    the rep gains don't feel "seriously neutered" to me, on net

    you get fewer per patrol or mission or whatever, but you get both at the same time now

    plus with the class items that boost gains

    i'm still gaining about one rank a week in faction rep, and one and a half or two in vanguard rep

    just like before

    it just looks like less if you look at it one gain at a time

    I dont really care about the Vanguard rep at all, I want new shaders and ships, Vanguard gives none of that, they can have that stuff back for all I care.

    Even with the Exotic Class items you dont get anything remotely similar to before, the removal of the Nightfall/Weekly Heroic rep gain/buff are the biggest reasons, but bounties and patrols giving far less is also noticeable.

    Bungie said this themselves and said they'd "make up for" the rep gain/Nightfall buff being removed with something of similar value, 2 months ago and thats it, nothing has happened after that.
    Motes of Light for rep gain helps offset the reduction due to losing out on the weekly or nightfall bonus.

    Are you gaining 330 Motes of Light a week? Because thats how many you'd need to use to make up for 3 characters not getting the Rep gains alone, thats even without counting the NF buff for the week.

    I don't play 3 characters at the same time. And even when I may play more than one character, I didn't tend to worry about completing both the Nightfall and the Weekly to maximize my rep gain prior to playing the game itself. The change to the nightfall to not give rep buff, while initially annoying, has completely changed my play. In that I don't have the weight of the Nightfall as first thing to do on Tuesday, I feel relieved. And that, plus what appears to be improved drop rates of shaders/ships, combined with more useful drops in general that aren't just motes, makes me feel that the offset is sufficient.

    I don't care about not being able to level up a rank twice in a week if I'm getting rewards roughly 2-3 times as fast. And given that I went 25-30 ranks with no ships and only 1 shader in New Monarchy in Year 1, and since TTK have gone about another 10-15, and gotten a ship and 3 more shaders, I think I'm ok with the overall changes. Yes, it is RNG and yes it's anecdotal, but TTK has made me feel like those rank-ups aren't totally fucking worthless, even if they (maybe) come less frequently for me.

    But I think your experiences with the economy and my experiences with the economy are opposites, some from RNG, some from expectations. I feel TTK has generally been a step in the right direction (with Raid loot being the main issue of contention). But what I see isn't what you see, and that isn't what the non-hardcore see.


    EDIT: I guess my broad point is - I think TTK has made improvements in that I feel like the rank ups have been more rewarding, and combined with the relief of not needing to have to hammer out Nightfalls to start the week, net result is a positive feeling that TTK did deliver to me an economy that felt more deliberately designed and less just BIG NUMBERS

    You're probably right. If nobody else jumps on in the next two hours, I'll cancel it and reschedule it for the weekend.

    Assuming that winds up being the case, anyone want to do some PoE in a few hours? I'm sure there must be other folks looking to build up HoJ rep ...

    Is ToM really necessary for HM Oryx? Cause....darn it I was content with never getting it cause I hate collect-a-thon missions.

    Also Shen, raising with PA group is like going to the gym. You think everyone is watching but in truth everyone isn't.

    You say that, but when you're the last person stuck on a platforming section for 45 minutes and you can actually see them watching while someone tries to coach you through it... :P

    Naw for sure, there's never any pressure. I think ultimately I'm just not comfortable with regularly setting aside time for what's supposed to be leisure. It's the same reason I grumble about going to the pub with mates!

    Before it was:
    Run Nightfall/Weekly = Get rep

    Now it's more like:
    Run anything = get motes/glimmer = trade for rep

    I sympathize with Siri because I don't want to trade in-game materials for rep (I prefer to hoard), whereas I was just fine trading time for rep directly. Personally it doesn't feel as good to me to get rep in smaller chunks over the course of a week (even if they add up to more rep overall) than it does to get a big chunk of rep once per week.

    Edit: I also don't care that you get Vanguard/Crucible rep in conjunction with faction rep. Once you get to rank 3 the rep is mostly irrelevant.

    Guys buy three of the Suros armsday pulse. This gun with the right rolls (full auto or hidden hand) will be the new y2 meta (behind s perfect grasp of Malik)

    Don't miss out. Get 3 so you can grab a solid roll if it comes and hand onto the others for better/god tier some day

    On your sound advice (and against my initial reservations), I picked up a Y2 Bad Juju and have been using it this week for crucible. Oh man, it feels good. I win so many fights against "better" guns just because the RoF is so high, and I've won several close engagements with the full auto hip fire. Couldn't be happier to see a legendary version on sale this week. If I can get one with full auto and decent range perks I may never look back.

    Also, apologies for the anemic performance this weekend, but feel free to hit me up if you ever need another for trials. Don't care much about most the gear, but I still enjoy it more than most anything else in Destiny.

