I've got the Grim Citizen. I don't have that sweet looking chest armor though.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I have that chest armor, but I don't have a Hunter to equip it on.

Speaking of, finally got my 2nd character (Titan) to level 20. I had 3 pieces of Titan legendary armor in my vault. As soon as I reached 20, I equipped it and instantly shot up to 24. I'm sure the Hunter will be even better since he has the exotic waiting.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Had some interesting runs with 19K and a friend from GAF last night. Basically, they were dragging me through higher level stuff, but all I really ended up with were some strange coins and some other materials.

Earlier yesterday, a few of us did some Queen's runs, and I got her ship, so I guess that's cool. I should be able to buy the last legendary I need for full legendary armor...2 pieces from the Queen and 2 from the Vanguard. I'm only short one Vanguard Mark.

Still not loving the game, but it's probably going to be a decent time sink between Warframe updates.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Hey, I was getting dragged along with you. That was some boring ass shit.

But it was definitely profitable. I earned 17 strange coins in about 3 hours. That guy definitely knew how to cheat the system.

I didn't get on earlier because of some movie I wanted to see but I need to run the Queens Wrath again tonight if possible with my Titan. He needs a Helmet. I did get in with two doing Bloom Farming on Venus and then did the weekly and daily. even with them at 26 and 27 (I'm at 24) that Nexus one was a pain. We had two Defender Titans where we just kept putting up the dome between us and the wave of enemies.

For real. If the only realistic way to beat a level in your game is to cheese it, then your game is fundamentally broken IMO. I didn't get nearly as many strange coins as you (ended up with 6 and some ascendent shards?), but yeah, it was worthwhile to be sure.

@ Buzz, will probably catch you on tonight. But I do have a new Nyx Prime that I need to take out for a drive, so we'll see. I've decided to abandon my second character. Leveling one character in this game is painful enough.

I'll probably make a point to grab a few vanguard marks tonight, and I need some helium to upgrade my scout rifle (got the same legendary that Buzz did).

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Does anyone know where I can get Spinmetal? I've seen a couple pieces in Old Russia but that's it. Anywhere else I should be looking?

It's only on Earth AFAIK.

I find that methodically hitting all of the little caves on earth is a good source of spinmetal and glimmer.

Thanks. So basically, if I can only find one or two pieces I just goto Orbit and reload to find more? Sigh. Thanks again.

Thanks man. Most appreciated. I'm new to this whole "farming" idea and I've been stuck at 24 for a week.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Haven't tried farming spinmetal yet but The Ember Caves are the best place on Venus to get spirit bloom and the Scablands are the best place on Mars to get relic iron.

Both are the first places you come to after the patrol spawn point.

On Venus you can either go left or right from that point. Left(north) takes you to the Ember Caves and right takes you to the Shattered Coast.

On Mars you go right over land instead of going left through that giant crashed ship.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

So i farmed for about an hour and a half today at the Rocketyard and not only did I only get 5 rare engrams, they all turned into rare or below with no "light" attribute.

So i basically got nothing for my time except some spare parts. I understand farming but its annoying when its required to get to level 26 which is basically the minimum level for a lot of the additional stuff beyond the main story missions.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

In the next patch, when you turn in an engram you'll be guaranteed an item of the same rarity or better.

On Venus I like to farm where the vex and fallen are having their war(by the crashed ship) Lots of spirit bloom, lots of chests and lots of enemy's to shoot

The game won't let me connect with a buddy on a fireteam. These server issues need to get fixed. Fucking bullshit.

Trying to grind to get my Crucible max for the week. It's not terribly fun. I feel a lot of Halo 2/3 matches were better.

Is your friend a real gamer? If so maybe that's why it won't let the two of you connect.
