Ha ha! I am trying to avoid too many spoilers but I'd seen PoE already so I watched a bit of dattos stream. It looked like they were attempting 34 as level 32s and 33s...looked fun.

Waiting to hear everyone post their loot hauls...

I was quite impressed with the Loot drops from the PoE 'treasure room'...

I was lucky enough to have 2 keys in my inventory so played through the level 28 mode twice, opening the large treasure chest each time (for which the key is required if you don't know).

Now the important stuff.

1st drop - My First Ice breaker! Yes!

2nd drop - Gal... not frown 'Wolves bane' purple machine gun! Still not a bad pull :P I also managed to grab a purple engram which game me a purple tracking rocket called The Fear...

In addition, from the 2 run through I managed to get around 10 strange coins and a load of materials from the 2 smaller chests so quite happy biggrin

Had great fun last night.

Got my Titan to level 32 1/2 but upgrading my exotic helmet. Just need these new items to upgrade the raid gear.

Did the missions on my titan and POE level 28 which was fun. Surprising how much fun it was.

Just need to tackle the nighfall and weekly on my titan . And once done need to try and do all the same on the warlock and Hunter. I'm away from Saturday for a week so have a lot to get done beforehand

And congrats to Trash who got the Gjallahorn on the POE chest on the first attempt. I had the patents and time

I think I got more new guns last night than I have dropped in the last week!

Really happy with the Ice Breaker as I don't have to use an exotic shard to upgrade the damage, already at 334/365 :P

I was also impressed with the vendors new guns, all at 331 'out of the box'

I can see the etheric light being a pain to get though...

EDIT: I thought i would also add, I upgraded my Vex and the damage now goes up to 365! 'Even better, it now will be.'

Wow! Great drops! Did everyone get an exotic from the first PoE chest?

Did anyone try level 32 or 34?

I assume you were all doing story missions?

No spoilers please!

Yeah you have to do about 5 or 6 story missions before PoE unlocks, by the time I had done all that, including doing the nightfall which counted as one of the story missions smile, it was about 12, so I ran through the level 28 with 2 match made randoms, blitzed that in 30 mins.

Did one run through the story missions, 3 nightfalls and one PoE. Along with all of the engrams and faction packages I had a pretty phenomenal loot haul last night.

Last count on the new weapons was around 16, which included 4 handcannons, 2 auto rifles, 1 scout, 2 fusion, 3 snipers, 2 rocket launchers, no land beyond and thunderlord. May have sharded a couple too.

Lost count on the new armour for all three characters, had to shard loads to make room.

From the PoE chest I had No Land Beyond, crest of alpha lupi and s rocket launcher. On the game over screen I had a handcannon, 3 coins and 3 motes. That was 1 run on level 28.

Had a good play with reforging weapons. Managed to eventually roll a rocket launcher with arc, tripod and tracking. Took around 50 attempts mind.

So do you get a key for finishing the POE, Which gives you a chance at the big chest?

Also I was told that you only need to finish the POE once and as long as you have the keys you get multiple goes at the treasure room?

I'm just gonna level up my hunter first and then do the others once he is at 34.

I had 2 keys, one from the new queen wolf event chests (Random as anything to get) and one for completing the new story missions...

I have been told that you can use 5 keys, per week per character. But as yet that's unconfirmed.

I foresee plenty of wolf event grinding in order to get precious keys

A light night by these standards.

Ran the story missions and the new strike. I suspect the new exploding shanks will be an utter pain on nightfalls.

Upgraded icebreaker to 365. With weapons of light buff its spectacular.
Collected a 365 pocket infinity - just need to level it.
Ran into my first hunt the wolves, get the keys type event. Killed the bad guys, didn't find the keys as I had no idea what I was doing.
And then ran the PoE at level 28 with some randoms. Amusing; only wiped once due to some mine based confusion. Collected a Suros exotic auto rifle for my troubles.

How does one reforge weapons, and I presume the new Etheric Light will be a bugger to obtain (only from PoE? - like raid shards?)

Which ones did you get i found three. One on top of the tent by the Fallen guy, one by the trials guy hanging from the netting in the corner, and the last one if you are looking at the big queens flag banner with the 3 people stood in front of it come back to the first set of steps and you will see some girders hanging from a rope under the platform there's one on there. Had a fun night much more enjoyable than the last expansion, liked the jumping puzzle bit and going into the VOG. O and Congrats to Innocent lvl 33 already lol

Yeah got the first 2 I did think there might be one up by the queens flag but couldn't see a obvious route! Will look a bit harder next time smile

Cheers for the help last night Wuddie and Simo.

No exciting drop for me, apart from a Dragon's Breath, but good to get it all started.

Won't be on this evening as the wife actually wants to talk to me smile

Does PoE come with matchmaking?

Anyone up for a couple of Nightfalls on Friday night?
