It was fun at first, but playing the same strikes over and over and over again is starting to wane on me. I don't know if I have the willpower to grind it out for more Legendaries, Strange Coins, and Motes of Light. I guess I'll have to start playing the Crucible more.

Is there a point to using + light armor if it doesn't raise you another level? I'm level 20 right now with something like +8 light altogether but have better stats on my non light gear.

You're probably better off just using the other one without light for the time being until you get enough gear with light that allows you to level up.

I got a Legendary Engram from farming PCP and it turned into a Legendary Rocket Launcher.

BELIEVE!
Oh yeah! Well, I got a Legendary Engram from farming Venus and it turned into Strange Coins. -__-

But then, after the second trip, I got another Legendary Engram and it turned into an Exotic Auto Rifle! :D

The third trip though, I don't want to talk about it.

Go run patrol missions, do public events, and farm chests.

You'll earn Vanguard Marks and some ascendant materials from the public events, rep from the patrols, and get glimmer + materials + the odd rare/ship from the chests.

You can turn in excess materials at the tower for more Vanguard or Crucible marks and the turn-in gives a big chunk of xp just like a bounty turn-in, great for leveling weapons/armor/spec.
 
Can someone tell me what the raid is like? All the time I spent watching streams took place in a room with the team spread out shooting supplimentors (hapry variants) or whatever their called, and a super HP heavy boss. Another thing I remember seeing is some part where the team kept getting teleported back to some room where the can be "marked by the void" which makes their screen go dark like what happens when you go out of the map and get the "return to map" message. I'm assuming that's all I saw because the majority of the time they spent stuck at those parts? I was hoping there'd be more adventuring from area to area than what I saw.

See, this right here is why I hate you right now. I would grovel for an Exotic Auto Rifle, especially Suros Regime or Hard Light.

Has anybody done the last part of the exotic bounty for Thorn (Handcannon) where you need to do the lvl 26 "Epic" Strike on the moon and kill "Xyor the Unwed" (random spawn named wizard during the boss encounter)

Keen to understand if using the second room (where you spawn) is manageable and doesn't reset the boss? or is it better to use outside and rocks as cover?

Any help/tips etc would be greatly appreciated

So what's the "better" way to get engrams? Chest runs, or engram drop runs?

Chest runs for engrams? I think I can count the number of engrams I've obtained from chests on one hand... Is there a trick I'm missing?

The more popular farming locations have given me more engrams in an hour than chests have since release.

Watching the QuickLook. I've known almost nothing about this game, other then that the one E3 demo looked cool, but why the hell does the surface of Venus look like a level from The Last of Us, complete with what look like contemporary cars in ruins?

Got an email from Bungie today that details what's in the expansions a bit more, might be old info:

Ensure your adventure continues by reserving your Destiny Expansion Pass and gain access to both Destiny Expansions: The Dark Below and House of Wolves. Each expansion includes new Story Missions, Crucible Maps, a new Strike, and a new Raid. In completing these new missions, you'll earn a wealth of new weapons, armor and gear.

Pretty cool there's two more raids coming from them.

So huh...noob question, about the sub classes. Does it take as long to level up the second class that it takes to level the first one?

if you're talking about as a means to progress, don't worry about looking for engrams. they are random. they drop everywhere but the odds of one being exactly what you need are horrible. focus on earning the various currencies you can (marks, strange coins, motes of light) and buy the gear you actually want. along the way you'll get lucky drops every so often. a basic set of gear to get you to 26 is really not that intensive to get.

edit:
So close :>

That's just one area on Venus, rest of it looks different.
 
Three rare primary weapon engrams, all green auto rifles. This game seems determined to make me use the Stranger's Rifle for eternity.

They really, really need to fix the way loot works. I'm not sure how much longer I want to put up with the constant Russian roulette.

Right but like, you're telling me that in like 500 years or whenever the collapse happens people are still using what looks like Volkswagons? I mean, in 1914 cars looked like this

Its a nitpicky thing but a lot of sci-fi games do this and it drives me nuts. See also: Vega's dumbass grey t-shirt and dog tags look in ME3

The Traveler magically terra formed/allowed us to terra form the planet, so humans built cities and drove Priuses there. But the Darkness came, yadda yadda yadda; everything is in ruins now.
