I'm level 24 and I didn't see a legendary engram drop for me ever, until an hour ago. By RNJesus it managed to be a legendary weapon.
The only prerequisite is playing more and luck. Heavily more towards the luck side though.

Anything you stick in your Vault gets transferred across characters.
Anything you put in your storage can be accessed from every character.

Finally unlocked Mars in the Story. If I'm focused enough, I should be done with the story on Wednesday

They already have one. I've had people in my party go afk and get booted due to inactivity.

Don't think so.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow. Hope the We've Woken The Hive-thingy isn't patched when I get home from school 
Does Bungie normally patch things asap if something is broken?

well you're kicked offline if you're inactive for a period of time (i think it's 15 minutes). that's standard in most MMOs so you aren't deadspace on a server. but there's no inactivity penalties AFAIK.

i'd hope they didn't patch farming in a game designed for you to farm.
No, I meant in pvp. Either they got kicked for inactivity after a few minutes, or their D/C's coincide with them going afk. But it's happened a few times.
That's actually great info. Lol I played this for so many hours with my level 28 character and did not know this. Thanks.

am not sure what you're saying. the game will knock you to the title screen for inactivity and I believe it's indifferent to what mode you're playing.
Don't mind it being based on luck, I just wish you could tip the odds in your favor by doing good in crucible or completing a harder strike...
The fact that there's no loot incentive to challenging yourself is just fucking dumb,
How close to lvl 26 do i have to be to attempt the raid? And what gear
You have to be level 26.
I lost so much time doing stupid shit because this fucking game does not explain core mechanics, but does a 10 minute cutscene with Smurf Queen about a story nobody cares/understand.
Never explained factions and I thought you would be better finding you legendaries/exotics by playing and NOT grinding like a fucking F2P.
I will give you a word of advice: level up your reputation, play for your faction and buy the armor from them, at least the grind to get those items will pay off with exactly whay you want to get, spare yourself decoding fucking purple engrams for blue pieces with shit stats.
I don't play PvP, hate it actually, but if you like that you will be set, the drop rate there is ridicolously good AND you will up your reputation with your faction.

I'm 100% certain you can't get a legendary from strikes. I've never seen one. Your best bet is to farm an area for an hour or two and hope for one. I got my very first one today from farming glimmer, finally. It turned into a rare, but the glimmer I got from farming leveled up my cryptarch once and I got a legendary that turned into chest armor.
Still stuck at 22. Missing out on the Raid for a while. Major bummer since it'll be the first Destiny milestone I'm missing out on day 1.
I don't think they can. It's just an area with a huge number of enemies and a convienient checkpoint.Wow. Hope the We've Woken The Hive-thingy isn't patched when I get home from school

luck is fine if there is a consistent and predictable way to increase your chances. you don't know when you're going to get something, but you know that what you're doing will net you some rewards, and those rewards are not going to end up being worse than they appear. that carrot-on-stick system is addictive and keeps people playing, even if the content isn't good.
the current system appears to completely random though. you have as much of a chance finding a legendary from a level 2 dreg or from losing a match of salvage as someone doing a nightfall strike. and you have even less of a chance of that item actually being legendary.
it's counter-intuitive. if they start patching the farming runs it'd be a huge turnoff. they'd basically be saying "sell your soul to RNGeejus" or grind bullet sponges for 2-3 vanguard rep to buy your legendary gear.

I've had legendary engrams drop from strikes and seen others getting them so it definitely is possible.
So I have yet to receive a legendary item for my Titan, but today I got 2 legendary cards for the first time. The first was nothing special but the second was the exotic Universal Remote shotty (primary weapon). I'm also working my way through one of those exotic bounties but I have to complete 25 strikes. I did a couple but I'll wait til tomorrow when marks reset.
I also finally got to Vanguard level 2 so I can buy stuff but I'm going to see how the bounty goes. I opted for the exotic pulse rifle because the others required some shit I'm not willing to do. I wanted the exotic scout rifle but it required "legendary PvP exploits" or some shit and I don't think I really can.
Also, shoutout to PSN: narutogameking for surprising me and jumping into my go at the weekly strike. That thing is sort of a bitch solo. It was the first step of the exotic bounty.

bungie said level 25 is enough.

Negatory, you can be below 26.

Of course, Bungie goes against it, but personally I'm not expecting hard bosses.

The mars strike was awesome until that terrible boss fight. Seriously that was a horribly bland fight.

Ok I'm 21% certain. I've never seen one though in many, many hours of strikes.
I'm sorry but I'm calling bullshit, I have NEVER seen a rare as a reward in a strike, they even say the kind of reward is blue.
You can have one drop from an enemy while doing the strike, but that would be just luck, you can get one licky drop even patrolling an area with level 2 fallen.

I completed the final story mission tonight. The bounty forced me to. I didn't get the end credits tho! I wouldn't mind hearing the Paul McCartney song, any way to watch the credits?

Anyone have any solutions for fixing network errors?
I am constantly getting booted from the game with various error codes. I'm lucky if I can play 10 mins or more.
I get Fly, Bee, etc.
I get back to orbit and I am instantly connected.
I am hardwired to my router.
It's really annoying.
I've seen pretty much all the cutscenes 10x times. No other games give me issues.

is it the one with
the guy who has a heavy machine gun and stands in one corner of the room, and then every few minutes he'll slowly walk to the other side of the room?
yea, that was an anti-climatic fight. at least let us destroy the floor and knock him into lava or wield a giant rocket launcher to hit him with.
They're a destination on the star map, if I recall.

Finally got a legendary set of boots..... for Titan
Bottom right corner on orbit screen
I'm 26 with two legendaries, one exotic, none of them are upgraded after requiring ascendant shards.
Two would cut it with enough upgrades, but you may be in ascendant territory.
I have Exotic gauntlets and a Legendary chest piece, the rest are Rares and I'm lvl 26. By getting to level 2 of crucible/vanguard, you could buy 2 Legendary pieces and I imagine with the right Rares, you could get 25-26 I'm thinking.

I have legendaries that I'm scared to decode. I feel like I should just hold onto them for a while. Maybe Bungie will change shit up.
Try an direct connection to your modem and see if the issue persists, if so, it's your router.

Didn't appear on my Crucible playlist selection about an hour ago, just had Control, Clash, and Rumble.
