    Not even Halo 5 has teared me away from it, although judging from the first few levels of that game that I've played, I'm not missing much.

      [MENTION=200]bcass[/MENTION] I was comparing sales of TTK to earlier sales of TTK, not sales of original Destiny!

        Ah, fair enough.

          I'm losing so much sleep to this game it is going to kill me. Trying the hard raid for the first time tomorrow.

          BTW - Anyone struggling for groups on PS4, some spots opened up in the100.io group i'm in.

          We are just a bunch of grown-ups still acting like kids. We are out to have fun and conquer the hardest parts that Destiny has to offer while doing it. It has been rumored that we may even like to have a drink while playing... You just never know. If that sounds like you, join up and let's start bustin' some alien Cabal's!

            I've shelved it until the next DLC. I've grown a little tired of raiding over and over in hope of getting 320 drops. I should do the Haloween challenge I guess though. Whilst Oryx is way better than Crota, it's still nowhere as good as VoG was IMO.
            Kept you waiting, huh?

              I'm still enjoying this over a year after release. I don't have a regular fireteam for raids because of the times I play and family etc so I'm being left behind a little now in terms of light level.
              Just finished another normal oryx and got jack again from it! Unless I pick up some higher gear I'll never be welcome into hard mode from all the elitist lfg groups. "Must be 315 with spindle etc".
              It's like the "must have ghally" all over again ha ha.
              Done most of the Halloween masks, just need to pick up a tiger mask to complete the final quest.

                Hard mode hasn't been out for more than two weeks and you expect to be anywhere near 320 yet?! On the plus side, the hard mode seems to be a lot more generous with drops - that's 310+ drops, not just the normal mode + hard mode drops combined. Planning ahead on what to infuse, and when, has become something of a mini-game itself now.

                  Any tips for getting the higher level items ?

                  Been trying out all the modes...salvage was annoying in that if we got behind people seemed to leave. Also not a fan of the way loot is dished out at the end of matches think should be performance based

                    Don't do crucible if you expect loot. Or, in fact do, just stand there and get shot every match and no doubt you'll get an exotic. Crucible loot is a joke.

                    Court of oryx high levels maybe?

                      What light are you at present?

                      Court of Oryx Tier 2 and 3 (using your runes), Heroic Strikes (first each week per character guarantees a legendary engram), Nightfall Strike (now includes potential 300+ gear drops), general Strike farming (there's a buff that increases legendary engram drop chance the more you play consecutively without going to orbit), Three of Coins for exotics, buy engrams from Xur when he sells them (NOT legacy engrams!), and King's Fall raid (normal 300-310 gear, hard 310-320 gear).

                      There are some specific items you can also get at high light...Touch of Malice scout drops at 310 (complete the Hunger quests), a 310 artifact from Eris (complete Taken War quests and the raid).

                      Edit...And Trials will seemingly have some high light loot too.

                          Until Hard Mode was released, I was already doing the same thing to reach 310, now it's just been lengthened. I have little much to do outside of raiding, so it's become a little mundane for me now. I'll come back after I've finished with MGSV, but I'm burnt out currently.

                            Zur has the zhalo supercell today along with some other nice stuff

                              Burnt out as well. Did everything and have every exotic weapon except for No time to explain (still have to do Atheon for it but I can't really bother). And I don't have the Skyburner helmet yet. And 2 swords but you're not supposed to get them on a single toon. Oh, I even have the full Neuroghast set which is PS exclusive.

                              The difference to 1.0 and level 30 is that I have no desire to chase 320 (and I doubt its possible without a 320 artifact?) or something close to it. The Raid Weapons are not my thing and I infused a bit of them, so there isn't much reason to do HM for me. There isn't a Vex or Timepiece or something exclusive like it in the HM Raid. All you're doing is chasing numbers from there. I got a 310 Telesto, Graviton and some others which is nice but not needed. Exotics can't drop higher than that, which is understandable I guess.

                              But its actually shocking how close this level system is to the original flawed concept now. You're juggling gear to reach a certain level, even if it means you have to equip a worse weapon or gear you don't even like. With Etheric light, you could say 'ok, I'll infuse this, this and that.' And EL wasn't RNG, IB had 2 per char and PoE a few per week too. Now you have to pray RNG for a drop with high light so you can infuse. Thats the main draw, just hope for a 320 drop of a crappy Raid AR to infuse into your Hung Jury.

                              But TTK has been fun, it never really felt like a grind or lottery until you want to reach 310. I must've sank some 120 hours into it which is good value for money. And I never touched my alts nor I felt the need to.

                                Im curious, how many hours have you guys pumped into TTK so far to rinse every bit of content it has, barring the ridiculous grind for 310-320.
