Best way to get some Motes of Light? I'm on 20 right now. Wanna try my luck for a second Exotic Helm to switch to.

Haha, good luck. I almost want to try my hand at it some more just to have a set, but I don't think that'd be likely. But having one of every type would be amazing.
Yep. No reason to do them now unless you're just bored.
As you can see from the thread, everyone is buying the Suros. lol
Also guys, I've evaluated (in PVE) that AR with the ADS Damage buff is great DPS, possibly more consistent than a Scout Rifle and definitely a regular AR in PVE. Suros is very, very good in PVE.
As for PVP, I'm keeping my Shingen E for more "enfilade" maps and Suros for the larger, ranged maps.
I'm still conflicted. I have Monte Carlo but the stability makes it pretty terrible in a lot of cases. I want this but I'd hate to not get enough coins this week to be able to get a sniper or scout next week.
Oh and damn that hunter helm is sick for pvp.

How many coins is Xur charging for the Suros? I've been waiting ages to upgrade my AR.
Also where did he spawn this time?
Easier to just do it on highest level only because the coins stack and you'll get 9
If you do the lvl 28 heroic first, you get all 9 coins at once.
Really? I've regularly done them multiple times before reporting back and never been screwed on it.
Now, I'm paranoid for the next time.
Or do the highest weekly strike once and get all 9 coins / all the rep.

Wha..? That's certainly something, I actually don't mind getting killed by FR and HC users, I think they're fine the way they are now and don't need to be nerfed. I agree with Bungie's assessment that ARs are beating out every weapon from pretty much any range, so that's why they're going to nerf its long range effectiveness. Not sure why they think a range nerf is necessary on shotguns, though. You have to get really freakin' close like you should be to use a shotgun effectively, and this is coming from an Invective user.
Thanks for the information.
You can find a back up secondary legendary. You can't easily grab this gun again, think carefully
Bear in mind folks, you may only be able to equip one Exotic at a time, that doesn't mean you should only own one. I have three with Suros soon to make it four, and I constantly swap them out based on how the situation demands.
Yepit was in the patch yesterday.
god damnit.
Y'know... I would even be fine if things did become more standardized. Like. I think I mostly want things to actually make sense lol. I'd like for it to be coherent =p
Having weapon drops that can have thousands of variations, many of them that are greatly outshined by other versions is weird in a system that doesn't seem designed for you to try to farm for good ones. I keep mentioning The Devil You Know to be kind of consistent. I believe it has over 6900 possibilities when you factor in its various mod rolls. 6900+ variations of a single weapon.
That kind of design feels like it was intended for a borderlands or diablo style game.
Now, if instead, there was just an array of entirely different weapons. Each one standardized. Every The Devil You Know is the same as another. Well, hey, that would be cool too. Now your goal is to get your hands on the items you want. Some people already play this way, but the item design just makes that impossible for me.
The game just seems like its distribution was designed for the latter, while the actual item design was for the former. It just doesn't quite mesh.
This is just another post to clarify my thoughts. I'm not ranting and raving and slinging 1/10 reviews and stuff =p Just trying to explain.

fuck relic iron
Seems like exotics are all about swapping in and out.

On another note: this morning while I was checking Xur before work, I decrypted some blues and randomly got a legendary shotgun lol. You get shit when you least expect it.
I just hate suddenly dying to FRs from one shot outta no where. Even shotties need a few hits from medium range usually from my experience. FR is my most hated gun in PVP. I can deal with the rest.

there is another loot cave, it is on the route to the walker. You clear out the area mobs stand pretty far away on a truck, and kill groups as they come out every 6 seconds.
about 6 mobs come out every 6 seconds and at least alone it is a bit slow vs the original cave, perhaps with a group they drop more as they're blown up more quickly then.
I've noticed that if you destroy several mobs at once or in very close succession they will more frequently drop an engram. This is why these caves work better than shooting randoms outside.
Makes me think the "every gun should have a story" was some half-baked idea where you reward a player for what the game deems is a big moment. But in the end, the big moments happen so frequently, they had to make the cryptarch nerf most of what were supposed to be battle rewards lest everyone level up to the cap too quickly.

awesome
Got a question for the Queens Missions, if you re-do the same mission (restoration) will you always get the same piece of loot drop or is it random?
I'm asking because all I've gotten is only helmets for the past 3-4 times I have tried for my character. Has anyone gotten both the helmet and the chest armour from the same mission?

Yea someone was saying earlier they were watching someone do a new loot cave on earth rocket yard area.
I would've agreed had I not been sniped by an AR yesterday haha. That was kind of the last straw on the AR for me =p I still regret not seeing which one it was x.x Don't just mean caught off guard, I mean quite seriously killed from a range you expect from a scout or sniper rifle. I was dead before I knew what hit me, and when I saw their location I was completely dumbfounded.

Nope that farming route is almost dead too. Engram drop rates are greatly reduced after a complete wipe.

Buried City is your friend for that.
I think did 8 completions with 1 time drop.
So I'm playing pretty regularly, but I think I'm not paying attention to some useful info floating around.
GAF - for a level 25 titan duder, what's the best way for me to get exotics/legendaries? I've gotten two, but I've bought them from the crucible vendor.
Should I join up with gaffers and try glass? Should I go somewhere low level and just kill things for an hour? Are there any particularly useful tricks or spots that aren't patched out?

EL SUROS REGIME!
Seems to be rare - the only reason I am still dabbling with the Queen garbage.

Anyone here face Bungie in Skirmish last night? And all of you buying the Suros - aren't you worried after the nerf it'll be rather useless? I'm thinking saving my coins. Haven't bought anything from Xur at all.

Thanks! I may have to look for a group to roll with later tonight then, if the suros is as good as it seems anyway. ADS penalty sounds annoying though.

Why?
The difference is more like the better impact on Suros and better fire-rate and damage on Hard Light.
I guess Hard Light is a better choice yet.

Its my favorite thing to farm
Xur coming through like a champ.
You know, I kinda think they should allow you to have an exotic for all three weapon types at once, for armor obviously allowing more than one would effect stats, but for weapons, it doesnt really matter, you could go into the menu and switch the weapons over anyway, it's not really doing anything other than making it take a little more time, by limiting to one.
