Whoa, good to know. Where'd you find that information?

which means it could only take 4 days to level instead of when it took 5.
I didn't much enjoy it as a 29 to be honest, but that was with a group of either 3 or 4 29s. Took awhile though we got through it. I felt very squishy. I'm guessing that with 30 or 31 almost being the norm at this point it will feel much more manageable.
As for CE I'd try to get to 30, at a certain part of the raid the level of the enemies if you are 29 will be too much.

Yep, agree big time with this.
You should be all good to go!
I'm pretty sure I'd be down for a HM raid around then as well, if you are looking keep me posted.
You should be fine. Just be sure to upgrade your weapons as well.
Will buy a new P&T. I have like 3 of those to break down. Lots of shards from that.
Will buy 250 Heavy Ammo packs if I have enough room in my inventories and vaults. It would be so much easier to spend coins if my vault wasn't holding twenty different mats and currencies in the same slot I'm trying to carry twenty different synths and telemetries.
Mildly tempted to upgrade Thorn, but I don't feel enthused about grinding 7k glimmer to earn the right to grind XP on the same weapon again.
Will try to buy at least two helmet engrams.
Meh Xur Week. Just want my Obsidian Helm.
thanks spyder - will do
It used to take me 2-3 days doing bounties on three characters to max out a weapon, I can do it in a day now.
It's considerably faster than the slog it used to be.

I keep going back and forth but there's no urgency. Especially if they are going to pull this crap with the next DLC.
Plan C and MC I would only use in Crucible and I don't care enough about Ironing to bother now. P&T is the closest, but I would honestly rather upgrade it than buy it new and save strange coins for heavy synth. Already bought 200, might buy 100 more haha.
If you need shards and LiK needs shards why not just make it a full fresh run?
My hunter got to 31 last night. If anyone is forming a CE raid crew tonight after 8:30pm EST let me know. I am looking for a hopefully quick kill with experienced players. I am an expert at tower duty and I know all aspects of the raid. We did the whole thing a few days ago with no wipes. I also have the Crota check point if people want to start at Crota and then pick up the early loot afterwards.
Then after that I need to do another 15 strikes with my 31 Warlock before Xur leaves so that I can get on with my second Bad Juju exotic bounty. So I might be (semi-selfishly) up for helping people through Nightfall and Weeklies.

VoG HM at 29 is fine. Especially if you have a decent team which I would assume would have a bunch of 31's now.
Just curious, do you know you can buy your way to 31 now? Just visit the vendors in the Tower.
I'd wait til 30 for CE but we had a 29 with us for the first week and he kinda survived it, lol.

Yeah that was exactly my loadout for our Flawless run. We dropped Atheon with 1-
I would definitely not encourage doing the jumps the way some in our fireteam did it, but it's the way they felt most comfortable...nerve wrecking.

Anybody feel like doing the nightfall and weekly? Kind of beating my face into the wall with this one.
Hey Jay, I hear that there is an upgrade available for Universal Remote.

I'm up for a CE run myself, I would be bringing my 31 warlock with Gjallarhorn, I've completed the raid a few times now, and have experience with the sword if needed. Oh and I have the bad juju bounty as well so we could buddy up for that, I'm on your FR already PSN = Qwell
word on the street is that its delayed until tonight. waiting on an infographic.
Well my buddy said he probably can't swing it now due to a meeting, but that gives us 5. I can scare up a 6th unless you guys want to grab someone.
Totally down for a fresh HM run
There is supposed to be one today, but here is an early sneak peak:
"You guys love Destiny! Here are some numbers! Destiny is great! Killing Crota is the best Christmas present around. Keep giving us your feedback, we're listening.
Operations center:
Lowered the percentage of people with the Baboon error by 15%.
Happy holidays Guardians."
I actually got an identical Timur's Lash from the first Iron Banner. Here's a video of Rumble with it:
http://youtu.be/BY0LppJiD9M
and another one after re-rolling it to Rangefinder and Reactive Reload:
http://youtu.be/9yzQx__350k
And I do agree, it doesn't have a whole lot going for it when comparing it to "normal" HCs like Devil You Know as the extra impact doesn't really do anything as you still need 3 headshots to kill (most of the time). That and the slower fire rate means that usually it has longer kill times than HCs that hit for 86.
The only good thing about Timur is that it makes some combos more reliable like bodyshot + melee, grenade + melee etc. but all in all, I'd st ill advise people to get some other HC if they can.'
Edit: I guess 2 headshots and 1 bodyshot will kill with Timur's so it has a little edge, still not amazing though.
Sounds good. I know who you are. Let's do it. I guess we need four more for the CE raid.

I've never done the hard version of the VoG raid, but I'm close to hitting 31, and maybe I should check it out before I do.
My biggest question: Does the loot stack like the weekly strikes (i.e. Does doing the hard version give you the loot for the normal version as well, or do you have to do the normal afterward)?

You don't understand the rush because you got it after only three tries
Well, if I didn't I would have given up after 10. Too annoying to go back n forth in orbit lol.

Boss encounters give you double loot (counts for normal and hard) and so does the Gorgon chest.
Meaning, you get twice as many ascendant mats, and maybe two Chatterwhites.

Me and fellow gaffer firehawk ran the Solar Burn Nexus NFall 8 straight times to do that part of the Bad Juju bounty, haha. Took like 8 minutes each run.

What are all of the exotic drop points in VoG? I need to start running it with some gaf folks.
http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2oembc/so_heres_how_much_faster_new_exotics_will_be/
Essentially a ~47k difference, or about 9 bounties' worth.
Armor is much less of a change, but then armor never took all that long (from my perspective anyway).
The playerbase would have by and large been okay with any upgrade system which led to increase damage but did not reset a weapon's unique ("exotic," even) perks they'd already invested in, even if the gun actually took MORE xp to relevel.
Destiny is rather bad at offering what I would call "hush puppies"- small token design elements that don't make a large impact overall, but soothe gamer psychology in order to make grind/repetition feel less onerous.
Twice, in fact.

Ideally, they should make it so that you have to re upgrade from the signature for Exotics the game sees as maxed out. I mean you've done your work, you pay glimmer and a shard. You still have to fill up 4 orbs afterwards, which also cost time, glimmer and a shard.
But maybe I'm just crazy and Bungie is not.
i got one from there last week, it was my 4th i think. they made for a nice collection of exotic shards.

Yep, going to be some 3 months retrospective bullshit.
No one gives a shit. Just prove that you really are listening and that changes are coming that will improve the experience.
I call those Quality of Life improvements, of which Destiny is severley lacking. Plenty of room for improvement as far as small conveniences or rewards.
I'm willing to lose my HM virginity if yous are willing to bring me along?
I've done the raid a few times and despite only being 29 i'm sure i can cope

You forgot one part:
Baboon errors have been relabeled and split into orangutan, chimpanzee, and jabberwocky errors.

Dude; wanna team up on this one? Same thing is kicking my ass.
Sweet. That sounds like the best Nightfall ever for doing the Bad Juju bounty. Icebreaker all the way.

Sure I was only running the 24, but we can try any. My PSN is my GAF name
Not miced up at the moment though.

Are you leveled to run the nightfall and the weekly at 30?
Absolutely, Bungie is horrible at that for some reason.
Shhh no proof, only dreams [and empty promises]
I giggled.
Unfortunately not 29 here.

Yah nexus is definitely the way to do the bad juju bounty. I did it twice (and have the NEW bounty twice yet again) and both times were during a weekly Nexus. I got reaaaallly good at running it, think my fastest Nexus clear was just under 7 minutes.
