Sorry for hijacking your comment and running it to off-topic, but can we expect some Light level details for IB and ToO before they start? Stuff like is there light level cap [e.g. no benefit to be over 300?] and what light level loot will be from these events.

My go to weapons for IB/Trials will be.
Build 1 on smaller maps.
THE LAST WORD
1000 Yard stare or Eirene RR4(Luck in the chamber) but it has Shortgaze and I love it.
Ruin wake or Vertigo.
The last word is still a great gun once you learn how to control the new version of it. Its all about hipfire, dont even bother aiming down the sights. I just love this gun.
Seeing that LUKE SMITH is reading here now. NO THE LAST WORD SUCKS, give the last word some of the accuracy back when aiming down the sight please
You guys did nerf it to much there IMO.
Build 2 on larger maps
The Villainy or Smite of merain
Conspiracy Theory
Ruin wake or Vertigo

I was actually surprised playing mayhem clash over the weekend. I got stuck with a grenade, got shot a few times and survived lol. This subclass.
So, how is it possible that Trials isn't going to consist of mostly teams of Sunbreakers at this point?
Just try all combinations to pick up the the last exotic quest and see what happens.

Browsing my vault getting ready for IB and I see that I have a Conspiracy Theory D with Shot Package! Will pair nicely with Red Death.

Need to kill the Deathsingers in the raid, anyone available?
Lock it like it's hot.
Banner details?

Tbh im more curious about the PvE aspect. As its getting repetitive now.
Luke any news on Hard Mode or new strikes making it into the playlists?
Yeah that was exactly what I was just playing. I thought it was impossible to survive a flux stick + matador + blink combo. I thought wrong. Also I noticed players are getting very good at activating hammer time when they know they've been stuck with a nade.
Well you have the rest of us who focused leveling gear for the other characters.
Now just pray they don't patch shot package out tomorrow, before IB goes live.
Edit:
I expect 2x Sunbreaker + 1x Shadowstalker to be most common team comp. 2 godmodes and 1 to try and counter said godmodes.

Dumb question....but what is excitement over IB for? I took a long break from Destiny, and getting back into things I'm not certain what IB is.

Aw crap. I thought whatever they where doing to shotguns happened last week. Can it at least turn into rangefinder when they patch?

I mean, you could squash them and make it so they never get super. With a group of them with charged supers that's a hammer train to the finish line. The scary part is that you don't have to play particularly smart with HoS since it lasts so long and turns you into a damn tank, intelligent application is gonna be some scary shit. Craziest part to me is if they hear Golden Gun they can just wait it out lol
High level pvp with level advantages enabled with special new loot to drop randomly from matches.

Fastest way to do the Chaperone TLW part?
Equip on super and unequip once super is over.
only put on the last word with heavy/super then take off till you have heavy/super again.
Pray for bad people.

That happened to me too, Just complete the 25 crucible and 50 mayor kills, if you have the exotic sword quest for multiple swords on the same character, you only get 1 sword reforged, after you complete it you are going to get the real exotic quest for all the swords on that character.
I did the same with my warlock so I only had to do it once that part of the quest and then I got the exotic for Arc and void, do not delete your sword. if anything now you won't need to do crucible multiple times.

I don't know the specifics for this year, but in the past it has been an alternative way to get a few higher level pieces of armor. This would be helpful for people like me who haven't found time to do the raid yet, but always have an hour or so to play a few crucible matches. I'm hoping that there's at least 1-2 310 level items to get.
I'm hoping this is true. I'll work on it tonight.

Smooth ballistics and then Hip fire, hip fire, hip fire. The last word is still great. learn how to use it and you will see.
I have been using TLW for everything these last 2 weeks, Learning how the gun works and getting used to the recoil and the hip fire aim. The Aim assist is really nice on the hipfire.
Why are you against 310 items? I could use some 310 boots please.
Real talk: information like that isn't ever going to be something I post and additionally, I'm almost never going to respond to open Q&A either here on GAF (or on Twitter for the same reasons I described on a podcast I did recently).
I do appreciate people asking questions and caring, but I'm going to be straight up about expectation management surrounding me answering questions.

Anyone running raid tonight?

So that's the theme for King's Fall!
When Banner and Trial start its gonna be so much fun to read forums.
NaCl thru the roof
Gotta get me some of that IB GAF Train once it launches.
Just do PvP a few weeks and nothing else to get capped. Meh.

Because 310 would defeat the purpose of doing the Raid.

1.) You may have missed the beginning of the conversation from yesterday but everything I've been talking about is from the "initial perspective." All encounters become trivial once the strats are optimized and we're optimally geared. I don't care about challenge, just talking about the thought put into the design itself.
Supplicants are not a pure trash wave, they interact with mechanics in ways that were initially compelling. Sadly they weren't scaled well (spawn timers and locations, pathing movement and speed) so people figured out how to trivialize them by activating both plates. They're easily the weakest part of an otherwise brilliant encounter but at least the design is there. Golgi add waves have no design at all: thralls + cursed from bottom cave --> Adepts and acolytes from side doors and back caves then bottom cave. They're funneled into narrow corridors in a cramped boss room, that's it.
2.) I was just clarifying. There's more happening in the summoned fanatic waves than a pure ammo dump so it wasn't clear. "Running out of ammo when most enemies have dropped ammo in a green death pool that requires cleansing in their spawn location except they blow up if you get close" is interesting.
Once again it wasn't scaled well (or made lactose intolerant) so the interesting part falls away. I'm not arguing these are great designs, in fact they're some of the weakest parts of VoG. But some good flickers exist and they have enough freedom that players can make them more interesting. I realize I'm being nitpicky, but small details go a long way for me when comparing VoG and KF.

I could do with doing it on my Titan.
As expected. Just glad to have you around. I'm assuming this applies to R&B as well, though there is a precedent for accepting Phil Collins & Go West.
Thanks for taking the time to post.

You're all in on hip fire with TLW now, eh? I'll have to give it a try

What is "Presence of Ir Anuk" in the power the glyph phase of the raid? Does this require 6 players?

Wait for 300
If you can, wait.

I only got to 30 back in the day thanks to IB. Not everything has to revolve around the raid. It doesn't break anything to have 1-2 pieces during each IB event. It's great for johnny casual (like me).
The frustration is just gonna lead to everyone running a Sunbreaker. Like the Thorn/Shotgun situation. When one classes Super is able to survive certian things that other classs Supers can't it's kinda inevitable.
Ought to be fun. :\
If you think it would help you now I'd go ahead and decrypt it. If not then wait. Chances are it'll still be 290 though.

Luke can't answer, but the info is out there, though you'd be forgiven not knowing where. So here's Derek Carroll one of the Crucible Designers on twitter:
Its a chest and I already two exotic chests, so it can wait.
