what enemies in the court (or dreadnaught) count as ultras? The summoned ogre from the wormsinger rune definitely ate my three of coins buff last night.

With sublime engrams, be aware you know exactly what item it's going to be.

There is only one item per slot per class. So if you want a particular one you can transfer it to that class before decrypting. Or if you have one and don't like the perks you can get a duplicate and delete the one you prefer less.

The Ultras summoned with the Wormsinger Runes and Skybringer Command Codes count, and someone mentioned the Antiquated Rune boss did as well. The Reciprocal and Stolen Rune bosses do not. Not sure about the Agonarch Rune yet.

4 Crest of Alpha Lupis (split between Hunter/titan versions) last week from 3oC engrams... and my first one this week is another one. God damnit.

Got around to buying my Hung Jury last night. So rad. I took it on yet another tiny story mission that unlocked when I picked up a dead ghost. Obliterated everything. I infused it with a high attack rare handcannon I had lying around and accidently made it the highest attack value weapon I own. Oops. Good thing its pretty close to being my favorite scout rifle. Makes me think I should cancel my Omolon scout rifle order with Banshee and pick up something else. No way it beats my Hung Jury, right?
 
Heroic Strike playlist provides better and more reliable rewards quickly. Granted, no chance at exotics other than a legendary engram turning into one, but still.

is this confirmed there are better rewards for the heroic playlist than the 36 one? Everything I hear is to the contrary.

Just for anyone who isn't sure which these are, if you're just around the Dreadnaught and weren't involved with the summoning... if you see text in the bottom left like "The hive/cabal are bringing in reinforcements" (not really but something like that) and this wave ends in a named boss, that boss will accept your 3oC

Asking one more time for new page... I think I get overlooked more often than not. LOL

Every faction has unique weapons and armour. It's well worth getting all three of them up to Level 3 to access everything.

Like yourself, I'm holding out hope for a proper Queen's Wrath faction at some point. Still got my cape from the original event and need an upgrade for it.

I really wanted to take down Oryx last night. Couldn't sleep at all.

#ManOnAMission

You'll get him tonight!

Hey if someone from your team can't make it back tonight and you need a replacement let me know. Im happy to sub in and I desperately need to kill Oryx on my warlock so that I can get my ToM.
 
This has to be the worst quest requirement. wtf

I've only gotten 3 rare material in the past half hour. Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I don't even know how you could confirm this.

I've been wondering that too. I'd be pretty disappointed if the heroic playlist has no actual benefit outside the 3 initial runs for marks very week.

So confirmed Nightfalls don't give marks eh?

The rewards are sooo all over the place. I think the best thing for it now would be just some form of guaranteed infusion material. Used to be if you got a legendary with a bad roll from a Nightfall it was garbage. Now if you get one with some higher attack/defense and don't want it you can at least use it to power up something you like. But 3 of Coins or Motes...

I don't even know how you could confirm this.
Does it not at least give more rep per strike?

Maybe it has slightly higher purple drop rates? I mean, there's no way we could really confirm that without Bungie just telling us though. I'd always suspect I'd just gotten lucky.

That's pretty low.

Advise: Use your ghost with the right material detection... And then stay on your sparrow and do loops around each area until a marker pops up on your screen. Do one or two loops around each area in the planet. Then go to orbit and load back in.... If you find a chance to use the "zone in and zone out" glitch then use it for as long as you can

That's what I would expect, at any rate. Or at least for the boss-specific items to have a higher drop rate in the heroics. They certainly SHOULD.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. Completed the 14 step Crucible quest line (including winning 2 games in each gametype). Big reward at the end - one Crucible Commendation. Are you serious?

lol there's more steps in that quest line. i think you go to banshee to get wins with 6+ auto kills, then pulse, hand cannon, and scout, then to Shaxx for win 9 points in crucible. win = 3, starting a new match = -1. then you unlock the weekly bounties.
 
Thinking of buying 100 ToC,but the notion of running 100 Strikes is a bit daunting. I heard CoO bosses count, but that's probably too fast for the nerf timer. Wish we knew exactly how long that timer was.

Yeah butt hurt here too. Even using a 3 of Coins for a NF boss should really guarantee a exotic drop but it doesn't do that either.

ugh, so tedious

Yeah, the blues above 290 are rare. CoO or Raid much better shots at progress from there

suddenly my luck has gone up cuz I keep getting blues above 290 now.
