It's useful once you do Nightfall. Trust me on this.

Was talking about PvP. I imagine it's almost a requisite to kill things in relative safety on a Nightfall Strike

Do you not get anything if you lose in Control now after the update? My team just lost and nobody got any rewards...

What do you mean by rewards? Loot? If so it's a completely random roll, everyone getting nothing is just one of many possible statistical realities.

 

[disastermouse]

Yeah, those Legenrare engrams can kiss my ass. And when it works, you usually end up with a different class item. I'm a Titan dammit! Not a Hunter!

Put it in your vault for when you eventually start a new class. That's what I'll be doing.

 

[Zephyl]

For the moon farming method does it matter if it's set to level 9 or 20?

Just bad luck..

 

[hydruxo]

For the moon farming method does it matter if it's set to level 9 or 20?

It's random either way so it's easier to just do it on 9. Same chance of drops.

 

[Twilight Gap]

For the moon farming method does it matter if it's set to level 9 or 20?

9 makes it easier to kill the acolytes

 

[Hawkian]

For the moon farming method does it matter if it's set to level 9 or 20?

Yes. Set it to 9 because it makes things more be dying easy.

 

[purg3]

For the moon farming method does it matter if it's set to level 9 or 20?

I have it set to 9 and I've gotten 4 legendary engram drops in the last hour or so

 

[Norns]

Doing the PCP method, I haven't gotten anything other than a few uncommons.

No blue or purples.

And how long have you tried it?

 

[Hawkian]

Have we worked out for sure when the weekly mark cap reset is?

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Did they changed their mind about the matchmaking on Raids?
Because with these bad impressions, summed up with those level 26 requirements, in long run I doubt that will be easy to make Raids without matchmaking.

 

[BipolarBear629]

145/500 on this void crucible bullshit.

why bungie. why. Atleast I will finally get an exotic.

No man, after that they keep adding more bounties. That is what they did for me and I am still not done. The worse part is I'm doing this for an exotic hand-cannon, and I don't even like hand-cannons.

 

[Twilight Gap]

should be 2am pacific tuesday

 

[Trace]

Marks reset tomorrow right? I want to be able to buy my two legendaries and be able to play weekly nightfall/raid.

EDIT: beatarino

 

[Zomba13]

So I farmed that sweet new moon spot for about an hour and got something like 12 blues and 2 purples. All turned into blues/greens except the last one. I got a Legendary chest which I ACTUALLY needed! It isnt an exotic, but I sure as hell won't complain. Oh and to top it off, I got enough Motes of Light to get the cape I wanted!

While some would say save the motes for the RE4 merchant, I say you look frabjous.

Nope. You'll need 5 buddies to help out, and while it's less than ideal GAF is a good place to get players together. (specifically this thread)

 

[malfcn]

What is better?
A Painted Suros or Galahad AR?
Same ROF and Impact. G has less range, but more stability.
One upgrade is improved damage when ads.

Is that more suited for pve than pvp?

 

[Computer]

IDk what I am doing wrong but I am not getting anything dropping in the new moon farm.

 

[Hawkian]

No blue or purples.

sounds like RNG in motion

Pro-tip: if you choose to farm in this game, do not consider it a "path to purple gear." It is an avenue for raw profit with the chance to get lucky every so often. You will earn a ton of Glimmer and materials for upgrades that are useful and that should be factored in to what you get out of doing. If you just go with the expectation of "farming until you get the legendary you want" you'll likely have an awful time.

should be 2am pacific tuesday

So that's like... umm, 7 hours yeah?

While some would say save the motes for the RE4 merchant, I say you look frabjous.

While Guardian Fashion may not get you into the vault, giving your motes to Xur is also a little like pulling the lever on a "Class Roulette" wheel. Definitely prepare to get an exotic for another class if you spend the mote-motes.

whichever feels better.

and i generally don't see the point of ARs in PvE at all

Funnily enough, we did anything but kill things. When my group did Nightfall last night, I literally just said during the Septiks fight I literally just said 'Ok you just sit in this corner, and revive us.'

There was one tense moment where everyone but me died and it was like....goddamit bob.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Can you post pictures of your cape bro.

 

[Somnium986]

Finally! Got a legendary helm! Now I just need to upgrade.

Literally.

I'm assuming that arc special/heavy is pretty much a must for that weekly?

hmmm so then what does it have anything to do with Arc Blade?

Literally.

Both weeklies, hell yea

 

[Byron Bluth]

I finally got an exotic bounty!

Now I don't know which of the 3 to choose.

Does it matter?

 

[lazybones18]

Need two poeple for the weekly strike at Level 26

PS4: Lazykarl24

 

[mstevens]

For those people who play FPS a lot and are good at multiplayer, I'm not sure you realize how frustrating it is to not be great at these types of games. Multiplayer consists of getting killed over and over without even seeing the person. I have no problem playing single player missions though.... Frustrating.

 

[Trace]

hmmm so then what does it have anything to do with Arc Blade?

Invisible = they don't shoot at you?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Just finished the story. Man.. It's all there to be really fucking good but it just seems like ALOT was cut or changed last minute.

