Wtf.

Me and a bunch of other Dutch fellows were doing the treasure cave when all of a sudden we got ambushed from all sides by the enemy.

They kept spawning out of the doorway and on the right of the field. It was ridiculous and awesome at the same time.

That happens at dusk and morning I believe. Bladedancer can go nucking futs in that little spawn room. If you have other high level people with you it;s a great bonus for even more gear/drops. combine that with the public events and there are multiple sources for items in that area.
 
So I have 13 Strange coins. What to do with them? That seller who only appears at the weekend requires these, right? Do I need anything else and what can I get?

For 13 strange coins you can get an exotic item for your class. Which slot depends on what he sells when he comes back Friday.
 
I do not have access to all of the internets right now so I would appreciate some info.

If I am on the final exotic bounty that says depleted hand cannon and 500 crucible void points, what hand cannon will I receive upon completion?

I really should have looked into it before I clicked...but I just went for it.

Yes, he comes on Fridays and stays all Saturday. You just need those and motes of light if you want the engram.

I thought when that happened for the first time, it was bungie's way for fixing the loot cave.

Haha, just played a Rumble game where it was between me and this other guy for 1st place for the first 5 minutes.

I have the all-red God of War shader so it seemed like he was hunting me based on that -- so I switched mid-game to the Double Banshee all-blue shader to mess with him and everyone else. I bet people were confused.
Click to expand...

Thats fucking genius. Makes me think that when Gaffers crucible up we should all use the same shader for the sake of target recognition.

Yes just Xur. 13 will get you one piece of exotic armor, he sells 3 random pieces (1 for each class). He also sells one random exotic weapon for 17 coins, and an exotic engram for 23 motes of light.
 
Diablohead said:
29 I believe, just short of 30 until you get the raid gear which is legendary but with slightly higher def and light.

I have some titan legs from the vault and the def difference is about 35, light difference is I think 2 or 3 total.
Click to expand...

A does it all have to be raid legendary stuff then? Or can it be a mix of legendary, 1 exotic and 2 raid?
 
So, Xur might not have the sun gauntlets on Friday but will he definitely have an exotic for Warlock class? Really bummed I couldn't farm the strange coins in time.

I think I was there. Was your group made of a defender, hunter and a couple of warlocks? It was fun anyway

he sells one exotic per class and one exotic engram.
so yeah, he'll have warlock stuff.
 
I am really bad at Crucible. I have fun being bad though. Makes the few kills I get that much more exciting to me.
Apologies to anyone unfortunate enough to be teamed w me.

Does Xur sell legendaries, too, or just exotics? I already have an exotic weapon and armor for my class and am looking for legendaries to round out my light.

But the quests have a perceptible story to them. Even if you don't read the flavor text when talking to quest givers (hell, the fact there is any text in the game that gives context to what you are doing already puts it a peg above Destiny in some aspects), there is an actual progression of sorts to what you are doing . A rise and fall in action where you can do unique things in the construct of the mechanics built into the game. It feels like you are doing something more than pressing square and fighting waves of enemies, which is almost exclusively what you do in the "story" missions in Destiny.
Click to expand...

All of the missions, even the 10 rep ones on patrol, have some connection to the narrative. Sure, you might not be interested in it, but it's certainly based in the story of the game.

The "story" missions are even more driven by (obviously) the story in the game.

I think people take this idea "there might as well be no story in the game" because they find the story bad to mean there is literally no story. Which is wrong.

I honestly feel like most of the storytelling is being done by the environments, and pretty expertly so. It's impossible to separate the environments from the action in the game so to say that there's no story in the game because of clunky dialogue or disconnected missions and ignoring all the ways that this solar system that's been left to rot is slowly revealed over the course of the game is kind of off base to me.

Yes, it is a badly written set of scenes, but the story of this created universe is quite compelling.

For example, I was pretty lukewarm on Mars when I started but when I hit The Buried City I was so much more into it. And actually the dialogue does a really good job of setting up the backstory of the place and why the bad guys were interested in it. But really 80% of it is in the visual design. Classic logos on the walls, expert color choices, all under varying layers of dust and sand, all this human innovation left to die on a rock in space, picked at by alien vultures.

I believe he will always have one exotic armor for each class and one exotic weapon. I'm hoping he has something better for Hunters this weekend, and preferably not a chest piece since I just bought a legendary.

Strictly exotic armor and weapons. If you want legendaries, spend your marks with the vanguard/crucible vendors and the 3 factions.

I need to do it also, i went in there by myself as level 27 warlock and couldn't get through the door
psn: milkham
 
Question I keep forgetting to ask: Is the final boss fight of Vault of Glass buggy?
I can't tell if it's a bug or a mechanic, but when the portal folks are exiting, sometimes you'll end up on the other side of the exit gate facing away from other teammates. This sucks especially when you're about to go dark.

Thorn. And as a heads up, you aren't on the last part of that bounty. You'll need to defeat Xyor the Unwed in the Level 26 Epic Strike (aka the Summoning Pits on hard as hell mode) to get the gun afterwards. Better start saving Arc/Solar weapons now..

I'm glad loot isn't like Borerlands/diablo, in those games even high level loot is completely common and I'm never excited when it drops, the loot is entirely disposable.
Click to expand...

And it is a lot of things that are just a different assortment of stats. Sure that is here as well, but less so, and there are a bunch of really cool really unique items.

This guy was using blink really good. So good that I literally just gave up fighting him and let him kill me lmao
Click to expand...

When fighting someone that is blinking around remember that they can only do it twice really fast then they have to wait for a sort of cool down before they can use it again. Or that is how the hunter one works at least.
 
I know people are having their issues with the game but I am absolutely loving it! I just got to level 27 on my hunter so I am ready to go raiding, it sucks to have to wait for my other buddies to get to level 26 first but it will be worth it. In the meantime I'm going to be leveling up my Hunter whom I have an exotic chest piece waiting for him, it's called lupus something or other.

Yes, and while I feel your pain, he damn well better not have those gauntlets again. 3 weeks in a row will be such a bummer.
