[-Ryn]

Thanks! I was expecting something more... Idk, controvertial because of everyone's reactions on here lol.

It's just dumb.

Especially the bit about "Bungie employees are easy to spot in the wild".
What does that even mean?

 

[Hawkian]

For those that completed the raid, would you say that a mic is required?

haven't completed it, yes definitely required.

 

[Deadceptor]

We did it!

Deadceptor held them at the door and we blasted Xyor with all we had. Thanks to Akai and Deadceptor for the help!

Thanks a bunch! I was on the edge of death the whole time in that spawn room...damn it was intense. Then I saw a glimpse of that Xyor guy and blasted my Super, a grenade and 2 rockets to that door =D A few seconds later you guys finished him off!

Legendary/Exotic Rocket launchers and sniper rifles are very very useful in there.

 

[Lima]

where did you acquire such a beast?

Just saw: What level would you say you'd need to be to beat the raid on hard?

I've been hearing that but is it doable at 28 ?

Uh no. 28 is too low. Everything will pretty much one shot you. 29 or halfway 30 would be good. In the last phase the relic carrier should be 30 ideally because he can take more shit then.

Other than that it depends on your group and how much patience you guys have. Like the last boss fight is not only hard but also fucking glitchy with not the right people being teleported, boss shooting through the relic shield. The relic just disappearing etc. Holy shit just thinking about it makes me rage. They need to fix so much stuff on this raid. And although gear and level is important the most important part is fully upgraded legendary and exotic weapons. We have multiple people running the Ice Breaker fully upgraded and that shit just wrecks Atheon.

 

[Lakitu]

Who said that the patch isn't coming today? The last patch came around 4 or 5pm UK time which is a few hours away.

 

[Loomba]

Should the vanguard and crucible marks have reset by now? According to the bungie.net site mine still show last weeks.

 

[Poodlestrike]

It's just dumb.

Especially the bit about "Bungie employees are easy to spot in the wild".
What does that even mean?

It's either a warning to other Bungie employees thinking about leaking, or it's actually a tactic acknowledgement of the truth, since it doesn't get much easier to identify a Bungie employee than having them show up and identify themselves as such

 

[Swag]

Have the resets happened?

 

[Hyun Sai]

Guys, patchs don't go live that early lol. How can you tell it will not go up today when nearly nobody in the US is working yet. It's not like we're one hour close to wednesday...

 

[TP-DK]

can't give up hawkmoon

i'll let you know when i've upgraded it, lol.

PS4

How Come you got 31 points for the match?

 

[Lima]

How Come you got 31 points for the match?

Bonus XP from nightfall strike.

Thanks I'll just keep doing the raid a couple more times I already have one raid chest piece and exotic gauntlets but it seems like a bitch to get to 29 I Dont come by many shards at all

 

[nib95]

Alright tow rumble matches played with the Vex Mythoclast. Two flawless matches with multiple people leaving the game. I think I like this gun.

It's ridiculously overpowered.

 

[Pop]

For those that completed the raid, would you say that a mic is required?

Not if everyone is on the same page. Quite doable with no mics, if the people in your group know what they're doing.

 

[names2hard4you]

Idk all they can do now to amend the situation is actually come out and give us their side of the story. Show us receipts. Why is the story so botched? Do you have further plans of incorporating more scenes via patch, or are modifiers on the same missions all we are getting until December's DLC expansion pack? SHOW ME RECEIPTS BUNGIE. Until then, I'm going to believe in the side that has a more fleshed out story, and that is 404. Heck, it's a more fleshed out story than the one that's in the game lol.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Yes you can.

I got an exotic helmet for a Titan while playing as a Hunter.. That sucked...

Thankfully I been blessed multiple exotics for my hunter so I guess i cant complain.

The same happened to me. Got an exotic helmet for a Titan and I dismantled it out of spite lol.

 

[Deku Tree]

Is the patch live? Any other differences?

 

[Fistwell]

Especially the bit about "Bungie employees are easy to spot in the wild".
What does that even mean?

They wear dirty underpants on their face. Their face!

 

[wig21]

if anyone is forming a raid group for this week and needs a level 28 warlock on ps4
my psn is milkham

I will add you we are going to start it tomorrow or Thursday.

 

[Tekku]

Opened two legendary engrams that I got from daily events. Got one legendary and one exotic.

Can it be?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

What the fuck bungie. Had the final boss of nightfall down to 40% and got disconnected.

 

[TP-DK]

Bonus XP from nightfall strike.

Cool didnt know you get bonus xp from that. How long does the bonus last?

 

[Acorn]

Cool didnt know you get bonus xp from that. How long does the bonus last?

Till weekly reset

 

[The Librarian]

Bah, too bad about the patch, was really hoping it would be live today. The week is not over yet, so maybe tomorrow?

Actually now that I think about it, wasn't last weeks patch on a Wednesday?

Who said the patch was going to go live on Tuesday?

Guys, when a patch usually goes live, it comes in the morning hours of PST. Like 10am PST.

I can't remember where I saw Tuesday, but I was sure today would be it.

 

[NeoRausch]

They wear dirty underpants on their face. Their face!

And they don't drink Richard on regular basis, those monsters!

