Even though the perks are kinda meh post-DLC, the New Monarchy AR is the only good AR you can get from venders.

I got an Up For Anything from an engram with reactive reload and rangefinder. The high RoF belies its usefulness, it's actually quite stable. Could use more impact, sure, but I'd recommend that along with the Vanquisher VIII.

Hey FedEx, how dare you deliver something before your "delivered by" time.
I'm running the Wakening mission on 30 if anyone needs it (it's been in my Eris bounties).

Eris Rank 2 gotten. Predawne shader + Hood of the Spawn is sweeeeet. Emerald Dawn bond is great too.

Happy to report the Hood is not a silly potato sack hat like Cloak of the Dusktorn

That was some sweet sword bashing. I wanted that raid sniper, but the rocket launcher seems pretty cool as well.

I'd also like to run through the raid on my 31 warlock alt, or at least join a crota kill group. I've done the whole encounter and killed him on my titan. PS4: freesoma

RNGesus smiled upon me today, I got my first Vision of Confluence in the VoG and then got a Plug One.1 fusion rifle in the Vanguard mail, with "kills increase reload speed," "reloads faster when empty," and Accelerated Coils.

Also finished the Crucible part of my new Thorn bounty :toot:

The expansion really did a good job of getting me to play again. I went from 28 to 31 in like three days (Eris gloves, vendor hat and boots, upgraded Armamenmenmentariumumumum), ran hard mode VoG, got Mythlocast, a sweet 331 arc fusion rifle, etc and so forth. Still haven't done Crota, need like 385 helium to upgrade stuff to get ready for that.

I wonder if hard mode Crota will just be level 34 enemies when you are struggling to get to 32. Already seems strange that the level 30 raid basically means you have to be level 31 to not suck.

Playtime has ended.
Fathom, I'm really sorry about that. Friend ended up telling me he could play while I was at my daughter's Taekwondo class and you slipped my mind. If it makes you feel any better, we couldn't kill Crota because he kept rebounding his shield after orbiting 5 times.

(I know I suck for doing that)

Welp, 360 raid couldn't beat Crota. It was a laggy, buggy mess. Maybe next week though!

Also it kind of sucks getting a bunch of radiant shards and energy that are worthless at the moment. At least the first chest gave me Ice Breaker 2.0.

If anyone is clearing the raid tonight, I could really use the checkpoint right after the bridge. I've cleared the raid on all three of my characters, but I did not get the second chest on any of them, nor did most of my friends.

If you could let me hop in and grab the post bridge-pre singer checkpoint, I'd be grateful.

edit: off to bed!

5 ranks with Tempering, just like last time (I had heard it was going back to 3 ranks, guess not). Also gloves and boots again.

I might be doing this with any of you who will be playing, since I want to go for my Thorn bounty and I hear Atheon's Epilogue was actually good in IB.

I'm in it for weapons, I'm already level 31. And maybe shaders if they have new cool ones.

Will previously-earned shaders/class items/emblems still provide the 10% boosts, or do I have to re-buy new ones? How did it work last time?

Yeah if it wasn't for Thorn I don't think I'd care. And I did enjoy playing with you guys last time, so there's that.

If you can re-roll existing weapons to get higher weapon attack then I don't care, otherwise... ugh I might get to 3 to get a weapon or two in a random drop.

God, I'm going to have ptsd from trying crota with redditors. If I was swordbearer shields wouldn't go down fast enough to get two strikes in per sword, and if I wasn't the swordbearer wouldn't do enough damage. One time he went enraged at 60ish percent :psyduck:

Just tell me I'm exotic.
So they're really just going to act like Queen's event never happened. And I liked it, too. Here's hoping the weapons are good. I don't have it in me to rank 4-5 it all over again for three characters. But I'll do it once for my Titan to look awesome in IB armor and to get new weapons (the fusion rifle is stupid good, guys).

Don't forget about that datamined exotic scout rifle. It looked like it might come from an updated Queen's Wrath event

Downed Crota with Dahbadu, Krampus, Luna, Fev, and aegiven tonight. :woop:

I'm a bit disappointed with Light of the Abyss. I was hoping for a unique perk similar to the Black Hammer but it is a 331 attack arc rifle and has hip fire/crowd control/enhanced battery combo. The starting mag is 7, so I think the enhanced battery will take it to 9?
