I can join but I may not make 7pm, more likely 7:30. Haven't finished the raid yet but I finished up to the Daughters last week. I'm 297 on my Hunter.
If you find someone before then that's fine.
psn: kreepmode
edit: I should be able to make 7pm now.
A point I don't see brought up all that often is that while the hardcore or at least the motivated would indeed spend quite a lot of time and weapon parts getting true god-tier rolls... it was trivially easy to get a not-quite-but-almost-there roll with just a few tries. I never spent time trying to get literally perfect rolls on anything, but I rolled three or four times and got a Felwinter's with Shot Package and Aggressive Ballistics and called it a day. Didn't even care what the other perk was at that point...
And ultimately that's what got Crucible into the state it's in. Edge cases became the norm; the edge cases of those edge cases were in the hands of those who wanted them, and the normal was skewed beyond recognition. What's weird is that the patch notes totally nailed this on the head... but the actual changes to the super high range/high impact shotguns seemed modest at best. And now there are new ones...

No......
I think Shito said he couldn't hold more than two the other day. It wouldn't let him pick up the third.
Why four specifically?
To PS4 DGAF.
Tomorrow, the PS4 will be getting an update with community features to allow for large groups to engage with each other.
This feature was tested during the 3.00 firmware Beta, and has shown its self to be quite promising. Currently for the Beta testers, all community functions are offline, and no pre-planning/purging can occur. When the update goes live, I will most likely make a new group for Destiny Gaf to join.
To join, you will need some form of identification to be allowed to join. Most that post regularly I expect to have no issues getting in, but for those new, or less inclined to post/friend with others will be asked to PM a Mod, or myself for passage.
PM's should reflect your needs in the subject, and your PSN should be in the message for confirmation.
An example of a proper PM may look something like this.
Also, we will not be accepting friends of Gaffers for now, only DGaf members.
This may change if enough people wish for it. For now, it will be locked.
Any questions regarding Mod status, or anything else, feel free to PM me here, or on PSN: GutZ31

That really is the worst part.
With all of the screen effects, it's hard to judge the distance. I almost over shoot one, so I pull back a bit on the next and fall short.
I believe there are four total. Numbered 1 through 4 at the end.
Why would you need to have them all? That theory is so zaney. It specifically tells you to turn them to the gunsmith and that's fucked up if there was no forewarning to complete the quest. I still maintain you need to turn them all in and we're missing a piece to actually start the quest.
I had one in my inventory (mission) and I couldn't pick up a 2nd one... It went to the postmaster and I had to turn one in before I could get the other one from the postmaster.
edit: bc of the below post... maybe I had two in my inventory already?
I haven't had one drop for me in over a week, too. I was getting them about once every day or two right after the expansion came out.
Yep, can confirm this.
You can only hold two of them at the same time, it wouldn't let me pick a third one.

Those numbers don't mean jack because it's counting the amount of users who have booted Destiny but doesn't play much or quit.
If we're talking strictly active users in Crucible, it's close to impossible to not run into a God-roll guns.
You can only have two at a time in your inventory.
It was a crazy theory anyways. Just like the cult ghost thing being an intentional glitch to the vault of glass chest. I'm sure bungie likes their secrets and difficult time sink quests, but I don't think they intentionally try to make things unfair to the playerbase.Well there ya go jason. Conspiracy debunked

To everyone who replied, thanks for the help.
Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next few hours.

I edited. Make sure you read my last extra step!
HMM. I still think there's something strange about the process of turning them in. The timer is just as long as it is for dismantling gear! Why would they make it that way if not to give you a chance to reconsider?Well there ya go jason. Conspiracy debunked

If it wasn´t for me fucking up EVERY DAMN jumping section we could have been much faster.
Fun run. My best one so far.

I got 2, trying to get the other two.
You might be on to something, Jason.
Meanwhile, I'm at 182 Legendary Marks... what to spend them on, I wonder?
It is strange. I had pretty much the same thought you wrote in your article. Maybe it's a red herring? Bug?
Lol, oh no sector 618!! God help us...

Don't think it would be that complicated, as they don't drop again so majority of people would have messed up their chances of it if that was the case. Those are also Dark Age Relics, where as Golden Age Relics are required. I think it was 50 the interview said? Could be mistaken.
you can't hold more than two

While I'm happy for you, that gear is ugly as sin. Jeez.
Considering there's a bug with one of the vendor weapons that can crash your game, this being another bug doesn't seem very far-fetched.
Sleeper Simulant probably needs some kind of trigger. May be another daily.

lol after failing 4x on that one I guess I should take the hint. Maybe someday my luck will change...
These are some really OP encounter strats dude, you should spoiler tag them or else everyone will beat the raid no problem (Kappa).
Still sad about all our connection issues in that raid. Nothing worse to me than having to leave before the job is done. Hopefully I'll be around on Friday for a full run. Once people are familiar with it, KF only takes 1-1.5 hours to clear.
Totally agreed.
I'm looking to keep my light high or get dupes before infusing into something more eye pleasing.
Could be. The end of each relic has a number 1-4

Maybe because they are legendary items, and legendary items are all coded with that timer?
Are there any other legendaries you can turn in like that?
To me it clear you are supposed to give them to the gunsmith, there's no doubt about that, and since they don't drop after the fourth one for the moment it would screw so many people.
I'm thinking that the relics are tied to a Rasputin mission for the daily or possibly the saber strike as the nightfall. It's obvious that you don't need to hold all four for the simulant since you can only hold two. I think it just involves turning them all in and figuring out the last piece to the puzzle.

I was worried about that with the first one I turned in. I was like why is this taking so long? should I be doing this? hopefully we will find out tomorrow if there is anything special going on because a lot of people are going to hit gunsmith rank 4 tomorrow. we shall see
its got to be sleeper Simulant! those relics are fusion rifles after all, and they look like pocket infinity which was made by the man himself!
I want the Stranger to play a big roll in the next expansion and for Rasputin to be the next raid boss. with name like that, how can he not be a villian
Exactly. The numeric figure could be a code that translates the letters or vice versa.
Maybe you have to dismantle legendary fusion rifles to charge each relic.

Just finished the raid on my alt.
3 freakin' chest pieces and another pusle rifle.
Well, at least I get a sniper out of it...

I see this a lot. But what about First Curse? It is clearly a Gunsmith quest.
No worries man. RL life happens. I know that as well as anyone. Not sure what the connection problem was, but it stopped once we made you host, so we'll just plan on starting that way Friday night. Thanks again for your help man.
