Bad week for me I guess. :(
Something to bear in mind:

Any week that you do not want anything from Xur's stock may feel disappointing when you are looking at it.

However, this also means that you'll have a seed of at least 9 coins for the next time, and thus greater purchasing power when he does have one or more things you want.

Eventually, simply "passing" on Xur's stock will be the easiest way to accrue strange coins.
 
Went with the AR. Would probably end up being my best weapon PVP and could be good PVE. Only downside is it fires slower than the Shingen-E and you have to get the upgrade that makes it fire even slower while aiming =/

Oh well. Time to see if I can grind out some more coins and get myself that Warlock hat. Seems like it'd better suit my PVP playstyle than these Sunbreakers though don't look nearly as cool. Anyone up for the Nightfall strike or lvl 26 weekly heroic?

PS4: ZombaXIII if interested.
 
I've really wanted this exotic Titan piece for a long time but it's unfortunate I have to get rid of one of my better legendary pieces for it. I guess I could use the shards though. Really needed exotic gauntlets.
Did you already dismantle it? :/
 
Oh man, I've just seen what Xur is selling and I can't decide.

I'm currently Lv 26 and have 22 coins, do I:

Spend 13 coins on this awesome armor. Saving the rest, getting a head start on coins for next week. Obviously it looks awesome, and I probably won't need to change it, unless I get an awesome exotic helmet.

A comparison with my current gear:

Or do I hunt down 1 more coin and spend everything on the Suros AR? I haven't had much luck with weapons and have been stuck with the Strangers Rifle for a while. I wanted the legendary weapon I use to be a primary, and this looks like a damn fine one no?

A comparison with my current:
 
How on earth do all you guys have 23+ strange coins every week? The weekly strikes only give 9 so that's 14 from random drops. I'm struggling to get up to 13 per week for the armor.

I NEED that Suros Regime in my life. Damn it looks like I'm gonna miss out though.

In my case lots of decrypted engrams resulting in strange coins. Plus a couple for completing the daily pubic event.
 
Actually, though, the best way for you to gear up right now will be to do Queen's Wrath missions. You can get at least either a legendary helm or chest very easily. Let me know if you need more information on how to do this.

Having the same problem, very hard to get any decent drops during raids (and the rewards at the end tend to be blue engrams), and now the cave-farm is closed? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Wise words indeed.

That Titan Chest piece however looks freaking amazing tho. Despite being a Warlock, I feel like getting that one though lol. I do have a lv 6 Titan just in case for something like this to happen.

Would it be worth it?
 
anyone up for a weekly strike? I'm level 24 warlock and I need four more coins for that sweet helm from Xur.

Leave it to reddit to make me laugh about how someone has decided to return to Diablo 3. Sorry if this has been posted already but I didn't see it by searching the thread for "Diablo."

I'll quote some of it but since it's long, I'll link to the source for the rest. It's a hell of a great read.

I for one still absolutely love the game, just got a laugh from this.

Diablo 3 is like that girl in high school that you were good friends with and that was always secretly into you, but you never really took things to the next level because you cared for her a lot and didn't want to chance things eventually getting weird if it didn't work out.

Then, during your senior year, this new hot chick Destiny transfers in from the neighboring town's school and immediately has all of the guys gawking at her and groveling at her feet. You decide to play it cool, get to know her, and things work out in your favor as you officially become the coolest kid in school now that you and Destiny are exclusive. Diablo says she's happy for you, but deep down she's hurting. Unfortunately, you don't see this because you're so blinded by the fact that you have the hottest chick in town.

Things start off great and you are having the time of your life. She's a tall, tanned blonde with a great body, but then after some time you start to realize that there isn't all that much to her. You don't know much about her because she's reluctant to explain anything, and there isn't any depth to her as she seems a bit empty on the inside. In other words, she's nice to look at, but not much else (but she "plays great" if you know what I mean) She also has this strange obsession with wanting you to take her to the same two or three restaurants all the time. It becomes pretty familiar and repetitive, even down right boring at times because she can't hold any interesting conversations. But at least she's hot, right?

Guess I've just been unlucky the last couple of weeks as I never seem to get them from chests/engrams.

Lots of motes of light but no coins.

I'm gonna have to level up my second character to to the weekly twice and guarantee myself 18 p/w. At least that puts in in my own hands.



Is the nightfall doable at level 27? I'd be overjoyed if I got 9 strange coins from one strike.

I did it, but I was really carried by the other two guys(mostly because they had some awesome guns...that Icebreaker). I got 12 shards...you are only guaranteed coins from the weekly heroic.

What level are ya? Do you understand the Queen's Wrath rewards?

The cave has always been a red herring ;)

Well if you're gonna play your titan, lol :)

Exotic armors are sort of always worth it in some sense. Strange Coins and Motes are infinite resources and Exotics have best-in-slot light.
What's the best way to get crucible marks?
Win. Failing that, lose. :P Crucible matches are the only way.
 
nah lol, not for the 26 one. that gives you 6 coins and there you go.

one level under doesn't make a huge difference, especially not if you have good guns.

