Thank you sir!

Sooooo how easy would it be for end to get a £100,000,000,000 loan of which I can take out multiple other loans to pay for said loan using fake ID's and then runaway to my secret island without paying a penny back and scamming a whole load of people until the financial market collapsed?
Congrats
Yup, PS4.

Very nice
Ooh ooh me me. I've never done the first two raids. I've done Kings Fall once but it'd be nice to get everything down. Thursday nights are perfect for me.

Just sent you a party chat invite.
I'd be interested in a King's Fall newbie raid. Still haven't done it
Same here!
Or any of the other newbie raids like Prison of Elders/ Crota. Seems a bit tough finding groups for these on lfg.
I just want at least a shot at getting to 7 for the Scout.

We've basically had 5 meta's now - 6 if you count the meta in the alpha and beta.
June - July 2014: Auto Rifles + whatever you wanted on the side
September - October 2014: Auto Rifles + Fusion Rifles (including Mythoclast)
November 2014: Brief period where Scouts and Legendary HCs were in demand
December 2014 - April 2015: Exotic Hand Cannons + Shotguns
May 2015 - August 2015: Exotic Hand Cannons, Pulse Rifles, Final Rounds Snipers and Felwinter Shotguns
September 2015 - Now Pulse Rifles, Felwinter Shotguns, high aim assist Snipers
So everything except Sidearms has had a spot in the limelight at this point. We went through all of the primaries, and from specials we went from OP fusions to OP shotguns to OP snipers with OP shotguns on the side.
For Heavies, Machine Guns ruled in the Alpha and Beta and House of Wolves is when Rockets completely took over the spot because of Grenades and Horsehoes rerolling, but there was a good balance without it.

One spot for hard raid from totems, any takers?

October - November: Hand Cannons were beautiful but Thorn wasn't buffed and SUROS/Vex had calmed the fuck down. Ayy those were the days.

Posting this I made from over on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...u_will_never_be_max_light_level_and_ill_show/
So, I decided to do some math and figure out how exactly the new "Forever 29" thing was going to play out. The following data uses a few assumptions, some of which I put into Bungie's Favor, as I didn't know exact numbers.
In the data below, the following was assumed:
The Max Light Level will increase in 4 months (or approx 18 weeks). This is based off the release schedule of year 1.
All items in the Raid have a 50% drop rate (obviously, they don't. Some items are in more than 1 loot pool)
An item has a 10% chance to drop at max light level. This means you have a 10% chance of a 50% chance to get a max light level item in any given slot.
You're only means of Max Light Level gear is from the raid
So on to the data.
This is template for a single player in the equation. Basically, every they get one roll at each slot every week. If that Roll is a 1-5, then they hit a jackpot and got Max LL item. An "O" is flagged at the bottom to show that a Max LL item in this category has been obtained. If after 18 weeks, a player has obtained 1 max LL item for each category, they have hit Max LL and their "X" becomes and "O".
Now, These markers carry over to this template here:
What you'll notice is that in 20 cases, 0 players will have reached max light level.
Obviously, 20 isn't enough for a solid statistic, so I ran it multiple times. Out of 2000 players, only 12 players reached max light level. Or 0.006%.
Again, obviously some of this is bad data and doesn't match the actual drop rates in game, but I'd like to think I've been generous with the possibilities.
If anyone is curious about the excel functions.
The basic attempts are used as =RandBetween(1, 100).
Conditionals were =IF(OR(Attempt1<DropRatePercentage, Attempt2<DropRatePercentage, etc...
So what this means, is that yes, we are back to the Forever 29 scenario. You will never be max light level.
Lastly, there are obviously other ways to get Max Light Level items, and that is great, but considering all of them are also on weekly 1-time resets, your odds are still terrible.

After a weekend filled with Destiny I'm a level 30 warlock! Is it recommended to do VoG or Dark Below before level 40 - or will most parties just deny lower levels?
If anybody is rolling up a group for either of those raids and don't mind mentoring, please add me: BanBros on XB1

The legendary items from the gold package drop 300-310. Only the exotics out of the silver and gold can drop higher, or the primaries (and exotics) from the lighthouse. Of course, all three of my items out of the gold package were 300 anyway, and they were garbage: artifact, ghost, and auto.

Someone on Reddit is claiming they got the Beetle emblem past nine wins (EJRobinson said he got his at 10.) That emblem might actually be better than the flawless emblem!

Forgot to post it last night, got another ticket to the lighthouse and ended up getting a 320 trials pulse, I'm still pretty happy about it
Ah November 2014. When that beautiful bastard Lord Saladin sold the elusive light level 30 boots. I was able to purchase them about ten minutes before reset, finally breaking out of #forever 29 (light level 33 vendor gear would be sold for marks in a mere two weeks).
I do remember having a lot of fun in the PVP back then when I did jump in.

Man, people on Reddit are dumb.
I don't like asking, but if some of you wouldn't mind tossing an upvote here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...u_will_never_be_max_light_level_and_ill_show/
I go through this whole thing about how impossible it is to reach 320 via the raid, and people just answer "Well obviously you didn't take Trials into consideration, and that makes it way easier..."

Out of all the guns in Destiny Year 1, other than TLW, A.1F19X-RYL Scout is what I miss the most. It made me love PvP.
Since everyone is posting about personal stuff today, we got the results from our anatomy ultrasound and my baby is a boy! I'm going to have a son! Now to figure out a name...
Congrats John!
I got 2 more twenty one pilots tickets today for the 2nd Madison Square Garden show so I'm ecstatic
