I wonder if there will be something along the lines of "Participated in every Iron Banner event." Might be one of the few I don't get to fill in.

Age of Triumph... Defenders Titans not invited?
Looks like each class page has a circle for killing things with your Super. The Titan's Iron Will page has the Superstar objective that reads: "Defeat enemies with your Super abilities as a Titan."
Bungie can track things like getting kills while buffed by Ward of Dawn but they almost never have. Historically, Defenders simply couldn't complete bounties that required Super kills, for instance. More recently, like only post Rise of Iron, they sometimes track Ward of Dawn activations as two Super kills.
I wonder if Defenders get any credit for this one.

Defenders are not a real subclass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- No text -

Sounds like a blast
Pretty excited for this, should be a lot of fun.
*Edit: Except for the part where I need to do a painful vault cleaning before playing. And the fact that it's being released a month before I take my PE exam.

Node to kill all the gorgons.
That should be interesting and fun

I wonder if it has to be in the 390LL raid.
Won't be much of a challenge if we can go back to the old school raid with a bunch of 400 gear and stomp them all.

Care to try tonight after Aksis? :)

Looking forward to being let down
In the third stream when they tell us how they've destroyed previously fun weapons.

Spoilers?

I'm down :)

But They Respawn, WTF!?
And then each one has a longer and longer period of immunity!

I'm With Kermit.
That act of kindness was touching and sweet, but I don't want to be coughing up blood in order for people to do stuff with me.
If people are going to carry me to Mercury, it'll be out of pity and annoyance,not the goodness of their hearts.

Speaking Of...

Even That's Glitched.
Last night, me you and Robber on the Nightfall. I got the Warding Dawn medal(kill multiple enemies while suped by a bubble)...while dead.
Now I know proximity counts for kills and such, but I wasn't buffed when I got killed.

But They Respawn, WTF!?
If Bungie makes no changes to the current Gorgons, each member of the fireteam will have to solo kill a Gorgon at the same time. They then have 30 seconds to kill the remaining 2 Gorgons before they become immune. With the shift to 390 light, I suspect they'll change up the mechanics to make it easier - either remove the immunity or respawn.
I suspect they'll also shake up their locations and pathing, just to screw with us :)

Not necessarily
If people are going to carry me to Mercury, it'll be out of pity and annoyance,not the goodness of their hearts.
There's a bunch of twitch streamers who do Lighthouse Virgin carries out of the kindness of their heart. No money/donation requirements.
https://www.twitch.tv/rockywrecks
Will typically do lighthouse virgin runs on the weekends.

They don't ever become immune with enough firepower
Unless something's changed. We once killed them all and then they started respawning iirc.
Anyway, your strategy is definitely the best one. A countdown and then a gyllenhaal + shotgun, or sword or something if you're weird, and a knowledge of where the other two are to team blast them.

But let's be honest: might as well pay.

I'm not going to argue with that
It sucks that it's a piece of content that the majority of players will never be able to achieve on their own.
For $20 you can probably find someone to carry you to the lighthouse.

I'm not going to argue with that
Yeah it does blow. Now to me, the achievement means almost nothing. As in, getting to the lighthouse legit. We did it, so it's very easy to say this as someone who's lighthoused before. I would have just cared about the check mark. I wanted the adept gun, and I wanted the grimoire.
Now, if I was someone like coldairfilter, who spends literally 8 hours per day every weekend (5 on Friday, closer to 10 on Sat and Sunday), trying to get there just to have done it for 15 months, I'd mow a couple lawns, say "Tim, here's $20. Pay this guy on paypal to carry me." It's 4 hours of work versus 20 for the week. He does want to be carried, because every time I go over there, he tells me a story about how he begged people to carry him and one promised to do that. Every time. He never goes because he never pays them, and he's frustrated and upset at the end of the night, storming into the living room pouting while I watch The Simpsons and eat my parents' steak.
That's insanity. If I were in his position, I'd have dropped the $20 and just gotten that shit done. Some morons are really good and play the game basically for a living. In much the same way I can't change my break calipers without a ton of trouble, or in the way I literally can't change a clutch, I buy the part and pay some guy at a garage to do it for me.
The car has a need to continue functioning, but a lot of guys really really really want to go, and to those who can't, just pay the damn experts. Life's too short.
I don't think Kermit or Morpheus are in the really really really want camp, but if someone here feels the need to get an emblem or a gun or the grimoire, don't feel bad. Pay a streamer.
EDIT: What my real question was, when I asked what the point was, was if you don't need the flawless trip to complete the page, why the hell is it even in there? Just dump it. If they don't think people can get a wrecking ball, why is it even in there?

I'm not going to argue with that

It's there so that people who have done it can see a circle filled in and get a little shot of dopamine to make them feel good.

I'm not going to argue with that
In all fairness, the achievement meant nothing as soon as I got to the Lighthouse on my very first attempt despite being god-awful at the game.

Was that with me?
- No text -

Don't think so.
I mean, you didn't make it there for a year, right?

It was. Good times unoudid getting screwed out of lighthouse
- No text -

I didn't because I forgot to buy boons. was that with you?
- No text -

Which time?
- No text -

Doubt it.
I wouldn't try a lighthouse run with someone dumb enough to not buy boons.
Just like I wouldn't do a complicated exotic quest with someone dumb enough to turn it in early and almost fuck the other two over.

I'm shockingly stupid

I'd much rather do it with Team DBO, but I'd have to SOLIDLY earn a few dern-near guaranteed RSVP's well in advance--I work every single Friday and Saturday, and nobody's on Sunday. I can only ask for one Friday/Saturday off per job, and I don't want to waste it sitting in orbit looking at an FTB with (1).
If that's the case, then paid or not, it would be a good idea to ask a streamer pro.

Right, but how much of it is cool shit, and how much is grind or rng? Gathering exotic weapons has no place in an achievement book whenthat is literally not under your control.

The whole idea of a "record book" seems a little odd to me, at least in the way Destiny presents them. Isn't the entire game a record book? I completed VoG, I know I did--do I need to see a UI element fill in to really get something out of it?
I'm not shit talking talking it, or trying to belittle anyone who's into it. I just don't understand the drive to fill out a record book--I guess it's just not for me.

tl;dw, it's Destiny's biggest record book EVER.
You once again devalue the elements in your game when you turn it into a checklist. See the lighthouse discussion in this very thread.

In the first SRL event, it kinda made sense because the game's UI didn't otherwise have a good way to communicate the kind of info you might want to track during that event (although I think making people buy the book was a bit of a dick move, but whatever).
But when it comes to the other record books, they rub me the wrong way because their very inclusion is Bungie doubling down on their arbitrary grind design philosophy. If Bungie wanted to provide rewards for non-grind-related activities, they already have a way to do that: quests. You get an icon on the map, go do the mission, claim your reward. The only real use for record books is tracking repetition. Do 50 strikes, win 50 PvP games, etc. (The quest system can convey this information as well, but less efficiently). I'm sure Bungie will include some
none-repetitive milestones in the new book as well, just to pad it out. But repetitive tasks are what the book is all about.
So basically it's yet another way to try and get people to spend more time with the game than the content might earn on its own.

Mine comes from hard drugs.

It can also be seen as a way for people to find things to do in the game. If you have a strong community, or you read blogs, or whatever they might let you know about things to do, but there should be an in-game resource for this. I totally understand if people think that it should be more "themed" to be in-world or more character driven, but for a game the size of Destiny, there should be something. (Bounties ARE serving the same if not a very similar purpose.)
