Not sure if you have kids, but I know I could never balance it if we had children. Luckily my wife and I were always in agreement about not wanting kids so that isn't a problem. Sometimes it can be tricky with the wife but it's just about communication. She will tell me if she wants to spend time together and I will also make sure to spend time with her so she doesn't always have to ask. Also, she's awesome and we have a ton of fun together so it's not a problem. Make sure things are balanced, help around the house with chores she hates doing, and both parties need to be reasonable and honest. Speaking of which, I have some dishes to do, haha.
This is the first game since Battlefield

Yeah I feel you. At these points I guess buying equipment to either shard or to make a new character would be the way to go.
I can totally relate friend. Bungie got themselves a hitter here, they just aren't treating it right. I'm sure things will get better, but if only these changes came sooner!
Hook up with some Gaffers and do the raid. It will get you lots and lots of shards. You can do it at lvl26 although 27 or 28 is better.

Ok this got me.
So before yesterday, I had never gotten a weapon drop above blue. Started the Raid for the first time and got Pradyth's Revenge. Tonight I ran a nightfall for the first time. Got Hawkmoon. After that we finished our raid and I got Vision of Confluence and a SECOND Hawkmoon. I now worship at the altar of RNGesus
Getting a divorce helped my balance.
Sorry guys, it's not coming together. Not enough people.

Aw I was really hoping for OT10-Stockhorn Syndrome....
Best match in Rumble happened last night.
Got dumped into a match halfway, with the leader 10 kills ahead.
Got killed twice right out of the gate.
Heavy ammo comes in, I take out my LMG and start cleaning house. I kill other dudes who drop their heavy ammo for me and I make it last till the next heavy ammo box. Next thing I know, I have a 19 kill streak and I win.

4 of my regular raid group from when Destiny launched decided they weren't getting the expansion. The last one sold his PS4 today
RIP regular raid group.
I can relate to this. I'd gone through 3 different semi-regular raid groups before finding gaffers who ran flawless a bunch together. Hopefully we will all still be around for the DLCs, but life gets in the way. It's really hard to consistently coordinate schedules and interests of 6 human beings, haha.
CM is the best legendary MG in the game, arguably the best MG period. Great weapon, especially for the raid and void burns.
Sucks about your raid team but it's really hard to find a good group. If you are on PS4 and need help finishing Atheon some time, just post here and I will help if I'm around as will plenty of other Gaffers I'm sure.
First full run at the raid this evening and it all went pretty smooth until Atheon. Had 3 who were strangers to me in our team and requests for info on what I should be doing during the fight/how it works were ignored until I messed things up at which point I got grief.
Tried a few times to stop and have a conversation so someone could take the lead in terms of strategy but we just repeatedly wiped and then immediately started over. It was wierd - no-one seemed bothered even though its clearly not that difficult and everyone was levelled/proficient enough. After an hour I called it a night!
Got Corrective Measure for my efforts and it seems awesome plus I am missing a decent MG or a Void weapon. What's the general opinion?

certainly one of the best heavy weapons in the game.
I'll add you to the list, thanks! What's your psn?As always, I'm happy to help any flawless team if they need a reliable member. But I also don't want to take a spot from someone who still needs the trophy and I'm sure you guys are more than capable of getting it done. So put me down for it if you need someone to help, but I will also jump out to make room for people who need the trophy. I've probably run that shit more and died less than just about anyone, haha. It's the only gaming I do nowadays outside the weekly reset.
I'm also happy to run it multiple times with different groups if there is enough interest. There's no reason we can't get it done in 1-3 attempts, max. Glitches are not a big problem anymore.
Edit: Btw, great title for OT10 Hawkian. It was the right choice.
Added!! Should be good to go now. Can always take alternates if things pop up for people.
Corrective Measure is probably the best MG in the game, besides maybe Thunderlord.

