Yup, Iron Banner was located inside that section.

Ya they did. It shows up as clan, they are clanmates, everything. Doesn't explain why it says that they haven't played destiny yet.

3-4 hours of what though? I swear to God if an hour of that is bullet sponge bosses I'm done with this game. That's one of the biggest things that bothers me about this game.

im not even getting rewards from playing in co-op.

Just saw that it's only available on weekends. I had a bounty too, and there's a trophy for 20 Salvage captures also.

And this is just earth, so I'm sure there is more on the other planets.

Yeah, there are a few dead ends that as soon as you get to them, the name of the area changes - kind of a giveaway that there is content there to come.

I have to look closer, but I had felt the same way, but now I'm wondering if I've been goofing up the energy shields and not realizing how much attacking with the right energy type helps.

Orange shields (like wizards) - use solar
Purple shield - use void
Blue shields - use arc

There is a damage penalty to using the wrong type or kinetic. I was doing one strike where it felt like the psions were bullet sponges, but I have no idea if I was atacking their shields with the right energy when they came up.

It was plastered all over the web that Raids opened tomorrow and salvage was going on over the weekend. I'm assuming you grabbed the bounty over the weekend but didn't complete it?

At this point you just have to decide if you want to tie up the slot until next weekend (if they do salvage again) if you were already pretty far into it or abandon it and grab it again next time salvage comes up.

The Salvage PVP was only for this last weekend I did complete the bounty it was pretty fun.

[Tony208]

I grabbed the salvage bounty today after completing every bounty yesterday. Dropped it immediately.

And that's fine if it was easier to switch weapons in the same class. Why do I have a d-pad that uses stupid emotes from 1990 when I could use it as a modifier between 3 energy types between the 3 weapon classes? No way is it smart to enter the pause screen to sub out a void pulse rifle for an arc pulse rifle. We should be able to do that on the fly. Or have a modifier on each weapon so we don't need three separate pulse rifles.

It's in the Target ad. I've seen it sold at places like the Smithsonian (without the Destiny tie-in of course). I've told by people in the know that it's pretty gross.

Finally reached level 20 today with my Warlock.

I bought that. It was like a special issue and came out a couple weeks ago.

Bungie just updated their Blog:

Let the Raiding Begin

“Beneath Venus, evil stirs.”

The Director is light on details for the Raid in Destiny. This is by design. The most elaborate mission ever created by Bungie is a mystery as much as it is a challenge – a puzzle and a gauntlet. The race to see who can be first to solve it - with their cunning and their skill - is about to begin.

At 2:00 AM Pacific on Tuesday, September 16th, the Raid will accept challengers in Destiny. That’s 9:00 AM GMT.

Become Legend.
Not everyone will qualify. Among those who do, not everyone will succeed. To even approach this trial of teamwork and combat, the Guardians in your Fireteam will need to be Level 26.

Gear up. Team up.
Bring with you a team that has made the commitment to work together. Configure your loadouts so that you are powerful together in a variety of ways. Communicate with each other. The Raid will demand that you operate as a team. Cooperation is the key to your success.

Follow the Leader.
It’s very likely that you will not finish the Raid in one sitting. Your Fireteam leader is crucial to your eventual potential success. Your progress will be saved for one week. To resume your mission where you left off, you’ll need to follow the same Fireteam leader back into battle.

Enjoy the View.
There are those among you who are certain that they will be first. They have accepted our dare with a pledge to broadcast their first attempt. If you’re not yet prepared to undertake this rite of passage, you’re welcome to watch as they venture into the hostile unknown.

Do you think you and your friends can beat these intrepid raiding parties to the finish line? Bungie will be watching. And, we’ll celebrate the fastest Fireteam from the Tower.

Of course, once you have completed the Raid, we’ll invite you to try it on hard. That’s the true experience.

Be brave.

So if right after the bars close on my side of the coast, and if I happened to be level 26 I could start playing raids right away....

Just hit 20 today, so I don't know how long it will take me to hit 26.

The gun play in this game is just so damn satisfying. Yes things can get repetitive at times, but when the game is so fun to play ... I don't even care.

I'm at level 17 or 18... should get to 20 soon. Got one more mission on Venus then off to mars as far as the story goes.

Love doing Strikes. So satisfying.

The mechanics are great ans intuitive (well, after I swapped the controls to emulate the PS3 triggers). The aiming is awesome, not easy or hard, but it feels balanced.

I need to work on aiming my Nova Bombs and grenades better though.

Anybody doing the Sunsinger Sub-class? I've not seen the advantage of Radiance, especially if you've just used your grenade.
