Exactly what I'm doing.
So what is the method for getting shards? Do they only really drop in the raid? I know you can get one by doing your daily public event, but how are you supposed to rack these up to upgrade legendary/exotics?

Any of you guys buy the exotic body engram from Xur?

Yes. I played with a couple of gaffers last night and we got rolled hard. It didn't help that I was a 24, and we did 26 since they were 26, but it was still a train wreck. Bring some Solar weapons, the shielded Wizards clean house and the Sword Knights aren't slouches either.
huh? is he back??? i got coins and motes!!!

OK, cool. That's an easy strike if you use that rock in the northwest corner of the map, no?
Can I get through it as a lvl 20 Hunter? What's your PSN? I'll add you if I haven't already. I'll be leveling up more over the next few days. I got from 17 to 20 last night.

Can confirm this works. Grinded an hour last night got 6 blues and 9 greens. Use black wax idol to get more glimmer!

Today I hope to get my last piece of legendary gear! I just need a helmet and I'll have a full set of Legendaries with an exotic on the way.
Just need 50 more Vanguard marks which will be easily attained doing my 25 Strikes for the Exotic Bounty. Feels so good.

Haven't tried Skirmish, but I'm pretty sure that with Rumble I'd always be in the bottom half netting less marks per game. May be worth it, but I dunno.
Never heard of this strategy. My team just ran around in circles killing trash and hitting the boss when we could.
My PSN is Afrodeeziyak. You might want to get some levels before trying it though. Those Wizards and Knights are no joke when you can't stun them and they're mostly golds.
It does seem like most planets, especially the moon, have tracks that extend most of the planet.
Bungie need to look at more for the community than just raids and PvP.

Nah man, he'll be back on Friday - I was asking if any of you bought the exotic engram from him? Apparently it has a chance to be for another class but is unknown if it's always exotic. Costs 23 light motes

I usually do Clash since at max it is 12 minutes... but is Rumble and Skirmish quicker?
I dreamt Math, myself, and the four gaffers on the Fireteam last night somehow beat the first raid boss. We then continue on our merry way before standing in a clearing where hundreds upon hundreds of Pretorians stood, waiting for us. Yeah, it ended exactly how you think it did.
I kept yelling at my character to reload but she wouldn't.

Most of the maps sucks.Some of them are to big while other are to small. No reason to any weapon beside auto rifles,shot gun,and fusionI really enjoy it, the only one I seem to suck at is Clash, but I've still not tried that in a coordinated fireteam, so that is probably the problem there.
Love the maps, love the gunplay.. still not loving Fusion campers, but meh..... I just try and draw them out for AR/'nade death
Rilfe. Trade kills suck. Super are unbalanced. No reason to good. Map rotation is dumb
Vehicle are op. No map flow.

Wow, nice dude. I'm a lowly level 20 still rocking mostly green gear. Weak, I know. I'll get there though.
What legendary primary and secondary weapons are you rolling with for "all-purpose" situations?
It really sucks. I hope they fix it soon, because it seems that there's a lot of folks out there who are having this kind of trouble. At least I can play story mode
when it doesn't kick me out. Because yeah, it also happens with the campaign (not so often, but it happens).
Wizard spam is the worst on that strike with the Angry modifier.
It can be for any of 3 classes and when you highlight engram it shows that quality can be from blue to exotic.
I know it seems weird, but you actually want them NOT to be account bound
There's a tiny random chance from lots of things like strike or crucible rewards, or a public event gold tier complete (not just the daily mail reward). They can also drop from world chests. You can finally get them from dismantling legendaries, which is going to be more important than people think.

It's a lot harder to win Rumble, since only 1 person wins vs. a whole winning team so I'm not sure it's worthwhile from a marks/hr perspective even if the matches are shorter.
Skirmish may be better for marks. I still like control a lot though.

Has anyone here finished a raid yet?
I want to know how soul-crushing it is.

I've not read alot of this thread. I've read a few reviews of the game and I am a bit baffled. I'm only up to level 7 even though I've had the title since launch. I don't disagree with the words contained within most of the reviews but I find some of the low scores perplexing. The game is disappointing in that it didn't live up to the hype but I feel like I'm playing a solid 8. Is that the consensus of gamers? I feel like the reviewers are overly docking points because this was such a big budget disappointment.

I will probably level up a little more tonight and then give it a go.

Like everybody else, I've been farming The Dark Beyond, on level 20 difficulty. I have been getting some random disconnects, so I get booted back to orbit. When I go to return to The Dark Beyond, it gives me a "resume" option but this just puts me back at the start, and I have to fight my way back. Not hard, just tedious. Anyone run into this?
Also while we're here, I'm level 22 - is level 20 the best difficulty to be doing this on?

yeah, i fear so much that the exotic engram im gonna get will be for another class, then everyone in the tower will point and laugh at me......
and then he'll be there, smiling......

I beat that first raid boss. We wasted like 2 hours on that asshole cause we didn't know how to use the relic properly :/ boy did we learn the hard way.
I farm it on easy and I get drops sometimes.
So you mean it ended with me throwing up a Ward of Dawn and us all dancing inside?
Oh my god those wizards tho.
Wish I had a weapon that did Solar.
Also question, does the reward for the weekly reset everyday? Or now that I earned 3 coins I gotta wait another week to get more? They're too random and rare of a loot for me to get enough for Xur on the weekend.
I play the game a shitton and I have no idea how any of you guys got enough coins to buy shit from him last time.

Hmmm I specifically checked my progress several times when I died and I did not see it revert. If this is true I must have been incredibly lucky as my KDR is laughable. Not sure how I could have achieved it if that were the case. If so, I do apologize for giving incorrect info.
Strat works. Bring some heavy ammo synthesis and Phogoth'll even go down pretty damn quick.
My team is almost at the final boss. It's definitely super hard man. Make sure you have 5 other people that can communicate well.

So, are there checkpoints?

The hype just blew up to such an extent there was no way it could live up to it. Plus I think bungie's scope exceeds thier ability. (Not saying they are bad developers but the game is certainly lacking in some areas).

Sorry, but is the Dark Beyond the moon farming mission that everyone, including me, is doing? I can never remember the actual mission names.
I was doing it at level 9 last night as a level 20 and I got some blues but no legendaries.
Looks amazing, I'm 200 from rank 2, I'll do some bounty missions and buy myself a chest piece.
I would be missing only a helmet to have my legendary armor complete.
Yep there is. Thank god for that.
Dude, it's been raining Strange Coins for me this week. I have 17. I gained like 10-12 between Sunday and today. Some legendary engrams would be 2 or 3 strange coins, which is a good loot all considering. Then I'd get them from blue engram armor pieces. I got some as loot from finishing strikes and then I got rewarded one from pvp. I also got those three from the weekly.
You can do it on a higher difficulty to get more, but not the same difficulty again.
When it first pops up you will notice the coin rewards are 3, 6, and 9. ehen you beat the easy version you will see that it goes down to 0,3, and 6. If you beat it on the second difficulty, it would go down to 0, 0, and 3.

So can you technically farm public events for them? I dismantled a legendary hunter helm I got since I'm a Titan and got 2 shards from it.

Thanks! Right now I exclusively use a hand Cannon in PVE, I got it thanks to crucible. My secondary is a Fusion Rifle.
Lucky for me those are both my favorite primary and secondary types!