Many thanks for the flawless attempts on the weekend. It was fun finding new, creative ways to die!
For anyone curious, we had three shots at Atheon, but we'd already had deaths (no wipes) earlier in the run.
1) First death inbetween Templar and the Gorgons. No deaths on jumping and Gatekeepers. Atheon teleoprted zero people the first time, then three as normal for all remaining phases (3 or 4?). I tripped on my own rocket on the second last phase.
2) First death at jumping puzzle, followed by many more (practice is good). One death at Gatekeepers, I believe. Atheon behaved normally.
3) Same as 2), except the Gatekeeper death did not get a 30s rez - it was auto due to the battle ending. Don't know if that makrs a difference or not. Anyway, Atheon was a total fucking bastard. Two phases of 0 and 1. I inadvertently backed into the left portal, got marked, then went to cry in a corner, eventually died and rezzed. After that, Atheon teleoprted the same two people (myself and Firehawk) for about four phases straight.
Strategy was: 3 people on each side, if two came through, we hauled ass. It worked pretty well. No weirdness with oracle marking.
We did not get Time's Vengeance at all. We tried but just failed to DPS him down - he had a sliver remaining before the enrage got us. That said, I was down for a while in the fight, and I didn't use heavy ammo which would've been another 7 Ghorn shots. Wasn't going to waste it. I reckon we could've got it at least 20s earlier if not for that.
It is very do-able, this was with 3 30's and 3 29's. It was also good to see the glitches in action and how to deal with them.
Wiped and all was good. No issues on the second attempt.
Looking forward to trying again. Just wish it wasn't so glitchy at the end

PSN is DrDrizzay101. Happy to help as much or as little as desired by the other members.

Yeah, glitches are clearly related to the hotfix at Atheon since they seem to require a wipe in order to load correctly. Really sucks for flawless of course, haha.
If you want help with glitch runs just let me know. I ain't afraid of no glitch, seen them all by now and know how to work around them. Still challenging though.

We have young kids so it is tough to find time as it is since I rarely play when they are awake. At least not violent games. I already got my share of chores which is why I force the issue on game time sometimes, but communication could probably be better.
Lol, that would certainly help for game time, but that isn't what I would call a solution.
Happy days then! I took it for a very quick spin and thought the accuracy/low recoil was ridiculous. Then I saw the perk for max stability and figured it was something special
Sometimes I wonder if we

Sucks, we gave up. :/ I assumed you got disconnected.
Been a while since I did hard mode as a level 29 :lol
Minotaurs at the Citadel? They seem to respawn pretty quick.
Different situations of course. ;p

You know these actually sound interesting and I'd be all for them. If the game doesn't give us the tools, why can't we the people build them?

Hmm yeah that is tricky. Every family is unique which is why communication is so critical. A lot of times if my wife seems upset about something kinda "silly" (gaming), it's actually about something more important. So we just try to get to the root of the issue and then talk about what would make us both feel better. Kids are a whole 'nother level so I can't relate there unfortunately, haha. Good luck!

Luckily our kids are getting to the age where we can kick them outside to play with friends. Although we did cave and let then play Destiny. It's violent, but most of their friends are paying COD, so we figured this is a good compromise.

Add PSN PikaPuff to your friend's list (but not this party), 30 titan, 29 hunter, 29 warlock. I'll be available 8:30pm if you aren't full by then.
If you don't have a party by then I'd like to join.
It crashed and sent me to the PS4 UI. Then, while trying to get back in, it wouldn't let me open the Destiny app for some reason. I couldn't restore my liscense because it wouldn't let me sign in to PSN. Internet is fine as I went and surfed on PS4 for a minute or so to check the problem.
But yeah, I forgot how hard the hard raid is when you're not doing normal damage. It's so easy when doing it as a 30.
CURSE YOU RAHOOL!!! I just watched somebody land a TLW as a reward for a Tiger Strike. It's the second time I've seen TLW drop like that. I have yet to get a drop better than blue from Tigers, and I run them constantly. So I took my super useful rare class item engrams back to tower, rolled over Rahool to rank 32 and guess what I finally got? Two more rare engrams :/

Why sell PS4? Cause of PSN?
That's how I got my TLW two months ago...

I still have never seen an exotic drop from a tiger strike, and I ran close to 200 strikes by now. Rahool and Xur are in cahoots.
