Don't think I've even done the exclusive strikes since I pretty much only do strikes for weeklies. ;3 We did it together... it's the one with the Black garden and the stairs and the eff ton of Minotaurs

I'm not so sure about that. The only time I remember doing anything in the Black Garden was doing the Black Garden story mission as a daily on my Hunter.

Can't believe that we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars, I definitely did not want it. I guess the best course of action would be to take out their command one by one. Let's start with Valus Ta'aurc. He's well protected, so I'll look into assembling the right team, so that we can punch through those defenses and melee this beast right in the goddamn gooch.

I mentioned this before, but as a reminder... Valus has a nice cheese spot. You still can get hurt from there, so becareful
This is also a good video, becuase I didn't know you could move off there and still stay up

Run 1: Legendary engram that decrypted to 2 Ascendant Shards. Yes, a Nightfall reward should give the same as a daily story mission. /s Run 2: Mida Multi-tool. I was after this since I have the dancing boots for Hunter now. Run 3: Helm of Saint-14. I already have two of these.

Run 3: Helm of Saint-14. I already have two of these. I'd trade my spare ones if I could. It would be nice if the RNG system would not give something you have previously earned before, although my previous two were from the Cryptarch when I gambled on exotic engrams. Save up your Motes and spend them on a helmet engram.

I have been saving/spending all My motes for the last two months but nothing yet. Have not even rerolled a single iron banner weapon. Random will be random I suppose.

Yesterday morning, I did the Gorgon's Chest, Deathsinger, and Crota (normal) twice each. I received nothing but materials and a third Hunger of Crota. Another guy in the party did the same drops, plus an extra Gorgon's Chest, and received 5 exotic weapons. Even if I received 5 No Land Beyonds out of 7 drops, I'd be psyched.

Or you could be like bradman, who did his first VOG normal raid and got The Last Word... the best PVP exotic handcannon in the game. I'm on Hawk's side: I wouldn't mind those drops if not just for the free exotic shards

Another guy in the party did the same drops, plus an extra Gorgon's Chest, and received 5 exotic weapons. Even if I received 5 No Land Beyonds out of 7 drops, I'd be psyched. Not complaining for all of them but I already had two Helm of Saint 14s prior to this week's Nightfall while a friend I have is still after one himself. So it's kind of annoying for him seeing I get one on the screen while he got some crud Dead Orbit bullet hose AR (forget the name). If we had trading, I'd have given him a spare Helm of Saint-14 and my spare Suros Regime. But the Ascendant Materials/Legendary engram as a Nightfall reward is annoying. If it was around the 20 Ascendant Materials for a Nightfall reward I wouldn't mind. It seems a bit silly for it to be the same as most of the Daily Story missions can be done in fewer than 10 minutes. If they increased the Strange Coin award for Nightfall to reflect the usual difficulty increase compared to the Weekly Heroic then why not Ascendant Materials? I wasn't being sarcastic with the MIDA though. I was asked by a friend in Nightfall before the first run what I was after and the MIDA was one I specified. I might have to adapt to the MIDA in the Crucible due to the relative high health and high mobility when tracking targets so it gives something interesting other than spamming auto rifles. Missing my MK14 from MW3.

An engram is a lottery ticket, sometimes you get something nice, sometimes you don't. Doesn't mean it is equal to the worst thing you can get out of it...
By that logic you should immediately throw any lottery ticket in the trash the moment you get them

An engram is a lottery ticket, you barely ever get something nice, mostly of the time you don't. FTFY.

Ran the Nightfall twice last night. Did a new strategy for the first time, not sure if everyone already knows to do this, so I'll share - when you reach Valus, when he comes out drop a bubble with Weapons of Light on the other end of the room. Hit him with all of your rockets, use a heavy ammo synthesis, hit him with all of those rockets, then run to your cheese spot. With three people, you take down a majority of his damage.

Regarding NF drops: For the past a few weeks, I am consistently getting the following from the 3 runs every week: 1) One run will give me an exotic something; 2) One run will give me a legendary something; 3) One run will give me coins / ascendant materials; So the drops are pretty decent. The main issue is that the exotic is never what I want, so they are just exotic shards to me. The good news is that almost every week I hear somebody getting Gjallarhorn, so there is still hope

I'd be happy with that. I'm generally getting one Legendary, one Coins, and then a steaming pile of ascendant shards.
