I didn't find the grind to 365 to be bad at all. Almost everything will reward you with something relevant:
320 strike
Heroic Strikes
Nightfall
Omnigal Farm
CoE
CoO
AF
ToC farming.
There really is plenty to do to negate the feeling of grinding.

I think they craziest thing about the new exotic pulse rifle quest is the thing STARTS at 390 LL.
In 368 Hunter
Duh. I didn't even think about doing the legacy activities. Thank you sir, this should make things much easier.

I wonder if they'll do Festival of the Lost again this year.
One of my favorite guns, even after all the nerfs. And one of the truly exotic Exotics, it's a real shame that Bungie left it behind.

There'll be an October event. Also, SRL is coming back in December.

Here's hoping that the LL was intended and we don't have another Black Spindle roll back moment.
Black Spindle originally dropped at 310, but was not supposed to be that high according to Bungie, so they reduced the LL down to the intended 290 for everyone.
Though with the current infusion system, I guess that won't be as much of an issue.

How difficult is this new quest? Seemed kind of overwhelming just by reading the steps.

That's why I want to get one on each character ASAP so I can infuse two of them into other guns, which they can't roll back.
Though it won't matter in a few weeks anyway haha

Wonder what LL they come out of the kiosk at? I love the idea of this dropping at a level that matches the difficulty of the quest, but it has the potential to really unbalance IB and trials.
What exotic pulse quest?

How did that work? Did you guys curb stomp the other team?
Good Lord - that lobby is pure sweat LOL. Trials is going to be rage inducing for sure.
EDIT: Can we get a screenshot of the results page (Kills/Death/Captures)? =)

We won, but the pulse is not an OP pvp gun.
That reminds me, does anyone know the general effect LL differences will have on players? Will the damage you do to someone be significantly impacted if you're say 10 to 20 LL lower?Trials will be interesting
Great title.

For anyone working on Y3 thorn quest, telesto is a fantastic void weapon to use for it, as void grenades sticky to your target, I got a ton of post mortem kills with that. It only seems to count actual kills, not assists too. I equipped my word of crota as well although its hard to get a kill with it. Still, without a death penalty like the Y1 thorn bounty its pretty easy, I'm already at 50% after an hour or so of crucible.
Unless they changed it in RoI light level has minimal difference in trials. The difference between a 290 and a 335 was like 5% more damage done/taken, if the light level is within 20 its closer to 1%. Same for Iron Banner. Obviously between equally skilled players the higher light person is going to have a tiny advantage, but in general the difference is minimal.

well, that's disappointing. at least it won't get nerfed to hell like with the Vex.
Death penalty was the only bad thing about that quest. It made the quest a chore and made you play differently. I'm liking this change. Heard the thorn is identical to Year 1. NMaybe I should just infuse the one in the Vault.

Let me know if you're good to run it still. PSN: TheCanisDirus or let me know yours and i'll shoot you a FR.
If not no worries... i just want to get on a team and run it and the pulse quest today

Yeah it seems majorly complicated. All of this stuff requiring mixed fireteam steps and multiple raid completions....ugh. I keep hearing how people think it's so much better than the Sleeper quest, but I'd that that over this any day.

That's no fun
nooo, i'm still at work.
Gonna have to run that artifact that strips your super and gives you extra nade and boost to stats. Maybe that'll help?
I'm expecting higher LL's to run around with no sprint cooldown artifact and with matadors/quasi's.
There's been a couple of runs that I haven't been able to partake in, but count me in for anything going further. PSN: SilvardCT. Only 367 but I've done the raid several times.
