Did my first strike today (level 22) and I have to say, it wasn't very enjoyable. The boss just took forever and was an absolute bullet sponge, the fight wasn't interesting or challenging, it was just long. Are they all like this?

Wow. Datto thinks the best parts of the HoW progression system are its biggest problems. He wants Bungie to get rid of the "ascension thing" so that people will be more excited about the new loot. He ends the video with "please don't hate me" lol.

The ascension thing is a very good and clever mechanism.
Bungie has been WAY too generous on etheric lights, though, they should have made it so we could only get one or two max per week.

Were you with randoms? It's usually not fun with randoms.

Hell no.

I'm excited about getting new loot but at the same time I like actually having a little bit of control on how/what I level and what to upgrade.

If I'm having a bitch of a time getting specific boots to lift my light level I like that I can boost the ones I have until I get the ones I want so that I'm not missing out on anything

Congrats 9-0 Mercury to...

Gunawi

You two deserved... really nice runs... some tense comebacks... one loose.

At the end I started to train some new sniper skills... loved it.

PS. If I had the mercy :D but I already got to Mercury sometimes and I got the last helmet I wanted.

Thanks for the run thomaz and fig. Too bad you didn't have enough coin to get the boons. Definitely up for one more run with my Titan with you guys if interested later tonight.

Datto's opinions on the game in general are really not that interesting. He has a very particular outlook that just doesn't really jive with me.

We would be excited about the new loot if Bungie managed to make it better than the old loot. Ascending gear with etheric light is my only motivation to run Prison of Elders.

Only Trials weapon I haven't got so far is the shotgun, but it's worthless to me.

Need that solar Jewel, but I will settle for a Six Dreg Pride at this stage.

Same here fig.... same here. Any solar hand cannon will do

Does anyone have Gatekeeper CP?

I want to do Zoba's weapon part farming method before Brother Vance stops selling to me tomorrow.

I also have Crota HM CP if anyone is up for a quick (hopefully) kill.

Normal Mode:
Gravity Bow (Hunter), Arc Storm (Warlock), Flaming Hammer (Titan)

Heroic Mode:
3 new Weapon types. 1 New Primary, Sidearms fully realized, Heavy "Ripple Laser" weapon.

Nightfall Mode:
Reach Space Battles are coming to Destiny

All text based rumors. No media to really confirm anything.

Now you got me hyped.

This is exactly how I feel. I've only kept a few new weapons and mainly because you can reroll the perks, it makes them interresting to me. I have no reason to get rid of a lot of older gear and would rather spend the etheric light to upgrade them.

Rocket Launchers, Machine Guns, Shotguns, Fusion Rifles, Auto Rifles, Snipers and Pulse Rifles are now open to a million perk roll combinations that outclass our old stuff unless you got lucky before with a 1/1000 roll.

Hand Cannons are a special case because Fatebringer was already perfect and can't be improved upon. Similarly, with scouts the best you can do is get a Vision of Confluence with no element.

For everything else you can now find the archetype you want and then roll it to your taste. Ascending is neat but I don't feel it negates the value of the new re rollable stuff.

Ran into a team teabagging us in Trials this weekend, so Rubenov had to get some revenge.
