There hasn't been any news on the raid yet, correct? Is it likely to be raising Charlemagne's Vault?

We have concept of this if I remember correctly.

I'm just now repicking this up from launch. I'm a level 16 just working thru the avenue missions right now. At what point should I grab the expansions?

As soon as you decide you're enjoying yourself enough to justify the cost, hehe. At lower levels, the expansions include a handful of new gear you can potentially get but it's pretty minor stuff. Additional bounties and story missions will make leveling up (and leveling up your gear) quicker. But the real value in the expansions is in endgame activities and high-level gear. You can make it all the way to level 32 without the expansions if you so desire, and see if you enjoy the VoG raid, weekly strikes (Nightfall/Heroic), Crucible, etc. enough to want more. Or if you're already sure, just go for it asap.

This is "your prowess is such that we suggest handicapping yourself with the enclosed item"

What is the Nightfall this week?

Thanks Berried! I'll be on tonight and I'll get the group together. I wouldn't mind running a raid as a change of pace but I'm up for anything. I'll be looking to do 1 more NF before 8:30 if anyone's free.

Did anyone see the Wolf helmet that the Hunter gets in the trailer similar to the Warlock's Ram?

Can't wait to see what it does.

Omnigul, void burn. The lack of arc burn is what makes it soloable, though it was still tough. Patience was the most potent weapon. Well, that and Truth.

I did it as a test to see if I could do it, so on that front I came away satisfied. Which is good since I didn't come away with anything else of value. :lol

Did one run of Skolas: Remixed this morning, imo it's much improved. We didn't bother trying the 42 Horn Salute strat but just played it out nice and easy. Cleared adds along the way and focused on each mine wave as it appeared, took ~10 minutes. It felt like the encounter was "working as intended" since you had to stick together as a team for a long time but could survive more reasonably.

Sure it takes a few more minutes than one perfect Burn kill, but it'll be way more consistent. If you understand the encounter, and especially if you clear adds along the way, it's very manageable to clear Skolas without wiping. The only catch is if they add some horrible modifier like Grounded, and Small Arms would also be interesting since we still used Horns as the only major DPS source. Brawler and Juggler this week are total non-factors.

Overall: 2 thumbs up. GG Bungie.

So glad to hear that. I'm looking forward to actually engaging in the mechanics rather than playing synth cooldown the game.

This is good news. I was ready to give up doing the lvl 35, between no drops and just the pain in the a$$ the encounter was.

Back to the grind for a Solar HC!
