Yeah, you're supposed to get them for leveling post 20, but my exp bar is gone and I'm not getting anything.. Wonder if you need to finish the story.

[Greedouw]

Why is my game acting like I haven't beat these story missions before?

Pretty sure Motes of Light come attached to gear. You need to get Rare/Legendary/Exotic crap to get past 20.

1) Does LVL / stats affect PVP? I just did my first crucible match and just got rocked. 2nd to last with a 0.5 K/D ratio. These two LV 20/21 dude would just one shot me with auto-rifles every time they saw me. Could just be that they're very good as well.
2) Basic PVE strat question: For boss fights where there are just a shitload of adds, how the hell do you survive in the main room? Inevitably I end up behind a box, popping out to try to clear random adds, then like 2-3 will run up next to me on my platform and I have to do a frantic knife/doublejump/dash out of the room to charge my shields. For example, I just did Resist the Fallen on hard at LV 6 (rec is LV 6 on hard). I cleared the first set or two alright, but then ~3 of the purple floating orbs spawned and it was just impossible to stay in the room anymore. Ended up going back to the stairs and doing hide and seek until I could run in and kill the rest.

I really feel like shit would be 5x easier in a party; it's really hard to watch your back when aiming gets rid of the radar and thus enemy proximity meter.

Light on armor gives you level ups. Motes of light can be rarely dropped off mobs or rewards from certain quests or strikes. Motes of light are currency for items. So far I have only seen them as currency for items from the speaker. All of the purchasable items are vanity class equip items and some emblems.

I do believe all stats are normalized in PVP. Everyone has 200 hp, all weapons do the same amount of damage.

The difference makers are abilities and enhancements to weapons and items.

I know armor enhancements roll over and certain weapon enhancements roll over. I am not 100% sure but i think weapon enhancements that increase attack power roll over.

Edit: I am still trying to figure out how/why some people can one shot me with shotguns but i always need 2 or more shots to kill with one. Which is why i think weapon enhancements to attack power my be active. idk tho

Level/Stats/Gear doesn't come into play unless you're in the Iron Banner. Then it matters.

[Serra]

Yes, and you can get higher level ones. I've got a level 18 one, and I'm using a level 18 Cydonia.

Edit: and as I write that, I get a rare level 16 Galahad-E that is better in every way.

[Ratatapa]

The Vanguard and Crucible mark can be annoying to farm if you get 2/3 marks per PVP, thats about 50 runs

[Adajer]

stranger's rifle is baddasss, need to try it in pvp, and with full auto mode

[Weltall]

It certainly matters. You get more ammo etc with high level gear enchancements?

I've been trying a hand cannon in PVP and I'm not really that impressed. What the fuck are these people using that is so good?

[Obsidian]

Gonna call bullshit on Triple Play now because I have the film to prove I killed two Hunters, four Warlocks, and a Titan without dying and it still never popped.

Edit: Pretty sure the damage bonuses don't transfer but the ammo upgrades like Clown Magazine definitely do.

In the beta it was 2 for winning, 0 for losing.. Let's not talk about how much crucible I played to get my awesome sparrow..... that Bungie killed... /cry

Also, Galahad has the perk: Single point sling: switch weapons faster, move quicker while aiming. I'm pretty stoked to level this beast.

[Wulfgang]

Can I get a matchmaker party somehow for Devil's Lair? Sorry, but I feel like I can't figure out a lot of basic stuff in this game.
