Templar fight done the stupid easy way.

Yeah my group played over 2 hours and we couldn't get past the first boss...

Found a really easy trick to kill that boss.

Well really easy unless I keep screwing up the jump....

When it's time to fight the boss everyone stays up top. One person goes down to get the relic then they can jump all the way back. After grabbing the Relic keep jumping up and to stage right. Jump up ... easier with an image.

Here is the entrance to a boss fight in the Vault of Glass.

The jump from 4 to 5 is the only tricky part. Have to feather it in and I wasted time bouncing off the pillar like an idiot.

And like an idiot, I just now found a video of someone else doing it so I wasted a lot of time.
Video.
And I posted that video without actually watching it. I assumed he was going to jump back to the start. Silly picture redeemed!

Hey anyone want to give the hard mode raid a go? We have 5 people, just need one more. If you want to join add "hubang" on PS4

 

[The Driver]

Lmao @ everyone talking down the Suro Regime. Why y'all lying and trying to keep this glory to yourself. Bungie was stupid as hell to sell this gun because at this point, there's the Regime and then there is everything else. It is just sooooo freaking good. It sounds pretty stupid tho lol

Enjoy it while it last y'all cuz there is no way in hell that if Bungie nerfs the ARs that the Suro one get the nerfbat the hardest.

Sucks my two Exotics (Suro & Invective) could end up crappy in the future :'( Anyway, I'm at just a few upgrades shy of Level 27. I have to take a break for a few days for real life stuff but hopefully I can FINALLY do the Raid next week. Just need like 120 helium filaments lol.

Three attempts into trying to get 5 strikes done without dying. I've died once every time :/

Do summoning pits. Very few things that can OHK you. Just play extremely conservative, the mission should take no more than 10-15 minutes to finish so your looking at a little more than a hour with orbit time to get it out of the way.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

1. It's the way it is. Deal with it.
2. Don't like the group you're matched with? Leave.

In other words, if you do not like the game as is, don't post. Got it.

On the plus side, PvP gear is 100x easier to get.

 

[Papercuts]

Thanks for the advice.

I have 12 special coins and I need 13. Any idea what mission would get me one more?

If you haven't done the weekly strike yet, you can get 3 from it.

Assuming there's a piece of gear you want, then have you done any of the weekly strikes? This week's is particularly easy and can be cheesed through if you have the right help. Get two friends at around your same level, or even 22-23 it doesn't matter and do it. 3 strange coins per difficulty (22, 26, 28) for a total of 9.

If you already did them your hope is to do a daily public event tomorrow or sunday super fucking early and get a strange coin from the package they send you. A third even less likely option is chest farming and engram decoding as sometimes you give you strange coins.

 

[Stratosphere]

That would be great, thanks!



Request sent. Thank you!

EDIT: Okay, so apparently the friend request system is still borked on PSN right now? My sent request doesn't even show up on my end.

Yeah, I think its still f'ed up. Did you get my friend request?

 

[David___]

In other words, if you do not like the game as is, don't post. Got it.

Or don't play the game until it gets fixed aka next week. You know, the patch that gives guaranteed Blues/Legendaries for Tiger Strikes that are guaranteed to be at least the rarity of the engram.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

I'm almost 27, guessing under geared?

 

[ReverseFate]

Alright, so apparently the friend request is still broken. I sent a few out and gotten a few in return, but they just disappear when I click on them.

Oh well, I guess I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks anyway to those that were willing to help!

Has to be a joke post, has to be.

Nope. I'm just tired of talking to you.

Get some friends. Make a PvP fireteam. Tough.

Hmm, last time I tried to do a weekly strike I think it plopped me in the mission alone. If that's right, is there any way to get matched up with 2 random people to do it?

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

No, there is no match making with the strikes which kinda sucks, I still have them to do this week too.

 

[Unstable]

I'm almost 27, guessing under geared?

Yeah, I'd suggest being level 28 minimum before trying hard mode. As all enemies are level 30

 

[SharkJAW]

Anyone want to run Crucible with me? Quickest way to level up my alt and it's more enjoyable playing groups. PS4: SharkJAW

 

[Zomba13]

No, there is no match making with the strikes which kinda sucks, I still have them to do this week too.

