I've never gotten a 300 blue, that is rather lucky!
Yeah, it's been on reddit for a while. Seems like wave of users get selected to try it on Bnet. It's very handy and I have noticed improvements.
For instance: Bungie provides an open field of everything you have and allows quick organization with 1-click movement between characters. The biggest take away is that everything happens smoothly.
Anyone can use it. Just go to bungie.net in a browser, pull up your gear, and click the button at the bottom that says 'gear manager beta' or something like that.
edit: oh not everyone got access? I just assumed everyone had it.

If you're above 300, you can easily do hard raid till daughters.
Nope.
I was struggling as well to reach 300 till last week. Had a 310 ghost drop from the nightfall, a 307 PR drop which went into my Hung Jury, and got the exotic sword which drops at 310. Those finally pushed me to 300 and then a little farming with the 3ofC for exotic infusion drops got me to 304.

We carried a 299 titan all the way to hm oryx last week. Guy was using a 296 sniper. You should be fine.
He got really lucky with a 320 Mark and 320 Arms tho... Finished the whole thing 309.
10 light points in a single raid.
Good thing you're not asking that question on Xbox =/
Wow. That's crazy. I've got my titan and hunter at 304-5 and had my NM KF runs this past week fall apart at Oryx. Hopefully I can find a couple HM runs to tag along on.

I still need all 3 nightfalls, but I wont be online for at least 2 more hours...
I think I'm 296 with my best gear equipped. Should be at least 297 once I get a hajillion more weapon parts.
Nice. 3oC hasn't done much for me lately, but I keep popping them.
To clarify, I don't really want to run HM KF, at least not yet. I need a few more normal runs under my belt to really get the mechanics down.
Once I get Fallout, I'll be on that about 90% of my playtime for a while, but I'll be hopping on for weekly strikes, Nightfalls and the odd daily or raid, for variety. Skyrim swallowed me whole for the better part of a year. egads
The only reason we all gravitate to a meta is because for the most part we all fire and take damage from weapons in the same way. If you start altering how sub classes interact with weapons types then we aren't firing them the same way and maybe that Scout Rifle now fires like a Pulse Rifle. Or that Fusion Rifle now acts more like a shotgun. Or when I have a hand cannon equipped my gunslinger has increased agility and rate of fire that makes up for the lack of range. I guess that was my intention. You'll always end up with a meta, that's unavoidable, but the more viable build options the easier time you'll have from keeping one weapon archetype from ruling.
The best part about Destiny are the sub classes and supers. If we just balance weapons and don't have the class/weapon synergy then it's just Halo (not meant to be offensive). I'd rather my class and perk selection play a major part into how I decide my loadout. Right now you use a Pulse Rifle regardless of what class you are. A game of Trials plays exactly like any other shooter until round 3-4 when people start getting supers.
Full glimmer cap + ~ 40 motes = 50-70 weapon parts.
Buy an Exotic Heavy from kiosk for an Exotic Shard and 2,500 glimmer. Pop 4 or 5 Motes to feed XP. Dismantle to get 5-7 WPs per heavy and your Exotic Shards back.
Wasteful as hell but it works to get some last minute upgrades in a pinch.

I think classes in Destiny set it apart from other games regardless of Supers. Round 1 has blink or skating or triple jumping and like a dozen different grenades and a very special gun feel/feedback.
I kind of like the idea of certain gun types being optimal on certain subclasses but I don't think it's accurate to say this feels like any other shooter whenever supers aren't up. And I fear the implementation would make things too limiting - like forcing me to be a Voidwalker if I primarily snipe when maybe I'd have ratcheted be a Sunsinger or something like that.
This process is Mote and Glimmer expensive but doesn't cost any shards.You're assuming he has 200 exotic shards lying in his vault like the rest of us
You spend 1 to buy at kiosk then get it back when you dismantle. What they nerfed was the possibility of getting 2 back, but getting your shard back is guaranteed.
Well, you guys are too busy playing req packs and chill ¯\_(ツ
I am still doing the Destiny hustle lol
I might do that, sans the motes, just so I can use the damn 300 blue I'm sitting on. :lol
Thanks for the tip.

I have a half dozen shards, and about 700 motes. I'm good.
I did just blow 20,000 glimmer on synth at the gunsmith, but that comes back quick enough.
Crickets - Trance, I think we should start over on the PS4.

i dont even the patience to finish oryx hm most days
for whatever reason i just cant find many groups that can do it efficiently

Plenty of people should be raiding tonight on Xbox, right? They can fit the raid in while Fallout 4 loads between zones. *rimshot*
Please don't ban me! I jest out of love!
I am not even thinking about starting over. I'm sure one of these days they will give us a paid option to clone the account. Starting over will hurt too much.
Lol, my copy will be coming tomorrow.
That's why I changed platforms for TTK, definitely worked as a reboot for the game. Perfect time to jump before it got too late.

I'd be really surprised to see the ability to move characters across consoles so long as there is exclusive content on one of the consoles. It would be nice though since most of the character data is stored on Bungie's servers.
Yeah, your rationale was solid, but I don't want to leave behind so much history. I am fairly certain they will give an option for the next big expansion. The capability exists.
Hedging my bets.
I think they will find a way for a cost

Perfect. Ship it.
Switching now is easier than it was pre TTK.
As sad as this sounds, there used to be a ton of stuff worth owning. Now you can just quickly level up to 40, buy Hung Jury and Hawksaw, do your Sword / Malice Quests, get your Taken War Conspiracy+1,000 Yard and kinda own everything worth having in the game. Shouldn't take too long.

And blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget the game!
I am a collector and love holding on to things from the past. Have a ton of materials hoarded and such. It would be too hard for me.
More importantly, I won't have time for any other games if I restart on PS4 lol.
Afrodeeziyak has found Gjallarhorn!
Afro hits level 40
Afro prestige
Afro has lost Gjallarhorn and found Khvostov!
Eh. It certainly has more differentiation than standard fare, but I've been looking back fondly at ME3 MP again lately. Despite the movement and grenades Destiny classes all feel too samey to me.
What if Gunslingers had an alternate super that added a burning DoT to weapon damage for a short time?
What if Voidwalkers had an alternate super that gave them a suppression aura?
Instead of a grenade Strikers could grab an extended range Lightning Lance melee.
The Nightstalker's smoke is a primitive example of what a more advanced system can do. It changes the most when switching from cloak boost to envenom, but at its heart it's just a grenade in the melee slot.

so we're not expecting two more house of wolves/dark below sized expansions before next fall?
No we are not.

Dear DGAF,
Allow me this one off topic post. I've been working on a secret thing for years. It's no longer secret. I've been wanting to share this with my friends for ages. I consider y'all in that group.
http://frenden.com/post/132948914097/joel-hodgson-reached-out-to-me-a-couple-of-years
tl;dr, I've been working on the relaunch of MST3K and the project launched a Kickstarter. I can finally speak about it, whew.
That feels good.

Don't hate me Ocean, but I don't want to give up my new Year 2 Party Crasher. It is my new baby!
This is why I always joke about getting a 310 Harrowed chest piece on my first Golgoroth HM kill.
I'm still salty over it.
To be fair, they have deviated quite a bit from it.
Yeah the delta between rewards is rather large and the inconsistencies lead to hurt feelings. On one end of the spectrum you have people like me that get an antiquated rune and on the other people like you mentioned.
