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

I got 9 shards for clearing the weekly nightfall yesterday, did it again today just to see what I would get and it was literally **** all :p

If anybody is struggling to do the weekly challenges in a group just try it on your own since you're more then likely going to be more cautious rather then running in to revive someone only to get yourself killed, I've managed to do all of them so far with very little problems.

Also does anyone know when the weekly challenges change?

Go to the cave I normally get 2 legendary engrams in an hour of farming. It also levels up the rep for the decoder guy and normally I get at least 1 legendary engram from him in the mail when I level up that reputation which is very easy to do.

That's where I have been farming, I'm wondering if it's because I have yet to get rank 2 vanguard rep , so I'm not getting purple drops.

I've never even seen shards from the nightfall strike until now and I've seen a few loot screenshots from it, so I wouldn't bet on getting any

If there's any chance I can get shards, let alone that many, then I'm interested. I'm level 27 and I've picked up 4 so far, one of them from Heroic Daily. Not much to lose.

I'd imagine you can only get those rewards once a week though?

best way to farm ascendant materials without raiding is by doing a public event every day (gold tier). you usually get one in material in the mail.
 
Yeah there are massive problems with the game (eternal loading times, bland enemies, terrible writing/acting, etc) but it is highly addictive and there is now way it's a 6/10. More like an 8/10. Very good but flawed. It pushed the genre forward in some ways at least -- especially graphically.

It's a weird one. I want to play this lots, but I don't necessarily always enjoy it. If I was to compare this to, e.g., TLOU I would say TLOU is a piece of filet mignon and this is like a can of Pringles. One of them is tasty, nutritious and satisfying. The other is just moreish.
 
Finished the story, done all the strikes on the planets and done some of the strike playlists I can do at my level.

Is it a case of grinding now to get myself some legendary gear as I won't stand a chance with the higher level strikes.

Even though I'm level 24 I still have all blue items which won't cut it.

I love this game but I wish there was a bit more variety to level up vanguard rep so I can buy some legendary gear it just feels like it's going to be a grind now.

Did a few of those while I was farming Helium Filaments last week. I guess that's where the rest of my shards came from :p

Cheers for the tip :)
 
Finished my exotic weapon bounty, got my brother to do the crucible parts. Reward was the Invective shotgun, looks decent but I bet the massive recoil ruins it. First one I've got too.

I'm so unlucky with legendary engrams, only had maybe two drop from actual enemies. A couple from the cryptarc care package things, but they've all turned into crap. Meanwhile everyone else is getting exotic after exotic and loads of legendary gear. Annoying!

Nah it's no where near full. And I think I found the problem, there was NOTHING in the pending members section of the admin tools but there was stuff somewhere else really obscure. Hopefully it has sorted it all out for you guys now...

when you hit lvl 24, your main goal is to grind lvl 24 strikes until you hit the vanguard mark cap each week, then buy legendary armor from the vanguard vendor for your class in the tower.

then when you hit lvl 26, you can theoretically start raiding (if you get a group)

best way to rank up vanguard rep is by competing as many vanguard bounties as you can each day.

if you get bored of grinding vanguard stuff, the crucible is always waiting for you ;D

that thing is beastly in PvP, next to useless in PvE tho.
 
Im just doing the invective exotic quest now. Wanted an auto rifle but none of the quests on offer gave that reward. Not a huge fan of the crucible because everyone else seem to have a rapid fire 300+ dmg autorifle and mine has a slower rate of fire when zoomed in. :/

Edot* glad to hear the Invective is good in pvp. Does it regen ammo in pvp?

Farm public events, much quicker. They give 4 marks each and you can do bounties while you wait for them to spawn.

The bounty that has a circle with a star in the middle gets you to kill 1 target and gives 25 rep rather than 10 so always do these if they appear.
 
Doing the spawn cave earlier and managed to get 3 purple drops, but the Cryptarch decided to turn them all blue :( love being trolled by him lol.

Careful on that spawn cave. 3 of us all 20+ were doing it and there was a whole hive army appeared out of no-where, killed me a few times before I gave up.

Thats the "non event" event that happens sometimes. The enemies get tougher and tougher kinda fun I thought.

Sometimes the other event beacon ship lands on top of you - breaks up the monotony of farming I guess. :P
