I think the main reason people do it is so that they can transfer all their armour to their alts. 3x raids/NFs a week with minimal effort
yeah, rank up packages is the way to go
If you're not full I'm in. KC_Darkness.

Which method is the best?
The post-350 change really pissed me off last night. I had maybe 8-10 potential improved drops that saw only one come out higher than what I had. Everything else was either the level I was at or one below. The message then becomes "don't do this legit, because it's a waste of your time"

As of last night, lets see what the raid brings, you should be able to do it <10 light the recommend.

This is the first time people have the capability to hit max light before the raid even started so I don't know what is "worse" about this year. You're getting worked up over nothing. It is clear 365 is the intended 'max' you'd be able to reasonable get before the raid, as most people don't even have the resources to grind packages as you are able to. You are more than well-geared, enjoy the raid in an hour and I'm sure that ghost (and other gear) will be a lot easier to get.
Sent you a message on PSN if you have room - only 356 but should be able to get 360 before 2.

I wanted to chime in and let you know that I found another group for a 1pm raid. Sorry and GL.
Hunter with tether and two storm callers is all you need.

Anyone need a GraveRobberX for Raid just as it releases
368 Warlock, 367 Titan, 367 Hunter
368 Warlock, 367 Titan, 367 Hunter
You can join my group since we need 1 more. I dunno the composition though since it's all random and I'm just tagging along.
Crap I just checked, we are full
If ya'll haven't, shoot me (PSN: Afrodeeziyak) a FR.
I think I got you graverobber lol
I got two different "But Not Forgotten" sniper rifles from the Archon Forge this morning. Love the sound the thing makes. One of them rolled Perfect Balance / Hammer Forged, Explosive Rounds / Single Point Sling, Hidden Hand / Triple Tap, which seems like a pretty flexible set of perks.
Has anyone gotten "The Unbent Tree" from there? That's the weapon I'd really like to get from the Forge as the only other decent bullet hose on the vendors seems like "The Continental" from Vanguard, but I don't know how long it'll be before I have 175 LMs again while I grind out Light levels.

366/365/365 right now .. any raid groups need a lonely guardian 
See the problem with the situation is that TTK took 1+ year to make and then had the April update which was sort of a small addition to breath some life into the game. You could say they could afford to have the April update be small due to how large TTK was.
But despite all this I make a prediction that the April update for year 3 won't really be any bigger than April update this year, and no one would care because we Destiny players will eat up anything. In fact the next April update may even be less and people will just say it's the live team working on it which is small since most of the studio is on Destiny 2. Which is entire another issue, what happens once Destiny 2 launches ? Will we have the same skeleton crew for live team releasing nearly amount of content while the bulk of the studio works on Destiny 3?

Can't get a ghost to drop from a rank up at all. Stuck at 373 with a 365 ghost.

Which method did you do? Strange coins to heavy ammo from Xur and then faction rank up? Or something else
No...it takes way too much ammo.
Dark Drinker is a suitable replacement and is just as fast as raze lighter.
That suggestion about two warlocks is good too but it only works in heroics but why are you even running heroics when you can take her down in 10-15 seconds in 320 strike with no danger while with heroic there is always a riwitof failure since it's arc burn.

Also god I'm dealing with horrible luck when trying to do strikes. So many people AFK. But people want raids to have MM. SMH.
I'm guessing a combination of this and vanguard boosts
Ah well I do have a dark drinker at least so I suppose I'll use that.
Hey guys, so originally I was going to wait for Destiny 2 to jump into this world but with the recent Iron expansion which covers everything in snow (I just fucking love snow and winter environments) which had me intrigued, and just today the Taken King Legendary edition went on sale at Best Buy Canada for $20, I decided to say fuck it and jump in now.
The main reason I wanted to wait initially was because this all looks overwhelming, but having gotten it now, is there an easy beginner guide or some sort of advice on how to start? I assume just go through the story missions and then figure out what raids are and what things to grind and what not?
Is there a particularly good but indirect way to level up or get guns or cool armor...etc?
Also, last question, I assume the snow environment turns on only when you get to the expansion missions, right? Or can. Start with the Iron questline so I get the snow right away?
Many thanks!
Edit: also, does the Trial contain everything, just locked? I see it's 46GB, so can I just use that and pop the disc in when it gets here?

I'll roll with you guys Hzoltan. I think we're already friends on PSN.
Will everyone be blind or are you guys planning to watch streams until then?
Okay, a couple of these were ambiguous but I did my best:
1. Hawkian
2. Androo
3. Azolith
4. Zocano
5. Not Mindlog?
6. Jayforone
Please toss Hawkian on PSN a friend request if we don't have each other yet!
These are additionally potential alts:
---
If anyone on the list can't make it, please let me know. If anyone listed as a tentative alt definitely CAN make it, also please let me know so you can be the first I grab.
Also, if you do plan to come, please don't watch streams or look up videos/impressions/etc. I really want us to discover this for ourselves.
I'm working from home but going to take a break here and there and grind a bit more to maybe get a little above 355 and with a loadout I can actually rely on.
I see the inevitable backlash has already begun but for the moment I am really, really pumped. Can't wait to jump in!
These four were the first to commit, though I'm not sure what Mindlog meant by not for you?
1. Hawkian
2. Androo

Wait the normal strike playlist also drops up to 365 blues from bosses? Wut
Damn. The difference between Enhanced and Perfected SIVA offerings is huge. Whereas the others Bosses die in like 1 hit, the Perfected Servitor is a bullet sponge.
Lost my Perfected offering, me and another random couldn't do it.
Yeah, they're a good bit tougher. Especially the Perfected Shank one, which seems like its in a class of its own compared to the other three. I've cleared the other three but I don't think I've seen the Shank one down yet, I can't remember. Some salty fucker sent me a PSN message when we failed the Shank one this morning because he started it with a bunch of ~340s who got mega reamed, like I was supposed to save the day with a Blessing bubble (which would not have done shit for those dudes trying to play axe hero at that Light level) when I was a Sunbreaker. I was pretty glad it was his offering that gave me that other sniper.
For the Servitor one, it is probably the easiest one to do if you take up a position sort of behind the dome that isn't surrounded by fire. You can avoid most of the angles the other Servitors have on you and just Gjallahorn and snipe them down and take cover behind the dome as needed.

Man. I was having no luck finding people in Archon's Forge last night. I played a few rounds, but after we all ran out of offerings there was nothing more we could do. It's a lot of fun, though.
Went up to 349. My Ghost is holding me back, so I'm just gonna buy one from one of the vendors.

That's how i've been ranking up from 320. At 345 now from 320 strike playlist.
I totally agree, that's disappointing and pretty surprising. I thought Splicer Dregs would have "a thing," like Taken Psions, that makes them a memorable addition. They really are all just basically reskins with a few different weapons.

Odd, I only saw max 340 stuff from that playlist. From the director though the strike bosses do drop up to 365.
