you have got some serious stockpiles of materials there too. Was that just spending vanguard marks rather than waste them after the limit?

The only thing I think I've got more of is heavy synths!

EDIT; and engrams, my inventory is full of rare engrams at the moment (I do have 5 legendary and a few exotics though). In hindsight I might have started collecting a bit early.

Spending the marks. I've got far too many and they are taking up space. I'll delete a load when HoW drops if they don't appear to be required.

I've got a lot of weapon parts and sapphire wire too. Back in the day, when we had to actually farm for our materials, we did a lot of patrolling, finding chests etc. That was where the majority come from.

You kids don't know you're born biggrin

I remember, I only had one character at the time though! You used to be able to sell them didn't you? Maybe they'll introduce something different where you can trade them again.

Reminds me of this post off of reddit (about the great heavy ammo drought of 15);

The weekly loot harvesting from Crota, lessened to one character instead of three, all we could afford in those days. Week after week, praying for it to rain heavy, but our prayers were unanswered. The drought pervaded nearly all aspects of the game. Instead of joyously frolicking in the vault of glass, guardians were forced to support their Crota farming by other means, and had to move west to find new jobs. Usually as far west as Mars (yes I know Mars isn't "west", but deal with it), guardians flocked to support themselves and their families/fireteams by repeatedly shooting the same Cabal over and over in the Exclusion Zone. But we learned from the drought. We emerged stronger than before, always preparing for times ahead. When the drought ended, guardians swore to never again be left so helpless, with their Gjallarhorns growing dusty in their inventory, crying for use.

Yes you could sell them, that's going back a while now!!!

We joke about the heavy ammo bug, but we've all overreacted when Xur finally sold synths IMO.

I have far, far too many and they'll never all get used. The problem is you cant delete them, you have to actually use them to free up the space.

Unless you delete a character............

Bit of an oversight IMO.

And.....has anyone ever used a primary ammo synth? Complete waste of inventory space.

I had one once and used it just to get rid!

I've 19 special synths and never used one.

At the time we didn't know it was a bug and xur was supposed to sell them every week (I'm sure I read that the urn quest in TDB caused it). For me each character has about 100 and I'm now on about 80 in reserve.

welcome Mason, there's people raiding most nights.

What level and character are you?

Cheers Simo, that's good to hear people here raid most nights

I've got two 31's (Hunter & Warlock) and a 26 Titan I'm working on

To be honest I have minimal experience raiding

I've done VOG a few times and I've been carried through Crota (not really knowing what I was doing). Basically I'm just looking for a solid group to play with and teach me the ropes, have a laugh and get good gear

Using LFG is abit hit and miss!

You're right about LFG, everyone wants the top dog with the top weapons.

I won't be on until late tonight (and it might be the silent me) and am at a wedding tomorrow but will be about Sunday and Monday.


I'm driving an Infiniti QX70 this weekend, initial impression; phallic

You have come to the right place!

Check out the 100 group link just setup a few posts ago or I'm afraid you'll have to find a table of user names buried on about page 50!

We should find that and dig it out.

We have a mix - some people are on most nights and some of us only get on 1-2 nights a week. Raids to date have been fairly spontaneous, depending who is on. We're testing out the 100 site to see if that helps for people who know when they will be on, but aren't on that much.

I think in terms of exotics and play time, Tank, Simo and Glenard are the top 3!?

My GT is the same as here, but I don't get on to play that often. Hoping to play one night over the weekend.

I used one on a nightfall last tuesday. I was spamming fusion rifles for the pocket infinity bounty and it went dry.

(well, it went <click> and then a thrall bled me dry)

I doubt I'm even top 5!

We just have a lot of people who've hung up their Gjallahorns recently. I'm way behind Innocent, Gav, Tom etc.

Chilled Edd has more time played than me!

Ah ok - I knew Tom and Innocent would be up there, but thought you had all exotics.

It's because you talk so much during the raids - I assume you must play a lot ;-)

smile back in Ye Olden days of the mk. 1 Suros, I remember the primary ammo drought fondly.

That thing was like a cross between a bullet hose and a sniper rifle.

Nice one. Added yourself, Kitch and royal

Couldn't find the 100site link or username table though unsurprisingly laugh

I'm on most nights, i think it's turned into an addiction :/

Here is the 100 group

https://www.the100.io/groups/1223


Tonight group was hit and miss, spent 20 minutes fannying about on the bridge, when I said I'll jump over and you kills yourself.
