Jimbob Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I was trying to get on last night for a few PVP matches, but alas my internet decided it didn't want to give me 35mbps speeds but chose to give me (and i don't kid) 56k!!!. Just to check my email for something took 15 minutes, so even remotely trying to get online was going to be a joke. Hopefully it's sorted tonight for a session. I'm hoping to finish the Moon tonight, anyone want to give me a hand?
Hero-of-Time Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I've played 1 day, 6 hours and 40 minutes. I've killed 9,328 enemies. I can see why you're frustrated. What level is your Cryptarch? Also, can't you buy Legendary items from the three cults? Also with Vanguard and Cruicible points? I think he's level 8 at the moment. Yeah, just need to get some more Vanguard points then I can grab one. Knowing my luck I'll buy the armour and then find it in a drop.
Daft Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Don't forget Zür on the weekend!! All that Strange Coin.
Sheikah Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Aye strange coin for exotic armour and weapons. Also motes of light to buy an exotic engram from him too. Faction gear is basically looking like the way to go now, I've got enough marks to afford 2 pieces (still need to be the right rank though, will take ages...). Last night I got my first legendary piece (from a blue), a helmet for a warlock. Lawl. Not a hunter drop, but at least something. Meanwhile, @Zell deciphered his first legendary engram and got the legendary sniper rifle. Not jealous at all.
Daft Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 So what can you actually spend Motes of Light on? The Speaker - who sells aesthetic useless crap. And you can buy Exotic Engrams from Zur? I have 9 Motes of Light. I have no idea what to do with them. I've got 12 Strange Coins, too.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Don't forget Zür on the weekend!! All that Strange Coin. How many strange coins does it cost per piece? I may finally setup remote play on my Vita tonight. Gonna have a crack at playing this on the little handheld while I'm only lunch break.
drahkon Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 So what can you actually spend Motes of Light on? The Speaker - who sells aesthetic useless crap. And you can buy Exotic Engrams from Zur? The latter is probably the most useful thing you can do. Costs 23 Motes of Light, though (at least last week). Strange Coins should also be spent on Exotic stuff from Zur.

Gonna have a crack at playing this on the little handheld while I'm only lunch break. 13 coins for an exotic armour piece, 23 for an exotic weapon. Dat armour. Hope there's something for me there. Any L23/24 fancy helping me do heroic weekly strike later for 3 coins? Earth last week was so much easier than the moon.

Gonna have a crack at playing this on the little handheld while I'm only lunch break. What these two said. Do you definitely get an Exotic or is it like a normal engram where it could be anything? I'll probably end up with something for the other two classes. :|

I'm up for having another crack at it. It butchered us last night though. It's the onslaught of wizards that do the damage.

Last night I got my first legendary piece (from a blue), a helmet for a warlock. Lawl. Not a hunter drop, but at least something. Meanwhile, @Zell deciphered his first legendary engram and got the legendary sniper rifle. Not jealous at all. Not sure what all the fuss is about! One legendary engram, one legendary weapon. 100% success rate! We had a good session last night. S.C.G, Sheikah and I attempted the Heroic Strike, but got our arses handed to us. It became very apparent that we were severely underleveled, myself in particular. I kept getting killed in one hit by the Wizards and the Knights with the swords. We'l try again at the end of the week when we've all leveled up a bit. Finished the night with some good Crucible matches. I think my favourite is the 3 on 3 skirmish playlist, seems to be the only playlist where you can properly co-ordinate a team strategy. Unfortunately I had my first disconnection during one of the Control matches and had to call it a night then and there. I'll be on tonight again for more fun and games.

I've heard that you can get rare materials for upgrading legendaries/exotics, too.
Daft Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I'm going to hold you to that. :P I'm up for having another crack at it. It butchered us last night though. It's the onslaught of wizards that do the damage. Yeah, that last bit is brutal. Level 22 Strike? Yeah, whatever, I'm level 24, my Fireteam lvl 25 and 23 - that last room is a slaughter.
James Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 What does it mean when there is an event thing on the left hand side of the map. There seems to be four slots but the only one available to me is a PvP multiplayer option. Its no different from the normal PvP multiplayer... Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I'm not sure, but I think it's the PvP mode with all the item stats enabled.
Shorty Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 They're timed events with different rewards, and the weekly raids don't have Matchmaking.
Sheikah Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I should be on in 20 mins or so. @Hero\-of\-Time @lostmario @drahkon, anyone up for some heroic weekly strike down on the moon?
Hero-of-Time Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I should be on in 20 mins or so. @Hero\-of\-Time @lostmario @drahkon, anyone up for some heroic weekly strike down on the moon? Watching the British bake off at the moment.

Will probably be on as soon as the Champions League match is over. If my mate isn't online, I'll definitely join you : peace:
Sheikah Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Cool, well if anyone wants to clan up at 9PM (after bake off) then feel free to join me.
lostmario Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I'll be back on around 9, just updating the mario kart league groups for tomorrow
Magnus Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 It feels so presumptuous to ask strangers to join your fire team, so I just played most of the campaign on my own. Sometimes I'd run into people who were around my level and appeared to be playing the same mission as me, and I'd be, like, "yay, friends", but then we'd go through a door and they'd dissipate into thin air for no apparent reason. I can see how you'd get more out of the game if you were into all the multiplayer stuff, but as someone who was just playing this for the campaign, I was very underwhelmed. I guess I was expecting this game to have varied missions? Or at least a story to speak of. Joke's on me, I suppose. But I can't complain too much since I was buying a PS4 anyway, so Destiny essentially cost me £1.5. :p
Daft Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Cool, well if anyone wants to clan up at 9PM (after bake off) then feel free to join me. Sorry, was watching Bake Off, too. And then didn't check the thread. I got an exotic bounty. First step was complete five strikes without dying - DONE. Next was get a 25 K/D spread in the Crucible - DONE (in three matches). Last is complete the weekly event... BALLS. That last room is so fucking hard.

My mate and I did the weekly Strike. It was tough, very tough, but we made it. It felt so fucking satisfying. Especially since it was only us two. : peace: This is what makes Destiny great. After that weekly challenge, it isn't over, though...nothing really difficult but time consuming (it will be for me, at least). :p Sorry @Sheikah but my mate and I were owning the Crucible and some Strikes. I really need to do stuff with you guys, soon.
Sheikah Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Oh lord. Just found out the first group to complete the vault of glass were this seriously pro clan, yet it took them 10 hours and their team had 1605 deaths.
