This. And if you've got a legendary you definitely don't want to keep don't just dismantle it immediately. Put some motes/exp in to it to completely unlock it, but don't upgrade it. You'll then get 5 marks for the dismantle rather than 3.

I like the exotics will be on quests, it will certaintly give a more earned feel to them (even though before you had to earn SC to buy them). Interesting about the increased chance of a drop, I wonder if there will be limitations on which boss fights it applies - any boss in any mission? only in strikes? only in herioc strikes?
I cannot remember if I ever had pocket infiity but certainly have had all other exotics from year 1. So for completeness it might be worth buying one or two of these to get pocket infinity.

Just completed the nightfall which wasn't too bad all things considered although we nearly wiped at the end. Got my first year 2 exotic weapon(The Last Word), not exactly a top tier PvE weapon but I guess it will do for the moment. I will probably switch it out for the titan autorifle when I get lv3 gunsmith.... or any other exotic in existence

What light level are you Reeve.

Finding it hard to get my light up now. I'm light 289 but everything I get is either a few points higher and not enough to push me up, or it's not even close so definitely hope Xur can bump it up with an exotic
Question though, exotics seem to be 280 light/defense/attack, but yeah I have rares and legendary gear that are 298. So surely you are going to be able to bump that up? Seems silly having exotics that are the same rating as rares.

Xur is smiling on Warlocks today...

288 at the moment but if I pick up the reward for doing the nightfall I will probably be 290, I'm holding off claiming the reward as i'm really not sure which weapon to pick.
I see a few complaints about the new mark system but if you think about it, its actually an improvement in every way. You can earn 210 marks a week in under 4 hours, this is faster than you could earn marks previously as far as i'm aware and you don't have to be heavily geared up to do it. It also allows you to gain access to the more expensive items within the first week if you're that way inclined so impatient people like me who have nothing better to do at the moment have something work towards.
Really, is anyone playing vanilla Destiny 12 months after launch? Is anyone here on vanilla? If you're the kind of person that is organising fireteams for nightfalls and raids every week, you're buying the DLC. Bungie have always been up front about it being a 10 year episodic experience, if you want to keep enjoying the game you will need to buy the expansions. Not directed at you btw, but really, if you're unhappy with Destiny, don't buy the expansions, simple!
Gutted I'm missing Xur.
What's the deal with logging in on someone else's system? In London for the weekend and just noticed my mates flatmate has a ps4. Can you just login on your psn account?

Exotics no longer seem high than legendary (at the moment) I have heard people comment about having an exotic higher than 280 however it seems legendaries and rare's also go that high.
You tease
what is Xur selling?To earn the ones from the herioc strike it is recommended that you are 260 light. Considering the top is 300 (or higher with the raid) 260 isn't that high but considering you have to grind and hope for drops before then it is slightly annoying. I managed to buy a piece of armour yesterday but hoping with Xur drop for a 280 I will be high enough to give herioc strike a go as I need some marks to buy a ghost. It almost seems a waste to buy a ghost but everything I have is between 250-280 yet I still have my speaker ghost which is 190

Got a set of exotic gloves at 280 and a 290 helm from an exotic engram. Pushed me up to 270 light. Quite surprised that the price of everything hasn't gone up because I used to struggle to get enough strange coins a week to buy what I wanted from Xur. Now I managed to get nearly 100 in about 4 days.
Caporegime
Is there no one at home who can stick your ps4 on?
If you trust someone on here enough then you could always get one of us to do it for you.
Man of Honour
So annoying, so my helmet is 298 light and my gloves 287...so what incentive is there to wear an exotic other than willy waving?
Exotics should be the best items in the game by a long way, ridiculous that they are less light than the others

You need to grind for engrams and use these to Infuse your exotics and level them up...
The whole point of an exotic is that it will have the best perks/specials etc but it won't help you jump the que progressing light levels
If you have a 300+ blue piece of armour, infuse it into your exotic to make it better!
Man of Honour
Oh I didn't know you could infuse the exotics, well that makes a lot more sense.
Caporegime
I got my missing Dragon's Breath in the first attempt but I've got 300 coins to "waste" on trivialities. Doubt I'll ever use it either.
It's fun to stand by the Cryptarch now and watch all the exotics get decrypted and see what people are getting.
