This game has too Many currencies it's no wonder everyone is confused .
Motes,XP,crucible ,vanguard,spindle,factions ,coins .
I get they want to extend its life by forcing ppl into specific modes over and over but there has to be a better way.

Yup. Just like if you get a certain amount of kills with a particular enemy or with a specific weapon, you get a notification. I fully agree with that reddit post as I am only at rank 2 Dead orbit but that allowed me to get 2 pieces of legendary gear and when I hit the cap for crucible marks I can get another one.
Farming helps but not for trying to get legendary or exotics. It helps by getting you parts, materials and glimmer.
It's actually very simple. XP, spindles and factions aren't really currency. The only currency you worry about is Motes, coins, vanguard and crucible marks. Motes and coins have extremely limited use, so you will only worry about van and cruc marks for the most part. You get the van marks for solo and crucible marks for MP play.
If you guys need another feel free to invite me (PSN Arkano6), no worries if not I'll do the daily story
Will do. One more...?

the loot system is slowly killing my enjoyment of the game. after 30+hrs ive got 1 legendary scout rifle and an exotic armor for another class. (worst moment of the game). the last 10 hours i havent had a single item upgrade (lvl24). i dont even have a lvl 20 AR.
same i actually stop playing it..kinda got demotivated seeing all the raid people get stuff lol
For those looking to farm to raise their light, I've done a couple of hours Nexus with ok luck and thought I'd try something else.
I spent from 12pm to 12am (on and off) at the Crota Farm. Had a day off sick so just stuck on Netflix on my ipad and went to it. Was curious.
I know it's luck based, but if you're looking to raise your light level or score a specific slot legendary armour then don't do this. In the time I spent I could have raise my Vanguard rep high enough to buy that specific piece.
I found 6 legendary engrams and scored around the same from Cryptarch levels.
1 was The Comedian shotgun and another a Hunter Cape (I'm a Titan). Half or so were mats and the rest were redundant blues.
I got tonnes of blue engrams and hundreds of greens, my Cryptarch is almost level 11, and I have 20-30 strange coins/motes, but I didn't raise a single light stat which is what I really hoped for.
Drops aren't quite frequent enough for the farm to be worth it if you need something specific, especially as legendary engrams are so RNG based themselves.
Farming isn't a solution unless you luck out or are farming something that isn't entirely luck based (ie: your Cryptarch level, or mats from chests, etc...).
This has ways been true in any game that allows it, and as Destiny gives you the solution to grind something specific I'd take that if you're frustrated with your item drops.
Farming might make you happy with a lucky item, but it will likely just frustrate you more.

Level 24 Titan, if you're curious.

Thats a new one, i've never seen someone request not to have a mic
EDIT: Does the game try to connect you to the same instance as a friend? I saw Hawkian on the Moon in the patrol area, but never ran into him in game.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! post above should be considered absolute truth. seriously guys don't burn yourselves out. it's a fun game.

I have had a full legendary/exotic setup since yesterday, I bought a couple of the pieces. But I have been doing the dark beyond mission for hours and hours just farming engrams. My cryptarch is lvl 15, and I still have the stuff that I started farming with. I cannot get anything better. I think I am done farming and I am just going to start a new character or something. I dont have anyone to play the raid with on 360, so there is really nothing left to do on this titan I guess.
Only thing I really want anymore is a better primary, because the thorn is a piece of shit

I only farm, because I have too. I need materials for upgrades. The game itself does not provide it. I want blues, greens and glimmer. I had more fun farming that spot then anytime during this game.
Weird, I know. But it felt like I was actually getting something for my work.
Getting a legendary is just the icing on the cake.
I agree. But I love Crota.
It's very visceral to stand there and watch enemies running headlong into lead salad auto rifle fire. They know they have to run at me. I know they have to run at me. But I have more bullets than they have heads, so I win. (until I let myself die on purpose, I guess)
Rewarding everyone equally keeps the less skilled players in pvp so you get to feel all powerful!

Well I can if you really must, but I've not slept!

I believe it's at the minutes on the hour in real life. So say it's 1:40pm where you live now if you head to The Divide from 1:40pm to 1:45pm there is a high chance an event will happen.

level 24 strike playlist gives you 6 marks per run

I did that the other day, its not exactly 500 kills. I was jumping up almost 50 points per match. I think it counts assists, kills, and I think u get more for streaks and stuff
Really? I just picked up Light in the Darkness exotic bounty since I wanted a handcannon lol.

Doing level 24 strikes.
You get 6 vanguard marks for each strike completed.
You also can get 5 vanguard marks for each daily heroic, a few from completing public quests and 5 from turning in 50 of any resource from a planet.
Strikes are definitely the best way to go though in my opinion.
A mixture of Vanguard playlist and PvE tasks, like public events.
I have like 2 Vanguard bounties left total. Where the fuck are they?
Oh OK. Well that'll be more reasonable.

it holds six shots and reloads extremely slow. Not good at all unless you are only up against a few enemies, which I seem to never be.
Also, its special skill or whatever is very weak and essentially pointless.

It only resets the emblems, don't get your hopes up.

Seriously? That sucks. 3 of the shaders to purchase look so similar. Would have been nice to mix things up.
