I can bring the L29 titan. has maxed weapons (pri/heavy). I have that ice sniper but not yet maxed. I've done multiple normal clears. On hard mode I am usually the last dude standing. Can only recall one Atheon HM clear but that was before random teleport and new glitches
May I join you? Psn: lunlunqq

Edit: I am terrible at posting sometimes
I can help with any flawless attempts if people are trying to do them now.
I was hoping that was your first HM when I saw it pop up, congrats!

Thanks a lot DrDrizzay.
I'm not going to touch that mars strike for a month now.
FUCK YEAH HAWKMOON!

Have fun tearing up crucible lol. Hawkmoon is so fun.
Was out grabbing dinner and I saw a Gamestop. Made a tactical decision, and bought the Destiny Expansion Pass for $35. Note that at least in Florida apparently, no tax on PS4 codes but yes tax on Xbox One codes
If you've been listening to me rant and rave about this game from the beginning you'll know I originally wasn't planning to buy the DLC right away if at all, since $20 is *quite* steep for mere content/items. I'm not big on paid DLC as a life-extender in the first place honestly. I figured I'd wait for some kind of sale or price drop. Really what convinced me was having a static raid group with 5 others who all said they'd be buying it so that we could stick together and keep the group going with the new raid. I can't wait for that.
But I went ahead and thought about it and broke it down and I'm pretty comfortable with $35 for the two releases. This is where I'm putting the value:
Had already pre-ordered it, mi amigo. I'm hoping to hit the next raid from the ground floor with you guys. Can't wait.
Still need to level the Horn...
And Patience and Time...
And want to do that Pocket Infinity bounty...
And still need an Ice Breaker

I am definitely up for that. Level 29 with maxed weapons and experienced with the hard raid. Ps4 Ditters1
Well since it only takes 1 hour for a normal clear- I find I have time for 3 clears on Normal and time for 1 HM raid attempt.
I'm going to "wait and see" what you guys think about the DLC. The old Halo-Bungie made all the DLCs well worth the money.
I do admit however that DLC does have a lot of content now to think of it. I mean, the Halo DLCs I remember probably only included maps. However, for free, they kept adding lots of new game types (I think).
I suspect the new raid will make it worth the money like you were getting at though.
I have you added already, if you still have space. Have to finish it up on my level 29 Warlock. Nearly fully upgraded IB, maxed everything else.
Haha

I'm down, psn babyghost853
0 to 0 don't expect it in the slightest
Hot damm, the last word once upgraded is a beast, kills feel epic, then switching to hawkmoon to kill further enemies is ohh soo satisfying and everyone knows the sound of it ringing through the field. Then switching up to thorn to have fun with few rounds lol. Damm loving these handcannons. Im just having trouble finding the right secondar though.

Not a chance, Bungie has shown to be extremely rigid on any type of fast leveling. The system is set. That being said, some type of "double XP" weekend event could be fun. Maybe bounties give double rep for a day or something.

ATHEON HARD. PS4.
TONIGHT AT 8PM PACIFIC.
Looking for 4 more to pound Atheon into dust. Lvl 30s or 29s with maxed weapons preferred. Message me on PSN: MrChowderClam

Iron Banner is supposed to bring us to Light 30 for sure but who knows when it will go live. I joked awhile back it would probably be a week before DLC. Going to be pissed if I was right. I hope not though

Hawk, I've got a handcannon question for you. I got a Venation III as a dead orbit rank up. It's got nearly identical stats to my vender TDYK, but an 8 round mag. With it's perks, I can go with send it, keeping it identical to the TDYK except a slightly slower reload, or I can go with perfect balance, which makes it almost twice as stable as TDYK, but not nearly as good range. Also has a perk where aiming increases its effective range. Is this weapon worth leveling up? I haven't heard any talk about it, but I kind of like it. I've been leveling it up since I haven't had any legendary primary to throw my XP into. Is range or stability more important for handcannons?
Let's keep going in story. You need a better weapon drop
You going to keep the Titan?

Congrats! Extremely jelly!
I like it. it's got great action and looks cool. unlike thorn, and like other good low mag hand cannons, it's got a quick as hell reload. you can get some good results with it but the perks are important, what does yours have?
LolGah, wife just came home. Gonna have to bail on the raid for now.
Sent you a FR.

