Should I buy this and jump back in Men? Is it worth it? There's not much else out there at the moment and I need a change - I've been away long enough from Destiny for it to feel good again. Played (without ROI) for a couple of nights. Was fun again. I'm way down the light level - all 3 toons hovering around 310.

Played (without ROI) for a couple of nights. Was fun again. I'm way down the light level - all 3 toons hovering around 310. Depends on 3 factors 1. How much time are you willing to commit to it? There will some time you'll need to spend (albeit that you can transfer infusion gear between characters) 2. On the horizon, are there any other games that you are looking at? If say, you want to get into CoD and you'll be doing that Touch Football, you might want to wait for Destiny 2 (although there are rumors it might be pushed back to 2018) 3. If Destiny 2 is a character wipe, are you willing to power level your characters up 90 LL, only to start over again? I mean, don't get me wrong... i love having more Den Bros on the PS4 to play with but it all depends on you bro. But if you need help, I'll provide overwatch support so the big bad baddies don't spill your tea and steal your crumpets

D2 character wipe?? Wtf? For real? I thought my guys and girls were to be with me for 10 years? I'm not buying cod again. Not unless I can get cod 4 as stand alone.

If done correctly, it could be the best thing that happened to the game. It'd eliminate the power creep, give people the chance to remake their character, and do new things. Take me for example; my 3 characters were made in approx 1 minute and I chose to make 3 warlocks to reduce any grind. Would I delete any of them to make a titan or a hunter right now... fuck no. Would I make a hunter or titan if D2 started things fresh... definitely maybe

Buzzed through the story mission with my Titan. Enjoyed it too. Started @305 LL and now sitting @325. I'll do some farming for mats and donate to the factions for some better gear.
Not sure I understand the 'attuned' thing yet so I'll get googling.

Xur's at the Tower bar
LEGACY ENGRAM Helmet Engram Maximum light : 170 29 SC (overpriced)
Immolation Fists Titan Gauntlets 72 Strength 13 SC
Skyburners Annex Hunter Helmet 40 Intellect // 44 Discipline 13 SC
THE STAG Warlock Helmet 40 Discipline // 40 Strength 13 SC
Hawkmoon Hand Cannon
EDIT1: FYI: The Stag is 4 points off a max roll. EDIT2: FYI: The Stag could be 40 points above a perfect roll and still be a sack of shit that no warlock should ever wear. EDIT3: FYI: Xur could sell the stag for 1 or 3 SC and you still shouldn't buy it because it is probably the worst warlock exotic out there. EDIT4: FYI: Datto was being polite when he called it "one of the weaker warlock exotics" It looks cool; that's it

Well, it means I can start earning more Strange Coins and Motes of Light ready for when the next level cap increase arrives since faction ranks are only good for weapons mostly now.

D2 character wipe?? Wtf? For real? I thought my guys and girls were to be with me for 10 years? I'm not buying cod again. Not unless I can get cod 4 as stand alone. Bungie have said a lot of things that should be taken with a pinch of salt, like having no control over Xur and other nonsense. My main issue is, if Destiny 2 is starting over from scratch, then Destiny 1 should be left 'as is' like your annual releases of Call of Duty instead of each DLC acting as an overlay of the previous edition. The reason being is that Rise of Iron left behind legacy consoles without major improvements and I thought the reason why legacy consoles were dropped were to make these improvements? So for ten years we will still have three player strikes, six player 'raids', and small maps in the Crucible because everything is either threes, or sixes. Maps like First Light and Bastion would have been much better as 9v9. No point in forcing larger maps for 6v6 because the players will just dropout saying it's too big, then favour the small maps, then go full stupid by getting salty over being killed by shotguns in those smaller maps. Just waiting for the Bungie fanboys on r/DTG to say how awesome a wipe would be because they can change the looks on their character even though 'ancient' games like Borderlands 2 allow you far easier and broader customisations.

Not sure I understand the 'attuned' thing yet so I'll get googling. the new artifacts? You run to the room behind the lady that gave it to you, and you light (atune) up their statue. You can pass that artifact to an alt, but each alt has to attune it too

