Good runs with Biggie and Zero as usual. We knocked out the nightfall, daily, weekly, and Xyor quest and got the Thorn handgun.
The Nightfall gave me The Universal Remote primary shotgun that I already got from the raid, lol
Leveled vanguard and crucible factions last night and both packages gave me legendary pulse rifles.... I just got Bad Juju maxed out yesterday too, smh
I joined New Monarchy to grab their Scout Rifle eventually. I'm going to use the Crucible one for now when I get it after a few more crucible marks this week.

IN CASE ANYONE DIDN'T KNOW, I'VE BEEN FARMING PUBLIC EVENTS RECENTLY. I ENDED UP WITH CLOSE TO 20 ASCENDENT SHARDS IN ABOUT AN HOUR OF WORK.
DESTINYPUBLICEVENTS.COM
IT PRETTY MUCH HAS EVERY PUBLIC EVENT SPAWN ON A TIMER AND I JUST HOP FROM ONE PUBLIC EVENT TO THE NEXT BASED ON WHEN IT'S ABOUT TO SPAWN. GREAT FOR THOSE WHO NEED SHARDS TO LEVEL UP SINCE YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF RECEIVING ASCENDENT SHARDS OR ASCENDENT ENERGY FROM THEM.

A very interesting post I found on Reddit about the vault of glass and why we raid it. I'll put it in a spoiler because it's a long read but it's cool to know why we do the things we do in this game since you know, Bungie doesn't tell us
First someone made a post about how Gorgons ignore you if you look at the ground and not them
Then someone else responded with this
Thought this was pretty cool. I don't know why this stuff wasn't explained in the game instead of those dumb *** grimoire cards. They could have at least added the cards in during the loading screens instead of taking the lazy approach of putting them on the site/app
First someone made a post about how Gorgons ignore you if you look at the ground and not them

A bit of lore: https://i.imgur.com/tSujngo.png
Gorgons are basically highly advanced quantum supercomputers that have the ability to use a special power within the area of the Vault of Glass. Since past, present, and future all meet in the Vault of Glass, the Gorgons have the ability to alter reality within this area. As the card says, they have the ability to determine what is real and what is not real. The Gorgons fearsome power comes from their ability to process a weaponized equation to determine that you no longer exist. When they process this equation, you are removed from existence. You don't die per se, but instead the Gorgons have made it so that you never existed in the first place. Something very similar happens with the Oracles, whose ability to predict the future and able to make alterations to reality. When you succumb to the Oracles, they have basically made revisions to reality so that you never came into being or that you died long before you ever made it to the Vault of Glass.
This is why you must avoid the Gorgons at all cost and what Kabr (the guardian who lead the team that reported the existence and threat the Vault of Glass posed. He also created the armor the Titans receive and wear.) sought to prevent. Kabr destroyed a Gorgon, by himself, and took its shell. He then hammered the light into it and forged it into a fearsome relic to protect the guardians that would come after him. The relic uses the power of the Gorgons against its creators; it creates a bubble of stable space and time, essentially forcing the Vex to realize your existence and make it impossible to remove you from reality. This is why they have the ability to cleanse the powers of the oracles and the Templar; they negate their ability to remove you from existence.
The reason we raid the Vault of Glass and why the Guardians throw their lives at it is because the Vex are essentially attempting to rewrite the Universe; they are attempting to throw themselves so far back into time that they can essentially control the big bang and implant themselves into the very fabric of reality. A computer virus of reality so to speak. The Vex are attempting to remake the universe in their image so that every law, creature, and even matter itself is created by their laws, desires, and wishes. They essentially wish to make themselves gods and why the Guardians enter the Vault of Glass to destroy the evil at its core. That and phat lewts.
This is also why time travel is required to kill Atheon and why he also uses it against you. He is attempting to throw you so far into the future or past (desert is the past, jungle is the future. I may have that mixed up, but its all Venus, not Mars for desert) that you do not pose any threat. However by using the relic, which they are trying their hardest to separate you from, you are able to create a stable reality and kill the oracles, which have immense consequences that reverberate through time which cause enormous complications for Atheon. This is why when you defeat the oracles, Time's Vengeance activates and why Atheon takes so much damage during this time.
Atheon is essentially a processor chip for the whole operation and handles all the calculations and processing power for the Vault of Glass, so when you kill him, you essentially shut down the ability of the Vex to operate in the Vault of Glass. You would think with all that immense processing power and technology far beyond anything of human comprehension that he would understand that walking off a cliff is a bad idea.
On a side note, A (and I mean that in a singular sense) Gorgon can be killed, which is how you receive the Grimoire card by the way. Use all your supers and heavy ammo, it shouldn't be an issue. Same HP on both hard and normal. However once you kill one, the rest become invulnerable and more aggressive, which is why you can't just kill your way through the maze.
EDIT: Wow guys, thanks for the upvotes. As a reward, I have another bit of interesting information.
Super Good Advice, which is an exotic weapon bounty, is actually created by a member of Kabr's failed expedition. A friend of Kabr who relayed his warning to the Guardians witnessed what had happened to Kabr and forever went paranoid and haunted by the experiences inside the Vault. For this reason, he could never be alone ever again and started creation on Super Good Advice. He implanted an AI chip into Super Good Advice so that it would essentially be a gun with a personality of its own, forever permitting him to never be alone.
EDIT EDIT: WOW Reddit GOLD! I'm deeply touched and thank you all for finding my post immensely helpful in improving the gameplay experience for you all. As another tidbit, I will explain the significance of the Gatekeeper encounter.
The Gatekeeper encounter is an attempt by the Vex to place the Relic in a place far beyond the reaches of the Guardians; the dark corners of time essentially. The Gatekeepers also prove to be the main line of defense for Atheon's realm. The Guardians must enter both the past and future to collect the Relic and merge the two relics into a single relic that exist in normal time. You will also note that during the last part of the fight where the entire team is in the middle with both relics, you will start seeing precursor minotaurs and descendant minotaurs. The Vex are attempting to stop you and are sending Vex from both the distant past and future to stop you. Once the Gatekeepers are dead, the threat to Atheon becomes very real, which forces him to come and deal with you. This grants you the opportunity to finish him off.
The Precursors: "Those who delve deep into the Vault of Glass have seen time itself torn asunder. Awestruck Ghosts report encounters with ancient Vex, their casings built long before the age of humanity.
It would be easy to assume these Vex are the ancestors of those we face today - but with the Vex it is never so simple."
The Descendants: "Survivors of the Vault of Glass report sightings of ancient Vex - ancient in the sense that they have endured for eons. Convergent analysis from multiple Ghosts suggests that these Vex exist in our future.
If the Vex exist in our future - or in a possible future - should we take this as evidence that their defeat is impractical or unattainable? The Guardian Vanguard is quick to point out that time travel remains a mystery, and that the continued existence of the Vex is not remotely a sure indication of humanity's extinction"

