Cheers to Stimps and Speck for the run through 34/32 PoE, it was good fun despite the hurdles - well, hurdle really - en route. Speck, just to reiterate what was said; weekend may be Trials time for many people, but I'm not one of them. I'd much rather be doing a Raid or PoE than trials, so if I'm online and you fancy running PoE at any level, give me a shout. Nine times out of then, I'll be game. smile
No worries. I'm amazed we smashed through that Level 34 in such a quick time. 'twas like a walk in the park. wink

Got my Titan up to 16 via the crucible yesterday (started at 13) getting no drops whatsoever though frown. Might be liked to my horrendous K/D ratio....
Think you need so many wins x(25)? Before stuff will drop.

At least we'll know what to do next time Qodron is in rotation - ignore the mechanics; Gjallarhorns!

Apologies to Zombie, Shane, Stimps and Gray for the rather sub-par sword bearing on my part - it's been a while since I've done it, that's why it took three swords. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Having been on holiday for the past week and taking a bit of a break from Destiny, I'm determined to finish off my collection of exotics when I get back on Tuesday. I need Purifier Robes, Eon's Bones and Dreg's Promise to complete the set.

So, if anyone sees me online and fancies a go at Level 35 PoE, just give me a shout. Likewise any exotic drop point (those Hunter boots are going to be a pain to get - only options are Xur sells them, or a random drop in the game!).

Here's what my gear collection looks like at the moment, anyone else got some tasty stuff hidden away in their vault?

I believe exotics from the expansions will only drop in exotic drops added since then, I may be wrong but don't think you'll get HOW stuff from VoG or CE.

Very tide and organised youngsyr

Isn't there rumoured to be an exotic sparrow too?


Thanks to the lads last night ran Crota with baby Titan an now have full set of Crota armour on first run through well except for chest piece. Thank you RNJesus.

Started levelling up the bubble class last night. Not sure how best to use it in PVP compared to smashing class which is lots of fun.

Haven't heard anything about an exotic sparrow?

Best way to use the bubble in Crucible is to equip Glasshouse (extends armour/weapon effects) and blessing of light.

Then pop the bubble over a contested flag/area, pull out your shotgun for any enemy who comes close or use your primary to take out people at range, dipping into and out of your bubble.

Every time you enter your bubble you get a fresh 100% overshield, so you can run out and take an enemy or two on straight up, then run back into your bubble and repeat.

It's absolutely great when you're playing in a fireteam too, as you pop orbs for your teammates when you put the bubble up and they benefit from the overshield too.

In Trials, equipping the Crest of Alpha Lupai for the round when you know your super's going to pop is a good move too, as it makes you drop 3 orbs when you pop the bubble. If you co-ordinate with your teammates so they use their supers in the round before, you should be able to win at least 3 rounds (the one before bubble where they use super, the one where you use super and give your teammates 3 orbs each plus an overshield) and the one after the bubble round when your teammates regen their super thanks to the extra orbs.

Didn't know this - just asked on Reddit and it's confirmed. The raids have loot tables that only have items in existence when the raid was released, so no HoW items from either VoG or CE. frown

Not only that, but apparently no exotic armour drops in the raids either, only exotic weapons.

So, opportunities for getting the new hunter boots (Eon's Bones) are extremely limited - basically Nightfall, the PoE treasure chest, the Trials treasure chest or if Xur sells them one week.

So, unless Xur sells them, the odds must be in the 1 in X hundreds for any exotic drop chance (there are about 50 exotic items that could drop and no guarantee than any exotic item will drop at all).

Yeah, I would have dozens to sell - check out the number of exotic shards I'm carrying (45!) each one of them represents a duplicate exotic item I've dismantled! hehe

You jammy git, it took me ages to get a full set!

For PvP I tend to opt for Striker; Ward of Dawn is a hard-countered by almost any other super in the game, so has far less utility than it does in PvE.

The Bones of Eao are great, I got them from Nightfall a couple of weeks ago. They allow you to reach places you otherwise couldn't, and allow for some fun tricks in Crucible; jump off the map, enemy thinks you've killed yourself, only for you to jump back into the map behind them and take the kill.

Nice haul you have there Youngsy makes mine look rather pitiful!

Best chance is to get as many treasure keys as possible and run 28 PoE over and over.

Nice collection Youngsy. Full up as well I see. I've deleted 2x Patience and Time, 2x Murmur and a Black Hammer the last couple of days which were all weapons that I wanted to keep. The lack of vault space is a joke bearing in mind it's a loot based game.

Thank goodness for the Postmasters. I have 19 legendary and 1 exotic weapon stored with them.

What are the 2 helmets in the vertical middle row on your Hunter?

I did read something that suggested current weapons won't be ascendable in the next DLC as Bungie don't want us using the same weapons indefinitely. If that's true we need space to store our old stuff, rather than deleting to make way for new.

I cleared out a lot of my weapons a while ago too - realistically I don't need more than one of any of them now as it's so easy to switch them between characters using the apps.

The top hunter helmet is a HoW Crucible drop that looks pretty cool (like a motorcross helmet), called Carnivore Match, the lower one is the original Queen's Wrath one.

Your like a woman with a walk in wardrobe hehe

Lovely collection though, the envy is strong.

What jump does everyone use with their Titan, its the only thing I really dislike about the class.

Youngsy, how did you manage to get those pics uploaded? I tried taking a snapshot of my hoard, but PH couldn't identify the file type.

First you need to host your picture somewhere online, you can do this direct from the PS4 using the share button and going into the capture gallery, then uploading to your facebook (I set up a new FB profile just for this purpose). Then you go to facebook and copy the url address of the picture, come back to PH and drop it in your post between {pic}...{/pic} tags.

My pictures are screenshots from an app, which I turned into .gifs using MS Paint and then hosted on imgur. I copied each pic's address on imgur and put it in the tags here.

So, yes, it's a lot of hassle!
