whats the best farming method - I was thinking of running it with my hunter, golden gun and celestial nighthawk - if there was a second hunter (void) and a weapons of light bubble I would assume omnigul will go down fairly quick on that first sighting.

Got space for another hunter?

Just watched an IGN Destiny Fireteam interview with Deej. Confirmed Year 2 Moments of Triumph (7th Column July when they reveal more info), and that it will be in-game. We will be able to check our progress in game.

What's with all the farming? Is the grasp that good? Is this a PvP thing?
I have one and it's pretty decent but is it really worth farming for?
I used it, ranked it up and put it away.
Got another yesterday which I think is better.

Ah people are farming with PvP in mind plus the fact there isnt all that much to do in destiny at the moment either.
I think they should all just buy Borderlands and be done with it already :P

Feck... I'm never gonna hit 335 - I bet that's the only thing I'm missing

I'm guessing:

• Kill Oryx - Challenge Mode
• Kill Golgy - Challenge Mode
• Kill War priest - Challenge Mode
• Hit 335.
• Complete CoE.

Not sure what else they would be looking for though.

Crucible Combat
Conquer the Day
Factions
Trials Practice
Break the Ceiling

Its A LOT easier than that now-a-days though. See Cormac's post above yours.

Got a doctrine of passing last night. Nice roll on it too. Obviously not quite as good as it would have been last week but oh well.

I still suck at trials, though pulling off a triple down as last man standing in the first round of the first game felt great!
