Well, I'm pretty sure you lose out on the rewards of the higher tiers if you do any of the lower ones. So I can't help, sorry.

22 would make me short one coin.

If you do the level 22, then the 26, you will still get 6 coins total. It'll just be 3 from 22, 3 from 26. If you decide to do the highest difficulty after that, you get another 3 for a max of 9 total. If you do 26 right away, you get the six right away, etc.

Edit: beaten.

I'll try and do it too, hope it works.

Good luck.

 

[Respawn]

Since Destiny's on the fritz, here's me kicking ass with some fellow GAF members last night.

The range on that thing is ridiculous.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Do I get coins if I've already done it on level 22?

I'm not sure, you'd have to check. I've been avoiding doing the 22 so I can do the 26.

I just know that I did the daily story and after completing it on the mid tier, it removed all rewards from the other tiers.

 

[The Librarian]

Blink is great but blink and you'll miss seeing it happening

Hey, won't be able to meet up tonight (unless you're willing to stay up late). I'm meeting up with Stump for dinner.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Well, that's weird. I just got a ship schematic from the bounty guy for completing bounties.

 

[jay23]

That little jump on shores of time is a death trap for us blink users.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Anyone else still cant log on???

 

[Hawkian]

Afaik, you can go 22 -> 26 -> 28 for 3 coins each or jump straight to 28 for 9 coins.

This is accurate yeah. You'd get 3 for the 22 and then 3 for the 26 if you did them both.

That little jump on shores of time is a death trap for us blink users.

truth :-[ it's just not worth it.

 

[Mr Croft]

We are on right now east coast on x1.

 

[Darryl M R]

Hmmm. First off, I have seen plenty of raid groups forming on the LFG site.

tough call other than that. If there's not something you're dying to get from the Speaker, remember it's a 1 in 3 shot, and just search your feelings for the answer. We don't know what kind of pieces Xur will have in that slot each week, so if you are about to buy a legendary chest you might be glad you saved your motes.

Wait is the piece only a chest armor? I thought the engram could be for anything (weapons, helmet, etc)? Did Xur sell a different engram last week that wasn't for chest?

 

[JackHerer]

Are the weekly caps on Vanguard and Crucible Marks across all characters on your account or can I just switch to a different character and continue to earn?

I don't have a second character yet but this would give me an extra incentive to restart the game with a new class.

I can't remember what his piece was for last week but yeah, this is chest only. I assume the engram will be for a random single kind of item each week.

 

[Stoze]

Fuuuck I just got Sunbreakers from a Legendary engram, I'm a Titan though. I've been thinking about making a Warlock alt for a while, but I also need ascedent stuff right now.

Bank it or dismantle it?

haven't tested it but i'd bet 20 bucks it's per character. it's not like you have access to those 100 marks to spend on your other characters (unless you do...? seems like that would be unwise)

Character bound

excellent.

Well there's your answer if you play so much destiny that you've maxed booth vanguard and crucible marks for the week... time to switch to another character XD

 

[Laekon]

So from what I'm seeing today the hardest part of leveling up past 20 is finding an instance of earth that doesn't already have 3+ people farming a cave of lvl 5 mobs?

 

[AlmostMilk]

Bank it for sure.

Oh wait, restarting my PS3 got me on lol

 

[David___]

I can't remember what his piece was for last week but yeah, this is chest only. I assume the engram will be for a random single kind of item each week.

Pretty sure his stock is

1) A specific Exotic Item for one class

2) Exotic Weapon

3) Exotic Chest engram

Last week he had the gauntlets for Warlocks and this week he has the Titan helm

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Hey, won't be able to meet up tonight (unless you're willing to stay up late). I'm meeting up with Stump for dinner.

Well assuming nothing else comes up its fine as I have shit to do throughout the day. Chances are I'll be up late though so up to you. If not no worries.

 

[VE3TRO]

Haven't listened to them in years but decided to blast some Guns and Roses while doing Strikes, makes it so good.

The range on that thing is ridiculous.

Lol it's awesome though, I did some insane shots with it on Patrol. I felt like I was flying for a good few seconds.

 

[Darryl M R]

That's great to know thanks, now I know to just save up my motes until either primary or helmets show.


Also do you have any opinion on which website is best for the firesquad meet ups (net vs com)?

Also do you think it would be best if I try to find people to raid with on GAF versus those sites? I would have to play out the Raid to be done on a weekend (Im not ready for it yet), and I'm afraid that randoms may drop during it if it can take 4+ hours.

