    Raid tonight? Who's in and what time PST? (y'all know me on Xbox)

    Had a plan to try and do one on reset night to see if we could get a blind group together. But I suppose if we can get a blind group tonight with people who signed up, could work just as well?

    i just hit 260 and don't know anything about end game shit but uhhh i'm up for it! Hardtrget on XBL

    alright, i'm good to go now for the rest of the day! :twisted:

    anybody on xbox up for doing some group stuff?

    edit - you also have to do call to arms to unlock the ability to do the 9 stuff

    just need to have done it once(on that character?), doesn't need to have been this week. i finished the milestone this week doing Trials.

    EDIT: also i guess a couple of folks from the Xbox clan got 7 wins cause there's an engram waiting at Hawthorne. :biggrin:

    If I wanted to try and get a Uriel's Gift to try out, is there an activity to focus on (like, is it tied to a planet vendor?) or is it just gonna be completely random?

    unfortunately the raid and trials clan rewards drop at 10 power. you'll need to infuse them to get their power level up.

    Giving less progress on the Crucible CTA for a loss really doesn't incentivize "actually playing this stupid thing". Went from "oh, like 9 matches, that's not bad" to "this will take a while", and honestly, I don't see that much point.

    I'm pretty sure that's not exactly the case. The % seems to depend mostly on the number of kills you get. I've seen it pop mid-match right after a kill.

    I think any of the planet vendors can give it, maybe gunsmith too.

    Dang, our raid group bashed our heads against the dogs for 3 hours with no progress. That encounter can be really frustrating. Try it again next week I guess

    each location NPC will have 4 per week that can be repeated.

    I think they show up as activities at each locations 'person' once you've completed all of them on a planet.

    I mean, at least it puts your success or failure a bit more in your own hands, rather than being at the mercy of a crappy team.

    I think I figured it out. They switched the matchmaking between Quickplay and Competitive around such that Quickplay matches are now 3-4 stacks vs you and Competitive matches aren't. Or that was my experience today.


    Kind of bummed that I'll probably have to run a scout on all my chars until I find some other weapons that gel with my playstyle. I've now received 3 Eye of another worlds... the latest one being at 272 light! Yay!

    edit: also, infusing exotics of higher light doesn't require legendary shards? neato!

    Yeah, everybody's grouped up trying to finish their milestones in quickplay to get access to Trials. It's pretty silly you have to do it for each character as well.

    Did the post-raid quest and I won't spoil it, but

    1) The strike is like nightfall on steroids.
    2) The reward is hilarious and wonderful

    I mean technically it is a Prestige Nightfall. Same time limit same sort of modifiers.

    Hey man our 3 win card laid the foundation that is the basis that they hoped (and succeeded) to build their future on. I'm pretty sure.

    I still need to do Rat King, the nightfall, and the raid looks like.

    At between 6-8% per game, I can safely say that no engram is worth having to be exposed for this long to people who willingly name themselves something like "kushkilla420".

    Spent the afternoon basically running from public event to public event to level up (also because I needed do so many to open up the fractured arrow ability. Finally hit lvl 20 so I can take advantage of the faction reward engrams.

    When do I open up the speeder bike things (forget what they are called), is that a story achievement? I'm only up to the IO mission there.

    Edit: also is there a trick to the legendary weapons that are only like 10 power, or are they just good for dismantling?

    The point of having only 10 power to start is to avoid pay-to-win with the bright engrams and to actually make sure you do the legwork to infuse it to a higher level with the stuff you get for free. So, not it's not just good for dismantling, because of infusing it can be made just as good as any other item.

    Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

    you get access to sparrows when you finish the story

    which for some reason no one bothers telling you or how to get one
    go buy one from amanda

    or sometimes you'll end up getting one from a bright engram

    Allegedly a voice of reason.
