the lack of information rather. personally didn't feel like i walked out of that knowing anything i didn't already read or infer, and i don't appear to be alone in that sentiment.
I prefered urk's updates.
One more, anyone?!
Iron Banner is a joke.
I did a fair bit of Queens stuff because the chance of legendary gear was there.
I am not grinding another rep for shitty gear I already have, and I still cant see any difference in "power".
I do the same damage to level 8s and level 30s, at 28.
You cant advertise it as "power matters" then not have power matter.
The weekly update is a joke and tells us nothing.
This coupled with all the d/c's I get, its becoming difficult to keep playing.

And what the fuck is that, pray?
3v3 PVP tournament. Keep winning to get higher ranks or something, lose too much and you have to buy your way back in, sounds fun. 3v3 is where this game's PVP shines anyways, should have been the focus from the get go.

Well upgrading weapons is fine, just don't spend too ascendant energy on stuff you know might get a debuff. So AR's are one. Scout Rifles are definitely getting a buff though, but we don't know how much.
I have the same gun with shittier perks. Haven't upgraded it yet, might start soon and see how it compares to my other legendary scout rifle, the Crypt dweller.
Next event is called 'Collectathon'.
"We know you guys love to collect things, so take part in this great new 'event'. Kill 10,000 fallen for thingamabobs and combine them with 4,000 Relic Iron to become legend."
3v3 tournament where you "buy in" with motes of light. Consecutive wins means better prizes while each loss gets you closer to elimination. Unique gear and weapons along with extra ascendant materials. I probably won't be playing the game by the time that rolls around.
Okay, more TDM. That sure will bring in some variety to what's already there. I already experienced something similar with Uncharted 3's tournament tickets. I wonder if they will monetize them here as well.
I saw the list of weapons that will be available in TOS. It's crap nobody but newbies could want.

L28 Defender here, looking for a normal raid party on PS4.
I have completed it before.

I got a second Timur's Lash after having a great match in Iron Banner with the first.
This one has additional damage after a kill rather than additional damage after reloading after a kill. Better.
I sharded the first forgetting they don't give ascendant mats after. Argh.
When does IB gear start to drop? Rank 1, 2, or 3?
I can join you at 11:00 ET. L29 Warlock with a shiny new Ice Breaker.

Would any gaffers be willing to help a 28 titan on ps 4 do the nightfall
On about 2 hours

Yeah - that's what I meant. The ascended energy expenditure.

Got another pocket infinity bounty and leveled up Vanguard again. Got Dr Nope. Is the gun worth it?
Well that's 2!
I believe Fat of All Fools is tied to Osiris...
Willing to join, but never raided before. Can I still?

Found the all black legendary shader called The Revenant. (Exotic chest piece cant be colored all black)
Got it from rank 11 dead orbit.
Sweet.
Wish Faction Vendors sold Shaders though, like they did in the Alpha.
Is it really so hard to be concise and to the point? Had to skim through a novel of nonsense this guy wrote just to find the information that's actually relevant. Good to know Iron Banner is completely pointless just like the Queen's event, and probably won't change much at all, so you might as well just stick with Crucible. I love how their solution to people leaving is essentially to remind them they might get something at the end. LMAO.

I've read through it and thought to same. It's hypocrisy.
"We want you to gather 6 powerful friends to do the VoG. But we won't enable matchmaking cause it's for the hardcore!"
"Iron Banner is for the hardcore player. But we're going to standardize all the gear levels anyway and tell you that skill is the REAL power, whilst shooing away those videos where level 4 guardians do the same damage as a level 29 guardian."
Good god.
And this part-
Yeah uhm...they get REDUCED crucible marks, reduced XP, and gear has a much, much smaller chance at appearing in the loot table.
Nope. It really isn't that much different. Just another grind for gear that is easily replaceable for gear that you can already get from a faction you leveled.

Yeah. They need to find a way to dialogue this kind of stuff out. You can figure most of it out through inference in the Grimoire but that's clearly not a great way to deliver the story.
As for your questions...
That's because the two rooms are exactly the same room that you enter in the beginning. Green is before The Darkness ever attacked, Brown is after The Darkness destroys everything. The Present is a pocket of all Space and Time at once so it has no truly unique features. Next time your team is wiping and you're in a portal, jump around the room a bit before you die and you'll see it's the same room that Atheon is in. When you're doing Gatekeeper, you're running from the "front" of the room to the stairs at the "back" and when you're doing Atheon, you're running from the "back" of the room to the portals at the "front."
The sacrifices, at my best guess, is The Vex trying to block you from unlocking the next section. In the Story missions, you have to charge a Gate Lord head with the Conflux specifically for The Black Garden. To open the door to the raid, you have to activate and complete the building of a giant conflux. The first part of The Templar is again, activating and protecting Confluxes. I don't know much about IT but I want to say the confluxes are like Password or maybe doors that break through The Vex's firewalls (so to speak) allowing further entry into their system. Something like that anyways.

Apologies for the late response btw.
Thank you but like I said, bits of it are from the Grimoire, others parts are theories/ideas I've seen elsewhere (Reddit and Bungie.net) and some is my interpretation. Most of the heavy lifting for that synopsis wasn't me.
Yeah, I've seen it once or twice. Pretty funny when it happens.

Is anyone looking to do the Raid or the Nightfall? My Raid group just fell apart.

Normal Raid on PS4? I could do a Raid, if we get enough.
Dude, all you need to do is equip a Dead Orbit piece, play every day for a month ranking up 11 levels and pray to the RNGesus. That's much more fun than buying something you want.../s. Shader is sweet, though.

Omg, I just unlocked the stability upgrade on my New Monarchy Vanquisher and my first Iron Banner match with it I went 27-6. So much impact and the sights sit right on the head and the last half of the magazine do extra damage. It was mowing people down so quick. This might be the start of something beautiful......until they nerf it and then back to my trusty Last Word.

If nothing else our pain is good for a laugh..
Game changer and game breaker. It made the weekly 28 heroic that was a bit of a challenge, at least the other day, absolutely pathetically easy solo today. That's without even having any upgrades.

Anyone want to help on 28 heroic?

I want a black shader but I'm not even Rank 1 with Dead Orbit
Trying to find Xbox players on here is harder than looking for steak at a vegan convention. I'm still game and could hopefully invite some people with the promise of raid quality shards(!) for little time investment.
