Did the daily heroic story mission today for my daily ascendant meterials. I got a legendary engram at the end and whisked my way over to the tower as quick as I could. I opened it and............ exotic hand cannon "the last word" !!!!

My luck is changing with engrams I think. Ive got a few legendary engrams this last week. Only got Legendary warlock armor in the last 3 which is good but I don't have a warlock yet.
 
@Clark is going to hate your guts, and to be honest... so do I. :lol:

Although my one true sought after exotic HC is Hawkmoon.

@bevo is it cool if I add you? I'm definitely up for doing a raid but probably can't do it that early tomorrow night. Add me to the list of raid virgins looking to break their vault of glass cherry.

Yea go for it. Anyone in here is more than welcome. I've got a decent sized list of people who want to do the raid. If you can't do it with me I can give you other decent people to do it with. I just send invites to the first people I see in that night for the raid. It'll probably take us two nights to beat it depending on how well we do.

I havnt really bothered with the HC's much until now so I looked on youtube for opinions/reviews on it and it seems to be highly regarded as one of the best HCs so I'll give it a fair go and level it up. Will be hard not having my exotic slot spent on the icebreaker though. :) looking at the upgrade page It fires full auto (character fans the hammer) and has the perfect balance perk. The special ability of where it gets its name basically rewards you for hipfiring by making the hipfire more accurate and it has a higher headshot/crit damage while firing from the hip. It also has a awesome spin animation when the weapon is drawn. Pretty happy with it for my first exotic weapon that wasn't bought from Xur :)

Its a good looker to, Just not as pretty as that hawkmoon :)

Yeah, that's cool if it doesn't work out. I have a few guys that I've been doing weekly and dailys with but haven't been able to raid with yet. Always looking to have a few more to get more opportunities.

Thanks for the add. @mcfizzle, I forgot to add you yesterday!

Completed my first nightfall weekly yesterday with @ryanaldoblanco got a legendary scout rifle out of it, was hoping for more but hey.

Really need shards as my armour needs to be upgraded.

Sent a psn request @bevo as I'm still looking to do the raids too,seems to be enough of us here to maybe give it a go?

I did it last night and just got a blue engram which gave me... a mote of light. :irked:

I think I'm starting to hate you. :D
 
I recieved two legendary engrams back-to-back about two or three weeks ago.



I haven't seen a purple engram since then.

Don't worry, I've had my fair share of bad luck with engrams to :)
It has been looking up recently though.
Even got my first legendary engram through levelling the chryptarch to lvl 15 the other day. :)
 
Leveled the cryptarch up last night and got a legendary engram that turned into an exotic helmet. To bad I'm a warlock and it was for a hunter. At first I thought it was for a titan and got excited. I started a titan a few days ago and have him to a level 14. My luck with the cryptarch has been so weird that I've got a full set of titan legendary armor and now have 2 pieces of legendary hunter armor and an exotic hunter helmet sitting in the vault. Once my titan hits 20 he will fly through the light ranks.

I have not yet gotten a piece of legendary armor through anything other than buying it for my warlock. Hopefully this week I'll get lucky and finally get some raid gear. I've been through it twice now and only gotten ascendant materials.
 
As a Hunter I got quite alot if legendary titan gear and a exotic helmet, I was keeping but then decided to dismantle it.

I enjoy mention as hunter and when project cars comes out my destiny time will be cut back massively so 1 characteristics finebfor me

I didn't think I would ever make another character. I've dismantled several titan and hunter legendary items already. I finally got to the punt where u didn't need any more ascendant materials so I started saving things and now I've got a pretty good collection. I started the titan because I've maxed my warlock and run out of things to do with him by Wednesday night usually.

I'm not sure which game will finally get me away from destiny. Pcars is alright but I've had it for almost 2 years I think and never really liked it that well. I've tried to get into it several times and it just never could get me interested.

Tried that earlier but kept on failing after the second wave so I ended up giving up. Maybe when I level up my vanguard rank to unlock legendary armour I might have better luck.

I've not had a single purple engram since playing the game. All blue. To be fare my total play time is only 46 hours since the game came out.

I've only had 2 legendary engrams in 55 hours. I purchased the legendary armor that I have and did get a exotic chest armor from last week's Nightfall, however. My legendary packages all break down to rare stuff which is a huge letdown.
 
Working for ascendant shards to get to level 29 .. i am at 102 light..

