VoG portals is still the way to go.
But yeah I found out 2500 glimmer nets you 4 weapon parts atleast. You get back your exotic shard too from dismantling. Weapon parts are definitely the most expensive resource now. Exotic shards are more plenty.

Strikes, surprisingly. With the Taken Ghost shell, since most of the strikes have a 'Taken' twist they naturally give me glimmer, so it just takes me popping the necessary supplement.
The blue engrams I get are another source, after 3-4 strikes it's a good 1000 glimmer from dismantling the crap.
I'm a monster ._.
Yeah you get an exotic shard back every time, and dismantling an exotic nets you 3 weapon parts, not 4 .-. I think if you level up the exotic you get up to 6 weapon parts, but I'm not bothering with that. Bungie took my weapon parts, but they won't take my motes.

Doing the daily
Motes are raining, though, now.
The buff to the public events is insane, you get SO MANY motes from them it's kinda crazy... It's probably the number one method to upgrade your factions now.

I'll probably leave it till Friday purely because I'm a bit ground out and I've been that screwed by RNG that one drop isn't going to make any noticeable difference. If things stay as they are with Golgoroth dropping all the gear that shouldn't be an issue level wise as i'm guessing he'll be 310 with Warpriest 305, sisters 315 and Oryx 320
Some clarification on how its going to work would be nice as we've never had this situation before (2 levels of gear drops)

no! I refuse to fall trap into it. Next week Bungie will come out and say 'Whoops we accidentally buffed the motes too much, we're reducing all mote gains by 66%, in order to help the player economy.'

Thinking to do the same although I'm thinking they might make it that you get a chance at a 300-310 drop and a 310+ one and not two 310+
Well they're not going to give us Double 310-320 weapon or armor drops... It will be interesting to see about the

I know it won't be double 310 stuff but it's a bit daft to drop -310 stuff, I don't even know why I'm procrastinating about it as it will all be shards or 310 drops anyway
The HM stuff is on planet destiny, nothing to write home about apart from getting max level, imo

finally hit level 5 on IB yesterday and, jesus christ, that pulse rifle wrecks in pvp, whoever didn't get it would have problem in the next ToO.
unless he got a good Bad Juju, find it very similiar playstyle, but without lock a exotic slot

I...completely forgot that was a thing now.
So there'll be no elemental damage primaries?
Just harrowed versions of the current guns?
That'd be disappointing if true. I was hoping they kept something exciting back for HM like with Crota

Waiting until Friday to raid, no sense in wasting your loot drop on another 300 Ghost. My Titan is 309 and as ready as possible anyway. I'd say "hopefully they don't pull a Scrota and make you run NM and HM each week for all loot" but there's no KF-equivalent of the Black Hammer so nobody would bother anyway.
Also waiting to do Nightfalls until they patch the drops or at least give another update. Weekly update said that change was coming soon.

I got 4 yesterday from dismantling a freshly bought Y2 Truth (needed it for sleeper stimulant questline)
There are no Y2 exotic legs yet bro.
Well, it never hurts to gamble at it. My main is HM raid ready anyway so nothing to gain specifically from doing NM this week aside from a light level or two. Which you'll have the potential for on friday too.
i plays game lol

I told my friends last night I'm going to wait till hard mode and attempt it. Normal mode has been a waste of time lately, receiving nothing but duplicate gear with worse stats. I might as well just do hard so I'm guaranteed higher level items/gear (assuming i can beat it lololol)
DrDrizzay101

Assuming your main character is close to 308-309, don't bother. We don't know exactly how the HM drops will work but better safe than sorry since there really nothing to gain from another NM run.
I've raided 3x every week and the crappy fusion rifle is my only 310, I won't gain anymore Light in NM raids.

Can't wait to run KF HM this week, me and my friends were thinking run NM upto Oryx and then move all shards out of our inventory so we get more shards ready for HM.
Or is it worth waiting til Friday just HM Humm decisons,decisons.