Rangefinder and third eye (using knucklehead, but i'm sure i'll eventually have different builds). Can choose between send it or perfect balance. I thought the smaller mag would hurt, but it hasn't really bothered me much (I'm a habitual reloader). I really like the look and feel of it. Haven't used it in PvP, but I haven't used HCs in PvP.
That a fresh Hard Raid? If so, I am in. 29 Defender Titan with maxed AE and IB.

EDIT: I can't read. Sorry. Clearly that's a checkpoint. I already beat him that way this week.
Anybody doing a fresh HM tonight?

Awesome, FR accepted and party invite sent. Let's go huntin', Guardian.
Is this XBone? I'd like to get in, haven't done any raid this week. I'm a 29 warlock, only one previous raid clear.
Gt is ruze789.
so you're a hunter. you can reload all the time gun like that. nothing like hawkmoon. third eye is great BECAUSE you can use another exotic, could run third man bladedancer and annoy the shit out of everyone in pvp
if you can speed the reload up at all with, say, oh I don't know, chain of woe, then it's ridiculous. have to be accurate, but you can wreck with that gun.

I can't wait for that.
But I went ahead and thought about it and broke it down and I'm pretty comfortable with $35 for the two releases. This is where I'm putting the value:
Raid: $7 - this is the big ticket item... pretty hyped for it, honestly. and I basically thought to myself, if they just released a new raid, what would I be willing to pay for it? $10 was too much, $5 I'd do in a heartbeat. So, $7 is my arbitrary price to pay for a new raid.
2 New Strikes: $2 - a buck each. Honestly this content isn't particularly difficult to put together and the one we know about is still a giant-regular-enemy-boss. Gotta say, if you're on Xbone missing a whole 100% in this category really rather sucks
3 New PvP maps: $4 - I went back and looked at what Halo 2 map packs cost... $12 for 5 maps, damn!
New gear and weapons (specifically exotics): $3 - I didn't expect to give much of a crap about the weapons in Destiny (I liked all the Halo 2 weapons, but they never really made me giddy except for the sword), but playing around with Thorn for a few matches last night, a gun I wouldn't even put in my top 4 or 5 in this game, I realized that Destiny contains several of my favorite FPS weapons of all time. Damn. And even the ones I don't like, I want in my collection. The poké-urge is real and severe. Give me moar.
Raised Light Cap: $0 - This does nothing for me and I wish they weren't doing it. Still, I understand a big part of the playerbase just demands vertical progression and I can tolerate a two-level increase per go.
New Story Missions/Bounties: $2 - Honestly, that $2 is assigned out of good faith. I have absolutely no expectation for any compelling narrative whatsoever and expect more confusion/barebones plot and characterization. I appreciate that they're making some effort and not just releasing the thing without any story components whatsoever- which they easily could have done- but I expect to be reading Grimoire cards again to get anything meaningful out of this.
So that's $18, and with the expansion pass "discount," each is $17.50 exactly. So I'm pretty much alright with the value proposition.
That said, within my total $35 purchase, I am counting on the new, third subclasses. I really enjoy all the classes in Destiny and this would seriously extend the game's longevity for me. If it doesn't come at least by House of Wolves I will be extremely disappointed.
It's decent to control, sure, just... just wait. Perfect Balance will turn your love affair into a wedding.
Congrats on your first clear! edit: Hezen Vengeance is probably the best Legendary rocket launcher in the game.
It wouldn't be acceptable under any circumstances
Pretty good breakdown. I still think it's overpriced since those would be good ala cart prices, but since you're forced to buy as a bundle, there should be more of a discount. I'd buy the raid and exotics for $7 and leave it at that. The strikes and story that use on disc assets should be added for free just to keep the community healthy.
I hope sales are below expectations and they drop the price to grab the attention of people that start playing at Christmas.
As for a new subclass, I hope they prove me wrong, but I feel that is the type of thing they will hold of on releasing until a major expansion next fall. I can see a new subclass, planet area and vehicles showing up between now and Destiny 2.
