Just beat nightfall and hardest weekly. Got ass shards from nightfall and 9 strange coins. One member of my team got a hard light from the nightfall. Other got a purple rocket launcher. I'm glad I got the ass shards and not the rocket launcher. Ass shards are so precious. The game only wants you to grind like a thousand of them to get to level 30.

Ugh, man, I keep getting rocket launchers from everything and it's driving me nuts. I got some rocket launcher from the raid with bonus damage against Oracles, as if I am EVER going to waste rockets on those.
 
Doesn't enemy health scale when there is not people in your party? At least that's what happens with story missions. I haven't soloed any strike so I dunno about that.

On Patrol it doesn't happen though.

Yeah, when I was doing last weeks it was much quicker to kill the boss solo then when I did it with 2 others.
 
If any of you bros see it in the shop, for the love of god, let me know! PM me haha I don't know how many times I've checked the store to no avail.


I'd be happy to, because this Nightfall awarded me Plan C which is Xur's way of saying "get back in there, blast some Centurions and help your friends"

edit: oh and also I've decided all good loot that is non-engram related comes from Xur.

Thanks, buddy! Wouldn't mind doing the regular weekly right after too but won't hog your time if busy. Congrats on Plan C! If the damn weapon merchant ever sold fusion rifles I could get my first exotic weapon... (after the nightfall kills, of course but that's much easier). I'm praying to the Destiny Gods that Xur puts the exotic chest I want in the store this weekend, was way disappointed with his offerings last weekend.

More like 87 to get to 30. Not that bad really.

I have all the shards I need to get to 30 but I am stuck on 29 since I am not getting my last 2 set pieces from the raid.
 
Waiting for the patch to go live, whenever it does, to play Destiny again.

Hey Dax, I don't think anyone answered me before but I know that you'd know, is the patch solely to fix the color engram issue/blues more likely to turn purple? Someone else made it sound like there was more to the update.

Cryptarch Changes
Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly.

•Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics

•Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items

•Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items
Activity Changes

•Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards
Item Changes

•Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade

•Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest–even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already…

Everyone needs to read and understand the bolded so there is no crying when the patch hits.
 
Pretty sure they scale. I actually think the daily/weekly/nightfall are sometimes easier solo until the end boss/wave of enemies.

I think so too. My experience so far soloing is that its overall easier, you just have to make sure you have all the correct tools to get the greatest benefit.

For example, if it's Arc Burn and you have a boat load of arc weapons you probably could and maybe should try soling first. If you don't have the correct element, you'll want to group up with those that do, but the enemies and bosses will be tougher in response.
 
Avoid grinding altogether? In this game?

Impossible.

I have not done anything that I would qualify as grinding while playing this game. I am only level 23, so maybe I will have to soon, but so far I have never felt like "I need better gear or to be a higher level to do what I want to do."
 
Is the patch up yet?

How soloable is the Nightfall this week without an arc fusion rifle? I have a machine gun but that's it. Gear otherwise is pretty good, level 29 hunter.
 
I'm outside the boss room for the weekly strike level 28. Need a couple of people; the DestinyLFG couldn't get it done. The nightfall was easier to do than this is.

PSN Ghekkus if you want to go. 27+ Preferable.
 
Just got Universal Remote from a legendary special weapon engram. At first I was super happy, then I used it... >_>
This weapon is trash in PvE, right? Is it worth it in PvP or am I missing something?
Also finally bought Shadow Price and it's pretty great. Still hoping for an Ice Breaker but not sure if I'll ever get one...
That was my first exotic weapon and I was less than thrilled. Honestly, the last thing I needed was a primary shotty. I play most PvE and I already have access to shotguns via my secondary. Even in PvP I really don't see the point of it.
Because doing bounties that give a small amount of reputation per day, or doing patrols that give not even a quarter of that(10 rep for mission, 25 for vip mission) is much better than trying to enjoy the game and grinding.
I always try to double up my bounties with patrols. Like, I'll wait until I have a bounty for 6 patrols and/or 200 kills from that planet, then it's worth it more. I choose my patrols daily by what bounties are offered. I always need materials so I just try to combine stuff for as many points as possible. Usually while I'm there a public event will pop up too.
 

She'd be reading the same info as the rest of us, I'd assume...

http://www.bungie.net/7_102-Patch-Preview/en/News/News?aid=12202

Yeah I just assumed that there was no way Bungie.net wouldn't be blocked form work but...I can actually get to it! I was hoping Dax would post what it said but tried the link for the heck of it hehe Thanks. Only thing I didn't already know or remember was the rare or legendary engram award for the heroics/nightly. This does indeed make it conflicting to do them before the patch but at the same time you want that week long bonus from nightly hmmm decisions decisions.

Doing bounties is easy as pie and can be fit in while you play the game normally. I have rep with everyone and its really worth it. I swim in legendaries. Plus if you have extra points you salvage the legendaries for shards.

People doing cave grinding are wasting their time.
 
Looking for two people to give me a hand on the level 26 summoning pits strike. I have to kill Xyor to collect my first exotic weapon bounty.

If anyone out there wouldn't mind giving me a hand, please add me. (Level 26 warlock here)
