Pretty pleased with my haul from the Raid

Hunter Raid boots (last raid gear I needed to get to 30)
Corrective Measure (Void Heavy Machine Gun with bonus damage to Oracles)
Found Verdict (Arc Shotgun with 6clip full auto with bonus damage to Oracles)
Obligatory chatterwhite and shards

i got the chestpiece i needed that should get me to 30

12/3/2014 9:39:47 AM

Glad to see there will be more 30s around here. The mythoclast is very meh, but I think it will be huge for Crota's End (new raid) as they really buffed up the damage. I think destiny has been making nicer drops for people lately so they can play the expansion pack

^^I have that shotgun. I've gotten 5 of them. That said, the corrective measure is legit for the VOG.

i got my warlock up to 28 last night. i would like to do vog (normal) sometime to get the cool stuff. weekends would be best for me but if i am on shoot me an invite if you need someone else - gamertag Amirror23

As for the Mythoclast...im not sure what to think.

Is it worth taking Icebreaker or Gjallahorn out of my weapon slots? Until I fully upgrade it, i'm not real sure...and thats gonna be the question. One of my MAIN issues with it is the ammo. Only 147 bullets for an auto firing weapon??? I was just doing patrols and i was getting down to 30 or so bullets left routinely. I can only imagine hopping into a REAL fight where I'm letting bullets fly with no remorse.

It does one shot certain enemies pretty good if you get them in the dome, however...which is nice. I did the level 28 daily and was one shotting psions pretty easily and i'm only at 273 damage right now. I do like that the damage for it goes up to 323. All exotic weapons should have higher damage outputs than their legendary counterparts IMO.

So I was earth yesterday and came across a new hive major crota something. After I killed him he drops a relic (sword) you can use for like 2 mins. Pretty neat. Also anyone trying to raid tonight?

12/4/2014 8:31:29 AM

what do people think about the new changes coming next week?

I understand and was prepared for a gear reset. The commendation mechanic does not really excite me though.

12/4/2014 10:20:18 AM

It seems like a viable option to keep those that are not buying the XPac competitive.

12/4/2014 10:21:55 AM

Looks like the loot drops are going to be more fair.

12/4/2014 11:03:51 AM

Anyone wanna raid hard or easy tonight at 9pm. Would prefer hard but am cool doing regular.

Thursday 12/4 9pm Raid

I'll raid, I'mma pilot

12/4/2014 2:24:45 PM

i agree with the concerns about the rep commendations. it seems like it takes forever to get to the next rep even when doing 4-5 bounties a day (at least for me).

12/4/2014 4:13:05 PM

I more than likely down fora raid tonight bojos00

12/4/2014 5:14:20 PM

put me on the list for tonight.. ill be about 910-915

12/4/2014 7:49:48 PM

I might be running a little late myself. 930 work for everyone?

12/4/2014 8:50:24 PM

k

12/4/2014 8:55:43 PM

where yall at

12/4/2014 9:33:01 PM

Sorry ran long on dinner. If anyone still wants to raid I'm up for it.

12/4/2014 10:25:11 PM

sgb, you let us down dawg

12/5/2014 8:04:43 AM

Just hit Level 30 with my hunter last night.

Since I run two Hunters I can swap armor and have 2 Hunters at Level 30.

Disappointed in Xur having the Plan C two weeks in a row. Maybe Bungie is making sure everyone has an Arc weapon for the new Raid.

Also the last two weeks I have been leveling up my exotics only to find out the that progress restarts when you go to "Tier 2" exotic weapons post DLC.

this is what has a lot of people pissed off.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/05/destiny-players-unhappy-about-changes-to-exotic-weapons

"The main issue being brought up is that Bungie implemented massive changes to Exotic weapons, let players upgrade them to max, and then announced that you'll have to do all of the upgrading again a few days later. However, Bungie promised that progression on the 2.0 version of existing exotics will be a lot faster. "

12/5/2014 2:05:08 PM

From what I've read this isn't really a big deal. It's not like you've gotta re-upgrade the entire weapon. It should be pretty easy to be honest. I'm fine with it

12/5/2014 11:09:35 PM

I assume the rewards for the daily heroic story are random, but I ALWAYS get ascendant energy over shards. I need some shards!