 

[Hawkian]

3) Exotic Chest engram

Last week he had the gauntlets for Warlocks and this week he has the Titan helm

so it was chest engram last week too?

and doesn't he have one exotic armor piece per class?

definitely one weapon slot each week though.

 

[Revengineer]

Anyone want to farm ... anything? I'm a gunslinger Hunter, level 23

PSN: nasirum

Not feeling like PvP right now though.

 

[postcyberpunk]

Is it back up?

 

[taoofjord]

Anyone on PS4 up for the weekly heroic strike? Psn: kiniro

 

[Hawkian]

*sigh* Well, destinylfg.net was first and I was sort of involved with its initial spread here and on reddit. But that said, destinylfg.com has exceeded it in popularity (not a little because people probably typed it not remembering the .net), and I think it's a little nice aesthetically too.

You could always make a listing on both, to maximize visibility.

YES! GAF > all

Just once you're ready to raid, ask for people who are available when you are and try to set a specific time!

 

[Stoze]

Fuck it, I'm dismantling these Sunbreakers and any other exotics/legendaries that aren't my class.

Gimme those shards pls

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Just realized my exotic armor grants me two grenades. Holy crap that's awesome m

 

[David___]

Yes.

Edit: Anyone have any idea when the Trials of Osiris are supposed to begin?

 

[Yaari]

Hate this Bounty in Crucible where you have to score a streak with the Fusion Rifle. Constantly out of ammo and the charging makes it really difficult to get streaks in pvp. Bah.

 

[Poodlestrike]

How many people are vaulting any piece of Legendary or Exotic gear that isn't their class vs. how many people are dismantling those pieces immediately for their materials?

I plan on playing all 3 characters eventually, and while getting a piece of gear that isn't a Titan currently is disappointing, it also makes it more enticing to start new characters because I'll know I have a bunch of great armor pieces waiting for me as soon as I hit 20. To dismantle a Legendary for just 2 shards doesn't seem as important, when you can get those 2 shards in a day of playing whereas a Legendary can be elusive for multiple days.

Thoughts?

The thing is, to fully upgrade the legendary/exotic gear you have, you're going to need a *lot* of Ascended Shards, which are a pain to get randomly, but you can get them by deconstructing any unnecessary Legendaries.

Dismantle it

 

[Jinjo]

Looking to do the raid tomorrow fresh from the start, so let's get a fireteam together!

Lv 26 Titan, GMT+1 (EU).

If we can get all dutch people that would be cool, but I don't know about the density of dutch people on GAF lol.

 

[Darryl M R]

Damn so it seems like Xur has been selling just exotic chest engrams both week. Hopefully he switches it up next week. I would love to take my chances on a helmet or primary weapon

 

[DesertFox]

Making some good progress - got Vanguard rank 2 and bought my first legendary armor piece.

Feelsgood.gif

Ran the nexus last night and we stonewalled at Sekrion (lvl 24). Anybody have a good strategy for that boss?

 

[Stoze]

Dismantle it

Just did, got only 2 shards which seems low considering I've gotten 3 from legendar, but now I'm only 1 shard away from being able to upgrade defense twice on one of my gears.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Gah, should I buy sunbreakers for my warlock? I can't decide.

I want in. Mr-Stephen on PSN, level 27 warlock, UK time

 

[Darth Chocula]

Finished a tumultuous tear through the Ocean of Storms with Pansargryning and I'm the only one of my fire team not rewarded with strange coins for Xur. Lord have mercy.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

Anyone on PS4 up for the weekly heroic strike? Psn: kiniro

edit: sorry never mind.

 

[LyleLanley]

Not being able to add friends on PSN is really making it a pain in the ass to get a group together.

 

[Badgerst3]

Tons of disconnects atm for me (West Coast USA)

How does pvp level out weapon/armor stats in mp?

I know i suck but damn- my level 20 keeps getting worked by anything one level higher.

Do defensive armor stats hold for mp?

 

[Icyflamez96]

What are the best shotguns for PvP? Hit me some names.

 

[Frenden]

I'll just leave this here.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Anyone have a good relic iron farming route?

 

[Magwik]

Still need to find two peeps who want to help out with the super summoning pits for my exotic bounty ;-;

 

[Jinjo]

I want in. Mr-Stephen on PSN, level 27 warlock, UK time

Added you on PSN, once we get more people together we'll send out a time. Probably in the afternoon or otherwise evening.

 

[PedroLumpy]

Anyone want to help me with weekly heroic?

 

[hillsighed]

Does farming the cave still work? I read somewhere that it had tweaked so enemies wouldn't spawn as fast.
