I've almost got my Titan up to where he needs to be.
Which character would guys recommend I start next please?

The Hunter gets a lot of slack lately but I am a huge fan of the dodge & auto reload perk. You can also get a 6 shot GG perk too.. I'm a big fan!

Warlock is an all rounder - Nothing too special IMO

This raid is just underwhelming in every way. Just no desire to even run it.

Just wait til we get Curse of Osiris and the new raid content is just a new room.

I'll rank up a Hunter and Warlock for you just pm me your PSN and bank account details.
Seriously though, the natural order of things is Titan, Warlock and then Hunter.

Wanted the DO hunter helmet, scout rifle, hand cannon and auto rifle from faction rallies. Given my experience last time I expected frustration.

Out of my first 6 packages....

Helmet check.
Scout check.
Other scout check
Hand cannon check.
Auto rifle check.

Boom. Done with faction rallies for the season. :-D

9 x Faction Tokens per minute - Every minute till Bungie patch it!!

Head to to European Dead Zone and Load into The Winding Cove section of the map.

Head into the lost sector and clear it out. Collect loot from the crate (3 x tokens). Just above you, the exit door will open, head out and make your way up the corridor.. once you see the new sector name appear on the bottom left of your screen, turn around and head back into the lost sector room.

As you approach the door, it will open for you allowing you to re-enter and open the lost sector crate again.

Exit, rinse and repeat.

Once you get into a flow, you can get in and get out 3 times a minute = 9 tokens.

I expect this to be patched soon so make hay!!!

My name is URL

That sounds like even less fun than farming public events tbh

Can't see Dead Orbit winning this time round. Thought they tried everything last time giving NM the nicest gear, FWC the best guns and DO nothing. This time they've upped the ante given NM an awesome looking sword, FWC a real snazzy Fusion and Dead Orbit a f***ing Grenade Launcher, it even looks s**te

The faction token farm on EDZ is a busy spot, constantly lads spawning in as your running back and forth. A tad boring but chatting away in a group you don't see the time fly.

440 tokens later have my full fwc set, not bad at all.

where is this? and how long did it take for that many tokens?

If it is still up on the weekend I'll probably kill some time there, but i'll probably try to actually play the game if I get on tonight/tomorrow. Some PvP, Nightfall, Raid etc.

Its a great farming method but I'm not that pushed about any of the rewards at this point. If one of the factions starts dropping 300 gear (for infusion) that could change my mind a bit.

Have the NM scout, auto, shotgun and smg. Not bothered about their armor for any class. (all from last rally)
Have the FWC Auto, Scout (I think) and Hand Cannon. Again, don't want their armor. Want the pulse though. (all from last rally)
Have the DO Auto, Scout, Scout, Hand Cannon, Auto, and Hunter Helmet. Not bothered about anything else. (all from this rally, 6 packages last night).

500 hundred per hour or something like that if you want to sink that time into it.

Its in the winding cove (EDZ), there is a lost sector there called the weep ?

Basically finish that, jump above the loot box open the door and move into the next section. Turn around head back and the door will re-open and you can open the loot box again.

Here's a vid for it

reddit are saying 9 tokens a minute , did a run there this morning for around 40mins, stopped at around 500, as I'll get the rest doing power engram stuff.

The limit of 30 packages is still in place, and I believe aswell that tokens don't carry over

Up early today soloing the Drang quest. Got the exotic but carried onto the boss. Had him down to maybe 5-10% and he knocked me off the edge. Went into work seriously annoyed. Work hasn't improved my mood.

thankfully you only need to kill the servitor in that strike which is solo-able. Finishing that boss solo in the end part is a right pain in the neck.

I must go back and try this again. Connection issues were awful the last time I tried.

Started using some different weapons last few days, hrof kinetic smg with 2 counterbalance mods is ****ing unreasonably effective at close to medium range, reminds me of last word in a strange kind of way.

Lincoln Green is the same mid to far, melts Mida users.

Nice shout I have about 607 of them in the vault as well so will give it a run.

Halfdan-D I'm finding is a reasonable alternative to Origin Story, bit slower firing but serious range on it and slightly higher damage.
