I've got like 6 unfinished games that I've bought since Destiny came out. I'm still enjoying Destiny but I think if there were ever a good time to take a break it would be right now with HoW still a month away. I'd like to clear out my backlog before The Order and Bloodborne come out.

Out of those, I'd expect #1, #3, and #7 to be addressed at some point before HoW. I mean, who would care about Hive Disruptor when the Fallen are the target?
Also, I haven't played many dailies since TDB dropped, so I'm just getting clarification on #10. When the Daily is The Wakening and you hover over it in the Director, it says it gives out Spinmetal?
heh
He ran it with me last week. He has the Glowhoo shader on one of his characters too.

I play other games when destiny is down. Which isn't often. I've bought a load of games in the sales recently that I really want to play. But I want to play destiny more. Especially since I set my own targets. At the minute it is to become better with sword so I can help my clan mates through crota hard and to Sherpa some of the non-raiders through.
Mix that with a bit of dgaf fun and I'm loving destiny. Even without gjallerhorn

I still need oversoul edict, so I may try and run lamps tonight. But I still have nightfall/weekly x3 to do.

Exactly. It's always about the content itself. VoG was a place I could spend countless hours, CE felt stale pretty quickly. It's lots of fun to play with good people and the fundamental gameplay is as good as any FPS ever. Both the quality and quantity of content are seriously lacking now, and HM CE really hammered that point home. Delay the release for a month+ to add... wizards that never spawn and a Gate Keeper that never matters?
I've definitely enjoyed the time I do spend with it more now that I completely ignore bounties and the grind, etc.

Oh shit, I thought this was your current group not the one for 6pm..
So sorry for the group I made mistakenly! Maybe if we have a second run, I'll invite you guys...
Awww i got kicked? Pansargryning
So sorry pan, I'll give you a shout if a space opens up
I think Bungie should be mixing things up in small ways if they can't do weekly events. For instance, let the daily xp mission count for weapons - because why not? How about having them reward a heavy ammo synth until the glitch is fixed? Why not have special sales at the vendors? Limited items only available for specific periods? There is so much Bungie can do in this play space. Sometimes I just think the team is too big.
Two Nightfalls, yes.
Hopefully in like two weeks. I think they started talking about TDB a month before December also but I can't remember.
first three sections of CE with Atheon fight at the end is a nice raid for me. I don't like VoG raid as a whole after repeated playthroughs.
that didn't work for us.

It certainly works, it does seem to bug out at random though. But in general it always works for me.
EDIT: For some reason I responded to a day old message, my bad.

I still really like VoG as a whole, but the Templar section is kind of a chore because its just a waiting game, arrive here, wait for xx minutes while we throw enemies at you. That is one thing I like about Crota End if you can kill stuff fast, and do the mechanics correctly you can complete it fairly fast. Not that I want quick raids, but sitting in one spot killing the same stuff over and over is a little tiring, kind of feels like an escort quest... having to wait for the slow walkers... start running you jerk!

It's a very lacklust "expansion" content. Bungie needs to address the glitches that have been here since he begining and other key issues the community keeps mentioning. Lol We have too much of a similar opinion about the game and community.
Edit: seems like a lot of us will be playing bloodborne
and HoW

Not if you are still gunning for Black Hammer. I don't want to have to run sCrota twice. Guess I just do a normal Crota cp and then full Hard each week. Bleh!

Either there will be a summer drought with gaming in general and people will complain or some top games will release mid summer instead of the usual Fall release date and people won't mind.

Destiny seriously has saved me in money spent on gaming roughly $800+ since it's release
I haven't touched any other game
I've made to many friendships with DGAF to let myself go and not be a helpful hand
Seriously I jump from party to party to shoot the shit and talk with others while playing
I was thinking about getting back into Game-sharing by Time-sharing, even then I know I wont put enough time into the game to enjoy it
I might take a few day break and really try to play through The Order 1886 from a Time-Share hopefully, maybe Bloodborne too, I mean I triple platinumed (Holy Trinity) Demon's Souls...
I see no game ripping me away from Destiny for the foreseeable future

I really need to run some ROC strikes once I'm done with Crota, I still have a pretty good stack of armor mats, but I actually ran out of weapon parts a bit ago. Problem is I never have a lot of open weapon slots so after doing bounties etc. I only have about 3-4 weapons to break down, and I don't feel like stopping at every green to break it down before moving on.
Increase the vault already Bungie!

He didn't know a thing about the raid and yet he had a Vex mythoclas? :/
You ran out of weapon parts? I still have over 1k though I do spend a lot of time dismantling stuff.

I thought about preparing for class mats but I'll do with what I have. I wouldn't grind for them now (unless you need it now or have gear you want to level up now). Because when you get the new HoW gear, you can level up the gear and grind for class mats at the same time. Kill 2 birds with 1 grindstone.

VoG has issues for sure but I appreciate the more ambitious design, it's always felt like this big mysterious place to me. CE has some great stuff and lots of potential but really half baked. I expected the "Templar" boss to show up after the bridge but instead we were in the final room, the "Gate Keepers" phase.
A lot of my feelings are influenced by release day experiences. VoG was fantastically exciting even though my PUGs couldn't get past GKs, while CE has always been sour since spending an hour+ wiping at Crota until World's First posted that a Lv31 was required. It felt really cheap at the time and that basic issue of damage scaling has permeated the entire design and been cemented in HM.
VoG relic and CE sword are perfect symbols for their respective raids. The relic is more mechanically complex and interesting to use, with a functional and aesthetic design that relates to its lore (looks like a Gorgon face and gives you abilities like a Titan--> Kabr).
On the other hand, the sword is a sword.
lol, it gives me more time to watch you get crushed to death by the bridge Totems!

I tried this a couple times last night but I would always get a free primary dump before I could kill anything. I even tried leaving a few clips of ammo left to quickly empty before the fighting starts and I still got the primary ammo dump.

Thanks to Dhruv and other gaffers I was able to bust my hard mode Crota cherry.

I hit this wall in early Decemeber when the exotic reset and vendor commendation news came out, I lost most of my motivation to play the game. Since then, I've been progressively cutting down on the amount of time I play, with a couple of weeks inbetween where I didn't even play the game at all.
First I cut off doing Vanguard strikes and Daily heroic story, then I cut off PvP, then I cut off the off doing the bounties(Eris will now forever be stuck at rank 1 lol) and Heroic weeklys, and now this week, I haven't even bothered doing the nightfalls, just the hard mode CE raids.
I have to admit, this transition from playing everyday to only playing only a couple of hours a week, has felt
The constant drive to play the game in an attempt to get that rare loot, was beginning to hit those dangerous levels of gambling addiction for me. Forcing myself through Weekly's and Nightfalls, hoping against hope that I would get dat weapon or armour piece that I wanted, even though I knew full well that the odds of me getting it, were about the same as me ever getting with Angelina Jolie, took it's toll.
I just stepped back, (literally) slapped myself a few times, then went away and did other things.That feeling of a great weight being lifted off my shoulders felt so good.
Who knows, when HoW comes out, I may find that previous drive again, but if it's anything like CE, that ain't happening.
