Those are my favorite grenades especially with void fang vestments. Bloom everyone.Axiom Bolt is finally useful...
Still looking for a couple...Quoting for new page.
I dunno if I can be on then, but I should be able to get the Gatekeeper checkpoint since I want to switch my character at that point for future glimmer farming.
They're Second best PVP grenade after trip mines with Amhakara's SpineAxiom Bolt is finally useful...

HireHawkianhaha. eventually bungie will just put me on staff.
give that weapon vendor something to do other than have a fire sale on rare fusion rifles!
I have 3, but the other two are not experienced, but level 30.
Myself (31), Quell (31), and grimlock (?) were looking to take down Crota at approx 8:30pm EST on the previous page if you want to join up. I might be five minutes late or so but I can try to be on time.
oh I just saw your posts and we posted at the same time... no worries. We will all find a group.
5 heavy ammo synth is a helluva deal for 1 strange coin, i always buy at least 50-100 when I can.
This works out perfect. I already have 3 ready to roll at 8. Mind if we merge our groups? All 31's on my end.
Ya I agree now especially with glimmer being the way it is.
Greenymac, Lets join up with Deku Tree, Quell, and grimlock. Since we all know what to do, it should make the run go very fast.

Me and Quell are 31's and I think grimlock is a 30. I am happy to do that. We know what to do.
Rockman also has a group of three. I guess we were trying to do this at exactly the same time. Sorry! I am happy to play with your group sometime too.
I know, I was joking. I've been using Voidfang for a long time now (in the absense of HoPF) and I am well-versed in the Axiom Bolt
While I was originally joking, I would say that the Sunsingers Solar grenades in conjunction with Sunbreaker gauntlets are better, especially for Control.
Eh, it's fine my friends don't care THAT much about doing the raid, I on the other hand really need to do it, I'm sure I can find a group later tonight.

No worries! If you're still on great, otherwise no problem.

Any Crota fresh raids about to happen?

trip mine is definitely the best hunter grenade. i actually prefer the incendiary grenade because it can bounce off of floors and around walls, and the burn lets me track targets behind cover. trip mine is usually a OHK though and in competitive matches it's very important, so i switch if we're playing against a good team.
Ok that works for 8:30. See you guys then. I think I already have most everyone added as well.

Apparently there is a "Vanguard Dragon" level 28 playlist, but I'm 30 and it still isn't showing up for me...
what's the deal?
what's the deal?
I wish I didn't went on a message clearing spree two weeks ago. But there were way too many messages from psn friends and whatnot.
grimlock wasn't 100%. We can invite you as an ALT if he is unable to join us if you want.

That's fine, I'll be on regardless grinding the strike playlist.

A few thoughts, now that the year is about over and we've seen what Bungie is doing in terms of supporting the base game, vs. what is included in paid expansions.
In general I think Bungie has done a good job updating Destiny's systems since ship, with some exceptions (I think we all know what those are). But it's clear at this point that most of their patches are going to focus on refining systems, rather than refining content, which is what I had hoped. There are several activities that seem like they could serve as pipelines for new content, but have so far been ignored.
First up, public events. They're a pretty great feature in the game, but one that by definition everyone is exposed to since they occur in public spaces. But since Destiny came out, Bungie has only updated the frequency with which they occur. No new events, or event locations, or change ups in the existing events. It will be unfortunate if the set that shipped with the game is all we ever see.
Likewise, patrols are pretty vanilla right now. The missions are simple, not leveled in any way to the player and only occur in certain areas. I thought we'd start to see new mission types, or locations, or activities added over time, but that does not appear to be on the roadmap. (It would be neat if the powerful target that spawned was actually powerful, or if neglected spaces like the Grotto on Earth were utilized in patrols.) They were okay as a starting point for Destiny, but is this really what we're going to be left with until Destiny 2 comes out?
Similarly, bounties. They're fun, basically the daily challenges I liked doing from the later Halo games. I thought we'd see new ones dropped into rotation after time, as a low-cost way to add some variety. Instead, the only new ones appeared at a new vendor, with new rep to grind, as part of the TDB. There are not that many regular bounties in rotation. Are there no plans to expand on them? Do we need new vendors every time a new set of bounties to add? I haven't begun to work on Eris' as I'm so annoyed at the thought of having yet another set of rep to grind.
What about the special events? There's one for PvP (Iron Banner) and one for PvE (Queen's Wrath). Is...that going to be all? What happened to the Queen's Wrath?
And so on. There are several other aspects of Destiny that feel pretty good for a start, but with clear room for improvement or refinement. (Enemy spawns in public spaces, behaviors like patrolling areas, remixing strikes, etc.) But so far, we've no indications that Bungie is going to really work on the base game content - only the expansions. This surprises me a great deal and will more than anything contribute to my getting burned out on the game sooner rather than later. I'd like to see Destiny as a whole improve, but that's going to require Bungie to update the shipping game's content and activities, not just the underlying progression and loot systems.

Axion Bolt, Voidfang, and Bloom = the most fun I have in PvE.

I agree so much, I was really hoping we would see new public events, patrols and more. Actual new content, but we never have and the little we did get was part of the expansion, and there was barely anything there.
I even had hope we would have new areas of the planets to do patrols in and such at least, but still nothing.
I love this game so much, but the content is stretched so thin.
If the story missions were on par with some of Halo's greatest levels I would grind and replay that shit forever. But there isn't ONE story mission or strike in Destiny that comes close to a Halo tier story mission.
Makes me think if Bungie is even capable of making a level like The Silent Cartographer and The Storm.

Iron Banner is a cruel place.
Holy shit this makes me want to jump in. I haven't had hate mail for a year I bet
What time zone are you in? Sunday is OK too as long as it's after approx 8:30pm EST.

It's kind of like a parent buying a bunch of toys for their kid while the wife is still pregnant.
"Here's the toys I got you - play with them for three years and then I'll dump a new set of toys on the ground for years 3-6. If one of the toys breaks, I'll fix it, but if you end up not liking a toy or getting sick of a toy, too stinkin' bad."

I have missed plenty of days, holidays are getting busy with my wife and kids and extended family as well.
I am on paid holidays starting today until January 12th, but so much of that time will be taken up by the holidays, dinners, etc.
I have learned to let it go and just go at my own pace. I don't care if people are 2 radiant shards away from level 32, my time will come and I need not fret.
EST as well

I had some last night playing vanilla skirmish. Not even IB. I was like you can't be serious.
A couple weeks ago I think greeny and I were questioning what try hard means. Aren't you supposed to try hard?
I know, I was joking. I've been using Voidfang for a long time now (in the absense of HoPF) and I am well-versed in the Axiom Bolt
While I was originally joking, I would say that the Sunsingers Solar grenades in conjunction with Sunbreaker gauntlets are better, especially for Control.
For Warlock, maybe.
For best in PvP, period? Might provoke an argument.
