Yes and no. While playing you can drop those DUMJ00S that will give you 200 rep each.

Oh ok. Doubt I'll find 8 of those before Armsday reset :p

Today, being at work is so tough. I wish I were home getting Raid ready. Still 287, and I don't feel confident entering under 299 even if I'm close. Hopefully between 17h30 when I get home and 19h00 when the Raid opens I'll get lucky.

I gotta do the Summoner's Circle mission - does this by any reward any high Light stuff?

We can do some more strikes. We get a lot of engrams from it.

You have an icon that will do that for you (4th from the right) or use the code: [ IMG]image url[ /IMG] without the spaces inside the brackets.

You actually have to kill a little bit more than 100%. Happened to me as well.

ocean said:
Restart the game, go there and kill more Fallen in case it's a rounding bug, and if that doesn't work then sit down and cry :(

I cleared Cosmodrome last night and it was such a pain. Really hope this isn't an issue with the quest!

You can also run the Devil's Lair for the Earth part, the Taniks strike for the moon part etc. The yellow bars give about ~5%, assuming you're doing the Variks quest.

Majors 5% you say? Game changer. Makes this madness a bit more reasonable :p

That'll be later though, no time to finish that quest line between when I get home and when the Raid opens.

What is rough about this quest is that each time you are doing it the Taken will appear and you will need to relocate so doing the strikes might be the way to go.

If Majors are 5 then a single Taniks run should be enough if we get it while playing Strikes. But again, not gonna focus on that today. Just wanna do Summoner's Circle and grind dem Strikes to crack past 290. 3 more light RNG pls

Trying to get together a team for a raid group today for when it goes live. I need 3 more, PM me if you want to be in...I'll most likely try to stream it as well

I am probably going to grind strikes for the next 7-8 hours in hopes of getting to 280-290 (I am 250 at the moment)

I think what annoys me the most about the new light scheme is that the legendary drops you get are also bound to your current level rather than a decent value of 280.

They don't really help and feel truly legendary, they're just another step on the grind.

Do you get Legendary Marks if you're Level 40, from all the story missions? I just got some from
First DreadNaught patrol where you plant 3 beacons. The first was silly where you had to jump all the way up to scout. Had to switch to Quad jump with Bones XD.

EDIT: And now my Dreadnaught Patrol went away?!

Good luck buddy, I'm stuck at 230 and in work all day so it's unlikely I'll be raiding tonight,

I'm a bit gutted and may just go and play MGSV all weekend.

not going to say it's impossible since i grinded from 250 to 287 all day today, but you probably wont make it in time for when the raid opens unless Xur brings something magical.

Your only guaranteed repeating Mark gaining opportunities are 1 PvP Daily, 1 Story Daily (15 Marks each), the first 3 Weekly Heroic Strikes you do in a week (10 Marks each) and something from NF.

Then there's a ton of quests which pay Marks when you do 'em. Make sure not to go over 200 or you'll lose them!

Lost 8 marks yesterday because I was so near the cap and didn't even know it :p

He's the hero we need...not the one we deserve.

It's all dependent on RNG though, I went from 220-250 quite quickly...so let's see.

I still need a group. DJ said something about that I am in the second Team Sexy raid group but I haven't hear anything about that. I guess I'll just find a group by the morning :p

Patrolling the dreadnaught was fun, CoO is great fun, farming mats tho... Need hadium for the sword but only found 10 all night

There's a pretty easy loop you can do around the area right where you start. I wish I had a link or something for it but it's just something I figured out. Basically, check the walls on the right side. One can spawn right in the room for either of the two contained rooms, another can spawn in the tunnel on an upper ledge if the room entering into it didn't have a chest. Then I go down the little canal like area between the right wall and the ship wreckage where all the fighting is taking place to the left- there's a room there that can have it- plus a check at a room in the bottom most part of the area and the upper left corner near the ship.

Sorry that's not too helpful- basically just look for all the rooms in the area you spawn in on patrol and loop them. If someone else is already doing it, sync up with them and follow them around so you both get it or just restart till you're alone.

250 to 290 should be doable if you're putting in that kind of time. Just keep changing out your gear before decrypting and don't pay any attention to whether stuff is blue or purple. The later quests in chains tend to reward higher level stuff too.

Ahh thanks. I didn't even see a quest for
first dreadnaught patrol
so the 15 marks was probably tied to that quest.

Just wanted to say after getting some time with it, Nightstalker is absolutely fantastic for PvP and one of the best PvP specs in the game.

I see, so you
get to pick a 200 legendary you can infuse up from there if you want to stick with it for beating the main campaign. Gonna try the Apple of Discord. Not sold on Hakke Pulse Rifles but I love the name.
All in all the campaign was short, but no filler. It was simply a great few hours of PvE. I played using found gear the most of the time, resisting the temptation to switch back to old standards, and found it considerably challenging and rewarding to beat. New players, who don't have the option of tapping into their year one supply, may have trouble with missions- but of course, done with friends they're considerably easier.

Highlight for me was the
somehow mechanically sound stealth mission in Crota's End. Was just a fantastic design despite using existing in-game territory. Simple fun and the payoff for getting caught is hilarious/shocking.

Posed this question yesterday, looking for those who finished Variks and Petra questlines.

After finishing both I am not getting the Lost and Found quest from Petra.

Is there a delay to get it? Until the reset?

That's a possibility. For me it already dropped after the Petra quest but before the Variks quests. Ikkarus on the other hand completed both questlines and the Lost and Found mission dropped the next day.

Doing the strikes now, I thought Fallen S.A.B.E.R. was rather well done with the electricity mechanic, nice visual design in the bunker and getting to kick around the boss. Nice.
