Bank it for an alt since all your characters share the same vault? Otherwise the mats are pretty valuable for upgrades when you do get a legendary for your class.

Me! I only have 15 strange coins, thoughNo fucking idea how some of you have so many. They're so random, ugh.
Me!
They say the house always wins, but what else can you spend your motes on besides clothes from the Speaker?

Did you attempt the Weekly Nightfall Strike? I id it with two others last night and had to give up on Phogoth. Two 27s and a 26 and it was brutally tough. We just couldn't handle the adds in the big room at the end and got tired of wiping.

Wait, what the fuck, the weekly heroic strikes don't have match making?
I'd rather dump them off the side of the tower. Better chance at landing on something worthwhile.
I tried it earlier with two 27s and a 26 and had the same result, lol. Summoning pits is the worst.
Guys, you cannot buy Vanguard gear for the two classes you aren't playing as. Go look at the class vendors and compare their inventory. Your own class vendor will have three sections in his/her store, Titan/Warlock/Hunter Armour, which if you're level 20+ will have green and blue armour ranging from level 14-18, Vanguard Armour and Emblems. Now take a look at the other class vendors, no Vanguard Armour section to be seen.
Unless the RNG gods go against you and give you armour pieces not for your class, you cannot buy top tier armour for other classes. You can share legendary weapons among classes though.

holy cow, hit level 24 and tried the weekly strike with 2 other 24s and got our asses handed to us by phogoth.
They just throw ADS at you all the time, theres no downtime. Any tips? We tried two focusing on phogoth/surviving while one other eliminated the ADS, but like I said, it just gets too crazy, especially when they toss multiple wizards at you

You have a challenger!
I actually try to do all of the bounties available for the day. It's rather odd - seems like my vanguard rank always just creeps along. Maybe I'm rank 2 already and haven't even realized.
Ditto.
I got this and a Suros Regime one after the other in PvP. Luckiest two games I'll ever have. I didn't realize the multi tool could find chests and whatnot... Time to hunt.

So yellows are exotics right? I saw someone get a yellow sniper rifle in a random Crucible match yesterday.
Are high rate of fire, low impact assault rifles any good? Havent got one yet.
My friends had this gun for 4 days. I just told him about this and he had no idea.... It blew his mind.
A guaranteed exotic engram from Xur on Friday/Saturday.
Really? I definitely have NOT done every one every day, and I'm halfway to 3. I've done a fair few strikes and patrols though.
You're deeeefinitely not wearing a Faction item right?

I hope this isn't a raid only weapon. Because this is GLORIOUS.

Wait, is there a difference between the weekly heroic strike and the nightfall strike I see people mentioning?
On the left side of my destination computer, there's a crucible playlist, a daily story and a heroic weekly strike. Where's this nightfall thing?

When adds spawn always take them down as a group, boss doesn't require any attention in a sense that he would come and kill you. Just stay in cover from his head beam and nuke adds down.
Fire based weapons are ace here because it takes wizard shields down so fast.
Boss itself is easy even if bulletspongy. Stick to cover and shoot to his weakspot [stomach].
Some say you can glitch add spawns out by not fully clearing initial adds from the room, e.g. just clear left side when entering chamber and leave right side be. Could be worth trying.
Nightfall is strike that has 5 different difficulty modifiers to it making it extremely hard to do. If you manage to creep / cheese your way through it you will be rewarded with awesome loots and XP booster that lasts until next reset [Tuesday].
Welcome to my life.
Auto Rifle, with mostly head shots, and still barely a dent.
Huge difference. You're not high enough to see the nightfall strike yet. It's got a number of modifiers every week, but one thing never changes- if all three of you die, you get punted to orbit.
It has some of the best reward chances in the game too.
well there's your problem right there. arc blade is my only respite from the onslaught of auto rifle carnage I face every game :3

Is it taking ages to matchmake in the Crucible for anyone else recently?
Last night it started to struggle, yeah. Annoying.

You gain access to it at level 24,but it's intended for level 28. It's much much harder, has 5 skulls enabled, instead of just the 2 in the weekly, and if your team wipes you get sent back to orbit. Beat it though and you get a exp/reputation booster for the remainder of the week.

That was my point from my previous post; who was going to gamble on an exotic from Xur. It's guaranteed to be an exotic, but could be for any class. Odds are not in the purchaser's favor.
Let us know what you get!
Save those for a sunsinger.
Being able to revive yourself is a clutch move in Nightfall and all sorts of other tough spots.
It is also an excellent way to troll the enemy team. run into a point they are capping with 3-4 people, die in a corner. they all start reloading looking at doors. You go all pheonix fire godd on them with unlimited grenades and one hit melee attacks.
It is priceless.

Don't go all the way into Phogoth's chamber. Stay in the room that leads to it and deal damage to him through the doorway as you can. You'll have to deal with a shrieker that spawns in the room periodically. You can either kill him or just back up into the previous hallway to despawn him. Backing up will also despawn some of the adds that hang out in the doorway to Phogoth's chamber.
It'll take a little while, and you'll probably want to bring some spare ammo packs as you won't get many drops while hanging out in that room, but it works.
I love the sound of that. Once I get to level 27/28, that is.

Oh I see, sorry I misunderstood.
Could always dismantle it for parts if you don't want to save for another class. :>
Updated progress after landing a void shotty with full auto mod. My KD went from 0.30 to 0.59 but i'll get there eventually lol

They need to hand out more rewards at the end mission screen for story missions.
Is it guaranteed exotic? When I moused over it during last weekend it showed that engram can give you item from Rare to Exotic or even just upgrade materials. So if what it states is true then it's insane gamble.
Spend 24 Motes of Light and get blue item, that would be so awesome
Nope not wearing any faction items. I haven't done every single bounty, but about 80%. I will look at my actual rank today. I may have missed leveling up to 2.

I was told by a designer that it's always exotic.

The void kill thing for the Thorn bounty isn't all that bad. I'm using a void shotgun + machine gun with my Hunter getting maybe 20-50 points per game. I should be done in another 10 or so games at most.
I knocked out that weekly heroic last night and man, that shit lasted like two hours. Maybe more. The boss was a bitch until we all figured out the exploit a little beyond the entryway which makes the enemies disappear so you can focus on that big ol boss whos chained up.
When we finally got our rewards we thought we'd be able to knock it out again in half the time for another 150 Vanguard rep.
.....We were wrong. We knocked it out more quickly, sure. No rewards though =/
Lesson learned.

Because the cry babies that were too lazy to evade one in the Alpha/Beta complained
They are still extremely powerful, just have to make sure you are patient with the aim. If I get in one I won't die for the rest of the round, unless I get supered from my blind spot.

Do you know what the possible rewards are for an exotic dismantle? I've dismantled several legendaries and received Sapphire Wraps and Ascendant Shards.
Truth. I don't even know why the reward rollers are there.
Bungie trolling us.
I'd assume just larger quantities of those mats, but I'm not going to be doing research on that particular area o_o
