Good luck jumping down the disappearing platforms



Warlock

Hunters!

I got across at the weekend just by dropping down to the right hand side a few ledges and then can just double jump across safely.

 

[E92 M3]

I have had HORRIBLE luck getting raid gear. I have nearly completed the raid on both alts, completed the main raid completely 2 times on my main. All I have gotten were exotic weapons ;_;

I said the the game 'Fuck you I'll do it myself' and leveled myself to 29 with my abundance of shards...I am back up to 23 shards and I have yet to do the dailies today.

Depending how Tuesday goes I might say fuck it too.

 

[Trakan]

Gonna actually be sad to see the Queen go. I got my Titan up to Light Level 25 cause of some of her equipment. I got absolutely fucked with RNG on her though. 10 tokens and 9 of them were helms, something I already have an exotic for. Really need boots or gloves... so now I'm gonna have to grind rep on another character for it. I swear the rep grind is easily the most painful part of this game.

The missions only drop helms or chests.

 

[MADGAME]

We've seen what the Cabal look like unmasked, but what about Psions? Have we seen their mugs too?

 

[Kensuke]

Bro, sunsinger has other functions too than just self resurrection. Denying whole sub-class because one of its talents is just silly.

Also what is up with all this Gjallahorn hype? It never seemed to do any mind blowing damage to any of the bosses and was easily outclassed by sniper rifle alone.

Not saying it's useless. I run a Sunsinger alt myself. It's just that other classes are more useful for this particular trophy.

The Gjallarhorn is awesome for killing the Gatekeeper quick. Well, any tracking rocket launcher is.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Edit: Is the raid even worth trying on lvl 27?

Definitely, I'm only 27 and deal more than enough damage to get through and hold my own.

 

[LiK]

Your guns do over 200 dmg / hit

I'm talking about PVE.

 

[RDNinja]

I don't think my friends are ever going to make it to 28 before they burn out from the grind. They don't have that JRPG lineage like I do. I think I will have to jump in on some GAF Raid team ups. It would be nice if a compromise for Raid match making that they would only match two complete fire teams together. So like my group of three allows us to go in a Raid queue to be paired with another group of three. That seems like it would accomplish Bungies desire to have competent teams together.

Edit: Is the raid even worth trying on lvl 27?

Absolutely, I finished it for the first time with 3 people in my party, including myself, at level 27.

Good luck jumping down the disappearing platforms

You can skip those platforms pretty easy.

When you enter that room, jump down on the right on those platforms. Then you need to sprint across and jump the gap to the wall on the other side. Then just follow the wall till you get to the door.

 

[Raide]

Better PvP match. 2.8 KD ratio...got bugger all because I am lvl 12 lol

 

[IcyEyes]

Warlock

Thanks.
I'm asking this because we debate a lot about which class is in the overall the "best" one and seems the warlock players have this "feeling" of absolute power !

Spoiler

I'm using a warlock, sunsinger and I have that feeling !

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

I'm talking about PVE.

Lol I would say it's more effective in PvE than PVP.

You just need to avoid rushing in and if you try to run them over instead of actually shooting them. Very useful during the Mars strike to beat the body guards and the tank. It can just run rings around the tank and distract it from the other players.

Radiance is so good. Nothing like bringing ur team back from a wipe especially in nightfall

 

[toastyToast]

I've got the Invective bounty and there's the daily bounty for doing a weekly strike. Anyone wanna do one?

 

[Bizazedo]

This is my first legendary since I started playing.

Old question for a new page:

Is Doctor Nope worth upgrading for PVP?

It's good for PvE, but I don't think it's good for PvP. Just doesn't hit hard enough / is too wild, even with the stability upgrade.

I am not the best at controlling it, though, so maybe? Shingen / Shadow Price / Vanquisher VIII beat it, imho.

titans are def the best class for pvp and they'll likely dominate iron banner, the extra damage they can take plus one kill shoulder charge plus that bubble defensive super lol

Shoulder charge is fun as hell, but it's garbage with this heavy shotgun meta. Also, shoulder charge is striker, bubble is defender.

