Iron Banner wouldn't have been for another three hours anyways, so this time it ain't as bad.

Stocking up on heavy ammo synth. Makes strikes, etc relevant for strange coins. Quickest way to level up factions. Im getting all I can from Xur, Variks, and Eris.

We'll be able to infuse all current gear to new max light level. So any god rolls I'm looking for are still worth grinding.

Exotic engrams galore. Also saving all house banners, beads, etc in the vault. Extra money to go along with my 25K and 200 marks.

Anyone have any other tips? Please share them here. Im taking an early day from work on release day, and off the following day since it doesn't launch until 1EST.

Can run VoG/Crota fairly quickly each week to stock up on shards and energies which you can trade the speaker for glimmer.

Raid launches the Friday after release, so get ready for the 3 day grind. So much fun. Not much time for crucible until after the raid grind tho

Got one character to rank five, not sure if I will bother with the others. Got a pointless 334 chest piece that I already had and as335 obv., some things barely ever change. Gotta leave at 5am tomorrow for Barcelona lol.

Welp, got all three characters to rank three with about one hour to spare. Another Nirwen's with increased stability for the collection.

Stoked for a new raid and Private Matches. Sounds like the new raid will be a little bit faster paced than Kings Fall which is a good thing IMO. Obviously Crota was a little too fast, but KF was a little too slow for me personally.

Getting my dudes to 335 - this is easier than it sounds because infusion is now 1:1 instead of a reduced value - and getting some of the "I never bothered to do this" stuff out of the way before RISE OF IRON.

Also trying to get the PvP CHOPS back.

Getting PUMPED.

PRIVATE MATCHES. 2+2 RUMBLE. A new raid that isn't reallllllllllllllly boring!

It feels like they have either nurfed stuff or the level of play has gone down. I was destroying in Iron Banner, got to level 5 in essentialy 3 sessions. That has never happened.

Variance in IB.

Sometimes you run into full fire teams that play well, other times it's 6 rando pve players.

Thanks for nothing Bungie, Xur selling TLW officially turns Crucible into a piece of **** with no potential of joy at all.

You could by year 2 TLW and upgrade it from the iPad on the wall by 3 trainer dudes, Xur selling stuff at 280 is kind of stupid to begin with.

What's the crucible meta right now?

Thinking of jumping back in for RoI. Anybody from the old crew playing still or thinking of firing up again?

We fired it up a bit last week.

The PVP meta is actually a ton different. Tons of scout rifles, not just pulse rifles everywhere. Last word is still popular, sniping is popular.

It seems like in general guns are way more balanced and you can do well with a lot of different things now.

Shotguns are still big.

I used to really suck with hand canons and pulse rifles, but thankfully picked up Eyasluna and Nirwens Mercy with decent perks and balance. Doesn't mean I don't suck anymore, just not as much. Even had my first sniper kill in crucible, had forgotten that I didn't switch weapons. #lol

I'll be surprised if anyone from the usual crew doesn't jump back in for RoI.

And the Sparrow. I am also off for one week upon launch. Too bad it won't last long as there are quite some upcoming events in the last three months of the year. Damn you real life.

It's pretty much pointless and incredibly tilting to run anything but Clash in Crucible these days as solo player. People have no idea how to play the game types anymore, or you consistently run into full teams that just want to **** around.
