How do you get the quest? I've been busy with school this week, so I haven't been on top of Destiny in the last few days.
If you met the requirements you should see a quest on Earth show up called the First Firewall.

PvP, lots of fun in mayhem Rumble where you shutdown Stormcaller and Sunbreakers as they stare in disbelief.
I watched Teftyteft and the planet destiny team run the raid with it. And they loved it on the Warpriest and the daughters, melted them incredibly fast, they were even a little shocked. The first glyph puzzle they had him down to a quarter health with only weapons, no tether. Daughters they downed each one with about 5 to 10 seconds left on the aura.

Golgoroth though, they said that the spindle is better as it's consistent dps. And Oryx they prefer primary and special, but the ogres were melted with it.

They were also laughing about the aim assist. Tefty even had the aimer a good inch or two off the daughters head and it still crit'd.

Also, I think it's a timed quest. It only shows up on certain days. So if it's there great, get er done.

If it's not, then you have to wait for it to come around again.

Do any of you guys port forward the ps4? I'm wired on shaw with 35mbps d/l NAT Type 2 and I randomly keep getting red bars in the Crucible. It's frustrating. I don't really know what else to do. Crucible is the only problem on any game really.

When I was using Shaw I would get lag spikes every 8 seconds or so in online games. Really, really annoying. Eventually I found that if I bridged the connection from the Shaw provided modem+router to my own router, the issue went away. Essentially turning the Shaw box into just the cable modem, and letting my own router act as the gateway. Is that the type of issue you are seeing? If so, I would see about switching up some hardware. If it is more of a "all is good for 5 minutes, then sucks for a minute", then I'm not sure.

Ugh, stuck in Winnipeg for the next few weeks. On the plus side, the weather's been relatively mild in here, and the Internet connection in my hotel room is decent, which means lots of video game time! Will probably get to run the raid 3x this week for the first time! All while putting my time into the Iron Banner lol.

Last night's raid run was a solid 75 mins. Looks like 75-90 mins is the standard running time, though my buddy mentioned that someone 4-manned it in under 45???? Crazy people.

There are a bunch of ridiculous video of people doing golgoroth in 10 mins with 2 man. I don't understand how that's possible, but the evidence are in these videos lol.

I haven't done the raid that much but from what I have seen the biggest issue on that fight is people shooting other people in the back losing the mag bonus as well as missing a lot of DPS. For some reason people like to strafe when shooting.

Amount of drops from IB and Crucible a big topic of contention. For what bungie claims to be the primary source of loot, hoping for RNG based rewards isn't very fulfilling. I've been lucky enough to get decent amount of drops this time around but it could certainly aim to do more.

Just got up to rank 4 in IB and I've gotten nothing too great through the drops personally. I did get a few blues that were 290+, so useful for infusion. However, I've had only one legendary drop and I'm probably around 25 or so games. I seem to remember the last IB had much higher drops.

Still - IB weeks are so much fun. The less skilled PvP players tend to come out and I feel like a rockstar with 20+ kills for a week. I sometime even get to hold the banner in the opening screen! Confidence boost - haha!

The core gameplay promotes it. Standing still gets you killed, constantly moving keeps you alive.

The guy who first did the Golgoroth 2 man, just recently killed Oryx with a 3 man team

Almost to rank 5 in iron banner.
I've only had the boots and cloak drop at 286, and 280 respectively. I'm playing at 305 light, so the drops clearly don't account for light level. Gear in the 280s is essentially useless until it's infused several times.
I bumped my boots up to 300 because of the huge weapons and movement speed boost after capturing a control point.
I'll probably buy the pulse rifle when I hit 5 rather than hoping for it to actually drop, then immediately stop playing iron banner.

Excited for hard raid though! I've done the raid x 3 the past two weeks, so it's getting a little old.
I only have one character at 308, so I'll probably have to wait to run with the other two 301-303 characters until I get a few 310+ weapons/ghost.

In terms of legendaries I've only gotten the titan mark a few times and the hunter cloak once. I have 2 chars at rank 5 atm.

I hit rank 5 over the weekend as well and picked up the pulse rifle. It's actually pretty solid.

Loot drops were underwhelming. I didn't get a single legendary outside of the cloak (which looks terrible).

And...sunbreakers. Everywhere. All the time. Everywhere. Homing hammers that kill through walls with splash damage, healing the hammer thrower, while he then throws four more guaranteed kill hammers that heal him. Cool story Bungie. How about we re-visit Gunslingers?

5x homing gunslinger shots with an overshield and regen would be great.

Yeah the hammer situation has gotten pretty ridiculous. I also had a fun match where there were four nightstalkers, each camping a control point and spamming their tethers. Hammers are one thing, those idiots were downright cheaters. I hope their whole crew got banned hard, though I'm not counting on it.

It's funny, because sunbreaker is definitely needing a nerf, but through Iron Banner, I felt like I was killed much more often by Stormcallers.
Gunslinger doesn't seem to be able to hold its own against the three new subclasses, which sucks because I love playing gunslinger, and I'm not great with shadowshot.
