I know it's been addressed numerous times before, but damn the power level grind is tiresome.

100%
They have to be gearing up to move away from it. There's literally no reason for power level anymore. Look at all the activities that cap your power so that you're always underleveled.

The power caps and I'm sorry I'm going to whine about this again: The nerfing is getting old. Really old.

I went into Spire with a void build that gave me more invisibility that bought me some time where I'm starting to get some things down. Staying alive is the biggest problem because of all the splash damage and so forth.

Yeah the splash damage is rough.
They really need a solo activity that has a good chance of rewarding enhancement prisms and rarely, but possibly, ascendant shards. It shouldn't just be grinding vendors to rank 16, high level NF's or Trials with a 7-win card.
Something like a Master Lost Sector, but not necessarily a lost sector. As is, I think having Lost Sectors be a way to farm exotic armor is a good thing that should stay. Only thing I'd like to see improved there is sometime of inventory item where you could put in the exotic armor piece you want to target farm it. So, when it's helm day, you can throw in a Cowl and farm that instead of getting knucklehead radar and foetracer. It's still not guaranteed at the end of the sector, but when you do get one, it'll be the one you want and if the stats are no good just keep farming for it.
Of course, that wouldn't be necessary if we could just get some Glass Needles in this game.
Nevertheless, some new solo only activity that drops prisms and sometimes shards would be nice.
I've got too many armor pieces I'd like to masterwork and no materials to do it.

^^ That, 100 percent. I've learned how to have a shortlist of "preset" armors and just be a skin flint about it. That's one of numerous systems way, way overdue for refinement.

Seraph station secret mission: I loved it. Well worth it.
Continued API issues and no DIM is brutal, though.

Yeah no DIM until sometime next week at the earliest. Rough.

Spire RNG hates me. I can't do solo but thankfully if I'm with good teams we can do it in 30 minutes or so. Is Master worth attempting before having the weapon to "raise my chances" or not worth it except for catalyst attempt?

I don't think it would be worth it until going for the catalyst.

It was great to finally connect and play with you guys last night.
As ever: If any of you see me in the game send me a fireteam invite.

New Iron Banner mode is trash.

I'm not feeling the new IB mode either. It's serviceable. I'm getting it done and all but I definitely prefer regular/classic IB.
The RNG for Spire is hideous. I somehow doubt if I pulled off a miracle and finished it solo and went in with a team and beat it on Master that somehow magic would happen and I finally land that exotic bow.
I've probably run it a good dozen or so times by now and I've about had it. That bow can't be that good. Once a day at most is all I'm doing now of that thing.
I'm seeing talk and probably rumors based on leaks (grain of salt) that Bungie may be looking at premium monthly service? $5.99 a month or some such?
There is just no friggin' way. If I pay that it means I get expedited service to Raid gear and all kinds of other amenities that go beyond reason. In other words it ain't happening.

Finally got that bow to drop out of Spire. Now I have to try Master to get the catalyst. That will be a hoot.

I don't see a subscription happening. They essentially already have one anyway. $100 a year, more if you want Event cards and other cosmetics.
Congrats on the bow. Still need it, still need the helmet and class item too. Have only had one red frame weapon drop too.
Gotta get my solo flawless in. I was close last time, only died to the fans. A shame because when I first did the dungeon solo, I did so blind and breezed right through that section. Now I know the path and somehow F it up.
Going to do it on Xbox I guess though, don't trust my PS5 to not overheat and crash while trying it.

It was tooooough sailing but I did finish the Master with a solid team of randoms and got the catalyst for the bow. It's a pretty sweet weapon.

Saw your invite Q, but was trying for a solo flawless. Got screwed on heavy ammo at the boss. Just would not drop any ammo.
Ammo should not be a problem. If they can't make bricks drop, bring back the synths. Retarded system.

Hierarchy of Needs with the catalyst is an incredible weapon and arguably one of the strongest in the game at present. It's special when you fire the arrows through the guidance ring that you can constantly generate simply by making precision shots.
...Until the inevitable nerf comes along.

I still need to get the weapon.
Haven't played Destiny since a little bit on Tuesday though. I know its not widespread, but enough people have had their last played character deleted that I don't wish to risk it. Mainly because it seems to happen when people get error coded when logging in, and every time I log in and select a character before I even get to orbit I get "contacting Destiny servers."
The odds are low, sure. But I just don't want to take the chance.
