It's all blues, he never owned purples.

This shit is amazing. 2d 12h 36m of playtime and not a single legendary helmet.

Gotta grind out 50 crucible marks to just buy the damn thing and get it over with.

 

[Afrocious]

What's the best way to get strange coins besides the first public event you complete per day?

Farming if you like causing yourself agony.

 

[hydruxo]

Just started the game.
The postmaster has bounty lead for me but I don't have enough space

Huh?!

Go finish a bounty you already have, or go to your inventory and discard one.

you and me both brother. I want that legendary helmet but I don't wanna have to make 120 vanguard marks :'(
and my crucible rep is too low

 

[doomquake]

So just cosmetic stuff?

Who knows. Supposedly the speaker is actually really evil and the traveler is a liar. Maybe he will sell. dark gear one day

 

[Homeboyd]

RNGesus laughs at your feeble threats! You have no power here non-believer!

Better tweet that fool. I'm stopping by for a visit.

 

[Hawkian]

What's the best way to get strange coins besides the first public event you complete per day?

The weekly heroic strike for the week is the only guaranteed way.

I got a few as PvP rewards myself too.

To be honest I'm not 100% sure, but I noticed that after I did the first one, it no longer said +3 Strange Coins under the loot column, but it still had strange coins for the harder ones. Was going to test this week unless someone already has an answer.

I believe the case is: you can earn a maximum of 9 Strange Coins from Weekly Strikes for the week. If you do the hardest version you can get all 9.

I see... Thanks!

yup, one for each class, one weapon, one engram.

here's Datto's video about Xúr:

Praying to RNGesus Xur offers up Heart of the Praxic Fire for Warlocks this week.

 

[Darryl M R]

What's the best way to gain strange coins? I am playing Destiny with some irregularity so I can't always gather a firesquad. Is there a way to do strikes that drop strange coins that will match me with other players?

I'm hoping Xur has Hard Light this week (I need 20 more strange coins), I want Mask of the Third Man but I guess he won't have the same items week after week.

Can anyone help me with this?

 

[doomquake]

This. There has to be items for doing a raid. Ideally themed ones that can only be gained in that raid.

That's a great idea. Maybe some hive swards

 

[VE3TRO]

Do we know that the Exotic engram from Xur will be Exotic and not turn into a Rare or something?

 

[Vidpixel]

If I didn't already know Bungie made this multiplayer component and someone told me the makers of Halo created the Crucible, I don't know if I would believe them. I mean, it's perfectly competent, but coming off of Halo, the balance and staying power just aren't there for me. It's still fun though, don't get me wrong, but some of these maps aren't doing anything for me...

 

[Anoregon]

Turned in two bounties and got a rare ship and a mote of light. How common is that? Rewards on top of bounties?

Mote of light could have just been from the bounty xp giving you a "level", which is motes of light post 20. Never seen a ship (or any other) reward though.

It's guaranteed to be exotic according to folks here and the item description.

Now as to whether it's something that YOU need or from your class, well that's another thing entirely lol

 

[davidbloop]

Ok so last night me and a mate were playing PVP.

We both stopped at the same time and went to sleep. When we woke up the next day his crucible marks had reset to zero for the week, yet mine hadnt. My vanguard marks have reset to zero though so, i dunno what's happening.

Quoting for new page.... anyone have any idea what's happening?

 

[nicoga3000]

Wow, 2 more baboon errors followed by 2 grape errors. Guess I'm not playing right now.

I got a ship after a crucicble match with a level 3 haha. Its uncommon though.

Anyone up for the Weekly strike? Add Horry43 on PSN.

 

[everyday math]

So got an exotic bounty and it disappeared awhile ago.

I'm hoping Xur has Hard Light this week (I need 20 more strange coins), I want Mask of the Third Man but I guess he won't have the same items week after week.

The strike playlist on the upper two levels offers +3 and +6 strange coins per strike.

Are there any legendary or exotic upgrade that requires destroying blue rares? I have been saving all my blues but should I just break them down?

