I am confident pve is the way to go for now. We need to hit up the phat lewts from vault of glass and do the hard mode weekly dungeons for coins. I saw a video of this one exotic gun that dropped which was 3 shotting people through shields in multiplayer. It's time to farm pve and become op

Right so from reading, I think it is practically impossible for us to do VoG without being at least 27 first, and we need 6 of us....
Rumple and I are nearly 26 (probably by tonight) Azaan you are close? Buff is like 28
Burt you and 40 need to get there so we can get amongst it! and Jon (if he finally joins us) where are you?

I'm offline until Thursday afternoon due to exams but I'll be going fucking H.A.M all weekend. I've got no gear. I'm nearly level 21.
New NBA 2K15 comes out on Thursday, I'm getting that on PS3. So fair chance I might not get to Destiny unless one of you hamburgurlars sends me a text message.

A Short Guide on Gear and Light
Once hitting level 20 the path to 30 may seem a bit confusing. You know you need light, but you may not know how much or how to get more. The light progress bar offers some guidance. It tells you how much you have, but not how much you need to get to the next level. The armor you wear tells you the base light stat it carries, but not the maximum amount you can obtain through upgrades (or even inform you that upgrades will increase your light for that matter). Finding this information online can be a bit tedious, and there is little guidance on these matters in game. I have compiled here a short list of what I have learned in order to hopefully explain the very basics of light, levels, and the armor that helps you get there. Light:
You need 21 light to reach level 21 Each additional level requires 11 additional light. The maximum amount of light you can currently obtain is 120, which will bring you to level 30. Level Light To get to level 21 You will need 21 light 22 32 23 43 24 54 25 65 26 76 27 87 28 98 29 109 30 120 source: /u/noz3r0 had a great post that I took a good chunk of this information from Gear:
You only receive light from armor, not weapons. Light on a piece of gear increases as you upgrade its defensive perks. Rare Gear
Rare (blue) gear carries a random amount of light. The best rare gear, once fully upgraded, can carry a maximum of +15 light. Not all rare gear is upgradable to +15 light, some pieces are junk. With a full set (4 pieces) of quality, fully upgraded rare gear the highest level you can achieve is 24 (+60 light). Legendary Vendor Gear
Vendor legendary (purple) gear has a base light of +18. Each fully upgraded vendor piece maxes out at +27. Legendary gear requires materials (relic iron, etc.) alone to upgrade to reach +22 light, which are relatively easy to obtain by farming. /u/bm_nJoi has an excellent farming guide with videos After the first 4 light you add, you will need legendary materials (ascendant shards) to fully upgrade to +27 light, which are much more difficult to come by. With a partially upgraded set of vendor legendary gear (+22 light per piece) the highest level you can achieve is 27 (+88 light). With a set of fully upgraded vendor legendary gear the highest level you can achieve is 28 (+108 light). ADVICE! Do some research on which legendary pieces you choose to max out. You can achieve level 27 without spending all your legendary materials or 28 by wasting them all. These take a while to save up. Once you get a piece of gear that will take you higher in level, you will drop back down in level as you level the new piece anyway. You don’t want to waste them on a piece of gear you will replace in a week. You are better off saving them for your raid gear or exotics!
Thanks /u/CameronCrazy01 and /u/BeePage for pointing out I cant do basic math! Legendary Raid/Exotic Gear
Legendary raid drops and exotic (yellow) gear carry a maximum light of +30 once fully upgraded. You may only equip one exotic piece of armor and one exotic weapon at a time. With a set of fully upgraded raid/exotic gear the highest level you can achieve is 30 (120 light). /u/BHynes92 made a good point here: "The max level you can achieve without raid gear is 29 at 111 Light." ... "That's 3 pieces of standard Legendary armor and one Exotic." /u/p3ndu1um
"If you fully upgrade 1 exotic armor piece and upgrade one of your legendary armor pieces twice you will reach 28. Don't bother upgrading anything else until you get raid gear." This is a pretty good compromise which puts you in good shape to stay right at that level 28 border as soon as you start raiding. More on Gear:
The statistics and perks on vendor gear are static. You are able to find drops of the same gear vendors sell elsewhere in the game. These items may carry different perks than those that the vendors sell. You do not need any reputation to find these rewards. You receive better drops as your level/light grow higher (so get that light up!). Once achieving rank 3 with a faction you will receive 1 or 2 legendary items. You will also receive this gift for each additional rank you obtain. /u/ontherx pointed out that you may in fact recieve engrams as supposed to items. Still a nice perk though. Xur sells exotic weapons and armor for strange coin, as well as exotic engrams for motes of light from Friday to Sunday every week. Take advantage of this.

Azaan and I had a crack at the raid last night, really not too difficult to manage at lvl 27, its simply a matter of knowing and executing a series of fight mechanics.
It is however, quite time consuming, but I think we could defintely crush it as a group and put it on farm mode.

Look lads, it seems to be just Rumple and Myself still flying the flag here! We need to get amongst it!
The upcoming Trial of Osiris is a pvp event that will allow us to get to 30, but we will need to not zuck cawks! Also we need strange coins to get into the event so don't blow them!

They are charging xbox one players the same DLC price as PS4 players but with less content due to "exclusives". That is simply not right and illogical. wrote:

So we were trying to play the Destinyo raid and buff was obviously less than enthused with the fireteam talent and probably more our less than professional approach to the raid, telling stories, laughing and joking, I was holding my Mic to my ass and ripping enormous farts through comms. So we started fucking up a bit on the last hurdle with the Oracles. He was getting super chippy at everyone, calling me a shitcunt, arguing with rumple about the patch, I was last man standing so instead of jumping off the edge I kept shooting for 10 seconds, wgich caught his ire, had an argument with aza about what defines an mmo, just super chippy at everyone.

Haha that was legitimately one of the funniest things ive seen in gaming, defs top 10.
We all stayed on top and the ring in goes flying down the bobottom, realises, stops and turns to look as us before gallantly trying to pick up the pieces.
