What's the best way to farm strange coins? Public events?
fuck farming, once I buckled down and started focusing on bounties and picking up opportunistic materials I got my first two legendaries... bought them from FWC. immediately busted through the level 24 plateau and sitting midway through 25. on top of that I have plenty of materials waiting to be used to upgrade my new armor once I level them

Fainlly reached Vanguard rank 3. Time to get a legendary cloak from dead orbit to get rid of the last blue item.
What shader are you using?

Nice montage. I still have no idea what that super does.
Awesome & good for you for doing it the "right way". Farming is lame lol.fuck farming, once I buckled down and started focusing on bounties and picking up opportunistic materials I got my first two legendaries... bought them from FWC. immediately busted through the level 24 plateau and sitting midway through 25. on top of that I have plenty of materials waiting to be used to upgrade my new armor once I level them

Favorite Strike Boss : probably the moon dude, i love jumping from platform to platform blasting it in the face with my rockets and shotgun fire
Least Favorite : Septic Prime. Probably only because ive killed it now about 300x lol
Favorite Enemy Faction : Easily Cabal. I run through mars fighting Cabal for hours just because. Any bounty involving mars = InstaGet()
Their shields are red, so solar damage takes their shield down quicker.

So if you keep it, should you die you can hit L1R1 and rezz.
If not you can just use it and receive dmg protection and all abilities enhanced, it also lets you pretty much spam your grenade. It's awesome.

Teddy bears are best enemy faction.

Dust Palace, It can be hard with a bad team or over in a minute or 2 with a good one.
Archon Priest, I like the boss but I hate the adds
Easily the Cabal, best looks, most fun to fight and the only soundtrack for an enemy type that stuck in my head.
Text message.
While on my way to work. Had to get off the bus and wait for an half hour for another one.
Fire based damage takes down their shields fast. To be honest I think that it should just nullify the shields as if they did not have them at all. I've wasted too much time on these types of enemies.
Depends on the color of their shield... but I believe in this case, solar (orange).
I think Fire takes away their shield pretty fast.
It's an empty response to someone like you whose livelihood has been cut off, but you really don't want to be working for a coward like that.

Please don't die
(uncommon, and rare from 12 legendary engrams, stings bad man.)
I was lucky to get grouped with a very international group from GAF, and we just happened to be able to listen to each others advice, and take orders when needed.
We are still working on the raid, but so far we have made pretty good progress.
I had added a shi-ton of Gafers to my PSN friends list at the end of the beta, so I had plenty of opportunities for forming raids.
Just randomly happened that I was on when a spaniard, couple aussies, and some 'mericans were all on and wanted a raid party.
Lol, thanks bud, it was worth the heart ache from all those purples turning green on me.
This gun is so sick, it fully reloads in about 10 seconds after emptying its "clip". It doesnt reload in the way other weapons do, as it doesn't have a magazine, and just needs time to recharge.
Sweet baby RNGesus, I can't wait to level it up to turn people into walking explosives.
Well done, GutZ!
Since you probably snagged every dead ghost in the game...If you have the time, could you check your grimoire cards and see if any affect loot drops? I'm starting to wonder if luck is all you need.
Agreed... completely lame. I'm having more fun too. I bounce between vanguard bounties and crucible depending on my mood and if it starts feeling grindy.
No, the different faction gear offers different attributes. FWC tends to bump discipline and intellect. Dead Orbit focuses on other attributes and same with Monarchy. Depending on your class you may prefer one faction's gear over another. Take a look at their gear and then focus on one by buying their armband/cloak/whatever. You'll stop leveling up Vanguard and when you do bounties, turn in materials for rep, etc, it goes to your faction instead.
Or a powerful Solar Sniper Rifle. Pop goes the weasel.

I'm halfway to Rank 2 of Future War Cult. The grind for reputation is so painful.

So those big shiny oranges are grenades? Damn. I don't like void walker at all which is why I'm most reluctant to play a Wizard. Coming back from the dead to rain vitamin C on my foes sounds very appealing though.
It's pointless if you're trying to do anything but level up the Cryptarch for the bonus drop. 99 times out 100, he isn't going to give you shit. All of the farming success stories are just pure luck.
I wish I understood this when I first hit 20 and just started grinding away at bounties right away. At least I know for my next character.

