I'm sure once the HM raid is out no one will want to do NM raids unless it's as a Sherpa. I'll miss you NM raid, I enjoyed you a lot.

Not necessarily. It depends on if the loot works like KF where it drops both normal and hard mode or if it's like Crota where you have normal mode only loot.

I'm not sure if normal has anything worth going back for. I guess the scout and auto rifle? I didn't really like either of them but they're pretty alright. You'll probably also get people doing normal for monitor runs.

I'm just afraid of having Outbreak Prime being required for HM and not being able to get a NM raid together to complete the quest. But also mainly because now that most people are used to NM it's a lot of laid back fun with the right group instead of being super strict with the mechanics and screwups.

I just hope HM has an upgraded genesis chain with a 60 round magazine because the 30 round mag is the only downside to the one I have.

I just hope I can get the ship and shaders eventually, that's basically the main thing I enjoy earning in Destiny.

I swear it was like three months before I got something other than the starter ship (I started playing in January) and now I have so many of them and 99% of them are incredibly ugly, garish monstrosities. Especially the Crucible ones.

Ornaments are loving stupid because the dust requirements are stupid scummy money grubbing bullshit.

Applied two ornaments to a gun? You need to use a dust every time you want to change the look. :downs:

The Iron lord stuff is even worse once you do the math on them.

What? Once you've activated an ornament you can deactivate and reactivate any time you want without penalty.

I think the trials stuff is the only place where it's egregious. Raid gear can straight up be rerolled, and with the iron lord gear it's a pain in the rear end but you can keep grabbing new ones from packages until you get your perfect roll. The only thing stopping you is how soul-crushing it would be, and how many legendary marks/motes you have to burn.

No, I don't see anyone run CE anymore unless it's for Sherpas or nolstalgias sake, or I'd still be attempting to get nechrochasm. VoG took a quest to get it active again.

Edit: This aint a hill I want to die on so I'll stop there. I'm just really lazy and dumb and bad, is all.

LFG, VoG is running constantly. CE is a different story with far fewer runs and many of them being very loving bad players wanting to get impossibly carried to Flawless Raider.

One other thing I noticed:

Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, Crucible, and Strike Hoards will now provide drops up to 400 Light
So regular crucible can give you 400 light items. Nice

ppl who are going for World First at 2pm are already above 385, it's not going to make a big difference for them

And if you're not going for world first, who gives a poo poo if you spend 15 minutes after 2pm to decrypt your engrams and poo poo

I banked some engrams, but they're not decoding higher than 365 for legendaries; I check for an update before & after too, am I missing something?

Exotics were decoding 385 & 386 respectively on a 385 character.
