you should be able to buy purple armor via vanguard/crucible marks by now
i do seem to get FWC rep in pve, but my understanding is that you should be repping the factions for pvp. would vanguard level faster in pve than FWC?

I have a feeling I'm never going to get this raid done, despite being amply prepared gear-wise. :/
I've no idea on PVP, i haven't played a single match.
PVE only!

Got this from Xur's exotic engram. Even matched my class! 1st exotic
Such an awesome looking helmet!

What are the chances I can farm 17 coins before Xur disappears this week...
They will level at the same speed in pve. Because the faction item directly converts Crucible and Vanguard rep gains to faction instead.
The thing is, you need Crucible marks to buy from factions. And Vanguard marks would be useless if you don't have a vanguard rank to spend them.

You have to be the one to actually deal the final blow. I went into patrol mode and did it solo when I realized this.
Thanks for explaining, I never thought I'd say this but is there a way to avoid matchmaking to solo it then?

No. You lucked out. Mine is lv15+ or something and he gave me a legendary maybe twice.

Why can't you auto-group on weekly strikes? Doesn't make any sense as its almost impossible to get a group without an ingame chat system to spam.

What do you fellow Warlocks think of the Apothosis Veil? I already have the Voidfang Vestiments as my exotic and my helmet is the Nerigal Savant III.
You can find a Devil Walker in teh Devil's Lair area in patrol.
If you go there in patrol mode he'll be there and it's instanced so you'll be alone. You can then just return to orbit and load patrol again as many times as you need.
Just go to patrol and run to the Devil's Lair there. You'll be the only one there because it's instanced. And you don't have to deal with the rest of the strike. Just ride past everything on your sparrow and kill the walker =p
Despite the fact that I've played it nearly a dozen times now, the music from the last phase of
still gives me chills. I also didn't realize it was actually a reprise of the music you hear in the cutscene where you're flying your ship to the Tower for the first time.

Makes zero sense since they're not that different than the strikes in playlist. Another mode to force you to play how Bungie wants you to play.

Mr. Community
It would help if there were vendors in the tower selling legendary gear, right?
Bungie please.
Great post! So basically, if you're Level 28 and you're only planning on going up against Level 28's and lower, there is no point is using Ascendant Energy to upgrade your weapons Attack?
And further, once you hit Level 30, at this point in the game since there are no enemies higher than 30 in Raid Hard Mode, there is no reason to upgrade Attack at all for any weapon until an expansion where they extend the levels?

It's a shame the music is as cool as it is.

This is going to keep happening until Bungie patches the problem, and that is loot drops being generally shitty. Sure, there are naysayers saying "But that's now how you're meant to get gear!", but...if that's true, Bungie should've never called it a looting game and should've never had those vidocs saying 'It's exciting seeing those engrams drop!', or had any PR involving the drops at all.
It's a looting game. This is going to keep happening. Bungie can keep 'hotfixin' these locations, but what they'll be doing in truth is hurting the players who use these areas for patrol missions.
I await the hotfix to these areas.

Nightfall has a lot more modifiers. This week has solar burn, which means all damage with solar weapons is greatly modified. For reference, my solar fusion rifle typically hits for ~130-170 depending on the enemy and their level. It was hitting the boss for ~370 a hit. That's a LOT of damage (like, 2500 or so).
Nightfall strikes require you to a) not wipe because if you do, you return to orbit and b) pay HUGE attention to the modifiers and use them to your advantage.
If you go into a Nightfall without ammo packs or corresponding elemental damage, you're doing it wrong and gimping your group.
I kept wanting my friends to be less efficient with their elemental damage so I'd get to listen to the whole thing!
Heroic is significantly easier than nightfall and you won't be sent to orbit for a party wipe.
You get nine strange coins from heroic, but great rewards and a week-long buff from nightfall.
Are they both one and the same? Do I get the 9 strange coins from there?

Anyone have experience with the Bad Seed Down pulse rifle? Thoughts? I want to know if I should bother upgrading it or wait for something better.
Ah I see, thanks guys.
I'll try the nightfall tomorrow or Sunday. But where can I access the Heroic to get the 9 strange coins? It only has the level 22 version.
Actually it is the one right above that.
You need to do the Weekly Heroic Strike on level 28 difficulty to get all 9 Strange Coins.

You might get 9 coins from there...you might not. The only guaranteed is the weekly lvl28.
This is the exact exotic I wanted. It's bonuses are helpful but generic enough that I don't feel locked into any specific talents as a result. For me it's perfect and I'm stoked this is what Xur brought today.

Before you "launch", you can change the difficulty by clicking on the level modifier on the launch screen.
I liked the gun. I ended up getting Shadow Price later on though which I like more.
I also have the solar scout rifle which is godly.
That struggle is real.
How many materials did you get from breaking down exotic gear?

How is the inverse shadow ability? Any noticable increase in special meter building?

re: queen's wrath event from reddit:
"Event was mismanaged in general. Should have been complete 5 bounties and then you get 1 story mission, then you get the guaranteed story reward. Over a 2 week period then most people would probably do 3-6 story missions spaced out over the 2 weeks where they get 1-2 pieces of gear to augment their stuff and then 10-12 shards. If someone did EVERY single bounty for 14 missions and a chunk of shards then good for them.
As it was, it was far too many shards.
As it is post patch, it's a zillion stories for nothing once you've gotten the 1-2 pieces you might have wanted.
They missed the inbetween. I think if my suggestion was what they had done initially everyone would have liked and enjoyed it over a 2 week period, bringing fresh interest to bounties and only a handful of stories."

Have this on your computer / Tablet going and it will tell you when the Walker will spawn on Patrol. I used this and it took 2 hrs while I hit all the other patrols I could. Get those Vanguard marks!
