Haha nice. Of course if we can get 6 before he sells it again, even better. It's just a matter of supplicant control, having enough Defenders so everyone gets the T'sV + 35% buff, and then positioning each member with a clear shot at him. Could even drop the relic for a couple GHs.
Has anyone else been up to the Terminus area before? It's really cool (and 20 bonus grimoire points). Disclaimer: I love this game, easily my GotY. But it's a little shocking how flagrantly they cut finished (or "significantly developed") content for paid DLC. The level/environmental design for this area is as good or better than anything made available on the disc. They just put a wall around the elevator to block access... but didn't build it high enough.
This is definitely something I want to try at some point.

Awesome' fr sent. 3 more?
Been up there, kinda small. grabbed the 3 ghosts (are there more?), still need to get into the kings watch and chamber of night dlc areas and pick up those ghosts (only because the bunker and mars ghosts are glitched for me, and the game wont give me grimoire cards for: motes of light, mars, venus, moon, mercury, and a couple others...
Also surprised they didn't put any ghosts in the VoG.

Nice, good to hear. Speaking of things to try, how would you feel about a hard mode flawless attempt or two someday? Cyborg was up for it, as long as our team was all Lv30s it might not be that much harder (except for stuff like detain shields and fewer 1-shot kills).
Also, if you or anyone else hasn't been to this terminus area you should seriously check it out. I wish a lot more of the game was like this area, has that "Dark Souls world design" feeling to it. I need to learn how to post pictures...
Only 3 that I know of for sure. Yeah, it's kinda small but it also has a bunch of platforms all over that you can actually jump to without constantly hitting invisible walls or "Turn Back" areas (of course those are here too). Also, I love how you can see this huge area floating in the sky above the Citadel... and then you actually go there. Reminds me of seeing Duke's Archive way off in the distance, or seeing Lost Izalith from the Tomb of Giants. So good.

Speaking of ghosts, how exactly does one get new ghost shells? Is it even possible yet? All I've seen is the collector's edition one.
My last 3 FWC levels combined have netted me 2 shards, 2 energies and a Titan mark.
I'm up for it. a_javierp on PSN!

Well The Last Word is definitely my favourite hand cannon. Having TLW, Hawkmoon, The Devil You Know and Fatebringer, it is the best IMO.
The animations, sound, full auto, hip fire perks, etc. just make it a badass weapon overall. Please note I don't play Crucible.
Are there any other hand cannons I should be seeking out now? I am currently doing the Thorn bounty as well.

Thanks for the Hard Raid attempt all, shame we were having lag issues with Atheon which prevented us from completing it... good fun though.

Got an icebreaker! So, u know... 2 energies and weapon parts :/
I got TDYK last night from leveling up vanguard rank... Do you think there is any reason to use TDYK once you have a Fatebringer?

Honestly, ghost shells, weapon, sparrow, armor shaders, ship plans, ect should have been micro transactions to support $10 DLC instead of $20 DLC.

Did the hard raid. Smooth sailing uptil Atheon. Had multiple completely smooth portal runs. Went out w/ Times Vengeance DPSd him and were doing like no damage at all (numbers showed up but health bar barely went down). Got him down only 20% health after 3 portal runs. Went to Orbit, restarted, same problem. Always surprised at the new glitches I find during the final boss.
Got some weapon named Hawkmoon from the first gorgon chest though, seems pretty meh. Was thinking of dismantling it.

I've heard of another one, for which you have to make the game glitch to obtain it at the moment. Probably will be available in one of the two DLCs?

