East Coast time. I'm on pretty irregularly but tend to be on around 6pm EST.
Awesome.
You do so much more damage with less people... I think we could limit teams to just 3.

lol at the undying mind strike where a wall literally spawns in front of you to slow you down
I don't have to play it, just know about it, hahaha. I pretty much hate Call of Duty and haven't touched one since the original MW, but I understand the value structure in each release.
Well I absolutely want more content because I like the game and I want more stuff to do. Moar Destiny, plz! Is that an okay answer? I really am not trying to be cagey, but the phrase "enough content" is the crux of this whole thing. Enough for what? It's obviously held my interest thus far... but obviously, there's no way it could do so indefinitely with just the amount that is currently in-game. but then, I bought the expansion pass, so...
Let me put it another way and maybe sum this all up:
If there was a game that gave me the same kind of experience to Destiny, but had twice as much content, I'd just immediately go play that game and never touch Destiny again. I have no particular loyalty to Bungie (haven't really been into a Halo since 2, though it's one of my all-time favorites) and I don't mind "the grind" as much as many do, so losing my progress/characters wouldn't be a compelling enough reason for me to stay. Though, trademark issues would probably preclude that game from including Hawkmoon, which would be the most painful aspect by far. I admit I don't like thinking about giving it up. *shudder* But, yeah, it'd still be worth it
maybe. It already sucks that I can't have Hawkmoon in other games right now.
The fact that no such game exists is more or less why we're all here.

Anyone doing crotas raid on ps4 And need to fill a spot? If so, my PSN is greyblade. I've got a level 31 titan and warlock that need to run it.

I also have a warlock and she needs to raid tonight as well. Level 31.
That video I posted earlier was a 2-man Crota and they were both level 32.
These guys did it with two level 31s.

After spending hours trying to take down Crota yesterday it was a huge relief to put him down in one run. Friggin awesome.

Started the day with over 10k glimmer, then upgrade after upgrade after upgrade drags my glimmer count down to 2.5k despite popping glimmer boosts while xompleting bounties, then I've got to worry about Xur this Friday, plus it raining xp with Iron Banner, I need a spreadsheet for this shit.
Is this not contradictory- aren't you saying if the amount of content were the same, but it was more interesting/challenging/complex?
If you include the bounties for story missions as part of the endgame, 100% of the content in Destiny is intended to be repeated, so new experiences are limited to your first time doing each piece. as such, the amount of new experiences (contrast "content") can be said to be incredibly low, even in a vacuum, I agree. But... then I feel compelled to mention that my first times going through each raid with my group are some of my favorite memories in gaming history.
I guess I got us way off track with the whole comparison business because I was thinking about the "total amount of content", for which I have no frame of reference the way I would with most other games.
lol yeah. right at the beginning, devil may cry style.
after you kill the Oculator cyclops, you can skip past a ton of stuff basically right to the boss. The Precursor stuff during the strike doesn't give glimmer so it's not worth killing (the stuff during the boss fight all does though. Polyphage time)

Solid team. I'm not surprised
I'm into getting a team together
Oh man.
Good to know. I will level it up and use it in the Crucible just because it looks really cool.
I don't have Glasshouse yet but I am loving Saint-14. I used the "blind bubble" on those three Hive majors that spawn underneath the shed in the Steppes in the Cosmodrome and then shot them in the back with my shotgun for that Eris bounty today. It worked wonderfully!
I think someone also worked out that Inverse Shadow (more super energy from non guardian kills) gives you a 32% boost to super energy so that's pretty great also.
Why are people grinding so hard for hours to get the Husk thing when it won't be fully upgradeable until the hard raid releases and even then who knows what the drop rate for that item will be? I mean I'd love to pick it up, but I'm just gonna see if it drops for me during normal play over the next month.
I think I'd be down for Heroic VoG depending on the time.
Ok, I'm jaguwar on psn.
I'm available from 5-8 pm pacific.
it's 2 32s...
this is incredibly impressive to me. makes sense they use the center... but dang

Shows how Hard CE is going to be. People better practice with all lvl30 teams to best simulate. Crota room will be atleast lvl 34

Still looking for it too (and the Vex). Won't be able to play until later tonight though.
Ahhhh that's kinda late. Was hoping to breeze through it and then have a chance at Crota tonight.
Stop right there. Look at who you're asking

So yeah I played VoG for Timepiece and Vision. Got 3 mythoclasts today. Its 3 shards but damn... this could use an inventory check.

Maybe "new experiences" isn't the best way to put it. What I'm trying to describe is whatever the opposite of repetition is in this context. Variety I guess? In that if the amount of mechanics and interactions had a lot more variety even under the constraints of the current amount of actual assets in the game, that repetition would be lessened. I don't want you to get too hung up on that point though since I only meant to mention it as an example of how to ring more out of what we have.

The delay is to give time for enough people to hit 32.
I like it.
There's also a cheese spot in the back that makes it one of the fastest strike bosses to kill.
Because it's THERE, man!
Really? Why do that? People can hit 32 basically as fast as they want to. Bungie gonna Bungie, I guess.
If I haven't done it yet by then we can definitely all form a group.

Where's this spot?
So that all the cheese methods can be patched before HM is released.

The Fallen are definitely the most interesting enemies to me.
I mean, Vex have all the time travel shit and can will you out of existence...fine.
But The Fallen are fuckin' space pirates. They remind me of a rogue separation of the Covenant. Betting their armor and weapons will look badass.
