Managed to snag a couple of reasonable pictures without the hud for once:

Pigtails comtemplating what to do with the Cryptarse..

A bit of Tower fun:

My personal favourite (just wish I didn't have the NF effect):

Nice.

Since when do dailies have bloody lightswitch? I had a few minutes before work this morning and thought I might just quickly nip through the daily on level 30...it was The Archive and I missed the lightswitch modifier....absolute pain in the arse! Such a long checkpoint at the end with stealth vandals coming from all directions, actually gave up in the end and did a quick couple of Roc strikes in the end.

In hindsight I probably should have changed from my shotgun loadout, but meh :P

The Wakening (Crota Soul) has it every time it appears (feels like every other day) as the daily. Makes it a nightmare with the melee knights at the end.

At least I know not to bother with the daily today though... I hate the Arcive mission at the best of times.
 
That daily has had Lightswitch for ages, which makes it a real pain with the Stealth Vandals as you found out. It's fine if you know where they come from but if you're not ready it's a nightmare.

This game can officially do one now. I'm now up to 52 Crota kills on normal, and I still don't have a single Black Hammer yet. I've had at least 6 of every other weapon from normal mode, but Black Hammer just refuses to drop. It's an absolute joke and I'm sick of it. I get RNG, but this is just ridiculous now. I thought it was bad when it took 20 Atheon kills to finally get the Epilogue!

I need an extended break from the game now otherwise I think I'm going to snap the disk in half.

I got about 4-5 in a row then none. Only 1 fusion has dropped as well and still no HOC. Got about 3-4 swordbreakers. I have every gun from crota apart from the crux and HOC now but the handgun has only dropped once and in my last raid.

I've not done it as many times as you but I've done it plenty and I agree that you shouldn't have to run a raid 50 times to get all the weapons.

I'm not fussed about the crux but I do want the rocket launcher. I seem to be stacking up on radiant shards and energies which in the first month I thought I would never be able to do. It was such a grind to get them now they seem to drop at every point. Kill crota and get 2 shards or sometimes nothing on a fresh run on normal mode.
 
I can't really complain about the CE rng. I've had 3+ of every weapon except Swordbreaker (only 1). I've had 2 Crux along with full armour on all three characters and both ships.

Exotics wise, I've had 2 Ice Breakers, 2 Suros Regime, Last Word, Red Death, Truth, Universal Remote and countless Dragon's Breath and No Land Beyond.

That's in about 45 completions.
 
I've had 2 Gjallarhorn's from the Witch (3 in total now) but I just want that Black Hammer! I shouldn't moan considering how many weapons I've had, but I'm greedy and want them all.
 
Ran 2 raids this evening (Thanks guys!!) And got myself some pretty sweet looking weapons.

2x Found Verdict
Hezen Vengeance
Hunger of Crota
Ledge Gauntlets
Ledge Boots
Crota Warlock Class Item
VoG Class Item
Crytographic Shader
Crota Emblem

That Hunger of Crota looks pretty sweet :p
 
Hunger of Crota is the 2nd best RL in the game, and, with it being legendary, it's probably the most useful. I've now got 3 maxed out and I rarely ever use Gjallarhorn since I got the first one.
 
Tracking > non-tracking. I'm going to grab it just for completeness and it might end up being situationally useful at some point.

If you have hunger of crota or gjllarhorn and not a lot of coins I wouldn't bother though.

why not just look on reddit?

that way you don't need to waste time, tells you the location, what he's selling and someone usually posts a guide on what is good or not, etc

Usually games are more fun to play without using a guide for everything. I'm never home on a Friday morning to seek out Xûr for myself, so it makes a nice change rather than reading exactly where he is and what he's selling.

Is it worth me getting Dragons Breath? How does it compare to Hunger of Crota?

If you have a huge number of coins burning a hole in your pocket, go ahead. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. HoC is better than Doodoo Breath in pretty much every way. HoC tracks, DB doesn't. HoC has cluster munitions, DB doesn't. HoC allows you to have an exotic primary or secondary equipped, DB doesn't. The solar flare thing on DB doesn't last anywhere near long enough to be used as an effective area denial tool.

If they added proximity detonation and buffed the damage, it might be viable. In it's current state, it's just a toy for collectors and completionists.

Thank you. I guess I shall keep my 30 coins for another week :D Spent 7 on a ton of heavy ammo this week... Unsure whether to buy more or not...

Also, guys who raided with me last night, I've already upgraded my Raid gloves and shoes. The extra heavy ammo from the shoes is awesome!!

Our goal was to ease the difficulty for the least-completed strikes. In order to do this, we focused on the final boss encounters, which were fairly lengthy on higher tiers. We addressed this by reducing the strength for several of the major combatants. We also felt that the bosses themselves could use some tweaking. We reduced Valus Ta’Aurc’s health by a third and reduced the Psion Flayers’ shields by about 15%. We locked these changes after several playtests with the designers and feel that they bring these encounters in line with the rest of the Strikes.
These changes will arrive in a couple of weeks. We’ll be interested to hear what you think after you’ve had the chance to experience them for yourselves.
