With the current lack of content towards the end of the week me and a friend (and one lucky matchmaker) yesterday started doing strike time trials. It's a lot of fun just rushing like crazy.

These are our current times, the Devils Lair is the least impressive.

Summoning Pits 8:39
Cerberus Vae 10:48
The Devils Lair 12:30
The Nexus 9:30

Feel free to beat us, I'd love to see a leaderboard in the game. One hour nets you a loooot of engrams!

I've done 9:15 for Devils Lair recently. havent tried to speed run the others yet.
 

Tomorrow morning.

I hinted at this earlier but is there any concern those us that primarily do Crucible will get obliterated when Iron Banner opens? I know I haven't completed a Raid yet (or even started one). I think we're going to get owned hard.

Didn't Bungie think this stuff through?
This is where the completely random end of match loot rewards are going to come in handy. I know I'm going to get destroyed since I haven't been very lucky getting the really good weapons, but at least I'll have a chance to get some nice stuff.
 
Hmm, that's what I said, but I placed the time before the event lol

I reversed it, I am silly.

*****

Reminds me (in a weird way), especially with Iron Banner approaching. I am tired of PvP'ng solo. I prefer a team. Any room for me? I'm usually a solid 2nd or 3rd place on every team I've been on.

Usually.
 
Great, just soloed the weekly nightfall and I won LIGHT BEYOND NEMESIS aka the coolest Warlock helmet out there, which would be awesome, were it not for the fact that I already have the Sunbreakers.

Bungie, lets us wear more than one Exotic FFS!!!

That helmet will come in handy once you start getting normal raid armor. Exotic helmet + normal raid chest, glove and leg armor is the quickest way to 30.
 
Those sites don't tell you that you need at least one person in the zone 5 minutes before the timer for the event to pop.

This is my 100% guaranteed run on Earth.

55' : Mothyards
10' : The Divide
25' : Mothyards
40' : The Divide

Doing patrol missions to fill the gaps.

If you respect the "Be there 5 minutes before", the event ALWAYS starts.

But would these events still happen if you are the only person in a zone? My experience has been no... you need at least one other person in the area...
 
What I need: Legendary or exotic auto rifle.
What I got: Legendary scout, pulse and sniper rifle, exotic fusion rifle, exotic hand cannon and legendary rocket launcher.

Meh...
 
I started using this map for public events, it seems to be more accurate than the website.

Yes, even if I'm the only person and I'm there 5 minutes before, they always start. The thing is they are sometimes 2 minutes early OR 2 minutes late, so if by X+1 minute they didn't pop, don't leave yet.

Example : for an event starting at X45, I'm there at X40, and the event is starting between X43 and X47.

Never failed since we do it this way, at least on the "Mothyard - Divide" run.

I've had a few events the last week that happened when I was the only one there. Had to defeat a fallen walker by myself yesterday. Still got gold tier. :p
 
Red Death is great in PVP, once ARs are nerfed, I think it could be the best aside from mytho.

Ah I lack that gun. Okay coo, good to see some folks are using Pulse Rifles. I was incorrect earlier then (when I said no one uses pulse rifles in Crucible). thanks yall
 
How do you guys handle the faction rep? Do you stay with Vanguard and crucible or do you earn it all to one of the other three factions?

I really can't decide if I should stay with the default ones or choose one of the other three. Do the factions get more items the higher you get their level or do they only have what they show before you join them?

I really need a new helmet for my titan. Right now I have the queens helmet, but I can't get over how ugly it is, but I don't like the looks of the ones the factions are selling either.

That's great news because I was having problems getting them to pop. Thanks!

Skywatch is pretty reliable for events, so I think that map is off a little bit.

I've had far less luck with anything on Mars, and more often than not I get a "Kill so-and-so before he escapes" when I'm on my own, which is just a waste of ammunition.
 
With so many people talking about the Suros, I'm starting to doubt my decision to go with the Shadow Price.

Shadow price is an excellent weapon, fully maxed. It's the best backup for a suros when you need to equip something else as your exotic in one of the other two slots. I do that all the time when I want to use Gjallahorn or something else.

If you want to use Crucible marks (which you should since you can get up to 100 a week) but don't want to grind out Crucible rep, join a faction and upgrade it. Choose any of them, but see if any of them have gear you're more interested in. Your faction rep can go up quicker since Vanguard and Crucible rep is funneled to it.

Factions are a waste of time too me. Massive waste. Because the equipment doesn't get you to Light 30 as far as I know. Plus, if your Vanguard rank not at least 2 and you go grinding faction then those marks will hit the cap and you'll lose'em

Factions are Bungled too me.

I think the most efficient way is to focus Vanguard and Crucible first. Either of those have the largest pool of weapons to choose from at Rank 3. Then focus a faction. If you try to do factions first, your vanguard marks are just going to stack up until you hit cap because you won't have anything to spend them on since the factions only take Crucible marks (which is dumb imo). Plus the factions only have 4 weapons each at rank 3 (2 primary/1 special/1 heavy).

The factions don't seem to get new items, so pick a faction with the item you want and train for that. Keep in mind that Dead Orbit, New Monarchy and FWC only accept crucible marks, so you'll need to play crucible if you want to buy them.

You get a legendary item from each faction you get reputation level 3 with, and an additional legendary item for every level after 3.

The only way to raise crucible reputation is through crucible rewards and bounties, so I don't usually wear a faction class item when i play crucible or turn in crucible bounties.
 
Probably explains why I had so much trouble getting the Sky Watch event to actually pop up. :/

Yeah SkyWatch is pretty hit or miss for me. Most time I just get that 'enemy is moving against each other' event. Which is fun to watch in its own way, but not when I'm just trying to farm the daily reward or a bounty.
