Those gloves are so ugly, though.
Seems like down the line I'll mainly be rocking old gear upgraded with etheric light, rather than the PoE sets...

I like that the Hunter exotic helm basically combines 3 GG bullets into one and gives you 2x dmg with keyhole perk, it'll probably shoot through the Titan bubble and kill everyone inside.

I'd be down in about 10 minutes! Pretty new to this, but have a 33 Titan.
psn = dorssom
Our Skolas clear after a few hours of trying if anyone wants to check it out.

Someone already did and it didn't give anything useful.

Sweet, thanks man. Depends on what my crew gets done tonight, I still have a 34 clear to do.
Either way, I plan on being up pretty late (if my body allows it), what time are you thinking? EST time zone here.

I've played Iron Banner as a 28-29 and done ok. 33 in ToO will be fine, imo.

Got to level 22 on my alt Titan. At what level will I be able to start doing house of wolves story missions?
Join up.
I think they're 28? Could be mistaken.

Ill see if I can up my Warlock to 34 but Im good for any time.
Still feel void Black Hammer would've been a respectable Exotic. That White Nail perk is so special, it's weird to have it be Legendary.
Some of the HoW offerings look interesting. The fusion sniper and Lord shotgun might be proper exotics, can't wait to try them!
Whoever gets here first.

This is what I fear what will happen to me too. As soon as I get home from work I'll buy exotic engrams in hopes of getting the new helmets. But this is a dark path one cannot return from and I will spend everything to get them.
1 level makes no difference, you don't notice proper difference in Iron Banner until you are 4-5 levels below and the difference then is what used to take two shots to kill will now leave the enemy with a sliver of health instead of killing them. Beside most people who play will be 33 I believe.
What you need in ToO: Bubblebr (or Sunbro), Thorn and a sniper

I'm looking forward to how connection based matchmaking will work. Please let my neighbors suck. Pleeeaase.
This is why I'm waiting until Sunday to start.
Woooo labor day weekend.

Exactly. But instead we got No Land Beyond.
We definitely need some more void exotics next time. Maybe when the Vex-themed DLC hits.

Seriously. Then maybe I'll be able to do this thorn bounty on my Titan.

i've dismantled all PoE reward "queens" legendaries i've gotten, they just give 1 Mote of Light and some weapon parts.

It's been said but the Treasure key system is horrible. I get that Bungie wanted to design a system to force more players to stand around in the public spaces for longer but the drop rates on the keys are terribly low.
I got my one key and I'm gonna get my guaranteed drop from level 35 PoE and then after that I'm giving up on going for keys anymore.
Do the exotic bounties drop from the treasure key chest? That would majorly stink...

I think he was asking about the armor / weapon you can buy with a core.
And that's a damn good question!
Jinjo

I think he means the Fallen themed guns/armor (not the queen-stuff) you can obtain?
We need someone daring enough to test this. That way I can buy that crappy AR and get an etheric light.
Actually, I might just try this.
Edit: Or maybe someone with a twitter account can tweet Bungie/Deej...
I'm down. Still room?
Off the final boss' death I was told.
Perfect time to stomp regular Crucible

Nice! Glad you guys got it done after I had to go. It looks like the strat was the same when we tried earlier. Did you guys change anything?
Yeah I like the new vanguard sanctioned six, they look pretty sweet. The perks on them are sweet too. As an avid last word user rapid handcannon reload and fast ball for easy tripmine placement is awesome. Will ascend for sure.
I wish I had recorded our full run.
Anyway, here's Cosmo, Sushi, and I successfully beating Skolas: http://youtu.be/5ylP8XnfnQU
And here's us coming so close in our third attempt:
http://youtu.be/gjY4ucoFioY
First attempt, we barely made it out the door when he one shotted all three of us. Second attempt, I found that Servitor, killed the servitor, died and got revived, and lasted for about two minutes before learning the hard way about another mechanic.

Well after three days of binge playing: 3 characters through all stories, bounties, and lvl 32 PoE and all up to lvl 33.
One character through PoE lvl 34 (took us about an hour and a half to figure it all out). We were struggling in the 4th arena without a bladedancer when all the sudden the game glitched out and enemies wouldn't come out of the doors but the mine still appeared. W/e we'll take it.
Got my Hawkmoon, a nice new fusion rifle, and ZERO KEYS minus the freebies. I know it doesn't matter much, but considering I played for like 20 hours and opened somewhere near 50 chests and didn't see one is just bad design. They should do it like Diablo III where the longer you go without seeing a legendary the more likely one is to drop.

Need one more for PoE 35. Titan preferred.

Still thinking treasure key drops PER WEEK should be:
~Reward for completion of all 6 Petra Bounties
~Guaranteed drop at first Ether Chest opened
~Xur sells one (max of one) for 15 coins
As someone else suggested, make it so that your chance of getting one goes up after each Ether Chest you open fails to yield one (resets once you get it). Also if they'd be doing this, give a hard cap of 5 or 6 keys you can earn per character per week so you don't give an unfair advantage to those who have the time (and patience, lol) to farm for them endlessly.

I'm still unclear on what you get in a big chest after your first exotic roll. I know someone must have tried it by now. ;}

That sucks, Grim.
To be honest, I know you guys are salty about Xur, but considering I'm stuck up here in Vermont with no PS4, I'm just so happy he didn't sell Gjallarhorn!
Basically it boiled down to the following:
1) 1 player needed to stay by the stairway where the Servitor spawns so that player can aggro Skolas. The key was to get Skolas to constantly shot so that he is slowly walking to reduce the chance of him teleporting, which would allow us to have clear shots at a distance, which was a big issue when you, me, and zewone was trying earlier
2) I don't think the video was able to show it, but at one point, one rocket hit Skolas so hard that it pushed him a few meters back which gave use more breathing room to shot more rockets before he did his teleport up close. That was, in my opinion, the game changer.
3) Once the mine round started zewone, who as at the stairs needed to run straight to the objective and when possible provide some supporting fire while the other two kept shooting.
Random queens weapon. Roll at exotic weapons and armor.
That would be 9 guaranteed keys per week: that is *way* too much.
If you guys really want weekly guaranteed keys, I would only give one per character, either on completion of the 6 bounties from Petra, or when opening a PoE small chest for the first time.
Your focus should be getting to level 32 by getting one exotic armor (maybe from xur) and new legendary gear.
Honestly I'd just start by playing through the house of wolves story content and it'll probably happen naturally. After that if you still aren't 32 you can start collecting vanguard or crucible marks by doing strike playlists or crucible which you can then use to buy any missing gear. After that you are all caught up to us.
Replay raids if you want for their weapons/gear but not required.
