Did you like the Winters Run Strike 2 weeks ago?
Well... let's do it again!
The modifiers for the Nightfall are:
Epic - Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers. Nightfall - If all players die, your Fireteam is returned to Orbit. Solar Burn - Solar damage from any source is greatly increased. Arc Burn - Arc damage from any source is greatly increased. Void Burn - Void damage from any source is greatly increased.
The modifiers for the Weekly Heroic Strike are:
Heroic - Enemies appear in greater numbers and are more aggressive. Void Burn - Void damage from any source is greatly increased.
As always, use this thread to brag about whatcher gonna do, whatcher gonna get, and most importantly, debate/wager on who's gonna steal my Gjallie this week?

For those who, like me, are addicted to Zee Spot de la Fromage And if you still have a hankering for some old cheddah, Bungie missed a hole under the platform BTW.... in case you were wondering why the Archon Priest was done 2 times in a row... I'm sure it has something to do with the HoW dropping soon. I bet that Sepik's Prime will be next week.... oh hey guy look at that

I haven't done a NF with other people in months. Did a group one last night. I grabbed a random from the Tower. And gosh darn golly gee whiz, that was easy. We rolled through this in like 17 minutes or so. Archon Priest has to be the easiest NF out there. My reward? Eight Ascendent Energies.

I would murder you in your sleep for those. ;3 Well not exactly, but I do have tons of legendary weapons that need them and since I pretty much have only logged in to do Iron Banner, some weeklies, and sometimes bounties for the last several months... I pretty much never have any. heh
Sounds like things are changing for the better for me soon, though. PoE should be much easier for me to do than raids... though I still want to run the raids. VoG was great! I mean, the one time I actually did it, it was.
I'm gonna try to run the NF this week. Triple burn Archon Priest... nice. Maybe tonight, maybe this weekend... I'm just dipping my toe in, though. Not diving back into Destiny full boar until HoW drops... then we'll see.

Well Ascendant Materials for Nightfall could be a secondary reward like engrams are for the Weekly Heroic. I would have minded less getting Ascendant Materials as a Nightfall reward if I got more of them, say 24 as a reward, and then have a currency converter at a good exchange rate. At least the latter is coming.

Could you imagine if you actually could exchange those mats for the new ethereal mats that are coming out?

Nah it shows how broken the economy system as there are currently no checks in place to prevent inflation. I'd have liked a stock exchange NPC so you could invest in surplus currencies for a better deal. We already have gambling in the game with the Cryptarch, but he's just a slot machine in disguise.

Thing is it isn't actually an economy. Currencies in Destiny are really just content gates and time sinks. Eventually you just run out of things to purchase. That's not really going to change, although I'll be glad to see more exchanges at least and I wouldn't mind seeing some more things for us to spend our currencies on. I think the addition of reforging to HoW is a good step and I wish they would expand it to TDB and Vanilla items.

Exchanges are coming when HoW drops via The Speaker. It looks like most of my Ascendant Materials will be converted to Motes of Light.

I have about 130 motes of light, so I'm kind of ok there.
Hate to ask how many Wings has lol.

I have 141 Motes of Light as I used quite a lot on Efrideet's Spears' re-rolls. An arc rifle with Surplus and Field Scout just wasn't happening until I spent about 100 Motes on re-rolls. I decided to spend more than usual because of Etheric Light. I might regret that decision later but I usually make up the currencies in time to sustain a decent reserve. I tried getting a void Spear optimised for PvP but I don't think I got a stellar roll, in case I want another Thorn for the sake of it. Jolder's Hammer and the Efrideet's Spear are really the only two Iron Bnner weapons I am interested in so there are enough Nightfall bounties to regain some Motes of Light back.

Run 1: Universal Remote Run 2: 12 Ascendant Energies Run 3: Crest of Alpha Lupi (Titan - 161 max Intellect)
The Crest has an improvement of 13 Intellect so this might be handy in Trials of Osiris.

Now well behind you. I spent 69 motes of light this morning on helmet engrams, at Xur. I made a new Titan a few weeks ago. One of the last remaining items I needed, to have everything with it, at level 32, ...was the Helm of Saint 14. It's only dropped one time over the 35 Xur drops. So I decided to take a lottery shot at it this morning. Buy a bunch of engrams, with the hope the Saint 14 came up. It did. One of my three attempts worked. I got lucky.

People were absent/busy and ignoring my requests last night, so bradman and I tried to two man it. All was sorta going okay until I botched everything just before the priest because I spazzed and popped my super by accident when I punched a dreg then tried to throw a grenade at a captain too soon. Sorry Brad... my bad. Anyways.... 3 weeklies, 27 coins, a few blues turned into motes and a coin, one legendary engram that popped me a hunter helmet. Time to buy a thunderlord and a few exotic shards to prep for HoW.

This is just great. Solo'ed this week's NightFall this morning. 28 minutes or so, and this is my reward!!!!
but as an aside, the video is fun, if only for seeing my 39 second KO of the Archon Priest. Crapping all over him.
