Definitely up for friday night raiding.
That was the one he picked up from the kiosk wasn't it?

You realise I was talking about a different group and not our normal group, right?

God bless you Shaxx
Last exotic, all kiosks filled.
I'm free ya'll
Pardon the noob question, but I didn't realize you could get exotics from bounties? Or was this a special bounty or something?
I can join you. 313 Warlock.

You can unlock weekly crucible bounties that give out nightfall-like rewards.

Yay!
I don't feel very confident in myself this time around, a little scared to go into it.
You guys are going to kick ass though, you running with the usual XO + Gunners team?

No it's the same one published for Iron Banner, which shows the level delta rather than specific light levels

Now I took the damege reduction info from reddit, but looking at it I'm not sure people are reading it right...
Weekly crucible quest gives nightfall tier gear.
Salvage is the next step in my questline. am I almost done?
Should be at some point, I know Reign is running with them as well. I'll be waiting on Wicked to get released from Unstable though, lol

Yikes. That really kind of says it all about the current state of PvP when Unstable doesn't want to do carries. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting. I suspect people are going to start playing other fall games now that we know what the HM/infusion end game grind is.

Depends on which Salvage step you're on but if it's the first one then you're unfortunately a long way from done. Here's the whole quest line, it's a tedious and long one:

Only advantage is that the Crucible NF Tier bounties will unlock for all three characters.
And you get a 150 attack Rocket Launcher xD

Last week, my reward on my main was 20 Strange Coins. Shaxx be trollin'

Thanks, just looked up how to unlock those bounties and I'm like half way through that quest line but the rest of it looks like a slog...

I got 310 Voidfang Vestments and 2 shit roll Ash Factories.
I guess I will settle on Hawksaw/Nirwen, 1K-Yard Stare and Truth for Trials.
SC are a great reward. I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Me too if you still need
What do you do with it? I can't stop getting coins.

Think I'm gonna take a week long break from Destiny after I get my 3rd HM clear tonight or tomorrow. This is the 2nd day in a row that I've slept through my alarm.

Sounds good, make sure one of you guys stream your runs in that case. It'll be fun to watch
I know all you guys will be getting you super serious sweaty matches done so if time allows Friday Night/Saturday Morning I'll do an attempt with Macello and Icon.
Speaking of Wicked, really wish his gaf account was approved *slips Ghalleon a $20*
I'll likely be helping people out on Saturday or just teaming up with other good players, but it depends on how "sweaty" the new MM really is. If every 7-0 or 8-0 match is against MLG pro types, then "carries" might be harder to accomplish. I guess we'll see soon.
The new match-up system will be exciting but may kill a lot of the carrying. It's the way I've always wanted it to be, since I'm a middling player, because starting a new card and getting stomped by an 8-0 team didn't really seem like a tournament of champions to me. But yeah, once Fallout 4 hits Destiny is going to have to slow roll a lot of content to keep me around. I imagine they have something like challenge mode ready to be released around then to combat the November games.
Save them and get stuff from Xur. One can never have too many coins - they've always served me well one way or another.
Starting to wind down for me as well. Raided for the fourth time yesterday, it was fun, but there's nothing left to do in terms of PvE.

So I'm guessing Trials gear will drop with a random 310+ roll? As someone who is only decent at trials and can't carry a team, I don't think I'm really going to touch it at all.

Unfortunately I have no idea, I have yet to unlock them.
The good news is they are revamping the questline to make it more streamlined. Not sure when, but they detailed it in the last BWU i think. That is when I will actually do it myself.
Ugh I'm stalled at the Elmination step but I thought that was the end. I'm just going to wait until they make it easier like Luke mentioned.
I hope we get some info on ToO drops on today's weekly update.

Also, if people have a 311+ Titan in their hm oryx team, they should highly consider running the kill Knights strat mentioned earlier. Much better than leaving the ogres up.
I am really happy to be at the point where most PVE activities are finished. Love playing without feeling like I have specific tasks. Run around the cosmodrome, do some bounties, raids here and there. Love the "downtime" in Destiny. The gear chase with every new DLC is very tiring initially.
Maybe I'm just crazy.
No, I totally feel you. Destiny in general can be exhausting, but that's also half the fun

I think law of averages will still allow plenty of above average teams to squeak out to 7 and 8 wins.
God bless you Shaxx

What about exotic class items?
Might be setting yourself up for disappointment.
Raids are still the real endgame and I expect we'll be getting up update tonight on that rebalance of rewards.
I couldn't be any more disappointed with the end game.
This would be the only redeeming factor.

I feel bad for the guy. I'd probably quit if my Hunter got deleted. But why the hell would you hover over your character and then go do something else? I am perplexed. Just log in.
Still, it shouldn't be so easy to delete a character.
I just like to have some meaningfull things to do when I decide to play. It's not like I'm playing for hours on end. I wish there was more to the endgame in terms of randomized content that actually provided some cool rewards. Bounties and the weekly stuff are OK, but they're repeats of existing content.

The Suros DIS-43 scout rifle with Hammer Forged/Appended Magazine, Full Auto and Snapshot/Hand-Laid Stock isn't too bad. If you have a Lyudmila package, it's probably better to hold onto it.

Very much so! Especially when DLC launches.
Destiny in itself is meaningful and it's nice to just play without having to worry about accomplishing tasks. I know I'm in the minority when I say that the gear chase is the worst part. Love having all my stuff and just messing around.
Totally understand that, downed HM Oryx last night and it's "now what?" I'll keep doing KF to try and get around 315 but I'll be taking shortcuts and mostly not caring about doing Oryx.
The binge playing is basically over and the desire to stick with a raid for 4 hours isn't there anymore, which is a good thing. Bunch of RNG and quest exotics to get but I refuse to do the farming ones like the sword quests. So i'll just get all that stuff gradually as I play out the game in-between other major releases. I'll keep running reset raids and Nightfalls for the shots at the RNG exotics and just because it's fun to play with GAF.
