Am I right in thinking that you're edging because when the drop comes, you'll rank up and (hopefully) get new 2.0 items?
That is correct :)
PS4 randoms are the sort of guardians you wonder why a ghost bothered to res them.

They rush in, die a lot, and if it's a burn, they'll be using an opposite burn or a suros or some shit. It's that destiny casual market TM that would fill up raid matchmaking.
Bungie have probably used the weekly as a test to see if raid matchmaking could become a thing, looked at the stats and just face palmed and said never ever.

Worst of all is that I sometimes come out of party to help and they're either in party, or have issues understanding simple instructions over some DANK rap music they have on.

CIRCLE OF HELL.
I actually tried to do Weekly with randoms last week twice. Both times the Spider segment was impossible. I was getting the Medic medal over and over again and just rage quit.

I personally think Raids should have matchmaking because it might help some people while not affecting me in any way - basically Pareto Optimization - but I would not touch that with a 10 foot stick. Hells to the nah.

So am I right in assuming that after 2.0 hits all database websites like destinydatabase and even bungie's armory would contain all the new exotics and legendaries?

Or would that require some time and datamining efforts from the community?

They usually data-mine right after a major patch, so yes, I would fully expect a bunch of new items to pop-up :D

Might not be immediate, but it is usually pretty quick.

Imagine your weekly experience and add team mechanics.
It would only help if experienced players also went into matchmaking
and all of us are like ohhh hell nahhh.

The only problem I have with randoms is ones that give up the strike and leave me alone.

I find it worse people that look down on so called "casuals" and think everyone should be a top player or they are garbage. Not everyone has all the weapons or it's a master at the game.

Randoms that don't even try annoy me but mostly when I have three players that stick until the end most of the time the weekly gets done without any pain.

Destiny needs to have harsh penalties for leaving strikes mid-match and ways to punish aft players, it would solve a lot of problems.

People, I just bought the Legendary Edition digitally and received the gifts from the postmaster. Should I continue playing or do you recommend to wait for 2.0?

carry on my wayward son! Do as much as you can until 2.0!

As nightfalls/weeklys go when 2.0 hits, grind on and grind long!

Luck of the draw though, cause I've done Weeklies in the past smoothly.

I think Raid MM would work provided they:
1. Required you to have cleared it from start to finish 2-3 times
2. Introduced aggressive AFK detection
3. Something to prevent quitters after a certain checkpoint. Don't know if removing checkpoints altogether? I'm no designer, but this has to be addressed somehow

Wouldn't be perfect, but then again neither are LFG groups. It'd basically be like the LFG approach but in-game and without the potential for an asshole Fireteam leader to kick people out.

Of course! I actually didn't know that you weren't on PS4, were you playing on the PS3 or xbox this whole time?

Shoot me a friend request whenever you get around to it. noomi85 :)

Sorry if this has been asked, but when can we expect the 2.0 patch to arrive on XB1? Is it a switch on Bungie's end so every platform receives it simultaneously?

I mean it could work, but if people quit you'd need a system in place so only people with X checkpoint could then come in, it just would be very messy and hard to manage imagine a raid noob coming to final boss straight away, the poor bastard.

for the 100th time ;) both same time, time unknown, probably normal 10am bungie time.

A nice surprise change in 2.0 would be me hopping on my neglected destiny (xbox1 version), beating the story with NoNo at my side and finding the Strangers rifle to be upgraded to a purple

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?

Oh thank god that's IF jesus, I had a heart attack.

Hahaha, sorry :p

I expected the patch at 10AM BST because that's when the reset occurs, but I'm presuming you mean PDT?

Bungie time.

Bungie time.

If that ever happened it'd be the exotic but on 9.15
It's something they should have done before 2.0
Beat the game, get a purple engram for boots that at least helps you get a leg up on the hump that was early level light chasing. As of today, leveling will be easier for everyone that put the game down at 18 after 'beating it'
 
Was hoping the update would be out this morning before I'm out for the day. I'm sure the patch notes will be interesting to read though.

Got 9 strange coins and 2 legendary pieces of gear, whatsoever for. I think those 9 strange coins are from the newsletter promotion, however, I needed those in the week Gjallahorn was on sale, but of course, I did not get them.

Did the legendary pieces have a Taken King icon in the top right, or a I or II?
 
Hey guys what time does the patch drop? Is it out yet?

Watch this crazy reset group play for one last time. This is one of my fondest memory, waking up every Tuesday morning and watching these guys play and get all their reset checklist done in about an hour or two.

Aww that's so nice ^_^

And everyone at 34 will be throwing their XP off the side of the tower

So Factions are about to be relevant... I have a question:

Does it make sense to focus on a different faction with each of your three characters? Or would that be dumb and you should focus on the same faction with all 3?

That's why even though I main all 3 Guardians on ps4, this week I'll be on my Xbox 1 leveling my titan and doing story missions with my level 6 warlock (I will eventually buy TTK for x1 as well for the boost to 25 for my yet to be born hunter)

Same one on all three would mean you could clean out their entire stock of drops quicker. One on each would give you more variety of items that you could use on all characters. I'm having the same dilemma myself.

Nice big fucking storm heading my way. I bet it will knock the electric and internet out just as the update goes live. >_>

Better complete these bounties fast.

Will you be able to level up to 34 through XP after the patch hits? Or will we be working with light equipment until next week?

Different one on each, you still get the odd drop for different classes as well. Plus it's easier to cycle through a level

I'm going with one of each.

Titan - New Monarchy
Hunter - Dead Orbit
Warlock - Future War Cult

I figured that gaining rep would be no problem at all (Ammo/Armor/Weapon material turn-in, Strike streak bonus) so I could possibly exhaust all faction loot in a few days and then have to wait until reset to change facton allegiance. I'd rather spend my glimmer on other things anyway.

Thanks, I'll definitely go with one on each faction.