Did the Weekly Nightfall this morning with clan mates, and I got 10 ascendant energy as my reward - awesome but not what I was after.

Oh well.. back to farming for marks to buy legendary gear to dismantle. At least I got Future War Cult to rank 2 now to make it easier.

Edit - I got my exotic helmet from Xur (exotic engram from 23 motes, lucky) and the rest of my legendary armor I bought with marks. My legendary weapons are from Vanguard or Cryptark rank up rewards I have got 4 purple weapons - getting to Vanguard rank 5 and Cryptark rank 12 Except for my Rocket launcher that I actually got from a purple drop while farming Venus. Other weapons are Exotics from exotic weapon bounties.

86+ hours of game time - 48+ doing patrol / pve bounties alone.. so my way is not the quick way that is for sure.

Has anybody done the weekly heroic strike? If so, would it be hard to solo at level 25?
 
At around 10 est 3 of us are going to be looking for people to do the raid with. If anyone wants in just let me know and send me a friend request. If we get high enough level players were gonna try it in hard if not we will do it on normal

I'd be more than happy to join but I'd only be able to hang around for an hour before having to write up this week's Seasonal Events piece for GT6. I'd be back right after but I'd have to leave for about 15 minutes or so. :crazy:
 
Solos Nightfall, gets 10 strange coins.

Damn you, RNG. Although you did give me Monte Carlo last week so I probably shouldn't push my luck. :lol:
 
I'll be on this evening if anybody is up for helping me with nightfall and heroic etc.

Wink wink nudge nudge @Terronium-12
 
I'm game. Let's get @Blitz24 in it as well so we can point at him and things.

Make him feel... pointed at.
 
I will be on from 6pm BST, I've done the nightfall and weekly twice already, its a doodle, just need to know the safe spots.

@Terronium-12 @Clark if you need another.
 
Think my good luck has come to a halt. Leveled my vanguard to level 5 and got...............One ascendant energy. :(

This is exactly what is killing the game for me. LUCK. Having to rely 100% on luck to get the items necessary for leveling up just plain sucks. I haven't played this since Saturday and just have no desire to play. Hopefully something changes with Destiny in the near future.
 
Finally got the Hunter up to 20, and had 2 rares and an exotic helmet from engrams on the Warlock

Went to 24 instantly :lol:

Wait.

Level 5? I thought it stopped at lvl3 as that's the highest level of gear they stock?

I got to level 3 then worked on my FWC rank which I got to lvl3 last night (got a helmet/energy and mote of light I think) I've now moved to Dead Orbit.....

I only planned to get to lvl 3 on all the factions, what do you get for going higher?

I'm not sure it ever stops. My vanguard rank is an 8 and my crucible a 5.

Every rank gives you a legendary, either from the faction's pool or ascendant materials, I don't think you can get strange coins or motes of light though (at least not in place of a legendary piece of gear, I hope), you may have gotten one from the XP you get for opening the gift? Also the Crucible factions give you guns that you can't actually buy from them, I think it was @Terronium-12 (?) who got a New Monarchy (?) hand cannon (?) and I got a FWC fusion rifle. I think that might mean that all five factions have a full set of 12 weapons, but only the Vanguard and Crucible quartermasters actually stock them all.

Like, from the Vanguard I've had a legendary scout rifle and machine gun as well as a cloak, from FWC I got the fusion rifle and from New Monarchy it was the Vanquisher VIII auto rifle.

In my opinion the best thing to do is rank all of the factions up to the third then focus on the ones with the small inventories since you can buy weapons from the other two. Actually, Vanguard is the worst one to work on because of the fact that you can only have 200 Vanguard marks in your inventory at a time, so you'll end up having to buy things to spend the marks since you can't spend them elsewhere! Actually, the whole thing with marks - as it stands, this may change - seems really shortsighted anyway. Once you get to a point where you have a full set of legendary armour and enough legendary weapons you don't actually need to buy anything with marks any more, but then they do become a source of guaranteed ascendant materials so I guess that's good.

I agree - I was thinking they should start selling ascendant shards for 25 marks each and ascendant energy, for more maybe 50 since weapons are 150 marks, from any of the faction vendors once you reach rank 2 or 3.. that way you can use Vangaurd or Cruicible marks to get them.. or risk spending 65 marks to buy armor to see if it will give you 3 or just 2.

Seems odd to have to buy armor to break it down to level up.. maybe it was planned that way.
