You obviously did not see our GAF NLB-only Vault of Glass run. We wouldn't dare give that honor to the likes of Hard Light and Necrospasm.
Tell him he can borrow the 2 spare necros I have in my vault....or the spare crux on my hunter.
What were the rules? were supers allowed? Did you finish it?

2 great erotic gauntlets complemented by the worst exotic weapon and an over rated chest piece
Couldn't agree more, and I'm a warlock person.
Love my ruin wings and don't touch me.

Me when I imagine grinding TWO Eidolon's:
I had 3 maxed thinking I'd be ready if the nechro turned out to be awesome.
Promptly dismantled 2.

I'm torn on PvE builds for my Bladedancer...
Either I go Fast Twitch + Hungering Blade, which robs me of any real invisibility options save Don't Touch Me.
Or I embrace being a sneaky bastard and substitute Fast Twitch for Escape Artist. Swap Hungering Blade for Stalker. Decisions, decisions.

I had hopes it would get a buff or secret perk for HoW. I was wrong.

NLB the only weapon. Nades, melee and supers were in play.

Damn right we finished it. Wiped twice at conflux, but first try at oracles, templar and gatekeepers. Atheon was a pain but we destroyed his shiny ass just before enrage.

I think if I somehow managed to grind 2 at the third I'd be like
When I thought Eidolon was an Arc AR I wanted two so I'd have a Legendary but nah. When I got one I knew nothing would make it better.

Any GAF groups up and running at the moment?
Crota, Atheon, Weekly, IB, whatever is fine with me.

I'm looking for a NF group, if you mean that by weekly. Short of a third then.

The only thing I already did this week are the NFs, sorry man!
Looking for literally anything but a NF, haha.
Nice! Great work on the templar. he was nearly dead before the first teleport! My group over the weekend needs to do that block strategy

Use that build on omnigul and watch how you melt away the enemies in the first and last part.

Woohoo, hand cannon telemtries. Gonna get a bunch so I can level up my fancy new Fatebringer by the end of the weekend.

Fucking Thorn, seriously
Terrible night. Five losses of IB in a row. Doesn't matter how well I do. My teams just suck. VERY frustrating.
You're telling me. The burning effect is ridiculous

That shit is broken in PVP. I'm quite sad with the Crucible right now, no green ammo drops, no purple ammo drops, AR are total shitcakes.
I'm also really annoyed that the last time I played Destiny a lot I "upgraded" my hawkmoon and reset all of its attributes, and now that ended up being a total waste of my fucking time!

Ramirez, Ares, Math, Vaalbar, & Sentinel, thanks for hopping on the IB GAF train! sorry that I was the caboose
PvP seems like 1 step forward, two steps back sometimes ;___;
IB is a Thornfest. Red Death is great when you go head to head with Thorn and win, but whe you get hit by a team of Thorns...not so much.

Every team needs a bait on the A flag, while the rest grabs C

Damn dude, that really sucks though. Nothing worse than having health problems or being in pain. We were just about to get you back in the swing of things too! Sounds like this injury will be less serious/time intensive to recover from, certainly hope that is the case! I was just getting used to scrolling through the roster and seeing you on my Destiny friends list again. Stay strong and get well soon buddy.
So good news, I'm back home
Doctor said it was a huge spasm that I felt after falling and trying to get up
They prescribed me a muscle relaxer and said a few days of rest + doing regular things will take me back to normal
I really was worried I broke something cause when I fractured my left leg/ankle this same sensation occurred
Well good thing my Main is Warlock, I truly am Fireborn material, always respawning myself after a fuck up/mistake

That's great news, Xur is selling a Heart of Praxic Fire chest just for your comeback

That's awesome news! Saw your post the other day (maybe yesterday), but fell asleep before I could comment. Had a couple of real long days and need to get more sleep...IB isn't helping with that.
Yeah I did that earlier too. Shipping was like 50 dollars here to Australia which was a bit eh. But I donated another 50 that other charity thing that they're doing to make up for it.
As long as I can get the relevant Commendation from my Vanguard (please read: wife), I'll be all over one of those shirts. It's for a great cause.
Well, this morning has been rough. Hit rank 3 IB so I bought the sniper. I was rerolling it to get a good PvP roll. Wasted 70 motes in the lottery and didn't get anything good. Oh and to make matters worse, I accidently rerolled one of my perfectly rolled Timur's Lash. So, TIL that locked IB weapons can be rerolled.
I think my super good luck of getting great rolls in past IB caught up finally.

Just ran across a level 20 in the Iron Banner. Poor thing. He Nova Bombed me and I barely got a dent in my health.

Level 2 Dreg disagrees.

I think the idea of capping how much you can outlevel enemies in PvE is to keep mobs relevant regardless of what friends you play with, and not turn Patrols into 'spray in general direction and kill everything' after you hit the endgame. They become easier to kill, but they aren't for WoW-style "casually tab-murder everything while you walk through low level areas". They aren't trying to make the meta-MMO strats overly complex for a console first person shooter.
Now, it'd be cool if there was some more moments in solo-friendly content where it feels like you get to mow through everything. But due to the design I can join a friend at level 12 and still have interesting gunplay as a 30 or whatever.

i can understand that... but, if they made "heroic" level patrols, where we can get greater rewards, instead of the hum-drum level 4 patrol that we find in the cosmodrome, it would add content without necessarily have to "work" at creating it. that way, we can patrol equivalent leveled areas and receive greater rewards for it. jmo...
Fuck Vex Mythoclast too. Sick of dying and seeing one of those two weapons pop up on the UI.
Where are people up to on IB? I'm just about to hit level 3

That was quite the afternoon for us (well at least those in the US). I didn't think we'd get past the Templar... but uh, well, yeah we did. Good times.
That would be cool. I imagine the issue with this would be splitting the patrol playerbase, which they rely on to give you a constant churn of new players each time you go to a new instance.
Perhaps they could make events where certain planets become more deadly on Patrol for a week. Nightfall Venus Patrol where you have to complete 12 bounties without dying, every enemy is level 30, and if you die or orbit out early you lose your bounty progress.

Patrol would be better if you could scale the difficulty in orbit like you can with the story missions. Higher levels = better loot drops and more difficult bounties/public events.
This would be great too. You get a missive saying that Mars/Venus/whatever is being overrun and need Guardians to help out for a solid week until reset. Would be a great way to make a planet more "social" by funneling players in into one direction with the lure of good rewards.
I use them to level weapons. I'll usually have 2-3 general bounties like precision shots, melee 30 and I'll grab the easy patrols like 'kill em all'. That way i'll usually have a few bounties done at the same time.
I'm also just about to hit rank 3, a win or two more and a bounty turn in should do it.
3/4th of the way to 3, should hit that tonight, level 4 hopefully tomorrow

Yes, but at least they are out there trying.
Actually I felt dirty playing a level 28 titan in IB last night.

Noting too great from Xur this week, but at least I was finally able to rexurbish my Bad Juju.
And I just got done grinding 25 strikes for a new Bad Juju bounty, lol.
