    Good stuff. Definitely happy about a new strike playlist. Hopefully they upped the vanguard rep earned. It's kind of foolish that you only get 25 rep for a Tiger strike, especially now that Vanguard rep will be so important.

      I'm glad you guys still enjoy this game. I haven't played in about 3 weeks and don't miss it at all. Too much grinding for crappy payoff got real old real fast.

        Ah yes, I forgot about the exotic chances because I've never gotten one myself. I guess that's useful. Also energies and shards, although those are less valuable now that exotics and (at least new) raid gear won't use them.

        More vanguard rep would only be useful, I think, if they decide to up the cap of 200. Needing commendations to get gear anymore, you're probably going to max out your rep before you can actually buy anything. At least that's my understanding.

          I'll be around and in an empty house today if anyone wants to sherpa a noob through HM raid.

              Re: Destiny

              There no max on rep, the cap is on marks, but yeah we are going to hit that cap quick with the new strike level. I'm still really not sure what the point of the vanguard commendation, marks are still the limiting factor, why introduce another limit?

                Yeah, I still have one more shot at the mythoclast this week, probably wind up with chatterwhite, another sparrow, and another ship for a completely fruitless result.

                  Yep, my bad. So many currencies I can't even keep them straight. So more rep is good, more marks doesn't really matter unless they adjust the fairly low cap on them.

                    so people keep playing. I am fairly certain they did that to expand the game's life with players who are skilled enough to rip through the raid. The stories are good enough for a one-time playthrough. Honestly, if it weren't for the "Kill xxx" bounties I'd never play the stories ever again because they're garbage.

                    If Bungie makes it harder for players to earn the new DLC legendary weapons, players will keep playing. It is complete bull****.

                      Re: Destiny

                      The vanguard commendation is a pointless limit though, marks are still the limiting factor. Although, I guess if you were smart you could save up 200 marks, giving you 300 marks the first week, up to 900 if using 3 alts which would give you full gear and just about every weapon the first week, that's why they did that.

                      Hopefully they don't keep adding currencies with the next expansion, currency bloat has ruined lots of free to play games. We already have (lifted from reddit):

                      Glimmer
                      Weapon Parts
                      Hadronic Essence
                      Sapphire Wire
                      Plasteel Plating
                      Spin Metal
                      Spirit Bloom
                      Helium Filiments
                      Relic Iron
                      Vanguard Rep
                      Crucible Rep
                      Future War Cult Rep
                      Dead Orbit Rep
                      New Monarchy Rep
                      Cryptarch Rep
                      Eris Rep
                      Vanguard Marks
                      Crucible Marks
                      Vanguard Commendations
                      Crucible Commendations
                      Ascendant Shards
                      Ascendant Energies
                      Radiant Shards
                      Radiant Energies
                      Strange Coins
                      Exotic Shards

                      Hopefully they don't keep figuring we have too many of a currencies built up and introduce new ones. It's annoying that they basically created a surplus of ascendant materials because they made them the main raid drop, then because we had too many of those we end up with a bunch of new currencies to take their place. They are "talking" about increasing vault space, they are going to have to and soon, with all these currencies, not to mention new ships, shaders, etc also clogging that one vault category.

                        So all legendary gear is still upgraded with ascendant shards/energy right?

                          Legendaries from vendors and vog: ascendant materials

                          Exotics: exotic shards

                          Crota's end raid legendaries: radiant materials

                          Radiant materials might also be for the gear you can get from eris, the new vendor for the dark below stuff.

                            It won't even let me play this right now on PS4. When I hover over the application, it shows the countdown timer below it (to when the DLC is out since I pre-ordered it), and when I try to open the game, it just takes me to the timer.

                            Anyone have this issue?

                              Anyone curious as to the future use of motes?

                              They have been giving them out in greater frequency, but took away their best use, exotic engrams.

                              I heard a rumor that the cryptarch might start selling exotic engrams.

                                I'm away from my PS4, but that sounds bad.

                                Did you get the digital guardian edition?
