They're Warlock gauntlets, nothing special either

Yeah I'm not liking The Chaperone at all unless I'm missing something with it.
Yep! That quest is much more tolerable in a fireteam!
I was looking at my Touch of Malice and realized you need 30 Hadium Flakes to fully upgrade it... Looks like the grinding for this thing never ends...

Any raid teams getting put together now-ish?
Waiting for Taken to spawn is taking forever. There's like 5 other guys waiting with me lol

Took us a while to get the timing and the teamwork down.
Got him down to 1% once and I fucked up by jumping in the puddle too. ><

the Chaperone is the No Land Beyond of shotguns
I'm not even bothering with it since new Primary Exotics are currently vastly more useful

I can join. Sent friend request
Ha is it really that bad? It didn't seem that good from the description of the perks, but I was withholding judgment until there was more time to use it.
Finally done. Has to wait a full ten minutes. Thankfully, had a PE happen while we waited.

didn't seem that bad to me.. Shoots fast and reloads fast
nothing special tho
Wait, really? Kyoufu lied???
Uh, I'm not entirely sure whether that's really a Red Bull quest. It's from the shipwright. The quest is called A Nod from Cayde.

This is what turned Destiny into my favorite game ever to simply the best game ever, full stop.

Oh I was ready.
Primary Telemetry + 20 Motes = 0 to max from the get go. I had enough Hadium saved too. I'll need more for my other two Swords though, only have like 10 left
Man I had some good luck last night. Dumped some Glimmer into New Monarchy rep before bed and got both a very nice Antinomy Hakke SR (which is a little redundant with the King's Fall SR I got last night, but still a really nice weapon that has Counterbalance, Feeding Frenzy and Perfect Balance) and a 300 Burden of Proof shotgun (that I may wind up just using for infusion fuel but has both Shot Package and Final Round).
Do all the King's Fall weapons have Cocoon as a base perk? By itself it is a nice perk - works really well on the SR just due to how you use SRs in PvE - but if you could get a loadout with these in all three slots it would be really wicked.

Nightfall last week gave me 12 strange coins. This week? 10 strange coins. 
Seriously.

This nightfall was hard man. The void 1000 yard stare was the real mvp of it. 50k+ crits

Btw Court of Oryx counts as a Public Event for Grimoire - even if you fail or abandon midway.
There's no real reason to care about Grim but for those still looking to knock out at least the remaining Year 1 cards, that's a major speed boost.
If you were so inclined you could pop a Stolen or Antiquated, abandon and repeat (it won't consume your Rune). Or actually do CoO for a super fun time making a billion engrams an hour

Great raid with the guys just now. Started off with jumping fails & chest shenanigans. Smashed
twice because Zoltan disconnected before the killshot. Beat
in enrage time. Epic stuff. Then ended it with more jumping fails and chest shenanigans lol.
are up later this week!

Same. Since graduation in May I have been to prioritize other things in life like: work, fitness, and sleep.
I still haven't beat MGS V and I don't even have a sword yet in Destiny

Looking to set up a blind raid for Friday night or Saturday (CST), currently I'm a 294 'lock hoping to be 295 by then lol! Please PM if interested as thread moves too fast and I cannot follow it
Reposting from earlier
Most likely be Friday night around 6-7 CST, space for 3-4!Fuck me, bottom again!
Couldn't resist after seeing it in person and bought the PS4 Limited Edition.. dear god it's so purdy!
The gameworld is amazing, it took like an hour or so to actually get used to having so much detail on screen (went from 3 to 4) that I kept getting sidetracked looking at walls.
I've never noticed before that the hive's eyes actually glow green in the dark! Saw it yesterday when I saw a light behind a rock and found an acolyte crouching there.
My love for this game is at an all time high now!

Same here. No sword either.
Looks like the game stops rounding up your light level once you hit 290. Yesterday, I was light level 284. I calculated the average of all my light at that time to be 283.4:
Primary-290
Special-292
Heavy-277
Ghost-280
Helm-296
Arms-290
Chest-294
Legs-286
Class-285
Relic-244
After last night's Court of Oryx session and Nightfall, my light level rose to 291. However the calculated average of my equipped gear is 291.9 Here is my gear now:
Primary-290
Special-292
Heavy-283
Ghost-280
Helm-296
Arms-290
Chest-294
Legs-296
Class-298
Relic-300
So while the game was willing to give me credit for being 284 when I was actually 283.4; it keeps me at 291 even though my average is 291.9. Interested to see what others are experiencing. This would explain some of the slow-down we experience at the higher levels.

That's a good advice.Btw Court of Oryx counts as a Public Event for Grimoire - even if you fail or abandon midway.

Also, was wondering while doing some earlier today: do regular ogres that can spawn in there also count for the grimoire?
I don't see why they would not, and I still need the last tier of this one... ^^
This is likely because the contribution of each slot is not even. Weapon slots are 12% instead of 10%, and the ghost/class/artifact slots are 8%.

not much, it got me up about a third of a rank I think. The bounties give you 1k weekly. not too shabby.

I thought I heard that some items are weighted slightly more than others when it comes to determining your level? I think it was a reddit thread someone linked that had the calculations. This might be why it seems to have inconsistent rounding.
