Also everyone make sure you pre-order Rise of Iron to get the black Gjallarhorn which, according to my coder-wife, is bigger and funner to use than the regular Gjallarhorn.

Your wife's opinion doesn't matter unless she is hot though. :v:

One (maybe two) week shy of 80 HM Crota kills I finally got a loving crux.

I admire your dedication, insane as it is. I'll never understand why Bungie made the crux so much harder to get than even the Mythoclast. At this point the crux should just be a guaranteed drop from HM Oryx - I shouldn't have to grind a raid that Bungie is too lazy to update for Y2 for a garbage bullet hose exotic.

I'm working on the Touch of Malice quest, and the Undying Mind strike claims to be matchmaking, but it automatically puts me into the strike without even attempting to search for other players.

It's a specialized version of the strike and this late into the TTK release cycle this is hardly surprising. Grab some goons.

Well it's surprising for me - this is the first time i'm doing this. Also, kind of hard to grab goons when there's only one person online and he seems to be AFK in the Scourge of Winter mission.

I wanna play a new raid but am cautious about it being any good

After three Destiny raids, i've come to accept the fact that I don't have the patience to do them blind. I probably won't even attempt it until everyone else has more or less mastered it, assuming I even bother getting RoI. Also I REALLY hope the next raid doesn't "require" specific weapons in order for me to be useful to the group.

Doing the raids blind is my only joy in life. You guys are way too harsh. It's just a video game. Chill out, the earth isn't going to combust.

There is no excuse for all the platforming sections in King's Fall and the raid would be far FAR better without them. :colbert:

I assume it'll be like the y1/y2 transition.. the amount necessary to hit tier 5 in a stat will increase meaning you'll have to upgrade or discard all your old stuff.

Stuff like that is pretty standard for MMO's.

I wish stuff like armor could come with us. It's annoying when great armor designs are made useless because of obsolete stats. I miss my VoG Warlock armor... :(

I think the Y1 break was unique, the perk setup was broken for what they wanted to do with the game so they decided to just cut it off and move on with life.

Remove the classic modes for sure. As for rift and salvage etc, have them be rotating. Like zone control or the terrible inferno and mayhem modes.

I never got a black spindle because sniper rifles are dumb and I suck at using them anyway.

Snipers quickly became obsolete for me even in Year 1 when Ice Breaker was king. Sniping the confluxes in Vault of Glass with Vision of Confluence was infinitely easier.

The VoG raid set is the only raid set that doesn't look like poo poo. Ever since it's been bones and scrapyard finds.

From the looks of it the RoI raid won't be much better. It's all gonna be some dumb tron poo poo.

New IB gear looks great though, especially the Warlock set. I agree that the raid stuff is pretty meh with exception to VoG.

I hope so. After running KF a couple times this week it's just so time consuming, I mean I'm sure a lot of that has to do with how we hadn't done it awhile but still. I also hate the no revive mechanics too. What a load of unfun cat poo poo

KF would be so much better without all the useless platforming that's there to pad out the runtime.
