They're the same.
Yes you can get the fragment on normal, not required to do it on hard.
You do however need to kill oryx on hard once for the final fragment if you don't have it already.

So are they referring to the raid or something else?
Ruthless_Barbarian

Yes, challenge mode rotates between the 3 raid bosses every week.
CM basically requires the fireteam to kill the raid bosses under specific conditions to complete the challenge and get a bonus loot chest + fragment + emblem.

oooh, I see. I did not know the game offered such a mode. Thanks.

You can add my name to that, along with Noisepurge and his buddy. I'm light level 296. Is that enough?
Agent_Tiro

Its not a seperate mode as such. It is within the normal or hard raid as you select. You just have to defeat a boss in a certain way to complete the challenge.

Will doing the Nightfall give any benefit over doing something like the strike playlist after you've already done it for the week?
Ruthless_Barbarian

Nightfalls have the highest chance of dropping the strike legendary item, and up to 335 light (based on +6 of your light level).

Think we have a full team if robo and zakalwe are around at the same time

I see. Well if you need me, I'll be here. I'd like to participate.
See I think the copy I got from my fried has vanilla plus the first two expansions, all I'm missing is TTK and RoI. Is it my only option?

Edging for me isn't about LL numbers. It's about the gear inside at first. Why would I be worried about edging it over for LL at the launch? Not like I'll get one package and never play again.
AuthenticM

I'm confused. What downside is there to being overleveled for something?
the fragment is available on both, reason most do it on hard is for the double drops.
Son is at school tomorrow but he can spare an extra hour, early would be good if poss though.

Me and my buddy are ready whenever, sent you a friend request and zakalwe i already have on my list
normal is fine too, i also just need the last fragment.I'll be available from 6-7pm onward, probably 6 but it might be a little after.
I think what people are saying is you'll get TTK and RoI when it drops (Sep 20) for one price, rather than buying TTK now and then RoI later.
There is no penalty to bring overlevrled. It doesn't provide a tremendous armor benefit, as the enemies can still hurt you, but your DPS when 40 vs 32 or 34 is much better.

No downside, the loot is also determined based on your level, not the enemy's. You can still get level 40 drops doing level 4 earth patrols.

I meant on the forums, not questioning the Club name.DestinyGAF seems like the best club name, so let's try and point people to that
I'll see if I can add a note pointing to DestinyGAF in case someone happens to search for it.
To be honest, on the Xbox side, I don't think we lack for communication options...it's getting everyone to reliably use the same one that doesn't seem to have worked too well.
The Discord channel works well for chat and LFG and people are slowly getting signed up on it.
There have been the100 groups in the past and things like that but they've fizzled out again. Hopefully Discord plus the Xbox club will be enough.
Two quick questions:
I am at level 29, what LL should I be at?
I picked up the level 25 boost with my level 29 character. Now I can't find the level boost. Should I have picked the boost up with a new character? Is it gone?
Well, that is pretty cool.

You want to first work toward level 40, and then you'll work on your light level. One step at a time though. Do bounties and story missions, daily story and crucible, and you'll get experience from those activities - pushing your level up higher. We can talk about light level once you hit 40.

LOL Thanks for the response!

As said above, don't even sweat light levels until you hit 40 - at that point you'll unlock more of the strike playlists, legendary marks, and all sorts of options for gear that will help you start buffing up. Just do the story until you hit 40, and roll in some Crucible if that's your thing.
I might be mistaken but I think you have to finish the first set of TTK story missions (ending with Regicide and the late title card) before you unlock the King's Fall raid. On the other hand, you don't have to complete the vanilla story missions to open up VoG or Crota's End, as they'll open when you reach a certain level or LL.
And the Spark of Light you picked up should be in your Inventory, but I'm not sure where. Of you use an app gear manager like Ishtar Commander or the official Destiny app you can look for it - it might have moved over to the vault for some reason, or maybe postmaster if you were full.
What time, what level do you need to be? Also, what expansion? as only have EX 1/2.
I'll look there. Thanks!

Light level 280 minimum. The time will depend on the others, but I should be available all day. My only obligation is doing the groceries, which I should do before noon EST.
I don't know to what you refer by "expansion".
Me and my buddy are ready whenever, sent you a friend request and zakalwe i already have on my list
will get online between 6-7 the UK time, bash this out quick on normal, no KNIGHTS!!

Rats, my LL disqualifies me. I will be on for a few hours later, so if you wanna team up for some Crucible just look for me.
Expansion I/II The Dark Below and House of Wolves. I don't have TTK.

Not having TTK means that the oryx raid isnt available to you. TTK is probably best expansion destiny has had in terms of story development and quests.

Oh, I see. Well if you don't have The Taken King, I would highly suggest buying the physical Collection in a week. You'll have everything with that.

I didn't find it that good for PvP time between bursts and range drop off made it not feel as effective as my Häkke ones.
Added!
There isn't a hard mode fragment, though.
Yeah, I am borrowing my nephew TTK game, but he already download everything. I have HoW/TDB from the Destiny LE. But The Collection is already preordered and paid for!
That might be an idea. Let's see when we are both on later. Thanks!

Anyone else have XBone pre-order transactions go through today? Dealing with Microsoft support right now. Had an old credit card on file and received notice from my card company that a transaction with Microsoft was declined. Microsoft seems to have no idea what's going. Just curious if other people have had pre-order transactions go through so that I can figure out what the heck is going on.
Waki? If so, yup.
Taking care of quests I had left behind: boy, the one to unlock the weekly crucible bounties goes on FOR.EV.ER.
Been working on it since yesterday and it seems I have still a good while to go... What was their reason to make it so fucking long? The completion percentage for this one must be so low...

You can just solo it and kill the knight for the emblem. Just did it yesterday. There's a hole in the ceiling above the ramp in the area with the large turbine. Hard to explain. Just watch a video of it. The knight is also and ultra so use your 3oC on him.
