Yeah I'm pretty much the same... Intrigued to see how much the emotes cost.
Launchers seem to have gone back to being for crowd control purposes where you need a fair amount of damage over a wide area. I guess it was only really Ghorn that gave really good dps...
I think rockets have also always been a bit weird, in terms of not picking up buffs. And I don't think they get any crit multipliers?

weapons of light does stack to launchers now (was patched in just before TTK dropped). Used to be just the damage from impact but now it's anything that's caught in the blast and clusters/wolfpacks too.
I just don't think they are as good any more. Plus, one of the main features driving the hypetrain for TTK was Swords, the way rockets were 'go to' in Y1 had to change.

I think all the weapons are here:

Hereafter and Black Spindle are the only exotic snipers.
Innocent, not sure if you saw the frenzy over the secret exotic daily but the last two Wednesdays have had the daily mission with a secret side mission that drops the Spindle (at 310 and you can re-buy it at 300). If it is the same tomorrow then I'm sure some generous souls would go through it with you.
If I'm on then I'm volunteering myself because here at Team Simo we're all about the giving (thinking about adopting that as a moto.... I'll have to call a conference when more people join....).
It's worth putting an order in with the gunsmith today too if you get the chance.

Ah interesting!
Bungie have said that they can hide things from the inventory and database so it's possible that more exotics are hidden, plus they may also release new ones over time.
Releasing some quests, plus maybe some areas to do them in, and an exotic at the end would make a nice little package to keep everyone busy for a few hours and freshen up the game in a couple of months.

Luke Smith said that Iron Banner and trials are not currently in the game last week but the first Y2 Iron Banner will start 13th October; http://www.techtimes.com/articles/90894/20151003/d...
Also, remember this Solar version of Thunderlord in one of the Y2 reveal vids; http://i.imgur.com/p5Hymu7.jpg
Don't think anyone has ever seen it in game yet and there's not even a hint of it. Makes you wonder exactly how much they held back.

Until it was found, Black Spindle didn't appear anywhere in the game code. It wasn't able to be datamined, hence nobody knowing about it.https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Category

When people were first getting it to drop, it was showing up as an error or something similar in the companion app.
The question is what else is locked away like this?

I hope it isn't every Wednesday as I'm not home on Wednesday until November. If I'm on then I'm volunteering myself because here at Team Simo we're all about the giving (thinking about adopting that as a moto.... I'll have to call a conference when more people join....).

Also worth mentioning that if you have a legendary weapon year 1 or 2 it counts as 5 towards the 10 you need to dismantle. And Exotic's don't count. I dismantled 2 year 1 auto rifles on my quest as that was enough towards the 10 you need to dismantle
Doh only just seen the last part of tanks reply
Good thinking. Will dismantle old stuff. Doh only just seen the last part of tanks reply
And I'd love a run at the raid, but doubt I'll have time tonight.

Nightfall - no radar, no shield regen, elemental must match to do shield damage.
Right.
For basically very little reward!Right.
I've managed to get the 500 viod kills with my Titan. What a grind that was.
that's all I did for a few hours mainly last night. And a few bounties and a few more steps on another quest
We had a good run in the raid last night, managed to get to oryx!!
Got some nice drops too, I had the gauntlets @ 306, the mark @ 302 I think, another hereafter exotic sniper from an engram and an invective from an engram.
Also did the secret daily mission with irrotational and tank.
How many people have the exotic quest "shindig in the crucible" it's a right royal pain in the arse,,and I was thinking if we have four to six requiring it then we could do a boosting session on rumble just to get it out of the way... What do you guys think??

You've just got to man up for the shindig 
There is a minor exploit, supposedly the score only goes up or down if you have the Last Word equipped. % comes from other weapons and grenade kills also, so only equip it when you have heavy or supers, and then de-equip when you don't feel so 'ard.
I did it the proper way though.
I think the next section of that quest is bugged though, because the NPC kills don't count for me. And it's a pain to use in the crucible...

And I wondered what you're doing in the VoG wuddie, you seemed to be just pissing about!
(You didn't talk to me neither
)
Yeah sorry bout that strudel, was looking for the first ghost and couldn't make the jump on to the platform. Was just messing till we started the raid..(You didn't talk to me neither
)I'm really frustrated with the shindig, got up to 70% running in mayhem.. Am now back to 48%
The problem is that unless you get a 5 or 10 kills streak with you other weapons the kills don't count towards your percentage so 3 kills with a fusion rifle before a death won't count..
I think the scoring is some thing like this
Kill with TLW +1%
Headshot with TLW +2%
5 x kill streak +5%
10 x kill streak +10%
Match win +3%
Death -2%
So if you are only getting body kills with the TLW you need a 2.0kd to even stay static !!!
If you want to do the quest, the slow, but guaranteed way...just equip TLW right towards the end of every match that you're going to win. Will rack up a basically guaranteed 3% per game....
Then all you have to do is win 34 matches! :-)
If I'm around, and other people are up for playing, then I'm planning to try and get chunks done at each iron banner. Chaperone is mainly a PvP type gun anyway IMHO.
If anyone is interested in the story/lore then the secret mission yesterday was pretty cool:-
Oryx manages to fight back and so starts going after the Vault of Glass as he wants to learn where the Vex get their power.
In ALL the simulations the Vex run, they see they have lost - Oryx beats them - they are utterly screwed...and we would be too if Oryx gets their power on top of his own.
Then we come along on our daily mission! We pop open Praedyth's secret door, enter the VoG, take down Oryx's big bad boss and single handedly save the Vex (and ourselves!) from extinction.
It's quite a pivotal moment of history, tucked away in a secret side mission. We also got to find out Praedyth is still ok, existing out of time, trying to figure the Vex out and get messages back to us.
From a personal point of view it was nice use all the secret VoG paths, to finally open that mysterious dead portal at the bottom of the jumping puzzle and go through it.
Big thanks to Tank and Wuddie for helping me finish it - you definitely need 2 or 3 people for the final boss!
