Sorry guys, have to be up for work in the morning, don't think we had a chance on that anyway :lol:

Was that a level 22 one? Feck me I'm under geared, was dying so easy.

Yeah, it was solid. Thanks for the help you both @afrocentricity

At least the daily one was done in the end. Tried a few times to do it myself but that last stage we were at was tough.
 
FFS I'm getting trolled in my quest for some decent legendary items. Finally got a beautiful legendary helmet and it turns out to be for fecking Warlocks!? What am I meant to do with it?

If only there was a way to pass it on, I'd take it off your hands for sure. What model is it? If you plan to create a warlock at any point in future, you can keep it in vault for then.

It's a "NERIGAL SAVANT III". I do have a low level Warlock but I'm not sure I can be bothered to put the time into another character. Would be great if we could trade items.
 
Just completed the moon strike with 2 as one dropped out. Granted, we were level 19, but it was tough!

I just beat the boss on the Venus strike and didn't get the bounty for it :(

Did you do the Nexus strike? There's two different strikes on Venus.

Got a Exotic fusion rifle and two legendary pieces of armour after finishing one crucible match before :drool:
 
What's the best way to level? Crucible, story missions, patrol? I'm having fun with the game, but I feel like (crucible aside) I never really know what I'm doing or why I'm doing it.

Also, the story is terrible. Missions are still fun (especially with mates) but good lord is the narrative stupid. "Find this thing, have Ghost scan it, kill some stuff. Congrats, you've aided our cause against the Fallen. Or the...whatever the other guys are called. Or the Darkness, which may or may not be the same thing".

Don't know about post-level 20, but I always keep an eye out for easy bounties each time I log on. Kill 100 or melee 30 without dying, X number of precision kills, etc. Also, kill 10 hive or fallen Majors or Ultras can be farmed easily on Moon Patrol.
 
It's a real shame they didn't make a good story to go along with it. The settings are all there, the bad guys IMO all look good and the tower could be like the place in mass effect if they had a load of dialogue and perhaps different side missions

Yes it was Nexus. Should have looked at the boss name tbh, don't even know if it was the right one. Level 20 now! Trying to finish the story and grind like feck before Fifa next week.

Blues = "Rare" armour. The best consistant gear you can get from drops. The purple "legendaries" you get from good luck or from spending vanguard and crucible marks from doing that content

At level 20 you no longer level up from exp. Instead for every level you would have got from the exp, you get a "mote of light" which can be spent at The Speaker or the Agent of the Nine vendor that comes on Fridays

Instead you have to get armour drops or spend marks on gear with +light on it. At a certain amount of light you are awarded level 21, 22, etc up to 28 I believe is the max so far.

But the level is based on that armour you are wearing. If you take off the armour with +15 light or whatever, that took you to "level 21" then you'll be level 20 again. So the idea is to get better armour and upgrade it.

I believe this is probably so that people can start playing later on and they can catch up. They'll have to level to 20, but in 3 months they'll probably have added easier ways to get gear or new gear that you can get to catch you up on light. That way the game will feel more accessible to people who werent playing from the start

Thanks for that. So really level 20 is like the current level cap and then after that armour and such gives you level boosts while your wearing it really.

That's true. As it stands there's only really the shitty patrols and bounties which are dull as feck.
 
OK im retarded, i have looked online as to what to do after reaching 20. It makes no sense

What the feck is light and orbs and shit?

I still need to complete the game and do some strikes, so I want to make sure I am still levelling up. What is the first thing I should do?

Now you've got to focus on armour, rare and legendaries have light which you want, the more the merrier. If you can gain enough strange coins and vanguard/crucible rep you can buy legendary/exotic gear!
 
I have a couple of strange coins, but the game doesnt tell me what they are for

How do I get my vanguard rank up?

By completing the vanguard bounties. It's a lot tougher to level up when you hit 20 but you just have to keep leveling up your gear and finding better gear to progress.
 
You'll start getting gear drops with +light on it... 2/5/8/etc... that's what you want from now on, the more light you have the higher your level post 20... /laymans
 
Had some bounties today which worked very well together:
- the collect 200 things from the Cosmodrome
- complete 6 patrols at the Cosmodrome
- earn 9000 experience without dying
- kill 10 Hive/Fallen ultra

I managed to kill all four birds with one stone, and then while I was walking around the Cosmodrome I saw two people constantly shooting fallen that was repeatedly spawning in a cave. Did that for a bit and got four blues. Nothing special in them but upgraded my cryptarch a bit.

And while I was there, one of those public events spawned where you have to stand in an area until it goes to 100 while shooting the fallen that spawns. Easy to do solo but even easier with the three of us.

I should be able to buy two legendaries with vanguard marks I've got tomorrow, but I'll plan it around whatever Xur has got. I've only got 9 coins, but plan is to upgrade two armour then have a go at the weekly strike after that when I'm hopefully stronger, and get just enough coins before Xur disappears. Will be close though.