No kidding, the normal mode loot has been... not kind to me. Still missing any sort of helmet and a scout rifle.
I might leave my main (hunter) for hard mode, but it'll be hard not doing the raid at least once on Tuesday
Hoping for more details from Bungie this Thursday in the BWU

Yeah, only reason currently to run NM is if you are missing a piece of gear to unlock the Bone Marrow.
Yes, yes mwahaha.
My awesome looking white Xbox is installing games. Install MORE!
Dont think ill purchase Destiny on it tho, seems kinda pointless but its gonna be great to take some time off Destiny and play something else
Feel free to add me Xbox users whos gonna play Halo, GT is same as my GAF

My plan is simple: skip reset raid for all 3 and simply wait for hard mode this Friday to raid since all 3 are HM ready. I rather do HM and get a 310 ghost over doing normal and getting yet another 300 ghost.

Me on the other hand Just wanna do Hard Mode to get the trophy. I'll quit destiny after that or at least Just stick to one char.
Bungie lost it with the endgame imo. I dont feel rewarded anymore when I play it.

Is it possible to get inside the bridge of the cabal ship in patrol mode?

Trying to think of which map you're referencing. Sky shock? That's a big cosmodrome control map but I don't remember mountable guns (haven't played it forever). Bastion and first light have them but are on Mars and the moon, respectively.
Sky shock is horrible and first light hasn't been fun since the beta when vehicles were actually relevant. Bastion is my least disliked of those three but it's still rough. PvP is so clusterfucky that smaller is usually better (e.g. 3v3 on Burning shrine).
Bleh, I've given up on that. Zero helmets and still missing the raid scout and sniper rifle. Even raid gear I get has terrible perks like sidearm reload gauntlets and Arc armor Titan chest pieces.

I've only missed one week of reset raiding in the last year, for family reasons. It'll definitely be weird but honestly I'm happy with a little break. Shadowshot glitch got Trials canceled and even ruins normal Crucible, no interest in PvP until it's fixed. King's Fall is fun but the least replayable raid, strike playlist is super repetitive and the exclusive drops are way too rare (crappy Darkblade fusion rifle is my only one... Another fusion rifle ;_
. By Friday I'll be well rested and maximum hyped for Heroic

I'm kinda feeling the same here.. In Y1 it was graneeted that you could hit max light, now though it's a matter of luck I bet only a handful of hardcore players can hit the 320 LL with thier best kits equipped.
Using the panels or the ultra night?

If I'm lucky i'll be able to do one hard raid on the weekend, probably sunday. Hard raid launch timing couldn't be worse for me
Stupid shadowshot glitch delayed trials and preponed hard raid

Sounds like he was referring to Twilight Gap maybe?
I was kinda the same but I kinda actually like it on my lock.
Yeah, I think I have finally burnt myself out for the first time since Dark Below. Gonna have a nice rest away from the game (mostly studying for Law exams, so not that restful). Still trying to figure out if I should bother waking up at 3am for the launch or just wait a few hrs/days.

Seems to have disappeared . Probably due to the robe having a really big collar.
I quit my first game of IB before. Did my last bounty to hit rank 5 and left. Thanks to the tempered buff I didn't even play much, maybe <15 games total. But after getting 9/10 matches on widows court, the lag and seemingly non-existent chance of drops, I had no interest in staying.
Probably the least enjoyable IB so far in Destiny.

So this was confirmed then?
Oh hell, Hard Mode is coming out this Friday? Well this is an awful time to try this, but I'm on my own this weekend and will have way to much time to play...so...
I'm looking to do King's Fall for the first time (Normal Mode) (PSN) (PS4), wanted to do it blind (haven't ready any strategies or anything), and was wondering if there were 5 others from GAF that had any interest in doing the same thing? Obviously we could institute some kind of contingency plan of "read a strategy after wiping the 5th time" so it's not totally stressful, but I'd still like to try and figure everything out on my/our own.
I'm sitting around 295 light, assume others would need to be around the same level (at least 288-290? I think?), and was hoping to start it up Friday, October 23rd around 8pm EST. All day Saturday is also an option. Any interest? Shoot me a PM if so and we'll see what happens.

Count me in, i never did the raid but i am already light level 306 and have a black spindel at 310, so i can do some decent damage
Friday would be perfect for me, just pm me on gaf 3 Hours before we start
Wow, you're 306 without stepping in the raid. That's pretty impressive.

Bought the IB pulse today, not had a chance to try it out yet though!
Honestly don't know if I'll ever use it, I love my Red Death too much. That Regen perk is priceless imo.
