Also it seems IB gear is just regular Legendary gear with the ability to hit 30 Light. I'll still want a complete raid gear set because for example raid boots give Heavy Ammo whereas the IB boots are just auto or scout right ammo for example.

Still, getting to 30 is infinitely more important.

Thank you IB.

yeah but DLC raid right around the corner. If you buying dlc, you will get to L30 easy with just one raid piece surely if you're already L29.

 

[Hunter-Zero]

Yep, both sides are using their best weapons and it's mainly Suros, TLW, Mythoclast and maybe some other wide variety of weapons I didn't recognize. But with a good team, it's not an issue and if you're higher level than some dudes, you can survive. No normalization crap.

Disappointed I haven't seen any low level 20 guys. I've only seen 26+. Hope they show up tonight. I wanna crush them!

I played maybe 10 matches this morning, and the lowest rank player i saw was a 28, maybe a few 30s, and almost everyone 29... the thirst for those gauntlets is very real lol.

 

[jred2k]

How will a fully maxed VoC hold up in the IB? I'd like to use it, but I think I'll be much better off just using SUROS.

 

[LiK]

A couple questions:

1) Should I use ascendent materials to upgrade my vendor bought legendary armor past the second defense upgrade?

2) At level 25 should I even bother with Iron Banner? I don't have any legendary or exotic weapons at this point.

You can try IB and see how you do. It's not totally bad for people at your level. Even if you're not killing as much, you can help capture points and let the higher level guys do the dirty work.

 

[squidhands]

question to people in the know:

If I buy the expansion pass for the PS3 and upgrade to the PS4 later, that will carry over, correct?

 

[Victory Red]

Definitely a difference this time around, second game 2.4kd and stomped the other team. Medallion idea makes this so much better, no one quit from the other team too. Going to play some Dragon Age, then jumping back on this tonight.

Also I didn't notice any camping that's out of the ordinary, but I've only played 2 matches so far.

I'll roll with you tonight.

 

[rNilla]

What? Easiest nightfall and weekly ever.

Devil walker dead in under one minute.
Sepkis prime dead in 90 secs.

Yup, except everything kills me instantly. I think I'm just impatient this morning. Didn't have much trouble with this Strike last time it was Nightfall.

yes, as long as you buy it before january 15th

 

[MisterAnderson]

Of course every single IB Titan gear has Intelligence on it...amazing variety there, Bungie. So using my 110 intellect raid helmet, 120 intellect Alpha Lupi chest piece along with the IB gauntlets and Legs is going to probably bring my intellect in the mid 300's. -_-

Sweet, looks like I'm getting the expansion pass. Thanks!

Now you're super smart!

For those who don't go on Reddit, take warning.

DO NOT BUY THE IRON BANNER BUFF TODAY!!!! It instantly activates. It is not a consumable, you know, like every other fucking thing in this game. No warning, just instantly turns on. It is unknown if we only get to buy one this entire week, or maybe one a day. Either way, lots of people bought it this morning, then went to work, and their possibly one time 12 hour buff just ticked away. The buff also gets stronger as the week progresses. So, sometime on the weekend is a good time to use it if we only get one.

I'm pretty sure it's just once. I think it's supposed to be more effective the longer in the week you wait to activate it. I'm planning on popping it friday night and grinding.

 

[Diablohead]

What does the IB buff thing do?

It's a one use, 12 hour buff to honor points earned in the IB, the description makes it sound like it's daily though.

Oh, didn't even know about that. I didn't check his stock this morning. Guess I'll do it Friday night.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try then and see how it goes.

 

[Deku Tree]

I haven't tried it since they're on my lvl 26 Hunter. But I assume they're perfectly fine if you maxed them.

Oh yeah both of mine have 300 attack.

 

[Mupod]

I'm pretty sure it's just once. I think it's supposed to be more effective the longer in the week you wait to activate it. I'm planning on popping it friday night and grinding.

I can play 12 hours straight on Sunday if I want, so that's what I'm doing.

Really hoping to get the nightfall and maybe even the normal raid done tonight. Once again I'll be relying on the generosity of GAF for help, but I'll be somewhat less useless this week. Plus I have Fireborn now!

