Anybody wants to do the raid?
It's the only piece of content left that's somewhat interesting to me.
Guided games were supposed to help matchmake people for the raid, but its implementation has been weak (i.e. what is it even doing other than trying to matchmake randomly). A clan with an active Bungie.net chat (or even better, Discord) is your best bet. Even then a newbie raid is hard to organize. The only saving this is that you get a clan engram for doing the raid, so there's some weak incentive to actually complete the raid.I'm actually tempted to do the Raid myself. The only things I have left are the weapon forge item collection quests and those are unbelievably tedious. The fact that you can't choose your strike is bothersome. Not sure how many there are, but it seems like I keep playing the same 3.
lolWifey and I have been logging in to collect the welfare engrams from the clan
Same for me. My clan still shows 61 people still in the clan, but there's never anyone on but me, and I just log on to farm the 2 engrams each week.With "powerful" gear having so few options, the clan stuff is one of the only consistent ways to get anything worthwhile over level 310.
I tend to just do the weekly major milestone and the clan XP and that's that.
I want to keep playing (I do like the gunplay for some reason), so I might be ready to finally give the Crucible a shot. Seems that's the only way I'll ever collect enough of those Prophecy Tablet collectibles, too. No clue what the other weapons are like, but that first Scout Rifle is the bomb.com
I love the multiplayer in this game. the first Iron Banner got me hooked and i haven't looked back. it's just the right combination of strategy and casual play for me.
I'm absolutely convinced they loosened up loot drops with the last update. Either that or I shattered some sort of soft cap around level 315.
I played for all of 15 minutes last night and everything that dropped (4 items/engrams) was either strong enough to boost my gear or was a masterwork.
I won't have any more time to play this week, but I'm going to give the Crucible a shot next week. Are there free-for-all modes where you're just killing everything or is it entirely team-based?

They have been bleeding players and more recently youtubers have been abandoning the game (some going back to destiny).
Maybe they changed the drop tables to stop the bleed.
Big question is, what do you have to look forward to in this game, and is it worth it?
Well that sucks, but I continue to think that somewhere there is a hardware or other setup problem with your computer. Can you run prime95 or other typical stress tests successfully for hours at a time? Motherboard and/or cpu intermittent faults can be very difficult to troubleshoot before they become a complete failure. If I were you, I'd run every stress test I could to test mobo/cpu/ram/gpu, trying my best to isolate the possible faulty component.So small update, bought a new PSU 850 w this time, game still crashes in less then 10 min so that's definitelly not it.
I'm completely out of ideas now.
Reminds me of an issue I had years ago where I replaced literally every part in my PC (luckily with spares) only to discover the issue was with the power cable.
The Destiny valentine's event isn't too bad so far. The Sparrow I got has a speed of 160 and it summons almost instantly. Not sure if they made some tiny tweaks, but I've gotten a couple new public events to show up, too. For instance, the DMZ Outskirts area now has several public events, not just that same 'ol Servitor fight...which for the record is BY FAR the hardest of those damn public events IMO. Completing that one as a Heroic by yourself is incredibly tough and I swear people steer clear of it, too.

I ran prime 95 for about 30 mins, CPU got to over 100° so I shut it down, did not crash though, did thermal throttle, CPU was pulling over 300 watt according to hwinfo64, most I seen b4 was a good 180 watt, toasty
That is pretty damn hot. Perhaps it is a thermal issue with your processor. Personally, I'd delid that badboy 7820x and throw some thermal grizzly kryonaut on instead of the Intel toothpaste. Rockit cool's tool makes delidding the socket 2066 processors very easy.
Another faction rally is active right now. I remember at least a few decent items showing up last time. If nothing else, the game showers those tokens down on you like rain so you'll have plenty of legendary items to break down. I went with Dead Orbit this time...for no particular reason. Feels like the New Monarchy get a ton people to join because it's the last one most people talk to. It'll be interesting to see if they win again. If so, it's probably something Bungie should look at.
I know the game is mostly random, but anyone know of a good way to get a specific weapon ornament? I've been hoping to nab a Sunshot ornament since the first week of release. It was in the store once, but it was something like 1200 bright dust...which I wasn't able to nab that week.
For the first time, I feel like the game might be in a death spiral if they don't do something new soon. I dismissed some of the chatter before, but over this weekend it's like the game was straight up abandoned. It's right in the middle of a faction event, too. Not a good sign. The fact that the gear they grant isn't truly unique probably isn't helping. They pushed back the updates to exotic weapons as well. Bungie probably needs to do something sooner than later.

just luck of the draw, or like you said if it happens to appear in the eververse store. this is still a grind but using the fireteam medallions increases your rate of xp gain. that'll increases how fast you receive bright engrams which is where weapon ornaments usually come from. it's personal taste but i have the sunshot ornament and i prefer the default look better.
