Anyone get the sparrow upgrade from Xur? He was slacking this week, the only shit I got was the lion rocket launcher (which is pretty dope ngl). I still have yet to do this week's Nightfall :(((
 
I've played the game 40+ hours(according to the XB1 tracker) and I've only seen 2 legendary engrams. I've reached the vanguard mark weekly limit and still haven't got anything useful. I did get a legendary fusion rifle from crucible, but I've got 75 marks this week and still haven't received anything else. Patrol missions usually get me nothing but greens and occasional blues.

I'm wondering how some of you guys are finding 10+ legendary engrams so quickly much less opening them all at the same time. Atleast I'm almost at level 2 of FWC so I can start buying legendary items, but man the legendary drop rate for this game sucks. And I forgot to mention the second legendary engram I got was from farming the "cave of wonders" and of course it turned out to be a blue smh. I feel like I might as well just play crucible even if it's my least favorite mode in the game because atleast I got SOMETHING there.

Also, what is the quickest way to get motes of light? I'm so close to being able to buy an exotic engram. I just need to get a few more.

Level 24 btw
 
Got my first Legendary from a rare engram today.

Well I'm out. Farming flowers on Venus to slightly upgrade my legendary armor? Sorry but that's not happening. This is vanilla WoW levels of boredom. Regretting my digital purchase of this. Had some fun, but overall a disappointment.

yea destiny's starting to make me want to play an actual mmo
 
FINALLY been given an Exotic Bounty, but this Void damage challenge will take me forever.

Anyone got any tips?

Void fusion rifle, rumble(just 5 other people in the match and every one is a target, I found this preferable). Each kill is 4-5 points, each death loses 2 points.

You mean the spirit blooms? Yeah, that wasn't a very good farming experience either. The only positive about it was that I got a legendary engram.
 
Why we can't buy that shit and other materials is beyond me. 25k glimmer sitting on my account and I can do fuck all with it.

I was actually brainstorming a decent way to handle this, especially since the main source of money here is basically pointless due to so many various alternatives(marks, motes, strange coins) that are used instead.

I would have made a merchant that can sell these materials, but at a somewhat ripoff price. Then I would have another group that can actually go to the planets for you and get some, with various "risk" levels, the highest being most expensive and having the highest material payout. At some point if the risk triggers, it would function as an on the fly mission where a huge firefight would be happening and you would have to save them. If you ignored it, you may have paid for an expedition that never comes back and gives you nothing, or there is still a chance they make it. Maybe even have it so you can send a gun or something that you don't need anymore to drastically improve their survival if you ignore it, or additional glimmer on bodyguards.

That's just a super rough concept off the top of my head, but it's crazy that there's no alternative to straight up farming these materials. Obviously that is not everyone's cup of tea, but they can't do anything about it. Atleast the above has some potential for emergent gameplay, or can be ignored entirely(at a higher cost to feel more fair).
 
Finished my Bad Juju quest, took me around 2 hours of crucible to finish last part, but I did pretty well I think, always stayed above 1.5KDR:

Nice, I just got the bounty for that. What is the PvP part of it? I haven't even touched the Crucible, and I hadn't planned on it anytime soon, but I guess I'll have to for this. :(
 
Striker Titan is growing on me for PvE. Flashbang is just damn good; I bought that helm for Striker stuff but Armamentarium is so hard to unequip just to be able to toss flashbangs so often.

On a different note, I'm having a hard time finding an exotic weapon I really care about. I was excited to get Super Good Advice but the recoil is bad even by HMG standards. The Pocket Infinity I'm working on now apparently has awful charge time, and like the heavy slot will have to get benched for certain content. All of the primaries seem like they will take a backseat to the raid primaries that can roll an element. Doesn't help that I love shotguns in most games and here they are just dreadful in PvE.
 
Use end game glimmer to buy engrams from the Cryptarch. Every time he levels you get a shot at multiple Legensary Engrams.

Unless there's a level cap and you've hit it?

PvP / Raid / Teamwork?

All things that are, fun?
 
Just had someone afk the whole strike. I reported them, but I doubt anything happens. There should be some sort of kick function for this situation. Such bullshit someone can sit there.
 
I love my hunter but we're serious gimped on outfits compared to Titan and Warlock.

Yup

Classy. Pink Hunter armor on the other hand.... well there's only one person I've seen who wears that well. They know who they are.
 
I just saw the funniest thing on destinylfg.net. A group for Vault of Glass was only taking people with "~1.3 or higher k/d ratio in crucible."