 

[Johan Liebert]

Pretty good hard raid. Got Corrective Measure, Atheons Epilogue and finally the goddamn Vex Mythoclast all of which I was missing.

Time to delete this alt and make a Titan.

 

[noomi]

- log in this morning
- head to tower
- random invite
- come help with nightfall
- ok
- 3 of us get all the way to the end
- 2 guys die
- leader says let me leave and come back so I can respawn
- takes us all out to orbit

fuck you man, just.. fuck you.

 

[Nodnol]

Fully upgraded VoC or fully upgraded Suros for IB?

Always preferred Suros in standard Crucible.

 

[Frenden]

I'm tempted to keep re-rolling my second Lash. So much fun. The gunsmith should do this. Great mote sink.

 

[Rubenov]

but but but I thought we were raiding later... wait unless you have alts

3 alts

Edit: 2 alts 1 primary

 

[DjRalford]

Maybe I'm just being careless but this Nightfall seems ridiculous.

Yeah. Don't help that 75% of enemies weapons are arc damage.

You have a timer that pops up and tells you it's happening for like ten seconds. Why didn't you tell him to stop?

A reason to use the gunsmith? That's not Bungie logic you're thinking with.

You didn't shout "stop! stop!" during the ten second countdown to going to orbit on your screen?

*delete from friends list* amirite?

Wasn't it a random tower invite?

Oh, I thought he meant random invite from friend. I ignore all tower invites.

 

[Midas]

Oh, I thought he meant random invite from friend. I ignore all tower invites.

Seems like a good idea. I did however not do that in the beginning, and met some great players who I still raid with on a weekly basis. It's not all bad...

 

[Auto_aim1]

Got the gloves for my alt. So my Hunter and Warlock are at level 30 now. Just need to get Titan to level 30 and I'm gonna do Iron Banner for that.

 

[Hawkian]

Yep, seems like the special reload increase is glitched and not applying anymore. Unfortunately, there is not enough noise being made for Bungie to notice =/

Hmmm, that's not good.

 

[Messiek]

Any level 30 wanna join us for nightfall? Psn Messiek

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Anyone up for nightfall? Im also doen for normal raid.

Psn: Router_Go_Vroom

I will be ready in about 5 minutes

 

[Kor of Memory]

Logged in briefly for some bounties this morning. Saw someone on a new sparrow with flames, doing tricks on the dunes.

is that from IB?

Game plan for tonight.

-Get home
-Beat NF twice
-play Iron banner
-distribute Iron Teabags

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Yeah was a good run! Pretty smooth too.

I get the timepiece and VoC.

Really wanted VoC so that's good but would've killed for the helmet or chest or the Vex.

I think so...or was that only on twitter. Lol I'll check it out and add you.

 

[NastyBook]

Anybody looking to run the Nightfall?

PSN: GibbShift

ArcBurn two weeks in a row? Where the fuck is Solar? Would tear through this NF if that were the case.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Can't really complain this week. Got patience and time from the raid and universal remote from the nightfall.

I can join you in a minute. I need to do it on my other 30 warlock. PSN is Darknyss

I'm at the 3rd wave in nightfall if anyone wants to join.

Cool. Got you and another. Switching to my Titan, then we can do this.

 

[commish]

got fatebringer, i am content now

I pretty much stopped playing the game once I got fatebringer, haha. I felt like I did all I needed to do.

 

[E92 M3]

Hmmm, that's not good.

Yeah check it out. My first realization came when the PR was reloading considerably slower.

 

[Abusive_Red]

After almost 50 raids with two alts and not one level 30, this is where I'm at with it:

[MisterAnderson]

Question about farming glimmer: Does the difficulty of the level you are attempting to farm increase glimmer amounts per kill when using Wax Idols/Ether Seeds/etc.? If so, is it the same amount of bonus across all of the "Hard" modifiers? Or does each tier of difficulty provide more Glimmer bonuses?

 

[ocean]

ArcBurn two weeks in a row? Where the fuck is Solar? Would tear through this NF if that were the case.

That's exactly the problem. Every burn, void burn, no burn, arc burn, arc burn. They know giving us solar is just a recipe for 4 minute speed runs. VoC + Ice Breaker or Gjallarhorn would just eat things.
