Xbox I got the warsat in buried city first try. PS4, spent around 6 hours waiting for that damn thing.

Me too and it only took me like 10 minutes to get that Warsat.
Does anyone use NTTE at all?

Anyone up for NF?

Everytime I play Diablo 3 I sort through my drops marveling at the variety of perks and possibilities.
To me this is a fundamental problem with Destiny.
With the Taken King, Bungie moved into the quest/reward style of game and didn't keep the content coming (except with artificial timegates).
It means that right now you really only play for the gameplay loop. And without sufficient incentive, it is getting really hard to play anymore.
I wish they recognized this and dramatically increased the drop rates. Crucible weapons should drop like they did in House of Wolves. Why not have a legendary guaranteed at the completion of every Heroic strikes?
What harm would come to the game?

If Unstable was still alive he'd have some strong feelings about this: https://thesaltofosiris.wordpress.com
Wow, he made a blog post, time to read.

I got 3x 320 weapons last night from Oryx. My Doctrine with CB and TLW are now 320.

...like when you get a fucking sparrow tool kit and 2 strange coins for a NF reward?
I would've much rather have received a crap weapon that I could've broken down for weapon parts and glimmer.

I read this and felt vindicated!
But he is bang-on. I am trying very hard to adjust my thinking to not even care about loot. The game feels better when I just enjoy the gunplay. But then again I really want a Doctrine...
Does Light level on weapons even matter in Trials/IB? Does a sniper rifle do noticeably less damage at say, 280 Light than 320 Light?

Alright guys, who's up for HM KF raid? Will be fresh unless we can find a cp.

Ps. I'm a bit rusty, as I haven't played in a bit.

I haven't noticed on weapons. I do notice when I am 10 LL higher than someone I do...wait for it...1 EXTRA POINT OF DAMAGE PER SHOT BABY!

Oh God.
I just realized that since we're not getting a sequel this year, we're likely just getting Year 2 all over again next year.
A sequel would have given Bungie a chance to reboot things. And there's a lot that doesn't need to be tweaked, it needs to be rebooted.
Another year of Light level grinding. Another year of Armor taking forever to level. Another year of shitty Nightfalls. Another year of raid drops that suuuuuuuuuck. Another year of SBMM. Another year with Microtransaction driven events.
Year 2, in retrospect, has been one step forward, two steps back. I think Bungie has way more to fix in the next expansion than they did with Taken King.

Yes. I once ran into a player in IB who had light level so low, I one shot him with a sniper body shot.
Another year of crap raid loot would leave a giant "Bloodborne" on my heat map.

This is the time when you should be drinking that bourbon, not during the raid you lush
Do you have Shaxx bounties unlocked?

This could literally take 10 months.
I guess I was lucky, but I got the warsat on my first try. I did the quest with two friends, and we waited in three different locations, and called out when we got a warsat, and we got it very quickly.
Or it could never come back.
Or it could never come back.
What's so sad is that almost all of the things you just have listed could be fixed right away yet we all know that it'll probably take the course of another year to fix them.

There were significant changes made from Year 1 to Year 2 / The Taken King. No reason to think there won't be significant changes from Year 2 to Year 3 / New Expansion. Whether they will be declared as flawed changes over time is TBD. For the love of god please bring back the re-rolling Gunsmith option for current year legendary weapons.
Oh, I thought it was due back soon for some reason.
Also, waiting 10 months is more fun than the quest.

Sweet!
There is a chance that the Fall expansion will have some new ideas and changes implemented.

Most of the things I listed, Bungie could fix now if they thought it was a problem. Best case scenario is that they think they're problems, but they don't care about the live game and are all "we'll fix it in fall".

It's 10:30 in the morning, Ape! Too early for Bourbon, but just in time for a high sodium breakfast!
Also, as you can attest, I save my salt for the thread, that way I don't get salty or rant while playing.
And yep, I have the Ghost bounties unlocked.

Sorry it's hard mode. Depending on your light level, you could try.

I got one from from the Gunsmith with Triple Tap, Rifled Barrel (gave it maxed out range), and Firefly. It is the same specs as Gheleon's Demise but missing the important Outlaw perk.
It's alright but feels a bit sluggish to me.
This especially sticks out to me
So true. You never really feel more powerful. Doing the nightfall as a 320 is no easier than doing it as a 290.

Why are you always shaming us whiskey drinkers?
Yeah, at this point we just need a fresh reboot and that won't happen for a while.
NF is easy anyway.
Doing Oryx HM as a 320 is a lot easier than doing it as a 310. Doing Atheon as a 300+ is a lot easier than doing it as a Forever29. Doing Scrota as a 300+ is ridiculously easy compared to doing it as a level 32.
EDIT: a 320 Cocytus SR4 can one precision shot kill a hive thrall in KF HM.
But that's the thing. All that really matters is reaching the artificial light level gate of the activity. Once you get there there's no additional progression w/ regard to that activity.
And I think that's a good thing. No point in even playing if it's just going to be ultra god mode.
God mode can be a lot of fun.
280 light level NF, Atheon, Crota, Court of Oryx Tier 3, 240 light level daily stories are already god mode.

That's the thing. The entire end game is centered on increasing your light, but increasing your light does not change how you play.
I will despair if the light system isn't completely redone for Year 3. It is a huge problem.
Nah I disagree... if your 319+ light level you can afford to run KF HM using only Ace of Spades for fun. If your 310 that's not an option. It can change how you play, if you want to change.
I stopped playing because Destiny went from feeling badass with broken weapons to making everyone average and "efficient enough." There is nothing inherently fun to being "efficient enough" in a game that sells people on becoming a legend. Year 1 had some fantastic weapons that people CRAVED to have. Year 2 has nothing of that sort. If Bungie continues with their philosophy of making boring weapons and nerfing PVE guns like the shottie, I will never return.
Makes me very sad to utter those words. Destiny PVE (ideally) should be like Diablo with loot coming out of every orifice of the game.

If you want to get some practice in before trials this week let me know. We can work on Ghost Bounties together. Maybe we'll let LT in. Maybe.

Hahah. I love whiskey. I actually got a chance to try some Pappy Van Winkle recently!
Completely disagree w/ the bolded ones. Go do the Warsat on SABER without a bubble w/ any of the shitty modifiers added. And as far as dailies, look at how hard the black spindle mission is. It's 240. Many of us were closing in on 300 the first time it came around and banged our heads against it for hours.
edit: I love the challenge of the Spindle mission, but the point i'm making is that light level is really fucking obtuse.
