Man, is there any reasonable way to fucking level up my Vanguard rank? Started today at Level 1 and just played for 7 hours, doing bounties/patrols and a strike. I'm now 480/2000 to Level 2. Are you fucking joking? I need to play for 20-30 hours more just to get up to rank 2 so I can buy the boots I want?

PLEASE tell me I'm just doing this wrong and there's a quicker method. Was hoping to get it done today.

It took me about 4-5 hours to get from level 1 to 2. Just do the assassination missions during a patrol. I would load in to earth, quickly check the two areas near the place you start from, and then quit out and load in again if there wasn't an assassination mission. Just watch some movies while doing it.

Man, that's like 200 assassination missions if you're going from a clean level 1 to level 2.
 
Anybody about to give me a hand with the weekly heroic at level 26 and 28. I need 9 more coins to be able to buy the exotic rifle from Xur.

PSN is - Ty_84
 
I got the invective bounty. Seems like a waste of time to do the 5 strikes without dieing until the new patch though. The rewards should be better if I wait for patch.
 
It doesn't make any sense at all to have a cap on the total marks held. They already cap the rate they can be earned, what harm is there by someone saving them? They would have the same purchase power as someone who spends them regularly. It is a stupid artificial limit.
 
Guys which Hunter sub-class is better for Strikes/Raid, etc?

I am about to start a new alt and not sure which one to go with.

Gunslinger hands down but neither are great. Bladedancer has invis ---> revive combo but other than that it's pretty useless. Super for Bladedancer is awful for PvE.
 
God i fucking hate skirmish... twice as much if its the anomaly map. Too compact and too much shit in the way for a hunter with a hand cannon
 
Okay guys:

After stretching my legs, confirming my Hawkmoon was indeed real both in the field and the Crucible, making short work of a weekly heroic with toda, and pretty much effortlessly hitting 28, I'm feeling magnanimous. Destiny was good to me last night and I had help along the way, so now I want to give back.

Gonna walk the dog and have a bite for dinner, and then I'll be polishing up and posting part 3 of my leveling guide. After that, I've got guild duties in a few hours, but until then and afterward into the wee hours of the morning, I am offering my services on PS4.

I am willing to help anyone with anything, but priorities are new/relatively new players, and I guess these particular things:
  • Finishing your Weekly Heroic Strike- if you want something from Xur and haven't done your weekly, this is the time. This is the only guaranteed source of Strange Coins in the game. It CAN be done on multiple character. Pocket Infinity I can tear through this strike like newspaper.
  • Finishing your Weekly Nightfall
  • Reaching Vanguard Rank 2- we'll be using this method, and if you don't mind, I will be streaming these runs. A lot of people who are frustrated with the apparently slow pace of ranking up would benefit from simply grouping up and rolling with one another, and I hop to spread the word about how it works. Note: at Vanguard Rank 4 and Crucible Rank 2, i'm not even thinking about Reputation anymore, it just comes as I play.
  • Leveling up quickly pre-20 (I didn't really feel this was necessary, but I know some people feel the need for speed)
  • Queen's Wrath kill orders for help getitng to 26

Note: I'm getting a lot of Party/Fireteam requests these days. I think it's awesome! Destiny has been a very social experience for me even with the lack of in-game features for it and that's pretty sweet.

If I don't respond to your request, please don't think that I don't love you! I may be in the middle of a firefight, a conversation with other GAFers, or (most likely) AFK- i leave my game up in Orbit or the Tower while I'm not physically there a looooot of the time. If you send me a message instead, I will always respond as soon as I get it.

This will be first come first serve for people who quote this post and reply in this thread with what they need help with. As soon as we accomplish the goal that we set out to get done for you, I'll have to take to the sky to help another fireteam ;) No hard feelings! And again I'll have to take a break at 9:00PM EST for a couple hours.

Let's get it going.
 
Anyone know how to create a fireteam with PSN down right now?

