Probably already mentioned, but money maker consumables (seeds, idols, etc) seem to be providing more money now.
Where normal enemies only gave 1 glimmer, they now give 5-10 or more.
Gonna make saving up a lot easier.
5-10 sounds normal, maybe your grimore bonuses are active now?
Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

I have been running the raid for the last 7 weeks trying to get my hands on the titan gauntlets because it was all that was standing in the way of my becoming level 30 and everytime I didn't get it.
So needless to say I was happy about the 30 Light IB gauntlets available for sale... but wouldn't you know it I finny got the Raid gauntlets tonight after running the raid
I couldn't tell if it was because of the Iron Banana or if they have buffed it, but my arc grenades were actually killing people.
I only switched to Blade Dancer for the melee bounties, but lo and behold, grenade was doing some work today. I ended up with much more grenade kills than melee kills.
So with Destiny Public Events on the fritz because of the timer changes, I did what any sane person would do and toyed around with my trick speeder while waiting for the devil walker to spawn.
Fun fact: if you do a proper flip and land straight, you'll hear a chime telling you that your trick was successful. And it recharges your turbo meter.
Have you figured out how to do the kick tricks?
Kick tricks are trigger + d-pad (on the Xbox, assume the equivalent for other systems). So you boost and get air, then hold RT and pick a d-pad direction for one of four tricks, and these can be combined with all the rolls/flips you like. Stick ANY trick, and you get the ding and a refilled boost meter. Haven't figured out how/managed to chain the kick tricks yet though, but the second I can do a no-hands into a Superman, I'm gonna.
I watched a bit of @BillyIdle's twitch stream, since I'm stuck at work on a slow night.
Did anyone see any IB drops?
Glad you were watching! Hope you saw our 20295 to 3525 game (a full match against six players, no leaving!) near the end. I got a Timur's and I think @Darkyth got something at some point.
I think IB is fantastic. The maps have their own individual balance issues, and it isn't all that different, but I love the feel of IB. Lot of fun with PA's Crucible Crew - Shaxx Arcadia - in our fight for glory. Rotated out our fifth and sixth members like five times - love getting everyone involved. So many laughs and so many victories.
We even beat up on another premade team so hard that they all left after a few minutes! We made Lord Saladin proud tonight.
I just hit Level 20, is IB something I can succeed in or will I just get smacked down? Same goes for any Crucible game that enables player levels.
The big deal for you will be having a 300 attack weapon, because otherwise your bullets are just going to bounce off of level 30 folks. You're going to get shitcanned if you're caught out, but that's generally true anyway.
Being the only 30 in an all random match is hilarious because of this, you got some folks trying to use their Shingens or w/e, and I can just walk up and shotgun them through a hail of fire.

Thanks to @Evil Monkey and @Haximus for carrying me through the NF last night. I wasn't under-levelled or geared; I just kept pulling baby aggro. We got theough the Strike three time, thanks to their patience and time (and their Patience and Times).

I will say that Lightning Grenade is glorious and I'm upset that I wasn't shown the way sooner.
You're throwing down the hammer of Thor.
I've recently switched to the perk that extends its life, over extending my life after a melee kill, because frankly it's working out better for me.
Protoptip: sticking those things to a vertical surface, next to a capture point, is a great way to ruin somebody(s) day.
edit: so as my girlfriend and I both play Destiny together on two consoles right next to each other, we're planning to get the DLC/season pass on one console, and then use the purchasing account to play it on the other. Obviously this content isn't in the wild yet so nobody knows how it'll play out, but I'm wondering whether anyone's already tried something like this and can say how it works out with the new sparrow? As in, if I bought it on my account but she plays on the console it's activated on, it's probably not going to give her the sparrow, right?
Because I'd feel like a massive dick doing that.

Unless I am mistaken, all your "licenses" are linked to your PSN account. Thus it's only unlocked for whoever's account bought it. I think. This whole system seems convoluted to me. I'd be really curious to see a definitive answer on this as well.
Like early on I had some issues with my DLC pass not loading up and I had to go in the PSN settings to restore my licenses. So I really think stuff like DLC and downloaded games are linked to your PSN account.
Yeah, I've had that happen in the past (she has access to the pre-order guns and stuff in GTA V when she's on one 360, but can't buy them when playing on the other), so I guess we'll just wait and see how it plays out.
Went to bed 25 points short of rank 4. Woke up and grabbed the melee bounty to do on my Vita as I didnt expect to win a match. Get put into a match winning 1800 - 5000. Gloves bought. I'm now just a bunch of bounties away from 30.

