Iron Banana seemed to be dropping better gear than the raid!
Well up for having another go, would really like to get it all done or at least 2/3rds not just the first bit wink

Hopefully with Iron Banana I will be higher light next time we have a go!

Cheers
Yeah Banana stuff looks and sounds unique, and seems to be dropping with good perks. Most importantly it has a good light level "range" so you can get an item a good few points higher than your current level. This helps fix the "drag" of having one stuck item like a ghost or an artifact.

The raid is really good fun - definitely worth having another go as there is a decent difference between 355 and 365.

We almost had the siege engine cracked, we just needed a bit more DPS on the adds and quicker kills on the siege engine captain. In retrospect I think that section is actually 85% killing stuff and only 15% carrying things but we all tended to get hung up on the carrying and die via the adds.

having good fun on here again. Titan up to 368. but going slow Hunter to 350 but not used my Warlock. Hd a blat on the new raid and went all the way until the final boss as a test run but had to many people on a low light level to have a go at the final bad guy.

But must say I do like the new raid.

Also went with Scar and 2 manned the hardest prisons of elders level. Was hard but fun and also had some high drops from that as well

Me and Scarbrows weren't supposed to be in but apparently someone was late so we got an invite....

We had both done it this week so would have backed out if you'd joined.

Anyway, I think we had too many 340-350 somethings to get through it but it seems like IB is a great opportunity to boost that light level up significantly this week..... even if it's only giving me shaders and emblems at the moment!

Remal, the most efficient way to rank up miltiples seems to be to stick with one character until you've got enough 365 infusion material to get a 2nd over 365 straight away.

Went from 351 (and struggled in the raid) to 360 in a third of a raid and 90 mins of iron banana.

I may have to try and make iron banner level 5 this week.

Also, my internet connection is definitely unwell

Internet connection fixed (I think) - wasn't virgins fault after all.

Good news, 2 exotics from iron banana.
Bad news, it's a bit of a grind to level 5 isn't it.

not even close to previous IBs!

After a few really impressive games yesterday (Shaxx couldn't believe what he was seeing at one point!) I've got to rank 5 with my warlock.

Alts get a buff too so they rank up a bit faster.

I've had shaxx not believing what he was seeing a few times. Just not in a good way.

Hey fella, well done! I quite liked supremacy, although my best games were the first few so my progress feels down hill.

Loot drops from IB were great though. After Wednesday night I popped a couple of engrams and packages and got to 381. I haven't been able to play since and I'm on holiday this week so everyone will be past me once I'm back smile

I'm sure there will be a raid run on Tuesday, possibly 2 if there are enough people online.

Loot from iron banana was very good indeed.
Although I've just realised I've burnt through all my three of coins and xur has gone for the weekend.

Interested in raiding again, now 365 so might be slightly more useful.

Completed the raid tonight, decided to get the monitors along the way as I hadn't done it before. Second time through the raid, it took us maybe an hour, we could have done it quicker if our esteemed guide hadn't messed the hex conversion bit up - in the end we just overruled him when he was talking st. Completed Vosik 1+2 with no wipes, Siege engine with 1 or 2 wipes and no wipes Aksis 1+2 with no wipes, it would have been a good speed run if we hadn't stopped to smell the roses in places. I think it's probably the best and most fun raid in Destiny.
