barely hit rank 2 with the queen before she left the game last night. I'm hoping she comes back and has like rank 5 legs and gauntlets or something. I'll already be part way there to.

I'm really enjoying the game a lot. I like the grind, the bounty system etc. I don't mind replaying zones as it is always with other people and it just reminds me of FPS diablo. Each time you run something you get better at it, figuring out some other spot, maybe a different weapon combo, etc.

I finally got my first exotic the other day, got the Hard Light auto rifle, and then bought my sunbreaker gloves from Xur with some strange coins, and am working through the exotic bounty for the shotgun. I'm rank 27, almost 28 and I either need shards or raid gear to move me up. We had six on at once to start the raid, but two were remote playing on their Vitas while cross country on business so we scratched that and just knocked out every bounty but the crucible ones. I really want to do the raid as well!
