Were they terrible or too low a level?

Oh the heroic PE event issue isn't a me issue. I knew most of them before Forsaken and took the time to find out about the rest when I hit the Dreaming City. I think the only one I didn't know abut was the Gate Lord on Mercury. The issue is other players either not knowing or not giving a fuck. I mean you would think some of this stuff would be blatantly obvious to them like everyone but them shooting at the nodes during glimmer extractions, people picking up the damn arc charges when the tank is down, or hey look at those people on plates during Vex PE.

Apparently the Malfeasance boss will become even rarer when the Dreaming City isn't on its third week, most corrupted phase. JT, really lucked out on that one.

Honestly, I have so many Baryon Boughs that its nice to have something else to use them on. Those things are damn near everywhere in the Dreaming City. Far too many people I run into have no idea how turn public events heroic outside of the Taken. The ether one is just hard to pull off with any regularity.

Do you not know abut the skull merchants? One of them sells tinctures. They are even around the same area as this week's Ascendant Challenge. Actually the one you want to find also has an Ascendant chest next him this week as well.

So I assume then that you are totally soloing the Ascendant Challenge as well? To be fair that one is oddly enough far easier with the giant sword you get to use.

Honestly, just take a fireteam. That should make it so much easier.

I just beat the Gravetide Summoner. That was not easy. Its actually two bosses where you have to beat the core Ogre first. They do however throw you a bone and make the actual Summoner not too difficult outside of the usual wizard blasting bullshit. Got a prime engram from the core so I can't really complain. Training on the last part for Way of the Current. Have to say it me least favorite of the Forsaken Hunter sub classes. It really didn't get any significant change super wise, and the melee is annoying to hit. Feels like Hunters got screwed there.

Caught Death of Superman last night. Dug the hell out of it. Its definitely the most most I've enjoyed any of the New52 inspired animated movies. They did a good job adapting to things to the animated universe's settings.

I'm just pleased the cage match with JBL made it. Always loved that match.

When reading the Metal event I actually thought Keaton would work for the Batman Who Laughs.

Did not know about either of these. Sucks that I missed them. I had to run from the secret Taken boss in the first Dreaming City mission., but I probably could have taken on this one. Use the Crimson for Crucible.

I'm trying to recall, wasn't Brothers of Destruction and Bryan vs. the Shield on Smackdown? If so I'm surprised that wasn't the Shield match they chose.

I think I just had my best Gambit match so far. I had my highest number of guardian kills both as an invader and defending. Dealt the finishing blow to the Primeval both times. That last time in particular was so damn close to since the opposing team had just about killed theirs as well. Won two rounds in a row. And I settled all of my Gambit bounties including the weekly and the gear based one from the day before. This is such a nice feeling that I know will be crushed the next time I go into to Gambit so I'm just going to revel in it for a bit. Some updates from Bungie today. The important shit summarized: The Shattered Throne/Wish-Ender quest is time-gated and will only be available every three weeks when the curse in the Dreaming City is at it's worse like it is currently. The Sleeper Stimulant nerf hasn't actually happened yet. Masterwork cores will be renamed along with getting more sources for them at some point. Iron Banner bounty retirements are getting nerfed and being changed to give powerful gear when completed. The chance to get something from exotic drops will increase though it doesn't sound like the rate will. The Wish-Ender quest only coming every three weeks kind of sucks though it doesn't feel as hard as Whisper in the Worm is so I'm not complaining. I probably won;t even be at a LL decent enough for the quest for another two weeks. I actually might try for it the next time around. The Masterwork core thing is kind of annoying. Increasing the drop rate is nice, but the whole thing could just easily be fixed by not making them an infusion requirement outside of maybe exotics. I'm glad IB bounties will give powerful gear though I don't see reason the requirements need to be nerfed, and this is coming from someone who isn't super fond of Crucible/IB. I've been fine with exotic drop rates. Even the lack of Forsaken exotics haven't really bothered me. Still its nice that I may be able to get new shit more often.

Actually reflecting on it there isn't a proper Audience bounty this week. Not sure why since bounty for the offering itself is still there. It is how you get the third seed of light for sure. This s the norm for all of the daily bounties, isn't it? Also has anyone done Breakthrough yet? I was curious about it, but haven't checked it out yet.

Nope, that is it.

I'd probably be pushing most of the actual cooking on my older brother. Never dealt with kombu daishi or tare so that would be new to us. We've only made ramen twice though and neither ended up super great though the second one was ok.

Didn't do super well at Crucible with two victories and three losses. Still knocked the weekly so there is that. Went ahead and spent time in the Dreaming City doing the Blind Well. I ended up doing two Heroic Blind Well and amazingly didn't fail miserably. This was my first time doing them. It actually wasn't too bad as its just Taken and a big boss battle against a creature similar to the one who tricked Uldren. Managed to knock out a purification quest and the Blind Well weekly. I think I got 2 Transcendent Blessings out of it. This week's oracle offering doesn't offer powerful equipment, but it is another step in the story . This should knock out a triumph. I was at 552 or 551 during the Heroic Blind Well by the way. 540 or 545 might be enough to survive it.

Seems pretty obvious that Chastain is Emma Frost.

nope

She is a freelancer who mainly works in Oz Academy though she has had runs all over.

Its one of Hiroyo's regular moves. She always looks so happy when using it.

Regal segment with UE was fun. Pissed off Street Profits are the best Street Profits. That was the first time I really dug the team. Still happy the Mighty won. Ciampa/Otis was fun and great showing for Otis.

Hiroyo/Rachel was solid and a nice showing for both. It was nice to see Hiroyo able to pull the crowd in working heel. Conti/Elaban was kind of just there though not bad. Elaban shows some decent potential. Still not super impressed with Conti though I did like how her finisher looked on Elaban. Mathews/Dawn was probably more than decent, but the crowd didn't seem too interested in either women. Kind of sad since both looked generally decent. Io/Xia went exactly how it should have which was a squash and showcase for Io. Thought it was fun. Xia was fired up, and Io was incredibly energetic with everything she did looking great outside of that moonsault where she kneed poor Xia in the ribs. Kind of surprised on that one since Io usually has no problems with that distance.

I thought Striker started out decently, but got more and more obnoxious as time went on.
