Are the 3 vaults in the Tower 3 separate vaults or the same Vault with 3 access points?

 

[ComputerMKII]

you killed both of the majors (ones with yellow life bars)

No, I didn't.

 

[AaronWatermelon]

Any 27's-28's wanna hit up that Nightfall strike?

 

[Savantcore]

What's uppppp?

So I made this quick video to show you guys where I farm and how I FINALLY got some PURPLE STUFF!!!

Some of you probably know about this already but for those who don't try it out and let me know if you've had any success.

Also please be patient. Of course you can get lucky and get a purple or multiple ones in 20-30 minutes or so but it does take time to grind this out but it is very rewarding because not only do you get abunch of green/blue + chance of purple engrams.
But also you get so many that you can level up the cryptarch multiple times after maybe a 2-3 hour run depending.

Sp yeah I hope you like it and never go back to THE NEXUS haha j/k

This totally works

 

[Seiru]

So is there a point to winning or even doing well in Crucible?

 

[Calcium]

I found three rare ship blueprints today and all of them are the color brown. Way to go, Bungie.

 

[btkadams]

This totally works

Sarcasm? Or truth? I'm at work and wondering.

 

[Hawkian]

game really caters to people who do a little of everything. after not getting anything that was an upgrade from pvp up to 23, I got a helm and chest upgrade from a few rumble match that got me to 24. Starting to learn the maps and counters too.

now I think I'll do some vanguard bounties and get that to rank 2. haven't seen a single purple engram let alone purple/exotic item, but still having a blast so far personally.

 

[Tawpgun]

By the way, can we all be cool about raid spoilers here tomorrow?

One of the cool things about the raid is there are no waypoints or directives. So you have to pay attention to dialogue and maybe explore some in order to advance. Please don't post how to get past stuff or whats in the raid. Spoiler tag that shit if you must.

 

[Revolutionary]

Ok that We've woken the Hive strategy is legit. Second drop was a legendary. I'm doing the level 28 version though.

 

[BraXzy]

You know with that new farm method, do you need to complete the mission once before you can do the restart thing? I didn't really understand that bit and I don't start by the gate.

 

[malfcn]

Ha!

Seriously. Awesome post..

 

[Figments]

So when in the world is Bungie gonna release a Windows Phone companion app?

Windows Phone demands to be heard!

 

[Mazre]

Personal shrine trial run ~45 minutes

13k glimmer, 13 codices, 10+ idols, 1 legendary engram, 3 rare engrams, several greens. Ran through playing punch out basically and titan slammed the ogre plus friends.

Also completed 4 bounties.

Edit: Womp womp, warlock chest.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

I'm losing my shit. I keep getting disconnected in the middle of a mission.

Maybe it's the heavy rain, but I have fiber optics and a land line. I never had issues with rain in the past.

 

[Sigma722]

No, I didn't.

Yes huh.

Jk, that's all I've heard to avoid them from respawning there. next thought would be to leave a couple of the lower level guys left before respawning

 

[ak1276]

So when in the world is Bungie gonna release a Windows Phone companion app?

Windows Phone demands to be heard!

Wait. Is that still a thing?

 

[Savantcore]

Sarcasm? Or truth? I'm at work and wondering.

Truth. Done it around ten times and already got a dozen greens and a couple blues.

 

[nicoga3000]

Aim and shoot are R/L and it's got it's own remote play mappings. It's really good.

OK cool- may try that for some really mundane farming runs for a bit.

 

[Figments]

Wait. Is that still a thing?

Yes.

Spoiler

;-;

 

[Poodlestrike]

Wait. Is that still a thing?

Best phone OS out there.

 

[Heroman]

I dont think it matter what level you do it at.

 

[Sigma722]

Yes, I too would like to see spoilers tagged for the raid. It seems like the first challenging part to this game. I wonder if we could get a mod edit..

 

[Namikaze1]

Would've been happier if the raid was next week instead. I work tomorrow, wednesday, and Thursday so no raid till Friday for me.

 

[Cømet]

No, I didn't.

Did you go through the door at all? If Dinklebot says anything before you kill yourself, you've hit a checkpoint. Happened to me, but that's cool cos I got a legendary engram to check at the tower from this

 

[ComputerMKII]

Nope :/

 

[Daemul]

What the fuck, I get the same amount of rep from doing a small 5 minute patrol quest that I get from doing a Strike playlist level 24.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Doing PCP's method.