 

[jediyoshi]

Tried the nightfall a few times with my normal crew and I gave up eventually. Just can't deal with the final dude's adds. The weekly 28 version was no sweat though

 

[-Ryn]

It's either a warning to other Bungie employees thinking about leaking, or it's actually a tactic acknowledgement of the truth, since it doesn't get much easier to identify a Bungie employee than having them show up and identify themselves as such

Probably just a warning.
There's no way Deej is stupid enough to think that "damage control" will ease anyone's worries.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Huh if it is today the patch should go live at 6pm uk time!

We will probably be in the next ot by then.

 

[VE3TRO]

Doing the weekly 28 solo on XB1 at the moment but if anyone wants to join in let me know before I complete it.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Apparently, one of the guys over at Kotaku is already working on a post mortem. Should be fascinating stuff. Much more gripping than the actual game!

 

[SockyJohnson]

Got Hard Light in Crucible the other day and Monte Carlo in the raid today. This game loves me.

Haha I need some of your good fortune.
It even sounded cool when you were shooting it around.

 

[TP-DK]

Till weekly reset

Awesome. Guess the nightfall will be the first thing I do at each reset.

Hopefully the patch will be up soon, got 14 blue engrams waiting.

 

[X-Frame]

Do we know how much more health enemies have in the Nightfall or Weekly Heroics when you go in solo vs. with 2 others?

 

[Loomba]

Should the vanguard and crucible marks have reset by now? According to the bungie.net site mine still show last weeks.

Anyone?

I'm at the limit and I need 3 marks to get legendary gauntlets. I thought it resetted at 10am UK time.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

I have a Cryptarch message waiting for me after leveling him a day ago, haven't checked it yet... so therefore the reward isn't set yet right?

I wanna check it post patch so it actually has a chance of being decent.....

 

[Acorn]

Anyone?

I'm at the limit and I need 3 marks to get legendary gauntlets. I thought it resetted at 10am UK time.

They're reset for me

 

[JimmyRustler]

For those that completed the raid, would you say that a mic is required?

Yes. There are parts in the raid when you are cursed, go blind slowly and only the relic carrier can heal you. I imagine it being very difficult to coordinate the healing without a mic. Not to mention the final boss where everyone has to do what he should.

btw.: We finished the raid yesterday. It was the most amazing gaming experience I had for quite a while. Shame the whole thing glitches at the end and we never got to the mission summary menu but got stuck a 0 seconds. Got a few shards when the boss dropped but I think I should have got something else after the mission summary, no?
Anyway, can't wait to do the raid again.

 

[Kyoufu]

Anyone?

I'm at the limit and I need 3 marks to get legendary gauntlets. I thought it resetted at 10am UK time.

Have you tried relogging?

 

[Subtervotion]

For those that completed the raid, would you say that a mic is required?

The final boss requires a lot of communication. Stuff like desert or jungle, which three get teleported, if harpys are clear. You need a strategy for the boss and that includes a mic unless you're playing with a group thats done it together multiple times.

 

[Marcel]

I have a Cryptarch message waiting for me after leveling him a day ago, haven't checked it yet... so therefore the reward isn't set yet right?

That's actually a good way of ducking the stored engram nerf. I have a Cryptarch reward coming up so I'll probably hold off on identifying anything else until after the patch.

 

[Afrocious]

Here's our weekly order of cheese right here.

I wonder if all three teammates can get behind those boxes.

 

[Navid]

Yes, that's it. I'm free for the next two hours or so (three max), but I won't have time in the evening.

I'm available now if you haven't already done it...

PSN id in my profile.

 

[Zakalwe]

Could someone please help me run my friend through the kill Xyor part of the Thorn bounty? :3

Psn: astropoff

Got one. Thanks xcuubix!

 

[Tawpgun]

Don't really have time to play today, just wanna get my cryptarch level up reward and hopefully get some legendaries.

 

[jediyoshi]

Here's our weekly order of cheese right here.

Still an issue when he swaps sides, unless there's another safe spot on the opposite end.

 

[chippy13]

Awesome. Guess the nightfall will be the first thing I do at each reset.

Hopefully the patch will be up soon, got 14 blue engrams waiting.

You might as well check those out now, Bungie has said that none of the engrams pre-patch will be changed in how they work.

 

[Hawkian]

on the first day of reset my nightfall gave to me

since it's arc burn week I can go back in and use this to clean up and help out other folks

 

[d9b]

For those that completed the raid, would you say that a mic is required?

One or two people without mic is ok. As long as they know what they are doing and are prepared to follow instructions/ commands, you'll be fine.

 

[Steroyd]

That nightfall was nuts, would have been easier if it weren't for those fucking Psions with the fucking yellow health. >_<

Got an icebreaker for my troubles ^_^

For those that completed the raid, would you say that a mic is required?

Oh hell yes! It would be virtually impossible without a mic, the last part needs so much communication all the time, because one fuck up and screw everyone over.

 

[Fee]

Here's our weekly order of cheese right here.

I wonder if all three teammates can get behind those boxes.

There are a few spots in the room you can use. We used the space beneath the ramp at the opposite side of the entrance, there is another one at the opposite side of the room too.
