It is quite odd how the people who don't have the shield emblems think some other inferior yet hard to acquire emblem is the best.

Nothing's more exclusive than something you can't obtain for any reason anymore.

Actually it turns out that the lamest thing you can do is care about your dumb rare emblem.

Thanks for playing.

Nope fashion is the only thing to do in this game, and having the most exclusive fashion items makes you the best.

In a shocking turn of events, bros with sweet rear end emblems think emblems are cool and good and hos without them think they are lame and bad.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.

Even including the 100 marks per week from the new story mission playlist?

You should get a steady stream of gear up to 385 by playing heroic strikes, and that's more than high enough for an experienced player to do a non-challenge 390 raid run.

Raid gear drops at up to 400 now.

They modified it a little for Age of Triumph, you can get up to 385 from standard SIVA playlist, and up to 390 from heroic SIVA playlist. You can get AOT raid ready just through heroic strikes.
As somebody who quit during TTK and came back for AOT, the archon forge has been the best gearing method for me personally, it has dropped armor pieces, ghosts and relics all the way up to 400 for me. I'm probably misremembering but I'm pretty sure the armor drops I've seen from the forge doesn't drop anywhere else either (not that I've seen).

It really is, I hope they keep it for Destiny 2! It's nice having the feedback pop up next to your crosshairs. I like how it's team-wide too.

That is correct, same with weapons. It's the only place to get Saladin's Vigil, for example.

Yeah, enemies moving against each other is a proper firefight.

Not the limp dicked "four enemies come out of the door every time you kill the previous four" archon's forge "firefight."

Trust bungie to already have a solution figured out and then never make use of it.

King's fall was a giant pile of poo poo that it literally killed this lovely loving game that I've bought 4 loving times, gently caress that entire raid, its like they where pissy that people could solo Crota and some of the bosses so they went "lets make a raid with nothing but instant wipe mechanics, NOBODY gently caress UP OR ITS A TEAM WIPE EITHER", unless its been seriously re-tooled I'm just gonna pretend its not there when it comes up.

Hopefully Destiny is more VoG and Wrath of The Machine than lovely rear end King's Fall.

I don't disagree but it can be fun with a good strong group as underlying all the choreography is some pretty good shooting of poo poo.

KF is fun when no one in your group is lfg. My group's done it like 100 times so it'll be a nice bit of nostalgia revisiting it tomorrow.

Only did KF 3 times. First time was a nightmare but 2 and 3 were fun when everyone was 335. But at its best it's fun once or twice a month. It's not something I would want to run every week like VoG or even CE

No, real firefight was ODST Firefight. 1) It was possible to go on forever and 2) the difficulty ramped up over time until it was gently caress off hard.

Every firefight since then has been limp garbage.

KF is fine and is actually fun with not retards.

Pro tips for people having trouble with KF
- The jump button is A/X. Most bads forget this. It's pretty ace to use.
- Shooting adds with the guns you have makes them not shoot you anymore. You have 3 of them even.