Which is beyond bullshit as the Weekly Strikes aren't even hard (like, raid hard) they are just the same as the normal strikes (or the match made ones up to 20 something) just with tougher/more enemies. nothing about them requires teamwork. If you can easily solo them then they should be matchmade.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Ouch, yeah I wont be heading in there any time soon then I don't think.

 

[Two Words]

Finally came across some of the Playstation exclusive armor. I love the look, too bad it's Rare instead of Legendary because I'm almost tempted to wear it over my exotic chest armor.

Seriously? I thought the PS stuff would be Legendary or Exotic...

 

[Ken]

mm, did invective's crucible part in barely 2 games.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Wanna Raid, wanna do the weekly strikes? Make some friends, tough, don't complain or discuss why it is bad to give players less choices. Same shit, different story. Don't reply, remember you are tired of it.

Don't like it tough. Lul. No, wait, take it to Bungie. Why are you talking/complaining about it here.

They don't have matchmaking for some dumb reason, but you're on gaf!

Though right now on PS4 the friend requests are busted but someone should be able to help eventually.

 

[hwateber]

Okay I finally experienced the crucible salt. Legendary engram and an exotic found in my game. I'm the top scorer on the winning and I don't get shit!

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Anyone want to tackle the weekly strike (level 26)? Message me, PSN: Kool-hand_Luke

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Weekly strikes you need a fire team prior to attempting them. Come to the thread tomorrow and assuming the friend system is working again ask for help. If nobody is willing to help hit me up I'll give you a hand (assuming you're PS4)

PSN: StarkWinterLager

friend requests are screwed right now though.

 

[Slackbladder]

This is such a weird game. Only had 2 Legendary drops from 3 characters I have (easily over 40hrs playtime) and one went down to a blue and the other went up to an Exotic! My Cryptarch lvl was lower on the character who got the Exoctic than for the other legendary engram. Annoyingly it's only a heavy RL called Truth. Legend
The game is just so infuriatingly random.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Seems using the app works, although not sure if you got the request.

 

[Two Words]

And I'm saying complaining about it here isn't doing anything.

It isn't like its hard to PvP in this game. It is just ANOTHER time grind to be able to get all your ranks / marks ..... just play Control and run around capping points ....

I don't know why I even replied to you honestly ... I really don't care. AFK all you want in PvP ... hopefully you're on Xbox.

What a silly point. Nothing posted here "does anything".

It'll become a lot less random come next week.

Yeah, not sure how to feel that I put so many resources into Suros and I get the feeling it will be nerfed adjusted pretty hard. The only bright side is that I like using my exotic slot on specials and heavies anyway. Maximum damage for the boss killers when I need them.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

It'll become a lot less random come next week.

also a lot less likely to get a legendary engram. But at leas you're guaranteed legendary from them.. now whether it's for your class....

 

[Macattk15]

What a silly point. Nothing posted here "does anything".

No shit? Yet certain people feel like crying up a storm about random issues they have no control over.

Sack up and play it as it is in the game until Bungie does (or does not) something to change it.

 

[David___]

Aren't either Blue/Legendary engrams guaranteed at the end of a Tiger Strike/Weekly/Daily?

Hmm, so I've read. Wonder how it'll play out.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

So daft, is this a board where we discuss games or no? Have I been mislead this entire time.

Honestly, you get it right?

Jump into any OT/gaming thread. People are going to talk about all kinds of shit when it comes to X game. Some are gonna praise it, some are gonna poop on it. Personally, I still love the game, I just hate the end game currently. I think it is fair to discuss that and even whine about it. It's a forum, that is what we do, if you cannot take it; ignore it.

You telling people that them complaining doesn't do anything also doesn't do anything. Why bother complaining about complainers if clearly your complaining isn't stopping the complainers?

Maybe you should just recognize that positive and negative opinions should both be accepted, and trying to wash away criticism is bad? It really shouldn't bother you if others complain.

My bad. I got annoyed by his 5 posts in a row basically saying the same fucking thing.

I just ignored him and moved on.

 

[sploatee]

After two weeks of destiny obsession I need to dial it back and return to life :'(

So close to level 29 too!


Sorry Heroman, BMO, sevewe, Raven and team for dropping out last night. The time difference was a killer.


Would any UK/EU people like to try and form a semi-regular raid group around weekends and evenings where we can plan ahead when we'll do it?

 

[Zomba13]

[StrongBlackVine]

I had the same outcome. Just not worth buying over shadow price. I'll wait and see next week.

