This game needs more a more consistent loot ramp. Without the queen's wrath event me and my friends would've been stuck at light level 21-22 spending forever just trying to run level 24 strikes with no special modifiers, until we either did the fucking zillion runs needed to get to Vanguard Rep 2 or lucked out and got good shit from engrams.
With each of us having those two so-so pieces we've hit 25-26 and we can pretty consistently do everything but Nightfall strikes because lol, why would you ever want to do Nightfall.

I really dislike that controller light; you can't even disable it, all you can do is dim it.
The whole controler starts glowing like a flash light when you pop your flash light in game is cute for the first few seconds and then its annoying because I have to tilt my controller down so I don't blind myself with reflected screen glare from it. Also why can't I pop out my flashlight whenever I want to there are some areas that are really dark that I would love to trip off the ghost light thing.

So they fixed the Cryptkeeper and giving appropriate colored gear for colored engrams... and now legendary engrams have all but disappeared from the game. How fitting.

They haven't disappeared (I've gotten two, miraculously), but yeah, they seem more rare. But honestly, this was the appropriate solution. I don't think there was a problem before with there being too little legendary gear (although I think it was definitely appropriate to add it as potential rewards for high-level strikes, which they did), but rather a really, really terrible messaging problem. That said, you can still pick up a legendary engram and realize it's a goddamn class item. Which has no stats, and the "legendary" ones often don't even look great. Fucking class items.

Oh I think this was the best avenue to take - I've just noticed purple drops have all but dried up in general.

Got two legendary engrams yesterday, one, a legendary weapon turned into three ascendant shards (which I needed for amor upgrades anyway, so not totally mad) and one for a class emblem.

I still need shards so I'm OK with that for now. I have enough monies that I could get a exotic weapon this weekend, except I'll be in WDW. I'm expecting a text that there is a scout rifle available, and that it won't come around again for many, many weeks.

Been stuck on Green chest pieces since hitting 20 last week. Finally get a blue chest engram this weekend - Mote of Light Unfortunately I didn't notice the Queen's envoy early enough in the event, so I haven't done enough of her bounties to be able to get rank three before the event ends - so no purchasable loot from her. Can't do the Heroic missions because I'm playing solo, and solo 24 heroics at level 21 or 22 are just So yea, I'm pretty much stuck on 22 until I get legendary drop, or manage to crawl my way to Vanguard 2. I think it's 5000 rep points for Van 2 and the highest amount I can get from a single activity is 100. (maybe 150 from the once a day events) I'm about 1500 away now I think. Any way I can translate Motes of Light in to a Legendary? The Speaker seems to just sell vanity items.

You don't need to purchase anything, just run a bounty and then do a kill order, I've got Queen's gear coming out of my ass at this point.

Bounties are the answer to most of your woes. Pick ones that work together so you complete them faster; visit Cryptarch and equip things/subclass which you want to level before you turn in to Bounty Bot.
Once your rep is high enough, and you have enough Vanguard marks (strike playlist and world events), buy armor from your class vendor.
Playing solo is going to be pretty hard to do. I'm lv27 and I (probably) could not solo a lv26 event. Even if I could, it would take forever.

It may be my lack of talent, or perhaps my level 22 gear, but the Heroic Kill missions are impossible for me solo. Last time I tried I didn't even make it to the no respawn zone. And that event ends tonight. I'm working on buying Legendary gear from the class vendor, it's just taking forever to get the rep up. At 50 - 100 per bounty, that's roughly 65 bounty missions to get to the minimum tier to buy Legendary Gear. I'm about 70% of the way there.

You can also get 10 or 25 from patrol missions while you bang out those bounties.
Slim chance of something useful in the mail from getting Gold on one public event per day, depending on what you consider useful.

I've gotten few legendary materials from the publics, but don't have anything to use them on.

I genuinely had to check the names to make sure someone hadn't recorded me playing somehow and turned it into a gif, because I did that exact. same. thing. Just yesterday, in fact.

He triggered his "Death From Above" special which, if executed right, should have killed everyone on the platform. Instead, he mistimed it and rocketed into the side of the platform and bonked into the river below.

I like that he was still willing to post that.
Is there friendly fire in PvP? I know my own grenades hurt me, even in PvE, but I'm hoping not other people...

I got recruited into a raid last night because I was hanging out around the vault of glass shooting the Vex that guarded the gate after seeing the crew that was trying it fail miserably. Just as we get the gate open, some random level 10 rushes in and loots the first chest. Ballsy little fucker.

I'm at the point now where I'm doing the raid twice on two different characters. Send help.
Sadly, at a certain point, you're waiting at the mercy of RNG to bless you with gear that will help you hit light level 30, but there's no purpose to hitting light level 30, so it's not the end of the world.
Looking forward to see how stupid Iron Banner is gonna be, though. Suros Regimes and Vex Mythoclasts everywhere.

Not a coincidence. If I knew what the hell you were talking about, and where it was, you're goddamn right I would have looted it!

This is true. I got mine right off the bat. Heisenboggs if you want to add me. Edited to add: So, a day into Iron Banner, the tears of the broshooter hardcores flow like waters of the Nile. "I can't pwn the noobs like is my right as a console catass!" "Nerf special abilities in IB!" Then there's the min/maxers who see they're not going to win a match and quit before it ends to look for another match. Sadly, there's no penalty for leaving, so it happens. Even when they've still got a chance of winning. If it's not a blowout, they bail. Asshats.

It doesn't happen as much in straight crucible as it does in IB.
That said, I was on a team that stuck it out last night and came back to win in the last five seconds. It was awesome.

Yup seems like if my team gets behind next time I look we have like 3 people left on my team as all the others bailed looking for another matchup so I am just stuck getting punted around outnumbered 3 to 1

Yeah, it's amazing how much of a difference it made to not reward people at all for not winning. I saw almost zero bailing before IB, now it happens every match. Oopsie, Bungie.
Edit: Also, in "wow, i didn't see this coming" news, my girlfriend hit level 24 on her Warlock last night. She's never played an FPS game before in her life (honestly, I'm astounded she persevered long enough to grasp the controls... shit is complicated in FPS games if you haven't been playing them all your life). It's amazing how much of a draw it is to see that you can dance with random people on the internet. She LOVES the public events (she calls them "socials").
