Last Wish is fun, I'd raid pretty much anytime though I've only done one with the guys from here - seems there's a couple tightly-knit PS4 groups already, though. I got 1kv quite quickly too so I haven't needed to raid for a while.
However now that there's more power to get it's time to rev that back up! You should also just do the first encounter of the raid, which is doable at 540, and will give you a huge boost, I'm talking +15 here since the encounter is 560.
Apparently whatever people are grinding tonight it's not Blind Well. I've never had this little luck finding an instance with people in it...

I'm up to 594 now. I think I need to start getting into some raid groups to get more consistent drops to max out and start being sad with everyone else who's 600+!
So while I was putzing around before taking a break I did a couple Forges with randoms. On one of those attempts we got to either 10 or 11 doodads deposited on wave 2. This was with no coordination of supers or such. I was running Sentinel and one guy was running Chaos Reach and no idea what the third had. I have no idea what the boss does or how difficult it is, but it seems that getting to him with a little preparation wouldn't be super onerous.
I figure an Orpheus Rig Hunter would do absolute work with all the adds in there just chain tethering stuff for easier kills and making orbs for your buddies to chain supers off of. Combine that with a Sentinel and either a Well warlock or a bottom tree sword warlock and you can probably do some serious work. Just gotta get going good enough to earn the supers.

Ahh, damn. If you were on PC I was gonna say the clan would carry your ass through the raid no problems.
No worries dude but I appreciate the offer. It seems like a very cool experience but I won’t be terribly upset if I never do it myself. There’s still a lot of stuff to do and long term goals for me to pursue.
Hell I still haven’t finished either Osiris or Warmind, and there’s probably stuff from both. Need to open up the Dreaming City too.
Its nice that Destiny is back to normal now. 7 powerful engrams tonight, three legs in a row. It feels like old times with the RNG.

What’s the next soft cap after 50? I’m about 535 and I don’t think I got any powerful gear from my first strike, either that or it’s not matching or exceeding my max ll
Thanks to Eits, I got my first Shattered Throne clear last night. And then immediately a second one to get Wish Ender. Since Black Armory is so far Bungie laying an impressive goose egg, hopefully I can finish a Last Wish this weekend, since we couldn't manage it last time.

Made it to the last wave of the forge by happenstance earlier after getting two shot by the boss and seeing it's light level I'm soundly in the camp of "nah I need more light" so I'll be grinding out my weeklies come the mornin
Got Oathkeepers from my first crucible match of the new DLC and they dropped at 607 LL. This turn of events also took a poopy match and turned it into wine. Also a 603 heavy.

I haven't bought the season pass yet but was able to start the quest for the forge. I really appreciated the big screen after talking to ADA-1 that I need to buy the season pass in order to proceed with the quest. So now I have an icon on the Tower that will never go away. I get what Bungie is doing here, but still fuck you!
I think now is a good time to take a few week break from D2 and play some games I've been neglecting for the past few months. See how the forge stuff shakes out once people can actually do it and decide if I want to start playing regularly again.
More dumb questions from me. Is this roll any good? Edit: spoilered image cuz huuuge.
Outlaw doesn't seem great for a shotgun, but full auto yes please. Trying to figure out if this is worth keeping around.
What’s the rest of the roll? Barrel/mag perks are pretty crucial in determining if a shotgun is worth keeping. Full auto trigger on an aggressive frame with full choke/rifled barrel with accurized rounds would be lovely, even after the rebalance
Edit: to elaborate, you basically want to achieve the tightest spread you can with the highest range, as what determines your total kill range is how far away the pellets start to spread too far to land enough on your target.

Thinking about it, I think people made a lot of assumptions about how the forges would be structured, as we tend to do and Bungie is more than happy to let us. With the staggered release of the forges, and based on what I read on forums about the general vibe/expectations, I think the assumption was that it'd be 600 to step foot in the door and maybe capping out at 620 at the last step and either 610-615 on the second wave with similar power progression from forge to forge, instead of getting fuckin' fisted from the word go.
Edit: But then you take a look at how the raid played out and ehhhh...

They are lots of fun with Wish-Ender.
And if Wish-Ender actually worked consistently they'd be even better.

And I'm at 603PL after getting not unlucky but also not perfect luck with 1 prime and 8 powerful engrams.
I'm not sure if the latter Last Wish drops are +5 powerful, but if they are I could see hitting something like just under 610 by the end of the week. More likely I will hit 607.
So looking like a couple weeks of grinding before I can do the Forge and then a couple more weeks or three of grinding to be raid ready.
Well, this is the gun I got by beating the first EDZ forge today with a couple of randos who got matchmade with me. Not the most exciting rolls! (Threat Detector and Surrounded) But it makes a nice chunka-chunka sound.
It seems like going with a mob-clearing super and Whisper of the Worm works pretty well, to ensure you have enough resources to finish off the boss. I haven't tried geomags yet but they probably do pretty well.

If you get 616 drops already you got god tier drops from RNG and nothing like the average drops that this powerful drop system usually gives.

That thing is 616, what PL were you and your blueberries when you finished the forge?
If they had bumped the level cap up last week, that would have gone a long way towards softening the blow of how hard this stuff is.
It's going to be hilarious watching people slam face first into the raid in 2.5 days. Wonder how long it will take, since its shorter than last wish, but the level gap will likely be much bigger

I didn't tell anyone to do anything. It was an observation. And considering that estimates had forge completion at (scrolls up) two weeks from now, seems a pretty fair one to me.
I can think of three "powerful" drops today that were in my best or second-best level slots already and didn't help me much. But I suppose that doesn't fit your narrative.
"why be goose?" doesn't strike me as the best route to de-escalation. It's cool though. I just thought it'd be nice to post up about getting this thing done on day one, given all the speculation. It wasn't easy! But it does seem manageable as a thing to do over the course of the week.

They really should have bumped the light level last week. Give people a week to grind out some levels when there's nothing else to do.
Especially with the raid where, like at Forsaken launch, giving people another week would make the whole thing work better.
