Weekly update out.
Key blah blah:
-Iron banner ranks won't reset, but will one day I the future.
-Reforging is in...for one weapon. Timur's Lash. Costs motes of light. It said all IB weapons but I didn't know of any others.
-Iron Banner is now basically 20+ and gear will matter more.
-Queen's Bounty is out of rotation for a while because it sucked, only they said it in a nicer way of course.
-Iron Banner bounties have been toned down on completion requirements, xp and points towards IB increased.
-Tempered is a buff for those with little time. It'll increase as the week goes on for rank and marks.
-Losing will convert into a medallion that will then pop for comparable rep and marks when you finally win.
Pretty much no PvE information. Blizzard would be jealous of how many times bungie has used the word "soon" since release.

I havent gotten any raid gear on my warlock, my 27 hunter joins a ragtag band of VoG dudes and gets boots as soon as templar is down :?
They kinda cheesed the Templar and threw grenades at him until he fell over the edge, so I got that chest you get for not letting him teleport.

That's the only way we managed to beat the Templar (and Atheon >_>) during the single Hard Mode I've run previously.
Yeah, the girl who was leader did it on a 25 titan, but picked up her 30 warlock with full raid gear for Atheon, we didnt finish though, got stuck on the middle conflux part.
Also fuck Hunter double jump in VoG, Glide is sooo much better.

I for some reason predict people complaining that there's nobody under 20 in the list...
This was pretty obvious in retrospect, but it's been game changing for me. Doing the nightfall with arc damage active? Use the arc sniper until I'm out of ammo, then switch to Icebreaker to refill. Need fusion rifle kills for Pocket Infinity and nothing drops special ammo? No worries, I can just pause 30 seconds and get another 3-4 clips. Best Xur purchase evar.
I hate the fact that I was 1 (1!) strange coin short that week. Ah well, Suros came round again quickly enough so hopefully Icebreaker will too.

I actually started a new character and plowed through the story missions just to get the guaranteed coin on venus because I was also 1 short that week.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.
Any late night raiders want to hit up the VoG on the PS4? I need four people.
I'll go on my titan

Have a thought the other day on how to make the high rof ARs and pulse rifles better. Make it so weapons deal an increasing amount of damage the longer you can keep hitting them or for hitting them so many times in a small window of time. To keep it from making the better ARs/other guns too much better either make weapons need a certain RoF in order to get it, or make the bonus take a while to add a serious amount of extra damage on. *IE the first 10-30 add 3% per shot, the next 10 add another 6%, the next 10 another 15%, and so on.* Maybe also lock fusion rifles out of it, like how they don't get head shot bonuses.
Would also help with the bullet sponge bosses, since your normally keeping a huge train of fire on them. Also make non-sniper more effective.
Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

You forgot the most important part - iron banner gear will get on to level 30 now. A fact about which I am totally hype. But they will only provide 2 slots per event.
So tested it for myself and yes, solar weapons ignite the target when you hit something while Radiance is active on a sunsinger. Thats kinda huge. Im surprised it isnt widely known because this means that as long as you are attacking with a solar gun in between grenades that is a significant spike in dps.
Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

load up a fire sniper, pop super, hit enemy in the chest... profit. Keep doing this and wipe the team without even breaking a sweat. You can do this with fire anything really as long as you get enough damage into the enemy that the dot ticks them down. Now, I haven't confirmed, but from what I have read each application of fire damage onto the target is it's own dot stack. Essentially, if you put 2 grenades into a boss and then shoot 3 times with a solar weapon; some people are saying you get 5 dots rolling on the boss. I haven't been able to test this because I've been dumb and haven't turned on the dot for pve in forever (i like my 2 grenades too much).
No Q&A this week. Likely because it was becoming difficult to encounter a letter that WASN'T a Howler. Doesn't Bungie know that NOT answering them just makes them worse?
(Disclaimer: Much of the player feedback is likely unfair and incoherent stuff like "I played for 200 hours, this is a shit game with no replay value, you stole $60 from me, **** you Bungie!" Still, I find it mildly distressing how Bungie strikes like lightning to make things worse (Queen's Bounty rewards) and we're coming on a month with no move to make things better (Thorn, Bad Juju, the Raid). I sincerely hope that on a random day some week soon, the update screen pops up and says "Your Ghost has finetuned some of the rarer items in your inventory, give them a shot now, you'll notice a nice difference" or something.)

Finished the raid with @Sousuke@MagicPrime@vagrant_winds and two friends who aren't PA. It was a good run, Atheon was a bit tough at first but we eventually trashed him and took all his shards and energy.
Good run everyone.

This was my first run from scratch. I know the mechanics now. So it should go smoother next time.

You did good. It is always a little bumpy running a raid with new people but those last few attempts were really coming together and then that final one was really smooth.

Going to bed now after a fun few hours of Crucible with PA. Especially after the recent flood of "I think I'm done with Destiny" posts that hit the thread a week or so ago, it's nice to be able to hop on late at night, toss out 10-15 invites, and get a group together in just under two minutes.
The update has some cool and good news and leaves some important stuff out. I think Iron Banner will be more like what people envisioned when it returns. Glad they're putting the Queen event on hold, since it became utterly pointless. Only problem is that I'm not sure that they have any events planned for the immediate future, so everything's kind of status quo for now. Glad to see upgrade/sidegrade possibilities with IB. Still no mention of Osiris or any further balance work.
I imagine that when I wake up in the morning, it will be time for another thread! Rejoice!
