Despite feeling a lack of motivation, I actually had quite a productive evening. 2 duplicate exotics and a sharded legendary from a very easy Nightfall, followed by 3 x lvl 34 PoE, the first of which dropped the exotic bounty - just waiting to be summoned by Valiks now.

Keys were definitely dropping quite frequently from the small chests and, I LOVE the fact that ammo now stacks to 100!

My unlevelled 300 damage Truth now 365 ready for Skolas - just need to decide which void sniper to upgrade now...

Hehe, no way I am getting rid of Hawkmoon, I rather like it!

Yes, I am at level 32 now, have legendary armour and an exotic helmet(ooer missus), tried a nightfall but was on my own and didn't last long, the level 30 stuff is generally doable and I have done the first of the PoE. Fatebringer has killed me in the Crucible rather a lot as has Thorn and Vex Mythocaster.
Add people from the list and log in on Tuesday evenings, there will be loads of people to run Nightfalls with you. Quite often we do 6+ Nightfalls a week to help people out or just for fun thumbup

Was around late afternoon / early evening yesterday running Fallen bounties and others to upgrade my scout rifle (yeah, I'd forgotten about telemetries rolleyes) when I saw Carbon soloing a NF. I know, I'll ditch what I'm doing, switch to the Titan and jump in. In the couple of minutes it took, Speckle and Kaney had beat me to it! You snooze, you lose biggrin

I've been neglecting Destiny quite a lot lately. What have I missed? I still need to have a go at ToO.

Depends but potentially, all of the HoW missions for all characters, then level 28 Prison of Elders, then the level 32, 34, and 35 versions (with corresponding increases in levels of frustration as a side order). Osiris if you are level 34, have the right gear and are pretty handy at PvP. There are new Queen's bounties to do each week also.

You've also got the new strike to go at too (which is pretty good)

Not forgetting that Iron Banner is on this week and a lot of people are doing that and not a lot else because it demands tons of time to get anywhere

So, plenty to fill your day there I think smile

Not essential by any means. A few of the guys (myself included) went 9-0 as 3 33s. The damage drop off isn't massive- two headshots from Thorn/Hawkmoon would kill an opponent just as it does as a 34. It was fairly similar when taking damage. There's a thread on Reddit on this topic but with regards to Iron Banner. The consensus is that 1 (or at a push 2) levels below doesn't make much difference. I tend to agree although 2 levels below is perhaps a bit much.

33s shouldn't be dissuaded from IB/ToO. smile

They've adjusted the damage curve, so the 5 levels damage curve is smaller, but then it increases. One level is barely anything now. Which is a shame, hoping they were increasing the difference.

SINGH!!!!! It looks like you might get your Felwinter's after all. Random weapons are dropping, we've seen a Felwinter's and a Radegast's drop.

It's a complete laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag fest as well.

So, the legendary guns I have ascended so far are:-

Fatebringer
Vision of Confluence
Praedyth's Revenge

Hang on, there may be a theme developing here...

Found Verdict
Oh, and an Arc LDR5001

Tempted to ascend a full set of VoG gear for that old skool vibe (but, am probably too lazy to bother)

Blackhammer will be next, then Swordbreaker, Hunger, then Word of Crota.

At which point, I will have completed Destiny thumbup

I need to run PoE 34 & 35 (assuming it is relatively straight forward) a few times this weekend for the exotic bounty.

You would have thought they'd have held some of the best weapons back, but the first 3 legendaries I've ascended were all in the base game (FB, VoC, Efrideet's) and the next one will be too (Arc Jolder's Hammer). FB in particular is just a beast of a weapon.

The only non base game legendary I'm considering ascending is Black Hammer.

All the exotics I've asecended (getting on for a dozen or so now) have been base game items too.

Still, some of the new exotic armour pieces have interesting perks, so they may get a look in once levelled up.

You've completed Destiny when you:-

1. Get Thorn.

2. See 1.

hehe

I'll be on tonight and I need to 3x NFs if anybody else needs to do the same. Will take my new solar Jewel of O for a spin. biggrin

After that, I'll do some IB unless anybody fancies a 32 PoE. I've amassed a few weapon cores but zero armour cores. I need to try Judgments roll.

Just got an exotic bounty which I think leads to thorn, just need to kill lots of people with void damage in the crucible first...

Indeed it does and join the club, I've been grinding that bit out for a while now and have just got past half way (252 / 500), but I'm still learning the ropes of PvP. Feel free to add me if you want some company whilst doing it as I suspect it might be quicker as a pair. PSN is the same as here.

I'm just upgrading my Judgement VI void shotty at the moment to hopefully make it a bit easier (shot package, aggressive ballistics and small bore). I've been using Swordbreaker, but this should give me a bit more range and power.

Still getting killed a fair bit by Thorn, so that's all the justification I need for trying to get one!

When IB is running play regular Control, less dedicated players. Even more so at the weekend when ToO is on.

Yep, that's what I'm hoping / banking on this week. Going to try and get this bit of the bounty done and dusted

I'm away on business until next week but I've brought my PS4 with me. I'm spending every spare moment trying to grind IB so I can get my two Etheric Light. I'm just shy of lv 3 so far. I'll see if I manage to keep on going with lack of sleep and jet lag.

Weapon wise I've ascended Thorn, Bad Juju and Gjallarhorn, armour wise Heart of the Praxic Fire. I can't do any legendaries yet as I've not had a sniff of any Etheric Light yet.

Started off IB just running Thorn but last night I was switching between Bad Juju and Red Death both of which I prefer using to Thorn and are pretty deadly.

Had a few legendary weapon drops including a Split Shifter Pro fusion rifle with Void damage, Hip Fire and Accelerated Coils. I'm using it in preference to my other Fusion Rifles now (The Trolley Problem, Plug One.1 and Murmur). I also dropped a blue Rocket Laucher with magazine of two and tracking which should be handy in normal Crucible.
