The RNG God was good to me yesterday with 7 legendary engrams, one of which contained an exotic launcher.

The only problem is I can't upgrade this stuff without dropping myself back to level 26.

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.
 
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.
 
You get 5 points for a void kill and lose 2 every time you die. Try to camp out a heavy weapon spawn and then go on a spree with a void machine gun. Play as conservatively as possible. Once you get the hang of it you'll be getting 20+ points per game. My best was around 70. Should be easier as a Wizard since Nova Bomb and grenades count towards it too.

I did it in Rumble. And you get more points for a kill than you lose to death. I believe you lose 2 points when you die and get 4-ish per kill? As long as you stay mostly even you should be okay.

Edit: Also I got 40+ points a game as long as I did okay. I had a couple shitty rounds, but it was generally fine. I'm not a big fan of fusion rifles, but it did the job.

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.
 
Fuck this game. If I don't get better RNG luck by October 8th, I'm going to trade this shit to Gamestop. You're on notice, Bungie. Fuck you and fuck your RNG. Other people are swimming in gear, but you don't give me shit.

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
 
The fact that vanguard/crucible rep and marks are not shared between characters is really preventing me from seriously starting a second character...
 
Why don't I have any exotic bounties yet? Goddamn you Bungie and your retarded-ass use of RNG for things that shouldn't!
 
Bastion is hands down one of the worst mp maps ever made.

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

First Light will give it a run for its money

Funnily enough, exact same thing applies to this map lol
 
Which one, there are 2-3 of them and they are not guaranteed to work every time afaik.

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.
 
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.

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.

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

Does anyone have tips for a good run of Relic Iron on Mars? This fucking game...

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.
 
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.

Has anyone ever seen this happening?

We were farming the cave on earth 5-6 guardians, then suddenly the garage on the left started spawning a shitload of enemies for a good 10 minutes non stop

Even my Super move didn't work there wich was weird

Anyway, so much loot by the end of it, it was insane (2 Legendaries - 6 Blues - Shitload of green)

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 was. I guess I can't be mad. I knee what was coming

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.