After 14 deaths I've gotten about 10 uncommons, a rare and a legendary.

Works pretty well so far.

 

[MidEvlDed]

I don't understand why people are falling off cliffs for glimmer when you can just Patrol on Earth, walk 50 feet to the bunker with the 3 Hive Ultra's, kill them for 25 glimmer each in 15 seconds and they drop codex's often, and to reset their spawn just walk out the room 20 feet, not even going back upstairs, and turn around they respawn.

I use this for the Kill 10 Hive Majors & Ultras bounty.

There are also chests down there and some Fallen. What is the difference compared to this moon farm?

The difference is, it's scary down there.

 

[Cømet]

Nope :/

I really dunno then :/ Working fine for me still.



PS: That damn legendary engram was a warlock bond. That's TWO legendary warlock bonds I have now.

 

[Revolutionary]

I dont think it matter what level you do it at.

Yeah I'd actually recommend not doing it at 28 lol got a few more drops but it was difficult to get the kills.
Edit: Legendary was a Legendary Rocket Launcher. I am now officially Suited for War.

Thanks High on PCP. Good method.

 

[super-famicom]

Did Bungie release an update? I turned on my PS4 just now and it says Destiny is downloading a 296MB file. Is it just for the Raid tomorrow?

edit- says it's version 1.03 now

 

[Mr Croft]

Any 27's-28's wanna hit up that Nightfall strike?

Kinda late doesn't it reset tomm?

 

[FloatingDivider]

Was excited to get an exotic weapon bounty. Did every step, but the last step is a lvl 26 strike on the moon. I need people to run it with me but my girlfriends asleep and I can't talk. I basically need to get to phogoth where we kill ads for several minutes until a special named boss spawns. Anyone up for this? Add me on psn at YzeNup.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Bungie already has me locked in. But I am an ex wow addict... lol

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

Well, since I havent seen a link posted in this thread about these patch notes yet, im guessing they havent been released then............I know they are out there some damn where. I didnt get a patch update just now for nothing.........

 

[ryuken-d]

wow, that's brutal.

This game does not want me to have a legendary helm. Got another legendary helm engram for leveling my Cryptarch, and yet again it was fucking nothing.

holy shit dude my game doesnt wnat me to have any good helms I still have a fucking green helm and I'm vlv 20 with all blue shit wait... and a couple legendary things. I've got a way to go. Its frustrating seeing how many strange coins I need etc. I have 2 and I need like 23 for good shit. ugh, also I need to play crucible way more than I have.

 

[malfcn]

I'm late. What is the patch?

 

[Sheroking]

So what exactly entails a "reset".

 

[super-famicom]

Apparently 1.03 will fix problems people are having when connecting to the servers using university internet.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/69073682/0/0

UPDATE 1.0: We’re making progress toward a solution to the university network issue. A potential cause are security devices that don’t recognize Destiny network traffic. We’re in touch with the manufacturers of these devices to create an update that we hope will enable you to play.

Stay tuned as work on this continues. In the meantime, it might be a good idea to learn the contact information for your network administrator. Stand by!

UPDATE 2.0: We have isolated the issue and are working with security device manufacturers to release a fix this coming Monday, September 15th. Affected universities will need to apply the patch from the security device vendor to fix the problem.

Once the patch is released, we’ll add details to this thread that you can forward to your network administrators. Stand by, be brave, and have a nice weekend.

I'm trying to get a raid group going for tomorrow morning on XB1. I'm thinking around 10am Pacific. PM if you're interested!

[ryuken-d]

you cant trade in this game can you..or give away sucks. maybe later.

 

[Alucrid]

the patch was just bug fixes. three i can confirm are

• players being able to talk in fireteams
• legendary engrams decrypting into legendary items
• high scoring players in the crucible receiving rewards

Wait, you're supposed to die to get all those engrams?

Holy shit, BOMBA if true! Does the top one include people being matchmade into parties as well?!

 

[Diablohead]

Really? The loot drops are bothering you?

Loot I can just about bare, it's the dry PvE, the broken PvP and general boredom i'm hitting while trying to play destiny, it just gives me urges to go back to titanfall and PvZ, but I keep trying to like destiny for what it is... it's just not working for me.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Wait, you're supposed to die to get all those engrams?

Yes, let them kill you then it restarts and they spawn all over again.

At this point I'm just avoiding killing the Knight. That's what seems to trigger the next section.
