their website is down so...lol.  Reddit has some info though.  Looks like you can get Power 400 armor easier now.  Maybe I can finally finish an Escalation Protocol!

Yeah the Solstice of Heroes info page is up.

400 armor from the event. 400 weapons from the prestige raid lairs only.

**Important**

You will not be able to infuse these trophies into existing gear. 

 

RIP to all the NON-raid players... but this is what everyone wanted right? RIGHT? RIGHT?

I think this is very important to note: there is literally no point to having 400 light level gear. The only situation where it would be useful is maxing out your power handicap multiplier on a prestige nightfall. So it's more like RIP to the NON-raid players who chase high scores in the Prestige nightfall. There are dozens of them. DOZENS. 

 

Edit: I'm dumb. It would also be good for spire of stars. I forgot it's 380.

I can see why dedicated players would be upset. As for me, I’m nowhere near the cap and will quickly shoot past 400 after forsaken so I ain’t mad...this time. 

the second part was more of a sarcastic post tbh... people are already complaining that they wont be able to get to 400 without raiding... I mean I'm sure the only activity that you are going to need to be 400 is going to be the prestige raid.. so people that dont play raids dont really need to worry.

Apparently, unless they come back like trump and said they mis-spoke....

Absolutely. I hate the pandering to casuals. I should have better gear because I put the time into the Raids.

$9.99 (feel sorry for the people that actually paid $89.99 for this, ouch!)

I think it looks cool but man are the reviews savage. Among the critiques is the complaint that it feels cheap. So not even worth it for $10!

Among other things, it is terrible at standing on its own. There's no support base, so it just teeters on those 2 small bits at the bottom. The reviews really are brutal.

Going through the campaign on PC has been interesting. Ghost is especially stupid since I don’t have previous characters. He asks questions like “What’s a warmind?” And “Who are the Taken?” as I encounter them for the first time.

Oh I agree, I was being sarcastic. I just find it ironic that the people that started complaining right away(this is mostly reddit posts I read) about not getting to 400 are the ones who refuse/can't do raids, but the only thing you need to be 400 right now is to play a raid.. i mean they really shouldn't worry.

Reading the full patch notes of 1.2.3 I hope the below change to IB control helps when playing with randos that still don't know how to play control.

 

Added new Power Play rules unique to Iron Banner: Upon capturing a third zone, all three zones lock for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, all three zones reset to neutral and must be recaptured.

Oh snap that is so good.  I still really prefer Zone Control over regular Control though............

As if you capture zones in IB.

I look forward to seeing how this thread is a month or so after release.

How does it feel? Looking from the outside, not worrying about Destiny? I still hope you will pull an @Anzo one day and go from not playing to playing both on PS4 and PC...

Having been on both sides now, it just moved to another game as my “addiction game”. In my case it was Hearthstone. Sure there was a little more time for the backlog but that game became the one nagging for my attention. I quit that 2 months ago and look where I am now! ?

 

Being back has been nice so far because I’ve mostly been playing solo and progressing at a steady pace. We will see how this holds up once I hit the 340 wall and can only progress through the weekly stuff. Playing solo I can play in the mornings before the kids get up or as late as I want after they are in bed. No need to coordinate schedules to raid or piss my wife off by playing for the entire night, as much as I’d like to do Leviathan at least once before Forsaken. Most of my nights are chalk full nowadays vs the D1 days however.

Same, hard for me to coordinate raid nights now.  I've only done the raid maybe 2 or 3 times with PS4 crew.  For PC I don't even know how that will be possible since my PC is in my bedroom and i'm sure the wife will be pissed talking on the headset at night while she's trying to sleep.  I'll probably have to finally finish my office that is currently invaded by the kid's toys and move the PC there.

lol.. I barely have the will to do it for myself!

I actually watched the video after posting that. @eggydoodescribed it perfectly. The two least favorite challenges combined into one. ?

 

Looks like you should probably be maxed out power level as well.
