does anyone know if your light level in crucible affects the light level of your drops?

I hate using the raid pulse rifle in crucible, but its the only primary I have that'll keep me above 300. I dont want to use it for infusion as its handy for the raid.

It apparently does yes

You could always infuse a 310 Primary Duplicate into your preferred weapon of choice

thats my problem, I don't have another primary that I can junk to bring up something else.

Well Given the loot drops form Crucible will only be <300, there's no point in being 315 with a 310 Primary, when you can be 305 with a 280 Primary, if that makes sense.

is it just me or are the connections to destiny getting worse. I'm kicked from Destiny or unable to connect at log on several times a day. I've done nothing to my internet set up, and its wired up.

Infuriating.

Also, has 'Attempting to contact Destiny Servers' ever resulted in it managing to do just that, rather than kick you?

Finally got around to doing some of the PvP quests. Equipped an auto rifle for the first time in ages, started off using Her Right Hand, not much joy but shifted to Antipodal Hindsight which eased the suffering and then scampered off and bought Suros (my first true love).

God those AR's are a pain to use against anyone who can wield a pulse but luckily I had 2 games paired against complete scrubs so got 2 of the 4 knocked out. While the quest will drag a little, it's actually good to be forced to use some other gun types.

Eyasluna dropped with almost maxed stability so I'll be giving that a whirl for the HC stage.

On another note, how does one glimmer farm these days?

I've often gotten back in but my score is reset to zero.

I think PSN is being a bit uncooperative the last week. Maybe it's that.

Aside from that were you, or have you ever been, in party or social space with any of the following suspects:

When that keeps happening I just turn the game off and leave it till the next day. Or wait in orbit and see if they will invite anyone else to take down the Warpriest.

the five bounties one bugged for me. picked it up and immediately had 4/5 completed. Just played two games and boom, weekly crucible bounty done.

Only got a 306 ash factory from it though.

I got that one aswell, wondering was it because I completed 1 of the quartermaster bounties aswell. Got a 310 exotic warlock chest piece from it.

What's the highest light level you can get from drops on normal raid if your a 308 ? All I seem to be getting is stuff at either 300 or 302

310 I think for NM gear.

So the 'challenge' is that you can't have the same Aura bearer twice. I'd hazard a guess that if nobody knew about the challenge at least 80% of the groups would do it by mistake.

80% of the 80% will probably wipe after going a guardian down even though the group has enough dps. That's where the real challenge lies.

You can die as many times as you like. The challenge only has 1 stipulation: you can't have the same aura holder twice. Its not even a challenge

PhlegmyMoses

Yeah, was simple. If they do 6 orb for golgoroth it'll be a bit more difficult but a couple of hunters with evade make that pretty easy, so I can only see Oryx challenge being hard.

Nice to get that 320 artifact though pretty handily though.

Get your facts right.


The rest of this message will come through by the time the next thread is started.

anyone on Xb1 out there needs or wants to run the warpriest challenge 3 times today?

Just doing it for the artifacts. I could finish the raid afterwards but I just want to get the warpriest out of the way first.

It is hard to find a team on LFG as I am a bit under level (311/309/309 if I remember correctly).

I'll be on later tonight if thats any use to you, - about 9pm?

Got the challenge mode done last night. Easy enough apart from some retarded moments from all of us. (I somehow apparently killed 5 adds with the brand in less than 3 seconds).

Got my 320 Artifact, 317 Rocket Launcher, 320 Sniper and few other bits from the raid.

Mickeroo

I had a Monte Carlo drop straight from him on one run, only 310 though.

Generic Dreadhead

I got about 7 or 8 items that were 316-320 last night, it was f**king class

That would be great. I will be on around that time. My plan is to start it up, get to the totems, save the cp and then do totems warpriest 3 times. Shouldn't take more than 30-40 minutes, hopefully!

So whatever you can do, if it is only 1 thats fine. I just dont have any artifacts on my 2 secondary characters so anything would be more than welcome!

I have a Warpriest checkpoint from last night. I won't be on tonight to play but I can log on for 5 minutes to give it to you if you want.

I dont have to do them all today, I just have to do them this week, if I can't find anyone online and need to go to LFG if I have the cp at least I have something to bargain with if you know what I mean.

thank you!

Daraa

If you picked up the Suros PDX-45 order from the gunsmith last week one of the rolls comes with Hidden Hand, perfect balance, and rifled barrel!

Could be my new PVP weapon of choice!
