how many rep points do you get for each 50 mats?

25 Vanguard rep, IIRC. It's not a terribly efficient way to increase rep, especially when you'll also need those mats to upgrade legendaries and exotics.

My recommendation is to do your full allotment of Vanguard bounties every day, then go somewhere like Mars that has a lot of assassination (star icon) patrol missions since they're worth 25 each. Also, do the weekly heroic strike if you can manage it, that has great rep rewards as well.
 
That was a sorry excuse for a raid last night.

We breezed through those parts on Sunday night.

Lol. Can't speak for the rest of you, but I was getting lag all over the damn place. Could have just been a connection thing.

Other than when we were trying (and failing) to open the gate for an hour and a half. That was just bad.
 
How many of you have yet to try the raid?

Just trying to see if I am like the 5% of DGAF that hasn't done it yet. I want to this weekend when I have more free time. It seems so much fun from what I hear/watch/read, and I really want some raid armor!

Level 28 Defender Titan

Still currently at level 24 (need to farm for upgrades but... can't be arsed), so no I haven't tried it yet. :'(
 
Only 2.2% have completed the raid so far. I'm sure the majority of gaffers haven't.

Jeez much lower than I thought, my friends and I are halfway through.

PS that no one dying achievement/trophy

NOPE never gonna happen.

Also I would strongly recommend that people are 27 at least for the raid from my limited experience of how it goes our one 26 died a lot.

Not tried it yet, well not properly, I'm a 27 defender titan
 
I'm looking for more level 29 friends who want to do the hard raid on ps4. If your level 29 or soon to be level 29 send me a friend request.

I hope to put a group together at some point or get lucky and be invited to a group before the refresh.
 
Well I think friend-only fire-teams are pretty much that.
PSO didn't have a persistent world thing going on, where you saw other players down on the planets, which I like about Destiny.
You wouldn't want to go down onto a planet with only 3 other people, would you? Kinda takes the social aspect out of it a bit.

I think calling what Destiny does a persistent world is going a little too far.
I don't think I have ever seen more than 6 people on any one map at a time.
Maybe I am just unlucky? I am playing at weird times since I am in Japan.

PSO may not have had that aspect, but PSO2 does it infinitely better than Destiny IMO.
The levels are obviously smaller, but ti does the exact same thing where you sync together with other parties and players outside of your own fireteam. I think you have play with up to 12 players so 3 full parties.

The biggest difference is that PSO2 actually has a goddamn lobby system so you have full control. Heh
 
Don't rely on drops lol. That's why I farm marks. I buy my stuff. It's very easy to cap Vanguard marks even when your playtime is limited.

Is that how you get your ass shards then, buy legendaries to dismantle? I had thought about that, but was thinking it would be too much trouble.

Then again, after a week of miserable drops I'm now thinking it might be the best option. What do you usually buy with the marks? Class items are the cheapest but do they give shards?
 
Not that I'm not appreciative...

But I literally have the worst exotics.

Plan C (Fusion Rifle - Nightfall)
Truth (Rocket Launcher - Nightfall)
Thunderlord (Heavy Machine Gun - Nightfall)
Bad JuJu (Bounty - My favorite of the bunch)
Invective (Bounty)
Thorn (Bounty)

Thunderlord is god tier.
Planc, truth, invective are all decent.
 
At the last part of my Invective bounty, somehow mis read special ammo synth as heavy, bought like 15 of them before I decided to check again >_<

That one will be doable once other raids are out and people outgear/level VoG by a country mile. You'll even be able to kill the Gorgons!

I am not surprised. I still think they should implement matchmaking and make the clan feature actually useful in game. I need to see all my clan members in game. It should be a different friends list so I can immediately hook up with them for a raid.

I get my shards from Public events, you have to be patient. Class items don't give shards afaik and the cheapest piece of gear for shards costs 65 marks. If you manage to farm 65 vanguard marks and 65 crucible marks you could buy 2 pieces of gear.
Then again, what is your goal? You want to hit level 28? Did you get shards from the queen gear?

Something wasn't right. It may have been lag.

But if I were to turn to statistics. The two bottom players were Trix and Mercy who had significantly lower kills and k/d.

As far as Sunday's raid, Trix was also a bottom performer, so we may have to drop him going forward.
 
Bungie needs to revisit Raids and matchmaking.

If the purpose of Raids was to get you to play with friends. It's already failed miserably.
The fact is, the only players I've been able to get into Raids with were complete strangers (most of which are 14 year olds, complaining about school etc..)

It's frustrating having a high level character (29), and having to repeat the same low level content over and over again, because none of your friends are A) high level enough, B) already have a group they run with and would like to keep it that way.

The daily grind is starting to wear thin. I feel like I'm grinding, just to grind, with no purpose. I have a ton exotics and legendaires, they're all I carry. But, all that hardware is worthless with nothing to use it on.

I'm aware of the GAF meet up threads. But, the fact that I have to resort looking at these threads proves Bungie screwed up.

Weely strikes, and Nightfall need to have open and closed matchmaking.. Raids need matchmaking period.. We're already playing with strangers.

actually I found out it is better to have a goal in the game, for me it is getting the Hawkmoon

so that means I'm going to play the game forever

Completely agree, all the lfg site is is an extension of matchmaking anyways. We arent discussing strats then joining together, we are literally matchmaking externally with randoms.

I dont get why it isnt in
 
Marvel, are you online? For some reason, you're not showing up on the intake list as being neither online or offline. Yet I still have you on my friend list.
 
Did the raid again last night after the reset. Got the same sniper from the last raid and the shader. That's it. Argh. While the other guy gets 2x Raid gear. :(

I can't speak for everyone but doing the raid with complete strangers via matchmaking without mic is not something I want to do. It's pointless. You'd never get the raid done that way. Nightfall and Weekly should be doable though via matchmaking.
