The video I posted earlier will be a good guiding point as to how to beat the Templar.

This is the spot on top of the pillar opposite the spirit bloom cave. We never tried that last night, though we did talk about trying it. I think using the area right where we drop from up top should work just fine. Well give that a try Thursday.

So I just completed the Nightfall with 2 people. Only 1 of us (not me) got any rewards. I literally got nothing after completing it.

That sux. I ran through it on one character this morning with Jon and one of his contacts. That had to be the easiest and quickest nightfall I've ever run. VoC and Ice Breaker rule!

RNGesus continues to bless me this week, as I got Patience and Time out of it.

Just as long as you run through them again with me when I get back!

After doing all available bounties on both warlocks this morning, along with weekly/daily/nightfall on one, I've got my boots fully leveled, and my helmet should also be fully leveled once I turn in the 8 completed bounties I hadn't dropped off yet. So, that should put me at 30 for Thursday! Now, depending on the levels of others, I may use my 29 Titan in hopes to get a chest piece. If others need gear to get to 30, I'll go with a 30 warlock.

I'm also about 1-2 circles away from fully upgrading my Fatebringer. I really like this gun.

Oh, and my missing weapon from Atheon last night was actually the speeder. I found it in my inventory this morning.

I know I won't have my Warlock at 30 yet come Thursday so I'm taking my Hunter out instead because she's jealous, stuck at 29

Plan of attack for this evening. Finish both Dailies, and both Nightfalls. Hopefully have some spare time to take on a Weekly or two.

[Bailey05]

looking for one for raid right now on normal. Anyone interested?

[varmintx]

I'll be doing the Nightfall in a little bit if anyone wants to join.

Edit: Soloing it was pretty much a cake walk.

[edge]

Anyone looking to run nightfall and weekly tonight at 6:30 CST?

[G1ggs]

Sorry to all in that Raid then. First Raid I've done and I get a power cut at the templar!!!!!

Anybody notice that the Hive are now appearing in the Steppes of Earth where you first spawn for patrols? Not only that, one of the knights has the Sword of Crota which you can take from him.

You can take the Sword and keep it? Like in your inventory? Or does it disappear?

You can't keep it. But you can learn to fight with it, and your friends will appreciate that at the same time you will be learning how to fight with the relic shield in the Vault of Glass.

I can see that being a part of the new raid as well...

Jafo: thanks for posting the Nightfall rotation pie chart thingamabobber. That's awesome.


Harlock and Xboxbydegress: regarding the blade that you and many others are seeing on earth and the moon now...

My head is spinning trying to wrap my head around all the new content/updates that is being rolled out now and next week. This quote comes to mind:

Looks like I'll have to finish the Thorn bounty by doing more Crucible....uggghh

I spent all night Saturday doing that (and bad juju at the same time) and it was brutal. i did have the atheons epilogue so that made it a lot easier, but still....it sucked. 3V3 seemed to be the easiest, if you can get a good team that sticks together you win every time, the problem is everyone runs around solo and gets killed. Every good game I had was followed up by a bad one, luckily you get 5 points for a kill and only lose 2 for a death, but assists do not play a part in it.

plus, when you finish that you have a special run on the summoning pits that's pretty tough too.

[edge]

If you think Crucible is brutal, try Iron Banner, arg, that was a grind. Rewards only applied to wins. You could go for a few games without winning and at least get a redeemable medallion, but still.

What makes it worse, the gauntlets I wanted to get me to 30, was for nothing lol, as I got gauntlets in the VoG anyway. I did get Jolder's Hammer and some ok'ish fusion rifles so it was cool, but the grind was horrible.

Control is different to the domination gametype I play in CoD, in Control, you can hold 2 of the 3 flags, and still lose because you are being outslayed. Iron Banner was/is Control only

Hey Xboxbydegrees, I was going to add you on PS4, but your screen name doesn't come up on there. Are you sure it's StitchSunshine??

Harlock added me earlier. I just tried to add you and it said you don't exist. Maybe the search is down?

That's really weird. I tried on my phone as well, using the app. The search function is working just fine. Very odd.

You two are banned from playing together.
