Energy is strange - I find I keep flipping between having more than I know what to do with and being bone dry. Cody makes a good point about wasting energy on weapons you might not like. I've gotten into the habit of holding on to any energy I find for long stretches of time. I'll continue unlocking upgrade slots in all my weapons, but I won't actually purchase the upgrades until I'm 100% sure that weapon is worth the resources. Same with armor. I've got a bunch of upgrade slots unlocked on my Titan and Hunter, but I don't have the armor to get either character to 32 and I'm short on Radiant shards. So I'm waiting until I get a complete set of raid armor for either character; whichever one I get first, I'll put all my shards into that character so I can level then up.

I have 50 or so, which is more than I need - but I'm about 50 short on Ascendant Energy. That makes me sad.

You can easily waste energy on bad weapons… my advice is to make sure you REALLY want to level any given gun. That and run VoG 3x a week.

lol

I ran VoG for the second time last weekend. I think your playstyle and mine are far enough apart that I can't really take advice from you. :)

If nobody knows, I guess we'll find out what the ceiling is, if any.

I'll lol hard if somebody showed it to be capped at 3 digits.

Most resources split at 200 into a separate pile. Class-specific resources don't seem to have a ceiling. I think I have around 1,900 Hadronic Essences, and it's still one slot.

I have 325 ascendant shards on my titan.

I'm not sure it's actually bad, it's just not very versatile. The range is slightly above normal with the unique perk enabled, but in practice you still have to be within spitting distance to kill with it. I don't feel like it does enough to really distinguish the weapon from other shotguns. Running with a fusion rifle or sniper gives you a ranged option, but I think most people prefer primaries that can be used at any range (I like Universal Remote, but there are only a few encounters where I can realistically use it).

They ought to tune it so it behaves like the grimoire card suggests. Either have it switch to a single projectile when scoped, or a VERY tight grouping. I don't expect scout rifle range, but ideally it should be able to match an average hand cannon. The slower fire rate and VERY limited ammo capacity would still balance it out fairly, I think.

If you two would like a 3rd, I should be available tomorrow and I still need to do the nightfall on one character (my Titan). I can do either 360 or XBone.

It would have to be the 360 because I ain't got no money. I should be on from 8 PSTish to ???

They're really not intended to be run solo. Get in a fireteam with 2 people who don't suck!

Because they're hard, and I suck. :P

I'll be on all day and I still need this week's. Feel free to tag along and watch while I throw all these grenades.

Is there a limit to how many we can have saved up? (reply)

I agree, I don't have a solution to it. I think people complaining that non-DLC got an easier one is way better than non-DLC not being able to do it. Or buy from Xur, or have a chance at the little bit they still find fun in this game (which is why they run VoG).

Also why the hell are you not running the Nightfall? Doing the same strikes on normal difficulty is extremely boring to me, I would have stopped playing this game!

RaichuKFM — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:25:16 +0000

I have to say, while I agree with Korny more on the "this isn't that bad of a thing", I'm someone with the DLC who rarely runs Weeklies and still hasn't completed a Nightfall, so I don't really know.

However, I would absolutely agree with you that this discussion would go much smoother if people stop overusing hyperbole and making strawmen of the others.

ChrisTheeCrappy — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:19:45 +0000

Korny don't fucking put words in my mouth man. I have the DLC. I am complaining for the people who don't. As Cody stated, they can't do the weekly, nightfall and other stuff that is what you are supposed to do, because it's high level and is actually challenging? Did you even read the words I wrote?

BUT (reply)

RaichuKFM — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:09:18 +0000

No, I'm saying there's a reason your solution wouldn't be perfect, or was, in fact, stupid.

If they offered a bonus option for the weeks where it was DLC, available to everyone, that would be a good solution. But Bungie might not want to give that, so it's understandable (not necessarily agreeable) that they didn't do that.

Offering an option that DLC owners couldn't access, if that's what you meant, would be stupid.

Don't try and play off your mistake as one on Bungie's part, please.

If you were, instead, saying that the Weekly Heroics and Nightfalls should just work as a custom game set-up, where you pick the Strike and the modifiers and possibly only some configurations can offer Nightfall rewards each week, or something, you would actually have a point.
