Are we POSITIVE this doesn't work...? If you just have someone else join your fireteam they won't be ported in?
I got a beacon mission from him yesterday! I was like, hey that's, it's that's Malcolm Reylnolds on the thing!Cømet;130640759 said:I like talking to Cayde just to hear Fillion's lines

Chance for that is worth it alone
So the little cut scene at the tower with you in the hangar is the end of the main storyline? That's the worst shit ever.
Ok cool that's what I figured. Thanks!
Whaaaaaaa?
I need to run this ASAP. Isn't it level 26 or something? Probably impossible at level 21...

Why isn't reputation shared? It makes me less eager to create a new character...

Buy encrypted engrams from the cryptarch and level him up.
Shit I need to be doing these once a week. My first attempt will be this weekend, possibly tomorrow night.

28 I'm coming for you.
No your not
What are the stafs (str, int, etc) for the mask of the third man?
It will continue to matchmake for you. Last night I joined a strike through the Lion hopper and I joined into a group that had the Archon Priest down to 1/4 health. I was pretty happy to only have to throw in that final straw

So people are "bumming" the earth exploit cave by sitting idly while others farm and then periodically running to the cave to get engrams. I've also seen lower levels do it for experience.
I find it humorous that an exploit is now being exploited to an even higher level.

I've had people jump into a strike I was in the middle of when someone dropped out.

Thanks, I'll look out for more of those.
I get nervous now at the start of every strike because of this. I'm finally doing the level 24 ones and they're not hard but they really really suck with just two people. I've ended up completely alone a couple of times but luckily people usually show up before the final bosses.
Also, I am fucking sick of Dust Palace.
Oh yea. I forgot to mention the Radiant Energy.
For completing it you get "Radiant Energy" which gives you cool flames around your head, bonus faction reputation for everything you complete, bonus experience, and bonus glimmer until the weekly reset. The earlier in the week you complete the Nightfall, the better.
Nightfall is the level 28 strike. There are several modifiers and if you get team wiped you return to orbit. There are no checkpoints.

How vigorously do players scream on a scale of 1 to I can't even on the Weekly Nightfall strike?
I want to know if I should even attempt it

This game is really built to stretch out the progression as long as possible. No benefit from fighting tougher enemies (in terms of XP and loot), caps on progression, no shared rep. In the words of Bilbo its like the game's butter that has been scraped over too much bread.
Seems tuned to both discourage returning the game in the first few weeks, and to provide enough breadcrumbs to keep you somewhat engaged until the DLC hits.
I'm actually kindof surprised there aren't daily login bonuses.
I think that's a silly way to look at it. I mean, maxing your marks is the way to get where you're going the fastest, sure. But even if you only did the Daily Story, Weekly Heroic, and a public event here and there over the course of the week- so maybe 20 minutes a night and an hour one night a week- you'd build up enough marks, coins, and motes of light over time to get the gear you want. You never lose Rep or Marks, so you can only advance.
Except at level 28, and has the nightfall modifier, among others, which throws you into space if everyone on your team dies.

I did this last night. A GAF member on my friends lists was in a strike mission, then I couple minutes later I randomly checked again, it showed only two people in fireteam, and I clicked on join. Probably because he had it set to public

Level 26, nearly 27, all Legendary armour and an Exotic AR backing me up. Tempted to try the Nightfall Strike.
Damn, I need to do it tonight. Is it okay for level 25?

No, it's an even harder strike (still lasts one week like the weekly heroic) that starts at level 26 and has a lot of crazy difficulty modifiers turned on.

I get lots of blues, just that the primary weapons I decode are always either low level, or are shit I don't use like Hand Cannons.

Third piece of legendary armor, third time it was for a class other than the one I'm playing. Fuck off.

You have to hit use now. There's no advantage in waiting as far as i can tell. If you haven't hit use now on the collector's cards and you've been getting kills then you're probably losing out on some grimoire score.
Well, if reputation was shared you wouldn't be able to earn a second path of rank rewards. So it isn't all bad.
We did it the first week with an entire group of 25s so it can be done I'd say. The moon strike is harder than the Earth one though. Just be prepared to spend a while on it. We had two 26s and a 27 this week and it still took us like an hour and a half to 2 hours.

Think of it as an opportunity to branch out
Also, that will make getting the right class armor all the better

That's not what I mean. Tho I'm pretty happy with my stats. ;p
27-28 with a crap load of void weapons is really the best time to enter the raid.

Same here. Literally need 1 more light for 26 (which for me means 3 more ascendant shards). Hoping 26 is doable for night falls, I'll probably try to form a group here for it this weekend either way. Doesn't hurt to try.

How many times a week can I play the Nightfall strike and get rewards? Is it limited to once a week like each of the Weekly Heroic difficulties?
Edit : My friends and I tried the Nightfall at level 25 and 26 and got melted. I wouldn't recommend going in at anything lower than 27 unless you've got really solid elemental weapons and a good team.

Just solo the low level Sepiks Prime one, it'll be a breeze.
Before this bounty I had 0 pvp games played and ended up having a blast. Used void sniper+heavy machine gun. Only played control and just used my teammates as shields. I got it extremely fast, especially when heavy ammo came up.
I only hold that opinion that I stated because since I bought the game on Sunday, that's what I've been doing every night since: 7+ hour sessions with a friend of mine. The pacing of weapon and item acquisition has been pretty damn good for me and there really hasn't been a lull in terms of needing something. I'm always striving to increase something whether it be class skills, armor or weapon upgrades or rep/marks. By the end of the session Im always pleased with my progress. Like, last night not only did I hit level 23 within my first couple hours playing (random armor drops on Easy mode in some random chapter on the Moon), but I also found a brand new hand cannon (my weapon of choice) and took my weekly Van marks to 60 something.
And the only time I've truly farmed is for that 20 double fusion rifle kills (end of the first chapter on Moon).
