I just solo'd the level 22 weekly heroic strike with my lvl 25 sunslinger. Such an awesome feeling. The power of turtling!

Just bought the exotic Titan helmet from xur, kind of regretting my purchase. Looks pretty cool but I think I've decided that I like the defender subclass better, and I also already had a legendary helm. Not sure why I don't know this: does having a higher level mean you find better loot? Or is it just about your abilities being better and such?

What's turtling?

Does the Cryptarch award you legendary engrams at the messenger? I do cave loot runs and get around 2 legendary engrams off the floor for every 2 to 3 hours of farming. But after decrypting everything at the Cryptarch, and going to the messenger right after, I get more legendary engrams. Just now I was given 5 legendary engrams at the messenger. Since I farm at the cave, I doubt I'm missing that many legendary engrams off the floor since they're all in once place. This has been happening since yesterday. The messenger keeps giving me a couple legendary engrams after every cave loot run.

Btw it's pretty much gauranteed one person in your group will get an exotic weapon if you complete the nightfall strike. One of my buddies got Hawkmoon, I helped my other buddy and he got Plan C. You also get triple exp for the rest of the week and your head glows with blue fire. Pretty cool.
fuck. bring me in spirit wallach

I played the Moon strike today, then went to Venus for the first time (hard mode) and played through to the Reef cutscene.
Felt like if the entirety of the mission flow was as engaging as this (and the very first mission), I'd be pretty happy with the campaign so far. I liked the cutscenes with my character in this section, apart from the Reef scene feeling kinda disjointed without actually having gameplay there leading up to meeting the Queen. The intro to the Vex was great - they felt like an unstoppable onslaught - and there was a good plot hook or two in the Black Garden being a possible way to heal the traveller, and the Exo stranger having some other more important stuff going on that you have no idea about.
Fair enough, I misunderstood you then, and yes I agree.

Anyone up for some Crucible or Strikes?

lawl. when you level up the cryptarch rank he sends you engrams. this reinforces the abusive codependent relationship you are in with him.
Playing extremely defensively. Well, it depends on the context. For example a team who is "turtling" in WoW is hiding is their base during PvP, focusing solely on defense of that base. In other games, like this, it's used to refer to an individual.

Basically hiding in cover, popping out to take some shots and running back into cover. The Wizards were a nightmare the first several times I did it (even with a team), but this time they weren't so bad. Just had to draw them out into the long hallways. Even managed to not die that run either, and got a legendary engram to boot (turned out to be a legendary shotgun "The Crash"

definitely, incontrovertibly means you find better loot.

I can't imagine successfully doing that strike all by myself. Interesting that you managed!

Why does The Queen nor her brother acknowledge me as their Awoken brethren?

Thanks for the info, it's downloading now.
Holy crap! I guess it's meant to be. It downloaded and installed before I finish typing the above sentence and I type fast!
I seriously never had something download and install this fast before.
Why would they? You presumably grew up and died on Earth, then got resurrected as an undying servant of the dead god.

Did the same thing with my level 24 Hunter. Cheese for everybody.

I've heard people say that can stand in the door before the boss and just pull in adds..but doesn't some shrieker thing spawn there to prevent it?

Because they hate earth awoken. You've shamed your entire species by fraternizing with humans. You should be ashamed

It was all rather interesting.
And then just like with all the other plot elements up until that point, they get unceremoniously dropped like loose change.

I get the feeling the Queen's brother is totally a douche to everyone, Awoken or not.
And the Queen is the Queen; she's got to be aloof as fuck. Comes with the territory.
The adds and the shrieker despawn if you back up like 3 feet and hide for a second.
Send FR to Mindlog. Really lit right now, but can probably still clean up raid easy.

I hid in the hallway before the shrieker after taking shots at the boss. Eventually wizards will come, but if you shoot at them a bit, both they and the shrieker will disappear. Then you can run out, take some shots at the boss and repeat.

For Shogoth? Yeah, a Shrieker death top spawns there and forces you out. You can kill it, but it has a revenge attack that will certainly kill anyone.
Unless you're trying to get the one Hive priest to spawn for the exotic bounty, there's no reason to have the wizards spawn. Just leave a couple of guys alive on the far side of the room to keep it on the first wave.

Hmm. That's a real, real shame.
I'm looking forward to the day that Oryx makes an appearance. I was really digging the Lovecraftian vibe to the Hive's lore.
What the hell were those massive chains for that you keep coming across for? Anyone know? Were they Phorus (sp? Last boss of the summoning pits)'s chains?

Actually if you crouch near the entrance to the room with the shrieker you can shoot around the rock and the adds won't rush and the shrieker won't spawn either, you have to lure him first with a few rockets though.
Unfortunately it isn't worth it, the impact is so low that the strangers rifle hits better. Wasted a day working on that thing.

Finally finished the 25 strike segment of getting Bad Juju. Cut it a bit too close for comfort getting it done the last night of Xur's visit for the week.
How? You cant do that much?
Yea I personally picked mine out quickly, but a few friends of mine spent a good while tweaking the different combinations. They just made that character customization part very attractive to flip through. It's a pretty smart way to hook people from the beginning.

Well, I'll give it a shot and see what's up when it's upgraded a bit. I didn't want Thorn or the Shotgun, so Bad Juju is what I went with.
I need help with the dumbest problem ever.
I maxed out my rep with the Future War Cult, but now I want to start working on vanguard/crucible rep. The only problem is I don't have any other class items and I can't delete my Future War Cult mark while I'm wearing it, so I can't figure out how to go back to getting normal rep.
Is there a cheap class item I can buy somewhere? I have 5 bounties to turn in but I want the rep to go to vanguard, not a faction I've already maxed out on.

The cryptarch can help.
