"is everyone ready? Oh wait S111nghs has legged it already"
hehe

Every guardian for himself I am simply getting ahead so I can turn around and cover from the front. smile

DD- I've just unlocked the crucible element of that bounty so will need to get that done first. I'm happy to run the last leg with you though, when done. smile Also, I will be on tonight and happy to run through the nightfalls and weeklies as per usual.

My prediction- Valus with solar burn. shoot

Almost correct smile Weekly / Nightfall is indeed Valus Ta'aurc. Modifiers for nightfall being:

Angry
Epic
Juggler
Lightswitch

I recall someone saying that this strike is a bh as a nightfall (or words to that effect)

Nearly!

It shouldn't be too bad- the main hurdle is Lightswitch and there aren't many places in which you get really up close and personal. That being so, the void-shielded psion thingys can be a pain. It'll be important to have a void weapon for each run, as well as solar for the units. My load outs will be:-

Hawkmoon
LDR 5001 (void)
Song of Ir Yut

Word of Crota
Black Hammer
G-Horn

Fatebringer
The Supremacy
Truth

I like hand cannons. hehe

It really isn't all that different to running it as a weekly (no burn) - just got to be more cautious on account of the lightswitch/epic/Nightfall elements and, the final fight will take longer to complete.

Just read on the forums
"Destiny and Bungie.net are being taken offline for maintenance on Tuesday, February 24th, from 10AM Pacific to Noon."

Which I think is 6pm - 8pm UK time, exactly when we all usually log on for Nightfalls....did they really HAVE to do this on reset day?!

There was a VICIOUS rumour that you were under Anton's patio. No idea where that started. angelsmile

On a serious note, that is truly crap. frown

Yep, those times are correct. Perhaps if you log on before 6pm will it maintain your session? Or is a full "boot everyone off" type of outage?

If it were PSN maintenance, being logged in usually works but, as it says that Bungie.net and Destiny will be offline, I don't fancy taking the risk.

Right, gotcha - I reckon that will be the roll out of the 1.1.1 patch that they have been talking about for ages (heavy ammo fix, weapon damage balancing, etc)

Yes indeed, I survived the alcoholic onslaught that was Anton's 40th. I vaguely remember Sambuca, after which I remember very little hehe

Don't worry Moog, I'll run it with you. Remember what an asset I was to the team last time you and I (and Speckle!) challenged Dickface?whistle

If you can invest time in it, play with friends and enjoy XP/equipment based progression along with the FPS genre. Then yes.

Woohoo! Got my first piece of legendary armour last night. Shot a Reaver Vandal while on patrol on Earth and he dropped a blue engram. Decoded to a legendary piece of chest armour.

This bumped me to level 24!

3 x Nightfalls resulted in me bagging:-

- Mask of the Third Man (I think this is the only hunter helm that I was missing) party
- Arc Harms Way HMG- okay-ish perks but I have lots already frown
- Another void LDR 5001 but with AWFUL perks. This will be sharded.

Makes a change from the shards and energies of last week but still. frown

These were quite smooth and easy run throughs, to the extent that we had time to do a weekly as well. smile I'm happy to help anybody that needs to run through but I'll not be on until tomorrow night, now. smile

I'm only going to bother with the Nightfalls for the XP boost - I can't think of any exotic that I need. Mask of the Third man is hte Hunter helm I use for the Crota fight for the health regen when collecting orbs. It also means your arc blading shenanigans will use less super energy thumbup

Will be on for Nightfalls tonight at the usual time -hopefully, there will be plenty like me who couldn't be @rsed last night!

I'm sure there will be. From what I recall, there was only S99ane, TeamPenguin and myself on at one point, hence us romping through these rather than raid. I prefer keeping a couple of nightfalls for the weekend. smile

That's good news about the helm! Anything that enhances arc-blade is fine by me. Plus, it'll save me having to swap the raid helm around. I can't believe that I've only ever had one drop despite numerous clears frown

If you purchase vanguard armour, that should bump your level up quite a bit (fully levelled vanguard armour will take you to lvl 31), otherwise you're going to find all of the endgame/DLC content a bit of a struggle even if you do get it unlocked!

I'd be more than happy to jump in your fireteam and help you out if I'm not doing anything else, as I'm sure would many others (feel free to add me, PSN = Speckle)
