Two things you can do, the obvious being to just play at a lower level anyway, and it will in time upgrade you to beyond the level you're currently at. Alternatively, wear your old armour in regular play, switching only to your new gear before collecting Bounty rewards. That way the experience gained from bounties goes to your new gear, and then you can switch back to your old gear to resume play.

If I've started the raid with another team, can I do it with another one in the same week (assuming my current team isn't available tonight)?

Exotics give +2 light for the first 3 defence upgrades and then +3 for the last one, for +30 light. A legendary piece will max out at +27 light iirc
27+27+27+30= +111 light, 9 away from the max
Legendary should be 18 + (2x5) = 28, totaling about 114, no? Still lvl 29 plus change so not enough to max out.
That's encouraging 0.5 K/D or better will do in terms of progress, I'm levelling my Titan Defender and can wreck shit with the forcefield/Machine Gun combo... only problem is getting to a Heavy Weapon Drop without sucking with my shotty/fusion rifle.

Farm marks and eliminate the RNG. Or do strike playlist. Also eliminates RNG.
Got this from an exotic bounty.
And I bought Xur's rocket launcher too.
I need that MG so bad. :O
I'm really not happy with the mp maps
I can see 2 where i like to play, but on avarage they are a big let down

Vanguard tiger gives me shit. Maxed the weekly vanguard marks, got nothing from them. Plus it's the same two strikes over and over again on repeat for me.

I see a lot of hate for that map, but I don't get it. It's one of the few maps I think are decent in Destiny. Thanks to it's size and open spaces, it's one of the only maps where I don't want to fling my controller across the room constantly due to getting shot in the face by someone sprinting up to me and shotting my face off with a shotgun
Funnily enough, exact same thing applies to this map lol

Just hanging out in the room before you go through the door. Whenever enemies spawn, just hide around the corner where you came from until they disappear. Run back and chip away at Phogoth's health. It's a bit long but took me five minutes just now.
I can second this, there was an area in the top left area where you can camp behind the rocks, but in the level weekly 22 strike yesterday the bastard wizards flew high up and sniped me from above.

Really don't get the hate for this map. It's one of my favourites.

Man I HATE these PvP exotic steps. I really think Bungie is stupid for putting them in. Give us a choice because I have gained 20 points across 3 matches. I know I suck at PvP, but this is just no fun at all.

So true man, was definitely let down with the mp maps. I like a couple, but most of them are meh. Expected a little more from bungie.

If you maxed your marks, go buy a nice legendary. There, you got something from them.

That's what I do, and like I said earlier, if you leave 1 or 2 knights alive, the wizards and chosen knights will NOT spawn or they will not attack you in the left corner. You can just shoot Phogoth from behind that rock.
The backtracking into the starting room strategy never worked for me because you're essentially cornered and it's a bit more risky.
Yeah the lack of shotguns is nice. Everything else is not. Especially how long it takes to get to the middle of the map where everyone is. I spend most of the games on that map riding a sparrow or running. I think some of the best maps are in the rumble play list.
I feel like this map is a shotgun lovers paradise. As a person who prefers midrange battles, I can't stand it.
I wouldn't stress too much. I checked this out after seeing the post. The fusion rifles he's selling are uncommon, not rare. (level 26 here)
First Light? It's mid range heaven. One of my favourites for using my scout rifle... Barely touch my shotgun on that map...
You sure you're thinking of the right one? :3
Very first area with the Vex and Cabal, just south of where you spawn.
Run around the circle for chests and nodes. Make sure to check the cave, and the two rooms at the back of the Cabal outpost.
They spawn really fast.

Took a chance with Xur and got an exotic armor piece for my class!
Finally, my first piece of armor that isn't rare!
Now to continue the grind of never finding any legendaries.

Look it up on reddit, there is a farm method in the scablands that should give you 6-8 relic iron every 4 minutes.
Doing the daily heroic on 28 difficulty if anybody fancies it?
I'm a level 26 warlock, so it's gonna be tough. But....those...ascendant materials...
If you're already a PSN friend feel free to just dive in, if not, feel free to add and then dive in - PSN name is same as GAF. Thanks!

Hmm, I must not be. I thought that was the one on earth that looks like a warehouse or a factory.

Yeah. Sometimes the "two enemy factions fighting" areas heat up, and you get a ton of Ultra/Major enemies spawning. Pretty hectic, lots of fun.
It's the moon level with vehicles. The big open one.
You might be thinking of Exodus Blue?

Yeah at this point I just assume legendary means rare that won't randomly give a green sometimes. I half expected the exotic engram I bought to give me a rare. Bungies look system is pretty much the worst ever. Why not just make legendary engrams much rarer but assure a legendary? It makes no sense.
daaayum thanks will look it up

The one I mentioned is just as fast and you spawn right there every time. Easier to find chests too, less places.

If you have an exotic piece of armor equipped, can you still equip an exotic weapon?
What else can you do with them?
