Any chance I could get any advice from anyone?

Heres my situation:
Im level 26 and a bit (82 light)

Iv got Rare Gauntlets but the rest of my armour is Legendary
All weapons are only rares

13 Strange coins
Vanguard Rep Rank only 2
Crucible Rep Rank 0

I either want to spend my strange coins on Exotic Gauntlets whenever Xur has them (for titan)
and il grind my vanguard rank and marks until I can buy a Legendary primary weapon.

Or I can buy Legendary Gauntlets now, and save my Strange Coins until I can afford an Exotic Primary (2 weeks if I do the lvl26 weekly strikes)

Basically, which do you think is more beneficial, Exotic Armour or Weapon??

I don’t get to play as much as id like and don’t want to waste my precious strange coins

Thats nearly exactly the same position as me. I really need gauntlets to progress further in rank.

are the servers down? i can't log in. pretty stupid time to do maintenance.

not if your in the US. Its during the day there.

Buy the weapons/armour super cheap (10 or so crucible marks) then split them down to get energies/shards

how does the iron banner gear work exactly??

if you can buy legendaries for 10 crucible marks, ima be rich with shards!!1!

(makes up for missing the 2 day queen bounties bonanza)

Still down here, damn it! Is anyone else online?

Still waiting here. Finished tea and want to crack on before the missus is home!

Looks like it could be down for a while.

 

[ShakeNBake]

this is literally the worst possible time for them to do maintenance.

weekly reset, new event etc.

WTF?!?

Depends on where in the world you are really. This is early morning across the pond I think.

surely they could've been a bit more accurate than "Several Hours". I want to max vanguard marks on strikes before getting back to raids with mates.

as soon as you have hit lvl 26, getting a 300 atk primary weapon is your #1 priority.
your armor sounds like it is way ahead of your weapons.
still, you could probably get away with buying the exotic gauntlets and then buying a vanguard weapon with rank 3 + 150 marks. that way you get more choice over what type of weapon you get.
there's no guarantee Xur is going to have a good primary weapon for sale any time soon.

Thanks for that!
Makes a lot of sense, iv not changed weapon in aaaaaaaages!
Not too comfortable with the idea of committing my time into strange coins for Xur to show up with nothing good. Plus I'm going to want to upgrade my secondary and heavy soon too.
Vanguard rank seems the sensible option

Il get grinding those patrols

Thats nearly exactly the same position as me. I really need gauntlets to progress further in rank.

Probably sounds really sad but iv spent the entire day at work considering my options, and still couldn't figure it out

 

[metamorphpwner]

Back working???? I can get back into bungie site now

Servers are up

if anything, they need to stop letting strikes scale to the number of players, and just have them tuned for 3 people regardless of how many are playing.

Yeah, I've said this before. Team play should always be encouraged, at the moment its not.
To be honest I would also like it if some loot is set. For example each time you complete the vault of glass you get one piece of raid armour, no more, no less. But that doesn't mean you wont get the same piece 3 weeks in a row

yup, armor drop rate from VoG has been an absolute joke for me so far,

I have 3 x 300 atk weapons, so fully maxed, but can't progress to VoG hard mode due to my light level and 0 raid armor drops. QQ.

Where do I go to get the banner so I get rep for the new pvp mode?

from bounty guy in tower, go up stairs behind him, and he's to the right

my PSN is totally boned, is anyone else's working??

Aetheon's Rifle (Void Auto) is far far too powerful when Void Burn is on. Was able to solo the heroic 28 and nightfall with my 28 hunter this morning. Ridiculous!

Wish I could claim skill but that weapon was tearing through the enemy. The non-upgraded Aetheon was hitting for about the same as my fully upgraded Suros, but firing about 3 times faster. Axis Minotaurs with their Void shield were down in seconds.

Cant wait to try this, iv got this thing maxed out but i didnt think id really use it anywhere but raid, now looking forward to smashing weekly and nightfall this week ha

I have the bounty for killing 50 Guardians in iron banner while using their emblem and shader, but it doesn't seem to be building up. Also do you only get rep for winning?
