Yeah, depending on the strike you'll either need just one or two dudes or the whole group focusing down new enemies. On something like the Mars one it's not as important especially on slow Phalanx waves but for the Nexus strike where Goblins and Hobgoblins can spawn all around you, ignoring them would be bad.
Yeah they have a new feature called boss mechanics.
yeah it's random, but there's been shingen's up before. People are good at mentioning in here when something good is available.

Because you can't buy what you want since there's a weekly cap on reputation marks. I'm not in their position because I'm pretty much spending my time in PvP and I don't care much about gear in there, but there are pretty undeniable design flaws in the loot system . It relies too heavily on rng both in PvE and PvP. I've been playing with two friends, and them a few more hours than themselves on my own, and I'm full blues while one of them is pretty much decked in purple gear,

They may have set their invite to closed or friends only.
On PS4 press option, then L1 to go to the Roster and it will show friends who are in the game and any people in your server session and you can invite them from there if they're open to it.

Cryptarch is 1/3 the way through level 14 and still no purple class armor. #thanksbungie
Unknown. Random I assume.

I feel the same way. The amount of complaining that people do about not having legendary items in the first few days since release is too damn high.

Do the Crucible guy and the Vanguard guy sell the same exact shit?
Alright. Sending you a friend request.
Faction armour specialise in two out of the three mains stats, Intellect, Discipline and Strength. They're for basically there for people who want to min/max their build.

Yeah... so? I also got a few blue drops yesterday that ended up being worse than the gear I already have. But I ain't upset because of that. There isn't that much content available now anyway so what' the point in getting to the maximum now? Just to complain that you are there already? People are weird at times. Doing the same content over and over may be exhausting but that shouldn't be anything new for people who have played MMOs. I played FFXIV for only 3 months and swear to god I could sketch you most of the lower level dungeons with my eyes closed because of how many times I've done them.
The guy I was quoting is already level 26.
Getting to Level 20 doesn't take long at all. Do the story mission and a few bounties and there you go. I easily leveled my Titan to 20 over the weekend - and I am a really slow player. Bounties give you an insane amount of EXP.

The other factions needs an option to buy with vanguard marks. The game is already heavily slanted towards pvp as it is.
Should be different mods and stat distribution on the gear. At least it is for Warlocks.

Legendary loot is too common.
What is your purple ratio of how you got them?
dropped vs crucible vs strike, etc.
Huge oversight.
The story missions are pointless to most people. Not only does the story suck, but the missions are really disappointing. Still, if I want to play solo give me an option besides boring ass farming.

Are you sure it just wasn't the crucible earning you legendaries? Patrols are basically farming as much as the next activity, and I don't have any luck with those either. Crucible on the other hand seems to give much better gear than strikes. Getting the Cryptarch to level up and get a gift from him is the only way I can consistently get purple engrams. Unfortunately they turn blue or become an item for a different class.
Right now I'm a Hunter without any Legendary gear; however, if I start a Titan, I'll have a Legendary helmet and armor.

Then it is not "people". It's the guy you were quoting.
There are legit complains about it.

Just hit level 20 last night. Apparently it's gonna be a nightmare from here on out? :/
Getting to the maximum is the whole point of the game. Getting better gear. And it's more of an issue with the system to begin with. It's vanilla Diablo 3 all over again. The whole point of playing is to get better gear and play higher level strikes/raid. If you don't get the gear, you can't do that. There have been people stuck for days not getting new stuff to advance and then are locked out from playing higher level strikes/heroics/etc.
Gold tier on public events gets them sometimes
If you are chasing the RNG dream then yes

You can buy what you want. 65 marks for chest/gloves/boots means anyone can have 3 legendary items this week guaranteed.

Upgraded the Cryptarch to level 8 and he's gone back down to selling all whites. What.
public events and raid have chances of dropping ascendant materials.

If you followed this thread then you should have noticed that the gear you get is purely luck based - like it was to be expected. Some people seem to hit level 26 very quickly while others struggle with it. It's just like in any other similar game. I really don't see the problem here.

I jumped from 20 to 23 pretty quickly. 23 to my current 24 and a half has been an absolute crawl.
Magic Bungie combat, it really sucks otherwise.
hahahahah
I need like 13.
I wish the public events were more common. It's nice to see players in the vicinity get brought together for a common goal but it's a shame it happens so infrequently.

All you have to do is buy that factions cloak or other class item, wear it, and when you are out gaining reputation in PvE you will get rep / marks for that faction instead of Vanguard.
It even says that if you scroll over the class item.
Three of my exotic/legendary pieces I bought after attaining Crucible and Vanguard rank 2 and buying the exotic gear during the weekend.
The boots I got lucky and got them as a reward from a Crucible match.
Pretty much. I was level 24 two days ago, and I'm still level 24 today despite putting in at least 15 hours in those two days. Zero progression for the time spent is pretty annoying; it's especially bad when you consider that just about everything you do in the game iiss supposed to be progression focused too.

Sunsinger is pretty fun, don't know whether I want to go with Viking funeral and grenade ignite or longer super and two grenades.

You know that store Forever 21. Well I am forever 20. Fuck me I cant get ranked up. Shitty luck on engrams too. I have switched to farming glimmer at Hall of Wisdom, level 12, Shrine of Oryx (Moon). Averaging 8500-10000 glimmer an hour and ranking up Cryptarch. Had a few descent blue drops no purple.
It's all RNG

You get them for doing Bounties in Patrol Mode
I got a Legendary engram from a loot chest last night. Actually got four drops out of it in total.
Turned into a legendary rocket launcher. It makes me laugh at everyone trying to cheat the system, when all you need to do is just play the game, have fun and eventually you'll get the gear. Chests, purchasing from vendors, mission rewards, bounty rewards, crucible rewards, random drops from slain enemies... Just play the game.
I have two pieces of legendary, one from the chest above and one from a vendor. Loving the game, it's a blast.

The game has only been out for a few days... Grind for rep gear which is guaranteed.
Did you just continue with strikes and mission stuff? I hit 20 and am avoiding grinds.
