Why don't you just buy your Legendaries? It'll take less time to win the requisite Vanguard/Crucible marks than you're spending on a boring farm procedure. It's a lot easier, in my opinion, to just grind for Marks. You know how far along you are and at what pace you're progressing instead of relying on sheer luck. You might even get some stuff as drops along the way.
I got 100 Crucible Marks during the first week. I got 30 today, and went to the Handler and got me Gauntlets and Leg Armor. Took me from level 21 to 24 actually. By the end of the week I'll have earned enough to get the Chest Piece too, taking me to 25-26 once I level them all up. It's a lot better than just hoping a randomizing algorithm will prize me.

Is the raid ridiculously hard at level 24 if you've got Legendary weapons? I've been stuck at 24 for a long ass time now and I want to raid.
so do you get extra vanguard rep besides doing the bounties in patrol? does each mini mission give you vanguard rep as well?
No one has beaten the raid. It's really hard regardless of level
seriously, i fucking love getting more coins cause come friday they turn into loooooooooooooot
Well yeah, I think I got like 15 coins right now. That's probably gonna buy me something nice but god damn. Probably gonna do a bit of farming tomorrow after school and if that doesn't net me atleast one piece of legendary, I think i'm gonna throw the disc out of the window.
no it isn't. being aggressive with a close range weapon in any game is always the riskiest way to win. mainly because you don't know what's between you and your target. its great when you're dealing with people that disregard radar, corners, sightlines, and headshots though.
if you run and gun against a team of good players, you're gonna have it rough. if you do it against bunch of clueless people who are going about their first time in firebase delphi then by all means - stream that shit and look pro. there are tons of people in pvp that look like they've never played a fps before
Ahhhhhh yeah!
I must have it....

i support this post. i had a match against a warlock, i saw a bunch of my team left quickly didnt know why until i i fought this fucker. he had lagging spikes and never in the two matches i played couldnt beat him with my titan.
i used my rifle, shotgun and grenade and never did a thing on him.
TL:TR- leave the match if you see laggy people that isnt in your team(lol) because you will have a bad time. the match turns to who has the worst connection instead of skills
Yes, 10 vanguard rep per completed patrol mission, 25 if it's the assassination mission (the star mission icon)
read the posts above. stop farming, ust get some rep and marks and stop burning yourself out

But that's even more boring than farming for loot! Really, what's the point of a loot game if the only way to get decent stuff is to buy it?
why?

Woah. Random drop? Looks like a raid item

Nothing more satisfying than a Titan putting up his shields in control, and instead of going in you start dancing in front of it taunting him to come out, then you run out the door when he does, hide in a corner and shotgun his ass.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.

You should not even enter the raid at 24.
25 should only do the first area.
26+ for anything else.
28+ for the boss everybody is stuck on.
I can confirm that Destiny's loot system is bullshit, but at least it worked in my favour this time:
Lol man youre one lucky bast*rd!
( hope to play some strikes tonight
)

I think it is a raid item. The description and name sound like they're referencing the Vault of Glass.

Wait, no one has beaten the raid yet? I thought there was a team facing the last boss earlier.

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?
Something triggered in my head while I realized what I was doing. I've got my equipment in full legendary. Is it really worth running around farming materials and grinding marks all day long and wait for weekly resets and such in order to upgrade these items?
I told myself no :/.

You may not notice a difference because the differences are likely minimal specifically because you can farm him up pretty easily. Remember people in the Beta farmed him up super high and got all kinds of Legendaries and the beta was level capped at 7. The increase is likely pretty small per level but will pay out long term. As in way too long of a term to measure within the first week and perhaps even the first month.
It's not going to be a drastic change like, for example, a jump from 10% to 40%. It would become the defacto thing to do and would break the designed progression.

that map sucks when isnt Control mode, then it turns into who is the better camper. i hate team mates that dont get it and instead of sweeping inside the bases they go outside looking for that sniper on the edge of that map that killed him/her for the 4th time to get killed again
What do you think of the Stranger's Rifle? I've murdered with it on First Light and Bastion and I'll be the first to say I can't aim.

last night i took my sniper rifle with me to the Devils Lair strike, had 5 of those auto-restock ammo items for my rifle.
Just sat back and sniped the tank for maybe 2 minutes and killed it lol. Sniper was doing 900 damage to the legs, and 1900 to the body when the core opened up.
with glimmer basically being easy to obtain, ill be stocking up a massive amount of ammo for a Raid in the future.

Good to know you can get sweet loot without finishing the raid
They are actually referencing the Seraphim Vault which is underneath the Forgotten Shore in Old Russia and will be part of the "Danger below" expansion pass.

Lol, yeah. You don't even need the ammo, actually; just sit there with your empty gun out for 30 seconds, you get more ammo for free.

In theory, sure, but I think Destiny's PVP, maybe due to the maps, tend to reward aggressive forward-moving gameplay. Also, I didn't specify anything about the weapons being used, just the relationship of moving towards versus moving or keeping away. I'm making no assumptions on the range of the actual weapons being used.

Strike playlist for level 20 and up.
I think the Stranger's Rifle is pretty bad to be honest. Fully upgraded - it might be worth it once the stability tightens up its burst but because its such a 'loose' pulse rifle, its just not worth banking on at all. It might be doing you favors because of that though.
I still hold to the idea that preference is more important than "Get an AR because they're the only thing that's good". There's a lot of swing room in that. There are generally agreed upon reliable weapons and there are those that work great you in particular. Stick with what works (until Iron Banner at least lol)
The depleted hand cannon exotic bounty quest where you need to get 500 points using the system of "+5 for kill with void damage, -2 for any death in crucible" is horrible. I understand exotics should be hard to get, but being a hunter it means I have to find a secondary with the correct affix and change my play style while maintaining the K/D ratio. It just doesn't seem fun.

Has anybody tried this farming spot? I've basically given up on farming but if people say it's better than say the first moon mission farming then I'll consider it.

I still don't think its true though. The way that Destiny can get incredibly busy at a moment's notice... you don't want to charge into things against people that know how to play.
You can typically tell right away if you're dealing with people who know what they're doing. The game is dramatically different.
