I WAS enjoying HoW... (Destiny)

Before I actually tried playing the "endgame experiences", i.e. PoE 34 and ToO.

Need to complete 34 PoE to get gear to 42 light...can't complete 34 PoE as a 33....

First time I completed 34 PoE was with a group of 33s. Keep in mind this week's 34 is brutal at times. Hopefully next week's will be better.

Yes. So much yes.

And as others have pointed out, you can hit 34 simply by playing level 32 Prison of Elders and using the armor cores to buy new armor. It'll take a few weeks that way (since the vender only sells 1 piece of armor per week) but you'll get there.

I know, but the expansion has literally not existed long enough for this to be possible (yet). I'm not complaining that "I'll never be 34"; I'm just sayin I had a crappy couple days....

Need to win in ToO to get gear to 42 light .... Can't win as a 33 (without Thorn, BTW)....

My first attempt at ToO was as a 33, and we went flawless. Almost no difference between 33 and 34 in terms of ToO power levels. Again, it's totally doable.

Yeah, it's been a GREAT couple of days in Destiny....

I get the frustration. Hopefully you just had a rough couple of days. I'm not at all a fan of Prison of Elders, but Trials of Osiris clicked with me big time. Maybe if you give both modes another try at some point, you'll have better luck.

This is the thing. Destiny is like the ultimate "YMMV" game, at least of ones I've played in a while; and it's just a bit frustrating to read everyone ELSES accounts of their awesome 9-0 nights, and level-34 clears, only to have my own couple days of BUPKIS.
