You only have until 5AM EST Sunday to order crap?? I wonder if it's a bug as they should give us until at least reset day... Damn preorder cutoffs!

I am not really happy with the different tier exotics. I don't want to farm the same exotic multiple times or have to infuse all of them to 310. Also the new RNG exotic system still sucks. I decoded a legendary chest piece yesterday with my warlock and got a third hunter alpha lupi. How many of these damn things are you going to give me?

Oh man. I totally have the Destiny bug again. But in my crucible time over the weekend I really felt left out....like I was the only player without that deer skull helmet and electric ninja sword lol.

Info for this weeks Nightfall:

The Telesto void fusion should be fun to use this week.

That strike is pretty damn difficult at higher levels. It popped up during the weekly heroic strike rotation last week and gave the fireteam I was with (randoms) all sorts of problems. Defending the Warsat in the beginning is no easy task. Although I think there's already a cheese for it.

We got wiped about 8 times in a row before everyone quit. The skiff turret got me most of the time. 1 or 2 hits and your dead.

Chase, Ice and I dropped out of this the other night as well during a heroic. The warsat part is the biggest pain in the ass. At least for the NF this week the Telesto will take out each turret in one or two shots. It would also be much easier this week if anyone running a titan ran defender bubble for that part.

I watched the video to cheese it via glitch...seems fairly easy. Not that I'm condoning that type of thing.

I find the Warsat part to be a breeze especially when using the Zhalo Supercell

most dangerous part is not having the Warsat drop on top of you

Did the Nightfall on my Titan. Hardest part was the Warsat. Myself, gold and McRubick got it on the third try I believe. Telesto is a beast on it.

McRubick got Telesto as a reward. gold got Invective. I got a Hawkmoon (sorry chase...nevermind!). Also got an engram drop from S.A.B.E.R. which became a 4th Horseman.

That was funny the other night. "Ice, you might want to move".......BOOM!

not if you are trying for it to land on you

I had the Devil Walker in the Divide land on me the other day.

should be able to use the force lightning to lift it

This Crucible quest is a nightmare. Just when you think you're done with it by playing through every fucking mode, they make you do it again, only this time, you need wins! Well, Rumble can be a Top 3 finish, but still.

I'm finally to Salvage, after getting the other 5 modes done. I hope this is the last step to unlocking the Weekly bounties from Shaxx.

I got 167 legendary marks so far. What do you think I should spend it on?

Ghost Shell from Vanguard

Nope. After the Faction reps you go back to Shaxx, and he wants you to win 5 elimination matches. I'm hoping that it is done after that, because the only other mode he hasn't asked you to do is Trials.

I'm sitting on the max of 200

I've really only used it to infuse as most armor/weapons are obtained via drops

the Vanguard ghost shell is a good idea (suggested by TheKing) as it is 280 light, can be infused, and ghost shells are rarer drops .... also has a great perk of getting Wormspore from engrams in addition to what it normally decodes into

If you need a piece of armor really bad to get your light level up I would look at that but likelihood is it will quickly be replaced by something else

I was passing on purchasing any weapons but I'll probably look to aligning with FWC this week to get the RL and HC to get rid of some marks

by the way the Imago Loop which drops in strikes is a Fatebringer without arc (Outlaw/Firefly) and I really want the (Void, Arc, Solar) Flayer Mantle for my hunter

I don't even know why I'm bothering. Matchmaking takes 10 times as long now for me. I'm sitting 10-15 minutes in matchmaking, especially for stuff like Salvage and Skirmish. Nobody is fucking playing this game anymore apparently.

I'm assuming that all this work will open up the Shaxx bounties, and the "Unknown Rewards" for completing all 5 of them in a week.

Yeah, that quest is just awful. I can't wait to do it on all 3 characters to unlock weekly bounties....

OK, Bungie just made Zone Control available for the first time. It's Control, but the only points scored are from controlling the zones, not kills.

5 Grimoire for the first match...and 10 Legendary Marks!

OK, Zone Control is fun. It's how control should always be. Your team gets 10 points per zone held at I believe 30 second intervals. Maybe 15 or 20 seconds. So if you have a 2-1 advantage, you can build up a lead quick. 3-0 makes it even quicker. The Score limit is 1500. Just played a game where we held 2 most of the match, and then near the end we capped all three.

Yep, this is a mode I enjoy. Interesting enough, I got marks for my first playthrough, yet the marker still says I will earn marks for playing. Might be a good way to build up a reserve.

*edit* no marks for second play through

What is everyone using their marks on? The vendor gear is awful besides the ghost. I ended up just buying legendary engrams as i have no idea what I should be doing with them. I suppose I will infuse some crap if I ever get consistent drops above 290. All this 260/270 crap is a joke when I am 291.

Some of the vendors have decent guns.

seems like this would favor defender bubble bros
how do the new supers (lightening, bow, hammer) perform in taking down a bubble?

Depends on the map. Most of the new maps, the bubble wouldn't work as well because of how small they are, and how hard it is to actually maintain two zones because of it.

But yeah, you get on Delphi or Burning Shrine, sure, capping B with a bubble would be key. But the 1500 scoring limit makes for speedy play. I don't think Lightning takes the bubble down, the Arrow might. I think it's two hammers to kill the bubble, or 1 for the bubble and 1 for those inside.