That being said, I love the increase in Defenders. People had learned not to gather as much as they used to, but with bubbles..allowed me to get another Breaker medal with Fist of Havoc.

Boom.

Since the patch I've gotten :

-The Invincible Hand
-The Comedian
-Steel Oracle
-Super Pox VLO
-Zombie Apocalypse
-Hard Light
-Light/Beware (from a blue engram)

Of those Light/Beware is the only one I use regularly.

You stole my RNG! Actually, I just need to grind strikes for engrams I guess. Hydruxxo...?!

Very curious if the kill times will be noticeably different in Iron Banner.

They were in Beta. I actually vastly preferred it to normal because people didn't drop as quickly.

We were only level 8, though, so who knows what'll go down now.

*****

So, Atheon's Epilogue...how is it? Seems like a different version of Doctor Nope for me. Tempted to dismantle Nope now that I have it, but just want some reads. Impact seems too low for PvP?

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Did that raid for the first time. Reached the final boss and just gave up.. This shit is really tough

 

[Kensuke]

I will go but we need to do a practice run before we do this.

Yeah, definitely. The team needs to sync up.

 

[Tawpgun]

Gonnna be trying to raid this evening on Xbone. PM me if intererested. I'm a 28 hunter.

 

[X-Frame]

Oh that Weekly bounty will be great for me since I need to do it on both my alts tonight.

I am not looking forward to it, the Weekly sucks and the end boss is so not fun -- homing rockets and sniping gattling gun with ridiculous health and infinite spawning non-staggerable mobs with shields, ha.

 

[Johan Liebert]

At final boss on Vault of Glass on normal. Need 4 more people.

Add me. PS4: Unknown837

 

[Bizazedo]

Radiance is so good. Nothing like bringing ur team back from a wipe especially in nightfall

I had the best sequence of kills last night in Crucible. 3 guys coming down the hall, I run in front....shotgun down two of them. They were blocking each other from shooting me (was a side corridor on Twilight Gap). One of the guys I shotgunned self-resurrects, causing me to panic Fist of Havoc.

Warlock dies again as does the remaining guy....I'm barely alive. A fifth guy took me out almost immediately, but I didn't care. Fist of Havoc'ng Radiance or Defender Bubbled Titans or Bladedancers is so satisfying.

 

[Definity]

Been working on my hunter ALT and still not feeling the double jump. Guess it just takes time to get used to. Is it still fairly easy to do the jumping puzzle in the raid with the hunter?

 

[Tovarisc]

Not saying it's useless. I run a Sunsinger alt myself. It's just that other classes are more useful for this particular trophy.

The Gjallarhorn is awesome for killing the Gatekeeper quick. Well, any tracking rocket launcher is.

Sunsinger can get increased armor through super => less damage taken in tough spot => more likely to stay alive.

Sunsinger can reduce cooldown of people around him => more melee attacks, grenades etc. from all in raid => room cleared quicker.

So yeah, it has utility just like any other class. I would be more worried about bladedancer hunter going full retard when spamming auto aim attack and dashing himself out of play area into instant death.

Also then I would add "A lot of Gjallahorn experience in its safe usage" because more often than not, in my experience, people blow themselves up with it along the enemies. Always fun time when someone blows himself up in VoG with RPG, "ooops..."

 

[op_ivy]

As I stated before the best way to get shards:

• Daily
  [*]Public Event
• DE Exotic or Leg. armor
• Raid chests 5 in all
• Level an alt to complete the above all over again

speaking of public events, is http://destinypublicevents.com/ no longer working in ie snapped on x1 for anyone else? anyone know of an alternative that will work?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Question: I just hit Vangard rank 2 and got my exotic bounty. I didn't realize what was going on and that I only got to pick one, or what it was for. As it turns out, I picked the hand cannon, which is okay, because I do use them sometimes, but after having seen them all, I probably would've picked the pulse rifle or the fusion rifle instead. Do I have any shot at getting those later in the game too?

