Dear RNGesus,

I have played Destiny since launch and there is only one weapon that I desire. The Hawkmoon *kneel*

Please let your greatness shine through me tomorrow and bestow upon me my most precious and desired HandCannon.

So sayeth the Prophet. On a related note, I know it's pointless to ask during a weekday morning, but about to run some Roc Strikes if anyone wants to join. If not it's PUGs-ville for me.

Wait, if it comes out today, doesn't that mean we can kill death singers and get loot tonight?

Edit: The way I see it, there will have to be another "loot checkpoint" added to the game, and that won't be marked as "cleared" just yet...
Click to expand...

That would be awsome , think i have the checkpoint on my warlock and titan

Lolz yeah good idea... I skipped the deathsinger completely this week. Anyone want to team up to kill the death singer 3x times tonight?

If you skipped the Deathsinger this week like me then it's worth it to try it after the patch though.

I'd be down! I should have the CP on one of my characters.

might have a hard time finding that checkpoint since the majority of the users here are on ps4. There are some Xbox one players however :)

Maybe we should check Deathsinger drop after the patch and before the reset tomorrow.

hah! No wai! So much for everyone (including me) that thought they could cheat the system tomorrow morning. Oh well..... In a way it's kind of a relief knowing.

I'm ok with this.

Helped a buddy get 2 pieces of raid gear on Saturday as he was only a 27. His buddy wanted me to assist him with the fromage but looks like he's out of luck.

To the VoG you go!! :)

Video of the Crota fight from our Flawless run last night

We wanted to take it somewhat slowly to avoid our sword carrier from getting killed by Crota, so it took more swords than usual. The second round of ogres came out early and caught us off-guard so we had to improvise, and then we took the last swordbearer down a bit too soon when Crota was still over to the left. Plus we were super close to hitting enrage but we got it done in time!
Click to expand...
Bahahahaha. Stupid, Ogres.
Also that silly sword bearer risking everything to land an extra heavy while Crota is still invincible. I tried uploading mine earlier, but it was corrupted from the USB transfer. Weird.

Why is everything else level 32 except for the boots? This better be a fucking typo.

I am not surprised if they launched this early because of people planning to get extra stuff. In the update they clearly stated it will be Tuesday at the earliest.

is Level 31 boots a typo? Everything else is level 32.

Did you do Ir Yut 3x this week? People are going to check if you get the drop after the patch... I skipped it 3x so I might be able to get three drops before the reset...
Click to expand...
Hmm...No, I only did that portion once...not a bad idea.

First time I ran the Nightfall I was really hoping for some sweet loot...got 6 strange coins. That was a pretty big downer, so I'm glad they're at least buffing it up to 9.
Click to expand...

Before TDB and patches, I would get 9-10 coins in NF. Something probably happened when they patched the game before, as usual.
