It was a lot easier for me than last weeks was. I still hate it. I finally retired my Cerberus +1 yesterday, got go figure with outlaw and rampage and also got riskrunner so thats what I'm rolling with now. Seem to be stuck at 599 LL
Lol. This week's though isn't bad, just take your time. No rush unless you're going for the time trial triumph.
Imo I have the hardest time with Hunter jumping, especially without Stomp-EEs.

I like Go Figure, but I can't seem to get one with decent perks on it. I've got one now that at least has Rampage, but it also has "Firmly Planted" which is nearly useless.
Re: The Crucible this weekend and Iron Banner.
Asked one of my die hard Destiny junkie friends about this since I don't want to spend a ton of time in there and he said this:
I did notice the valor going up nice and quick. I guess even for Crucible haters this is the time to come in there even if you just milk quickplay.

I'm awful at pvp, but I generally enjoy it. Mayhem was a blast, IB is a good change of pace. My Titan finally broke 600 LL and is sitting at 606 now (i think) My hunter at 549 and a baby warlock at 77. Getting into a clan helped my LL more than anything, the weekly rewards went a long way on my titan.
He's not kidding. I took every Crucible and Iron Banner bounty (even though I know I won't get all of them by a mile)...and started working over IB. I got lucky. It works.

Anyone know if the Hard OCP clan is still active or if the admin still plays?
To my knowledge, no. It was shaping up to be promising.. then Forsaken dropped, and everything kinda stopped. I left shortly thereafter.

I finally unlocked the dreaming city, Ll is going up slowy but steadily going to be focusing a bit more on that.

Guys, how does the game feels having only 3 classes? It seems too low considering it's an MMO.

It's not that "massive", + you have subclasses but group content is made for smaller groups like 3-4 up to 6 I think for raids.
Man, i have too much to do as it is keeping all three classes up to date, I don't need any more!
Another note.. Scourge run 5 down, still no Threat Level of any kind.
I'll keep you all updated...

I'm not thinking about group content, I'm thinking about player choices. I have played this game on PS4 and subclasses don't change much.
I want to get in but I'm debating between playing Destiny 2 or newest Borderlands.

I don't consider it an MMO. To me it has been a mostly single player FPS with some multiplayer options here and there. I played it as a single player game up until a few weeks ago. I didnt need a "group" until after I finished all of the campaigns.

Well.. seems I am in a guild or clan now. Got a random invite while plinking through the list of Barrons in the Tangled Shore.. Also it seems I need to get a headset so I can do 'raids' or what not. Hmm. Not sure if I am that committed.
Man, the Raids are the best part of Destiny!
Its not really an MMO. Its an FPS shooter with some MMO features and aspects to it.
I finally finished "Cayde's Will" to get the Ace of Spades. It was worth it, but it was a pain in the ass. Precision kills with hand cannons in PvP is pretty difficult when you often find yourself going up against people that have far more experience with the game, all the best weapons, coordinated teams, and the best armor bonuses.

Before I go off to snag a headset at WurstBuy - is there any major difference in quality from a $40 headset as compared to $150?
In PvP (hell even in PvE but taking up the exotic slot sucks) that's the best hand cannon in the game so enjoy!
It's so far ahead of the other hand cannons I've tried that I can believe it.
Midnight Coup is a close second but it's a Leviathan raid only drop and static rolls (Outlaw/Rampage). Legendary though so your exotic slot is free.
It was a PITA but I adore the Ace of Spades. It's easily one of my favorite weapons in the entire game.
I have to plug a tricked out, Masterworks Better Devils that I've had for about a year. That thing isn't any slouch as a strong second, either.
(You can get Better Devils on Crucible Quickplay runs if you want. Very solid)I would go with a Sennheiser. The $40 cans generally have bad mics.

I actually used Better Devil's to complete the Ace of Spades quest.
So did I!
Yeah the Y1 static roll Better Devils carried me though all of Y1, i don't think it ever left my primary slot.

I just recently started putting effort into the ace of spades quest
Hit 650 on my Titan character in Destiny 2 while playing solo and fairly casually with only one character. It's not difficult to hit max light level, it will also be even easier if you're in a raid group or share loot with multiple characters.
I am disappointed with the black armory content though:
(1) The forges should have been like the Blind Well, in that anyone can just walk in and join up without the need for multiple matchmaking loading screens.
(2) The questlines for unlocking the forges as well as forging weapons seem unnecessarily convoluted to the point of being not fun, rather just ignore them
(3) A lot of pointless "kill X amount of specific enemy types with precision hits/multikills with Y weapon" type quests, that feel less like a quest and more of filler chores
(4) Timed activities where you're racing against a clock are annoying unless implemented very well, would have preferred another mechanic for the forges rather than simply being on timers
(5) As we get higher and higher light level the enemy/player scaling gets more and more noticeable. A 600+ LL character should be able to walk into a room of level 200 mobs and destroy them without any challenge, ie feel powerful, as with any other RPG. No, in this game your character get scaled to the enemies so the feeling of character growth is severely neutered.
BA also exposes some issues with the core game that casual players didn't need to deal with before (such as the RNG behind heavy ammo drops or quests/bounties taking up inventory space) - but there most likely won't be changes to the base game until Destiny 3.
