Strikes
If you do quests, strikes, etc, you will naturally get better gear without too much thought put into it. And then of course, you can infuse your stuff to make it better.
Guess I know what I'm doing tonight then.

Strikes is the way to go for increasing your light to 235 at least

278...doing Heroic Strikes...got a 289 Hand Cannon from Shax for doing his crucible quest. I have another part to complete now. I am guessing they are part of the PVP quests that give NF rewards?

I bought Destiny at launch (the one with the DLC) and really didn't get into it. I think my character tops out at like, level 8. I tried a few months ago and it just felt like a very empty experience. I was ready to write it off but I may be willing to give it another chance. If I wanted to get into TTK, how easy is it to meet up with people/do missions/enjoy myself? I'm on Xbox One. I just feel like getting in now there is this whole language and culture I don't understand and everyone has moved on.
that's fucking sweet

Is there a GAF-clan by the way? Or a clan with space left? I'd love to join one, especially EU-based ( as I live in Finland ).
It's easy, and the best way to learn a language and a different culture is to jump into it btw.

I ran Raid GAF, which was branched out into separate clans. However, there's no clan support in the game aside from having a clan tag under your username. People just make friends and group with them.
Damn that looks cool! You better ascend that thing when the time comes!

The MMO experience
oh my god
Compared to a traditional MMO gear treadmill (and don't get me wrong, Destiny has a gear treadmill for sure), it's actually a bit less of a "left behind" situation in Destiny, especially right now. In a lot of ways even veterans had to start from scratch on Tuesday to some extent in terms of raw progression.
diffusionx, I say just make yourself a presence here in these threads, ask questions, look for groups, and you'll have a great time.

I've always said that Destiny is not a solo experience. If you aren't resourceful or aren't playing with a group of friends, the game loses its luster very quickly and becomes inaccessible.
But now that I'm on the other end of that (and it isn't the first time), it feels incredibly overwhelming and off-putting - moreso than i gave it credit for. I played through the Story portions solo as I'd intended to, and I've done so with a few quests thereafter as well. But at this point, the mess of new mechanics is going over my head. On the one hand, I just want someone to explain everything to me so I don't spin my wheels all day. On the other hand, I don't want to know everything and I don't want to play with people way ahead of me.
I see a bunch of guides on Reddit relevant to my interests, but I always stop myself from looking.

Questions:
1) Do we know how much light the Armsday weapons will have?
2) Can I do the daily story and Crucible on my other characters and get another 30 marks? So 90 a day? Don't see marks as rewards when I look but think that's because I haven't finished the story on my other two.
3) Does the attack value on a weapon matter outside of averaging into your light level? Meaning does the weapon take on its attack value or assume your light level for its attack value?
4) Where do I find those weekly crucible bounties that when complete give nightfall tier rewards?

Love the strike exclusive armor. Wonder how reasonable it is to expect their content pipeline to provide that sort of thing for all classes for each strike in the future. Seems like they ramped up pretty hard for TTK, but I'm assuming that delayed Destiny 2 or whatever it is a bit.
Feeling kinda the same way. Taking stock of everything I can get done solo right now and jumping into it. Probably going to try and find a group to do all the group centric stuff at once later today once I've got the number of things doable down.

No one at all that are interested in trying heroic strikes?
May as well read them if you wanna raid on Friday.
Also I feel the same way but I'm enjoying it since I'm one who missed out on TDB and HoW. I enjoy how we're all trying to figure out stuff.

Is this from the regular strike playlist? Is the drop rate good? Thinking of using that to get marks after the daily and weekly activities.

Can't seem to find people for heroic strikes currently, so if you're still looking for someone, I'm ready to go

1 - No idea. The roll might be determined by your current light level like other loot or it may be set in stone. Wont know until someone gets a package
2 - No. Its account wide.
3 - Yes. Both Light Level and Attack rating are calculated for outgoing damage by some unknown formula.
4 - Shaxx

It's nearly forcing solo play at the moment with all the different quests people are all at different stages
Speaking of which I'm getting smashed on the paradox quest and have all the other quests you get from finishing the story anyone else need to run through them or I'm giving up and just PvPing
I feel like the raid should have been next Friday (or even two Fridays from now) if they really wanted people to not feel rushed/experience things without feeling compelled to look at a guide. I've got the whole week off, am working exclusively on my Titan, and I still feel like I need to rush to get ready.

i like when there's new stuff to discover, but it feels everyone already discovered it.

Concerning Light Levels:
240 is where you want to be for Weekly Heroic strikes.
280 seems to be the basis every one can eventually get to with vendor items.
310 is the highest Light in the DBs right now that we can see.
You'll want to be wearing the highest light possible when completing things because your loot drops are directly tied to your Light Level https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...light_level_of_gear_you_acquire_is_dependant/
So to get higher level gear, you must have higher level gear.
