Hah. Well my normal method of 1.5-2.5 kd with Red Death / Shotgun isn't going to work.

Rumble pit with a void fusion rifle, camped near spawn points.....I hate the fact that I'm going to have to do it.

I'll be honest, at some point I realize the reason behind why people do this, but I still relish at the chance to repeatedly take them down.

Heh.

If I annoy a guy in game and they try to take a different angle, two bursts with Red Death ends the conversation.

If I play it right on rumble I think I can get this quest done in an hour or two.

Diemenz, I got to go to Crota HM last night as the wall puncher....thanks for posting that video, I wouldn't have gotten into the raid without a secret way to contribute.

Picked up a word of crota, a jumpship, two shaders, and an engram. Would have liked some better drops, but beggars can't be choosers.

Also completed the Thorn quest..wow what an awesome pistol.

Finally 32'd my Titan. Now I will dedicate some extra time to my Hunter, who I already doubled the level of last night.

Still need to level it up to get the damage over time perk.

I've become quite attached to my Red Death for pvp though, the heal perk is amazing.

Word of Crota is no chump. Not as good as Fatebringer, but will still serve you well in void burn strikes.

As I've been moving into higher level content, I've really noticed that having weapons of varying damage type is a must.

Having a void damage primary is going to be very helpful for purple shielded annoyances.

On a side note, does anyone still have to do VOG norm/hm or Crota norm? I'd love to get a crack at those raids this evening.

Gamertag is "l ghostrider I" (first letter is a lower case L) on the Xbox one. Feel free to add me, happy to run crucible with folks as well.

Just so everyone knows, you can only generate 8 orbs in the crystal room on hm Crota. If you try to be a hero and generate more, you will only look stupid and have to tattoo things on your forehead.

Also, if you run across a cosmic penguin, they really really love wall duty.

Hadn't played much the past week, but ran three nightfalls last night.
1: 9 coins
2: hardlight
3: 7 ascendant shards

I just had to laugh. Thankfully last week's nightfall was insanely easy.

Do you get coins from nightfalls?

It's a possibility just like ascendant materials. Anywhere from 5-9 coins I believe.

Is that in addition to the 9 coins from weekly heroic?

Yup. The Nightfall loot table is completely separate so you could technically get the guaranteed 9 from Heroic and another 5-9 strange coins from the Nightfall.

Also speaking of Nightfall drops, did 2 runs last week and was decently satisfied considering I have all the exotics minus Necrochasm. Judgement 4 with Last Round, Hammer Forged and Rangefinder. Don't like Rangefinder as much as Shotpackage but the increased rate of fire/last round might be more helpful than Felwinter's in 2v1 situations.

That's awesome, I did not know that.

I haven't even done a nightfall yet, but have done Crota HM. Go figure.

Picked up the Bad Juju quest chain last night, so it would appear that lots of weekly heroics + nightfalls are in my future.

It's not as useful when you have 70+ coins already.
I refuse to complain about rewards too much though.

This nightfall should be interesting, with void burn.
Good excuse to take my new Truth out for a spin.
Just wish I could get a 331 attack sniper to drop. Praedyth's Revege will have to suffice.
