Anyone down for the Weekly Heroic Strike on PS4? I'm lvl 25. PSN tag is JxOxHxNxSxOxN

Dat tag tho


The majority of legendaries I get from engrams now get broken down for mats. All I want is the mats to level up my raid and exotic pieces.

It does pain me a bit to know that eventually all these legendary pieces I'm spending time and mats upgrading will themselves be broken down for parts. Don't suppose a level 25's gonna be much use in the raid though lol
 
Sweet leveled up my legendary gloves once. I should easily be able to reach 26 this weekend as I'm at 73 light and assuming that the next level up only gets me 22 all I have to do is find 2 more ascendant shards and I can level it up once more. Hopefully with the regular level up it can give me 3 more light though as I really want to reach level 26 then I have no real need to do anything else as I wait for my friends, so I can play PvP and hope for legendary helmet drop

Just NEVER spend ascendant materials on anything but exotic and raid armor.
You will really hate yourself then.

Don't waste ascendant material unless exotic or raid.
Normal legendaries will be replaced pretty quickly.
 
I'll ask one more time before I go and do some strike playlist with randoms:

Anyone up for the weekly heroic strike? I'm a lvl 20 Hunter so I'm a bit underleveled. That said, I'm up for it if you are.

I don't know how to replace the original in Photobucket or I would have just did that.

FTFY.

Is that mainly due to getting light gear as rewards etc as you play? Only just got my first bit with light on it, so not sure if i want to grind strikes or try some mp.


Mainly from getting light gear as a reward. I heard upgrading armor gets you more light as well, not sure about that.

lol yeah I figured it out since leveling up rares gets you higher and higher, I assumed doing the same for legendaries would do the same.

You make a good point in the not spending ascendant material until exotics. I might get some this weekend with the weekly, but assuming I have enough my final decision to use them or not comes down to whether I can reach level 26 with the regular material upgrade, and if my friends are all waiting for me to reach 26. If my desired exotic isn't here this weekend either I'll probably keep them until my friends are waiting for me anyways.

Can anybody confirm whether it's 23 motes of light to buy the exotic engram from the weekend vendor? Or is it more?

23 motes for an engram. 13 coins for a specific piece.
Last week the engram was chest. I expect it to be different this week.
 
What are Vanguard marks? Is the Vanguard a faction?


Vanguards is a faction. Your class trainer and that robot on the East wing of the tower, near the ship and bike girl sell Vanguard rep gear. Vanguard marks are the currency they accept and you get those from PVE content, like bounties, strikes, and public events. It's the perfect faction for those who don't like PVP so much.

So now I have 2 legendary snipers lol. I continue to get weapons from legendary engrams. I've got a pulse rifle, scout rifle, fusion rifle, machine gun, and 2 snipers. All of which are legendary. Why couldn't Bungie make it so we could trade? :(

You will need them if they are different elements.
Should aim to get a purple or better in every element to tackle high level content.

Funny enough what I want is a Warlock chest, but if I had enough motes last week I wouldn't have bought it. Because sure it's a guarantee exotic chest, but there are like at least 2 chests for each class and I want 1 chest specifically for the Warlock. So that's a maximum 1/8 chance to get what I wanted. And considering the legendary engrams that have given my gear ended up being titan armor, I know what RNGesus thinks of me and I am not risking it lol.


I'll definitely go for if it's a primary weapon exotic engram though. I can go for whatever that drops for me, hopefully an AR or a hand cannon though.
 
The next weekly update should be interesting. Game's been out for a week, problems have been documented, review scores are in. Surely they have to say something about it.

Never thought I'd be so happy to get mats from a legendary engram. Another level on my legendaries booties complete.




EDIT: @Dax- if you're going to hunt marks, do public events. 4 marks per event and they last minutes, and pop up every fifteen. I do Russia for this, but if someone's worked out the schedule for the other planets they'd certainly be more interesting to hang out on at this point.


(Bounties too of course. Wish we could get more than five a day)

I think bounties refresh every 12 hours, but they're the same ones. I know I've been doing all of them twice a day. Once around 5 am and then after 5 pm.
 
Just equip it.

Not quite. If you want to level it up with bounties then yes just equip it right before you turn in bounties. If you want to level it up with normal gameplay, it needs to be used.

Very good to know.

How far into the current Raid have people been picking up Raid gear, do you know?

Didn't the groups that did the raid say they didn't get diddly squat besides shaders? I assume it's not a guarantee you'll get raid gear.
 
Dammit, this game. I felt like I was done with it but it keeps pulling me back.

Anyone need an extra for the weekly heroic? Looking to get some of that strange.

Those stories are just from the final boss kill.
The raid doesn't have the typical final summation like strikes do, so people feel ripped off. Things just pop on the right hand side of your screen the second you hit a major checkpoint.
