P.S. Those of you who I played a poo poo ton of Destiny with that constantly change their gamer tags - you might need to remind me who you are.

Edit - Does someone want to remind me how to embed images? This apparently doesn't work.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
For passing gear on down to any alts I create, am I right in thinking that because it's relatively easy to get to level 40, I should only really start storing gear at the upper 300 levels?

I.e. say I get up to 391 with my first character, rather than just dismantling any lower level gear that drops at like 385 or whatever, I should bank it?

Or when you get to 400, do you pretty much just keep getting 400 gear from strikes and whatnot that you can just pass on directly anyway?

I'd like input on this. I'm at around 350 and need to know if the gear I'm wearing has an effect on the drops. Because if so I'm never doing a Gunsmith quest again.

Once you get to 400, all strike exclusive gear/exotics/crucible drops etc will be 400.

Yes, your light level effects the light level of the gear you pick up. In SIVA heroic strikes, blues can go up to 385.

Just FYI, Iron Banner starts today. Even if you don't like PvP, the game basically shits high level gear at you which makes for easy power leveling.

Thanks man. How much light is worth spending mats for infusing? 351 to 353 worth it or should I wait?

Also before my break I had only missed two Iron Banners. We gonna ball.

If you're only trying to level up one character, I would just infuse whenever it results in a bigger number. Once you get one character to 400 getting the other two up to that becomes a joke.

Hey goons, (repost from BF1 thread)

Resident bad gamer here. (Xbone Tag - OldCaptainLog)You might now me as the guy with an irritating parrot or the irritating guy with a parrot if you played XBONE destiny or BF3 for 360. Well, the parrots died and I'm still here bored. Let's play!

Also, if I haven't played with you a bunch please send a message with a friend request. The lack of being able to make groups (to my knowledge) means I loose track of some of my best buds at times. Also my memory is a little hosed.

P. S. I think I received multiple slack invites but my spam filter caught them. Could someone give me a heads up if they send one over?

Thunderlord has bad stability if you don't take perfect balance but it was never clearly bugged like the others.

I think the theory is that all three were in TTK and Thunder being the only one released, it got fixed but they neglected touching the other two.

Yes, but what happens inside the matches doesn't really matter so long as you complete the bounties. You get a shitton of drops which is the real reason to play.

Yes but you likely have a special power: crispy matchmaking. Find a good krew that's skilled and party up and play slow as hell.

You'll wanna blow through those, even past the one that unlocks the Iron Temple social space. Finishing the campaign unlocks the raid and the plaguelands patrol area, which is where Archon's forge, one of the approximately three ways to get max level artifacts and the only one that's convenient.
