Damn RNGesus has been trolling me lately. I ran the Nightfall strike with all three of my characters and got three scout rifles... this game hates me. Why you no give me Hawkmoon Destiny?
I got Ascendant Energy on all of the events and the part of Vault of Glass that led up to Atheon. I pretty much gave up there because I knew I was wasting my time at that point. 
First - nice haul. Wish I could get that lucky.
Second - where did you read about Etheric Light rates in specific activites? The only thing I have seen has been general statements that we can get EL from Iron Banner, PoE, Trials of Osiris, and the NIghtfall Strike. If EL only starts to drop at the lvl 32 playlist of PoE, I will be pretty ticked, as that means for PvE activities, EL will only be made available to those in non-matchmaking activities, and none of my friends still play Destiny.
Same Here.
ProfessorBroman said on his stream yesterday that it has a chance to drop from the 32 arena.
There's also the following images of the Prison of Elders activity overview,

Etheric Light isn't just for old gear, since you'll need it for the new Vanguard/Crucible legendary gear (that's capped at 36 light, not 39 or 42). Not sure about the new weapons.
If you're on PS4, you're more than welcome to join my clan mates and I. Our numbers have dwindled since The Dark Below came out, too, but some of us are still active and, of course, really looking forward to House of Wolves. Same goes for anyone else here looking to play Destiny with good, helpful players.
My enthusiasm for the House of Wolves just went straight down the toilet. I keep telling myself that Bungie will learn from their past mistakes but they seem to be very slow to learn and adapt. The Prison of Elders was supposed to give those of us who could not participate in the Raids ( due to the lack of match making ) an alternative end game activity but they obviously screwed that up before it even got out of the gate.
Since i own the Deluxe version of Destiny I will be picking up House of Wolves since I payed for it already but Bungie wont be getting any more money out of me with regards to this game.

Thanks for the invite, but I'm on xbone (and since my previous post I went ahead and joined a DoD clan).
And yeah, not gonna lie - that is a pretty big kick in the junk. I thought PoE was supposed to be the end-game PvE content for people who couldn't raid (and more specifically, the way for us non-raiders to get max level gear)? I mean, I get that the highest level(s) of PoE will demand a pre-made fire team, like the nightfall, but locking all the max-level loot & upgrades behind the "no matchmaking" wall AGAIN is just......why, Bungie? Why??

