I know a couple of guys that want to run VoG on Saturday, but I don't know if they can be on that early.

My brother hit level 20 so if we can get him some playtime he will come up in levels quickly. (Must help him grind Vanguard rep and marks!)
There's also a guy here at work that we both know that is probably getting Destiny soon. Hopefully we can bring him up and with our powers combined maybe we'll have a better shot at getting a crew together sometime in the future.

Looks like Xur has much on offer this time... I need some friggin coins! Looking for bros that would be willing to run weekly on Hard so it's not a long solo slog. I've done it before, but the boss fight was a hell of a grind. (Though I am better armed this time...) Still I think it would be faster with a fireteam. I'd also like to see if anyone would be willing to sherpa my Hunter through it... if they are even eligible for lowest difficulty. I think my Hunter is only level 21. Marko, Hawk?
If there's time maybe even Nightfall (on my main) or something... anything for coins. Otherwise I need to hit IB. I really want to hit Rank 5 and I'm going to miss out on a lot of bounties since I haven't been playing all week.
I did some Iron Banner late last night and plan to do much more tonight. It went very well despite being late. I had the highest K/D in every game and stayed positive even in the game my team lost... which I joined mid game and nearly caught up to points/kills leader on my team. Not saying I'm awesome at IB. I'm a little above average with all the casuals in it right now. I'm just surprised that it wasn't down to only tryhards that are better than me even after 1 AM central. So anyway... Anyone is welcome to join me for IB. It'd be great to have a team and not just play random pubs some.

I need 4 coins to buy both the Obsidian Mind and the Icebreaker.
We're gonna hit the weekly so hard tonight, it's gonna press charges against us.

I don't think I have near enough coins for both, but maybe after weekly. I also really need an exotic shard to finish off my Starfire Protocol, but this will have to be a higher priority... Maybe we can sherpa my Hunter too for a few extra coins, then... hell if I know. All the other ways of getting them are too random to really farm, sadly...

TBH.... I need 4 to buy both, but then I need shards for them... 14 to be exact. I am definetly sure as hell buying the Icebreaker to give the big fangooola to Juggler. The OMind is still debateable, but I'm leaning towards it too Let's meet up, hopefully TheHawkNY is still willing to join us, then let's get some coins. Let's get the money then decide if we need to spend it.

Well if we get into how many exotic shards I need, eventually... uhh... I have 3 armor pieces to upgrade, 2 exotic bounties to finish then upgrade the guns, and 2 guns to rexurbish, then upgrade... so in total I need like 9 shards... Of course if I pickup these two items then it goes to 11 shards. heh heh heh Oh well. I can handle having lots of exotic things that need a shard to finish upgrade. Honestly, that's a problem I would LIKE to have. ;3
Clearly I need to be doing the weekly, every week... instead of like once a month. ;3 I should probably also work on my Hunter so I can start running weeklies on her too... Wish I could take like a week off and grind. heh heh heh

I've never run a nightfall either, at least not more than getting far enough to kill some ultras/majors... I definitely want to hit one, especially with our new toys. (Really wish I had those OTHER new toys I wanted too, but oh well, fuck it. Maybe I'll start cheesing CE... lol naw)

I was also really hoping to grab Timur's Leash and reroll it to perfection, but alas... I didn't have enough playtime to manage rank 5 this IB. They probably won't offer it for sale again next IB, but who knows. Maybe I'll get it as a reward the way I did Efreet's Spear this time. All I know is I got rank 3 the last two IB's, I got to rank 4 this time (but didn't get to buy the R4 goodies)... Next time I WILL be ready, and I WILL max out Rank 5. In fact I may glimmer farm preemptively just to be certain I can buy all the crap from him. I don't care if he sells weapons I don't even want. I'm buying them! I'm tired of half-assing IB... next time I will conquer it.
In the meantime I should be able to fully upgrade my AR and Ice Breaker, get me Bad Juju and Picket Infinity, level up my new legendary chest plate so I can use my exotic gloves... I should be able to hit level 31 by then (need shards and helium). Oh yeah... Next IB I'mma be dangerous. Maybe I can even talk Marko into going in with me to see if it's more fun with friends. heh ;3 In fact, maybe we can get more of a crew from here for at least one session next IB. It would be amazing to have nearly a whole squad of bros all on mic instead of just playing pubs.

I'm always down for some PvP...still need to get my Vanguard up for some raiding. Granted I have 0 idea about crucible gear, but (as least imho) you're kinda at a crossroads... where you need purple gear, but are burning the candle at both ends trying to get both vanguard and crucible rank. The higher level 20 stuff with blue gear won't cut it... we need to add some some blood of our enemies to redden that gear to make it purple! I did it by commiting to vanguard grinding by 1. Grind events, bounties, and buying vanguard gear but not upgrading it to the last tier with AShards until you have enough (18 per item). The end of the Eris quest thread killing Omnigol gives you legendary thrall bracers, so if you've progressed, Mannon and I can help you with that. But if we're not on, I *think* that it's a strike that can line you up with some others to do so. But if Mannon and I are there, we'll do the heavy lifting for you. Remember that for both crucible and vanguard, the max marks you can have is 100 per week. Helmets are 120, gauntlet, legs and chests are 65 each... that 65*3+120 = 315 so 3 weeks of pure 1 side grinding or 2 weeks of both. The bracers save you 65 though... But you'll need commendations to get some though 2. Eventually, you'll save up coins and buy an exotic gear. You'll need an exotic shard to fully level it up. But the good part about this is it requires no AShards to level; I maxed out my exotics faster than I maxed out my vanguard armour. Doing these 2 should bring you close to the high 20's... and the more shards you get, you'll be able to level up the armor to get you to 30/31. Then you'll be like me an Mannon who need raid gear stuff to take us to level 32. When it comes to raid stuff, you'll need weapons. I kinda neglected that aspet of my character, trying to get him the best armour... but when it came time to do strikes, I couldn't hurt my enemies at all... so while grinding, consider 3. The more bounties you do, eventually you'll get an exotic bounty for a free weapon (the Voice in the Wilderness for Super Good Advice, is imho, the easiest but will take 1 strange coin from Xur to do, then a boatload of machine gun kills) But before you pick one, google the requirements. While grinding for rep/rank.... 4. Collect each damage type (solar, arc, and void) for sniper rifles, fusion rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers. If you want, throw in a shotgun for PVP, but personally, I hate them so I don't carry one. The Murmur FRifle is good for this, as it switches between arc and solar. It depends on what you want to do... you could grind both PVP and PVE marks to get 200 a week, assuming you don't have any already. Running the Crota timeline will save you 65 marks and get you Murmur... so that's not bad either Either way, figure out whatcha wanna do and The 3 Musketeers of the DenK PSN clan will add you up to become the 4 Horsemen of the Denpokolypse... mannon's war, TheHawkNY is death, I'm conquest... so you get to be Famine. TL;DR: figure out whatcha wanna do, let us know, and we'll help you out