    First off, don't remotely worry about "performance"

    Trials is a blast but depending on match ups and team chemistry /strategies performance is a fickle beast. You can be playing well and forcing wins but not get any kills or end up on 3v1 slaughters. And regardless the new format is a ton of fun just completing bounties.

    Secondly, glad you're digging juju. It reminds me of tlw a bit in a weird way. You can open up hip firing and ads as you go which lets you get that first shot most times or finish dudes running.

    Also it's actually the best ttk for pulses other than grasp because it can always 3 shot and the Nirwens type can only 2shot on super low armor guardians.

    Technically red death CAN always but even the best players hardly ever get it so realistically it's still a 3 shot.

    Pulses are weird cause of the burst delay so it's technically 8 bullets from juju or 7 from Nirwens so the ttk evens out a bit compared to just looking at 3 bursts

    But in the end juju ends up with a solid ttk. The exotic perks are God send for trials and hip fire helps deal with rush downs a ton.

    Also the synergy with shock lock is insane. The super energy from being around teammates + super from juju kills meant I sometimes had my bar 3/4 fill by end of round 1 in trials.

    I've only used my lock on one card and I'm 1/1 for lighthouse, I don't think that's a coincidence.

    It's funny you mention that, because when I was playing with it it felt a LOT like my Y1 TLW. Full auto hip-fire while ADSing for range just gives so much mobility and versatility.

    It's interesting you had such a good run with stormcaller for trials, because I tend to think of it as the least trials-oriented subclass. The grenades are pretty bad, and the super seems really inconsistent. I love it for 6v6, where you can just hover around shocking chumps down, but against a coordinated team, I often get focus fired before I can rack up more than a single kill. I've run sunsinger for so long because of the amazing neutral game and shenanigans that the super allows, but this week voidwalker has just been clicking like crazy for me. Maybe I should give stormcaller another try on a card this weekend.

    Also there is a way to get Strange Coins for sure, you wont get that many but maybe enough to let you buy something you need? When you do 3 Patrols without going to Orbit, you get Curious and Curiouser immediately after, which seems to give 2-3 Strange Coins for completion on average.

    I got it a few times last week trying to max out VIP Patrols to get some more Grimoire Score because I wanted an even number, now I'm tied with @Vagabond at 4660 as number 2 ... I'll never get near OG though, not trying to either.

    Also I have another thing I can calculate from those Destiny hours, a little over a year of playing an once each day I exercise for an hour+ (probably a little more on average) while playing and I count the calories.

    So that amounts to an average of 213.500 calories (low measure, real number is probably a bit higher.) burned while playing Destiny.

    Sadly, I discovered on my recent Lighthouse trip that the Lighthouse Grimoire card is broken in Year 2. You can get the Osiris card but not the actual card for the Lighthouse.

    Seeing as Grimoire was like 50% of my motivation for going to the Lighthouse, it left me rather miffed. That said, maybe Destiny will fix it so there is still a reason to try and push for it. Grimoire completion is like a whole other sub-game/horrible compulsion.

    Also there is a way to get Strange Coins for sure, you wont get that many but maybe enough to let you buy something you need? When you do 3 Patrols without going to Orbit, you get Curious and Curiouser immediately after, which seems to give 2-3 Strange Coins for completion on average.

    I think it's just a random chance after doing a patrol mission to get the Curious and Curiouser mission.

    I've just done 9 patrol missions on Mars and it hasn't popped yet.

    Thats weird, I got it right after 3 Patrols on 3 separate occasions? Luck I guess.

    I did them on Earth if that matters somehow.

    Barely, but if you are using Destinystatus to check, you probably have.

    On my friendslist I think I'm 7th in time played... @Brogey is the current leader, by a mile.

    Yeah, I think Brogey has like two months of played time... :P

    I'm sure Erevar has you both beat though.

    Did some quick checking...

    @Brogey: 2210+
    @dinoarus: 2208+
    Me: 1938+
    @Erevar: 1913+
    @Sirialis: 1814+

    EDIT: This was adding up just the Hours from all three characters on destinystatus.com

    Those top numbers are a little off, Bogey has more than 2 days on OG.

    Edit: Best part about looking it up, @Brogey 's avatar does this little victory pose.

    I love Bogey's avatar

    I got it a few times last week trying to max out VIP Patrols to get some more Grimoire Score because I wanted an even number, now I'm tied with @Vagabond at 4660 as number 2 ... I'll never get near OG though, not trying to either.

    About that...

    I used to get that mission all the time when running patrols but I've yet to see it in a while. So there may even be an item associated with it and a quota.

    Okay, looks like I have to go win 11 games of Clash, 3 of Skirmish, and play on either Timekeeper or Cathedral of Dusk :cool:

    Better throw a Flawless Victory on the pile there to make sure.

    I looked at the Grimoire score earlier, I think @Arteen was at 4640-45 or something then, he's probably hacking.
