Oh! Those things. Yeah I know how to deal with them.

Yeah I figured.

Anyway I'm finding the best way to powerlevel light is farming heroic strikes. Use a vanguard rep booster and 3oc. Vendor packages don't always give good rolls but are often higher light. Great infusion fodder. The problem with PoE is that it is harder, longer and the rewards don't seem very good. Of course it is more fun.

Level 41 POE is a complete waste of time. No rewards worth a damn at all.

Pretty much, plus the taken PoE can be a bear to get through at times if your team isn't decent. Way too long to get through with no good rewards.

The drops are terrible, but I did get a good Aegis of the Reef pulse rifle from a Variks package.

This gun seems really good in pvp (the 24 round mag is terrible for pve)

I've seen enough to want to buy Rise Of Iron. Re-downloading Destiny on my XBOX One now. The game is quite enjoyable since Taken King released, and this expansion will make it even more enjoyable.
 
I'm really enjoying the game now. TTK and the later patches have made it a lot more fun and the grind a little more manageable. I can still get to max light level and never have to raid if I don't have time to.

I just hope Destiny 2 can get dedicated servers to help clean up the lag in pvp. That would be amazing.

I'm confused. Is that just a House of Judgment rank up package...or a level 42 challenge package?

The 2 rank up packages I got from Variks had nothing but materials in it.

Having said that, I completed this weeks crucible bounties for the good reward and got nothing...no weapon or armour. No clue WTF that is about.

Just a house judgement rank up package. I was only doing 41 PoE. I just ranked up Variks and got a nice pulse rifle. Kill them back. Yes? :)

Usually I get crap from Variks too but this time I got lucky.

Honestly this is the best loot - leveling up factions and vendors. The sterling packages that drop free every week give tons of rep boosters so you can farm strikes or PoE and get tons of rep quickly. Vanguard and vendor gear isn't always a good roll but always seems to be a good light. Throw in 3oc for exotics and such and it seems to work well. Heck I don't even bother with the challenge of elders or the raid or even the nightfall. I'm getting a steady stream from the lower end stuff. Now with burn you can melt heroic strike bosses in seconds (it is actually quite hilarious).

One nice thing is they've improved drops quite a bit in the last few patches. Now with a few hours I feel like I'm making fairly stable progress.

My other issue is I keep bouncing back and forth between PS4 and X1 which is killing my progress. Gotta pick a platform and stick with it.

I may take you up on that. My problem is I keep bouncing back and forth between X1 and PS4. My X1 character has better gear and more progress, plus the elite controller, but PS4 seems to have more people playing which seems to lead to better matchmaking. (could just be me imagining but the skill based seems to work better on PS).

You make up half of my friends on PS4. My other friend is my good friend's teenage kid who I can't keep up with. :laugh:

The latest Xbox Dash preview has those clubs and LFG feature included. Not sure if I have the update yet, but it could be good for finding a group to play Destiny with, so I will give it a bash once I get hold of it.
 
Wow... just a heads up, the latest patch is 12gb :surprise:

The good news is you can start downloading now while the servers are down for maintenance. Must be all the Rise of Iron stuff.

It is. They did it with TTK too.

Servers won't even be back up for me until around midnight anyway. So I am no big rush to download the patch.

At 12gb I'm worried it will be done by the time the game comes back online (7pm here).

Here are weapon balancing patch notes. I like everything except Thorn. As a year 1 player I would like Thorn and all who wield it to die horribly, be brought back to live, then re-killed in an even more horrible way.

They actually sound pretty decent this time round.

As for Thorn:I wouldn't worry about it, that 25% damage reduction will be huge. If it isn't, there is always that artefact in Rise of Iron that limits damage over time effects.

I'm sure, I just cringe anytime I hear the name. So many bitter year 1 memories.

Anyway, I don't see how that patch was 12gb. Mine finished already. I wonder if they just verify all the game files or something, because there's no way I downloaded 12gb that fast.

It is 12gb. They did say something about potential issues if the download was interrupted.

I know what you mean with Thorn. It single handidly kept me from wanting to play Crucible. Its dominance was ridiculous.

Yeah Thorn kills me. What gets me is how overpowered it was, and still after multiple nerfs it still is powerful in the crucible when light level doesn't matter. I still hate all hand cannons because of it.
 
So it seems you can get the new Rise of Iron exotic sidearm called Tresspasser(looks like Robocops gun) early, and Bungie doesn't seem bothered about it.

Also, it seems boots are decrypting at rise of Iron levels(336-339) too.
 
Awesome. I have to get my PS4 character leveled up. Of course I only have 2 exotics on PS4... both of which Xur is selling again this week. :(

So glad to see sidearms coming back. Hopefully can do some owning in the crucible this weekend.

All the hand cannon whiners on Reddit are killing me. "Wahhhhhh hand cannons don't dominate the meta anymore waaaahhhhhh. I miss hand cannons from year 1!!"

Sometimes I wish I could reach through the internet and slap some people.

No weapon should dominate the meta, if it does that would = unbalanced.

Also, maybe they should 'git gud' cause the Last Word is still op if you use it right.
 
Anyone playing Destiny on the PS3 (are there different lobbies for the PS3 and 4?) hit me up and show my how much I suck!
I just started playing vidjyea games again!

That's what gets me. Hand cannons are still very good and highly used. Perception is funny in this game. Weapons get a small nerf and suddenly people think they are junk. Guns like the Mida and Last Word are still very, very strong in spite of the nerfs.

Gamers are funny sometimes. I think they spend so much time watching youtube streamers they forget to just try things out themselves.

That Eyesluna Handcannon thing is still wrecking too.

Such bitching is par for the course though. Nobody is ever really happy unless they are completely dominating without much effort.

Yep, they also complain about the skill factoring into the matchmaking. So now the youtube streamers can't pubstomp as easily. They just can't enjoy it when they have to "try hard" every match.

I really think it is one of the whiniest communities out there.

My only beef with the new patch is now suddenly I'm getting green drops again. Maybe after ROI they will be higher light but I really don't need sub 200 stuff at 300+. :smash:
 
Woot! Just got my Dead Orbit exotic cloak quest.

Also noticed that Hunter cloaks now change to your shader. Tanik's strike specific cloak looks pretty darn good with Chatterwhite shader.

It is par for the course with the green drops. Once you hit a certain light level(relative to ROI) they will disappear again.
 
What's weird is I get lots of greens. Plus all my blues decrypt to either 244 or 245. Like every time. Legendary are always in the 260s. It just seems weird.

Oh and also they stealth nerfed the heck out of titans. :txbmad: I thought I was nuts that my jumping was off. Turns out they nerfed titan skating and shoulder charge - all with zero mention in the patch notes.

I hope everyone at Bungie gets an itch on that spot on their backs where it is impossible to reach.
 
Woot! Got me a Badger CCL. I have always wanted one of these, but when I joined Destiny you could no longer get them. But I have one now. Woot! :banana::banana:

The engrams and decryption is because we are now on ROI algorithms. Taken King is now like all the other parts of the game, levelling up content. Once you hit something like Light Level 340-345 it should be back to what it was prior to this update.

That is ok. Titans needed a little nerf. At least it isn't a weak piece of paper like the Hunter is now. It can barely take any damage in PvE.
 
I got a Tresspasser exotic sidearm! Seems pretty good, although hard to compare because I haven't tried sidearms since the buff.

I haven't even got a special exotic engram since the update, let alone getting one to decypt into the new exotic:sad::sad:

Haven't had a boot exotic engram neither.