YEP. I DID WORK LAST NIGHT. GOING IN AGAIN TONIGHT. THE THING IS, THAT THE TIMER CAN'T BE EXACT BECAUSE BUNGIE DOESN'T HAVE THE EVENTS THEMSELVES EXACTLY SET THE SAME EVERYTIME. THINK OF IT AS A WINDOW. THERE IS ABOUT A 2-3 MINUTE +/- FOR THE TIMES LISTED ON THE SITE. I USUALLY GO TO THE SPOT 2 MINUTES EARLY AND WAIT TILL 3 MINUTES PAST AND THE EVENT WOULD SPAWN IN THAT TIMEFRAME. ALSO PAY ATTENTION TO THE COLORS OF THE EVENT BECAUSE THAT MATTERS TOO. LIKE THE EVENT IN THE FORGOTTEN SHORES IS GREEN WHICH MEANS IT'S COMMON AND VERY LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEREAS THE EVENT IN THE STEPPES IS RED MEANING IT IS A RARE. IT MAY NOT EVEN OCCUR AT ALL.

I JUST STAY IN THE COSMODROME SINCE IT HAS THE MOST PUBLIC EVENTS BUT SOMETIMES WHEN THERE IS A LARGE GAP BETWEEN WHEN THE NEXT ONE IN THE COSMODROME IS SPAWING LIKE SAY 10 MINUTES THEN I'LL HOP TO THE NEXT PLANET/MOON THAT HAS ONE COMING UP QUICKER AND ONCE COMPLETE I WOULD JUST HEAD BACK TO THE COSMODROME.

I got the worst reward for a nightfall ever. 7 Strange Coins. You get 9 from the Weekly Heroic on 28. Damn you Bungie. I woulda much rather liked shards or energy. RNGesus giveth and RNGesus taketh. I was hoping to get a legendary auto rifle or Hand Cannon. Nope. Strange Coin. So now I sit at 42 Strange Coins. Xur, you better have something good this week or I'mma be pissed. Might just buy gear from him and break it down for shards/energy. I have WAY too many Exotics. Getting annoying leveling them up but only being able to use one in a loadout at a time.
At least Biggie got a Suros. Hoping the raid gives me Chest/Gauntlet/Boots to make up for 7 damn strange coins.