I did the Nightfall with a pug who had 2 guys who were trying to carry their friend and shit just kept happening.
Easy peasy going to the bosses... almost got them both but we missed an ad and then Morters McDickface nuked us.
Second time, easy peasy.
who we were: max disc sunsinger with sunbreakers (le moi), bubble bro with weapons and glasshouse (whatever helm and perks makes your bubble last longer), and a gunslinger with a severely underleveled celestial nighthawk.
What we did
Step 1: Enter the room, and dedicate two people to standing on the two pillars as you enter. Those two people will also be responsible for doors of ads on their side. In this case, I was on left, the hunter was on the left, and the titan stood in the hill cheese spot in the front left of the room
Step 2: Once we were on top of our pillars, the titan started us off and kited Fisty McDickface. Meanwhile, I threw solar grenades to burn him down (as did others)
Step 3: Fisty Foxtrots off, and we let him. The adds come. 2 solar grenades were plenty to kill them before they entered. The Hunter just used a solar sniper and just took them down... no sense wasting gjallie rounds
Step 4: Mortars McDickface comes out, we all run to the cheese spot with the hunter, repeating the strategy of grenading him down to nothings.
Step 5: MMcD leaves, and we repeat the add process, but this time, the whole team clearing the right side, then the left with snipers. Again, gjallie free if possible, but ready if needed
Step 6: Hell breaks loose: Titan pops bubble... Hunter pops super and takes out Fisty asap, with grenade and other help from me and titan, popping in and out of the weapons bubble.
Step 7: Grenade and gjallie and just throw the solar NOPE sink at the last remaining brother. I killed myself at the end, because just as I was about to fire a gjallie, his shield popped right in front of me.
My reward... dun dun daaaaa: 20 strange coins.
Tl;DR: that evil nightfall... so long as you're coordinated and smart... is actually easyish

I don't know if it was me, if I was just lucky, or what was going on... but I had 3/4/5 green SIVA offerings and I found 1 guy in the forge to do some work with. I used all my greens, but SIVA offerings were dropping like mad for me. I dunno if it was luck or it was because I killed a lot of yellow bar enemies or what it was, but it was fun bounty wise.
Got to 390 because of it

Changes to SD economy www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/216171030Some changes are coming to Eververse and you'll see these begin to roll out in small steps, beginning with an upcoming patch. We are currently working on several changes to the Silver Dust economy to improve the player experience. We want to ensure that players who are completing Rise of Iron’s pinnacle challenges feel rewarded for their success. With this patch Trials, Wrath of the Machine, and Iron Lord Armor Ornaments will no longer require Silver Dust to apply. The Silver Dust requirement for applying Exotic Weapon Ornaments will remain, as the Silver Dust required for application is provided by the Radiant Treasure box. Year 1 and Year 2 Iron Banner armor found in Dusty Iron Engrams and on activity completion of Iron Banner matches was incorrectly dismantling into Legendary Marks. With the patch, these items, when dismantled, will now yield 1 Silver Dust. These changes are being made to promote a positive player experience as well as accommodate future changes and balances to the Eververse and Silver Dust economy which we will reveal in our winter release.

Got a 390 TDYK from Zavela - Sureshot, Spray and Play, Extended Mag/Smallbore, and Grenadier. Collector's item, my second TDYK now.
Edit: forgot about the 390 Badger CCL I got before that - Focus Lens FLS2/Ranged Lens RLS3/Truesight IS, Life Support, AP Rounds/HL Stock/Smallbore, and Hidden Hand.

Talking of scout rifles. I can't see any reason, so far, to not keep infusing my fav to stay useful. Anything purple better than this to keep an eye out for?

I use the last vendor roll of the Finnala's Peril as it has Explosive Rounds and Reactive Reload, making one-shotting shanks easy. I did try Hung Jury once but found its damage output lacking, but I was underlevelled back then so that will not help. Ammo can be an issue for scout rifles and hand cannons I find, so I will be using my Hawksaw next week (Perfect Balance, Smallbore, and Hidden Hand).

The original vendor Hung Jury is still one of the best overall PvE guns there is IMO. It's great in almost every situation. I do switch to a hand cannon though when one-shotting adds is a priority (i.e. Aksis phase 2 shanks).

Agreed with hebbnh hung jury is still a pretty decent gun. But there are a lot of comparable good weapons. Keep it around if you still enjoy it, but leave it if you want something new. The raid weapons are pretty decent (at least some of them, including the scout). For the raid, a scout for the first part and a handcannon for the last part are best imho. I honestly think hung jury is over rated. Nodoby needs full stability. I have always prefered other scouts with comparable perks. Anyhow, a LOT of weapons are viable, especially if you balance the range with your secondary/heavy (like scout + shotgun or hand cannon + sniper + sword. tldr; tooros do you still like using the same gun?

If you like it tooros, keep using it. 2 more nightfalls, 2 more 395 Super Good Advices. Oh, and YIL: if you want to the do the quest line in the book, regarding doing 10 RoI story missions on Hard, wait for the timer to take you to orbit and don't be impatient. This way, when you actually do 10 of them, it'll count for 10... and not only the 5 you waited for the timer on. Yea... ... yea...

Any particular hand cannon you recommend? Palindrome for PvP, but what about PvE? Should I be looking for a Fatebringer clone, perks wise? Outlaw, Firefly?
I've still been sticking with the Hung Jury with no regrets, so far. But having a strong alternative seems wise. I do miss my Fatebringer...

You can hope for a Arc-free Imago Loop with a Fatebringer roll.... it's as fatebringer as you're gonna get in year 2/3

The Palindrome is great for PvP. Works well enough for PvE as well in my experience.
