Ay Caramba!
I've got over 5 days and 4 hours - which is a lot considering the wife and 2 kids and full time job and all. I have made poor decisions occasionally (staying up til 3 while having to get a kid to school by 8 or even playing at work) to hit those numbers. It'd be near impossible for me to fit in 3x my playing time to hit your numbers...
...but I would certainly like to play more.

Don't worry, you weren't getting them anyway.
Im in the middle of 2 invective bounties. was just going to shard them, but now i can shard my old maxed, keep one of these new ones post tuesday, and shard the other, which will end up saving me a shard.

My Strikes Introduction Grimoire card is still stuck at 14/50. I've done a few more strikes than that.
You ate my chocolates didn't you?
Yeah, the poison goes through phalanax shields, and low level Vandals take one hit then die afterwards, it's really fun to use in PvE maxed.
As long as I keep my perks that make my weapons fun to use rather than grind through mediocrity to get to that light at the end of the tunnel, I would be content with that middle ground.

Willing to raid any night - PSN: Rubenov25.
Got slapped in the face with the update but still in.
Ah! So that's why RNGesus hasn't blessed me with a Hawkmoon yet... because he does not want to let me stuck with a handicapped version of the gun. He's acting cruelly to me; but I always knew he secretly loves me. :'D

I looked at fig's total on just one character (15 days??) and I thought, "Ok, not so bad." hugs to fig

So that's why the Horn won't drop for me either. Makes sense.
My lvl 30 Warlock has 240.5 hours just yesterday i finally got the helm for him.
lvl 30 Hunter has 70 hours just need raid boots for the set.
lvl 29 Titan has 48 Hours only has gloves.
358.5 hours/24 = ~15 days in game
Yep, should've been Eris or the gunsmith. The gunsmith assists with exotic bounties along the way, so why not give him a more prominent purpose than buying ammo packs and waiting for rare fusion rifle stock. I mean, I like the idea of Xur and what "it" does now, but once a week is basically stifling progress purposefully to extend the game's content IMO. I'm still in for the DLC and feel that the content we do get will be great, but some of these decisions leave me smh.
On another note, who's getting a group together for Raid at release, cause I'm gonna be down for that and def would like to run it with some folks from GAF. PSN: GhostFaceDon

I've got 2 nightfalls and weeklies to run on ps4. If anyone wants to join me send a fr to greyblade and hop in.
why yes, gimme just a minute or two to collect about 1.2 million XP, ~50.000 glimmer and ~50 strange coins

I'd love that. Have the options cycle every 3-4 days if they must. That way there's a fair chance we can actually upgrade if we want. Xur is too unreliable.

I thought the common assumption now was that you'd have to max them out the normal way first before they let you buy the upgrade from Xur so you can wipe all of your progress and level up the weapon again.
Kind of like prestiging in COD.
Yes, fortunately. But I've taken it on myself to run his Hunter through the weeklies, Nightfalls and Raids.

I'm a little worried about the commendations as a barrier to crucible items.
I have over 5d of playtime and I JUST NOW unlocked rank 2 crucible vendor, meanwhile I'm rank 5 Vanguard and rank 3 in each Monarchy/FWC/DeadOrbit. I don't hate crucible or anything, I do alright there, it's just not something i can do for long periods of time. So there's a whole shop I still haven't been able to use in all this time... and now it will be even further away? :/

No idea who has experience in what. We'll have to sort that out when we get in the party chat tonight.
No worries, we have a few alts. I just wanted to make sure I didn't give away your seat if you wanted it.
Updated List:
Hard Mode Raid (starting at Gatekeepers, killing Atheon, then starting over) - PS4 - 8pm Eastern
1) Dave_6 (PSN DaveS78) - Level 29 Hunter
2) stb (PSN Berried_treasurE) - Level 29 Titan
3) Agent_Tiro (PSN Agent_Tiro) - Level 30 Hunter
4) Temidien (PSN Temidien) - Level 29 Titan
5) schwagger15 (PSN spyder_ur) - Level 29 Titan & Level 29 Warlock
6)
alt1) raindoc (PSN raindoc) - Level 30 Warlock & Level 29 Hunter
alt2) ArkkAngel007 (PSN ArkkAngel007) - Level 29 Hunter
alt3) Coconut (PSN KrugerrandMan) - Level 29 Hunter
I'd like a couple 30's in this, so the slot's yours if you want it.
Can you still take slot 6 if raindoc can't?

how dare you
Can't this week, but maybe next week. Between the holidays, home projects and a new job at work my schedule is unpredictable right now. :\
That is wonderful.
I'm still in. If we get stuck it'll be on mechanics we don't know, not weapons. 300 vs 323 won't break our run. I hope you guys are still up for it!
Agreed (for the most part). Thanks for posting, Urk.
Also, E92 has been leading the charge to have the Mythoclast nerfed again. It's causing people to pine for it despite the expac coming up, so you should look into this. I was against it, but thinking about it, I might be being swayed to his position....
You're just jealous you don't have a Vex yourself, Biz. It's okay. I'll melt things with my 3 Vexes in your honor.
W-were they good?
You were the poster above me. I couldn't help myself.
LoP, for the purpose of clarification...
Titan: 29 (needs a helmet)
Warlock: 29 (needs gauntlets)
Hunter: 29 (gauntlets and helmet)

Only a small 11.75 days playtime thus far. No surprise the vast majority of that time was in Patrol mode seeking materials.
I appreciate urk stopping by but I'm really hoping DeeJ has a lot to say.
What's the reasoning behind commendations (is there one besides slowing progress?)
Why reset progress and remove exotic perks vs more bubbles/other upgrade paths that acknowledge time spent?
Why introduce the Exotic Shards 48 hours before letting people know just how valuable they will become?
I'd like answers to these at the minimum.

Where are you guys seeing this? The official Bungie sources, or DestinyTracker?
I played a couple matches yesterday where the dumb fucks obviously didnt hear my thorn making begging for blood...I dunno how many double and triples i got, but it was like they were lining up for it and Im a very mediocre crucible player.
Bungie.net profile page reports it in days and it seems to not show the "full" time reported by the API (see destinystatus.com), likely filtering out orbit/idle time.
