I'm gonna try to get on tonight and IB it up with people. I've been able to do early evening groups for the week but I wanna get that sweet action goin.
Y'all gotta maybe deal with my brokeass level 25 Hunter though. Maybe. We'll see.
Can't do Iron Banner until 40.
Can! Just have to have someone else invite you into a party.
Are you sure about this? It won't say "a member of your fireteam does meet the requirements" or whatever it says when you try to raid with someone who is a baby?
I've got a 1K Yard Stare, the Vanity Handcannon from FWC and the Hung Jury from Dead Orbit. Any other suggested weapons or items to buy?
Red Death 2.0? Invective 2.0?
Objection from New Monarchy is the Bastard 2.0 (BTRD)
Not Like The Others from Vanguard has some strong proponents.

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.
I've got the baby Red Death, the Raid gun with the Life Support perk, although I've never noticed it. I do enjoy Pulse Rifles on my Warlock (Bad Juju, Raid).
I don't have Qulim's Terminus, just a couple Ruin Wakes for my MG needs. I'll go look at the Objection then and have my Titan buy it if it appeals.

So to clarify, I just need to take part in Iron Banner, not necessarily win, correct? I'm only light 261so I'll likely have my Arse handed to me but I'm not really fussed about winning.
You'll probably be doing 30%-40% less and taking that much more damage if I remember the formula. So just keep that in mind.

Honestly I find Bungie to be shockingly responsive and attentive to what goes on in unofficial-but-large communities like the subreddit. Their response time for issues/common complaints is actually incredibly good for such a large dev and for a game as huge as Destiny.

Great that they are fixing the Nightfalls, how about giving us 9 Strange Coins for beating the Weekly Heroics again?
Those marks are not worth the same as 500 Rep and 9 coins + 3 blue engrams.
The Sidearm is too, especially because it rocks a hilariously high crit modifier. It will take some getting used to, but it seems like it's probably a fun choice if you're trying to shoehorn a sidearm in.
Is this just a drop from IB or is it something that may be sold in future events?
The last IB ship, "Birth of History", was drop only from IB games.
I got the Birth of History last night, was pretty stoked! For a filthy pubby casual, I've been pleased at how Iron Banner's been going so far. Almost to rank 4, weekly bounties done (except for rank 4 one), and a few games where I topped the charts! Although I'm still hoping to actually collect some IB titan gear, hopefully more will drop as my rank increases.

Good to hear, though I'm looking forward more to the sidearm than the pulse. I seem to not be gelling with pulse rifles in this iteration, even Red Death.

Once you hit rank 4 (slightly before, actually) the weekly bounties, assuming you are wearing the appropriate IB stuff, will take you to 5, even with the small-ish bonus today.

Their message machine is responsive, but it often gets its lines crossed. They definitely aren't the worst, but they are far from the best.
And when they nerfed the economy it wasn't the first time they quietly snuck in a big change like that. It's something we deserved to know before hand.

That last update felt a little like OH LOOK AT THESE FUNNY EMOTES! (by the way weapon parts are going to be rare) ITS THE CARLTON, ITS SO FUNNY! (Strange Coins will be harder to get) HAHAHA EMOTES YAY! (Motes of light will be more rare too) COME AT ME BRO! LOL
I like the emotes, even though I only got the "Formal Bow" one so far, I like that one, a positive emote was a welcome one, didnt like the economy nerf, I dont feel it was really needed.
Motes of Light is actually something they increased.
You get mad motes from doing Public Events now (got 5—I think?—for minimal work on an extraction crew event on Venus while waiting for the Taken to show up)
Very worthwhile doing if you're in the area.

For real? I got a couple of singles in a row and was like, "The fuck, didnt I used to get 3 of these?" I did notice that the level up is 5 instead of 3, but that one isnt going to happen that often.
Motes arent really a concern for me at least, if I traded my ascendant/radiant stuff I'll have around 2500 Motes of Light IIRC, I probably have the same amount of weapon parts stocked away.
If only I could trade those for Strange Coins...
Edit: Here it is, apparently its not an overall nerf.
Sources for Motes of Light have been adjusted:
From completing Public Events have been increased by approximately 100%
From earning XP post-40 have been increased from 3 -> 5
From Faction Rep packages have been reduced from 5 -> 4
From dismantling Rare and Legendary Items have been reduced by approximately 25-30%
From Daily Vanguard and Crucible Bounties have been reduced by approximately 50%
Mainly to combat people equipping blue gear and using motes to level it and dismantle it for more motes I guess.

Me me me me meeeeeeee
Doh. Might be able to do something earlier on Saturday. I get off work at a decent time for a change. I'll let you know, thanks Holy.
According to this here...
Sounds like that's the case. Don't need to be 40 to play, but definitely would help your light level.
So, I need to buy something. Suggestions?
I've got a 1K Yard Stare, the Vanity Handcannon from FWC and the Hung Jury from Dead Orbit. Any other suggested weapons or items to buy?
Red Death 2.0? Invective 2.0?
Objection from New Monarchy is the Bastard 2.0 (BTRD)
Not Like The Others from Vanguard has some strong proponents.
Of those two I'd go for Red Death. While it's perk has shown up elsewhere now it's never as reliable. Invective is fun but not really terribly strong.
If Marakir has Qulim's Terminus I would disregard the Objection.
Red Death is definitely a rad gun, even though some are saying it's special ability doesn't trigger as often anymore.

I don't have Qulim's Terminus, just a couple Ruin Wakes for my MG needs. I'll go look at the Objection then and have my Titan buy it if it appeals.

Just somehow ended my last game with top overall score. No idea how it happened.

I don't see that happening when they're trying to slow down coin acquisition
Also 9 coins is 675 rep

Hit them in the head.
Repeatedly.
If you're lucky it'll proc one of your three luck in the chambers and they'll go down like a sack of spuds.
Use hammer forged and you can do this from further away (also, IIRC the bigger your range value is, the better your aim assist on the gun will be)