So apparently I wasn't the only person thinking PoE was built up to be or hinted to be the end game for those of us who can't raid due to the lack of pre-made fire teams.
I mean, I went ahead and used a third party site to sign up for a (hopefully like-minded) clan, but that shouldn't be a requirement to ever be able to access the full game. I don't mind them locking most of the highest level end-game stuff behind the matchmaking wall - I totally get it, but it doesn't make sense for most of PoE to have this restriction, and especially not the levels that drop the end-game loot and materials.
If that is the only way to get the gear/mats from PoE, then Bungie just made sure I'm playing Witcher 3 and ignoring HoW for months. I can understand the highest levels requiring a fireteam, but why should anyone bother with the matchmaking version if all they're going to get for their trouble are rewards that don't allow them to progress?
They can't stop shooting themselves in the foot and they've got a Thorn.
For those complaining about no matchmaking in 32/34/35 arenas,
Skip to the 4:13 mark. Super relevant point at 5:59. Honestly, he has a point. Does he not have a point? I think he has a point.
For the record, do I think there should still be a matchmaking option? Heck yeah. For the above reasons alone, yes. It makes sense to have matchmaking in everything. But! just think back to any time you've had an idiot teammate on your team two idiot teammates on your team. It sucks. No, not only does it suck, but it's also distracting. Rarely in that scenario am I in the "lone wolf" state of mind, so not only am I not prepared to solo something, I'm then starting to internally rage about how bad my teammates are instead of concentrating on clutching it out. Then I'm overwhelmed, we wipe, and I blame my teammates. Then they leave, because they realize playing with randoms is a waste of their time and they're too arrogant to be convinced otherwise. Then I'm kind of fucked since there's no progress saving in Prison of Elders and there's no way I can solo the rest by myself. Or maybe I can, so I try... nope, I can't.
No matchmaking =/= Bungie telling you to go **** yourself. Or not necessarily. They're really just telling you to acquaint yourself with others that play the game, too. And why wouldn't you want that?
Fun related fact here: none of my friends played ME3's multiplayer. I met someone in Bronze that I ended up playing over 300+ hours with. I met even more people by simply having my mic on and asking at the end of a game if I could add them onto my friends list. Granted, that might be a bit harder to do in Destiny, I know, but it's worth noting that there are thousands of people on Bungie's forums every day that will want to play the game with you, or at the very least want to accomplish the same thing as you.
I completely understand why the highest levels of any PvE activity require pre-made fireteams - I really do. The strategy required to complete things like raids demands a level of teamwork not seen in other games.
My gripe is with bungie appearing to lock away all max level gear and max level upgrade materials behind the no-matchmaking wall again. There should at least be a chance for those of us who, most of the time, will only be able to play the match-made level of PoE to get some of the top-end loot.....and right now that doesn't appear to be the case.
Like you, while playing other games (Forza, BF) I have met randoms that I ended up e-friending and logging tons of hours with. But Destiny is different in that quite a bit of the end-game content is not something your average fireteam can blow through in short chunks of time (10-15 min start to finish) - raids can take hours, and based on the livestream of PoE, that appears to take quite some time to clear as well. For those of us with limited playtime any given night, that makes finding a random player to latch onto as a long-term teammate much more difficult than in, say, Forza, where you and an online buddy can knock out a race or two in 15 minutes then go your separate ways. I've got little ones in the house, and I work a normal 9-5, so I can only play in short spells most nights while trying to get them down to bed (and keep them there).
I've got no gripe with bungie locking away the toughest challenges behind the no-matchmaking wall, but to keep locking the top-end loot behind that same wall is sort of an insult to those of us who give all our limited game-time to their product. All I am asking for is a chance.....a chance to get some EL and upgrade my non-raid gear (since I can't raid) to max level.
Toying with the idea of making an Awoken in time for HoW. That, and I wouldn't mind a second Warlock to have around so I can do double the grind in half the time!

So, what would you do at LL34?
DestinyLFG.com, Use it.
Yes, what a wonderful tool to use. If you're not matched up with a 14-year-old kid who talks incessantly, it's a domineering jackass who barks orders at you like a drill instructor.

That's why you kick them.
Most of the raids I'm in we're pretty silent. Don't talk much. I've only been in around what? Five or six that I've had problems out of the dozens of times I've raided. But I play on the xbox 360 so things may be different on your system.
No, I don't think I will. I stay away from their forum.DestinyLFG.com, Use it.
You can also join PlanetDestiny's forums. There's people that play on all four systems and it's a calm, relaxed forum. Everything is kept civil.
That sounds better, lol I remember the first time I visited Bnet... it gave me eye herpes. I'm pretty damn crude, but God damn they take it to a whole nother level.You can also join PlanetDestiny's forums. There's people that play on all four systems and it's a calm, relaxed forum.

Bungie.net forums are a disaster. I don't like the way they're designed, and the community sucks.
Me and my fellow Lords of the Iron Banner are going to destroy PoE.
They need to hurry up and let us know if a post-start appearance changer mechanic is in place.
If it is, I can make an Exo Warlock just for the Dance alone lol, then my Human main Warlock can get the blue treatment *_*
I did a thing and it was glorious!
No matter what I do, can't link the gif directly to here lol
So, anyone been running the ethereal chest exploit? Not going to lie, I have. I don't have a single empty space on all three of my characters and my vault is at max capacity. Haha, poor Rahool's head is going to explode Tuesday morning.
Been doing that since yesterday with a group that I know (unfortunately most of my clan aren't on Destiny much these days) - aside from the metric-crapton of blue engrams, I've managed to find 7 Treasure Keys and 11 legendary engrams (2 primary weapon, 1 special weapon, 3 heavy weapon, 1 helmet, 1 chest, and 2 class item). Also went and got my Passage Coins (for Trials of Osiris) from a few Skirmish matches as well.
