Make sure to check back after each strike, it will only track the last mission you did for lost items. I can't say whether or not it will pick up any lost legendary gear yet though since I've not recovered any that way yet.

Legendaries work too. I've gotten one lost in the mail that turned into an exotic yesterday.

Complete nightfall; 2 friends, 2 exotics (1 being the ice breaker, the only thing I want in the game).


Me, 5 coins.

lol still not one exotic weapon or exotic weapon bounty. 1 light from level 28.

You got 6 coins =/

I really have a feeling that Xur might sell the Ice Breaker this weekend.
 
The Last Word is such a cool hand cannon. I love the animations for it.

The Nightfall strike have me a legendary hand cannon. That yellow is coming soon

I hope
 
By the way, if you want really easy Queen's Wrath missions to farm the Legendary gear, just start the mission, and if it isn't the Earth one (happens to be the very first mission in the game, that takes hardly any time to complete), just go back to orbit and keep trying until you do get it. Ends up being much quicker than doing the longer Queen's Wrath missions on other planets.
 
I did two more queens wrath missions and both times it gave me the same cloak thats worse than my current one

UGH

Instead of useless gear, think of them as Ascendant Shards. :D

I got the helmet 3 times and the robes once. Robes are exactly what I want them to be ironically, and the second helm was good but not perfect. With 2 weeks of this I'm sure I'll end up with the full set just about perfectly portioned and hopefully an autorifle.

lol I really think it was 5. Either way, I'd pay 500 for that thing.

And I don't have 23 coins for a weapon engram from Xur anyways.
 
Gonna be online with my lvl 28 Titan here in about 3 hours if anyone wants to run through the Nightfall strike with me. Shoot me a message on GAF and I'll see about tossing you an invite once I'm online.
 
These queens missions are no joke. I keep going back to orbit but I only get Venus, mars and the moon. I've tried each and I can get to the bosses if I take my time but then the bosses and their minions just fuck me up :(

Man I wanted to break my fucking controller!
 
So do we expect these Reef Bounties to reset each day like Vanguard/Crucible? I'm assuming so, but that pretty much guarantees everyone gets all of the Queens Guard gear if they keep doing them. Not that theres anything wrong with that.

Just keep retrying till you get Earth. It may take several attempts, but you'll get it eventually.

They are not useful unless you need the materials from discarding them. Even the stuff the emissary vendor is selling looks no better than what to we factions sell.
 
Oh yeah and just FYI, my friend was soloing queens wrath and he said that if you quit a mission you still have your wrath token thing and when you restart its randomized again. He had a really hard mars mission but restarted and got the very first earth mission, way faster to finish. So just something to know, it seems the wrath item isnt redeemed until you actually finish the mission and get your loot so for people trying to solo don't trudge though a really hard level.

Yea, tomorrow I am gonna give it another go. I have soloed everything upt to level 26 so far with the exception of matchmaking strikes of course. I am gonna keep trying til I get earth now and pray to rngesus for a legendary helmet. Its my last blue and it sounds like the helmet is really common.

HELP ME RNGESUS!

That's a hot tip. I'll give this a try.
 
Just did my first strike and it was a blast! I also didn't realize it would take so long, lol. I also didn't know that there was a game that would tear me from Diablo.

So off to look at tips and guides because, I am playing but I don't know what most of this stuff mean, lol.
 
Buddy just hit 20 and got his first purple engram from crucible. I kept telling him to not get his hopes up, etc etc. He gets a legendary chest for his class.

I get a purple weapon engram a few matches later. Turn in and it's a blue worse than my current one.

I'm now 1/12 on purple engrams. Fuck you Cryptarch.

It was 6 - I remember making a comment about it lol. I thought engrams were the random ones and he sold one guaranteed weapon?

I hope your feeling is correct. It would be the only exotic to make me stop using my Thunderlord.

I've fallen in love with the Ice Breaker. Yes, the stability is not great - but the gun is so much fun to use.

Also guys, want some opinions: Obviously have a shit ton of shards and thinking about upgrading to 29, but don't want to feel like I wasted the shards once I raid armor or if I find some cooler legendary pieces. What to do? I'm rightfully being stingy with shards, but would like to just level up now.
 
So I finished the game yesterday - or finished the story stuff anyways - but I went back in to the credits just now to spot names I know. One name that didn't pop up as far as I could see, to my surprise, is Jason Jones.

Oversight on the part of Bungie? I know he's not keen on the spotlight, but surely he should still get a mention considering he is not only the game's project lead, but, y'know, one of Bungie's co-founders?

lol I'm like 3/30 (so about the same) and have NEVER gotten a legendary from a blue. Have turned in probably 125+ blues. My last 4 cryptarch rank ups have given me ALL blue engrams, which decrypted into blues and greens (and mats).
 
Two legendary engrams dropped on the same strike.

Two greens and some shit that sold to the cryptarch for 200 glimmer. It's comedic at this point. I also gave serious consideration to drop kicking my PS4 out the window.
 
just ran 4 bounties for the queen. first 3 gave me the same chest piece which i dismantled immediately, the 4th gave me a legendary sniper AND a legendary helmet. feels good!

Yeah I remember the comment too, but it was after the screen went away and we were just guessing. I'm almost positive it was 5.

He does sell a weapon (not engram), for 23 coins.. I only have 13. Have like 40 motes... but those are useless (for me) unless he has a weapon engram available. Then it has to be a special weapon engram and I have to hope for that sniper. GG
 
Is 24 the actual level requirement to do Queens Wrath? I have a buddy that wants to join me, but he can't at 20. Wondering if we can up him a couple levels to get going.
 
Started the night off on a sour note, but then I jumped on the raid. The RNGesus has finally smiled upon me. Major thanks to fellow Gaffer, Vehnn for helping me out.

From the raid:

Finally an AR exotic! Not the Monte Carlo, but fuck I'll take it.

Don't think I'm ever complaining about engrams, or be this lucky again.

Dat Light of Prism thingy looks sweet
 
That's a hot tip. I'll give this a try.

Another tip to make it quicker. If you're playing with two or more people, soon as the mission starts, have one person go to the first beacon (where you have to start the mission), and have the second person at the same time go to the bottom of the mission building, pre-emptively awaiting the second mission marker/start. As soon as the first player activates the beacon, the second player can activate the second stage almost straight away, despite being so far away from each other. That way both of you can very quickly have the main crux of the mission available to go straight to, in a matter of a minute or two.

It's painful and I want to throw my hunter knife at the cryptarchs head.
