Lol, what's up Colonel?
Allowed myself some playtime this evening, but I have a deadline for a first draft tomorrow.
A week in and already a deadline. All cool though, just have to get used to working after two months off, but those letters in front of my name will not get there by themselves

Admittedly I seem to be having worse luck than average for this, and I'll spare you any further complaining from me about it, but this is absolutely, unquestionably the least fun I have had playing Destiny since launch. I'm using both Keen Scout and a Helium detection ghost. Any time I note a chest nearby or a Public Event starts I have to remind myself that even though it'd actually be more enjoyable to hit them, I'd actually be "wasting time" that could be wasted looping around for mode nodes.
It is inexplicably bad with no upside. It is exactly the kind of thing I would tell people in a heartbeat not to do if it was frustrating them the way it is me, except that in this particular case the reward is so strong and unique that I am compelled to force myself through it. Awful. At this rate I'll be at this for another 3 hours.

Buy legendary heavy engram from the Tower Cryptarch and pray for a 310 Truth or Thunderlord.

Here is some very good advice on that from a few pages back (step 2 for you):
Sorry for the accidental DP!

Sounds like you'll need a break soon.
Why not take some time off and and relax tonight

Has this happened to anyone? I'm terrified of his engrams
But I already have 310 Truth and Thunderlord, both from King's Fall [exotic chest + Oryx loot chest]

Earth wasn't so bad as I just went in a quick loop around skywatch so was forever moving between spinmetal and was also waiting (and waiting and waiting) for the Warsat event but The Moon was beyond bad for me and took forever, I'm dreading starting Mars tomorrow

Yeah! They should just make a real story that is in the game instead of tiny bits of text which make it easy for them to be lazy -_-
I got a 310 Truth from an legendary Heavy engram that I got from a Vanguard Heroic strike... and I infused it into my solar legendary sword lol.
When I have nothing to spend marks on I'm gonna be buying that legendary heavy engram.

You could still use a duplicate for infusion purposes... Not easy to find 300+ heavies for infusion right now.
Longshot: Does anyone have Normal Gatekeeper?
Need that Glimmer.
Need that Glimmer.
They give you a little bit of rep. The VIP ones are typically the best to run, but you learn which ones are quick (Steppes, Divide, Mothyards) and which ones can become a chore (lots of Mars.)
You get reputation. That's about it. If you are doing other things in the area the sure. Otherwise I wouldn't.
Well there is that, need level that SS closer to 310. Hmmm... how to avoid saltiness when that engram turns into 265 legendary LMG/RL.
Grimoire kiosk BOOM problem solved.
And get someone to read that shit as well, like an audio-book while you go around doing things.
Silly as it may seem I am pretty averse to using exploits, even for something as mundane as this. I also think, as tedious as it is to run all over the place, it would bum me out even more to run back and forth to the same node 100 times. I do take the general point that I shouldn't complain if I'm not willing to make it easier on myself though. Just feels like I'm "doing it as intended" and that really sucks in this case.
heh yeah Helium has always been the worst for me for some reason. I have no problem looping for relic iron in comparison

I just turned in 50 hadium flakes and worms pore and weapon parts to Eris and nothing happened after I got an antiquated rune from her... I guess just collect calcified fragments even though nothing tells me to?

Yo gaf, we need help with t3 coo. We already 3 but nobody is showing up. How can we get 2 groups together? I never tried this.
t3 CoO is cake this week. You can do it with 2.

I'm coming up on 150 marks now. Thinking about grabbing the Villiane (FWC pulse) but I know my Trials primary will probably be Red Death.
Maybe I'll just save them incase Trials/IB Gear is worth buying.

What the fuck
Come at me motherfuckers I will fight for the Grimoire to be in the game.
A possibly good thing about the new Trials matching system is that if they are always matching zero win people with zero wins, and one win people with one win, then it's probably going to be easier to get to five or seven wins than it used to be...
I don't think you buy Trials gear, I think it drops from match wins. Also I think you are supposed to get your IB gear as drops (although you can also buy some). I guess we will find out next week.

i'm in if you haven't filled the last spot yet. completed the entire raid once, light level 303. PSN: hypoetical
let me know!
For me it's far more important that matchmaking prioritises connection quality over amount of wins. Having e.g. 8 wins and going against 8 wins team can get to territory of real fuckery if enemy team is red barring. At that point match is out of your hands and you will need metric ton of luck to do well against that team.
Always prioritise connection quality so everyone is green bar or yellow at worst!
Also on IB gear, as long I can purchase those new dope emblems I don't mind if rest of the loot is RNG drops from matches :b
Edit: Hi mom, I'm at top of the page!

Best way to get an extra group is to wait for a random blueberry and get them to invite more people.
Tier 3 is easy this week if anyone has an exotic sword. 3 R2 attacks with the Raze-Lighter kills the wizard.

I don't think the problem is necessarily that the grimoire cards aren't in the game (although it is a monumentally stupid design decision. Just look at Bioware games, nobody minds a Codex). The problem is bigger than that. Bungie simply doesn't know how to weave that kind of narrative - and to be fair it's hard to do in an FPS game, but vanilla Destiny's story really was legendarily bad.
Bungie's great at writing lore and backstory, but not so good at actually telling a compelling story in-game. They got a whole hell of a lot better with TTK but it's really still just alright, it's just that "alright" is such a massive leap over what was in vanilla that it seems like the actual best thing ever.
And we're set! Be ready guardians. A little less than 4 hours from now (8pm CT) we'll set off to the dreadnaught.
A reminder is that you have a mic and be friendly/patient.

Well just having a option IN the game is miles better than asking (mostly) console gamers to leave the console to read the lore (which is fucking great).

Thing is they've been doing a decently mediocre job at it already. Weaving weapons into the lore, areas, ships. Weapons that are weaved into previous guardians, who ventured out to the various areas. The story itself is different from the lore itself, but that doesn't mean the lore should be on some crappy website like those shitty prima guides from the 90's with their stupid 'Get the most out of this guide by visiting www.bullshit.com!'. Put the goddamn grimoire in the game-I'm not going to go to a website to read it. Only what, 1% of the community will go to the website. If you put it in the game, then on downtime there's an incentive to go in and read it through there.
Fucking Bungie.

Can help too.
There's a site that does it. Or do you mean if you've picked them up on different characters?
