I've used the Court to inch my light upwards quite a lot. Even soloing Tier 2 ones if I'm feeling cocky. I got a 299 ghost when I was low 290's which was a welcome boost to my vanguard purchased one. I would have been 295/6 whilst in the Court when I got the 299 shotgun. Don't know for sure if your level light matters when they drop, but it certainly feels like it.

Wish that worked for me with Ghosts. Every time I've done court I end up with either no ghost, or a 260 odd one. I still find it really bizarre how I dont seem to get any ghost shells above 286.

Gonna be buying a few arm engrams hoping for some 310's to infuse into my Titan's Immolation Fists.

Edit: All Titans who get an exotic chest engram and think they're just gonna get another Alpha Lupi might want to take a look at this:

There's a few exotics that are quite rare at the moment, this and the two others for Titans (Thagonizers and Dune Marchers), as well as 6 more for the other 2 classes (Transversive Steps, Astrocyte Verse and Ophidian Aspect for Warlocks, and Shinobu's Vow, ATS/8 Tarantella and Fr0st-EE5 for Hunters) are very rare sights to see on players, if they are ever seen at all (a few of these may not even be available yet, its completely unknown).

Keep some blue upgraded scouts, fusions (warlock) HC, snipes (hunter) and shotgun, auto rifle (titan).

For sleeper simulant, you need a purple heavy apparently. Dismantling blues didn't cut it.

Just getting jipped by rng. Got a raid ghost at 300, shared it around. Artifacts held me back for longer.

Game is telling us to go raid.

Haven't been that lucky with drops there so far. What light level was your character when you did court?

Like I said, I've done a lot (filled up the postmaster more than once) and most still come out as 260-280. It has been a slow grind upwards from 290. I have a bunch of runes, including T3 ones & you are always welcome to join me for a session (Kyuss too).

What level were you at when you were getting those kind of drops?

I'm stuck at 293. I make sure I'm at max level when I decrypt the engrams but does it make a difference what level you are running when the engrams drop?

I'm in the same boat everything I decode is 265 must have put a hundred engrams through the cryptarch with my level 293. Bloody ghost is holding me back massively.

You don't actualy need to dismantle 10 - you just need to get 10 weapon parts from dismantling them. I did it by dismantling 2 of my old levelled up legendary scout rifles, easy peasy :)

As for the 50 shards (I'm guessing you mean the hadium flake things), you can either patrol the mausoleum on the dreadnaught as chests seem to respawn fairly sharpish there or have a roll of the RNG and level up Eris by doing tonnes of Court of Oryx. Occasionally Eris gives out stacks of 10+ flakes in her reward packages.

Thanks Fin and Berties. Dismantled Vision of Confluence. That was a shit scout anyway :P

Done Tlaloc now. Unimpressed by it thus far but I guess it needs leveling to unlock exotic perk.

The flake thing is going to take me ages!

Also it cant just be me not getting purples in cryptarch packages right? I got a few on the first day of the TTK launch, but since then I've had none, and I'm rank 108 with the cryptarch!

I've not had one yet and I'm desperate for Vallsgarde.

You're not. I often just get 5 motes and coins.

right... did 50 flakes in about an hour something..... now to find missing fragments.... why must they hide gear under all this bollocks! i wish I could understand. I think the sleeper quest was actually fun and not that grindy. this is nonsense.

Its not that bad. I have 2 exotic swords sorted and it was far less hassle than I thought it would be.

To be fair getting only 1 flake per chest is a bit stingy though, especially when the chests give bugger all else as well apart from some glimmer :S

Edit: Cool glitch that allows you to throw arc discs with the two non-Bolt Caster exotic swords:

Rank 108? That's a shit load of engrams.

I looked in the shader terminal yesterday and noticed that the shader for finishing The Old Hunger or Hunger Pangs (I forgot which) is not obtainable. Obviously bugged, had a look on Bungie's forum and they know it is too. Bit irritating, as I have emblems and shaders missing anyway from the 2 terminals.

The other thing I noticed, which I guess was unlocked when I got some raid armour, is that when you get all 4 parts (helm, arms, chest and legs) it unlocks the Bone Marrow shader in the terminal (I still need chest and helm). Colour matches the raid weapons, so white and dark red.

why must it have grinding? there's enough good content there. what's the benefit of having you run 20 patrol missions and 10 runes in the court and 10 crota raid (which you have already done 100 times to get a sniper which is now irrelevant). I guess I just don't see what's gained from that. they have reached a better balance with nearly anything. the addition of flakes seems incomprehensible to me.

if I've already beaten the hardest thing in the game at the moment. just let me have the fucking gun! or create something else more challenging and put it after that. make me do the raid 2 or 3 times. but not 10! I just don't understand that design choice. seems to me by now they know it's not needed but lack the confidence to change their minds.

let people have the guns and trust that the game is good enough that they'll keep playing. that's the confidence I mean.

TTK is great - you wouldn't know looking this thread though. Cheer up a bit - go on. I dare you :P

You know, the only gripe I have with this expansion is the bloody ghost drops. Other than that I've enjoyed it far more than the base game (apart from VoG) and the 2 dlc's combined.

I enjoyed the quest for ToM because it promoted exploration, which the game badly needed. I would go as far to say I want more quests like ToM, as I love exploring for any new stuff. Its a shame there isn't more like that in game (The ghosts and gold chests were cool, but there needs to be more).

Luke Smith acknowledged that they weren't dropping with any of the sort of frequency that they were supposed to, but after the chest at the doorway giving everyone in the raid a ghost last night, I'm wondering if they've stealth hot-fixed it.
