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)

Are you Civpilot?

So am I the only one who got involved in the Iron Banner grind this time around?

Left for holiday Saturday morning, so only played with my titan, but still managed to get him the arms, legs, shotgun, scout rifle and rocket launcher. smile

I think I now have every IB weapon in the game, bar the pulse rifle, which has not been available yet.

Haven't had time to level any of the gear up yet, but the armour looks pretty cool and should at least stop my character looking like every other titan in the game for the next couple of months. hehe

I had a crack at it, managed to score a set of boots for my warlock :-) Have already got the chest and gloves from the Crota Raid, if I can score an exotic helm hopefully I can hit 32 finally, huzzah!!

Couldn't be bothered with the grind. Thought if I started it then that would be my weekend ruined.

I can't seem to solo the bridge anymore. I can't make the jump from the left side, using the sword melee. I've been trying for about 2 hours and have very nearly fked my playstation out the window.

Flat-out

Dang, I didn't know the IB weapons included a rocket launcher. I am woefully short of those and so would have jumped in if I knew. I'll just have to keep hoping for a HoC. smile

Could it be that they patched that exploit in yesterday's update perhaps?

NEWSFLASH!!! I did it.

The reason I couldn't do it is stupidity. I'd check my class a few times thinking it was alright and it wasn't. My glide wasn't set to optimum settings.

At what stage do you fail? I found taking down the Fist of Crota actually quite tough solo (level 27 at the time) and that was hitting him with several Icebreaker rounds, I'm sure it would be a piece of cake with a fireteam though, so probably the way to go if you want to get past it.

Vanguard armour definitely the way to go to level up quite quickly, although you will need ascendant shards to upgrade that armour fully

Cool - I was also going to suggest if you had a weapon equipped previously that had an agility perk that you were no longer using or something, but mystery solved thumbup

I actually managed it with the wrong settings. I'm now doing it with warlock jr and upon setting him up I thought "oh, I bet that was set wrong for the 1st attempt" had a look and lo and behold it was. So it took me about 2 hours rather than 10 minsloser

Yep and me. PSN name same as my username here.

And if anyone sees me online and fancies running through the Weekly and Nightfall this week, please ping me. Stuggling on my own and it's not any fun!

And s99ane - wasn't ignoring your invite last night, was just in the middle of one of those frustrating Weekly runs. In hindsight, I should have joined you as I didn't complete it anyway!

1.1.1 Patch is currently going live, fair few changes in this one.

Destiny booted me out of the Nightfall this evening when it decided to force the update on me, so I missed out on completion with Lovechild and Speckle (who didn't get booted). It sucks that only a day after rolling out a forced update during Europe gaming hours that they pull the same st again. Not happy as we were close to finishing it too and thankfully the other guys did. And when I tried to re-join the Fireteam after the update found that I couldn't, presumably down to version differences.

It's not even the 1.1.1 patch either as the version was showing as 1.09 when I checked after the update had happened.

Edit: according to Bungie.net it is the 1.1.1 patch so perhaps I read it wrong on the update history

Mr. Speckle, this from the patch notes might / will explain the changed shoot to loot behaviour you were seeing post patch

"Shoot to Loot: Two-second cooldown added to perk to prevent extra ammunition gains while ammunition bricks despawn"

Nerf'd in other words

Last night it gave warning that servers would be going down, tonight no warning just booted from the game, bit of a surprise
Weekly now has matchmaking and seemed a bit harder to kill some of the enemies, although I was using alt character.

Not tried nightfall tonight though

Just when you think Bungie couldn't fcensoredck this game up any more, they've changed PvP so that when you kill a player who has heavy ammo, they no longer drop it for you to pick up.

Whereas before, when you've managed to take on a HMG or rocket launching enemy and win you could extend your heavy streak by using their ammo, from now on, you get absolutely no advantage. It's gone from encouraging massive heavy vs heavy battles, to encouraging you to hide for the first few minutes after the heavy spawn and let your teammates soak up the heavy insta-kills, ready for you to mop up with your heavy once the enemy have run out of theirs.

They just seem determined to meddle with stuff that works perfectly well until they break it, whilst completely ignoring the bits that are broken and everyone has been screaming about for months (vault space, VoG bugs, lack of content, etc etc).

It absolutely baffles me.

Thanks all I've sent friend requests to most - Speckle is there an easier way to search you? As there are 490 names containing Speckle (John Speckleton, xXSpecklezXx etc). Would be good to play with others if poss as can be a bit dull solo.

Is Vanguard armour the same as legendary armour? I'm achieved Vanguard rank 2 tonight and have the guauntlet and leg amour which boosted me to lv26 but I need a commendation to get the rest. Apparently 1 commendation is awarded every vanguard rank after 3 but to get to 3 it's 3000 vanguard points?? I would like to play other games on the PS4 in my lifetime biggrin

The final knight. I've seen Youtube videos of him being owned in 60 seconds but the handcanons and machine guns they use stun him yet when I try he just runs through it and kills me in 20. When I respawn I have no heavy weapon ammo left so its futile.

Is it just me or does Icebreaker no longer reset ammo after respawning? Only played VoG since update. Managed to bad myself 2 Fatebringers in one run though! (Shame I got one last time biggrin ) But still no mythoclast....
