Is there a way to get the Goldspiral shader without Iron Banner? Is it also a random drop, or am I just SOL.

One player has to be a sunsinger and suicide just before teleport, that way Atheon only teleports the other player and the sunsinger can revive outside.
Yeah, same stuff

Yes, go for it.
It's on a timer I believe, takes about 2-3 minutes. Faster if you kill some fanatics.

New raid gear that has more light off course.

I'm dreading it! RNG grind to 30 to do the moon raid, only to have to RNG grind the moon raid to get to 32.
Iron Banner really should be a way to go up to 30 (32) without PvE.
I really hope they'll do something to adress people like me, who greatly enjoy the game but do not want to do the raids (and don't care about PVP).
I'm ok only being able to achieve level 29/30 right now, but I'd be more than disappointed if the DLC didn't allow me to raise my level a bit more. We need a second tier of legendaries that are not raid exclusive.
Here's hoping they guarantee you at least 1 piece of raid gear per trip, complete 100% RNG, where it's possible to get nothing but ass shards and energy is bullshit, I mean the chatterwhite shader is guaranteed right? Just change that to something rewarding.

Nothing is guaranteed, not even the shader.
You should check the Raid thread. Lots of people asking/offering help. Easy to get someone there with a checkpoint.

There are some new exotics that probably have a higher light level.
I want me some Radiant Dance Machines. They better not be capped at 30.
Same here, I'd really just love to get some raid gear so I can do this legit. I've been getting insanely unlucky with drops and spending shards on suboptimal gear has been slowly killing me inside. I spent an afternoon on Destinylfg just trying to tag along but if you have nothing to contribute and don't know anybody there's really no incentive for them to bring you along.
I would guess that the next tier of legendaries will get you to 30 (same as current raid gear) and the next tier of raid gear (and exotics?) will get you to the new cap (32? 35?)
Yesterday for the first time i had nothing to do. Did daily and all non pvp bounties with my 3 characters. Vanguard marks cap reached.
I don't play pvp and had no one to raid with.
Tried patrol and events, but got bored pretty fast.
Turned off ps4 and played shadow of mordor on pc instead.

Even that's not guaranteed, it just has the highest chance of dropping lol.

Lifting the cap on Exotics, probably. We'll be able to wear a full set, and then we'll need moon Raid Gear to get to 32. With the amount of Exotics we're getting in the DLC, there's no way they're going to make the stuff we already have obsolete already.
That would be awesome.
Guarantee 1 piece and people will complain about getting the same piece twice. Whatever the raid gives people will complain they aren't getting more. Personally I like the raid loot as it is - "working as intended"
Chatterwhite isn't guaranteed
Wow, I got one every time I've raided I just assumed...
Well, yeah, fix that shit Bungie!
Still better than the current system where it's possible to get NOTHING, just ass shards to equipment you was aiming to get.
My lightbeware void fusion rifle has a glitch where sometimes it doesn't start to charge a shot when you pull the trigger. Sucks when I am trying to get void kills in crucible because by the time I find out that it's not charging I'm essentially already dead. There is no instant indication regarding whether or not it's starting to charge, you have to wait to find out.
Would prefer that, although it would expose the 'one exotic' cap as pure time-gating.
I do really hope they can build PvP into the levelling system more though.
hope you get lucky next time! Running a hard raid isn't easy
We still have Gatekeeper and Atheon left so I'm hoping to get boots before reset. If I can't get back together with the same crew, I'm offering my services to whoever has the Atheon checkpoint. If you can cheese him, even better.
I hope this never happens, and I very much doubt it ever will. Would make many legendaries obsolete.
I also doubt it'll happen, but not for the same reasons.
The current legendaries are bound to become obsolete, at one point or another, if Bungie is serious about giving a continued support to the game. They will have to be replaced by something better for people to be interested in the DLCs.
Why I doubt it'll ever happen is because of all the special perks exotics give: that would probably become a little bit too much if you could have exotics everywhere.

That's pretty much how every loot based game / MMO works.
I can't see them ever making our Exotics obsolete, so the same would probably be true for legendaries.
And I didn't just mean our current legendaries. I meant all future ones too.
Have they confirmed the level cap will be raised?
Edit: to avoid confusion, I mean weapons. Obviously they're need to make our armour obsolete to raise the light level (unless they introduce a new mechanic, of course).
As above, if they make out gear obsolete then they'd have to make our current exotic pool obsolete too as they share the same limit. I doubt they'll want to reduce the viable pool.
Destiny is very much it's own creature despite borrowing so many singular parts. The Exotic limit is a large part of the foundation of its character design, there's very little chance they'll change that imo.

Mine actually does that as well... No idea why! But shit is it frustrating.
Does anybody have a raid save at Gorgon maze?, or just after templar death? - I require one for experimental purposes - doesn't matter what difficulty, and before someone sighs and assumes its for loot - i have completed the raid already this week, i just want the freedom to explore the gorgon maze area on my own and fully explore the cave system for any as of yet undiscovered secrets.
This has helped me a lot. Leveling my stuff up WAY faster now.
Why's that?
Every current legendary armor that is not a raid piece is already "obsolete".
And the pieces they will introduce in the next raid will render those obsolete as well.
This is how MMOs and their extensions work.
Otherwise it would mean staying at 30 forever, and no reason to buy the DLC...
Nope, they didn't.
But they really should add more than a few strikes and story missions to make me interested in the DLCs!
If the new pieces of armor are just the same than our current legendaries, I see no reason why I should try and get those instead of my currently upgraded ones...
Because the raid weapons aren't higher either and, as I said, I doubt they'll want to reduce the viable pool of usable items. Instead I'm sure they'll just attune the content for weapons with the 300 dmg limit.
With the way damage scaling works, light levels could rise and weapon damage could stay at 300.

So I decided to give Destiny one more shot and went into Crucible with my TDYK with explosive rounds this time. Explosive rounds wrecks people, period. It staggers players and makes them miss their shots. I was averaging a K/D of ~2.5 each game for 8 games in a row.
I went up against a TLW player and won my encounters everytime. Looking around the internet, a reddit user also agrees with me that HCs with explosive rounds is pretty ridiculous in pvp. I wonder if this will be patched.

Yep, and it'll feel weird, but it's true. All gear we're using now will be obsoleted fairly quickly (in PvE, anyways). S'why the shader, ships, and sparrow are technically more valuable
.If they give the Mythoclast more +ATK, it'll last a bit longer.....
Speaking of, separately?
ANYONE else feel exotics aren't good enough compared to Legendaries currently?
Yeah, I hate you lol.
I agree with that, but I was mainly speaking about armor pieces.
For light levels to rise you need new "tiers" of armors, and those will render the current ones "obsolete".
I don't know why people love that shader that much.
Got it really early in the game, and always found it quite ugly. :/
Heh. Ever since I got my most coveted weapon (TLW), my RNG has gone from great to "ok".
I don't mind though, had a good run. :3
Obviously. I was only ever talking about weapons.
Edit: seems I didn't mention I meant weapons only at all, that's where the confusion came from. Sorry!

Good to know.
I unlocked explosive rounds for my Lord High Fixer last night but only used it in PvE.
I guess I need to try my Fatebringer out in PVP then. Not a fan of explosive rounds in pve so I'm glad to hear they are useful in pvp.