Yeah, guess I'll see what I can do. Still upsetting to be out of 23 motes of light. Can't remember the last time I've felt do gutted over a video game. Trying to have some perspective, lol, but damn. Hours down the drain.

lol i've seen this anime
 
Not yet. Haven't gotten home from work yet. I'm still debating it. It's a hard decision!
Don't! See point 1
Notes on this Xur visit:
  • If you're replacing an upgraded Legendary piece, DO NOT DISMANTLE IT. Eventually you may have multiple exotic armor pieces to switch between as the situation demands. You'll want your legendary to switch back to in these cases.
  • The Engram slot is, obviously, a random roll for armor type. Helms this week.
  • The Bounty step to advance Super Good Advice requires 1 Strange Coin; take this into account before any purchases.
 
Did they nerf public event farming? Following the earth timer but the common events never spawn, even if I wait around for 10 minutes. Only event that spawns is the forgotten shore one. Two days in a row now...

from a Diablo subreddit


SHOCKER!
 
Lots of stuff, two long posts.

TL;DR: FUCK ENGRAMS, GET MONEY

I just want you to know I read every word of those two posts. It frustrates me sometimes when I feel I've written a very well thought out, thorough, but LONG reply about something and most people want the TL ; DR version because they can't be arsed to read it all.

Your points are valid and I agree completely. I wrote a very lengthy review of Destiny on TrueAchievements, and within minutes the trolls were out downvoting it because I gave it a 7/10 and stated it's still a great game and a solid foundation for the future. Understanding the game's systems goes a long way toward enjoying it, rather than expecting it to conform to your borderlands/diablo expectations.

People are so used to games copycating each other these days they just immediately expect any "loot" system to mean one and only one thing. /sigh
 
Went with the AR. Would probably end up being my best weapon PVP and could be good PVE. Only downside is it fires slower than the Shingen-E and you have to get the upgrade that makes it fire even slower while aiming =/

This is basically a downgrade :( I did it to the Shingen-E and it made me hate the gun.

Thanks Bungie

divide walker event is consistent at x:15 and x:45 since the beta IME, and something is supposed to happen at skywatch every 30 minutes. i'm waiting for a mothyards event right now.

They were working normally for me earlier tonight. Mothyard and divide ones always happen. I think the others are more rare
 
I bought the Suros. I waffled on buying an engram. I'll buy it when I get back up. I had just bought a legendary scout rifle off the vanguard quartermaster an hour earlier. I will just throw it in the vault until my Hunter is lvl20. Time for bed. PEACE.

thanks very much for reading.

If destiny had a traditional loot system in it i'd have already lost interest!
 
Solo'd all the way to the boss on weekly heroic strike lvl 28. If anyone's looking for a free ride to 9, 6, or 3 strange coins then message me at Xbl Xzilerate (Xbox One) and i'll invite you.
 
Don't! See point 1
Ah, yeah. Totally forgot about that. I really need some shards though but I'll save it and quit rushing to 28. Just need to up my vanguard a few hundred more points to get fully legendaried out anyway. Good call!

Also, love your posts. I agree with most of what you say, I just get aggravated with the game sometimes and want it to reach it's potential.

I gotta say it too Hawkian, I love your posts cause they mirror my thoughts on the game exactly.

I share your posts on twitter because I really couldn't write it better myself. people have thisw eird expectation of Destiny to be the same kind of game as Diablo or Borderlands when it clearly isn't.
 
I saw some people saying it's not worth upgrading the Suros Regime to have the slower fire rate/higher damage when zoomed. Doesn't that lock you out from any further upgrades though? I don't PVP, so for strictly PVE is it worth upgrading?
 
I'm actually quite excited by the randomness of the RNG as tonight the exotic item I get for 23 motes of light will determine which second character I level up first.

I'm running a level 27 warlock as my primary but have a level 2 titan and hunter just waiting patiently in the wings. The results of the random exotic item from Xur will help me decide which one of the other 2 will be my second character. Knowing my luck though it'll end up being a warlock item. For once I want the RNG to give me stuff for another class.
 
What the fuck I just did a public event and it was to kill a boss. He basically teleported half way across the map through all the checkpoints in seconds. Had no chance to kill him.

Depends what you're looking for in an AR. Fully upgraded it's comparable to a Scout Rifle in how it fires (albeit a bit faster of course). There's also a perk on it where the bottom half of a mag deals extra damage and returns health when dealing damage. So, it's definitely worth it to upgrade for PVE if you have good aim.

I've had this happen a few times on mars very annoying.
 
Do we know if there is a cap on motes of light?

I think somebody said yesterday that there is a certain amount you can carry in a stack in your inventory, but once you get more than that amount it just creates a new stack. So it seems there's not really a cap unless people just haven't hit it yet.

Funny thing is like... on paper, Borderlands and Destiny are like... the same game

FPS in which you pick a class and kill aliens with a variety of weapons many of which are extreme and outrageous, summon vehicles, progress through a light RPG leveling and skill tree system, do MMO-ish quests, and play with friends in search of better loot and adventure, eventually winding up at the Vault.

...does anyone think Borderlands and Destiny feel similar to play?
