As many developers have found in the the past. Never give the community what they want. As it never pans out well. Private matches will only ever be fully used by the hard core and never at all by the main player base like myself. They should have just held off in introduced private and custom matches in Destiny 2.

Had an interesting game of Iron Banner last night against somebody using an absolutely filthy build.

No backup plans on a titan with Universal remote. In order for the build to work, you need your melee charge active whenever you get a shotgun kill, so when paired with Tier 5 strength it makes it so that you effectively gain the overshield with every shotgun kill. And that overshield even managed to make him immune to the first hit with blade dance. Ridiculous build.

I'm off to go copy it :D

Started IB last night. Four games played, top of my team in every one, and even top overall score in one game. Lost all 4 games.
On a positive note, now that I'm 330 Light (vs 320 Light in the last IB) I can finally feel that I'm making a difference and not getting one-shotted all the time.

Got my Iron Banana grind done in one game..... Hand cannon dropped for me after the first match with a decent enough roll.

Excellent now I don't have to not enjoy playing more IB.. :D

What was the roll?

Somewhat middle of the road but feels nice to use:

Truesight IS
Triple Tap
Smallbore
Mulligan

Only used it in PVE (mainly running a scout, pulse or TLW in PVP) but it hits hard enough, has 10 in the mag (smallbore doesn't affect it at all) and I am not struggling to hit things at reasonable ranges (for a HC).

I would have preferred rifled barrel but I couldn't be bothered to grind out IB this time around to get one that has that and Truesight / Sureshot IS.

Just got back into this, after a few months.

I'm currently light level 308...what should I be doing to level up? The raid? CoE?

My ghost shell is really dragging me down right now, but no idea if there is a specific way to target new shells.

What do you need to do for the Y2 Moments of Triumph?

I've done all the KF challenges....wouldn't mine getting it finished some time, I assume it's just a challenge of elders run?

Bad timing there; I find Iron banner drops a few 335 ghost shells when you've hit rank 5, I got two at 335 and a couple at 334 last night, not forgetting the guaranteed 320 in the rank 5 package. Of course it's over just about now!

Being billy no mates, I've never done a raid, and have all 3 characters at 335 thanks to the iron banner.

Is it Warpriest CM this week? Could do with getting a raid sorted out to get that last fragment.

When are you thinking? If I can make it I will have a run through.

CoE depends on the week, some weeks the final round is a challenge even at 320+. However it is guaranteed to drop one weapon and one armour so a decent way to level up. At 308 you could get through the first part of a hard mode raid too which should get you some nice drops to quickly up your level.

This weeks (well last weeks now) CoE (round 3) was hilariously easy to duo when 325+ (on PS4 with characters at 326/334), but was a nightmare to duo when only ~310 (Xbone with characters at 310/312).

MIDA was taking 3/4 crits to kill a single Psion and you could basically forget about killing Taken Phalanxes with your primary (specialist F.T.W....?). Neither of us had the luxury to simply switch to a harder hitting primary as we simply didn't have the choice (something I forget when switching between systems). It honestly felt like trying a yr 1 level 30 NF at level 28 with one person down....

Doh! I was rank 4 last night as well, couldn't be bothered carrying on as I was having a really bad night of it.

Raid resets today doesn't it? Might try and get a group tonight, at the very least I should be able to do the CoE to an extent.
