I'll have a look at any PS4 deals when the expansion hits later this year, I think the game will just be treading water until then.

Start with 0 strange coins!! Absurd!
I'm sure Bungle would love it, but there's no way Sony or (particularly) MS would want it.
My OCD is what allowed me to do it. The drive to find all the stuff all over again. I wanted the challenge. Didn't hurt that I may have the best RNG luck this game has seen.
1. Gjallarhorn and Icebreaker within an hour of each other
2. Vex and every weapon except Vision and Foil in 14 total runs.
3. Crux within 15 total Runs.
4. Perfect Roll Imago Loop after 10 NF runs.
5. CB Trucker Law Doctrine (Just put this in for Frenden)
6. Revenant and Bittersteel before Rank 10.
7. 3 x 320 Ghost
8. Jade Rabbit already.
Tell me about it! I am not losing my massive collection of stuff.
That's all disproportional luck - worst part of Destiny is desiring things. Having everything is what I always loved.
on xbox I didn't have a massive stockpile of mats, coins ect. That part was easy for me. There pretty much isn't anything I'm really missing compared to the xbox account. Sure missing some y1 stuff but that's small potatoes. I got all the important ones, well except for thorn.
I'd really like to try my hand at some raid at some point. Is there a certain class/subclass that's generally more accepted for raids? Rather not roll into a raid with a bladedancer if they bring nothing to the group.
Also I see a lot of talk about challenge mode, what is the recommended light level for some of these different raids and optional modes? I can read up on the raid steps but it's not going to replace firsthand experience. At the same time though I don't want to bring the group down because I've never been on a raid.

It rolled with:
Hammer Forged

Re: raid subclasses
Warlock- Sunsinger
Hunter- Nightstalker
Titan- Defender
Defender has the most utility across all three Destiny raids, nobody will ever say no to a Bubble Bro. Sunsingers are always valuable especially for first time players who may need the self-revive. Since you mentioned Bladedancer, I'm guessing you have a Hunter in which case NStalker is the best overall bet (especially useful in King's Fall). Bladedancer is actually a great subclass for the two older raids, and the most useful subclass period for Crota's End.
Re: Challenge mode recommended light
Warpriest- ~290 normal, 300 hard
Golgoroth- ~290 normal, 300 hard
Oryx- ~300 normal, 310 hard
These are just guidelines and not requirements. Warpriest is especially easy to carry a low light player since you don't necessarily have to do much. Golgoroth is a bit tougher because you have to stay alive until at least the final cycle. Oryx is the toughest because losing a single team member can often make it hard for groups to recover.
All of these challenge modes will be much easier on Normal because you can be revived if you die. Hard mode raids are a lot more punishing because there are no revives unless you have a Sunsinger with self-revive super.

For raids, nightstalker, defender and sunsingers are the best options. For challenge mode you can be carried through Warpriest/Golgoroth at -300 for Oryx closer to 310 would be better. I'm not sure of the status of them but Hawkian does newbie raids (check first post)
Your best bet is to try and get in on the challenge modes this and next week as that will give you a 320 Artefact a 310/320 special and heavy then next week a 310 and 320 piece of armour all of that should boost your light by quite a bit for oryx
Edit Drizzay can you carrying on playing the division ffs, I've got all this covered
I am working from home because of parking being horrible at work and I am jealous. Do you have a red dot scope though? It is perfect, though.
I mentioned bladedancer because they seemed like the most useless pve class for higher level enemies. I have all 3 subclasses maxed on my hunter, and close to finished in striker, sunsinger and stormcaller. So I have a decent number of options when it comes to raids, just need that experience.
That's great info, thanks. I'll probably start focusing on defender a bit more when I redeem bounties to get that up to an acceptable level.

Yeah. It has the SPO 12 and 26 scope.

lol you da real MVP Mr. Trout
P.S. I briefly watched Nghtly stream this morning. It gave me a good chuckle when I heard him give you a shout out "hey, what's up mehrman" in his typical chillaxed tone.

Lol, yeah I'm kinda of a bid deal in the sweaty twitch chat community
He said he applied to GAF but never got the acceptance email (Ghaleon why you do this.gif) as I saw Biggy and blackprophesy on his friends list
Edit prophesy forgot to buy the boons on a carry, did Biggy ever win a raffle?

Yeah, you'll want to fully level defender in order to get maximum utility.
As for newbie raids, just let us know if you need a group. Plenty of sherpas around.

Wow, seriously, anyone paying for this junk deserves to be nut punched, better yet, make them infertile so they can't reproduce their stupidity.

It's big business I posted up the OG one in a previous OT and the guy behind it cleared over $100k in yr1. Account selling was also huge, a fully loaded Gjallahorn one could hit $1k

$60 for Oryx CM? LOL
$40 for regular Oryx HM. How much more to carry someone on Vita? ;p

Nope
I originally preordered for PS4, but my IRL friends wanted PC so i changed. I'm glad I'm finally putting my PC to use since PS4 has gotten over 1000 hours
$250 for 3 full hard mode runs? Sounds reasonable.
While we are on the subject, I'm opening my new shop. 3 full hard mode runs, only $200. Cheaper than anywhere else!
I wonder if even a single person has bought something from them. Seriously. Who the fuck pays obscene amounts of money for something like that?!

WHAT? Good grief.

Probably $150-200
Chump change for the hours invested.

You need to be sick more often! But really, that's a great roll. Get well soon guardian
LOL what dumb shit. I always hated the idea of buying currency and characters in MMOs, this is worst than that.
BTW I'm the Boston guy you farmed CoO with & also played The Division's Times Square mission the other day. I was mainly muted. Having fun with it, but I'm not sure it'll have the staying power Destiny does
for me, before people jump on statements
I've missed a few of your invites by sitting there afk but keep em coming when you need fireteam members!
Cash for Crota's Dad.

They even have a Scarab Farming option. You can farm one additional game beyond 9 wins at $15, 5 at $75 and 10 for $150.

Buffalo Wild Wings giftcards get you one completed Trials passage with me.
Was thinking the same thing.
I've had 3 since the launch of the game, I can't wait for them to add a fourth playable class.
TFW when you leave your raid group with great sadness because you can't do King's Fall anymore and then wake up to see they did Crota's End:
Wiped is Wolvie in this scenario, you lucky sonofa!
Oh man the feels. Wolverine says right after that "Next time, I'll use these" and his claws come out.
I don't really have any issue w/ the guns of destiny thing. I mean it seems douchey and I wouldn't pay those prices for that stuff, but if someone wants to that's fine. When put in the context of $10 SRL record books and premium emotes, what you actual pay for from the carry guys seems like a better deal for the money.

I tend to look at anything pay to win as pretty much the same.
So, that means if you are the developer, publisher, or some third party making money off of people that have the "I want it now" diseases, I find it hard to respect the people making money off of them.
As for the people that pay, I think some would be better off stepping away from the game, or trying to overcome with there own power.
The younger generation is usually blamed for this idealized instant gratification because mobile games(hugely marketed at ages 9-20, sometimes more/less), but that doesn't explain the older generations doing the same in games like destiny.
Most likely cause would be time.
Older individuals have jobs, and family that mean time is scarce for personal entertainment.
Depression and anxiety can lead to impulse buying as well, but I won't delve into that.
Basically, you need to have time, and a steady life to feel like doing things without seeking instant gratification.
Even people with a great life will seek easy ways out of work. It is human nature to find shortcuts to lessen energy expense.
In conclusion, I find the companies/people abusing human nature for personal gain to be frowned upon.
Similar to drug users/dealers relationship.
Hey you!
