Was on briefly this afternoon, but was feeling knackered after my golf game this morning so didn't pester anyone who was on as I just didn't fancy it and went to watch Monaco GP qualifying instead. Hopefully I'll feel a bit more energetic tomorrow and can do some things to catch up although I'm not sure if I'm bothered by Prison or not
Trials of Osiris is out (cos PvP) and I don't have any of the tools to have a reasonable crack at it anyhow
HoW is a bit meh for me personally, although I see others are thoroughly enjoying it. Perhaps it's because I just don't have the hours to sink into this expansion that it really needs

Nope, can't say that I have. I've just checked my chars via the Destiny app and all seems to be present & correct, but sucks if you have lost items.Was on briefly this afternoon, but was feeling knackered after my golf game this morning so didn't pester anyone who was on as I just didn't fancy it and went to watch Monaco GP qualifying instead.

I appear to have used all my weapon parts and I'm not sure how. Sure I upgrade a lot and reforged a few times, but I can't even ascend the last of my exotics now. Ran 28 PoE last night with randoms last night for the first time. I thought it was good fun, enough of a challenge to stay interesting but not really too difficult. I dropped more Pulse Rifles; a Red Death 
and The Conduit. I now have Red Death, Bad Juju, Time on Target, The Conduit and Spare Change.25. I have never dropped a legendary (or exotic) Scout Rifle!
Then I ran three Queen's Wrath bounties to try and get more treasure keys to run it again but I didn't find any of the chests in time
I haven't got a key from a chest so far, just special ammo synth and blue engrams.
By that time it was very late and I was quite a way into a bottle of Johnnie Walker so I quit and slept! Thumbs up new content so far.
Edit: bought Exotic Shards and ascended Heart of Praxic Fire and Gjallarhorn

Nice one Carbon on the flawless run. Suggest you try the ToO armour on WITHOUT any shader equipped- the colour is an Egyptian-esque black and gold. 
Second attempt at running a flawless ToO... and a second success!
I managed to bag a 365 ToO Arc auto rifle and it is good. It is like a baby Suros and strips Captains' shields in seconds. Love it. I also managed to bag the 42 light ToO boots as well as the chest. I'll stick a pic up later of my Warlock. He's a scary chap.
Will be attempting 3 out of 3 today, and then I may retire undefeated.
Still not set foot in PoE level 34. Looking forward to doing so, but I don't need the Etheric light. All exotics are at 365, I've got 3 34s now, FB and VoC have been upgraded and so have options with my 4 ELs in the vault. Hmmmm.

It's nice to see Destiny actually rewarding the most highly skilled players with the best loot, rather than dumping on us all by virtue of crappy RNG. I won't lie though; I'm insanely jealous of how easy some of you are making ToO look, and of the glorious looking rewards. I'm average at PvP, and I realise that - unlike everything else in Destiny that perserverance can overcome - that is one skill-wall I'm never likely to be able to climb. Congratulations to everyone who accomplished it, you utter, utter, b'stards!
Haven't played any Trial's yet, but have been PvP'ing the last couple of days to get back in the swing of things. I made a short video of tonight's sniper shots that I was quite pleased with, if anyone is interested. There's also a clip in the middle of me spawning, running around like a nincompoop and promptly getting shot.......know your maps children

Beautiful Mr Child. Beautiful. 
Top tip though- a know they nerfed armour piercing bullets but they will still go through some of the walls/objects that some were hiding behind. I don't think you give your position away if you try and fail. Having said that you didn't have much trouble getting the kill so perhaps it isn't worth messing with a winning formula.
Happy to help out with Trials if you need to make up the numbers. Same goes for you Shane etc. Kaney and the others will happily jump in to help the flawless attempts.

Well.
Kaney, Mars and myself attempted flawless ToO run number 3 yesterday. Were we successful?!
Ahem:-
Boom.
We actually smashed it- every game bar 1 was 5-0 and the one that wasn't was 5-1 (bloody heavy ammo). We had just the perfect balance in the team as well as some l33t plays. Kaney with the double headshot from a single ES sniper bullet () and me going all Wesley Snipes, Passenger 57....
Back story to this is that it was the heavy ammo round so we switched from our Hawkmoons and Thorns to anything else so we could use Truth. It doesn't usually matter as the rounds rarely get passed the use of heavy ammo. I just switched to an unlevelled VoC and, well, just went mental with my GG;-

That was from the games to get Mars' second flawless run so perhaps I wouldn't have been so reckless if my run was on the line. And yes, I missed 2 shots. Check out Kaney's k/d!
Rewards this time were a solar auto-rifle and the HMG.... which are both beastly. Lots of coins, motes and about 4 more bits of etheric light. It's worth having a crack at ToO just for that.
Afterwards, I had a go the crucible to test out my new void ToO hand cannon. What can I say, the thing is an absolute animal. I never thought they'd be able to better FB but this just hits harder with better overall stats. I'll attempt flawless over the coming weeks to try to get a solar and arc version to finish the collection.
That being said, I thought Bungie had fixed RNG in crucible so that the people towards the top get legendary drops?! Check out this video to see the ToO gun in action and see RNG screw me over:-

Any improvement next round?!
Nope.
I'll be on later to finally get into 34 PoE and finish Mars' 3rd ToO run through but after that, happy to help anybody that needs a hand.

Hmm, think that I should hit regular Crucible to continue those exotic bounties whilst all the pro PvP players are in ToO.
Lovechild, are you going to be available today to grab the Gorgon CP from before the reset, or does anyone else have it that wouldn't mind sharing?
Also, something I picked up from the XBOne Destiny thread - there is an app available for iOS that makes it easier to transfer items between characters without having to put them in the vault first (the app does this for you). It's called "Loadouts", more information at loadoutsapp.com. Seems to work well and is free.
