I have gone from having one of each class, to 3 hunters back to one of each class. At this point I have perfected power leveling a character to level 30 baring that they have the armor in the vault.

shit, if somebody wanted to pay for my account i would have sold it instead of deleted it. then again, you can't change the name on ps4 so it would have been a bad idea.
oh well. those 4 ghorns can rest in piece.

dude, I remember when you finally got HM scrota off your back. that weekend you and team Epix Sax spend half a day playing the epic sax song and grabbing all the gaffers who havnt finished it yet. seems like you were about to give up and then became the go to guy. as horrivble as HM scota is, it gave you a new lease on life.

Tyrantrum Is my favorite Pokemon sadly someone got that avatar before me.
I mean I assume another might be front and center on your icon...
I myself logged over 999+ hours playing Pokémon X apparently according to the game same file.
I love Pokemon, but only ever caught all the Pokémon in Blue. Don't have the patience anymore.

What Hydruxxo was banned?! That's sad, he was a cool dude. I just saw him post the other day, I thought.
I usually try to make a positive post in each destiny thread created over there but that's about it.
Maybe they talked to that guy via email. IDK

What the hell, people are selling PSN accounts for Destiny goodies now lol
Yeah, I Grandpa Simpson-ed that thread.
Sensational tweet from games "journalist" was just the drop of blood into the piranha tank.
People are just looking for an excuse to rail at this point, when the only reasonable response is "if you don't like it, don't buy it".

well, since the range-nerf, it isn't as awesome as it used to be... *smh*
It's still pretty awesome when fully leveled
Shiny Hunting in Pokémon = Exotic Hunting in Destiny
Pretty much at least--you're very similarly to the mercy of RNG. The main difference being you have essentially infinite shots at shinies rather than X number of shots per week.
Gen 6 (X&Y) had debatably the BEST fossil/dino pokes of the series.
Filthy casual, get on my level!
122 clears, WUT!
On a more serious note, I agree that it is very much a wait and see approach to the question of value for our many spent.
There would be some redemption of they just up and said "We know some of you had hoped for a new raid, and we couldn't, in good conscience give you a bad experience with an unfinished/tested raid. So, we are taking some extra time to let it bake in the oven, and will get back to you all when its ready. Oh yea, this one will be on the house."
Give or take that last part, but they really need to come out and say that a raid is still planned or not. As well as how soon we could expect it.

Xbone people, we still need to kill Atheon NM and I'd like to get three HM Oracles/Templars done as well. Get me a shot at that Fatebringer.

Geez 900 for fully leveled Hahaha. It doesn't seem like anyone bought it so I doubt people are really willing to spend that much? But I could be wrong.
We did Oracles and Templar last night, think we are doing Gatekeeper and Atheon tonight.

Your team failed. Which means you all share that failure equally. If you have more experience and ability then it falls to you to help newer players understand the encounters and work together to correct any mistakes that caused wipes.
Win as a team, lose as a team.
I fully agree with your central point that "time spent \= value" but I also wouldn't remove my own agency from choosing to spend that time. I've always played Destiny for fun, the only buttons it's pushed are the same ones that motivated me to play any video game in my life.
Sadly a few of our most esteemed full cap ranters are currently MIA. A certain Banned Belgian hasn't turned on his PS4 for weeks and the legendary GR-X is still mending his wounds while gathering his shit-posting-powers as we speak.
Call me crazy but I don't think these are the kind of "Exotic Acquisition Stories" Bungie was hoping for from Destiny.
"The encounter is so poorly designed I was relieved to never play it again."

Reef walkthrough needs to be good. I can only take so much disappointment in one day.

Alright, 3 hours away from the walkthrough. Time to get a lot of work done until then
Bungie should give me back all my VoG armor that I sharded fully leveled at 30 light.
1) They made it obsolete.
2) Deej told us that Bungie planned to "lock in time" all Vault of Glass gear
3) my storage space was so small that I had no place to put this old and obsolete gear.
4) re-grinding sucks because the drop rates in VoG are abysmally low.
5) re-grinding means I would also have to re-level which sucks too
And now yesterday and today apparently we find out that you can be level 34 with Vault of Glass Armor contradicting what they previously told us.

