Support NeoGAF

[Camwi]

What's stopping a player from getting into a group now and just going AFK? Matchmaking has nothing to do with people going AFK. If it was an issue, Bungie should be looking into anti AFK and Griefing measures, kick players not getting kills or moving,etc.

Change it so chests don't despawn when opened.

Yep, shouldn't be that difficult to make it so that a person who doesn't move for two minutes becomes bootable.

 

[Fushichou187]

wait a sec

so dead orbit only offers armor and not weapons or am I wrong

All the factions offer weapons, including DO.

currently they are offering:

Unwilling Soul-09 - HC
Crypt Dweller SR1 - SR
Hide and Seek-42 - SG
Deviant Gravity-A - MG

All need DO Rank and Crucible Marks to purchase.

I still think factions needing Crucible Marks only for purchasing their gear is dumb.

 

[Darknyss09]

Is it worthwhile going round collecting all the gold chests? Am I gonna get any legendarys for doing so?

Collecting 4 on Mars should give you a Strange Coin.

 

[Defect]

Man, I don't know how people find groups for raids so easily. I'm at lvl 28 looking to do my first raid, posting on LFG and the RaidGAF and have only gotten 1, maybe 2, invites.

For those with experience finding random groups, is it better to just join a group midway through and hoping to do it from the start on another week, or is it better to try to find a group to start from the beginning?

I did it from the start and had a lot of people who wanted to join me. I used LFG.

 

[SgtCobra]

Got my first legendary engram, ABOUT TIME.

 

[Hoodbury]

I really need to get more strange coins.

How do I do that? I have a hard time doing the weekly stuff cause I don't have anyone to play with. Save one buddy who's on regularly.

Type this in this thread:

"Have two for the weekly, need 1 more, PSN/XBL = xxx,"

I'm pretty sure it's one particular chest that gives you a strange coin. Can't remember exactly which one, but you can find a video on YouTube.

[Raxus]

So you're saying there's a chance!

Spoiler

Seriously though, you are one of the few regulars I don't think I have on my friends list.

 

[GrandHarrier]

The fireteam leader can boot them out at any time if they go AFK in the RAID and invite somebody as (in the RAID as it is currently set up). And if they do that now people will stop playing with them. Randoms going AFK is currently a big problem in Destiny Strikes. Matchmaking as it is currently implemented in Destiny is a big part of why people do it.

So assign one of the match made members as the Fireteam leader. How hard is that? Also, I don't understand people who are fighting against the idea of matchmaking raids. You'll never have to deal with them if you don't want. There is literally no reason to oppose the idea, at all, as it would only affect those who want to use it.

Roll a Titan. I get 3-4 invites everytime I head over to the Tower.

Hahaha will probably do that if I can't find a group. Might as well level up something if I'm gonna wait

Add me, then. My PSN is Daraman. The GIF was just poking fun. I figured you were saying you wanted to go with me since apparently someone always gets mythoclast, lol.

There's a thread here on Gaf that I have had much better luck with than LFG, or you could just post in this thread if you want. There's usally a ton of people on in the evenings who will run with ya.

I really need to get more strange coins.

How do I do that? I have a hard time doing the weekly stuff cause I don't have anyone to play with. Save one buddy who's on regularly.

Just get luck with chests/drops, unfortunately. What system are you on? If you're on PS4, you can add me: PSN: Arrrammis. If you're on another system, just post your PSN/Gamertag and you'll get a few more friends here that'll help you out.

So... you could start the heroic strike at the desired level e.g. 28 if you are really wanting those 9 coins, and just kind of hang out in the initial area you start in since it's still an open area and not instanced to your particular strike; that means players are going to be teleporting in and out. You could try joining a fireteam that way?

Yesterday I was about to go into the Weekly Heroic Strike solo on lvl 26 (ran out of ammo doing it solo on 28) and right when I started up some lvl 24 guy immediately invited me to join him so we linked up and he was on the same Strike (but underleveled) so I ended up doing a lot of the heavy lifting, but in the end it was all good and he was mic'd so we chatted a bit while sorting out Valus

and by titan you actually mean sunbro

 

[Chief1690]

Anybody trying to get a party together for the hard mode raid on xbox one before the reset tomorrow? Lvl 29 Titan, both defender/strike maxed out, all legendary and exotic weapons/gear, and tons of raid experience (done it about 12 times).

Hit me up on here or at Xbl Xzilerate if interested.