Why not both? I'm buying Shadow Price next week as soon as I have enough marks. I had 38 coins though so I knew I could buy Suros and still get whatever gun is up next week if I really want it.

[Macattk15]

So, do teams auto balance after each loss or do they stay the same?

Cannot say I'm liking PvP.

Honestly, just wish there was much more PvE in the game. It really seems to push PvP exceptionally hard. Did you do the one weekly strike, daily story, nightfall? Cool go PvP.

From the looks of it there is no auto balance/changing of teams in PvP. That is some sweet balance there Bungie.

So now the best way to get gear is to afk run around in PvP on 3 characters a week. Thanks for making me PvP for gear, is that you Blizz?

Well with no auto balance/switching of teams you are stuck getting farmed for hours.

Shits hilarious to be honest. The game is so extremely pushing PvP when it wasn't even marketed as such. If I wanted to PvP I would play WoW, BF, CoD, etc.

Ok, facing a grp. Here is an idea, put them against people that are also grouped.

You know, like most FPS game handle it.

This is also precisely why I don't want to PvP, it's pure shit...but screw me If I want to PvE.

Cannot stress enough how absurd it is that all 3 Factions are tied behind PvP. WTF Bungie? Not everyone wants to PvP, shit feels just like the Leg Cloak PvP component in WoW.

Cause they want to push PvP for whatever reason (probably cause they think it promotes longevity). Guess what kids, it doesn't. Get used to seeing one team basically afk while the other team farms. I shouldn't have to PvP to get gear, but fuck me, that is exactly what I have to do.

Yep, but here I am, afking in PvP. Great design.

IF I had competitive and fair PvP I would be all for it, but that isn't the case. Put people that group together in a separate mode, like ever other FPS on the market. Don't force PvE people to play PvP, etc. shit isn't hard. Crap like this is only going to kill the game.

Next PvP match inc, time to dance for 5mins.

Sweet, now you too can afk farm PvP for gear.

Gotta admit, it is pretty awe inspiring. AFK for loot, it's like the Loot Cave but here you fuck over other people.

And you feel like crying over peoples complaints and telling them to suck it up and deal with it to show how macho and cool you are.

My bad. I got sick of fucking reading the same thing over the span of 30 minutes.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Aren't either Blue/Legendary engrams guaranteed at the end of a Tiger Strike/Weekly/Daily?

nope, they are just now added to the possibilities of being acquired at the end. You can still get crap, but now there's also a (probably slight) chance to get legendary items. I would assume it'll be similar to Crucible where RNG favors nobody and gives the exotic AR to the worst member of the team

 

[Zomba13]

Saw it pop up, but then it's not visible on invite screen. Trying app now.

There seems to be an issue with PSN at the moment regarding Friend invites and name requests. At least when I as doing stuff a little bit ago.

 

[NullPointer]

.. I want pure Int/Disc/Auto Rifle gear, guess what, I have to PvP.

Why do I have to PvP? Because FOUR out of the FIVE vendors are tied to PvP, that is 100% BS. Look up to my previous edit, or I can re type it w/e.

The game 100% pushes PvP, it is the most efficient way to get the specific stat's that you want.

Then either ditch your goal of getting that precise set or put up a fight at the very least in PvP. There's no excuse for screwing up the game for others because you want the game's high level gear but don't want to actually go through the game's requirements to get it.

 

[David___]

Nah, it sounds like they're just added into the potential rotation of drops at the end.

Idk, the way its worded(to me at least) sounds like its guaranteed

Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards

Everyone of the activities sans the Tiger Strike has set in stone rewards.

Dailies give out xp and upgrade material no matter what at the end of it on the hardest difficulty.

Weeklies give Strange Coins no matter what,

Even then, you're guaranteed a blue item at the end of the tiger strike.

Guess we'll find out when the patch hits.

 

[computers putin']

This may just be me, but some times when I move I feel my character physically stutter, like a rubber banding type of feeling, and sometimes my character just freezes in place for a split second, and won't move no matter what I input. To go along with it I'm getting some noticeable input lag too making the game feel really sluggish. At first I though maybe I was just getting caught on stuff and didn't notice, but it's happening in the open too, sometimes when a match starts I feel it happen right out of the initial spawn. I don't think it's something I'm doing, and it's REALLY messing up my game in pvp, it's to the point where I don't know if I want to play it right now. Is this happening to anybody else?