Wish the game would have cooperated last night so I could have broke rank 4.
It's also kind of disappointing that you still can't see your IB match summaries on bungie.net. Unless I'm missing it or something. =\

Oh, trust me, the game was NOT cooperating with me either. I was in so many matches where we were up by like 4000 early only to lose the lead midway through then be down by like 2-3k. I'm sure it's hard to believe (because when does this ever happen) but those usually were the result of my team capping the third point.
Also, the thing about IB isn't how good you are; it's about how persistent you are. Of course, that's only because of the medallions now, but still.

A lot of activities aren't showing up. Like, I am VERY certain I ran the Nightfall and Weekly about 10 times yesterday and those are not showing up. Not seeing the Raid either. So no idea what's going on, but I'm missing all the good summaries.
Has anyone else done the new Blind Watch yet? If anything, it seems MORE imbalanced than the old one. You can't sneak up behind C by going over the top anymore, and trying to go through the either door to B is just asking to get sniped from across the room or auto rifled from the stairs, usually both. I haven't played a single game on the new map yet that didn't end up in a win by the B/C team by more than 10K points. Just straight ridic that the most unbalanced map got "fixed" to be even more unbalanced.

I would very much like to Iron Barbara with some PA folks on the PS4 this week. I hit rank 3 last night and I wants them gloves. Shoot me a friend request if that is your jam.

I really think they should have just moved the A point to the roof or just outside the doors to B, and gotten rid of the far spawn point (the one just behind A) so that the furthest back you could spawn is on the platforms to either side of the spinny doodad.
I kind of enjoyed the new Blind Watch. It feels a bit like a clusterfuck, but there is a lot more "fair" fighting going around. It definitely felt better, but I'm no Crucible expert. I just play it casually whenever an event comes around. I really just want to shoot people in the face.
So, had fun last night with a few of the PS3 crew, @Buraisu and @Grunt's Ghosts in IB. I didn't have long to play, but we had both highs and lows over the course of the couple hours I could play. Complete Domination followed by Nail Biting wins and losses to outright Slaughter (of us).
IB feels nice and weighty. I like the changes to the setup, including the expanded bounty list. (They need to increase the area of the match summary screen where you see what bounties increased.)
Blind Watch seems...worse in some ways. I mean, MAYBE it's not as unbalanced, but I hate that new placement for B. And the area for C is WEIRD. I swear the moment Bravo Squad spawns, they are inside C. That doesn't seem right. You still want to avoid A but now, the area for B is a bloodbath on both sides. It's quite chaotic and just a Guardian-grinder. So many floating Ghosts.
Unfortunately/fortunately, my internet decided to die on me toward the end of my time on. I was going to try and do one more (just one more!) and then get on as my Titan to go get the IB bounties for him. And suddenly my connection fritzes. After waiting for about a half hour, I was fallling asleep and just decided to hell with it. Deal with it later, or in other words, later today.
All in all, a fun if short night.
(And I still haven't had a chance to ride my stunt Sparrow!)

Still seems like taking BC and holding them is a fairly simple path to victory. B's a bit more chaotic now, but not impossible to hold.
The whole map feels really weird now, too; I mean, there are all these spaces that you can tell were designed with very specific gameplay in mind, and now they're demoted to areas you just run through (old C) or ignore entirely (old A).
So ill likely be on a lot this week for iron barbers. I'm usually playing with a buddy or two so might not be able to join the PA stomp squad but if anyone wants/needs a fireteam feel free to join me
The phone app has been fucked since the last update.
The website too. Hopefully they are patching that in soon. Then again, it's not really vital. I was just curious to see how fast we did the Hard Mode VoG last night. It's nuts how a few weeks ago we needed 2 raid nights of 2+ hours and now it's done in about 1 hour.

I meant cooperating in the sense of being able to get in and play, not get kicked out of a match randomly, or have extended downtime between matches between games as it tried to find players.
In terms of like actual matches I was able to complete, I was pretty strong. This IB doesn't feel particularly different from the last one.

Just got a triple with one, 2 of the kills postmortem.
Of course, I was lagging super hard, and then got a Baboon error right after that
