After doing the raid with all of the classes, i think i prefer titan the most. I seem to do more damage and take less damage. plus titan and hunter are great for getting past the op ledge in case you get bumped, you can actually usually make it back up onto it. my only problem with hunter is i've had the jump glitch and on my first jump, it gives me my second... Warlock makes for soft safe landings but cant do clutch saves with its jump.

Not a glitch. It used to be a problem for me until it was explained. It's when you are running off of a platform and push just a bit too far and your first jump is really a mid air jump, so you essentially used up the #2 part of a double or triple jump. I think the way the Hunter jump works really promotes a last second launch since you need that to get quality distance like the other classes.

[LiK]

Yeah they nerfed the vex so i wanted to get thorn going. They nerfed it the day after i get it :/ cant win.

use some FRs

 

[stb]

I wouldn't mind, I'm not quite sure when other players will be on as well.

Great; why don't you make a "roster" post, then? Those seem to attract more attention.

 

[Twilight Gap]

who's on for crucible?

 

[squidhands]

some rare hand cannon nobody knows about that i thought looked kinda cool (lock_arete)

I just got that one the other day. Normally I dismantle rares, but it looked cool enough for an alt to use.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

In my opinion, no. Its all i wanted to do for iron banner was use my thorn and bungie fucked it all up. I think I ended up playiong like 2 IB matches because of it. FUCK YOU BUNGIE.

Also all this flawless run talk. We talking hard or normal? If we are talking normal, then I can run a flawless all day with my eyes closed...Hard is a little tougher but i still think manageable. Luckily, Im one of those people who doesnt get nervous.

Lol flawless is flawless. Who would want to do it on hard?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

who's on for crucible?

Looks like Kartik might have signed off, but me (drdrizzay) and astro are up for some. Looks like Rubenov just finished his raid also.

I know for a fact I could do it, hell last week's Newbie raid 3 of us made it to the Gatekeepers without dying. But the stress... yikes. I mean sometimes I just fall off stuff. D: And the supplicants want to be my friend a lot

I dunno, maybe one day. I just hate the idea of dying and ruining it for the other 5 in the group so, so much. I love the VoG and don't want it to stop being fun because of that added layer.

Yeah you could do it easily I'm sure.

1.) We prioritize supplicant control big time so that they should never get very close.
2.) Everyone who has run flawless is very familiar with that stress of not wanting to let people down. Honestly its always been the biggest motivating factor for me to try and play well/concentrate.
3.) It's definitely stressful, and maybe I'm just masochistic like this, but its a very invigorating and fun type of stress. Personally I recommend only 2 runs max at any given time just to keep the stress at bay. We definitely ran it too hard back when we were first doing it, haha.
4.) I bet a lot of people around here who already have the trophy would run it with you so that way you wouldn't have to worry about messing up their achievement and it would be more fun.

 

[MisterAnderson]

If you're the relic holder, after being TP'd you kill the mobs inside and then drop the relic to shoot the oracles, picking it back up to cleanse in between.. You want to use MG or rocket launchers if possible, golden gun, and some oracles are able to be destroyed with the relic shield smash mid-air.

Right before you get teleported, you'll need a sunsinger warlock to stay outside and die before Atheon opens the portals, then self-revive as soon as you get teleported so they can stay outside to open the gates and let you back out.

I was under the impression if the Relic is dropped and picked up again, the cleanse cooldown is reset?

 

[Manp]

Yeah they nerfed the vex so i wanted to get thorn going. They nerfed it the day after i get it :/ cant win.

just stop playing man, you're ruining the fun for all of us

 

[Johan Liebert]

Finally! That last upgrade bubble on Defender took forever haha.

 

[EL CUCO]

Is Thorn still good in PVP after the "unintentional" nerf?

Yup it's not as good as before but undeniably still effective.

 

[SharkJAW]

I was under the impression if the Relic is dropped and picked up again, the cleanse cooldown is reset?

IIRC, that doesn't apply if the same person picks it back up.

 

[LiK]

Yup it's not as good as before but undeniably still effective.

I still need to upgrade it to get the DoT effect. Crucible bounties should make that easily attainable.

 

[darkistheway]

I've got to do it twice more too. I'm Pacific time but flexible. Psn - someday.

Want to help me at around 12:15 Pacific?

 

[Greenymac]

Lol flawless is flawless. Who would want to do it on hard?

I was thinking we were talking hard flawless seeing as everyone has been talking about failing...So I guess Im ready for flawless whenever a group can form up and it matches my schedule. Hoping DRDrizzay will be there too.

 

[Strider]

Finally! That last upgrade bubble on Defender took forever haha.

Congrats!

dammit, all my bros are playing and i'm stuck at work doing OT.