If going purely for leveling up and getting gear Crucible is pretty bad at that... at first. In other words the rep gains and marks are much slower than vanguard for the same play time. Of course your Vanguard marks cap out at 100 per weeks so once you hit the cap it could be fruitful to switch. On the other hand you should also work on shards and coins. Daily missions for shards and weeklies for coins. That's a lot of stuff you can do every week just on PvE alone.
But, if you enjoy Crucible, then by all means go for it. It won't hurt you to have Crucible Marks and rep. Even if you don't get your Crucible rep high enough to purchase anything the marks are useful. Eventually you'll have most of what you need from the Vanguard, but you might still want some things from the factions, particularly if you want a decent legendary auto rifle. For that you may need the factions. (New Monarchy for good Auto Rifle.) Don't worry about factions until you've got Vanguard then pick one and put on their faction item. All vanguard and crucible rep will be converted to that faction while wearing it. Keep in mind you will need Crucible marks to purchase anything, though. As well as Crucible commendations, (ranking up the faction also gives you commendations at ranks 3+.)
Definitely hit us up for help on Dailies and Weeklies, or even just farming.

I just suggested crucible because 1) Brad can do it if we're not around, and 2) if he's a grindoholic, he can get 200 hundred marks, and potentially get a crucible gear armour and a vanguard armour for 65 each (ie: chest and foot)
With the Eris bounty to get himself gauntlets (assuming that is what it is for a titan as it is for a warlock) he only needs to save up some marks for either, and buy a helmet for 120... bingo bango level 28/9/30 he's running raids and strikes with us

If he's lucky Xur may offer a helmet exotic and save him 120 marks. Good idea to wait a couple of days before purchasing armor... except boots. There are no exotic boots.

I'm not sure... he's sold a helmet last week... so the odds are low. Hey; it'd be nice but then he'd need to have the coins which I'm not sure he has but maybe the eris armour for titans is still the gauntlets, minimum light 24, max 33. So all vanguard armour is level 24*4 is 96, which is 2 light short of level 28... that's nekked... 2 days of bounties and that'll be upgraded no sweat to level 28. hell, all maxed is 33*4=132, which is level 31 Then the fun begins ;>

Yes, but you really want at least one exotic piece of armor as well. Not just to save you some marks up front. (You eventually want legendary gear for all slots so you can change exotic loadouts.) But also because it saves both Ascendant and Radiant shards given exotics go up to 36 light, and if it does save you some marks those can be used for weapons. All win/win... I would say get legendary boots first, then hold on purchases until got first exotic from Xur, then purchase Vanguard to fill in the gaps.

That's a great start! I didn't have a legendary auto rifle until I finally pushed New Monarchy to rank 3 and bought one. In fact the only legendary primaries I've had before that were nothing but hand cannons. Destiny loves giving me hand cannons... (Except Timur's Lash... FU Salidin!)
If you don't already have legendary boots get those first since there aren't any exotics. Then you might want to wait and see what you can get from Xur. We can help you with the weekly to get some more coins so maybe you can pick that up this weekend if you already have some, or mebbe next if not. It takes 13 strange coins for a guaranteed exotic armor piece. You just don't know what slot it will be or which piece it will be. Some are better than others, but they are all 36 max light so definitely worth getting.
Keep working on that arsenal, though. Ideally you want all three elements covered for sniper, fusion rifle, machine gun, and rocket launcher. If you don't have one of those items for a given element it's worth keeping a blue, maybe even a green, just to have every element covered. This comes in super handy for the weeklies, and it's even more important for Nightfall, not that I've done any yet. ;3 It also turns out to be very handy anyway vs shielded opponents. Sometimes you get ones like Omnigul who don't follow the normal patterns, but for the most part shield elements are consistent.
Examples: Arc vs Fallen Captians, Hive Knights Solar vs Hive Wizards, Cabal (Big guys) Void vs Vex Minotaurs, Cabal (Little guys)
(Sorry don't know the names of Cabal enemies and trying to look them up at work is annoying. I can edit later.) Just look for the corresponding colors and use what's appropriate.

I'm good to go either tonight at 9 (my time) or Friday (9 my time) mannon... what about you? I'm really feeling like doing a nightfall, if that's cool with everyone. And if we have time, a VOG would be awesome now that I've maxed out my Atheon and Praethyth (spl?) to take down those dirty dirty oracles quickly
