Uh fun while it lasted, the Shrine of Oryx farming technique has been patched.

The hell the drop rate is already stupid low they didn't need to do this imo. :( Are they trying to funnel people into pvp as that seems, form the outside looking in, like the best way to upgrade gear.

Exactly, it was the best way to get around the borked loot system :/

It's not. I played PVP for 20 hours total over the weekend and managed to get 6 purple engrams total and 4 of them ended up being blue anyways so I don't think it the best way to get legendaries or exotics.

There is no good way now that they're patching things out. PvP is probably the best option though

So, I had no idea about this farming strategy where you kill yourself then re-do the previous bit with waves of enemies, my random strike team were jumping off a ledge and I kept rezzing them, one then messaged me in Russian, no doubt asking me what the hell I was doing. :B

My next strike didn't go that well either, but only because one of the guys hid behind a desk for most the boss fight. So annoying!

I kind of hope Bungie nerf the bosses just a little, the amount of damage they take is incredible, and with a random team with no tactics it all just takes far too long.
 
Has anyone picked up an item that's not for their class? Not an engram, but an actual piece of armor?

Just happened for the first time, hopefully it's not something to do with the patch.

eh, I think I'll stop worrying about engram drops. if anything we're lucky they even gave us a route for gear progression outside of the weekly marks and raid lockout.

Well at least there is that, I just noticed lots of gaffers post picks of their first legendary and it came form pvp.

Edit: Sorry I feel your pain I not cheering the fact you have had shit luck, just that one method especially one I have almost zero interest in, not being the clear best way to get good gear.

went 26 and 4 got fucking noting while everybody got good shit.

Fuck this game.

It's random, man, don't stress about it. Most multiplayer games don't give you loot at all when you complete a match, you just play for fun and bragging rights. Be happy you did so well.

yes, it's very common.
also very common with legendary engrams is to get worthless blues or greens out of it.

I've had 6 legendaries, 1 was out of class, the rest were worthless blues, greens and materials i have no use for.

So how do the factions work? If I equip a Dead Orbit item, for example. Do I only gain reputation points for that faction? Or do I still also gain vanguard/crucible reputation as well?