 

[Flo_Evans]

I feel that reset coming...

starting leveling my alt, hunter is sweet. I started playing every story mission on hard to start off, that was kind of brutal. Made the early levels like a nightfall every stage lol.

 

[Rsinart]

I was in 3 different raid groups last night till I found one that had their shit together. The raid really isn't that hard as long as you have 6 guys 27-28 with decent gear and appropriate weapons. Took me a week to find a group that just clicked and got the last part done in 2 tries. Really would like to find a static group for raid once a week instead of seeking out a group every night. That said, I got nothing from the raid but 9 ass shards, the shader, and a legendary shotty.

Also finally completed the Thorn Bounty. I have such a hard time using a hand cannon that some times does the same damage my scout rifle does, that has 200 more bullets then the hand cannon.

Yes. You can get more. I think it is a dice roll with a 2% chance every time you turn in. Bounty. I got my first one after three days of play time. Others have gotten many of them.

Yeah you get more opportunities. I've had the same 3 bounties pop up 3 times.

 

[Amory]

Do you have an exotic armor piece? It seemed like I didn't have much trouble hitting 28. I simply put all my ascendant shards into my exotic to max it out and some shards into my gauntlets to almost max it out (just one bubble away from max).

I never paid attention to ascendant shards and the like since I mainly do Crucible.

I do have a lot of play time invested since I was doing PVP pretty actively. Planning to cut back though. Don't think I'm worried bout getting to L30 though. Since it requires raid equipment apparently. Maybe one day I'll have time for a raid I dunno

I don't have one yet. I'm kind of pissed at myself because I spent a lot of shards (basically all that I had collected leveling from 1-20) upgrading my legendary chest armor because at the time I didn't realize A) that the shards were the base material for upgrading all armor and B) that they're actually quite rare

But I guess it's ok, since I can only equip one piece of exotic armor anyway. I'll just go with a helm

 

[Deku Tree]

I am a terrible warlock Sunsinger jumper. I miss too many high jumps and I stay in the air too long with my boost. What is the best jump setting for my class?

 

[Unknown One]

Been working on my hunter ALT and still not feeling the double jump. Guess it just takes time to get used to. Is it still fairly easy to do the jumping puzzle in the raid with the hunter?

It's a joke to do with higher jump. 3 platform then jump towards the ledge.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Yes. You can get more. I think it is a dice roll with a 2% chance every time you turn in. Bounty. I got my first one after three days of play time. Others have gotten many of them.

Yeah you get more opportunities. I've had the same 3 bounties pop up 3 times.

Oh, so it wasn't necessarily triggered by hitting vangard rank 2 then? I just assumed it was because that's right when it happened.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Gonnna be trying to raid this evening on Xbone. PM me if intererested. I'm a 28 hunter.

This reminds me. I so need to get my warlock up on xbone. He's 23 currently. I've spent so much time playing PS4 version that I've kind of neglected the Xbone version. lol

 

[Flo_Evans]

Oh, so it wasn't necessarily triggered by hitting vangard rank 2 then? I just assumed it was because that's right when it happened.

No it is random when turning in bounties. But I have the nagging feeling that those special requests that pop up sometimes in the postmaster have something to do with it. I always try and do those if I get them.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Ah, yeah, this was from the postmaster bot. What, do they also just show up on the bounty board sometimes?

Also finally completed the Thorn Bounty. I have such a hard time using a hand cannon that some times does the same damage my scout rifle does, that has 200 more bullets then the hand cannon.

I've tried the raid with about 3 groups also. The first group, it was all our first time, it took us about 3 hours to get from the beginning to Atheon. Then we called it quits.

Second group was horrible. Took us over an hour just on the very first thing to get into the vault.

Our third group we dropped two players and pick up two new ones, one was a random from the Tower who didn't have a mic. He was an absolute beast with the Relics. We beat Atheon and then he asked if we could help him beat the first two phases. We started from the beginning and beat it past Templar in less than a half hour. We didn't wipe once.

Having everyone at level 28 makes things a breeze.

