them this long though tbh

 

[figadapaura]

The weapons with violet damage numbers in the menu.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

This monday, I was thinking to myself "Oh, that patch must've fixed the online issues I had", but now it's friday again, and I think it's pretty clear that the problem is that the servers are simply too loaded in weekends.

If you stick to a group of PSN or XBL friends in a fireteam you can rejoin the second you're disconnected. Worked pretty well for me and my buddies today.

They must have done something that made the performance worse. Because I had no trouble at all last week, even during the weekend. Then yesterday I got kicked back to orbit twice in the first 10 minutes of playing and then it was fine after that.

 

[Respawn]

Awwww Yes that new thread smell..

re posting in case he missed it.



yes it tracks collectibles and chests.

Are you serious??

 

[Yu Narukami]

Bought the exotic gauntlets with coins and of course got an exotic armor from the engram.

Yeah, if you want to keep doing what we've been doing then yeah. If you want to get into those locked placed that have been taunting you and that you can glitch inside and fully explore (minus encounters and triggers) then you'll have to pay for DLC.

Are you serious??

It doesn't. It has a compass that points North.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Got an exotic bounty but it wants me to go get 500 points worth of void energy or some shit in the crucible. NOOOOOOO

[hydruxo]

I got a legendary helm for a Titan yesterday, but that one Xur is selling looks awesome too. I can't decide if I should get the exotic or just hold off and see what he's got next week.

 

[Astral]

Is there a place on the moon where you can easily farm helium filaments or do I have to just ride around everywhere? It's really slow.

 

[zero margin]

Death From Above + Aftermath = Overkill

Hell, get rid of Headstrong for Aftershock since Headstrong is provided to you by one of the helmet's upgrades for Maximum Carnage!

Edit: I meant Headstrong not Aftermath. Don't get rid of that!

true that!

 

[DesertFox]

The spot to cheese the fusion rifle bounty???

 

[ethomaz]

The Exotic Engram always give Exotic armor?

 

[KodaRuss]

I need it done but only level 24 Hunter.

What's your psn? We can do it with another maybe

 

[weremichael]

I am so far behind on this thread. Hell, I was still in the last thread when I got home @ 4:20 PM. I love seeing all the gear that the RNGod is providing some of you with. It reassures me that good things are just around the corner for me and just a trip to the Cryptarch away (if he isn't being a total dick like usual).

Here is a post from the last OT that I wanted to comment to:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=130428161&postcount=11911

I was a touch late on this one, but I have to say that I can't wait to max out my sunsinger so I can remotely achieve something like this!

My Sunsinger is currently @ 21 and slowly amassing light and my Titan is coming along @ 9 and progressing when my wife and I find time to play together. I've really been happy with that subclass and can't wait to be able to resurrect my zombie self in battle. If anyone notices me online with my Sunsinger, shoot me an invite and we can go kill things together.


And to the Bungie employees who lurk this thread:

Fix your betrayal!!! Give us Space Beards!

Spoiler

please and thank you. I love your game.

Dural_NL

Am trying to solo it myself, lol. But I get out.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Don't think so.

 

[Heroman]

Got an exotic bounty but it wants me to go get 500 points worth of void energy or some shit in the crucible. NOOOOOOO

I just did that, and let me tell you, Fuck that part. Took me 2 hour to get.

Don't think so.

No it a 100% chance but it can be for a different class

 

[ruxtpin]

Yao what's deal. I've played crucible pretty much nonstop the last couple of nights. I am down to two regular bounties. The game isn't giving me any new ones. I have one legendary weapon (a rocket launcher). I'm stuck at level 24. So unless the game gives me more bounties, I just have to farm crucible matches without any bonuses for 1500xp so I can get to Dead Orbit rep level 2 to buy shit to get my light level up. Fun times bungie... Fu

 

[GobFather]

yesterday I got Exotic weapon from a Exotic Engram :/

 

[NullPointer]

Here's what I don't get - did Bungie purposefully design the game with the idea of high level players running around the Moon - not doing any missions or fighting anything mind you (because everything is so low level)- but purely scouring the environment like scrubbing bubbles seeking out chests and helium deposits?

Because I don't see what the alternative is supposed to be.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Has the Weekly Update been posted yet?

 

[RoKKeR]

Hey so uh, apparently you are supposed to get some sort of rifle after beating the game? I'm pretty sure I beat the game but only got a thing of light from the traveller...

...did I do something wrong?

 

[super-famicom]

Mr. Famicom and Admiral Puppy: What time, specifically, do you guys want to play?

I'm on right now, but will be unavailable from around 6-8pm. Then I'll be on til 11.

 

[Tekku]

Wow, I finally got a blue engram to spit out a legendary pair of boots for me.

And they were shittier than what I had.

Uhm, even with upgrades? Seems strange.

 

[MidEvlDed]

What's the best way to farm glimmer? black wax and the temple of crota?

black wax/shrine of oryx I think. Or possibly the skywatch cave.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Anybody did Toland's Legacy? Is it a 100% exotic guarantee?

 

[The Librarian]

I'm on right now, but will be unavailable from around 6-8pm. Then I'll be on til 11.

8pm it is! Unless that's too late for Admiral Puppy.

I can get on now if it is.

High level players should still be fighting and doing patrol missions. Level has no bearing on rewards in patrol.

 

[Zakalwe]

Yes it does. Always.

 

[everyday math]

I have no desire to find more materials. Bleeee

 

[matrixman92]

How do people go AFK in the pvp? The game kicks u even if you are just walking forward the whole time. How do people stand still and not get kicked?

 

[BraXzy]

Haha this was weird. I just finished a game and a message saying "AnX IReCoiLz (me) found Crucible" in purple text. Me and my buddy were like.. what the hell is Crucible? At the reward screen I had a blue engram and a strange coin, no purple thing and I was even more like.. what the hell?

It turns out, the Crucible is a package for levelling up your crucible rank. And it only went and spat out a legendary AR!

 

[Sofa King]

Xur not in the game right now. Just got home and can't find him.

 

[ethomaz]

No it a 100% chance but it can be for a different class

That what I want to hear

Thanks.

 

[Defect]

Bought an exotic helmet from Xur and have 10 coins left. Also used my motes for an exotic engram and got an exotic chest for another class. To the vault!

 

[catspit]

last night I came across 5 people in old Russia shooting into a cave where monsters kept re-spawning over and over. is it a known farming spot? where are the other ones?

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I got a legendary helm for a Titan yesterday, but that one Xur is selling looks awesome too. I can't decide if I should get the exotic or just hold off and see what he's got next week.

If you mostly play Striker Titan then I'd say to go for it. In my opinion it's the best exotic piece you can get for the class.

If you're mostly a Defender then it might be better to hold out for the Helm of Saint-14 though.

I think ideally you would want to have both though. One for each subclass. That's assuming you change back and forth somewhat regularly.

 

[super-famicom]

Xur not in the game right now. Just got home and can't find him.

He is by the closed gates near the Speaker.

 

[NullPointer]

High level players should still be fighting and doing patrol missions. Level has no bearing on rewards in patrol.

So by design, high level players should be patrolling and tearing up grey enemies?

Seems that way, I just don't get why Bungie would choose to do things that way. Why mark low level enemies as grey if not to say that they're not meant to be your targets - leave em for lower level players like in other MMOs or level based action rpgs.
