    so my network and my Xbone decided they didn't want to talk to each other. great fucking timing.

    Did you get a Weasel error right beforehand? That always hard-locks my Xbone networking, so I have to do a full reset (hold the power button for 10 seconds, etc).

    i got a canary error and then my Xbone just went off-line completely and told me my wireless password was wrong.

    is all fixed now, it just had to happen right as the expansion launched.

    EDIT: anyway, i'm up for running NF, weekly, any HoW story missions or bounties. anything really on Xbone.

    EDIT: shite, was gonna wait to do the nightfall till I had done the story missions; but I think I want the xp/rep buff before I start diving into the other stuff. :(

    Guess I'm up for nightfall(s) after I drop my daughter off at the bus stop, so like...30m ish.

    marks are still needed, its the commendations that have been scrapped.

    Wow. I don't know if the helmets that DO and NM had before are what they have now, but they look pretty slick on a Hunter. I turned in my (very few) blue engrams which put me to the new rank and got a Legendary Chest engram from the postmaster. Turned into what I'm guessing is a Crucible chest. Hooray for not having to level it up to get the 36 Light out of it! That's pretty awesome. Also, I didn't realize that Exotics would be Ascended with shards. I misunderstood when people were buying them en masse, I thought it was to upgrade them ... a different way. I dunno. I was busy with a newborn, sue me! :)

    So looking at that weapon spreadsheet

    How much does the aim assist column actually impact pvp? I've akways sniped with revenge which had the worst assist. For quick swipe sniping I could see a big assist number being huge if it makes it more sticky ass you pass the head.

    Also what's with the new sidearm guns?

    Today is the worst day! Destiny is my crack and weapon stats on spreadsheets is my ecstasy...

    Don't put off the story mission and do Nightfall first, you get the Vestian Destiny sidearm early from the story missions and it's great for the burn.

    I think I'm going to trash the majority of my pre 333 weapons. Most don't have perks that are good enough to warrant spending the materials to upgrade them to 333 and certainly not use a light to get to 365. For some reason I was thinking their material requirements would be reduced in HoW so I hang on to a ton.

    Also, bummed that salvaging HoW legendary weapons just gave motes of light, and no shards. It's kind of obnoxious that the only source for TDB radiants is CE and only CE. Granted, the only equipment that uses them are from CE, but...still. :P

    Absolute earliest would be 4:45pm EST. More likely I won't be on until around 5:30pm EST. Just depends on how early I can leave work.

    Skippy and I have tentative plans to run story/Nightfalls this evening. I don't know what NATburn is planning, but it's probably the same thing, maybe with PoE thrown in near the end if we get some people to complete the pre-req stuff.

    Now I'm wondering what to burn my Commendations on. I've been working Dead Orbit for a shader, but man, there are so many new ones that I almost don't care anymore. Now I guess it's about "Which faction has the gear I want most/do I need to hit a rank in Vanguard/Crucible?"

    after rank 3 it's just getting a new package, right?

    there aren't, like, better rewards at rank 9 than at rank 6 are there?

    i really don't know anything about how this game works. geez

    So I quit playing crotas end and destiny because I hit 31 and realized it would be like...... 40(?) more shards to hit 32 and fuck that. So I am going to have to go back and farm more shards out of CE to get to 34 anyways because I need to ascend my gear?

    Ascending gear does not require Radiant (or Ascendant) shards. Ascending legendary gear requires Etheric Light; Ascending exotic gear requires Exotic Shards.

    Well, the influx of new items and gear and weapons (oh god the WEAPONS) has forced me to consider culling my weapon stash down even further. I suppose I don't really need a pair of Solar Harm's Ways. I don't think I need to have three Atheon's Epilogues. Maybe just one? I only use the weapon when I go into the Vault.

    I guess I need to decide if I really need multiples of some raid weapons and exotics. As it was, I was just hanging onto all of them for the most part and only sharding them if I got above three. But my vault overflows again.


    Hmm...I guess my thought needs to be "Would you Ascend this?"

    If so, keep multiples and plan on Ascending at least one. But then, I would like to have an Ascended Epilogue but not three of them...


    Damn it, they just increased the size of the vault. And I'm already back to this position? Never a more apt example of "growing to fit" than this, I think.

    No.

    I mean you could, I guess; but you would be better served just aiming for pretty much any HoW gear, including vendor, since they all start at 36 light, which is the cap for CE gear anyway.

    No radiants required.

    You'd still need to get Etheric Light to move it past level 32, but yeah, totally don't need to slam your head against CE to get to 32 now.

    If you want the perks on the specific armor though, like the Oversoul stuff (that only happens inside Crota's End, but you understand my point) then you might have to.


    Hmm...can you Ascend at any time or only when you've maxed and fully upgraded the armor piece? I don't know if I ever found that out.

    HoW equipment upgrades is really confusing the Tower Ghost chrome plugin, it doesn't seem able to tell what things are actually missing xp now, vs simply not being upgraded to HoW.

    Only unique Crota armor perk I like is on the Willbreaker's resolve Titan Gauntlets. Precision kill on a hive has a chance to spawn an orb. Warlock and Hunter can get one where a melee kill generates one I think.

    I can't imagine it doesn't? They'd have had to made those specific rep gains separate from every other rep gain that gets the buff.

    Hanging onto mine until after the nightfall.

    And am seriously regretting decrypting all the stuff on my characters inventories, before realizing that I lost a ton of rep by not waiting.

    At least I still have all the armor in my vault waiting to decrypt. :(
