I've only used it a bit but I was expecting more than what I've seen so far based on everyone raving about it. It seems to do the same damage as a normal fusion, but with the delay of the explosions.

Kills enmies near the explosion creates motes of light for extra kills.

So since Luke said the raid has more than just normal and heroic.... Does that mean that we are gonna get a heroic difficulty and then a "nightmare" difficulty too?

Is everyone sharding their old 170 gear already?
Just the exotic gear I get the Y2 versions of. You never know if they pull a HoW 2.0 this year. If I run out of space I'll start deleting duplicate legendaries and less-than superawesome ones. I'll probably never delete my OG raid gear and weapons though from VoG & Crota.

Is there a way to find out which you've collected? I got like 40 or something.

Im missing:
XXIX: CARVED IN RUIN
XXXIII: WHEN DO MONSTERS HAVE DREAMS
XXXVI: EATER OF HOPE
XXXVIII: THE PARTITION OF DEATH
XLIII: END OF FAILED TIMELINE
XLIV: STRICT PROOF ETERNAL
XLV: I'D SHUT THEM ALL IN CELLS.
XLVII: APOCALYPSE REFRAINS
XLVIII: AIAT, AIAT, AIAT, AIAT, AIAT

You missing any of those? Wanna go hunting?

From the ones in that list, I still need 29, 36, 43, 44, 45, 47 and 48. 36 required a fully charged Agonach Rune (which I don't have) and 45 drops from CoO tier 2. So far nobody knows how to get the others.

Legendary marks feel kind of useless except for infusion. The light level is too low from the vendor gear to interest me. I guess it's nice to have a resource that isn't too hard to obtain to use on year two exotics.

Any of those compared to mine? If so we can go hunting together

Play the slots at the Rahool casino. It got me a Zhalo Supercell and a very big chestpiece upgrade so far.

I've sharded most of my old exotics, as I know I can pull it from the kiosk, just a couple remaining like the Horn, alpha lupi, armementarium & suros.

Might as well shard all my other legendaries, now I'm 290+ with a swathe of new legendaries, except raid / IB stuff,

DGAF, what do you do when you get a perfectly rolled legendary helmet but...it's ugly??

Definitely, I admit I was worried and kind of pissed that they turned off most of the sources for marks, but turns out that vendor gear this time around is utterly useless (unless you're really crazy about the perks).

If your name is Nonoriri you have to go buy Nanami's tampons.
Finally got a Zhalo Supercell from exotic engram farming, also got a Hereafter :3c

Is our group from yesterday who couldn't find a sixth still going to try? That might be our only bet.

I think a couple people bailed but I haven't heard from Trickster so I guess us 3 are still available to do it today, just don't know when since we're 3 short.
 
Alright DGaf my buddy and I stumbled upon this the other day, and I'm interested what you guys think of it.

I'm tempted to call it another loot cave, but there wasn't much 'loot dropping in the few minutes I was there.

It also could be a glitch because part way through the massacre the cave seems to just give up and start combusting its residents the second they spawn.

Anyway, take a look!

Im hopping on now if anyone wants to help me get a week one nightfall in. I'm 288 so shouldn't need to be carried too hard. PSN Anoregon

Takeaway from my marathon King's Fall experience:

Titans are still, and perhaps more than ever, by far the MVP of high level PvE. I was the only Hunter, my group had 5 Titans. And those bubbles and hammers were so key that I legit can't imagine beating the raid without them

I am seriously considering buying year 2 Light Beyond Nemesis because it looks amazing with this orange shader I got from...somewhere. Autumn Splendor.

My light level had gone up every single play session since the game came out, from quests, patrols, bounties, strikes, whatever. I keep getting fed the gear I need to move forward in any given activity. I'm even piling up marks now that legendary gear is starting to flow. (Currently light level 255.) It's a pretty night and day difference between this and the old system, where engrams were worthless 99% of the time.

Old post, I know, but once you hit 290, it goes back to 99% of engrams and drops are useless. The only real difference that this system has versus the old one is that Rare and Legendary are essentially the same tier. Rares are no longer insta-shards, but inspect real quick, then likely shard.

They both work hand in hand now: tethering buff stacks with weapon of light.
Hunters are co-OP now. :3

Our team didn't have enough DPS for a certain boss but then I switched to Titan Defender and weapons of light got us to barely kill him.

Hopping on the TTK train a little late. I think the last time I played this, I had a lot of factions close to ranking up. I'm assuming I should probably hit the max level before I redeem those packages right?