Yeah it's worth it! It makes the fun level on the gun go off the charts. I love shooting Hive/Fallen ships and watching them glow green during public events.

 

[jett]

Does anyone else dislike the proportions of the male characters? The leaner look of the girls looks so much better it's not even funny.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Thanks. I guess I'm playing it wrong, just running and gunning. I need to hold back, which isn't my normal play style. Patience is key

If you like to run and gun then equip a void shotgun and stay in close quarters where you can be effective

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Never run into this glitch. can you elaborate more?


Got wrecked by it last night.

I think the two-man Raid team ran into it if you're interested in a video of it, but basically you'll complete the Gatekeeper portion and suddenly the whole team will be Expunged. When a Raid group I ran with encountered it, we actually were expunged twice over; we finished the fight, were expunged shortly after, and upon respawning we were expunged again.

At first I thought we had minotaurs sacrificing in the conflux at the last second since this was shortly after the update that was causing vex to spawn on/next to the conflux, but it happened another time when we had only one sacrifice near the beginning of the conflux defense portion.

If you were to dig up OT9, that's where a lot of discussion on the issue took place.

Aggro'd wife while at work, I am out of Xbox One HM raid (if I was considered). May jump on WAY later, if you need help.

 

[realcZk]

I was under the impression if the Relic is dropped and picked up again, the cleanse cooldown is reset?

I'm pretty sure that it keeps the CD where it was at when you dropped it and doesn't continue to cooldown until you are holding it.

Wow, the long-distance aggro. Rarely seen.

[Spy]

I have been doing the raid since the first week it was released and have finally collected every raid weapon, just got the Vex Mythoclast. Sitting at level 30 with 2405 Grimoire Score and not sure what to do now, lol.

 

[MiniBossman]

Anyone to try Xyor for the Thorn bounty?

 

[darkistheway]

Stockpile materials in preparation for the Dark Below and all the fab new weapons?

 

[PrivateWHudson]

All of this talk about Guardian Lord got my curiosity churning... What would it take for me to get this trophy? Lets see:

Relic Hunter - Need to play some salvage games I guess.
Raiding Party - Should be pretty easy since the [GAFR] clan looks to be growing.
Flawless Raider - Once Xur has his Black Friday Gjallerhorn blowout, I'll be ready to flawless.
Ghost Hunter - I would probably have to coordinate this one with some music, my grimoire cards up on my phone, and a tablet with the location youtube video running.

I'm kind of surprised that I'm only four trophies away without consciously going for any particular trophy.

 

[IXIKelsonIXI]

Amazing OP, Hawkian. Well done.

Congratz! On other note, currently rolling with 3 level 30's just in time to grind out for the new gear in the DLC..

Tell him I said hes on my fucking list....lol

 

[Hawkian]

Man... not to go off topic or cross-pollinate but I cannot believe that Guild Wars 2 and The Dark Below are at this moment the same price. silly gaming market, you cray

Is Thorn still good in PVP after the "unintentional" nerf?

Imo, yes. You can build around its weaknesses just like you could before- anything for general, primary, or hand cannon reload speed makes it beastly- and it still carries a sort of intimidation factor that's hard to put my finger on. If you get good with it now you'll be superman after the buff.

Finally! That last upgrade bubble on Defender took forever haha.

Grats! You're on the list.

Nah people were failing more due to the pressure than anything.

Hope we can get a list down on prospective flawless raiders now. We have enough for a team...

So far we have (the ones that I can remember)

Me
You
Boguester

Would anyone else interested put your name down? Maybe we could organise a time that would suit most people...

 

[Twilight Gap]

so annoying playing with a controller that will drop me out of sprint or randomly make me walk half speed

Interesting. It also happens if you're not on flat geometry though, and it's the only class i've run into this issue, therefore i classify it as a glitch, but if that's the intended use then i'm glad i never have to run the VOG with my hunter ever again.

 

[spyder_ur]

Oh don't worry, spyder_ur was telling me about how he got two Hawkmoons from Nightfall this week.

That's true, got one to spare.

Hope Tyler isn't reading...

I really hope that Bungie releases Crota's End on the same day the DLC releases, and not 1 week later.

alright cool, i'll try to level it up to get all the perks for it. I'll probably give Thorn to my Hunter and let my Warlock keep TLW. Maybe I'll get TDYK for my Titan instead. I joined the HC club.

I don't play the crucible much, is The Last Word worth upgrading?

 

[hydruxo]

Yeah Urk said in the last OT that they're planning on releasing it day one.

 

[Strider]

I really hope that Bungie releases Crota's End on the same day the DLC releases, and not 1 week later.

That's the plan at the moment according to Urk. You already have a group lined up to do it the day it releases?