12/6/2014 4:12:36 PM

Picked up raid chest for my hunter. Just need raid boots for level 30 with him as well

12/7/2014 12:56:36 AM

If I complete a bunch of bounties monday night and turn them in tuesday, I won't lose them during the reset will I?

actually, that's exactly what it's like. you start from scratch, but supposedly the upgrade time will be faster.

12/8/2014 8:29:54 AM

i dont understand why they didnt just add another defense/attack bubble or two to every gun/gear that they intend to upgrade

12/8/2014 10:22:38 AM

expansion emblem:


must obtain.

12/8/2014 10:51:22 AM

whew man i don't know if my mind is ready for the destiny leveling grind again. it has been so nice being level 30 for the past month or so.

would've been too simple. it sounds like:
grunt employee: hey guys i've got an idea, let's give them more upgrades for the exotic weapons so they don't feel cheated with the dlc
manager: great idea, and we'll have their upgrades reset first so they have more to do! (yay, i'm helping and you have no choice)
grunt employee: -___-

12/8/2014 11:48:34 AM

Sounds like a way to keep you grinding longer, and quite frankly it will probably work.

12/8/2014 11:54:55 AM

So they're lying when they say you will be ready to raid from day 1?

12/8/2014 2:05:49 PM

Also, the hard daily mission is now level 30 instead of 28

12/8/2014 2:12:57 PM

Why wouldn't you be able to if you're a level 30?

12/8/2014 2:26:43 PM

From the gnashing of teeth, that's what it sounds like. Lol

It should take just a couple days to re fully upgrade your stuff. It's really not that big of a deal

12/8/2014 2:34:22 PM

i think a problem will be that you will have to wait until the weekend to get the new exotics from xur. cant even enjoy the new weapons until next week really.

12/8/2014 4:16:43 PM

is that not how its always been unless you get lucky enough to get one in a drop or from the nightfall?

12/8/2014 11:22:08 PM

Anybody trying to raid in the morning? I was thinking at like 930 or so. I'll do either raid as I imagine the new one may take awhile on the first try.

[Edited on December 8, 2014 at 11:38 PM. Reason : Raid/non raid info]

12/8/2014 11:37:42 PM

I'll be on around 1130 tomorrow night to do some of the new stuff if anyone will be on around then

12/9/2014 12:50:23 AM

I'll be on at 5:30ish if anyone wants to do some of the story mode on hard (level 30). You get a lot more shit that way. Let me know

12/9/2014 6:22:53 AM

^ do you say that because there are more enemies, thus more drops? or has it been stated somewhere that heroic drops are better.

12/9/2014 7:16:35 AM

Before you start the level you can see what it will give you at the end. Heroic always has more stuff

12/9/2014 7:31:58 AM

^ that's only on the daily mission, iirc

12/9/2014 9:10:06 AM

just got a fusion rifle that you can switch between solar and arc damage. pretty fucking awesome.

12/9/2014 9:12:37 AM

how did you get it so fast?

12/9/2014 9:29:47 AM

^^^. No it's for all missions the first time you do them

12/9/2014 9:42:45 AM

^ good to know

^^ http://destinydb.com/items/2609120348-murmur

12/9/2014 10:00:35 AM

lmao, just hopped on and beat the first crota mission on its hardest by myself...the hard level for the 2nd mission jumped up to level 30 and.......yeah, no way in hell i can do that solo. Got to the ogre and immediately got decimated...3 times. I'll be back on around 11:30 tonight if anyone will be on and wanna help me

12/9/2014 4:00:54 PM

i've still got to do the first 3 quests with my hunter but it'll be tough (27). yea the end of the 2nd one ramps up the difficulty IMO. you can do it with two without too much problem especially if at least one is 30.

the murmur is pretty good. it's guaranteed at the end of the 3rd quest if you do em on the hardest level. i have two of em now
