Time once again to pray to Xur. Please sir, The Last Word, Red Death or Ice Breaker would be a lovely use of my coins.
 
Can someone repost that Oracle map for the templar boss fight on hard?

Our fireteam made it to that stage but keep on missing one oracle and can't figure out where exactly. Thanks.
 
Flo_Evans and I have done some research:

Amount of XP required to upgrade a slot on weapons based on weapon type:

Primary Weapons
  • Rare: 6,000 XP/slot
  • Legendary: 9,000 XP/slot
  • Exotic: 30,000 XP/slot
Special Weapons
  • Rare: 5,000 XP/slot
  • Legendary: 7,500 XP/slot
  • Exotic: 25,000 XP/slot
Heavy Weapons
  • Rare: 5,000 XP/slot
  • Legendary: 15,000 XP/slot
  • Exotic: 25,000 XP/slot
 
I would run the strikes that had bounties first and then switch between earth and moon raids on easy and sometimes mix it up with the vanguard playlists. It took me about 3 days with 2-3 hours each day to complete it but I was doing other things like bounties, patrols and public events for a change of pace.

That sounds like good advice, thank you. I'll try this tonight
 
That does sound like a better system. But it also sounds complicated.

Destiny hasn't shy'd away from complicated (i.e. factions) but RNG is the juvenile way of dealing with loot.

Loot should be scaled to the enemy, not the character killing the enemy. In Borderlands 2, you beat the game at level 50. Restart in new mode... first level in the game the enemies are level 50 and you do it all over again.

Destiny could allow you to select difficulties for EVERYTHING. You want to farm the loot cave? Okay, fire up the level 28 cosmodrone patrol and get to it.

The issue of anything being complicated only appears when people are confused. The system in TOR rarely has anyone being confused after it's explained by senior players.

Also, given what we have in Destiny so far with the shared world and people going on their own missions, if any, the game has a bigger scope than Borderlands so a New Game+ can't really happen, but I do agree there should be more difficulties. However, there's already difficulties in the game for every mission that scale enemies up to level 28 within instances.

This?

From here.
 
Yep, when you think of it as grinding rep it sucks. I enjoyed this process more by mixing bounties, patrols and public events together. The public events help with marks and you get at least one ass mat plus all 3 build rep too (I think public events do at least) so you can be doing a variety of things at once. Maybe you'll even get a random drop with something nice while you are doing it.
Hitting up patrols and public events is a perfect opportunity to get some chests and material nodes too- great for downtime. If you started doing bounties as soon as you could (level 4 I think), there's a pretty reasonable chance you'll be about to hit rank 2 around the early 20-levels: exactly when you need your first legendary piece to progress.
 
Thinking about creating a warlock alt. How are you guys leveling up alt characters quickly? I already sink a lot of time into my hunter, but I want that sunsinger for self resurrecting. I can't imagine putting time into both evenly. I do have legendary and exotic gear in the vault for the alt to help once I get to twenty. Just burn thru bounties and do the minimum story mode?
 
If you see ?? XP that means I don't have the data yet, quote this post with a link to your bungie profile if you have one of those types equipped so I can pull it.
I have special and heavy weapons that need upgrades... http://www.bungie.net/en/Legend/2/4611686018429255378/2305843009215488711#gear


on another note... combined arms sure is seriously awful. let's phase that one out boys.

PvP is also fantastic XP if you don't mind the handicap. Maybe level 8+.
 
No the one in the previous ot that had the red and green dots to show positions. Same map but with dots.
Yeah I know what you're talking about. Someone (crudely) made that in paint here though I believe. Not sure how to find it.

The map I posted has the oracle spawns though. Isn't that what you need?

After Suros Regime was offered, I think any of the better exotics can be up for grabs which is awesome. I really thought it was only going to be the slightly lesser ones. Hopefully one of these will pop up.
Bring on The Last Word.

That's exactly what I did, and exactly what happened, yep.
Was a bit low on the vanguard marks, though, but that proved lucky, as one of Rahool's packages got me the legendary armor I was about to buy...
 
Not sure it's been mentioned, but make sure you try to get to the ~2500 kill limit on each planet, in order to unlock the extra resources from chests. I just realized I need another 100 kills on Mars to unlock that one. It really helps. I get a purple out of an Old Russian chest at least once a week. Well, pre-patch anyway. Also, motes are like once a day from chests for me. PEACE.
 
For everyone that is recommending the Shadow Price over the Suros, did you get it randomly or buy it from the vendor? Only wondering if the vendor locked benefits are any good or if I have to pray to RNGesus for the best version.
 
Meeting some great people on GAF playing this game.

I don't know what all their names are on GAF but GibbShift invited me to his raid and we did the whole thing yesterday for the first time. I was the relic holder and it was really fun.

