I'm curious to see how difficult it's going to be to get to rank 3 of IB now. I suck at PVP but I've got maxed equipment. Hope it's not too frustrating because I only need boots to get to 30.

 

[Jinjo]

U Wut M8?

They nerfed the spawn rate of the Hive majors in Cosmodrome :c

No they didn't. Did it yesterday and it still works. Go and face against the far end wall, wait 10 seconds and turn around. They pretty much always spawn. With a slight exception sometimes, but I think that has to do with the ship spawning outside.

 

[Schwabe]

First time I noticed it. On different servers it seems to be working then. So many times farmed in AL.

i never opened this chest in 400h O,o

 

[Milennia]

That week off felt great, time for some reset hard raid action

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Normal raid after reset anyone?

 

[Steroyd]

Oh RNGesus, please give my Warlock boots, I don't want to be tempted doing Iron Banner with more than 1 character. :|

And a chest piece for my Hunter if you're feeling extra generous this week.

 

[JayEH]

If you're on PS4 I'm in. RedViperN7

 

[Maledict]

From what I can tell, it's a linked spawn between the three hive majors and the shrek + a dreg + a vandal that spawns upstairs right outside the entrance. If the fallen are up, the hive majors will be downstairs as well. Means I always kill the fallen first to check, and seems to have held so far when I've been doing that bounty.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Shattered Memory Fragment, finally! Can get rid of all these fusion rifles now!

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

Huh?

U Wut M8?

They nerfed the spawn rate of the Hive majors in Cosmodrome :c

Nah, i meant they changed the hive tombships sound.

It sounds like an old screeching door opening,lol.

 

[Kadey]

How does Iron banner work? Is it one on one?

 

[FloatingDivider]

did this patch change the balance tuning on elites to make them even more unbearable solo? Been shooting this reaver captain for ages now. Oh great they patched the archon cheese spot too, the more Bungie patches this game the less I actually want to play it.

 

[JayEH]

Going to be starting a normal raid when the refresh happens in 5 mins on PS4. Add RedViperN7 for invite.

Is he down?

 

[Rixa]

And a chest piece for my Hunter if you're feeling extra generous this week.

I would so much love to have Secondary weapon drop as Legendary (or even exotic). Got 6 primary weapons as Legendary drops and 3 heavy weapons. My secondary weapon is still blue .

I do have 105 marks before reset, so I can go and buy 2nd weapon, but I rather would like to have it as a drop or from Van Guard reputation gain.
Ok, we are doing Nightfall and Normal Raid later today so maybe (I mean PERHAPS) Iam lucky enouhg to get my 7th primary legendary weapon.

Edit: I do have Pocket Infinity quest, with 3/200 mobs killed in Nightfall, might take few trys in NF.

[Owlowiscious]

erg another weekw ithout 1 hard raid done. I keep slacking on that

This.

 

[Shito]

Last time, it was a classic 6 vs 6 control match, so I suppose it'll be the same here.

 

[Kadey]

Last time, it was a classic 6 vs 6 control match, so I suppose it'll be the same here.

Oh so basically it's just like the crucible.

 

[Johan Liebert]

And this weeks strike is.....


THE DEVIL'S LAIR (Sepiks Prime)


Weekly Heroic Modifiers: Heroic, Arc Burn
Nightfall Modifiers: Nightfall, Epic, Angry, Lightswitch, Arc Burn


First time the weekly heroic has ever had a burn.

 

[Shito]

Oh so basically it's just like the crucible.

Yep, classic crucible with special rep, nothing more.

And this weeks strike is.....


THE DEVIL'S LAIR (Sepiks Prime)

Nightfall Modifiers: Nightfall, Epic, Angry, Lightswitch, Arc Burn


First time the weekly heroic has ever had a burn.

Nice!

 

[Jinjo]

Oh so basically it's just like the crucible.

Last time it was exactly like the crucible lol. This time levels and damage/defense do matter. Within 3 levels of eachother you can be competitive. Outside of that the higher level player will appear like a major/ultra to you.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Lol Sepiks Prime and Arc Burn. Should be pretty easy with Fatebringer, Patience and Time and Zombie Apocalypse.

 

[vakarian32]

Nightfall is up, Devils Lair
Lightswitch + Arc Burn

Might run through that first to boost IB rep gain

 

[Midas]

As expected. An easy weekly.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Thanks for the fun raid tonight, guys! I still can't believe Rawr was running around in Level 26 pajamas. And dude ran faster through the Maze than anyone we've ever seen!!

