Hnng a single bloody coin away from that exotic launcher. Stop teasing me Xur!


There must be some guaranteed way to get strange coins besides the heroic strike....
 
!
Hahaha yes.

Seriously though Bungie needs to look at this, I really don't understand the reasoning behind it.
the reasoning is that legendary engrams are not meant to be a primary or even significant method of gear advancement in this game.

Nah, that is the only absolute guarantee. pvp, strikes, chests, public events :P Good luck! I bet you can definitely get one by the time he leaves tonight
 
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.

We're at 3 people now. 2 Titans, 1 Warlock. Anyone else? Looking to start in the afternoon (noon'ish), or later in the evening (8-9pm) if that's too inconvenient.

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)

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

Well you could store whatever you buy in the vault to be used by your other characters.
 
So grinding rep and materials so you can buy them is?
Materials?

Yes, before 26 earning your gear by ranking up your vendor(s) and buying them with marks is.

The Nightfall strike and the Raid are also a significant source of potential gear upgrades.

Well you could store whatever you buy in the vault to be used by your other characters.
Yes- as far as vendor gear, you can do this for:

-Any vanguard gear (can buy armor for any class)
-All weapons
-Anything Xur sells

Crucible armor and faction armor is only sold for the class you're on when buying it.

I really hope so, or I'm gonna cry. That launcher is MADE for a titan like me. Gonna try PvP, pray for me!
 
I've gotten at least 50 Mangala Skin armor pieces in the past two days. Why the hell is this armor so prevalent? Is it a bug? I just keep getting the same thing over and over and over again.
 
What level would you recommend the nightfall strike ??
I haven't done it yet myself, but based on my knowledge and reports:

26. It has been done at 25, and there are level 28 enemies throughout.

Most important aspect toward success would be communication. Also, set your class attribute modifier to the one that gives you more armor :P
I get that drops are not the intended means of getting gear, but finding loot will always be more fun than grinding to buy it.
Well, what's fun varies for different people- obviously it's personal but I absolutely prefer selecting the gear I specifically want and earning it rather than equipping what I happen to get by chance. but that said I am DEFINITELY looking forward to finding awesome loot via the Nightfall Strikes, Raid and whatever other crazy hard content comes our way.

My point was that engrams aren't meant for it. they're just lotto tickets you find along the way.

Id join :) RagonSter lvl 27 sunsinger lock
 
I need 3 more coins for my first exotic. I'm lvl 23 and I've already done the weekly heroic. I need to do the next difficulty up on the weekly (think 26) but I'm not sure I can even select it at lvl 23. If someone else was the fireteam leader would that possible?
 

Brilliant.

So where is this Skywatch cave i see talked about all the time?

Really wanna do the Nightstrike but i'm only 26.

Totally fucked up and spent all my Motes on the engram without realizing that it was an exotic chest piece engram... which i already bought from Xur just moments earlier. Decrypted and WHATTYA KNOW if gave me another fucking Rasberry.

If you had asked me at the beginning of this week if i would be dismantling exotics in a few days i would have fucking laughed till my lungs hurt.

Now my heart hurts. :(

Need legendary boots and an exotic weapon still. Grinding like whoa tonight i'm sure. Cept my vanguard is already done. Is there any way to earn marks past the strike playlist 100 limit? Or is it a hard 100 limit on earned marks for the week?
 
Somehow ended up on level 27 just from doing bounties and farming Vanguard Marks by doing Earth public events, not the most exciting way to gather new gear but it seems to be the way Bungie wants you to progress your character.

Not much left to do now though, I suppose 2-3 weeks is a fair lifespan for a game.
 
I get that drops are not the intended means of getting gear, but finding loot will always be more fun than grinding to buy it.
Yeah, I bought some crucible gear last night after being level 24 for a few days. Way more exciting to get it from drops though.
 
I swear, the Traveler is a different size in each piece of concept art or in-game art that we see. Sometimes it extends completely into space, but when we see it in the Tower it's entirely contained within the atmosphere.

I need some consistency, Bungie.
 
Maybe the game should just start you in the Tower when you log in. I mean, that's where you want to go most of the time. It would sure save me many minutes of loading screens.

I DON'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN WHY I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN.

Godzilla's size has varied dramatically over the 29 movies he has been in.

The recent new American reboot of Godzilla was actually the largest he's ever been, at around 350 meters tall.
 
Did some Nexus farming while I am aiming to beat it 4 times without dying. Was surprised to get 2 Legendaries within 5 mins and another some 10 mins later. All 3 turned into shit though.

The earth public event farm was the most efficient way for me too, I am currently maxed out and need only 5 marks or so to buy a third legendary piece. Not until tuesday.

In the end, hours and hours of farming basically only got me a Legendary special weapon. Well, and perhaps half the Coins I used for Xur. But I could also repeat the Weekly.