Edit: Oh, figured it out. I can join his session after creating a party chat.

quoting cause wow bottom of page.
 
am starting to see why DeeJ and Urk hail the warlock as the best class, at least as far as end-game content is concerned

-shaders actually make sense
-glide conquers some raid objectives
-void conquers minotaurs; sunsingers don't need to be revived

hunter still fits my playstyle better - in PvP at least - but it seems like i'll be committing to a new class sooner than i thought.
 
Finally got my last few coins so I could get my Titan chest plate off Xur.

Now just got to wait til Tuesday to earn 2 crucible points to buy my legendry boots and armor wise I'm kitted out, aside from upgrade grinds.

Not got a single legendary gun yet though, although I did pick up an exotic bounty which got me the exotic heavy machine gun.

Still thoroughly enjoying the game, even if Rahool does keep decrypting my legendary engrams into blues.
 
I got legendary boots for Hunter yesterday and today Cryptarch gave me exotic Hunter helm for 23 motes, and I'm a Titan.

Guess I know which class I'll be starting as an alternate.
 
OMFG I just tried to do Weekly Strike with guy named Shards_Core here from GAF... I ended up rage quitting, so sorry to you guys who I left alone xD

I have so many nitpicks with that Venus Strike: "The Nexus", -- like, why does it have to restart you at the room outside the boss room where there are 20+ Goblins crammed together. 1/3 times we ended up wiping just on the entrance to the boss room.

Dat Solar Burn thing is OP dou. I damaged 3990 with precision on the boss with Final Boss sniper.

I've toyed with buying the engram but I want to keep hold of my motes for the time being. I feel something worthwhile will be coming soon that I mat just need them for.
 
What is the fastest way to level weapons outside of bounties?

Doing raid tonight, and want to level my weapons as quickly as possible.

I would like help leveling the Cryptarch, can you come shoot at a cave with me??

Just kidding if the sarcasm didn't translate
 
I am close to 200 Vanguard marks. I have Vanguard Rank 3.

Is there anything I should be spending my marks on? I am full legendary/exotic already. Are people just grabbing armor and disassembling it for shards?

When you drop into the boss area 180 turn and jump behind the boulders, you can hit the boss fairly safely and cover your left side during mid battle spawns.
 
I really need to do that nightfall weekly for the nine coins, but as a Hunter i can't seem to get up on that ledge that people are using to kill the boss.

Psn was down? Oh hell, I just had to sign back in? I dropped $17 for another 3 months of service while taking fire behind cover...

Oh well

? The ledge is the one you enter the boss room on. Just don't drop into the arena. Are you soloing it? If so, you'll have to use the cave/hole strat instead. No way can you fight the minotaur and hit the boss alone on the ledge.

Edit: Weekly strike is okay solo, but I couldn't imagine even getting to the boss room soloing the Nightfall.
 
Who was it that joined us in the labyrinth?
Had to shut my mic off when the very first chest had an exotic in it. Funny stuff.

Congrats on, 'The Last Word.' RNGesus thinks subtlety is overrated.

Hawkian the man in GW2, Hawkian the man in Destiny. Well kind sir, I'd love to try the Night Strike for the first time, I just hit 27 last night so I should be ok to do it? I wouldn't mind tips on leveling Vanguard rank as well in case I'm not doing it as efficiently as can be, took a lot longer to get to Rank 2 than I thought it would and would like to hit 3 so I can finally get a legendary primary. What's your PSN, Hawkian? I'll send you a FR and look periodically if it doesn't look as though you have a full fire team. I'm also thinking of creating a second character tonight since I hit my mark cap already and so I could run a new character with you and another newbie. My PSN is same as username here.

This is an overly verbose, arrogant way of saying you don't mind partying with people. It's good you helped the frustrated, confused folks but this tone? No bueno.
 
So guys, has anyone figured out a workaround for friend requests being down?!? Is there no way to link up someone if they're not your friend?!! JESUS.
 
Will probably host a raid after I'm done watching Doctor Who. This will be on PS4 only and will invite via party chat. If you want in, I will post again within the hour or whenever I'm done watching.
