Ill go a nightfall or two if you're keen. I've done them but want the Imago Loop

I bit and picked up Destiny:The Taken King. Any heads up or tips for a beginer?
That hasn't been my experience at all.
Let us know if you need any help.

Anybody around have HM Totems CP on PS4?

You are already on the right track... Don't be afraid to ask questions.
I've been playing since Alpha but still had a question because there are aspects of the game I don't really touch upon. Asked it on here a couple of pages ago because you can usually find at least one person who knows a lot on the topic that can guide you.
Also, familiarize yourself with the Infuse mechanic. Had a buddy just start the game who totally missed that somehow and was trying to level his Light with his preferred gear choices the hard way...
Finally finished the record book last night. SRL had more than its fare share of problems, but none of them were severe enough to deter me from playing an otherwise really entertaining mode. In the end, I got a lot more enjoyment out of SRL than the base game, which, more than anything else, probably says that Destiny isn't the game for me.

If you still need it join on me, I'll load it up now. Would like to shift the CP to my warlock too.

Finish the story, do the taken wars quests, level up factions to get legendary gear, play heroic strikes, do bounties, court of oryx and so on.
SRL is on till the end of weekly reset so get into that, you'll be able to get 290+ helmets and class items.
Find an experienced player (preferably from your timezone) to do the Refer-a-friend quest with you, that will enable you to access some gear like swords faster and bonus xp for leveling up.
Hey everyone look at this guy. He's having fun. Fucked up
I haven't been able to play FPS seriously on a TV for a few years, I know exactly what you mean. I don't have nearly your good kdr... but I do know what you mean
Working in IT around these times is great as long as there's no catastrophe... Thanks to holidays landing on Fridays I basically have two 5-day weekends starting a few hours ago...
HEY WipedOut & Lnkn thanks again for earlier. Sorry for the rough spots in the raid.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone!

I got both Stand Asides and Peregrine Greaves from decrypted boot Engrams on my Hunter.

I think we've got 1 spot open for a HM KF starting at Totems ASAP...

I can probably run it

No problem.
Wish I had the time to run full raid but that isn't happening until at least Monday now unless I get a run right now, last minute Christmas shopping is the worst and chances of running a raid on Monday is probably zero.
Merry Christmas/Happy holidays everyone.
Edit: and just like that I miss my chance. GG

Carries are definitely possible in HM, the 320 artefact + weapon you get as the challenge mode drop would help as well along the way.

Only for the 0.004% of the 0.004%
Now its Xmas and we're all going off to join our families I'd like to take a moment to remember the Guardians we've lost in the great Destiny content drought
RIP Kyoufu2, LiquidsV2, Raybunzy, Frostburn and the many brave others who found redemption in new games, may you one day return to the light

What's the easy and the hard way to level up via infusing?
Ruthless_Barbarian

Best chance of getting it by grinding the nightfall this week.
It is the worst strike with the worst modifiers.
1st layer of RNG - getting a legendary to drop
2nd layer of RNG - legendary being imago loop and not the ugly titan mark
3rd layer of RNG - imago loop having decent perks
Have fun ):
List is much bigger than that but yea, I suppose, or hope, they will be back..
Truly. 200 silver would have been better than motes and coins.
Bungie wants to give something to the new players who are getting into TTK, so makes sense. Veteran players get no love.
Play on one character, any high light level gear you have that you're not using on your main can be used to infuse the gear on your alts. Makes it easier to level up alts and bring them closer to the recommended light level of end game activities.
So, DO NOT dismantle gear you don't need. Pass it on to alts and infuse.
It's always been there. The game tries to make lobbies average similar Combat Ratings. You can check your combat rating for any given playlist by going to the companion app and viewing your detailed kills / deaths etc.
This is why the better you get, the worse your teammates get. I started playing on a sub account for fun a few days ago and was averaging 2.7 K/D using a Warlock with no Super unlocked. Came back to my real account and went back to my usual 1.1 K/D despite having basically everything worth owning upgraded and available.
Check guardian.gg where you can find your latest matches and playlist rank. While imperfect, it's a pretty good curve on your performance. The most interesting aspect? You can view all your recent matches and see the scores for everyone on the lobby. Notice how overall, ELO scores across both teams tend to be similar. If you're a really good player the lobbies you play in will be on a higher ELO tier, on average.
I checked my recent matches and the lobbies averaged 1200-1300 ELO, for instance. I checked Twilight's and his lobbies are generally around 1500 ELO.
This isn't new, just sloppy and obtuse in implementation since it's super hard to tell when you're having a bad day and when you're just suffering because Destiny deemed you were ready to play with better lobbies and you start getting wrecked. A transparent rank system would make this game a lot better. But the list of things which will unexplainably never happen tends to infinity...
Skipping Christmas seems silly. They could've easily called it something else and everybody would've understood it as such, just like Halloween was FotL. Or maybe's it's coming later?

Did you check the reef? Santa is hiding behind a door on the reef, can you locate him?

All that is well and good but its the skill over connection which is why everyone is up in arms. My ELO/DTR is all over the place as no amount of skill can deal with the other team being that constant 1 second ahead of you or a fireteam of red bars from the other side of the world. I was playing with Feetie yesterday and I was sniped a good 4/5 feet round a corner, how the fuck are you supposed to counter bullshit like that. In my experience thats the norm not an exception.

That's the problem I have as well. I can think I am behind cover and safe and still die. It's infuriating that you can go in a lag free lobby and everyone dies as you would expect. Then the very next match its taking twice as many shots to kill anyone

Do you have a sidearm only mode? If so i'll sign up.
I don't exactly know what Pew is planning of course, but if enough fireteams sign up, we can make different groups/brackets based on ELO rating. I'm sure there's an ELO bracket where people go pew pew with water guns, I mean sidearms
So don't worry about not being a PvP pro! If you enjoy playing some Crucible matches with/against fellow DGAFfers, just give it a go!

Hey, sorry I missed you, some non Gaf friends hit me up shortly after that post for help running a raid.
Trust me, we did you a favor by not including you lol. Mistakes were made... Repeatedly. But we got it done eventually and got Wipedout's first PlayStation HM KF clear, hooray!
