lvl 33 wont be a problem, full upgraded weapons and gears are required, team-mates will be less pressurized.
Very true. Except maybe for Arc burn when the Thunderlord needs to eat.

I'm so happy about some of the weapons I've held on to since the beginning, but it's time to say goodbye to some stuff.
Really glad I held on to this Fair and Square though. The shit is probably my best pulse rifle.
Damn you Bungie for making me part with my stuff.

Yep.
That's why I started doing some vanguard dragon strikes, to do a bit of low-level PVE in which I have no problem equipping something else then the Horn.
I will also probably try some PoE 28 with Universal Remote at one point...
Maintenance, and 4 different platforms being involved. Also, the quoted time always has buffer room in it. The actual expected work time is lower, but you give yourself buffer in case something comes up.
WoW averages similar downtimes weekly (and they also give you extra hours on your sub to counter it), so Destiny actually has less downtime from maintenance than most other MMO style games.
edit: usually maintenance means swapping out bad servers, drives, ram etc that are near failing or have failed, exporting all data to backup, and rebuilding the database as all the swapped and replaced servers come back online and re-sync to each other.

I have hard mode gorgon checkpoint if you want it. If I can get online since there is maintenance?

That's stupid. We all did Lv 34 as 33's in the first week. It's not that much harder at all.

I ascended my trusty Shadow Price yesterday and tried to use it in the Weekly. It's fucking shit.
Thanks, Bungie.
Thanks, Bungie.
Lol. I guess that's one way to use up them Etheric Lights.

That's the sad truth of how badly they nerfed the Vex. VoC trumps it easily.

The only time I ever use the vex is during the 20 fusion rifle kills
"WE"VE WOKEN THE HIIIIVE"
Hey silver, thanks so much for the help last night, really appreciate it. I was so tired by the end that during the last 5 minutes I actually fell asleep for a few seconds lol.
Sorry about wiping a million times

lol It's cool, Noomi. Don't worry.
Try to finish some of the bounties before we go on with the story tho, so we don't run into level caps.

Oh yeah, I should be able to do about 3 bounties later this evening, hopefully that will put me at level 10
I'll also try and throw in some crucible in the mix to get some xp that way as well.

The Thorn nerf cries are funny to me when you think Bungie already tried to stealth nerf Thorn (DoT from 7 per tick down to 4) once (sure they called it an 'accident'), but that got such a backlash from the entire Destiny community they quickly turned it back. How does it feel to live in the world you yourself created Guardians?

I've always been pro-nerf.
Yeah, my Vex is literally just a bounty gun. I see no point in using it for solar burn because Gjallarhorn is far more effective. It's sad. It used to be so good.

VoC still useful in PVE but sorta worthless in PVP.
I think Hawkmoon is way more deadly compared to Thorn. The DoT filter is annoying as fuck but at least I don't get one shot by the Thorn. A good Hawkmoon user pisses me off lol

My remedy for this was to ascend the Hunger of Crota to give myself a poor man's Gally thus allowing me to use primary or special exotics. The Gally will always be there if needed.
I love using an agility build with my hunter in combination with Radiant Dance Machines and the Mida Multi-tool.
Specialist + solar burn and it feels like new. Telling, however, that it requires a 350% boost to feel powerful.

I cleaned out my vault last night of all legendary auto rifles, rocket launchers, pulse rifles, and fusion rifles that weren't "special". Like the ones you get from the raids, Trials or iron banner. Legend arise that in some way I "earned."
I wonder if some day I'll regret it....hmm...

Tried Jumper on Patrol.
Everything was strange.
Can't get used to it this far into the game
You can do it Javier! I have like 1500 hours or something and I switched a few weeks ago and it took about a whole weekend of events to get it in my head. It's fun!
I first switched doing Nightfalls with Drizzay and Unstable and I'd randomly use my Titan bubble in the middle of no where. And then in PoE I'm trying to jump but instead I'm melee'ing. It's funny and the mistakes help you.
I'd switch back to Default a couple times during serious events when I wasn't fully comfortable then put it back on after that and kept it that way.
R3 for melee was the most difficult but after a few blade dance and melee fails, it stuck.
Yea, I tried Hunger in Trials and IB and it's so much worse than the Horn.
I can't stand R3 for melee.
Why there isn't a Halo-eque control scheme blows my mind. We played with circle (B) to melee for years and it's not even an option here. I got used to R1, but I'd feel way more comfortable with it on circle.

Also, Silver, get a spare wired headset!!!
Uhh, wow. That would be insanity.
It's a primary weapon which guarantees a kill in two headshots while aiming and at long range. If that's not broken I don't know what is.
TLW being two shot is far more difficult being hip fire based and exceedingly tricky at range. Hawk moon will only do it some times.
Adding ammo to Thorn was necessary. Improving stability and reload speed at the same time seems excessive. They can't roll it all back but it needs to be way less accurate at long range.
It's weird that there isn't a pure Halo-type layout, but R3 for melee is much more natural for me. I can't imagine using one of the face buttons instead.
I feel like singing a love song to trials of Osiris. Best thing to happen to Destiny, wish it was all week long.
It's absolutely broken. Not only does it have all this it also throws that green goup on the screen making it harder to see. The range of the thorn is ridiculous.

Good morning, ladies and gents! How was your weekend? It was nothing but rain for me. Well, it was clear for most of the day yesterday before it rained for like 30 minutes after I came back for the podcast. Clear enough to jump into my uncle's pool. Any of you Destiny dads got anything good?
It's a GREAT mode. Can't get enough of it. It would be nice to see some more consistent connections though.
Not a fan of either stick clicking as sometimes I push the stick too hard and melee the air.
Hated that in CoD
I equip my Necrochasm from time to time for shits and giggles.
But Gjallarhorn is equipped for 95% of the time in everything PvE.
Yup out of 20 games we lost one and it was because lag was god aweful. People would revive out of nowhere. It was almost like they were lag switching. I wish if lag is that bad Bungie would just stop the match and divide the teams up with no loss handed out.
I can't do it either. It's not precise enough for me. Makes me crazy.

Please don't remind me of this. I still feel bad about it. lol
Also, this dropped when doing daily crucible yesterday:
Perfect right out of the box.

It would stop people using the holy trinity though, if only for that mode.

No this was after the exotic patch I think. A patch with other balance changes changed Thorn's DoT tick from 7 to 4. It was deemed an accident by Bungie after the community got upset by the stealth nerf and it was quickly reverted. Also, it's definitely broken, just pointing out that we created this world lol.
Also, keep up with that Jumper. The key is not to switch back to default, don't give in.
That would certainly be a relief. Almost every opponent I faced in ToO yesterday was using Thorn/Shotgun. Very annoying and boring.

Question, what am I supposed to do with these tokens if I already have all the things from house of judgment?
I thought I saw something about consuming them for XP, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, you can consume for a tiny amount of rep.
