Run of good luck continued with legendary auto rifle 'For the people' out of a blue engram from the Iron Banner. Looks ok apart from a smallish clip, but a couple of minutes before I'd got new gloves from IB vendor having hit level 4 - went for the ones with speed reload for Auto Rifles, lol

Now completed, sniped my way to completing this tough challenge. Now for some shotgun fun

Up to 452 points , so excited to get this done Except I've got it to do all over again with my hunter as well ( tempted to not bother)

Raid tonight would be hood but can we do normal mode, rather get something than nothing

Thanks for the advice guys. So this is what happened: Upgraded Light Beyond Nemisis, figured why not as I had a shard and loads of glimmer Bought Obsidian Mind, leaving me just me needing 9 coins to find to get Symbiotic. Thanks to Gary and Diddums (well Gary mainly, sorry Dids) got my Warlock through the weekly mid tier for 6 coins. Then no luck at all rest of the night After a deep 3 hours sleep got back on and ran some Roc strikes to get engrams , got 9 , no coins, but Cryptarch ranked up so got one coin out of package engrams With time running out on Xur the RNG gods finally smiled on me. Warlock pulls off a gold tier warsat defence on Moon, gets one blue engram. This turns into a coin, and my daily event package gives me the one I need. Result, got Symbiotic with 40 minutes left, phew. Thanks for the help Gary and Dave

I'm close to finishing the PvP phase of this, hopefully today , so would be well up for teaming up as soon as that is done

Sounds like we got 4 if stretch makes it, so let's hope we get a couple more

I'm likely to shard some sun breakers shortly. My plan is that by having helmets as exotics it's easier to change to the correct exotic if I change class, don't have to remember as much stuff that way Very tempted by Obsidian, especially as I have bad juju bounty to finish off

Edit, didn't mention Glasshouse - difficult to justify given defender already covered, but maybe its the dogs bollocks? Certainly looks good

I've never really thought much about the armour I use and didn't really twig til a conversation with Gary yesterday that different exotic helmets should go on different sub-classes. I was quire happy just taking the base stats and not worrying too much about the perks, but now my eyes are open I'm thinking I'm going to need to build up my exotic helmet collection. So I'm looking for a bit of help and advice on what to do from this point. I'm going to want to have a decent helmet for each subclass and what I have got so far is: Hunter gunslinger: Nothing Hunter bladedancer: Mask of the 3rd Man (basic model) Titan striker: Nothing Titan defender: Helm of Saint-14 (upgraded) Warlock sunsinger: Light beyond nemesis (basic model) - I say sunsinger but really its a bit more general than specific Warlock voidwalker: nothing So Xur is hanging around for a few more hours, I've got enough strange coins to buy one helmet, possible two if I pushed my warlock through the weekly heroic (mid-level) and get lucky on engram exchanges. I've got exotic shards and glimmer and there's a few options, so just looking for input and advice on what to do. What Xur has would fill the gaps on both the gunslinger and voidwalker classes, (Achlyophage Symboite and Obsidian Mind) but would you guys consider them the best in class - I'm leaning towards Obsidian Mind a bit as Voidwalker is the one sub-class I really haven't worked on much so would be nice to have this to hand, but would I be mad to miss out on Symboite, maybe I need to try for both? Also I could upgrade light Beyond Nemisis, but it seems a bit meh, so maybe not worth the exotic shard? Any help gratefully accepted!

Unusually I'm going to be on all night (and tomorrow) and was hoping to get some raiding in - anyone up for it Don't mind what we do, just want to RAID

White dwarf, me too. Small world

I might have to do the same

Its an awesome game, the strategy side works really nicely and the real time battles can be fantastic. My favourite was Medieval Total War, they got a bit more complicated after that

I've got 2 icebreakers! Not sure what to do about obsidian mind. TBH I don't often pay that much attention to anything other than light level and intelligence/strength/discipline rating. Is their a good guide anywhere on best exotic for each subclass?

Damn need 2 more coins for another icebreaker and obsidian mind, need to run the weekly with my warlock I think, help needed!

I'm tempted to buy two !

Icebreaker is here, no joking!

Wow, loved total war medieval and shogun, played them loads but don't have a PC that would cope with the new ones anymore. This would be awesome

What's a bit worrying in grinding this is that the iron banner bounties don't seem to be resetting on a daily basis. Hope I'm wrong but I'm sure they didn't reset from Tuesday to Wednesday. That's going to make levelling hard

Got to 140 points for the thorn challenge after a couple of hours play yesterday, level advantages helped as I got in a lobby with a bunch of 25's at one point and was destroying. Going sniper (preadeths revenge) and LMG at the moment. Works better on some maps than others, so will swap the sniper for a fusion rifle at times. Typically just finding a nice vantage point to snipe B, and keep an eye on the clock to be nicely positioned for heavy ammo. Not so sure about unleashing my warlock on the iron banner though, at level 25 it's tempting to just grind for better gear but can imagine getting my ass kicked a lot

I'm 30, was doing ok, all depends on which lobby I hit though. I don't do much crucible , iron banner & bounty challenge is a double incentive for me to stop shooting aliens. However I will bare in mind level advantages, hadn't thought about that, might be need to choose lobbies a bit more carefully

Can your 12 year old son finish my thorn bounty for me please. One step forward two steps back on that PvP mission, although trying to get it done in iron banner

I'm hoping to be on Saturday and Sunday night so would be great to get in in this. Flawless sounds easy (fell off the map the other day whilst doing hard mode with randoms)

Great to get 2 nightfalls and 2 weekly's done yesterday, got a nice new solar sniper (which I needed) and a solar shotgun