[squidhands]

So... next week's Nightfall/Weekly will be either Winter's Run or the Flayers... with void burn, yes?

Both of those sound awful.

Dust Palace is a PS exclusive, so it probably won't be in the Weekly Strike rotation until it's not exclusive any more.

 

[ZROCOOL]

R/fireteams on reddit. Don't bother if you aren't 29 or 30 with 300 damage weapons.

Does it matter if I'm a Hunter, because I meet the requirements?

 

[Angry Guy]

Any raid group (normal) going in 30minutes?

I'm EU based, lvl 28 Hunter on PS4. PSN is Klyka1

I'd like to know this as well. I've got a 28 Hunter on PS4 too and I'd like to knock the raid out before 6:30.

New raider, so experienced runners who could show me the ropes would be nice. I've done the required reading so I kind of know what's up, but I haven't actually put it into practice yet.

What kind of attack values should my weapons be on before I hit it?

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

I've anyone needs a 28 Warlock for anything just send me an invite same as GAF name, PS4

 

[RedFury]

But it's a Spartan helm and I want to look like this guy:

Haha, I'm guilty of this. I had to switch to an unleveled striker to try and get 25 special kills. Apparently you can't get them smashing faces in your bubble. It's funny watching people work up the courage to run in to [try] kill you then panic because they're blind..."I've made a huge mistake". I've killed my fair share of bubble titans but I see that crest and I'm NOPE.

Anyone want to run through the daily heroic on 28 with me right now? Need two more to make it go quickly.

Level 27 Hunter.

GK212 on PS4.

The game has been out for weeks and people still don't understand the importance of heavy ammo in pvp smh.

 

[diablos991]

Some teams will take hunters. But usually only 1-2 unless they can't find any sunbros or titans.

Just go to the subreddit, sort by new posts, and start adding people or posting to create your own group.

I couldn't agree more. I thought of joining one, but seeing that, I stayed with Vanguard as I really don't want to bother with PVP now.

So... next week's Nightfall/Weekly will be either Winter's Run or the Flayers... with void burn, yes?

Both of those sound awful.

Earth Strike already had a Nightfall ?

Eh, I use it as a Striker too. My Defender subclass is only half leveled up so far and it replaced the queen helm which wasn't that great anyway. Plus the increased melee perk is nice for either class.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Today was terrible, half the fireteam was getting kicked every few minutes, some unable to join, session invalid errors, and so on.

I wish they would fix the bloody raid glitches too. So much bullshit going on in the final boss fight:

One random Oracle won't spawn.
Atheon teleporting 2 players instead of 3.
Can't pick up relic if one player dropped it.
Praetorian regenerating shield instantly.

These on top of the portal glitches

Well. You really don't need it so long as you have an auto rifle, fusion rifle, or shotgun.

 

[Fushichou187]

Improved connectivity failure handling to reduce beaver

yup, I lol'd.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Thanks for all the replies guys, I think I'll just grind some rep instead then :I

 

[w2000]

Has anyone seen a legendary armor piece with this very specific perk? Looking to see if such an animal exists for Titan.

Mind you, not looking for 'special weapon' ammo, but specifically fusion rifle ammo perk slot.

Would be great if it existed - arm or leg piece.

Well I just got an oblivion plate that has that, but it is a chest piece

Ya, I don't get it either. I'll run to the heavy ammo box, look at my radar to see if any allies are near. See 2 running by nearby so I wait for them to come so we all get it and they just run right past it. /what?

 

[Turdburger]

Well. You really don't need it so long as you have an auto rifle, fusion rifle, or shotgun.

all of those lose to machine guns and launchers so I don't understand

I agree the only thing I don't like about it is the fact it doesn't change color like a lot of the other exotic helms.

Cool, just trying to wait on a PE at the Steppes to take care of that part of the day. Should hit any second...

 

[Arrrammis]

Earth Strike already had a Nightfall ?

Yeah, it was the very first one, and IMO the toughest one so far. Arc burn, so all of the fallen's weapons did triple damage. Snipers and stealth vandals one shotted you almost every time.

 

[Foxix Von]

Banshee-44 is a dick. I leep waiting on the dude to sell me some fusion rifles but he keeps withholding the goods.

My personal experience is that they're mostly on the same level.

I can't seem to find you on pan for some reason. Can you send me a request? My psn is the same as my username.

 

[Poodlestrike]

With all due respect, your personal experience is whack. Securing all the heavy ammo is a great way to lock down (or turn around) the match, every time.
