I would love to see normal runs go on as well.  Its still fun and good practice for mechanics.  Some items are nice regardless of light levels which can be increased later.  Hopefully we can get more runs going throughout the week or at the same time if enough people are on.

DarthTabasco's message wishing Destiny's end game was more like Diablo 3's resonated with me, as with some of you. But then I remembered the obvious... We never got the competitive PvP that the D3 team promised before launch. And I feel pretty sure that the reason is the extreme difficulty of balancing not just multiple classes, but highly diverse builds for each of those classes. I sure wouldn't want that job.

Regarding a second raid each week, I would love to see that happen, but I don't know if we have enough interest to sustain two raids, at least not every week. There have been two or three weeks where the Friday night raid was just hanging out hoping for some sixth person to show up. Thankfully, we always found our sixth, but that was due to a combination of good luck and everyone scanning their friend lists.

If someone wants to make a go at organizing a second raid, then it should be in a different time slot (one raid per week is enough for me, but I'll bet some of the Friday raiders would join). What we should try to avoid, of course, is two raid groups of five per week. That would be no fun at all!

I'd like to take part in the Friday night raid groups again, but the 9pm start time is what's been keeping me away lately (family obligations).  If there was a 2nd weekly raid group that started an hour later or something I would sign up almost every week.

there have been several times I have not chimed in as the spots were full, but I'm not sure how many other lurkers there are

These moments in time when Bungie tells us they'll have more to tell us next week. It's usually followed up by a "Ride Along" video that doesn't offer one hint of new info.

Groan.  sad

I don't get why they are doing these "ride along" streams. I could see doing them a few months ago when TTK dropped, but we've pretty much "been there, done that". 

They are really stringing us along with these "updates".

Hey Gents,

xxSomeTimerxx here.  As I mentioned to the in raid gang last night, and most of you know me hanging around the Tower or off on my own, I'd be happy to be a 6th on either Thursday nite runs or the Friday nites if a 6th is needed.  While I'm still a newb and would need a carry for a bit in HM, Soul would hopefully vouch for me that I wouldn't slow you all down much.  Just need more practice and familiarity.  If anyone's wondering why my Bungie tag is RedditDads, when I loaded Destiny the first week in January this year, I looked over the Destiny page here and due to my late arrival into the game, the RDADS were a bit more active with new scrubs.  However my heart's always been with the 2O2P gang and you have a great group of guys who I see online and hang with!  So big thanks

Jim

Played some Salvage last night. Holy hell I'm never going to get that achievement. We were getting Trials raped last night.

Was it just you, or a full fireteam? That is not encouraging. We may be I trouble if the noob ratio has dropped too much. Guess we can try when next trials hits, as Tabasco suggests.

Just wait for Trials to start back and then go for the cheevo. Hopefully all of the tryhards will be in Trials.

It's 3-vs-3 It was not pretty. I'm decent at Crucible but yeah, die-hards rule it.

Waiting until Trials is definitely a good idea.

Not very excited for the new content. Looks like Taken are still going to be around instead of moving forward with the story. Oh sure I'll play it, but it just seems lazy on Bungie's behalf. Also everyone will probably be rocking the Taken armor so again everyone will look the same.

I'll be trying to stay with my armour of choice. It's worked so far. I don't want to join the huge crowd of taken-in Taken.

The Taken armour is cool looking though.

So I did some more looking, it's actually a Taken Shader and the picture is PoE gear. so looks like maybe they are going to bring that back. Interesting, now starting to get a little excited.

Hope, hope, hoping for updated Strikes, Raids, and PoE with appropriate Mission Level and loot.  Imagine if they brought more yr1 gear and raid equipment up to the highest light levels!

So far we know we're getting a new Strike...

Not expecting much more in the way of updates to the raids or PoE, except maybe some challenge modes added a la KF (total speculation on my part)? It would be nice to see some of the Y1 stuff become usable again. Guess we'll know soon enough what "more" means.

Hey, it was a great night. AARP, Bluestar and I completed parts of AARP's sword quest, finished Blue's Solar Exotic sword quest and then we finished my Arc Exotic sword quest.

We picked a few exotic engrams along the way too.  :)

Saw you guys on.  Looks like quite a lot got done!  Hammer, Darkman, and I "tried" some Court then went Ghost hunting on the Moon.  There were 4 to be picked up (I already had one), 2 at the end of the Phogoth strike (ridiculous jumps) and 2 around the 2nd bridge in Croata's End (we used the story, not the raid to get to them).

Btw, we shrugged off the enemies at Phogoth.  Took out a few adds and completely ignored Phogoth while we did the jumps (he was still chained).  After getting the Ghosts, we proceeded to take out Phogoth in about a minute or so.  A lot different than the first time this strike was attempted!! (Shrieker is up LOL).

Are these ghosts in addition to the ones mentioned in the Destination UI?

OOPs. I answered my own question by visiting destiny ghost hunter

Not sure what is in Destination UI.  I was using Destiny Ghost Hunter.

OOPS^2.  Looks like you answered your own question while I was drafting the answer to your question.

I miss the old strikes. I hope the April update will give us back some of our favorite stomping grounds.

So the streaming party chat to Twitch only recorded my voice last night. I'm guessing everyone in the party has to enable this option if they want to share their audio. Would like to play around with this some tonight.

Anyone got a good strategy for taking down Thalnor (baby Croata) in the Court?  Been trying the last few days to take him down to get that last fragment with help from Deep but we keep getting our asses handed to us.
