Destiny - 9/9/14 (PS3/PS4/X360/XB1)

[Wulfgang]

Thanks for that vid, Wulf. Can't imagine doing the templar without it.

Yeah, np. I camp Reddit a lot and there's some great stuff posted there.

Another solid farming vid that I prefer to the Dark Beyond one because you don't die and I think they're easier to kill:

We quit on the boss for level 28 but everyone should be a level higher tonight, we 25,26,26. If anyone has a strat or good hiding spot to pick off adds please tell!

Phogoth right? Check this out.

It's the moon strike right?

Regarding events:

There are two spawns on earth that you can pretty much set your watch to, and thats the Mothyards (Warsat/enemy/crew) X:00 and X:30 and the Divide (walker) X:10-15 X:40-45.

There are four other spawns that are hit or miss, the Steppes (Warsat/enemy/crew) X:15-:25 and X:45-55 forgotten coast (Warsat/enemy/crew) X:35-40 and Skywatch (Warsat/enemy/crew) X:00-:05

X:00 Mothyards: I start my loop at the Mothyards a couple minutes before :00 sometimes this one comes a minute or two early or a minute or two late but it always shows up. if you kill this one early enough you can make it to the skywatch for the X:00-05 event if not then you can move on to the divide for the walker

X:10 Divide: You want to get to around X:10 or so if you can, the walker unusually doesn't show up until X:15 but sometimes hes early.

X:15-25 Steppes: Here you want to hang around the steppes, sometimes an event will show up sometimes it wont, its really hit or miss if no event shows up by X:27 head over to the mothyards.

X:30 Mothyards: As before this one is sometimes a a minute or two late/early but it always shows up. when are done with this you to need to head to the forgotten coast as quickly as you can.

X:36 Forgotten coast: this one usually spawns right at :X36 its been late once or twice but if its not out before X:39 its not coming and you need to hurry on to the divide either by orbiting and coming back or really fast on sparrow.

X:40-45 Divide: This is the walker again its pretty simple after you are done head to the Steppes like before as quickly as you can

X:45-55 Steppes: This is the last one, ive seen this one only a couple of times it rarely spawns, but i have seen it.

About the story:

Spoiler: show

It really feels that Bungie wanted to have a "complete" single player campaign while having the MMO story updates, and as a result, it feels incredibly rushed. Are we going to get more? Definitely. There are still two factions missing and I'm inclined to believe they'll be located out of the Reef. I think a large part of the problem though comes down to the worlds. For those of you who played FFXI (or really any MMO), how long do you spend in the first few areas? Hours? Days? It took me months to make it to Xarcabard and see my first Demon enemy. Destiny, you can finish the story in a day, see all the worlds, and encounter all the enemy types.

Edit: was just looking for that link to post..

If you've got the money I'd go with Astro 40. You have to buy the adapter for the controller to use it though but imo it's well worth it. I absolutely love it. Also I'll add you on xbl when I get back from the library. I plan on attempting the raid soon, just need a few more people.

[Weltall]

I want a team for the level 26 Weekly tonight if anyone wants to join!

[Serra]

Final raid boss:


Saturday needs to be here now! Just kidding.. I need time to level >.>;

[Krandor]

I'm sure I'll be on Welt, gonna be grinding public events and strikes for Exotic most of the night.

XP Seven, Astro A40 or A50 work nicely. Go with the XP Seven if you want a headset that works for everything (PS3, 360, PS4, Xbox One, PC, phones). Just keep in mind that it's wired. Otherwise, Astro A40 and A50 are solid investments and are wireless.

Still not a single legendary / exo

The rep grind is the worst; I tried to do patrol spam but just got tired of it. Protip, try to grab the ones with the circle and star logo; they are the targeted mob strikes and worth 2.5x the rep (25 total) of a normal patrol. I slacked off on my bounties big time in the first week and really regret it now obviously. Also, True Detective show spam has not helped; great series though.

I'm game for a level 26 Weekly Strike. Going to be working on the bounty for Thorn most of the day.

[Skidz]

Anyone here do the last step for the Thorn hand gun exotic bounty? I tried it with a group of 26's and we couldn't even get to the boss; all the wizards resisted our solar weapons and were hard as hell to take down.

[Ratatapa]

still stuck at 24 not finding better gear

[ringthree]

psn ringthree if anyone cares.

Use one of the glimmer or rare item farm methods to level up your Cryptarc.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I actually found an easier way to solo Phogoth. You don't even need to kill other enemies. Its not the fastest but damn does it make it easy.

The first room you're in before the boss fight, if you stay there Hidden Swarm enemies will constantly spawn but if you go 10 feet into the previous room(and hide beside a wall) for about 5 seconds, the enemies will respawn. You can run to the door, empty a clip into Phogoth, run back.

Ammo isn't an issue because if you get below 50 on your regular gun, the game completely fills your ammo reserves

Can throw Grenades or use Supers aswell.

We did this with a 25, 25, and a 26.

We had a bit of trouble on the 4 wizards spawning all at once in the waves part. We would pull them out into the hall. And eventually someone would die and when they respawned in the room some would go back into the room. The other two people would try to kill one wizard as they were flying away towards the recently revived person. Lots of dying and respawning.

For the boss: I sat behind a rock in the far left where no enemies could hit me. The other two stayed as far away from the boss to keep him chained up while they focused on adds. After first round was dead they freed the boss and then focused adds down one at a time while I did nothing. (Just sitting there letting them respawn over and over again). Eventually exotic bounty dude showed up. Named wizard.

Anyone want to try the last part of the Thorn bounty with me on PS4?

[Cail]

Just got a purple head off of a blue engram! Then got a purple engram from leveling up crpytarch and got 2 motes of light lol

[Obsidian]

All my purples except my Scout Rifle have come from blues (two heads, hands, and a Hand Cannon). All my purples have given me blues except one body which came out as a Hunter body.

[Akiyama]

I'm like.. an inch from level 25 but would love to do the 26 Weekly. :<