10/10 would raid with you all again!! Peace

Glenn (ColonelOCorn)

Yeah, that was a fun time, even though we all got crappy drops. That's also one of the fastest Raids I've ever done, I think we did it in 90 minutes, maybe less. Rawr hauled ASS through that Gorgon maze, that guy is a machine.

Yeah nice playing with everyone, too bad the drops for everyone was meh. Lol the gorgon maze is not bad on normal, got the timing down pretty good after all those flawless attempts

 

[figadapaura]

Ugh. I hate it when you're just on a roll in Crucible, but your team just feeds so much you still lose.

Sometimes it gets to the point I feel like they're intentionally getting themselves killed.

I see people running towards someone at full health just to melee them.

I don't get it.

 

[Jinjo]

And this weeks strike is.....


THE DEVIL'S LAIR (Sepiks Prime)


Weekly Heroic Modifiers: Heroic, Arc Burn
Nightfall Modifiers: Nightfall, Epic, Angry, Lightswitch, Arc Burn


First time the weekly heroic has ever had a burn.

Nah, we had a void burn on a nexus weekly heroic once too I think. It has definitely happened before.

Where is my goddamn solar burn though?

 

[140.85]

Nice! Got great arc weapons.

Was so afraid it would be dust palace omg

 

[Kadey]

Last time it was exactly like the crucible lol. This time levels and damage/defense do matter. Within 3 levels of eachother you can be competitive. Outside of that the higher level player will appear like a major/ultra to you.

Is the rewards and drops random as well. So basically winning just gives you more marks but even the worst player has a chance of getting something good?

 

[NeOak]

IB up?

 

[areal]

Remember to pick up your free legendary sparrow from the Postmaster.

It's so ugly.

 

[blackflag]

I don't get it.

I think it's just that the reward difference between winning and losing isn't enough for most to care

 

[NeOak]

Nice! Got great arc weapons.

Was so afraid it would be dust palace omg

It won't be for a year at least until it stops being a PS exclusive.

 

[lazybones18]

So how many marks each for the IB armor this time?

 

[Milennia]

Are we still on for the 3 clears? Don't see drizz on

 

[Jinjo]

Is the rewards and drops random as well. So basically winning just gives you more marks but even the worst player has a chance of getting something good?

Pretty much. Once you reach a certain rank (last time it was rank 2) you had a chance that iron banner weapons (a handcannon last time) would drop to you. The rest of the weapons and gear has to be purchased now. It's boots and leg this week. Dunno about the weapon but two you can definitely buy and the other two are random drops (4 in total if I have to believe Bungie's weekly update.

Edit: JUST GOT A SPARROW GIFT FROM THE POSTMASTER!

Nope

2 weeks back to back otherwise they've had the same burns as the nightfall.

Should be a breeze. Same load out as last week is kinda boring though.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Are we still on for the 3 clears? Don't see drizz on

Yep that was the plan.

Edit: for legs it's rank 3 and for arms it's rank 4

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Fresh normal raid PS4

PSN: ck716

need 3-4

 

[Johan Liebert]

Nah, we had a void burn on a nexus weekly heroic once too I think. It has definitely happened before.

Where is my goddamn solar burn though?

Nope

Ah, must have missed it back then. It's been a while though.


But yeah, WHERE IS MY SOLAR BURN

 

[blackflag]

Nice! Got great arc weapons.

That won't ever come up until it's not exclusive.

 

[SlenderBeans]

I don't get it.

I had a 3.85 KD that game. We're were winning for most of it. Then it all went to crap at the end.

EDIT: GUYS I JUST GOT A SPARROW THAT BARREL ROLLS IN THE MAIL.

 

[NeOak]

Edit: JUST GOT A SPARROW GIFT FROM THE POSTMASTER!

Yeah, for having the expansion pass.

And shit. I got boots from the raid 4 hours ago.i need gloves for 30. And they are drops?

Shit. Shit. Shiiiiiit.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Titan who use shoulder charge a lot are the worst offenders.

 

[wonzo]

damn i really wish iron banner was a more permanent thing ._.

e: based sparrow gift

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Nah, we had a void burn on a nexus weekly heroic once too I think. It has definitely happened before.

This. Haven't seen one in what seems forever

 

[Milennia]

Yep that was the plan.

Edit: for legs it's rank 3 and for arms it's rank 4

If he doesn't pop on soon we can always do it later on in the day I only have until 6 this morning

 

[Jinjo]

Shit. Shit. Shiiiiiit.

Armor are buyable, only weapons are drops.

So there are two permutations per armor type with different perks (just different increased reload speed), a fusion rifle and scout rifle is buyable too. Boots are rank 3, legs and weapons are rank 4. No marks needed, everything takes glimmer.