Very weird

 

[Papercuts]

No man, after that they keep adding more bounties. That is what they did for me and I am still not done. The worse part is I'm doing this for an exotic hand-cannon, and I don't even like hand-cannons.

Oh god this might not even be the last step?

[neoism]

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

did this to 1500 kills and only got mostly greens and a few blues... did get a shit load of weapon parts and wires.. my luck is bad..

 

[Hawkian]

Invisible = they don't shoot at you?

Sorry for being dense, again, what does that have to do with Arc Blade? Why not just use Stalker for invisibility? Is the Vanish invisibility a lot longer?

 

[peteykirch]

And how long have you tried it?

For nearly 45 minutes.

I had nearly 1000 kills / 55 deaths.

Does the user level have any bearing on it? I'm only Level 13, I did set it to Hard at the beginning of the mission.

 

[Cømet]

you know what i'm noticing? the faster you kill enemies in rapid succession, the more likely they are to drop engrams.

could just be coincidence

I've had this too. When I'm using my machine gun (rapid as hell) I get more blues dropping out of thralls than using my AR.

 

[lazybones18]

Oh god this might not even be the last step?

Sfkjaslfjalkfjsalkfjalskflsajfioajfeaof.

Prepare to do a different strike on the Moon. Only this time, it will be much harder

 

[Zomba13]

While Guardian Fashion may not get you into the vault, giving your motes to Xur is also a little like pulling the lever on a "Class Roulette" wheel. Definitely prepare to get an exotic for another class if you spend the mote-motes.

Guardian fashion will get you into "The Vault" though, the Tower's trendiest underground night club. Only frabjous Guardians need apply.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Literally.

I'm assuming that arc special/heavy is pretty much a must for that weekly?

Yeah. In some parts it's hilariously easy(Spider Walker), other parts a pain(Wave fight).

hmmm so then what does it have anything to do with Arc Blade?

EVERY THING! Well, arcs the only one with stealth right?

 

[nicoga3000]

Anyone wanna do the daily heroic story?

PSN nicoga3000

 

[IxmagicmanIx]

Unless someone else has played more than 81 hours/has a leveI 13 cryptarch and has ZERO purple armor for their class I win the bad luck pity party.

 

[Trace]

Sorry for being dense, again, what does that have to do with Arc Blade? Why not just use Stalker for invisibility? Is the Vanish invisibility a lot longer?

I was operating under the assumption that stalker only gives you invisibility while you were crouched.

 

[kittens]

Okay, Destiny. You win. I'm gonna resort to farming to get to level 26 by tomorrow.

 

[disastermouse]

So...Crucible rewards are totally random? I've been avoiding it because I know I'll get owned (got owned in the Beta)...but shit, might be worth it just to get a chance at some decent gear. Sure beats running strikes with randoms and not having the bosses drop any-damned-thing AT ALL.

 

[Einbroch]

The PCP method is awful. Two guys that drop glimmer and a bunch of crappy normal enemies.

You can clear than Shrine of Oryx or whatever section in 35 seconds, easily. It's guaranteed 350 glimmer and eight yellow bar dudes that drop good stuff.

 

[Hawkian]

For nearly 45 minutes.

I had nearly 1000 kills / 55 deaths.

Does the user level have any bearing on it? I'm only Level 13, I did set it to Hard at the beginning of the mission.

Oh. Absolutely, yes. You do not need to be farming at level 13 by any stretch of the imagation, ever, at all.

I was operating under the assumption that stalker only gives you invisibility while you were crouched.

Then enjoy having your mind blown. After it kicks in, you can stand, walk, sprint, slide, jump, double jump while still in stealth. Only using a weapon (and Blink :'() take you out of it.

 

[fquick]

Go figure, first Legendary item from a blue. There is hope. Thanks for the moon spot!

 

[Darryl M R]

Pics

Thanks, I was debating on grinding to get the cape. Now I don't know. I want the cape the Stranger Exo chick wears

 

[calder]

Sweet, just hit level 20. Feels good. Oh, a shader in the mail, thanks robot postkeeper dude!

Jester Apogee huh... oh god that's hideous. Oh well, it was a freebie, let's hit up the shader lady. Polar Oak, Provicial Royal and Aurora Blur are my options and according to the shader previewer on destinytracker they are all *unbelievably* ugly.

6 hours until store refresh QQ. Here's hoping for Thunderdevil or Arctic Proxy

 

[Bacon_Boss]

did this to 1500 kills and only got mostly greens and a few blues... did get a shit load of weapon parts and wires.. my luck is bad..

Yeah i'm trying this and i'm getting overwhelmed pretty fast by "just shooting." I've just got a blue AR with a 36 shot clip and after the first wave i get torn up(i'm level 21.) There has to be something i'm missing here.

 

[DY_nasty]

Sorry for being dense, again, what does that have to do with Arc Blade? Why not just use Stalker for invisibility? Is the Vanish invisibility a lot longer?

vanish takes a lot of time to use. arc blade isn't exactly a quick startup either

the clock is ticking, and its not like you maintain the clock for the entire duration either. showstopper just does the job better. people can't see you if they're already dead.
