Wish legendary marks weren't capped to 200. Every second day I'm capped and don't know what to spend them on.

I agree that about half the weapons have questionable stats, but the armor all seems pretty strong to me. Don't think I'd use any of it for infusion fuel...

in that case I would just buy the gauntlets. Reason being is that the engram could end up as an item for another class. and even with 280 gauntlets you will be able to infuse high stat blue or unwanted 290+ exotics to make the defense higher.
Hope that helps.

Trying to do the T3 CoO this week with the general public is uhm interesting. Had a guy actually send me a message asking how to damage baby crota. Invited his team to my party chat - explained it then wrecked him. Guy was extremely happy and appreciative because I'm assuming he finished a quest. Cool moments like that make destiny so awesome.

This is my dilemma as well, going to start buying year 2 exotics from the vendor today.
Nothing I want from any of the other vendors.

Spend them on materials?, its what I do. I aint about that farming mars for relic iron life anymore.
yep, I bitched about that hard when they announced the cap won't be increased. it basically prevents people from hoarding if they don't feel like wasting it on stuff they don't really want.

Hadn't even thought about it. Seven strikes in a row without Dust Palace, I feel so special.

last week i had 5 Hawkmoonw drop frim 3 of coins. Today.... xur is selling freakin Hawkmoon
I really hate the fact that the Raid gear is 300+ Light only.
Why?
Well ... for starters, the Raid Gear looks like crap. Never liked the Hive gear. Second, you can only run the Raid once per character and even then it's still not 100% sure you get every piece of armor.
O great! You got a 305 weapon. O? The one you have currently is 299. INFUSE TIME! Result? 301 weapon.
Again, House of Wolves was great for upgrading old gear. Hell, even VoG/Crota gear become relevant again.
Shame that Bungie didn't do more with VoG/Crota armor. I would've been pretty happy where you would go on a Quest and gather an item that could upgrade/infuse your old Raid Gear. I still have VoG/Crota/ToO gear on all my characters. Can't say goodbye just yet.

Hmm, so I remember Taniks mentioning at the end of the Spindle quest that the Taken will try to control all Fallen Houses. Well as I'm going into Scourge of Winter to kill Draksis for the millionth time, the Ghost mentions that "the Fallen we faced at the Archive were from the House of Winter"...
Wasn't the Archive a daily a few days ago? Maybe if we make our way to Draksis' ship on that day, we'll get another secret Taken event?

If only we could buy hadium flakes with marks.
I would gladly spend 100 marks for 20 hadium flakes....
I was scrolling through the Destinytracker Population statistics and I found some interesting numbers for the new subclasses, I'll link them here for you guys. Disclaimer: These stats are from Destinytracker's tracked gamers, not the entire Destiny population, so they're more representative of the hardcore base than the casuals.
Super Kills(PvP)
Hunter Nightstalker 57,199,506 (5.13%)
Titan Sunbreaker 32,709,437 (2.93%)
Warlock Stormcaller 30,251,716 (2.71%)
Grenade kills (PVP)
Hunter Nightstalker 32,651,394 (4.30%)
Warlock Stormcaller 28,003,235 (3.69%)
Titan Sunbreaker 16,915,360 (2.23%)
Melee kills (PVP)
Warlock Stormcaller 40,874,589 (3.33%)
Hunter Nightstalker 34,545,917 (2.81%)
Titan Sunbreaker 30,945,952 (2.52%)
Here's the Destinytracker class breakdown for reference
Hunter 1,890,494
Warlock 1,854,319
Titan 1,786,529

Notes:Bow is doing work it seems and the Nightstalker grenades are better than I expected, the Lockdown skill perk takes them from lacklustre to godly. Warlocks having the most melee kills is normal, it really shouldn't be a surprise.

Thanks man! Great run with everyone. It's pretty simple once everyone gets into the rhythm of the encounter.
Friiiiidaaaaaay!
Hive armor is definitely a hit or miss. I think the Crota Hunter gear was pretty nice except for the helm. Warlock helm was alright, the rest was ugly. Titan was the worst. It was ugly all around with no ability ot make it look nice with any shader.
Considering Oryx uses Taken, I wish the King's Fall raid had more varied design that was a combination of all the races he controls.
Relic Iron is the answer.
Well 90% of people playing PvP use Hunter soooo

Eris will probably stock it when nobody needs it anymore.
Yeah, and now they made it even harder to farm for some reason! My loop in the breach wasn't working last night.
Well it was a glitch/exploit to begin with.
This. I'm not a fan of how the Hive stuff looks. Hell, when HoW arrived along with the Etheric Lights I switched back to my VoG gear. That stuff still looks pretty damn awesome.
I hoped King's Fall raid gear would look more like the Fallen. The Ghost does though .. which is weird. O well, there's a slight chance Hard-More KF will offer a different look.
Vex DLC HYPE!
Yeah, wasn't that in the Hot Fix notes?

True. I wish we would get some Cabal style armor.

I'd say that a lot of the reason that the numbers are skewed in favor of hunters is due to their being so many hunters pre ttk. It was definitely the top used class before. Im actually surprised at how much more popular the Titan has gotten. I can understand why though. I love titans. They're my first born.
The hotfix mentioned relocating certain chests, because there was an exploit(for which the method has been around since vanilla) where, if you open a chest, get to another zone(name change) and get back before it despawns, you can open it again. Indefinitely, or at least until someone else joins the map and causes it to fix itself. There was at least one chest that was in a perfect position for this in The Mausoleum.
I'm unaware of any just, general changes to chests though.
Edit: Of course maybe what they were doing was this exploit in which case, yeah hotfix notes mentioned it lol. Though farming them with a normal chest route isn't all that bad, especially for a Nightstalker. Not fun, but not horrible.

Imagine that Cabal Ghost! 10x the size of a regular ghost, cannons, thickass plate and visible jetengines to make it float.

Oh god... look how fucking sexy that thing looks.
Makes me wonder how amazing Destiny would look on PC with ultra textures, 60FPS, and proper anti aliasing.

Well I finally got my MIDA...through the Legacy engram lol. I just woke up so this is probably hours-old news, but the Legacy engram does seem to be very very good about prioritizing stuff you didn't have. I was missing 3 out of 11 primary Y1 weapons, I bought 3 engrams and it decrypted into the 3 I didn't have.
You get a ton from playing, they seem to pop in patrol chests all the time, engrams, faction levels etc. Last week when Xur left I was down to about 65 coins. Right now I have about 200, and I didn't even play as much as I would have liked this week.
