Now my biggest gripe was the shit boss fights that were more or less "shoot at guy for 20 minutes but don't get shot back because he will probably instakill you." Is that a problem in the new content?[/QUOTE]
Most of the bosses are more interesting than that, like for the new Vex one you have to slam a b-ball into a hoop to open a window to damage it, and the Cabal one is a tag team of a jetpacking melee unit and artillery piece

I'm glad you say this because it is completely fixed in TTK. Bosses are way more fun and don't require you to shoot them 658192 times to finish them off.

its a collection of all the lore collected from the calcified fragments aboard the dreadnaught
if you can decipher the crazy amount of bullshit in it it sheds some light on what the hive are and what they are doing[/QUOTE]
I read through this last night, and it honestly reminds me of some of the weirder/outlandish lore from the Elder Scrolls series. I think I can sort of summarize it if anyone is interested.

the few bosses I've fought so far have mechanics they go through over the course of the fight, it really helps alleviate that. I think one of the worst offenders of the "huge near-insta-kill bulletsponge" is the ogre from that hive strike, I don't think it'd be hard to learn from mistakes like that
The "Scent is the key" chest on the dreadnaught was a bitch; took like 4 tries. You have to hall ass or you just don't make it;
anyone think the new raid will involve [sp] Oryx's "weapon" that he talks about (in the last calcified fragment lore) because it will get used by whoever vanquishes him? and we end up activating it because of what happens in the raid? [/sp]

Yes.
In 45 minutes.
similar to our speculation with the queen, [sp]do we really know if the king died during our little fight? he just kind of teleported out while laughing, even if he did abandon his fancy sword. That whole trope of "If you didn't explicitly see it happen it could very well not have happened", I just kind of knocked him off the throne but didn't take his head[/sp]

[sp]he used the power of his sword to turn him into a taken. which is why the raid has you kill him again.[/sp]
I bought the exotic chance coins from Xur and went into Sunless Cell for my first time (amazing strike, jesus) used 2 before the boss and got an exotic helmet engram drop. Which was pretty surreal to see
which turned into a Graviton Forfeit
well I guess I have a reason to level my hunter now.
Anyone know what the light level is for the raid?
You only need to use one at a time, using two doesn't increase your chances of getting something.
What it means by "stack" is that if you use one and get nothing the next one you use increases your chances of a drop.

Admittedly I thought it had been used after I killed a yellow enemy and didn't get an engram before the boss so I just used another just incase
good to know

It's crazy how many people are getting this wrong.
To be fair though, Bungie weren't 100% clear about it.

You can see if you have used one by looking in your character screen, you'll have the buff.
Also how are people finding so much stuff with the coins? I used one and got the Y2 Invective, but since then I've used at least 10 and have gotten nothing.
killed about 4 ultras with the tree of coins buff on, not a single exotic engram
I've pretty much given up on them.
If I want an exotic I'll just cross my fingers or buy one from Xur if he ever has anything interesting.
This is why I need more vault space.
No Dupes either.

People are using the exploit that was posted on reddit, bungie has already said they're going to nerf the luck coins eventually, so better do this while you can.

Yeah, I've been doing that since it was posted. Only got one time from it.

What they're doing doesn't affect the chances of getting an exotic though, which I believe he was referring to.
That's what I meant. I'm aware of the farming method, but HOW are people getting so many drops from it? I've wasted a ton of strange coins for pretty much nothing.

Sadly, I believe the answer is simply "you're unlucky". I'm sorry.
If it's any consolation though, I'm not all that lucky with them either.
Bought four helmet engrams from Xur, immediately got Y2 Insurmountable Skullfort, Y2 Helm of Inmost Light, Taikonaut, and Y2 Celestial Nighthawk.
Now I can be best Striker again. I'll have to actually play my Hunter to get her leveled (I later got Y2 Young Ahamkara's Spine or w/ever for her too), but good luck with that when my ISP is still shitting on my connection!
Spent like 15 coins and farmed the house of wolves mission and i finally got a exotic weapon!....pulse rifle telesto that i cant even use becouse im not level 40 :v:
Bought that Titan helmet "An Insurmountable Skullfort" stats were better than my other Exotic helmet also I really like the effect on the visor.

Guess those coins kind of paid off.
Did a strike and got the Y2 Celestial Nighthawk.
is nighthawk actually worth it or no? I got one from xur a while back and the one shot thing makes its uses niche (great for plowing down a zerg of thralls), BUT I've also been told to just wait for zergs of thralls to use golden gun anyways, so yeah. (edit) I guess the 6x damage is great for bosses anyways since you otherwise only get 3 shots off, yeah?
speaking of y1 gear though, is there any point to keeping that or should I chuck it and get the Y2 one separately? Haven't seen anything about upgrading old equipment to the new versions
Ended up getting the 4th horsemen Shotgun, is it any good at all or should I just bank it?

You can upgrade some exotics to Y2, Nighthawk is one of them. Use the exotic terminals in the vanguard room with Ikora, Cayde and Zavala.
Has anyone brought up how varied the guns are now, in appearance? We have all sorts of different designs for auto rifles etc. Some have digital displays and stuff and a lot of the sights are pretty unique
suros weapons are gorgeous, hakke are sleek and cool, not a big fan of omolon but i like the liquid ammo counters