Yup! that's my solar nade.
And that.
Sure, Wizards are easy enough to deal with even at high difficulties, just have to be smart and pick the right equipment + keep your distance.

How can I view my crucible rep without going to the crucible vendor?

Thanks! Ive been playing everyday since its come out. Lvl 24 and have only got one piece of legendary gear and its a machine gun :/
While I get the issues people have with the drops, I gotta say I agree with you. I hit Vanguard 3 last night and did a bunch of turn ins for marks. I have 2 legendary pieces of armor and got one of the legendary scout rifles from hitting rank 3 (sliver away from hitting 26). I've done public quests, strikes and all kinds of patrols on whichever planet I feel like. My gear is better than most of the people I've seen shooting at a cave for hours on end and I feel like I've probably had way more fun getting there.
I've also found a half dozen legendary engrams out in my travels (and a fair amount of blues ones) and none of the decrypts have been insane, but some have been upgrades and one or two have been actual legendary items. I feel like the random drops/cryptarch stuff should be icing on the cake for your adventures, not the entire dessert.
To each there own, if people want to shoot at a cave all day that's fine, but there are way more varied and entertaining (imo) ways to gear up.

Probably A Voice in the Wilderness although you'll have to wait until Friday when Xur shows up.

What a piece of shit (had to spell it out for emphasis), couldn't tell you face to face. Sorry to hear, but I wish you luck in the future.
Play some Destiny, have a drink if you do partake and think about how many opportunities will come in the future.
I like fight Phogoth. one of the only strikes that really keeps you on your toes, and has a big variety of adds that require different tactics to take down. (The archon priest as well, but for some reason I just seem to have more fun on Phogoth. I think it is because it feels like I am fighting something out of lord of the rings)
I don't really have one that I dread, but the one against the VEX would probably be my least favorite as I can not for the life of me remember what it is. I don't seem to get to play it very often for whatever reason so that may be it.
The Vex always keep me guessing with their blinking around which makes them tough and fun. The cbal are fun too because they are all so slow I can really jump in and turn things into a fist fight with my worlock so it is a fun change of pace.

Speaking of shotguns I found a legendary called The Comedian which has an effect that tightens the spread of each blast if I aim so effectively I can one shot people from twice the distance.
aha a hahaha hahahaha
aha a hahaha hahahaha
That's the weapons description
makes me want to just afc on pvp. It's ridiculous. I land 3 handcannon shots die to 1 shotgun shot.
Just this morning i was mindlessly farming and wasnt really having that much fun, got a few things though but I think i am going to go this route and see what i come up with.

I'm on ps4, but thanks. Just picked C nonetheless. Whatever, I'll find someone in my friends list who will help me.
I have two of them, two different elements.
Yikes. The review thread is brutal. Posted the following joke post and it went over everyone's head; "Destiny is an awesome game. People just are not willing to have a rational conversation about what Bungie was trying to do. I think Destiny is the way the future's gonna go. It's just too soon. People just aren't ready to make the leap to an always online MMO/shooter right away."
I thought it was a pretty obvious joke. Oh well, lesson learned. I read two pages and felt the forces of Darkness leeching my Light! I miss the withdrawal thread...
I'm not saying Destiny does not have faults btw, I love it as is and am satisfied. I also know it will only continue to grow and evolve into something even better but I do understand some of the gripes. But damn there are a vocal minority fostering negativity and hatred for the game. It seems to be the number one goal for a vocal minority, I honestly am not quite sure why either and I would genuinely like to know. Not thread whining here, I just am really curious as to why.

Ehh.... They could do a bit more than that.
Just save the trip back to the tower and disassemble it now.
Shattered memory fragment is a pain in the ass because you have to break down ten rare fusion rifles to get it. If you want it eventually start saving them now in the vault. I am still holding out hope that the gunsmith will stock some so I can just buy the damn things.
