Yeah, that's a fucking shame. The whole investment team at Bungie need a stern talking to.
Bungie can kiss my ghost lol. Infusion needs to be reworked.

That's a good way to get people to say fuck it, and never touch HM again.
I infused a 310 Last Word and 310 Monte Carlo in it, and don't regret it
Yeah, but it still stinks that the sacrifice of two maxed exotic weapons only gets it to 308.
I infused a 310 Invective into my 305 Spindle assuming 5 was obviously a low enough difference to get it to 310.
309 fuuuuuuuuuck. 1 light doesn't matter, but the OCD part of me can't handle it.

There's nothing to the rumor that completing normal gives better hard drops, right? I plan on only running hard this week if I can help it.

I haven't gotten many 310 primaries, so I have to infuse smartly.
Which is kinda funny when considering that Bungie's own FAQ clearly suggests/implies that HM KF gives you 2x HM loot roll if you haven't cleared NM.
Edit: FO4 can't come soon enough to take me away from Destiny

Safest way for Wrath is to have the runner and floater also run a platform, on the opposite side from the person whose platform it is. After the blight detonations everyone starts running their own platform and the two free agents pick a platform then start running it once that person is on the opposite side.
The Knights are so much more lethal on HM it's risky to have people anywhere out in the open.

i got it to 310, had some blue trash weapons to get it to 300 then i infused both exotics.
Will not miss them, i have another 310 Hawkmoon, and the last word is crappy anyway
I agree with both of you.
I'm ready for FO4 and Battlefront now.
I'll probably spend some time with Halo 5 this weekend instead of Trials too since no elemental weapons.
HM should at least give shards even if you got them in NM. nothing is just so stupid.
Are you talking about the fact that 'Nothing' is a possible drop from KF?
Because that is some serious bull
Edit: Yup, should've read higher lol

I'm guessing Quiver won't be fixed before Trials? Since TTK came out, I've been using mainly a Sunbreaker. Started using my Gunslinger last night, and man was I punished for all the bad habits I had developed from using Hammers.
I noticed myself popping GG at the wrong times, running out in the open, not using any type of awareness of where the enemies are.
Took me a few wasted supers to realize that I was playing GG like it was Hammers.

No, drops are totally separate. The problem is that there's no HM version of the Ghost so it seems possible that a sub-310 Ghost can drop as your "Hard" reward from Oryx.
Bungie help page seemed to say exactly the opposite to me. Made it clear that HM and NM were separate drops and doing one first wouldn't affect the other. It was just confusing because this wasn't actually the case in VoG or CE.

I got the nothing drop from sisters yesterday after i got a (apparently , this was my first time in hard mode) great (never likely to happen again to me in other departments) 320 boots from the 2nd boss. Going to see if anyone is doing hard mode in an hour or at the least go through normal and get those drops with ease (i'm 303)
Yeah I thought the Help page made it pretty clear. It was exactly what I expected, including the 'nothing' drops since shards aren't a HM drop, and I get only shards on plenty of normal mode encounters.

Yeah. I had the same problem going back to my main Warlock. You're such a tank as a sunbreaker that you can be VERY aggressive with your super. Stormcaller is a powerful super, but you need to be aware of distance and you can still be OHK with a good sniper.

Are you sure about that? Both times I beat Totems I got a 303 and 317 ghost and a 307 and 311 ghost.
I think they implied the opposite actually.

In the next update I wouldn't surprised to see Bungie say there is a glitch with HM loot where people get nothing and it sours the experience.

It is. Not even an excuse. Bungie dropped the ball on HM raid loot. Make it worth our while.
That's not true. In our blind run on Friday, I got 2 ghosts on my titan: one under 310 and one at 313. Same thing happened in another run.

I'm really enjoying the Festival of the Lost. How awesome is it that dataminers didn't ruin the surprise for us?

Talking about Oryx drops. You can get only a sub-310 Ghost from HM Oryx.
Every loot drop has the chance to roll certain items. Totems has a roll for Fusion and the Ghost, on NM and HM. You can get "lucky" but getting both drops in one clear. Since HM gives your NM loot as well you can get both drops from both NM and HM.
Same reason you could get two exotics from HM Atheon but it had to be Mythoclast and a non-Vex weapon. There was a separate roll for the Vex and the exotic weapon, so you could hit both of those rolls in one clear.

was it possible to find this or was it updated into the game earlier? I love it too. seeing the Tower being all decorated was really great. I wish the Tower had more variations normally.
Not a criticism but more of an observation: people seem like they may have been a little bit too dependent on HM to keep their level of interest in the game equal to the initial high of doing the TTK quest lines + the first time going through the new raid.
It wasn't handled perfectly by any stretch but I feel like HM is a nice little bonus and I'm still enjoying the core game. I think they handled the Lost Festival event well and it's been fun unlocking these new exotics even if when you think about it, they're just a "time gate". But it's a video game - everything seems kind of absurd if you break down the logic enough. Again - there are definitely lessons to be learned here for Bungie and changes need to be made, but overall I'm still getting a kick out of all this and enjoying raiding with y'all.