 

[X-Frame]

I am a terrible warlock Sunsinger jumper. I miss too many high jumps and I stay in the air too long with my boost. What is the best jump setting for my class?

I have alts for all characters and I can't get into any of the Warlock or Hunter jumps after using the Titan for so long. First the others don't seem to be able to jump to the same height and if so its awkward and slow. Sunsinger and Gunslinger sub-classes so far but I'm sure the others with Blink are much better.

Maybe I need to test more jumping options but for me so far nothing beats a Titan jet-pack with Increased Height or Catapult if I'm specced for Agility.

 

[Kensuke]

Sunsinger can get increased armor through super => less damage taken in tough spot => more likely to stay alive.

Sunsinger can reduce cooldown of people around him => more melee attacks, grenades etc. from all in raid => room cleared quicker.

So yeah, it has utility just like any other class. I would be more worried about bladedancer hunter going full retard when spamming auto aim attack and dashing himself out of play area into instant death.

You make some good points, but I still think other classes have more worth in this case. The increased armor is very slight. Reduced cooldown is nice, but anyone doing melee attacks for this is a fool and grenades respawn super quick as is.

Bladedancer is actually very useful. It gets way more armor compared to Sunsinger. Any decent Bladedancer will also have the invisible perk. All enemies will leave you alone, meaning you will survive.

Anyway, I guess you're still right any skillful Sunsinger with an awesome sniper would still be an asset. So I'll remove that requirement.

Yeah, pugs can be a bit of a pain when it comes to raiding. I have a static group for my hunter, and it's great having the same 6 guys each week who know what they are doing. I just need to find one for my titan!

 

[Sorral]

I don't know where I'm getting all of this luck, but just got the final piece, the helmet, to make my raid set 5/5 from VoG hard mode.. That's in addition to the sparrow.

That's after a bunch of other stuff in the last few days. I'll post pictures later.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Ah, yeah, this was from the postmaster bot. What, do they also just show up on the bounty board sometimes?

Yeah I have had them pop up directly after turning in a bounty.

Wow nice! Yes pics please. What class?

 

[IcyEyes]

Radiance is so good. Nothing like bringing ur team back from a wipe especially in nightfall

I played all the six classes and I feel to fit better in the Sunsinger. This class is really aggressive and the radiance makes it even stronger (we call it super sayian )

Sunsinger all day. Making them grenades rain and coming back from the dead like it ain't nothing

Agree, it's pretty effective and spectacular !

 

[TheTylerDurden]

Guys,

I have a gauntlet, chest piece and Leggings (I have a fully upgraded exotic helm) which all have their last upgrade at first tiered (currently Light 23). If I upgrade the remaining six slots, would that take me from a low 28 to 29? It looks like I need a lot of Light to go but I do not see how this could be possible.

Thanks.

Yes, fully upgraded legendaries plus an exotic takes you well into 29. You can even leave one of the upgrade slots on one of the legendaries empty, and that should still push you over.

 

[LiK]

Lol I would say it's more effective in PvE than PVP.

You just need to avoid rushing in and if you try to run them over instead of actually shooting them. Very useful during the Mars strike to beat the body guards and the tank. It can just run rings around the tank and distract it from the other players.

I would use them if they were more fun to drive. Easier to just shoot with guns.

 

[Sorral]

Wow nice! Yes pics please. What class?

Warlock. I'm about to get some sleep though! So tired, sorry. Will post them when I wake up.

 

[WITHE1982]

We've seen what the Cabal look like unmasked, but what about Psions? Have we seen their mugs too?

If you get lucky you can headshot a Cabal and if they land on their backs and you can see their faces.

They look like mole-rats. I have a pic on my PS4 but I'm at work.

 

[Bladelaw]

Thanks.

I think you need 109 light to reach level 29 (all maxed raid plus one exotic is 120 light so minus 11 to get to 109)

It looks like you need 10 more light. Non raid legendaries cap out at 27 light so you could hit it doing 5 of the 6 upgrades you need I think. Don't burn your shards until someone else confirms though.
