Just did the Daily Heroic Strike (Level 24) by myself quite capably. Annoys me that we can't choose to then do the higher difficulty to get the rewards we missed out on. It's either go big or get nothing.

Where is this? Still playing story missions but my brother and I co-op at level 20 and 19 respectively at the moment...
 
In a few months it'll be easy. It's always like this in an mmo. They either nerf the raid, or raise the level cap/introduce better gear.

but...but... this isn't an MMO!

:P I agree with you. It'll be possible at some point.

So I was able to get another legendary primary today. Another Pulse rifle so that makes 2 legendary Pulse rifles. Idk which one to go with :( Too bad it wasn't a different kind of weapon so I could just keep them both around for different uses.
 
Eh I guess, but not being able to get the plat for months is kind of lame. I just feel like it's not a good trophy because all it takes is one person dying once, and you lost.

Well, if they're gonna support the game for the next two years, i guess it kind of makes sense.
 
Is there any benefit depending on who you give the mats to? I don't want to collect 50 spinmetal and learn I gave it to the wrong guy or whatever.
 
Didn't recognise my playstation plus so I had to restart the game.

Worked after that.. Strange.
I had that happen last night. First it said use of user generated content not allowed when I turned on the game, and then when I tried to join my friends it said I didn't have PS+. Restarting it did help, but that was weird.
 
ouch. Maybe wait to turn these in for Bungie to hopefully patch this.

This is what I'm doing. I've honestly had more luck with Rare Engrams turning into Legendary items than Legendary Engrams turning into Legendary items so I'm storing all I get for now and just decrypting the blues until they either change the was purples work or they say they aren't even going to change it.
 
I've been stock piling my legendary engrams in my vault. Not gonna open them until I've leveled the Cryptarch to a high level.
 
going up against titans in salvage with the bubble shield made me question my religion.

Ugh I hate them, camping spots with the shield. I keep my titan smash for them exclusively now.


Selling spinmetal to who? If I sell spinmetal to crucible quartermasters, I get rep/marks?

Yup, the quartermasters. Selling to the vanguard Q gives you vanguard rep/marks, crucible Q gives you crucible stuff.


Thanks for the encouraging replies..

I have a question. Now that I capped the level, how can I level up my sub-class?

You can keep levelling after reaching the soft cap, it just turns your extra levels into motes of light. You can still level up your sub classes like before.

I wish people understood that some of the trophies and rewards are not supposed to happen first day...

Gonna hit 20 today. Feels fucking good!

I feel like Bungie needs to patch out the Flawless Raider trophy. There's just no fucking way you can get that. Impossible.

It's not impossible. You're just not trying hard enough.

Another legendary engram. It turned into rare, level 14 pants. I am a 23+.

Thanks everyone for the explanation. Pretty disappointing for me - was hoping for a more neutral MP experience given that Bungie were in control. Shame.

Neutral is for squares. Personally, I prefer rhombi.

Check your PMs, mate.
 
Anyone that's done phogoth on the weekly strike have any tips? It feels like there's so many damn mobs coming from all directions.
 
I need me a legendary shotgun, sniper and fusion rifle. Can't wait to grind it out in Crucible. I'm freakin' pumped to try and complete that raid.

Anyone know what rewards were given to those who completed it?

Yup. All of this reminds me of the weeping and gnashing on Gearbox forums when BL2 released; particularly around the drop rates of Legendaries.
 
I dont get my friends sometimes. They have put days into this game and are better equipped than the people that beat the raid, but they say they dont care about the raid and will never do it. The
shader
as a reward turned them off to it even more. Kind of mad I got the game on 360 to play with them
 
Care to share your group's levels and classes?

Level 26 Hunter (Bladedancer)
Level 26 Hunter (Bladedancer)
Level 26 Warlock (Voidwalker)
Level 27 Warlock (Voidwalker)
Level 27 Titan (Defender)
Level 27 Titan (Striker)

lol damn I didn't realize you were a gaffer. Thought I was watching a random stream.

How far did you get? I thought you got to boss 2?

We made it past the boss in the second area, past the labyrinth, and found the Vault of Glass room. We stopped though because two people needed to leave.
 
So I watched the beginning of the raid before I went to bed last night and it seemed pretty cool. Did anyone watch the rest? Did it hold up with the beginning? Did anyone actually finish it yet? If so, how long did it take?
A GAF group I was in got through the first encounter and past the first boss within 3hrs or so of it going live. Due to timezones we stopped after that but holy fuck was it an exhilarating ride!

A shader, apparently for killing the final boss. But they got loot from each boss or section.

The 360 Destiny players are with you in your time of need.

I.E. there's barely any of us.
 
Open invite to anyone playing later. I'll be reaching level 20 around 7pm Central (USA) and am down to do some co-op stuff, I'm not picky.

My PSN is GKW212

Add me if you want to rock tonight or any other night. I'll be playing a bunch over the next 10 days.

Speaking of, any PS3 users here? I play on PS3 sometimes with a good friend of mine and we'd like to do content.

I go hard on the PS4 version though, as some of you can attest.
 
Any slots for PS4 raid groups running in a couple hours? Level 27 with all exotic/legendary other than my primary and willing to return for more shots at it if needed.
 
I just got the Destiny Limited Edition guide last night, and I didn't look at it too much because I spent most of my free time playing, but I did want to mention here what it said about engrams.

It does say in the guide that engrams can give you a higher level reward than it should. So a blue from a green for example. But it also says that you can get a lesser reward too, so a green from a blue. I'm summarizing here, but it's clear that this is intentional from reading that.

The guide also said that you have a better chance of getting legendaries from yellow bar enemies essentially, but I have not found that to be true at all. My one legendary that I have gotten in the field dropped from a dreg. Even farming Oryx there are multiple yellow bar enemies there and none dropped legendaries. Although the chance of dropping might be like 0.50% we dont' know.
 
Ah, alright. 3 people from my group last night got a piece of legendary gear for completing one phase of the first boss, the rest of us got ascendant crap.
Hah, poor bugger. I got the Warlock Gauntlets, which give you a boost to Super charge for killing the Praetorians and the Oracles (enemies in the first two encounters) in the first Loot Drop and then got 3x Ascendant Shards in the next drop.

The Raid armour is specifically designed to make the Raid/s easier.

Also, on a side note, I farmed the Moon after leaving the Raid and got a Legendary Rocket Launcher from a Legendary Engram. FINALLY!

They also get "loot for days" apparently.
Plus there's always a chest when travelling inbetween each section too, that we found had Rare Components. I got Ascendent Energies each time.
