I may be one of the few that hopes they don't bring old raids back.

I hope that means they're considering bringing back some of the raid favorite weapons.

Same. In fact, I wish it were like WoW where you can go back and solo most of the old raids.
As it is now, you still take virtually the same amounts of damage from the baddies.
Absolutely, nothing comes close.
His question has been answered.

SIVA mixed with VOG tech has the ability to ret-con the old raids in a very in-canon way.
Give us a time paradox around February where SIVA infected the timeline and wr must go back and battle in the old Raid to restore the Federation, er, Old Russia!

Jesus Christ...this is BEAUTIFULThis shot got me hype.
Haven't even watched it yet and this just hyped me.
I did three heroic strikes last week and didn't get any legendary marks. Tried one today and didn't get any. So I'm kind of confused. I'm probably doing something wrong and just haven't realized it but yeah. Just curious if it's some weird issue right now that others are dealing with or what.

It's broken I think since the patch. I was able to get Legendary Marks for 1 strike this week but I still have 2 remaining and it won't give me more no matter how many strikes I run.
Interesting. Would love to see something like this play out and more and more interested in Siva as the release gets closer. How does Siva compare to Rasputin and what purpose did it serve in the golden age.

Does Gaf have a clan?

Have they said if the artifacts count as the one exotic for your armor slot? Or could I equip that plus an exotic armor?
Edit: I don't think I know what I'm talking about. Nevermind I'll have to read some more about it.

If you want to feel pain and suffering while having your eyes and ears bleeding again with annoying "entertainers" that have shit skills in the game, you can always rewatch the old reveals.
Here, have one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plR5X6zt0tU

Agreed. And if they aint bringing the weapons up, whats the point? I'd rather have a handful of different raids.

The lens artifacts are only lenses and the special ability artifacts give you special abilities.
you answered your own question, bro

I like that, though. The obstacles preventing soloing anything in the raids is mechanics demanding multiple people and not DPS (mostly).
Definitely interested in blind raiding on the 23, but may be doing it with my clan. Depends how many are working or not.
Hey Gaf, is anyone interested in running challenge mode Kf this weekend? One of my friends (who isn't on Gaf) wants to run it for his MoT, but doesn't really have a team and I can't get on this weekend very much. His PSN is Hero_Shima10 , He's generally pretty chill. Thanks!
I'd like to organize an Xbox group to blind raid when it opens - September 23rd @ 10am PT / 1pm ET
Here's a super fancy image to catch everyone's attention:
Probably too early to start a signup list, but it's coming!
Made this, didn't had much time but if you want to use it, feel free

For the Year 2 Moments, is a full clear of Hard Mode King's Fall required or just a kill of Hard Oryx?

Slightly off topic but anyone else LOVE the 4.0 update on Ps4? The in game guide imo is a game changer and makes the OS officially better then xbox ones to me. It's just so much smoother and snappy. Sony really did an awesome job.

HM Oryx kill.

Thanks! Having a hard time getting a full hard raid together, hoping that maybe I can just pick up the checkpoint from LFG. Work is nuts this week, quickly running out of time to finish that last Moment.
Warframe is pretty good and closer to Destiny than Division.

I haven't had a chance to play with it much yet, but I have heard there are quite a few very useful features, such as toggling button mapping on/off.
There are more customization options definitely, but the one you mentioned (custom button mapping) was already in the previous version. But, like all things, it was buried beneath a mountain of menus.
I thought it was pretty rad that when looking under the Destiny icon, before even booting into the game, I could see my friends list playing different crucible playlists and activities along with a join button next to each one.

I haven't tried toggling button mapping yet into the quick guide but I assume it can be done since you can customize it anyway you like. I was a HUGE fan of xbox 360 guide and this feels just like it in terms of speed and functionality. Imo xb1 current interface even after all the updates is not as refined as Sony's current OS.

Similar question. Just jumped back in and I'm at ~290 depending on gear. I would at least like to get Challenge of Elders done but I need 320, so I'm assuming I'm going to have to raid?

What? Are you sure you are not confused by the people racing to get these things done by the 20th in order to get shaders, emblems and a the right to purchase a t-shirt?
AFAIK you will still be able to obtain all of that stuff (just like you can go back and run VoG for the Mythoclast). There are some things that will probably be unobtainable after RoI, like the past iron banner gear/emblems, Trials gear/emblems, and of course the year 2 Triumphs stuff. It happened in year 1 (year 1 had different Iron Banner, Trials, and Triumphs rewards that have not appeared in year 2), so it shouldn't be a surprise if it happens again for that specific stuff. But as far as the quest stuff, like the Touch of Malice, I think you'll still be able to get those without any more issues than before.
I am even more confused???
What will the Rise of Iron update means for the current game? Will anything be removed or become unobtainable?

Fingers crossed I will be high enough to do this on release day (330 at present)
10am is about 5-6pm UK I think so should be home by then.
I don't think fragments or weapons are going away. Trials gear is no longer obtainable from Y2 and people are racing to complete Triumphs for Y2 before that expires.
