    Bought some an exotic armor engram from xur.

    Cryptarch made it into a different class.

      Worse or better? If worse then very frustrating. It seems the cryptarch downgrades what you think the engrams should come out as.

        I mean he made it for a class that I am not, so I can't use it :/

          I don't think the exotic engrams work like the other engrams - you're always guaranteed an exotic item, but not always guaranteed an item for your class. If you discard an exotic item you'll get Ascendant Shards which can be used to upgrade existing legendary and exotic armour. Judging but the start light level for exotic armour, I suspect that the only way to get to level 30 is to have exotic helmet, guantlets, chest armour, and leg armour.

            That is not possible. You can only carry one exotic armor and one exotic firearm. But its true that its always an exotic when you decrypt.

            Yeah well I traded in 23 motes for an Exotic engram that turned into a Titan thing and I am a hunter. Its the third Titan item I got. For my hunter I run with Lucky Raspberry. And a legendary Fusion Rifle. I'm very close to Vanguard Level 2 and maxed out the 100 score for this week so I I have to push a bit further and I can buy legendaries to fill out the rest. Good thing I'm late to the party with luck, because I have loads of mats ready for upgrade. Also a reasonable bit of Shards.

              Ah yes, I forgot about the exotic firearm/armour equip limit. One thing that's very clear though once you get to level 26 - it's going to be one hell of a grind to go from 26 to 30, mostly because of the rarity of ascendant materials required to upgrade legendary/exotic armour. Definitely won't be making the mistake of buying any more exotic engrams, that's for sure.

                Since you can carry one, I see that as a plus. No real need to buy a second. My exotic armor suits my playstyle, ie. Fusion rifle ammo buff and arc bolt grenade buff. I use both. Upgrading it to the max doesnt seem that painful. I am just sort of blind towards Relic Iron. And Shards I usually get from a Public Event run, which I find fun and is not that hard.

                  I did the 23 motes of light for an exotic engram swap as well and got a lovely piece of Titan Chest Armour. Yeah I'm a Warlock. Sounds like the odds on you actually getting something for your main are very slim. I think I'm on around 16-18 legendary engrams now and only one of them has gone on to decrypt as a legendary item

                  I've just started using the subclass and I'm amazed how much more powerful it is over the voidwalker class, Once I level up I can throw six solar grenades in the space of around 15 seconds if I've got a full radiance meter.

                  Voidwalker novabomb - 2600 damage
                  vs
                  Sunsinger solar grenades x6 - around 10,000+ damage

                    RNG is something odd. I did a Mars patrol for a bounty, found one Legendary engram. I did a PE too.

                    Went back, got Ascendant Energy. Engram converted into Legendary armor... for my class! Delivered the bounty, whoops, Exotic bounty unlocked.

                      Awesome. Partner servies are no longer available. Your game is now worthless bits on your harddrive. At least let me play single player on my own bungie ffs.

                        yep, something on the server has packed up, was in the middle of a strike and the script refused to open the door after dinkbot opened it. Exited out and matchmaking for pve and pvp are down.

                          Considering the game is online only, the servers are way too flaky :/ I'm on fibre with pings everyone would want and several fireteam disconnects a night are not unusual.

                            Dicks from Lizard Squad claim responsibility.

                            Anyway, you CAN hit level 30 I read. Its only possible with Raid gear.

                              So how's that work then hitting level 30, I thought it was only 2 legendary items only?

                                Something odd happened earlier - I replayed a Venus story mission with the difficulty set to hard (24). On the difficulty select screen, it listed the rewards you get - "Ascendant Materials". Great, I thought, this is what you need to upgrade legendary/exotic weapons/armour. However, after completing the mission, rewards are no longer being displayed on any of the difficulty select screens, regardless of story/planet. Surely it's not limited to 1 a day/week?
