    Monte Carlo is great now. I wouldn't use it for the raid (not in a world where Vision of Confluence exists), but I love it.

    In other news, Xur's stock today is exactly why I'm worried about the exotic upgrade system.

    So he isn't selling the upgraded versions of exotics this weekend right? He's going to extend his stay until after the 9th and the update hits right?


    ...right?

    I could buy that helmet. Then I could hit 30.

    But I dunno if it's worth it with the expansion around the corner.

    I'd like to just take a moment and say that the Orion test flight was successful and that's the most amazing thing to happen to this blue planet in a long while. We're going back to space and we're one step closer to Destiny just being our reality, giant floaty death balls and time traveling machines and all!

    In the immortal words of Marky Mark, "c'mon c'mon, feel it feel it!"

    Oh, I'm also back in excite mode for the new stuff for some weird reason.

    I'm buying it. It still has some good perks for a striker. Besides, I might run VoG as soon as possible after the reset and get lucky grabbing the raid chest piece.

    Here's a question (my apologies if it has already been answered): I have a couple of exotic bounties that are not yet completed. If I wait to complete them after the release of the expansion, will the exotic weapon I receive be the new version or the old one?

    I'm inclined to wait to finish them until after the release because if the reward is the newer version, I just saved myself a ton of work and materials.

    While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.

    Thanks to everyone that ran the normal raid last night! It was a blast, and it went pretty well until we wiped a couple times on Atheon.

    I'm hoping they do something cool for Christmas. The Jack O'Lantern heads were cool (if a bit buggy in that it only worked on my warlock) but I want more dammit. Make the Cosmodrome covered in snow, or have it snowing or something (I mean it IS Russia after all). Also fur cloaks.

    I think it's safe to say Mythoclast won't be upgraded in the Dark Below. It might become eligible in the next expansion though. My guess is that the reward for having Mythoclast is to have the "best" exotic primary to start in Crota on day one. Then the exotic from Crota Hard will be the best exotic in the House of Wolves, ... repeat indefinitely.

    It seems like a decent method overall.

    So, see, you just have to complete the bounty and get the upgraded gun.
    Where as I completed the bounty, blew a shitload of mats and glimmer, and will still have to use a fucking shard to get the upgraded gun.

    Because fuck people that already did it, right?



    And just to be clear, I ain't mad that new people don't have to deal with all that shit. I'm happy for them! I'm just not happy that everyone who already did it gets fucked.

    Out of the few things I find dumb in this expansion this one takes the cake. I'm super glad I'm lazy with exotic bounties since I have two in my inventory right now.

    I think mythoclast still will get a higher version. Reason being the upgraded thorn had an attack of 302 base which was way higher than mythoclast base. I assume the upgraded mythoclast base (if its even possible to upgrade...) would be higher than its current max.


    Also I'm full on preparing for the dlc. Getting lock to 30 today. Possibly titan if a hm vault run can net either helm or chest.

    Getting my exotic bounties to the last step (thorn, pocket infinity, super good advice)

    Getting all vanguard/crucible/faction(well some factions) to be crazy close to rank up across all chars to spam commendations

    Final step will be going to bed Monday night with each character sitting with 20 completed bounties to hand in so I can pop telemetry and über level my brand new uograded thorn in preparation for the new raid.

    You know what I would like? Story expansions. Expand on this world, Bungie. Not everything has to be raid-related. I would absolutely pay for a pack of missions that are more about the story than a raid. Give us quest bounties that involve going places and doing things other than just "complete 25 unrelated strikes." If we had interconnected missions expanding on the Nine, I would eat that shit up.

    WTF Xur? (Hangar)
    - Helm of Inmost Light: STR +102
    - Young Ahamkara's Spine : DISC +95
    - Light Beyond Nemesis : STR +94
    - Plan C
    - Exotic Shard
    - no engrambling!

    ...and Xur missed me completely.

    Then again, I'm only missing 2 weapons and 1 piece of Warlock armor to complete my (current) collection, so the chances of him selling what I want/need are pretty slim.

    I'm pretty sure when I was teleported the first time last night I ran right past the first oracle, and wiped us. Whoops! Even with the couple it was still only about an hour to complete it, so no big deal.

    Also, are people here planning on completely bailing on the Vault? I hope not, as I probably won't pick up the expansion until Xmas time. Even if I did, I don't have the play time to run with the first groups on Crota to figure it all out, so I'm pretty much relegated to waiting until people know what's going on. In the mean time it would be cool to continue running the Vault, and finding all of the goodies inside.

    I think a lot of the "regular" teams will probably abandon Vault and focus on Crota, but I expect forum-created teams to continue running VoG. I still want the raid gloves on my Warlock, for instance, and I will generally fill in as a warm body if a raid team just needs more people (on Xbone, anyway).

    But if we're upgrading exotics to match up with the new batch, why shouldn't we be upgrading the old hard gun to match the new hard gun?

    Just a thought. We'll see when we see. If Mythoclast comes up to get upgraded, I'm taking that opportunity straight away.

I'll be willing to do it to help others because that's the right thing to do, it's still fun, plus I have a level 14 hunter who obviously hasn't tried it yet.
