I'm having a pretty chill time with the game.
Doing my daily bounties and some patrol missions each day for vanguard rep, reaching rank 2 probably this evening. Playing strikes in the strike playlist for marks.
Sometimes doing a bit of chill PvP where I basically just walk around a bit cause with the massive lag I usually get firefights are impossible.
All in all I am lvl 24 now, got lvl 20 weapons in all my slots and will soon have enough marks to buy two legendary items.
I don't quite get where all this "i must farm" and "omg fuck engrams" comes from. I'm getting legendaries by just normally playing the game and buying them from vendors *shrug*

I kinda like this due to it implying actual progression.
Like I said, Bungie just needs to fix the rest of PvE and we may be on to something.
What sort of mechanics are expected in the raid?

Finally, my first one. Getting ready for the Cryptarch to screw me over though.
You're basically now just on the hunt for armor with a better light rating. They can drop anywhere. PVP, Strikes, Patrol or Story missions. It's all just a game of chance. Just pick something you enjoy doing and hammer the shit out of it for drops. If you're one of the lucky ones you'll get good gear.
Alternatively you can just try and up your crucible, vanguard or faction reputation enough then earn crucible/vanguard marks (from PVP or bounties/strikes) to buy legendary gear from the vendors in the tower.
Either way you have a lot of grinding ahead of you.

How do you even do that?

I thinking taking up one of the factions is much easier than buying from either vanguard or the crucible guy since all rep gets converted to faction rep not just crucible or vanguard. Got myself some nice New Monarchy boots and saving up for day nice AR. Then onto dead orbit for thier chest piece...

Playing @2am it can happen. I swore I hovered over a green gun and ended up dismantling a blue I loved by accident.

So what's the better farming location - Skywatch on Earth or Temple of Crota on the Moon?

Jesus christ, how many engrams do you have lying around on the ground in that shot??

The Moon. The the first mission.
I like it too. The heroic one must be insane.
I've been reading theres a stealth mechanic for one section, a platforming area, and something about being teleported through time and shit.
I was watching the stream and was so confused
It's true that vanguard rep gets converted, but marks don't. So unless you got your 100 crucible marks for that week, doing vanguard stuff is kinda useless for your faction.

Both, farming is good anywhere lots of enemies keep spawning.
I was switching em back and forth to see what they all looked like and I had two rare ones, the one I liked I'd had for awhile and another one. I think I clicked on the one I didn't like to see how it looked, which switches it from the slot it is in to the equipped slot and puts your previously equipped one under your cursor, thought "yeah, this one sucks" and held square without switching back. Obviously my fault. Still sad. A trash screen would be nice to have for such things.

That is a possibility. I received my exotic bounty randomly. Though it was after completing some carry over bounties, which I can't remember if they completed a full day's set or not.
You will still get marks for whatever -
vanguard for pve
crucible for pvp
all of the rep goes towards the faction

Anecdotal and based on no facts but I've had better luck on the Moon.
I'm sorry to ask this but there's different factions?
Anyone know what difficulty these farm spots should be played on.
I'm level 24 btw.
Some say random, other say to have vanguard rank 3. I never got one either.

In other news, I feel like by not having this game on PS4 is isolating me from 75% of GAF players. =/
lunlunqq's Old Russia PE timer holds up, smacked down the devil walker for my daily free stuff. I take it ascendant energy is used for exotic/legendary upgrades the same as the shards right?
Vanguard bounties all done for the day at last, onto Crucible later tonight. Time to do real life stuff unfortunately.
I did stick my head into the Raid on solo to see what's what. Typical that the very first step requires you to control and hold three spaced out zones against constantly respawning Praetorians and other level 26 Vex. No looking inside for me today

How would a heroic raid be even possible? You would have to be like level 35.

Correct. Ascendant items plus planet-level mats are required to upgrade the higher level gear.Cømet;130265747 said:

Farming for engrams. I stay back and let the Hive come towards me. I found what what I got from the Legendary engram too, 2 Strange Coins. Could've been worse I guess.

Almost to Level 17 now. Loving my rare scout rifle (but also love my rare hand cannon as well). I've had at least 6 rare drops already, but my friend who is Level 15 hasn't got a single one yet.

It took a team 16 hours to beat the raid? Seriously?
Just got on StreamerHouse and people are saying they've been playing for 8 hours and are not even close to finishing it.

I feel like this game knows when I am farming.
farms area and gets ok drops all engrams turn into shit.
play a strike with a low level buddy tons of drops and all encrypt into upgrades.
lolz.

Very true. Personally I can easily amass 100 marks from crucible so I found this method to be the best way.
Also for the two farming methods above, looking at it (I haven't tried either yet) it looks like Magic's method in Old Russia might be better just because public events also spawn there. This could mean you can also get strange coins and ascendant stuff etc for completing the events.

So when you have a ton of engrams on the ground like this, what happens if your inventory gets full? Will the postmaster really send you dozens of missed engrams?
I have to admit, this game keeps growing on me. Last night I was on patrol on the Moon and got a public event to kill a Walker. Ran over and had a nice 5 minute battle and it was a pretty fun random encounter. I only wish it was a little easier to key in on where the events are located when you get the initial pop-up w/o having to scan the skies and see where the action might be.
Also decided to fiddle with the character creator and wanted to try dabbling with the Hunter class.

My problem with this method is letting the Knight kill me, I refuse to lay down and just die!
Lol - no way. Raids are for people without obligations? Or am I missing something?

You can dismantle all the green ones as you pick them up so still have plenty of space. If you're all blue and still don't have space, then theoritically the postmaster will send them to you. I missed two blues once (somehow).
I like to walk up to him and do a jig.