Last night's raid report, "Where the Fuck did Everyone Go" edition:
schwagger15's been MIA for about a month, and captscience was on vacation or something, so we were 2 short. Thanks to frequent guest raider StereoType for filling a slot.
1x NM CE full
- We couldn't round up a 6th despite having a dozen alts signed up, so we just started with 5.
- Abyss was really ugly, but we finished it with no wipes and either 2 or 3 left standing.
- Bridge wasn't too bad, but 5-manning it was weird, and it took us 2 wipes, I think.
- No noteworthy loot; I don't think anyone got that one piece of gear they were waiting for.
3x NM Deathsinger and Crota kill
- Tick221 hopped in at some point during this, so thanks, whoever you are.
- The DS runs were pretty standard fare
- captscience is normally our sword, so StereoType took up that mantle and did a bang-up job of it.
- The only one he didn't absolutely ace was when Crota *with one-R2's worth of life left* chased him all the way off the platform and killed him. We did oversoul and ogres, somehow did at least one more oversoul, and Capt_Verde finished Crota off the next time he went center.
- Misc exotics dropped, but nothing anyone needed.
1x HM VoG full HM Gorgon's chest 3x
- Tick221 had to bail, so robdraggo filled in
- CE took us longer than usual, so we opted to start at the Gorgon chest
- I managed to suicide with a rocket while "warming up" the chest, just as GRIP pulled a goddamn Hawkmoon out of it. That was MY HAWKMOON, you sonofabitch!
3x Atheon kill
- our one run through GK was easy, even though I died while guarding middle. There WAS a very strange lag incident where all the minotaurs stopped moving on our screen, but were still somehow sacrificing themselves at the conflix, and the portal ones just suddenly appeared rather than properly "teleporting" in. We managed to pull it out, though, because I think the timer was running the whole time.
- 1 or 2 wipes at Atheon due to random shenanigans (Atheon already "awake" as soon as we spawned in; insta-gibbed by hobs on "Mars"), but very smooth runs.
- robdraggo hit the loot jackpot, scoring 2 Vex and the SECOND FRIGGING HAWKMOON of the night, I think it was the last exotic he needed, so congrats!
- At this point, the only people to NOT get Hawkmoons *during the raids* among the "regular" raiders are myself, Capt_Verde, and StereoType.
I was disappointed that we had a hard time pulling a full team together, but once we got going it was fun as usual. A total waste of time from a progression standpoint for me, personally (and I think everyone but GRIP and robdraggo), but everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves again this week.
Thanks to the group for continuing to do this; despite the repeat content and slower-and-slower progression/acquisition of goodies, I look forward to it every week!

No such thing as invaders here. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to post! As for your questions:
-Nobody knows yet, but the Bungie stream at 2pm EST should answer some questions. I have to assume the new social areas will be mostly or completely open regardless of level. Pure speculation though.
-Absolutely balanced for one character. Many people have a happy, healthy Destiny relationship with that one special someone. Like you said, your drop chances will be limited but so will your expenses for leveling up gear.
-Common misconception about Destiny's Light Leveling system is that it's comparable to a traditional RPG where over-leveling is possible. In Destiny, your weapon damage does not increase whatsoever if your character's level is higher than the enemies level (e.g. going from Lv30 to Lv31 will not do more damage vs. Lv30 enemies). Only higher Attack rated weapons do more damage, e.g. a 331 Atk GHorn does more damage to all enemies than a 300 Atk GHorn.
Increasing light level will slightly reduce the incoming damage you take but only because of the higher Defense ratings on higher Light armor. Not a huge difference. On the flip side, being a single level below the enemies gives a huge ~32% penalty to both damage dealt and received. So reaching the same level as enemies in a raid makes an enormous difference but going above their level is negligibly important.
Light leveling might be the worst RPG-leveling system I've played. Aggressively counter-intuitive.

am I in the minority thinking crota gear looks better than vog gear ?
As much as I LOVE the Hawkmoon, the thorn is just so damn good in crucible. Very consistent kills, and that poison DoT is just great
Many a guardian has gotten a postmortem medal from me because of this...
So so very aggravating...

Nope, I feel the same way. At least for hunter armor, Crota > VoG armor for hunters.

Probably.
Crota Titan helm is disgusting, Warlock chest is amazing. I don't know I guess it's hard to compare full sets but they're both fairly unique and have different strong points.
I can help when I get off work, but it's probably late for you. We're planning on running 3x HM atheon tonight at some point but I can help with Oracles/Templar if needed. Love running the relic.
I'm still down for some VOG action tonight. Prefer Templar, but would jump in on Atheon as well.

I agree with this, last night's failed attempt at Atheon fresh in my memory.
