From what it looks like, it seems as though the first reply got the Titan solar super.
There are so many destiny haters that don't really even have a clue what the game is like at the current state.
If you can't ascend any further, that would basically do it.
I said this on another forum, but whoever buys the Digital Collector's Edition is a sucker, you're literally being charged the same for less.

I'm getting back into this game after like a six month hiatus. Now that I'm back, I find myself lost among all the new currencies and items they've added to the game, and I'm finding myself stuck.
I'm currently a level 28. What's the fastest way to continue leveling up? Before I stopped, I was able to perform the highest level Weekly Strike and Daily Strikes, which provided me with good ascendant materials. But since they changed the levels to 26, 30, and 32 (or something like that), I can only compete at the lowest level and I don't receive the same amount of materials as I used to.
I've found a few new pieces of armor that have Roman numerals I or II (I'm assuming that these refer to the first and second expansions). I guess I just need to focus on these and ignore the original pieces of Legendary armor I have? But that still leaves me in a problem of gathering the necessary pieces of ascendant material to level them up completely.
Any tips for someone trying to get back into this game? I'm going to play again with my brother tonight, but after we do the Daily and Weekly Strikes, I have no idea what I can do after that.
EDIT: Also, on my weapons I noticed an option to upgrade them to their highest Year 1 level. What does this mean?

Or the Wolfpack rounds with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you?
I think the physical one is a good value. I mean not for us, but for someone looking to buy in? You're getting a GOTY equivalent of the game with some goodies which you may or may not want (Steelbook, a Strange Coin, some art) and in-game cosmetics for only US$20 premium.
At launch, the Digital Guardian edition made sense because it was a discount on the season pass. You were paying extra over the base game because it included 2 DLC expansions.
Now there's a physical Legendary edition (Game+all DLC). The digital equivalent is US$20 more expensive because it gives you 1 emote and class item per class + 3 shaders? C'mon.
All special editions of media are for suckers. Doesn't mean I haven't bought a few though.

I know
I tried to believe in GAF. I tried
And thanks, I went for the 'intriguing' strategy with the title
I can join, psn biggy70686
lol true.
Is there some place to get the expansion pass cheaper or is my best bet just to try and score some Xbox credit below retail and buy it digitally?
I haven't played any of these expansions and wanted to beat that content before the new stuff comes out in the fall, it looks like I'd actually be paying more money if I buy that digitally now as it's $80. Both digital editions on their own are [35(out now) + 40(this fall)]=$75

Great. Join me biggy.
The whole pricing thing is a shitshow.
Should be:
The Taken King: $40
Expansions I & II + The Taken King: $50
Destiny + Expansions I & II + The Taken King: $60 *Digital/Physical
The Collectors Edition: $80 *Physical

Thanks for the help Drizzay! It was good fun playing with you again! Most of all I'm happy I got my elder cipher. Now the waiting game begins...

If anyone is looking for more for a 35 PoE, let me know. I need to roll the dice for a chance at something Void.

Gonna start doing nightfalls. Whos in?
I'm not about to spend extra to rebuy vanilla Destiny and the two DLCs. As of right now I'm just getting the standard edition unless Bungie comes out and makes a cheaper CE version that doesn't make you rebuy content.

Ok. Fr sent as well as invites
Have you beaten it today yet? I have and I'm looking to do it again. You need a good group who communicates with each other.

Anyone want to do PoE 34?
I'd be down to join you guys, communication is key for 35 now *As it should have been before.

Always good to see lurkers emerge from the woodwork! Hopefully everyone that visits this thread feels welcome to throw out some posts. Don't let Nami bogart the whole thing (Kappa).
No idea if you're still around or what time zone you are but I'd be happy to do a newbie friendly VoG tonight if there's enough interest. Always feel free to shoot me a PM as well, sometimes I can be forgetful when there's too many Destiny things going on
Awesome, I'll keep that in mind. This has always seemed like a good community so I'm looking forward to getting some Raids in with fellow gaffers.

What exotic armor do you have? you can bring a piece of that up to max light level with an exotic shard, probably should do a helmet, then buy an armor piece from the vanguard vendor (maybe a chestpiece) , if that doesn't get you to 32, take a quick run through crota raid to hopefully fill out any gaps. then start doing Prison of Elders. you can get an armor core from PoE level 32 so you can buy gauntlets from variks, which i think should get you to 33, and if you run prison of elders level 34 you'll get an etheric light which you can use to ascend a pair of boots to get you to 34. Thats just off the top of my head
the roman numerals denote whether the item in question was introduced as part of the dark below or the house of wolves.

Anyone for nightfall? I'm doing the daily crucible till someone shows up.

I just came back recently as well.
Let's see.
lvl 32 you can get to easily by using vendor stuff by using vanguard or crucible marks. I and II means which DLC they're from. Wear the II stuff, they're superior most of the time. For your original legendary armor, you need to ascend them using a material called etheric light that can only be gotten in the POE raid lvl 34 or a lucky drop from nightfall. Don't worry about ascendant shards, the II legendary gear comes fully leveled in light levels so you dont need materials to upgrade them again.
Just do raids like VoG, Crota and get your lvl 32 gear to do Prison of Elders. Once you can do 34 and 35, you'll be able to reach lvl 34 easily in no time. Also etheric lights can be used to boost your gear to their highest attack level to keep them relevant so you can keep favourites like fatebringer around.

Okay, that vidoc got me sorta hyped. Dammit Bungie, why your vidocs always gotta be this awesome.
TTK looks interesting (the pricing does not), but at this point I'm feeling like I'll wait to see what it actually contains and how it is tecoeved before jumping in. The way they've been going it seems like I should just wait until there are further expansions because there will be some mechanism to bring me up to whatever the current level is. A bit tired of the exclusive content as well.
I'd be lying though if I didn't say it does look intriguing.
Unrelated, updated Skolas fight is better, but kind of hate the devouring essence. I wish there were multiple ways to get rid of it. Take it from an ally but also give it back to the fallen by melee, the stronger the enemy the longer your team is clear. If you hit Skolas is could take a bigger chunk of his health, risk/reward for getting a little more personal.
