I guess I'm not getting The Last Word. :|

Rahool refreshed his wares and still no blue engram. Wut? Does he not sell blue engrams anymore?

Run the Tiger Strikes. I was doing them last night and turned in about 10-11 blue engrams and got 3 Strange Coins out of them. It's rare but it happens and seems to be happening a lot to me lately. Also got a Universal Remote as a reward for one strike (already had it though...). They also pop up in chests occasionally but that's extremely rare.

OK, finished the Thorn PvP part.

So does Xyor the Unwed spawn at any level of the Summoning Pits? Can I just try to do the lowest level?

Is is soloable? or do I need friends?

How many do you need?

Three for 23.

I'll give that a shot.

He has never sold blue engrams.

lol I guess I haven't played this game in a long time.

It's a special separate 26 strike which will unlock when you reach the last phase of the bounty. It also has the epic modifier so you'll need Arc and Solar weapons for the Knights and Wizards. It is soloable but only if you are a high level like 29-30 with decent elemental weapons. I'd recommend doing it with friends though.

Stuck at 29 for what seems like ages. Any good reason why Bungie doesnt auto-complete a fireteam for the raid like for the regular strikes?

Yes I see it now, seems I was a bit rash posting that, well I will read about it to see what must be done and try it solo see how it goes.

If not I will call upon you, fellow gaffers, and see if anyone needs to do it as well :)

Thanks mate!

As a level 26 it's nigh impossible. At a higher level with good weapons you can solo it but it's tedious. If you take a good mate or two it isn't too bad though.

Another example of Working as Intended: The other night I respawned just as Valus died and did not get the bounty credit. Had I known this was a thing I would've just sat there and waited.

How is Gjallarhorn in PvP?

After the initial blast that likely kills anyone instantly, do the wolfpack rounds branch off and attack surrounding enemies for more kills?

It's very good, and yes they do. Multi-kills all around. (Edit: general consensus is that TLord is probably a better PvP heavy exotic)

Machine guns in general are kind of the better all around choice IMO. Though there is no denying the fun factor.

I agree. Machine guns are very versatile and almost guarantee kill streaks. Though I had Truth follow a guy once into a control point where 2 more guys were hiding. It was a surprise triple down, felt so good.

You'll get more kills per mag with a machine gun compared to a rocket launcher, but I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy using a rocket launcher with homing just for the morbid satisfaction I get out of seeing a rocket blow up someone who tries to run away :)
 
PS4 Hard Atheon Kill: record attempt as soon as we get 1 more

6 Lv30s + 6 maxed GHs + 6 Illuminated WoL + Time's Vengeance

1.) Boguester
2.) Astro
3.) Steroyd
4.) Lollipop
5.) Greenymac
6.)

Obviously people who replied earlier should have first dibs but let's see if we can even get enough people.

Probably already filled up, but I'm down to give it a go. 30 Titan, Maxed Ghorn. PSN The_Reckoning
 
The instant kills can be a massive boom though. Especially if you're up against another machine gun. I can see them being essential in small team games when a rocket could take out the opposite teams members who are carrying heavy weapons quickly.

Maaaan PSN's all fucky again. Messages refuse to send most times and arrive ridiculously late when they do.

Astro- we're ready to go as soon as the fireteam's full, you still up for it?


On a similar note- Doing a fresh Normal raid run soon as the team's full. Some experience preferred, if we get vets would like to try for a flawless (why not right?)

Add your names here!

1. ScrewAttack_
2. Johnson646
3. Astro (?)
4.
5.
6.



Also, small service announcement- sorry to Redman_DK (if they're on here) for booting you earlier. Was a bit irritable already and, whilst I was happy to have you on the fireteam, you were really slowing my progress on my fusion bounty and I just wanted it done. I hate doing bounties as it is, much rather burn through them and then do fun stuff with other folks.

So do we still have the people around for this? I will try to send out some party chat invites if I see people online.

Haha sadly we never found a 6th, so I'm not sure if all the other people are still around for it. I can sign back in and snoop around to see who might still be available.

Edit: Party chat invites have been sent to everyone. At least according to psn, everyone is still online... ?

I read somewhere that you have to do the final shot in order to get the bounty. I've had them not work when I play with a group so now I just avoid all those bounties.

The effective range on shotguns is still too Damn good. You can't be like 10 feet away and still getting one hit kills. Shit is Straight garbage.

Disclaimer: just lost a match by 50 points because of a shotgunner, so I'm salty as fuck right now.

All full guys, thanks! Sorry for how shitty I am sorting this out. Shouldn't be put in charge of organising :p Sorry astro haven't heard from you so marching on, but if you still want to do it I'm happy to run it again after this one.


EDIT: All the other folks looking to join that I can't bring too, can you folks start a list here and I'll do another after this one? Problem is some folks messaged me direct so I've added the people who messaged first. Bit messy. Happy to run it twice though.

I'm coming!! Just need to move my VoC and gjallerhorn to the right character
 
Anyone doing a Hard Raid sometime today?
I finally got my main Hunter to 29. I've done normal a bunch of times but have yet to run hard so I've no idea as to what expect.

Have a maxed VoC, Icebreaker and Gjallahorn.

Me and my raid group are a little bored so we thought we try something new tonight.

Why not do a shotgun only raid?

Everyone's primary will be the Universal Remote. Secondary will be Found Verdict.

Just to make sure no one is cheating everyone will equip the white starter rocket launcher.

Hopefully it's gonna be as fun and hilarious as I pictured it in my mind.

Some day I want to see a group try to raid with only the starting weapon. That might be impossible with oracles so maybe take down Atheon with only the starting weapon.
 
Just waiting on Astro and Reckoning, if you guys are still around we can get it going. We've got 4 in the party chat now, and I'm trying to make a Twitch account now.

I ended up soloing it, i went with VoC, 77 wizard (arc) and thunderlord.

I had the nightfall mentality and ended up killing Xyor then Phogoth, because I had the complete a strike without dying bounty.

Also i learned that after you kill Xyor no more adds spawn, so made it much easier ;)

hard raid feels different with all 29 xD
It's extremely challenging. It's still doable but just barely. Every little mistake by any of the 6 players is a potential wipe. Hard Raid on my experience is more enjoyable when a party had at least 3 30's. Not a cakewalk but the margin for imperfect play is a lot wider.
