That's not hoarding! I certainly don't have enough free space for 8x stacks of every planetary material.
My original idea was to have 1k of each in the Vault, and then a partial stack on each character (for gear upgrades). I don't think I've ever touched the initial mats that I vaulted. I've stopped checking in with the Reef every week, as well, since those mats would just take up space. And I'm too lazy to dump mats on factions, even though I probably should. <_< Well, with the exception of Spinmetal - I check the weekly reset to see if anybody takes it, then I dump it. Otherwise I'd be overflowing with it.

But why do you still have your Y2 MoT Book item and all those HoJ Tokens?

I swap my Dread Explorer shell and Radegast artifact around for all my characters, and I don't pay attention to what I throw in those slots as placekeepers. =P

Also thanks all for letting me provide the comic relief for your five man raid last night, worst luck/derpiest raid ever (head seeker orbs from the side killed me in two different phases, skiff dropping the tank killed me in one shot, Baske kept killing me, it was bad).
Edit: Ok I just looked at the stream and I was CLEARLY behind a box when that skiff killed me during the siege engine, Bungie pls nerf.
Some additional math from the comments (emphasis mine):
Interesting to see the stats. 180,000 players still sounds like a good amount though, but the decline is clear. The game has been out quite a long time though
That's 180,000 across multiple platforms, 4 days, and 3 man teams. If it were divided evenly across 2 platforms and 96 hours, that would be just above 300 teams playing on each platform at any given time.

Trials of Osiris is a great idea, it just hasnt been handled very well in the later stages of its lifecycle.
Still not really sure what you guys expected of ToO in terms of competitiveness. Though I guess maybe it's because competitive to me is a match with a 50/50 win chance all factors considered...
edit: enforcement and punishment of of clear cheaters and exploiters being a given expectation.

Edit, notable stuff:
"All you Strikers out there, are about to shed more Light on the scene than you ever have." - well, that's cryptic as fuck. O_o
Crucible playlists are being condensed.
"The Crucible Quartermaster will now offer 5 new bounties each week for different weapon archetypes ... yes, there is a Hand Cannon bounty that can reward an Eyasluna!" - seems like a good way to target drops once a week.
Nightfall buff will affect both rep and XP, just like old times.
Next week's stream about armor/weapons should be veeeeeery interesting. DeeJ hints that he might wear that swankyjacket again.

This is probably a reflection of the time I have to play but I rarely have vanguard and crucible bounties at the same time. I pick up bounties for what I'll be doing, wrap them in that session, and then move on, so I hardly ever have a space problem. I'm also all for weapon specific bounties because that'll mix the crucible up, maybe change the absolutely non-stop parade of palindromes/eyaslunas/wormwoods that it is now.
That being said I got a palindrome out of an engram last night with sureshot/icarus/rifled barrel/reactive reload and you'd better believe I'm taking that out with my shiny new Shinobu's tonight.
More bounties? Do we get more bounty slots to go with it?
Eh. I didn't understand why they removed them in the first place. Particularly after adding all the extra strike bounties, and daily petra bounties. They actually removed PvP bounties and left the handful of daily ones that you can (usually) finish in a single match, one of which was always a fireteam, so for the solo PvP'er, only 5 bounties a day.
I can't think of a reason to need to carry both PvE and PvP bounties at the same time, aside from maybe a holdover weekly bounty or something.
Reddit commenters are saying that Trials bounties will reward Y3 weapons, but I don't see any confirmation of that in the TW@B.
Also, the "Strikers" mentioned above may be referencing "people who run Strikes" because of Daybreak - maybe not "Striker Titans" which was how I read it.

It was after the thing about Eyasluna:
"These bounties have also been updated and all of them are now able to be completed daily while Trials of Osiris is active. Silver and Gold tier bounties will now feature Gear and Weapons from Year 3."
- ToO Silver/Gold tier will reward Y3 gear
- Story playlist will NOT have matchmaking
That's too bad, honestly.
If you're doing the story playlist, you've done the main campaign already. Many (most?) people did it solo.
Having some other people along with you would make it at least not feel so lonely; and it isn't like difficulty is really an issue for solo story missions, even on heroic.

The cheater/exploiter points you mention and this new tidbit.
If there isnt anything for casuals to play Trials for, it quickly devolves into a super sweaty grindfest with horrible matchmaking (not skillwise, but connectionwise), anything to drive up participation numbers should take care of at least some of those issues.
Bungie also really needs to step up their game and actually permaban cheaters and paid carriers at some point, that the company that literally coined the term "Banhammer" are such chickenshits about permabans in their most competitive mode disappointed me a fair bit.
The rest of that Crucible bounty quote is interesting, at least to me: "allowing you an opportunity to earn a variety of Crucible, Iron Banner, and Trials of Osiris weapons from Year 2 and Year 3."
I might still be able to get the old Iron Banner guns! That is exciting!

G'morning all, I'm looking for 3 more for a PS4 1pm Eastern WotM HM raid today. If anyone is available and up for it, let me know. And if not, I guess I'll be sad or something.

I am dying to see all of WOTM, but I don't think we have enough active folks PS4 side right now. I'm trying to train up a couple folks right now, and a friend of mine is 400 and hasn't raided in a while. We might have to wait for Age of Triumph to launch, but we might be able to do something.

There don't seem to be too many things added and we have months of 3x boxes. Fairly sure I'll be able to get it done organically. We'll see.

Gheleon's had one back late last year that was main discipline, but you can also choose int, it just is stuck at 30ish or you can have 100+ disc
I'm pretty sure its actually impossible for Jolder to be int/disc
