Ok cool, I've been doing that exactly. But since blue engrams have a small chance to drop purples, should I just hoard all of those as well?

I wouldn't worry to much about blues/greens until your maybe around 35-36 then if your equipment is decent enough you might start hoarding a few engrams until 40 but blues are easy enough to farm :)

was in a public group this morning doing a Raid plus the oryx's chall and i heard something from one of the fireteam members that made my skin crawl. We had a full fireteam and one of the guys mates joined that party and he starts discussing destiny and the what. he says he is just starting out and has only got to level 5. What ensues is the creepy guy that must have been in his 40s try and get the kinderguadian on his friends list for all the refer a friend ****.

the only thing that i could think of with this 40+ year old guy trying to get a teenager or younger kid on his friends list was this scene from Shawshanks Redemption




top tip..........dont be that guy

The main reason everyone was up in arms about the refer-a-friend scheme when it came out was that the old guard already had all their friends playing destiny. The main reason I hated it is because I knew it would encourage that kind of behaviour, people going around begging newbies to team up with them.

Hey,

So I have a weird problem... I'm L40 and Rank 1 with Crucible. After completing one of the quests that the Crucible dude gives you (the English dude), he gave me a reward token that said it would turn into a Legendary item... instead all I got was 4 strange coins and 4 motes of light!

What's up with that? The only thing I can think of is that I haven't completed TTK campaign yet - could that be it?

A similar thing happened when I dinged Rank 1 with New Monarchy... the token he gave me turned into coins and motes of light, rather than a Legendary item as it said it would. However at that point I was L32-ish and didn't have TTK yet, so I put it down to that.

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Cheers,

Su

You don't get any legendary gear until you hit rank 3.

Spent most of last night trying to get Black Spindle with a few friends from Forever Gaming who were on the more mature side of life so their reaction times aren't the best. One was a bzzzzzzzzt warlock and the other was a bow & arrow hunter, myself a defend0r Titten. None of us had exotic swords.

I haven't played the game in about two months so coming from CoD to this took a bit of adjusting but we didn't make it sadly.

I do feel that that particular challenge is a tad too difficult, an extra minute or two would be perfect, as these older gentlemen will more than likely never get the sniper which is a shame.

Tbh the vendor 1000 yard stare (triple tap, mulligan) and sniper reload perk on your armour is just as good if not better than the spindle, wouldn't worry about it :)

Yep, apart from helping others I think I'm also done with destiny. It was already frustrating as hell that Bungie can't make their minds up about weapons, so as soon as you get a decent loadout that you like and are effective with, they nerf it. The raids are terrible, I get that many think that they're good as this is probably their first experience raiding but having cleared Icecrown Citadel, I can tell you that these raids pale in comparison.
The new light level stuff is crap. You can't use what you want because it may not have a high enough light level and you need to infuse stuff. Everyone was moaning about weapon parts being scarce, what does Bungie do? NERF THE DROPRATE LOLOLOL. Idiots.

Then they made a Banana clash. That for me was the final nail, it was such a pussy ass campfest it just ruined what was one of the most fun activities I could have in a game.

I still like Destiny, I think it's a great game, it's just that Bungie make some of the dumbest decisions I have ever come across in a game.

And don't even get me started on nerfing shoulder charge and shotguns. That was my bread & butter in the crucible, and they broke it.

Hi lads, first time on this post :p
Grabbed Destiny on PS4 the other day, got it with my friend, but only played it once and used the RAF thing as I have been best mates with him since we were kids, and anyways, any tips or advice what I should be doing first? I have used my 25 boost on a hunter, but feel like ive jumped in too deep and dont really know anything...

That was announced weeks ago before the xmas break.

I'm glad they take a proper break over X-Mas....a lot of studios just grind their employees into the ground until they snap.

I have no issue with the free SC's and MOL but why did they have to appear 3 at a time?!

Played for a bit last night but quickly got bored. I must say though I do miss the raid runs with all you guys. Might be cool to run a "nostalgia" run at some point through VoG & CE. :)
