Yes, but HOW.

Aww I'm leveling it up in hopes of getting a handcannon... It's random which NM weapon you get?

Space Magic?
What's she actually gotten so far?
I can't get over how good the character models look in this game. I swear everyone I talk to spends an absurd amount of time customizing their characters. They definitely got that part about being a semi-mmo right.Started a 2nd character because Xur's exotic chest engram that turned out to be Heart of the Praxic Fire for Warlocks. So here is my new Sunsinger!
It's fun knowing I already have an exotic waiting for me @ Level 20.
Yeah, it's random, I didn't have a choice on what weapon.

Best way to get ascendant shards from everyone's experience here?

Should I choose the bounty for Thorn or Invective.. Logically the shotgun is what I should pick since I actually use them, but Thorn just looks so cool..
The group i was playing with had the same thing happen, though we only got crafting materials and no items. I then did a third run this week and got nothing, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Also, when i was doing hard mode for the first time, the first chest dropped zero loot for our entire party, so something may be bugged somehow.

Shards, Energy, Legendary class item, and Legendary Raid Gauntlets.

Fortunately for me
I like big butts and I cannot lie. They are like space magic or something.
I think it is time to try to the level 26 weekly. 3 light away from 26. Damn shards

I'm really loving this rifle, it's an auto rifle which normally doesn't fit my more accurate payout guns like a hand cannon. But when I aim it fires slower and does more damage, and half the mag does more damage and can restore health.
Make 2 alt characters. Do public events on all 3 characters per day. It's a fantastic way to get upgrade materials and shots at other good stuff for minimal effort.

They can not control how fast or slow the content is consumed without complaints. We had initial complaints about bosses in Devil's Lair being "bullet sponges" but now people can clear the Strike in 10 minutes. Hell, the raid that took over 10 hours for the first clear has now been cleared in less than an hour. That's not Bungie's fault. That's people being highly motivated to clear as much as they can as quickly as they can. What can Bungie, feasibly do to combat that? Raise the difficulty and there will be complaints of "too hard!" Shove in a bunch of mandatory filler content and there will be complaints about that as well (Patrol beacons aren't received very well as it is, and that's completely optional).
So what exactly is any dev supposed to do? Have a game with 60+ hours of content that's entirely unique and dynamic? Outside the scope of possibility in reality.

Congrats! I also was given the weapon I wanted when I hit level 3 with NM: the AR.

Yes, farming does grant you a shit ton of loot. But of all the cave time I have put in. Only one item was actually an upgrade all my legen day gear and rares with extra light came from rsmdom drops else where. I think I'm done with the cave for awhile. Also its been infested with cave trolls 3 of 4 times I went. Punched him a Couple times, reported him. Bit shouldn't come to that. If I'm getting mad at other players for trying to make me trippy my game more, I need to rethink how I'm playing
Yup, this is the main reason why I am starting a 2nd character so early. I'll likely start my 3rd one this weekend as well.

I'd love to have something like that. My first legendary was an auto rifle, but it's squirrely as hell. Have to hold the stick half way down to aim and have to feather the trigger at any distance beyond point blank.

God I went back and forth between those eyes and blue. Finally decided on blue but it took me forever.

so in all the game time I have put into the game:farming the cave entrance on earth today got me 2 exotics and 3 legendary in a 25 minute span. (all legendary engrams)
since launch I have only found 1 exotic not for my class (hunter) and a legendary rocket launcher and gloves for my warlock.
guess that's where I'm headed until I'm legendaried* out before the raid...

How did you get the leg armor? was it a random drop in the raid or a drop from one of the bosses?
Shieeet the exotic armours are just stunning.

Very happy to report that I won the "Engram Lottery Chance of a Lifetime Sweepstakes" last night. Lol
I actually decrypted a Legendary Auto Rifle from a BLUE Engram. The funny thing was, I had been holding on to a legendary Engram in my vault thinking I'd decrypt it when I had a few saved up. But I just just got back from a bit of farming and had four blues and thought, what the hell, I'll take that legendary out of the vault and let the cryptarch destroy my hopes and dreams.
Decrypted a legendary from the blue and a blue from the legendary.
SHADOW PRICE is thy name, and killing will be her game.

This game has grown on me. I am fond of all of the Venus and Mars strikes, and enjoy doing patrols on both planets as well. My first purple engram netted me a green and mote of light. My second, a drop, got me a dope fusion rifle that annihilates pretty much anything aside from even-leveled strike bosses. I feel the carrot-and-stick digging in their teeth.....
Yep, you can also get Ascendent Energy to upgrade weapons too. You can store them in the vault to give to your main character. You're guaranteed something good in your mailbox after completing one in gold every day once per character. So potentially 3 Ascendent shards per day.

The PvP in this continues to be sooooo frustrating for me, but I'm doing it because it can be fun and I want some of the gear associated with it.
I know there is no skill-based matchmaking, but in my case, it feels like there is, but just in a way that good players are always matched together. I've played probably around 20 games now, most of which team-based, and have been stomped in every single game except one. One win that was still a very close match. This seems crazy. It's not like I'm even in last place on my team each time.
I wonder if it's just a case of most people playing in Fireteams, so they match up together, but non-grouped folks like me get thrown together and lack the coordination that voice chat players have. Sucks if so.
Also, it seems weird to me that they allow players to have shields from their gear. It is a huge advantage, because it means they can take more hits. I'm level 22 now and have never seen a piece of gear with it.
Oh well, enough bitching. I guess I shouldn't be playing team-based PvP unless I have a team of people I know and can chat with anyway.

Got a Legendary and got some ascending shards or whatever. Get screwed?

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
its a fantastic rifle the stability allows you to head track like no other. though you eat though ammo like crazy.
No, Attack/Defense/level don't apply. Abilities/mods/etc do.
Iron Banner pvp turns that stuff on, though the effect isn't as potent as it is in pve, I don't think you can one shot newbies with a single AR bullet (though we'll find out when they enable it and 29s are running around in there
)I'm 27 but never done Nightfall before. No mic though so if that's a dealbreaker that's ok.
Not sure what the hallway cheese is.

Do I get anything for the experience points I accrue past level 20?

Shields come from abilities, not gear. The Sunsinger Warlock and Defender Titan have abilities that give them bonus shields. I think the Bullshitter Hunter also has one after he kills with the bullshit blade, but that might only be regen, I can't remember.
