Yeah I've spent a few hours doing this. Yielded countless blues, a few purples, but none turned to Legendary.
It'll be patched. I have no doubt in my mind. EVery time I go to that farming spot, 1 or 2 or 3 randoms are already there or show up eventually.
but it was reviewed badly
I won't commit to saying "I bet" or anything so confident as that just yet, but I will say that after thinking WAY MORE about this game's systems and design philosophy than any one human should, I would not be surprised if, eventually, some reviewers are compelled to revise their scores somewhere down the line.

Yeah, no way did it deserve that 8.75 from GameInformer.

One more person for weekly heroic?
Helpful tidbit to get an extra material a day, make an alt and get them to 4 (mainly just for some bounties) but always do a public event a day. Usually you'll get either an ascendant energy/shard once you go to the tower to get your gold package reward. There's schedules floating around on where to go for specific events to make it super easy.

It should. When I dismantled a legendary ghost skin it took at least twice as long as when dismantling armor or gear. They should consider adding that. The downside would be it will take forever to dismantle gear then.
dude please.
When you're playing destiny and suddenly hit the level 24 plateau and you're told that you don't have high enough leveled gear to do the raid it sucks.
this isn't whiny bitching, it's about being able to play parts of the game you need higher level gear for and not being able to get it because of wonky game mechanics. see my other posts. a lot of people hit 24 and get stuck because what had worked for them the previous 24 levels suddenly stops working. I had to specifically change how I played the game and I had to do a lot of reading and figuring shit out to be able to get better gear.
it's not clear at all in the game on how to do this. look at the tons and tons of questions on these boards. a lot of people are confused and frustrated.
i'm enjoying the game overall but it's not perfect and some things could have clearly been done better or at least explained better.
I'm still waiting too.

Gah! They weren't able to fix that glitch?
Great tip. I'm definitely making 2 more for this.
Sounds like you didn't put any glimmer in the collection plate.

Shrine of Oryx
The moon is so full of farming missions. That Shrine mission is actually another one. When you get to the point where you kill those fallen inside the shrine area fighting with the Hive. There is atleast 10 majors in that room and then you fight the Ogre at the end.
Just kill off those dudes for tons of glimmer and get the Codex's. Got 4 rare engrems within 20 minutes at that spot too, could of just been luck. But def. a good glimmer spot as everyone is closely packed. I just let the Ogre kill me.

This. I am having a ton of fun but without places and people like here on GAF, I would be so lost. That in itself is a major flaw imo.
I think the root of the frustration is the randomness. Some people seem to be getting extremely lucky (multiple legendaries, exotics) while some people haven't even found a single legendary item.

Anyone down for the weekly heroic? Just need one more player.

oooh
Hit level 24 last night. What is the actual amount of XP you need to get for each mote of light?
I am so glad this game does a good job keep track of your progress on the server side. In the instances where I have had WiFi crap out, none of my bounty progress has been lost, and when you resume it always pretty close to where you were.

I think the engram team had it perfectly balanced to keep you progressing with just the right amount of carrot, and if you wanted a full set of matching gear leaning toward your ultimate build, you would go to a vendor. But, the incentive/long tail team said "hey, what if we make legacy loot drop a different class to encourage a second build!" Now that balance is broken by getting what progression demands 2/3rds less often.
I think you have more of a chance of getting an Exotic along the progression line than you do a Legendary. Just that some have been stuck at the Legendary border for so long Exotics are showing up early.

I've seen people suggest there is some matchmaking for the co-op stuff. Is this true?

i didn't even know they still existed. that is a high score.
I understand the frustration, but I keep thinking about all the times I went to ask about something perplexing in the Demon's Souls thread on my first playthrough. I got confused and frustrated sometimes, for sure. But I also got answers. And help. And learned stuff I didn't even realize I wanted to know. And eventually even made friends with people, because there was so much to talk about.
I get that things are cryptic, different than expected, even arcane for a lot of people, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad. Nor is it bad to turn to a community for assistance. Feel free to add Hawkian on PSN, for that matter.
In time it will all be common knowledge. In time, it will be considered silly for newbies to think certain things that are being taken for granted right now. but some of us actually enjoy these early days of figuring stuff out on our own- bizarre and frustrating as it might seem to you.

Wow this thread is still moving fast!
I try the story missions everyday for the vanguard marks but yesterday's for example made me rage quit after getting killed by the minotaurs at the end and having to start that whole section over 3 times. Earning marks and rep are incredibly slow for me. I do all the vanguard bounties I can though which I still enjoy.
I mostly solo and up to 20 had a blast. I can't really coop because duties at home regularly pull me away and it isn't that easy to drop in and out on a whim.
Now that I am 20 I feel like I have hit a roadblock that can only be overcome by hours of farming or doing strikes that I struggle to find the time to commit to.
Hopefully getting back to patrols and the campaign will help me enjoy it again and maybe I will get lucky and get decent drops.

Oh, believe me. I know. I've learned so much from people in here. I added you as soon as I saw you post in this thread. I remember you from the GW2 thread. You are a very helpful and informative person. I actually was a lurker when the game came out, followed the OT at launch, it was the first MMO I ever played and I had loads of fun.

Who has the highest Grimoire score here?
Do the daily heroics on a lower level so that you can still get the marks.
Wow, thank you sincerely. I have to admit, this thing has its hooks in me more than any game since gw2.

That raid is some of the finest video game design I've ever encountered.

I just found such a cheap trick for boosting your completed strikes. Only problem is, it would encourage some really bad behavior from others running strikes and looking to open up the gear they can receive so I'm not sure I should even post it.
I feel your pain. Wife and kid at home means i can't carve out dedicated time to run through heroic weeklies and such.
Also stuck at 20 and I also got my ass kicked by those Minotaurs yesterday 3 times before giving up lol. However, I'm close to having vanguard rank 2 to just buy my legendaries.
That's my recommendation. Bounties, public events and daily heroic missions/strike playlist. I don't have time to waste farming for this crap.

This. If there isn't any reward for doing anything at my level or close to it, I do the lowest difficulty I can. I have no shame in this. I've seen how difficult this game can be, so I respect it.
Incredibly jealous, my most wanted exotic.

People are really too upset about the legendary loot not falling from the sky. I get the engram problem, but really, you know you can get high faction rank super quick by just doing bounties? I'm level 23, 40+ hours, and have not gotten a single legendary engram, and that's absolutely fine. How it should be, even. Calm down, gearing for a raid shouldn't really take a week from release.

Exactly. It's anti-American! If I'm a poor-ass Warlock, I should be able to win the lottery to make it big. I don't want to have to work for it! How else am I going to move out of my double-wide jumpship?