No. Unless it has some perk that is exceptional for your build and play style.
Yeah at least you got an exotic weapon. I've run probably 15 nightfalls and have never once gotten an exotic weapon drop. I've also never gotten an exotic weapon drop in crucible, from a decrypted engram, or raid drop (or anywhere else, ever). I did get two hard lights from a raid chest after running probably 15 raids, so there's that.
Titan is just the best class all round ;D
I'm pretty interested in DPS comparisions between TDYK and FB.
Vendor TDYK has crowd control which increases your damage output after you get a kill. It has 12 rounds in the clip and more range than FB with Send It. FB has 13 rounds with field scout which you should be using in PvE. FB has Firefly which does great AoE damage for precision kills, and with outlaw it reloads extremely fast.
I think that if you are a very accurate player and the majority of your shots are crits, FB will reward you more than TDYK because of the explosions and fast reload, but if you are an average player, TDYK might have an edge on single target dps?
I'm pretty confident that FB outshines TDYK if you're precise with your aim but I'd love to see the paper dps. I bet its not by that much. For what it's worth, I've been using FB since I got it a few weeks ago and haven't looked back since, but recently used my TDYK again and it wasn't a problem at all.
You've pretty much got all the top-tier HCs. Only other ones that might be worth getting are Red Hand IX (random reward from New Monarchy) and Timur's Lash (Iron Banner).

Archon Priest. Arc Burn.
It's a great gun, but be aware that "The Last Word" perk is bugged.
Once you enable "The Last Word", you can no longer crit with hipfire. The perk says "Bonus damage and stability. Extra precision damage when firing from the hip.". In reality, not only do you NOT get extra precision damage from hip fire, you can't get ANY precision damage from a hip fire head shot.
It was a huge let down to upgrade the gun and find it was bugged. I have since gone back to Hawkmoon.

Nope, you will still have your hard checkpoint.
Definitely up for it.

Could be true. But for me, the firefly perk helps me get good. You should be doing everything you can to get crits, and ff lets you know if you are accomplishing that task. Plus arc burn.

Nightfall and loot in general has been amazing for me this week since the reset.
Nightfall
-The Last Word
-Hard Light
-Crest of Alpha Lupi (Hunter, not a duplicate)
Raid was also amazing (only done on my Level 29 Hunter) and got Fatebringer, 2 raid armour pieces I needed and Timebreaker.
Need to run the raid on my Level 30 Titan tonight with my raid group and then will be looking for a normal raid run with my Level 26 Warlock later this week.
A damn good week!
It's also pretty poor for PvE with the low range stat, making it pretty worthless for most PvE encounters which you want to keep some range between you and the enemies/bosses. The damage drops off quite a bit at range.
Great PvP gun though.

You can. I've hip fired with it and have gotten precision damage. Or does it happen less than it's supposed it?
If you're a collector, other standouts you might want to look into besides Thorn are Timur's Lash, Lord High Fixer, and further down the list Venation III and Red Hand-IX.
It shows as precision damage (yellow font) but doesn't do the amount of precision damage its supposed to, or that you'd expect. Check out the difference between hip crits and ADS crits. Regardless, one should always ADS with TLW when they can.
Ugh, I am lacking in Arc weapons other than the Epitath.
Well I only got 5 coins so I think I win the shit reward award.
Johan Liebert
Member
I see. That is disappointing. No wonder hip firing in PVP wasn't that effective at all.
Nope, have been rewarded with 5 coins TWICE in previous runs. 7 was just this week's reward.

I want to raid today. I have a gorgon checkpoint on hard, but will be willing to do normal fresh. 12:45 est, about an hour from now. Reply in a spot, and post your preference of normal fresh, or hard back half if interested.

I totally agree with you here. Solo'd the Nightfall this morning on my main. Got Bad Seed Down Pulse Rifle. Is it any good?
Gonna run it again with my ALT but in a full party and if it rolls a better reward my confirmation bias will be...confirmed.
(Coulda swore I posted this, but GAF says no, so...)
So, ran the Nightfall with my ALT in a full party. Got a Legendary Engram. Took it to Rahool and he turned it into...
2 Energies.
TWO ENERGIES FOR THE NIGHTFALLLLLLLLLL.
WAT.
