Oh dear. The fun police has arrived. :coffee:

Actually, that would be a good name for a clan. ;)

Just don't come crying to us when you're complaining about the grind and having nothing to do again in three weeks. :P

Also - I really liked when we were called Xmas Noobs, and would be fully behind any further amusing changes, including 'The Fun Police'.

It's quite clear that Bungie have listened in the past year and have put a load of effort into TTK to make it varied and fun. I'd imagine spending an hour of doing various things is far more beneficial than suiciding at an Ultra over and over. It's year 2's Exclusion Zone - I don't think anyone would agree that was fun. I've had 3 or 4 exotics via Three of Coins just through normal play, that's more than enough for me to be getting on with for now.

Snap out of that Year 1 mentality and play the game. It's great.

Forgot to mention, but you can get Fatebringer 2.0 from Echo Chamber strike. Its not got Arc damage, but the rest of the perks *can* be the same, and it also has the exact same model as Fatebringer.

People are saying it can drop from the normal version of the strike, but I guess its probably got a lower drop rate than if you do it in the strike playlists.

Guns called Imago Loop.

Edit: On the coins front, everyone saying run strikes - I ran strikes last night and both myself, and Droodling, popped some coins before bosses. We got jack and shit off every boss. Oh and the Psion Flayers in the Mars strike (old PS4 exclusive) do not even count as ultras, and they're the boss!

So I would not recommend using them on heroic strikes at least.

I've had exotics out of Heroic strikes. Even Patrols with the Taken event stuff. Don't expect it to piss exotics at you.

We used 3 or 4 coins, but that Mars psion flayer strike came up at least twice which was annoying as it doesn't work with them.

I've not seen a lot of ultra's on the Dreadnaught, unless someone summons one of the event bosses which seems quite rare. Best place to use the coins of course would obviously be Court of Oryx.

Depends on the perks mainly. If you have firefly and the stats are the same as Fatebringer (I think they're the same unless you get modifying perks) then you're good to go.

Court bosses aren't Ultras, seemingly. At least not on the first two tiers. You can see the buff's still active afterwards. Expect they will be on Antiquated.

Getting the flayers is bad luck for sure. We did one Heroic last night and two of us got engrams off the boss. This after burning through half a dozen coins since Friday with no result.

Seeing it explode in a shower of blue and purple and yellow was just the best feeling, and I'd much rather have that occasional bit of awesomeness than brute force a dozen drops in an hour of repetitive play that will make any dupe drop in the next 12 months a disappointment instead of a thrill. I don't think I'll ever do a strike or raid boss without the buff active, and that's more than enough for me. Horses for courses I suppose.

After shutting down the PS4 last night, I was day-dreaming about what bits & bobs I needed to fully flesh out my build(s) and make them viable for every situation the new content throws at you. First on my shopping list was a good long range Scout Rifle.

Woke up this morning, cashed in a few bounties and ranked Dead Orbit again. That little beauty dropped this wondrous piece of tech in my lap:

Happy days! ^_^

never really tried any other faction but I can't imagine what they can have stuff to compete with dead orbit. have the scout and shotgun. been infusing the shit out of them. amazing stuff. scout is my favourite weapon since I started playing.

I've been spanking the game in the last week and I've not had a single one :(

I had to go like a filthy casual to Xur to get my first exotic with my pocket money. He gave me three duplicate helmets from the engrams I bought :facepalm:

Same, the only exotic I got before Xur turned up was the scout rifle from the quest.

This weekend has been great. Exotics galore, some of them didn't even come from a 3 of coins!

Oz: The Scout Rifle - Boolean Gemini - is like a manual firing Vision of Confluence without the Solar damage, almost identical stats on it. It feels great using it and the One Way/ Or Another perks sound great (I've not unlocked them yet, one increases agility the other increases armour). If you haven't done the quest, go for it, it's long but the reward is good enough. I hear it's pretty handy in Crucible too.

One of the highlights of the weekend was last night in Skywatch, Finite, Moose and me were waiting to kill one of the Taken Zealot targets for the above quest, when Urzok decided to make an appearance. Big mistake! He lasted about 5 seconds as everyone in the area just pummelled him :lol:

More tonight, I'm really enjoying the new stuff and not even set foot in the raid yet.

I'd say Conspiracy Theory D is the new go to gun that I've see used, and check this bullshit out below, shows the Shotgun range nerf has done fuck all difference...

Cunt got me from a fucking mile away!

Yeah its pretty sick in Crucible, shame the reload is pants, but I just bought the shotgun reload speed gloves off Shaxx, so I should be good to go :P

Has the Jolly Holiday quest changed its requirement? In the app it now shows a points target of 1500, thought it was a 100% before?

Doesn't show properly in the app for me, so doubt its been changed.

It's a level 30 exotic too, so if you're starting the story on another 30+ character you can pass it over to them

@Hexx You can insta level a character so that you can do the new content via a one time use consumable.

To be honest though, I'd say you'd have a better time starting from scratch and playing. It won't take long to level up (6-8 hours) and for better or worse you will have played all the vanilla story missions. Then use the insta level consumable for an alt.

I got offered that (at 300) at the end of a quest line, and picked the alternative. Then I didn't really like the alternative and used it to infuse a sniper rifle I'm not even sure I like that much either. :facepalm:

On the plus side, I do already have a decent shotgun. One of the Hakke guns with the funky navy and green paint jobs.

Oh, and is anybody still doing the Taken Champion quest for Petra? I'm on the Venus section and am finding it a bit of a ballache doing it solo (even if it did lead to one of my favourite moments of the weekend*), so if anyone wants to team up and get it done (and I'm happy to go back and do the Earth bit again if whoever it is isn't that far yet) that'd be grand.

* Was at the divide and, as per usual, all the various events happened at the same time, so I had a huge Taken Knight, a Fallen Walker and all the assorted adds fighting me (and each other) at the same time. Wasn't exactly helpful in terms of getting anything done, but it was still amazing. :D