I'm doing an exotic bounty that requires me breaking down 10 rare or better fusion rifles. So, I'm in the weird position of preferring rare drops to legendary ones.

It's so weird that I already have an exotic weapon and now 2 separate bounties for exotic weapons in progress and I've yet to receive a single legendary item for my Titan lol. Luckily I'm not nearly as frustrated as some of you guys are and I just don't see the point in farming for stuff. I could buy armor or a legendary weapon but I'm going to wait and see what Xur offers this weekend.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

You know, I didn't realize it until now, but for me, Destiny has totally nailed the "carrot on a stick" thing. I am sitting here at work planning out what I'm gonna do when I get home. Seemingly each activity that you do in the game has a reward at some point or at the end. As much as the game is rightfully critized, they did get a lot right IMO. It can only go up from here, too.

That's what I also don't understand. Not only that but they got the KING of MMO's Blizzard there, why don't they go and ask for their help on everything about looting, raids.etc

 

[Hawkian]

Your marks should never reset, just the cap- I'm assuming that's what you mean.

Dumb question but have you both logged in and out of Destiny since noticing this?

 

[AmateurHour212]

Farming if you like causing yourself agony.

Where do you tame the strange (coins)? (South Park reference... any takers?)

 

[someday]

So got an exotic bounty and it disappeared awhile ago.

Oh shit, is there a time limit for these? I still have to do 17 more strikes for one and need 10 rare fusion rifles for the second.

Just don't farm. Its pathetic crack addict behavior. First time I saw it today and toked a bit too. Felt dirty and sorry for everyone involved.

It will all ways be a exotic but it could by a diffirent class.

Not a dumb question but I hadn't tried that haha. And ye I meant my cap, my marks are still there, just my vanguard cap reset and my crucible cap didn't.

Just logged back in, looks the same. I'm wondering if it's some type of weird timing issue with the network, like my mark amount didn't get synced to the server in time for the reset or something where his did..

Guys, the guide to endgame leveling (and some other stuff) that I typed up is too long for a neogaf post. Can anyone suggest somewhere I could put it that would be meaningful and accessible to those who might want to read it?

 

[yatesl]

Props to EU 5 GAF. Teamed up with someone and we did the level 28 story (those thralls hit hard), and then got a third to do a level 22 strike to get the clan trophy.

Good fun!

Condense it down, or make a part 1 and part 2 post. Then you can just link back to them. I can nuke the posts in between to make them consecutive.

I'm up for it if you're ok with a lowly lvl 20 hunter. I'll be ready to rock in about 2 hours. I'll add you even if you want to play with higher levels today (I won't take any offense) as I'll be leveling up over the next bunch of days now that I have some real time to play.

You only share EXP with others when they're in your fireteam right?

 

[Death Metalist]

I imagine if it isn't in your inventory then they will refresh as the bounty dude refreshes the stock every 13 or so hours.

Alright, I might split it up into 3 mini-guides or so.

I worked a bit on formatting and such and there are lots of embedded images so pastebin and reddit are not ideal

Dentist appointment now, watch for it when I get home.

 

[Respect]

I keep hearing the shotgun sound in my mind today...and I'm always on the wrong end of those...I think I have a problem.

 

[MidEvlDed]

at the point you have to do the raid you should already be decked out in largely legendary though, so I fail to see the point unless they have some armor/gear you can ONLY get from the raid that is better than anything that can drop/be bought.

At this point I'm only playing it for the clan achievement and to have fun with friends.

When I watched the video where they talked about the raid, they said the raid would have one complete armor set for your class. Is this not true?

 

[Cudder]

On that note.

I'm Ghaleon_EB on PSN (note the tragic underscore). Feel free to hit me up folks, if you are so inclined, I have like, ten friends. :lol

I'm still doing the campaign solo but will dabble in strikes, and will do co-op stuff on the Earth and the Moon since I've completed them.

Lowly level 11, though.

To be clear... that is a real question I'm asking (I'm at work) and not a "holy sh*t I just confirmed this, this is ridiculous" question.

It is a "holy sh*t I just confirmed this, this is ridiculous" question though if someone confirms.
