I understand and sympathize with the comments regarding the daily being dlc, but there is so little content in the game I'm glad to get the tiniest slice of variety.
What time is the reset in US (any time zone)?
What time is the reset in US (any time zone)?
speaking of which. eris & co went down into the Hellmouth to kill Crota, were semi-succesful, failed to defeat his soul. We did exactly that in "The Wakening". We finished the job and Eris got her vengeance, she says so herself.
So what the fuck is C doing in the Raid?

We are at Crota.

Honestly I don't know if it's from actual canon stuff or my own speculation based on what Eris says and how they keep trying to "raise" him or if Crota is just a manifestation of the Hive's collective will or whatever it all starts to blend togehter.
Eris keeps saying if you aren't fighting Crota your wasting your time and that he's on his way. so I like to think the hive are trying to bring him here while Crota's true physical form is traveling to us. Either way he will get here.
Him in the trailer was one of his forms, start of raid is another, and after he gets back up from losing his shield is yet another form.

Never seen an MMO remove content for not buying the newer content.
Sure, old stuff isn't the best anymore but if you don't buy the new expansion you can still do what you did before.
What Destiny doing with removing Nightfall, weekly and dailies is robbing vanilla owners of content that previously existed. I imagine at this point for vanilla owners that is pretty much removing their reason to log in and play outside of PVP.

Yep.
I don't think it's going to send the right signal
That's completely valid and I definitely understand what you mean better now.
These are universally awful examples :-/ I'm sorry guys, but you must know this.
I'm conceding right up from that I don't have a good example myself, but I think any potential game to put in the same box, for absolute starters, needs to be a shooter... it'd also be hard to consider any game that didn't have a core competitive component too.
Destiny and Guild Wars 2 have almost nothing whatsoever in common. :-/
Not sure why it has to be a shooter since that's only one aspect of an RPG. The shooter RPGs I know of are Borderlands, Warframe, Hellgate London, etc. Looking forward to trying out Borderlands 2 when I get time. Hopeful for a PS4 port though.
Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer vs Destiny. I think ME3MP has way less content but is much better designed for what it is and was brilliant supported with bi-weekly updates and free DLCs for the entire first year. I did quit though after that 1st year but enjoyed great matchmaking, great gun play that rivals Destiny, and a large variety of Classes.
Guild Wars 2 and Destiny have plenty in common- character progression, open world, pvp, raids, crafting, etc. They're both classified as Online RPGs surely. Guild Wars 2, at launch, was much more complete. PvPers were not forced into raiding and the same went for pve players (not being forced into Battelgrounds). PVP is actually meaningful and has impact.
I could go on and on. GW2 had so much content at launch it would easily bury Destiny
Destiny can still be a lot of fun. I still hang around and sync up patches because I think if they were to alter their course a bit it could become brilliant. Remove the stupid glimmer caps, handle exotic upgrades with an extra node, etc. Also add more endgame sets or allow some form of transmorgification so all the L32s would look like ridicilous clones of another

Set your alarm each night and you are golden.
If you have husk of the pit then you might want to upgrade it to the legendary Eidolon ally.
No way I'd be able to do that either. Even if I wanted to do that I don't wake up to alarm clocks.

It's more to get to rank 4. Exchanging radiants would be very useful.
Right, and then you're stuck with a subpar legendary until you get a random drop in hard mode.

Pretty much my biggest gripe with Bungie touting how proud they are of the Eris storyline. I actually remember somebody from Bungie saying "You can go into the raid day 1, but you won't have context for it."
That's true no matter what though! They did nothing to bridge the gap between what we did for Eris and what we do in the raid. If you only ever did the Eris quests, you would be rightfully convinced that you finished the job. You banish his soul. Eris loses her mind, thanking you for finally getting vengeance. She gets her closure from you completing that task.
Then you take down Omnigul, that last loose end.
And then on your own accord, you drop into the raid and actually defeat Crota. You are in no way encouraged to do so by Eris, nor does she acknowledge the feat. There is no context. His soul is being awakened by the Deathsinger again, you stop the ritual again, and then BOOM. Crota is there.
The only way I can wrap my mind around this is that I assume they don't want to alienate those who will not participate in the end game raid and leave them hanging on the storyline.
But I'm not sure they pulled it off very effectively.

That's so funny. I wonder if it needs to be done at an exact time. Since some people haven't been able to do the cheese it seems more of a hassle than actually beating Crota which is not that difficult.
How can you be sure that it's sub-par? It makes your enemies explode.

No thanks, I can wait. Good for those in a time zone conducive to to the exploit.
For me it was rank 4 so I can trade energies for shards and be 32 right now, but I will happily wait another week for a raid. Even if I could get her up to 4 before then by doing the reset trick it isn't worth losing the sleep, not even a consideration.

Well, I would like to hit rank 4 so I could trade some of these 26 Energy I have for some Shards, since my progression is completely halted until I can acquire more.

Hardly anyone is paying any attention to the story line. I don't know anyone that cares about it. There are some folks that like to deep dive into the lore and read all the Grimoire cards, but most folks have no clue what's going on and don't care because the game never pulled you in to care in the beginning.

I just want Rank 4 for Eris for the Sunsetting shader.
Honestly, I don't know if there could ever be a better shader. Every time I go to the Tower for the first time of the day I preview my character with that shader. *drools* I'm buying 3.
I can't imagine how menacing my Titan will look with full CE raid gear and that shader.

I have the Crota checkpoint from my unfinished run last night if that's what you want. I would love to just finish that part off unless you guys are ding a full run.
The Necrochasm does, the Eidolon Ally does not.

Haven't looked at that one before, but man it is awesome... How many bounties will it take to reach Level 5 though

I thought the same thing. The new story missions made it seem like you've stopped the threat and everything is sunshine and rainbows. Then...there's the threat you apparently didn't stop down there waiting to be killed.
It looks dumb on my hunter; still happy Frost Fire.

The fact that Necrochasm lists its explosions as being frequent makes me think it's not a sure thing. It will definitely suck.
Nothing left to level up now, since I am keeping Hunger of Crota at 312, and my new Void and Solar Snipers level up as I use them.
Arm and Leg Raid gear got maxed a day after getting them, which is kinda cool considering that took just 30 bounties.
I didn't think that just one week after the DLC released, I would have replaced almost everything with an abundance of Commendations and Exotic Shards. If Xur upgrades Gjallahorn there is only Raid Gear left to get... 😐
