The people that are able to kill Omnigul on the hill before she goes off, are already so over-powered, they hardly need that extra loot drop.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
of note from the weekly update
Iron Banner returns next week, on Tuesday, October 4th, at 10AM.
The game will be Supremacy.
You had to know that Iron Banner would reawaken in Rise of Iron. We have some different ideas for how this contest can reward the Guardians who submit themselves to it. You’ll find more paths to rewards and customization:
The Tempered mechanic is gone – play when you want
There are now 4 Weekly Bounties
Bounty rewards include:
An Iron Banner item not featured on the Vendor
A chance at an Iron Banner Artifact or Vanity Item
25 Legendary Marks
750 Iron Banner Reputation
Victory in a match grants 250 Reputation
Iron Medallions grant 150 Reputation each, upon Victor
On this occasion, this is what you’re fighting for, in addition to the other random items that can be earned by completing Bounties.
AUTO RIFLES
SHOTGUNS
HUNTER ARMOR
TITAN ARMOR
WARLOCK ARMOR
This new experience begins when you report to Lord Saladin. You’ll find him where he truly belongs, as the king of the mountain.

According to Senior Designer Victoria Dollbaum, this is the first step in a post-launch iterative process.
Victoria: We’re looking into the way Destiny: Rise of Iron rewards the completion of activities with items that will increase your Light. Currently, our opinion is that Ghosts and Artifacts are dropping less frequently than intended, making it difficult for players to reach higher Light after 365. In the weeks to come, we’ll be investigating a solution that provides alternate max Light sources for these two slots. Additionally, when the Heroic Raid is released, many Activities and all Engrams will increase their maximum Light, making it easier overall to progress.
There is more to come on this front. Stay tuned for more details, announced alongside the activities that are yet to appear in your Director. Keep that feedback loop rolling.

It's that time again: Xur Report time!
Xur has returned to the tower this week and he's hanging out in the lounge, way in the back of the hangar. Here's what he has this week.
The Legacy Engram is for Boots. This is a Xur Debut. Don't buy it.
For the Titan, it's the classic Armamentarium. I bet you'd like to have more bombs...
For the Hunter, it's Sealed Ahamkara Grasps. I bet you'd like to have more smoke...
For the Warlock, it's Voidfang Vestments. I bet you'd like to have more Axiom Bolt Seekers...
The weapon this week is the MIDA Multi-Tool. With trials and Iron Banner coming back, well, of course they'd offer this...
Ornaments this week:
Heart Of Gold for Truth - EVer wanted a gold rocket launcher in Destiny? Here ya go.
Iconoclast for Invective. Gives it a nice red trim, but not as cool as the other ornament.
So there we go folks, that's it for the text report, stay tuned for the video report coming right up.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
Is there any real difference between the "new" Exotic weapons and the "old" ones in terms of stats? Seems to me it would be fine and cheaper just to infuse.
We had some success last night running the Devi's Lair strike over and over. Two us moved up five spots....when you load all the high blue engrams on. I went from 348 to 353. I was lucky enough to land several weapon engrams that I can use for the other characters and maybe infuse later. We plan on running it again tonight.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
Well i guess i am not taking the game back as my net service finally kicked into overdrive and completed the download of updates. Played it for about an hour last night and it seems a fine game. Not blowing me away, but nice. It does seem to expect the player to work out a number of things on their own, but i don't hold a grudge against games that do that these days (unless its nightmarish in the sheer number of things to figure out).

They make you want to keep everything and then limit your backpack. I can't wait until we get an upgrade on space.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
I would think if you can get someone you know running the Skorri artifact they can hold their super and help yours charge quicker
heroic is solar burn this week as well so that may help

Re: Bungie - Destiny
if this is the one where you have to go into strikes and get the kills I think the "cheese" was to have the strike start up and backtrack to an (patrol) area where you aren't having 2 others possibly steal your kills while they push forward

Re: Bungie - Destiny
Got a question regarding the discipline, strength, and intellect numbers of armor as the light level goes up.
Some of the gear I have say the chest pieces are around 358 and lets say Intellect and Strength show can be maxed around 82 & 80. So what are the numbers say for 365-370 and above armor? Am I wrong in saying at some point you can have armor that can max out the Strength, intellect and Discipline at some point?
I'm a sliver away from 360 on my Warlock (with 1/2 Blue on). I'm staying in the Devils Lair and I've seen several at 370 and above running it. Is 365 a good point to run the Heroic and higher stuff?
I'm really getting tired of seeing Class Armor stuff....I leveled up the Vanguard and FWC. I went to claim my reward and got Two Arm Bands from FMC and then got a Arm Band from Vanguard....the Class Armor Rare drop more than any other armor piece and I cannot decode them fast enough.

Yes...the normal ones but I still collect, save and then open several of the same hoping to land a legendary which happens.
We are now at 361 and seeing 363-364 rare in Devil's Lair. I've got a few though that decoded as a legendary but still one level below of the highest rare that's loads...the last three decoded....rare to a legendary...have been that way. But the faction and vanguard has been 2-3 points higher.

We were playing with someone last night who said he heard the Blue Ingram that drop are capped at 365....is that correct? Doesn't seem right since I see some at 365 and up still doing that Devil's Lair 320 strike.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
forge, strikes and rep packages
This shaxx crucible bounty is beginning to annoy me. I've done it on 2 of my 3 characters. On my hunter I can not get into any games where my team will hold more than one control point.