Got a ship, Praedeths Revenge, Found Verdict, Hunter cloak, and some upgrade mats. No raid armor but it doesn't matter it was fun.



Is there really no way to change your name in destiny? It has to be your PSN name?
 
Unfortuantely, no :(. Gotta have the clan tag ingame for the whole fireteam.

Yeah, no worries, thanks for getting back with me. I might just make a new clan real quick if we can get enough people together.

If anyone on PS4 wants to do normal raid or quick strike for the clan trophies send me a message here or on PSN. I'm Lv 30 Titan with 10+ raid clears, normal raid should be easy clear. Obviously a strike would be really quick and easy.

PSN is DrDrizzay101.
 
25000 XP/slot for that exotic special. Do you have an exotic heavy you can equip?
Sure- let me remote in and I'll equip thunderlord.... holy bejesus what the fuck you can equip weapons from the Companion site. sorcery. why do they even allow you to do that? you can decide at work what build to run when you get home? just what. brain.

okay sorry, it's equipped.

Mark acquisition really accelerates when you can do the Tiger Strike playlist/Daily Heroic Story/Weekly Heroic/Weekly Nightfall without too much trouble. In other words, it's much tougher to afford your first piece than your third.

Where do I check that?
 
No the one in the previous ot that had the red and green dots to show positions. Same map but with dots.

Kensuke made it, but I don't have the picture unfortunately. I have it memorized though. It's pretty easy.

3 people on the far right hobgoblin platform from where everyone spawns. Position each other where they're behind the blocks. Two people will only focus on the oracles they see. The third person will be in charge of killing/sniping all of the hobgoblins that spawn on the right side of the zone. He'll also be in charge of killing the Hobgoblin that spawns on that same platform.

2 people at the entrance ledge.

1 person in the closest left platform. Hide with the block to your left so the left hobgoblins cant see you.

This allows you to see every oracle without worrying about getting sniped or killed by minotaurs.

Another way is to have four people stay at the entrance. Two people stay in the little cubby hole on the right. Two people stay at the left most area.

Two other people stay in the far left area away from the entrance so they can snipe the oracle that spawns in that little alcove on the left.

Where do I check that?

On Bungie.net. Check the Places grimore cards.
 
Keep grinding rep, that is the most efficient way to get legendaries. I was in the same boat. However, through just focusing on rep, I have gone from 20 to almost 24 through the random drops and am nearly closing in on Rank 2. Lvl 24 is the peak before you need legendaries to progress. Overall, I think the progression path works well and if you follow the intended method of progression you will not get stuck at a Light level for an extended period of time (at least until you need Raid gear).

I was lucky enough to have 1 blue engram turn into a Legendary Primary Scout Rifle, but even without that, I would get there soon enough.

Guess ill have to grind vanguard. Want to get some raid gear and actually do a raid!

This is just fantastic. Fine work gentlemen and/or ladies. Can I put it in the tips and tricks post (with credit of course)?

Warning: do not spend too much time on the above page if you have "filling bars" OCD.
 
Honestly,I am looking at it like this: The amount of people who are/will be lvl 30 is a tiny tiny subsection of players. Most players will be 28 or 29, which are levels that allow you to do all content in the game.

With the first DLC we are getting a second raid at least, which has lvl 28 as it's base level. This already means that if you aren't 30 when it comes out,you now have two raids every week (technically 4 raids for normal+hard mode each) that give you the chance of drops. But not being 30 never skips you out of any content. i see it as less of a normal "max level" and more of a "special" level cause it's literally the only level in the entire game you can only reach via drop luck. every level from 1-29 can be reached without needing any drop luck at all.

You can do the raid in under an hour with a good team, which gives you legendaries that get you to level 30 if you rank them up. Also, repeating the raid like that will give you the shards necessary to rank them up. Hitting 30 should be smooth (pending RNG favor) for most folks who have the courage to learn the raid.
 
Thanks, although fyi that map is incorrect, only 7 oracles, bottom left and right on that map don't exist
It did seem like too many, but I can tell you the left side is accurate as I always play the left in our raid runs. There's one by the stairs top left (next to Templar spawn), one on the base level on the left where the conflux spawns, and one back a little on the opposite stairs. So 3 on the left. And I know the one in the center is accurate as well.

Can't speak to the right side though b/c I've never played over there!

Awesome! I was doing this myself earlier trying to work how the numbers and noticing how 2 bounties were unlocking the next upgrade on my Legendary rifle.

If you have all 3 weapons equipped which aren't 100% upgraded the XP goes 3 ways. So I'm equipping 2 weapons which are fully upgraded along with 1 which isn't then all the XP goes to just the one gun allowing upgrades to come quicker.
