Do we still get shards for breaking the legendries from the vanguard?
got max vanguard marks on both characters and my warlock just need a bit more rep to be able to buy armour. Seems to be nothing else to really spend vanguard marks on.

vanguard weapons? cost 150 marks. on sale from vanguard quartermaster near the ship quartermaster.
 
any reason why am not getting any rewards at the end of the crucible games ????? doesnt matter how many kills or points i take in a game out of the 6 players i seem to be the only one not getting any thing out of it, i can be last with no kills or second and still not get any thing, am only level 12 but i can hold my own yet i get nothing for my troubles how come
 
its completely random.

No score or kills or anything else for that matter have no bearing. Forget what you know about FPS games as this doesn't apply. Its pot luck.

It's random, like the item drop system.
 
It's just random, only the strikes got updated to drop better loot and more often. I've no idea why crucible wasn't included with that update, but that would just make too much sense wouldn't it.

It doesn't even need to be decent stuff that you get as long as you got something such as relic iron, spin metal etc depending on which planet the map is played on, would also stop the need to waste hours of game time to just collect random materials to upgrade armor/weapons.

I have looked, but going by the stats none of the guns he has at the moment are better than the ones I currently have. Favourite are auto rifles.
I've got the Grim citizen 3 at 257 attack, so I can either get that to 300 if it's going to make much difference. Or I can see what xur has tomorrow and hope he has something better.
 
So to the people who have spent too much time stat-checking, any recommendations on the guns you can buy from all the vendors? Be nice to pull some decent info together in one spot - perhaps the best Vanguard one (should be obvious tbh) and a Faction one (including Crucible)

So far it looks like in my purchases that:

Best Auto - Vanquisher 8 from New Monarchy as it has good perks and Perfect Balance
Best Fusion - Light/Beware from Vanguard as it seems to have better charge rate and I prefer the perk of aiming means it has further range.

The engram xur sells for 23 motes of light, is it always an engram for armour or could it decode into a weapon?

I've never heard of one decoding into a weapon, bought 2 myself and they were always the same type of armour that the icon represented.

Does anyone fancy doing the nightfall at some point tonight?

I have 19 motes of light. What are the best chances of getting another 4 for xur this weekend? Grinding strikes and weekly heroic?

Equip a maxed out subclass and spam the daily bounties for exp. The exp will then go towards motes of light which can be tracked by highlighting your level 20 on the left of your character screen. I got 2-3 a day when the queens wrath bounties were on and ended up with 50+ last week which i spent on 2 egrams.

Then if you run out of bounties to do for that day the level 24 strike will net you minimum 2 blues per completion which can decode into motes and will also level up your cryptarch level by a lot which will again get you more blue/purple egrams to decode.
 
If anyone's raiding tonight and need to make up some players, I'm up for it. Been through it twice now but only got up to the fight with the shield thing both times. Still, I did get some decent gauntlets from it last night ('Kabr's Brazen Grips').

OK, I'm trying my best to love destiny but I can't get over the fact its so repetitive, I'm now level 14 on Venus and each mission is go here deploy ghost fight wave of enemy's getting slightly more aggressive.

Should I throw in the towel and sell while it's worth something or keep forcing myself to continue?

I can't fault it technically its great to play and feels satisfying when I beat the last horde but its just so repetitive and seems to be lacking soul and a story that would have made it an excellent game.

I tried sleeping on it yesterday thinking I was having a bad day when playing it but I just finished another Venus mission and feel the same way again... Run - deploy - shoot - run - deploy - shoot etc...

The story missions dont get any less repetitive I'm afraid. The most fun is doing the Raid but getting to level 26-ish so you can realistically do it is a bit of a grind fest.

Try pvp, if you don't enjoy that.. I'd get out lol.

Best Fusion (PVE) - 77 Wizard, better stats for that game mode (i think)

Best fusion (PVP) - Light/Beware, its quicker, but less damage

i need to buy one, anyone got 77 wizard? Can it kill in 1 shot?
