*** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

Will add you now :) I am happy to help out if you are stuggling to get 3 people together but I don't need any of the armour drops from the queen missons so will defer to others if they want the armour drops. I will be on from around 7-7:30 tonight.

I'll be on from about 8 onwards tonight too - need me some purple weapons so don't mind doing the queens bounty again.
 
Finally! finished the PvP bit of Thorn. Looking at it I'm going to need some help with the Xyur bit, I don't suppose anyone will be around tomorrow morning that wouldn't mind helping?

That mission was much harder than me and my brother initially thought and as a result we got our asses kicked the first time. We did this and it worked really well:

1: Get Phogoth down to half health.
2: Retreat into the room just before the one at the doorway where the Shrieker spawns, in there you can funnel all the enemies easily.
3: Occasionally someone will need to go out and shoot Phogoth just to keep his attention whilst the other(s) stay put to get rid of the Shrieker as soon as it spawns.
4: You're going to get a variety of enemies coming through the door at you but if you keep killing them then going out to hit Phogoth now and again eventually Xyor will spawn, there's nothing special about him he'll die pretty fast.

Just be patient, at times you'll think something is wrong but he will spawn it just takes time. If you knew all this already sorry =)
 
Sat at level 28.5 now. Entirely dependent on shards, it's a pain in the arse :(

If none of my mates are on to raid, it's a case of doing strikes to *hopefully* get a legendary engram, *hoping* that its an armor piece, and then *hopefully* it will decode into a legendary.

A chance of a chance of a chance, so stupid :p

Cheers mate. I'm in no crazy rush - everyone in my friends list is below 20 so we'd need a 3rd person too. I'll give you a shout if I see you on.

Or just use your crucible and vanguard points to buy armour and dismantle armour for 3 shards each, what i do. Do public event each day could get to another 1 per day.

i also use strange coins to buy stuff and dismantle it.

Bungie updated website today, some new feature added.

I'll be hitting the game tonight after the kids have gone to bed (>2000hrs). I'm on nights tomorrow, so there's no rush to go to bed this evening. :D

Tag in sig if anyone wants to add me for some co-op play.
 
What are legendary items turning into now? I've got 14 body and 6 helm now from queens missions so need to get rid of some, but is the new update going to make a difference to what I get from them?

No

you will still get naff all when breaking it down.

They aren't about to undo that. It was done deliberately to stop people getting lots of shards too quickly.

You normally need about 24 to fully upgrade a piece of armor and they've designed it so that it should take you months to do this to all 4 pieces of armor. But people doing the queens missions were managing to get 24 in a day with 8 queen missions.

these methods are all carefully controlled. You can't get more than 200 marks a week so approx 6 pieces of armor every 2 weeks. Thats only enough to fully upgrade one piece of armor - and thats with maxing out PVP and PVE weekly allowances. Again the daily public event can only be done once to carefully control what you can do. Xur only appears at weekends in an attempt to stop the market from being flooded with exotic stuff which people will dismantle.

But the queen missions had no limit and you could do loads of them very quickly, unbalancing the economy.

What class and level are you? I have solo'd that mission 3 times as a level 26 Warlock (Voidwalker) and almost got through last time without dying. I don't know how well it would worl for other classes as the special really helps. My class is legendary auto rifle, solar sniper, arc rocket launcher. In each section take down all the smaller enemies before taking on the 'boss' of the area. Most mini bosses have blue shield so rocket launch them, mine kills them in one shot but if not their shield will be down so switch to your primary and kill them. The Solar sniper is useful for the wizards you meet and the flying fallen bots (cant remember the name) as they have orange shields.

The two really hard bits I found first time round was the ogre and final boss. As soon as I trigger the ogre throw a grenade which will help damage all the other enemies that spawn. Once throwm retreat and stay out of sight of the ogre while picking everyone else off. For the ogre I use cover to get close then my Warlock super takes it down in one shot ( I don't know if a Hunters or Titans will as haven't tried). The other hard part is the final boss but keep your rockets back if you can, kill the ones praying and put your ghost in to the shrine and run back to where you came in. You can easily stay out of sight of the boss while killing everyon else, once dead fire a rocket at the boss. My launcher has 2 rounds so I can fire both but if you don't have time or miss then retreat back to the corridor you came from as all the small enemies respawn. Just repeat until you have killed the final boss then it is easy to destroy the shrine.

That easy :D If you are on ps4 happy to play it through with you.

So yes i am warlock void full and started to lvl up the secondary but i run heroics as voidwalker still. I got easily at the boss fight (ogre one shot with heavy) but i was overwhelmed either by the mobs or the boss dies ten times then i didnt bother. I rerun the restoration stage in the queen's wrath and go the chest and head. Is there any other item that drops that i should farm for (queen's wrath missions)
 
I've just seen that patch 1.0.2 goes live today, approximately 6pm or so. Typical that I just levelled up the Cryptach, got a legendary engram as a reward, and of course it was a useless blue. Oh well, at least it'll make farming for materials more useful, knowing that if a legendary drops it'll be something decent and not another bloody blue item.

You can get a legendary sniper rifle from the Queen missions, not sure about anything else though.
 
I feel like i'm missing something with this game as you're all talking about it in such depth ....... I load it up, and it shows the plane from which I choose Earth or Moon then select one of the missions. I've done about 6 or 7 and there seems to be one more open up each time I play it.... is there something I'm missing?
 
Pardon our dust! Patch 1.0.2 goes live today. You will need to log in again after returning to the title screen, but will not be kicked from activities. The patch goes live at 10:00 AM PDT.

BOOOSHH!!! I'll actually be excited to decode a legendary engram. :)
 
Patch is live, shoop da whoop!

Looking forward to even moar rewards from Crucible / Strikes!

Hopefully it will dissuade people from cave farming...

Anyone open their postmaster / cryptarch engrams yet..?
 
I decrypted 20 odd blues, levelled up Cryptarch twice, got only blues in the reward packages. One blue did turn to purple gauntlets so not all bad.

Good now high level strikes offer potential rewards, can do that exotic bounty. :)
