This chest that you guys are talking about... what drops from it. Chance at exotics or no?

Yes clanmate got Dragon breath and i got buffed Ballerhorn.

 

[GlamFM]

First DLC opinion: both new strikes are garbage. Short, uninspired, just really bad.

 

[colinp]

Ok, I'm done my bounties, what can I do to level my gear outside of that?

This chest that you guys are talking about... what drops from it. Chance at exotics or no?

Ooh, I haven't heard about this chest. Tell me more! Where is it in the new raid?

 

[Hawkian]

You can solo the chest. Its pretty nice, solo it 3 times a week. Gives exotics.



Well, once I reach wolfpack on my new 302 one, my old one is getting sharded I'm afraid. Need dem shards and 300 was underwhelming in Crota. Took me over 3 against sword knights I think.

You were the same level?

 

[Orthogonal]

No, I did three story missions and I can't select the strike yet. I can select two of three of those story missions now, but not the first

Hm, yeah, I don't see the first either. Maybe we can't do it again. Ran the 2nd again for the 25 Hive Knight/Wizard kill bounty.

 

[Strider]

O_O ok I need to do this lol is there a video showing what to do and where to go?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Solo the chest? Is this raid related? Is it the first part or something?

Its

Spoiler

before you even reach your first enemy.

When you fall down, there are 2 spots where it can spawn. One spot is at the left of the entrance, there is no enemy. If its there you're lucky. The other is after 2 light pillars.

You were the same level?

They're 31, I was 30. So yeah that does factor in. But still, using buffed Bhorn will be better

 

[Namikaze1]

I enjoyed the new mars strike a hell of a lot more than the new Crota one.

 

[Gurrry]

Havent bought the DLC, not sure if/when I will.

However, I keep hearing about this "chest" in the raid that is super easy for farm exotics from.

I am willing to bet everything I own that in the next update, that chest will be removed or nerfed to ass mats.

Seriously, everything I own on the line. I can assure you I will win the bet because Bungie's priorities are to nerf anything that is easily exploitable.

Any takers?

Garbage in terms of development resources on Bungie's part, but I thought Crota's Will was fun, most intense strike yet.

 

[BokehKing]

No, I did three story missions and I can't select the strike yet. I can select two of three of those story missions now, but not the first

There are more than 3 story missions, just found out myself, after doing "kill 25 warlocks or knights" you get 3 patrol bounties for earth

 

[Twilight Gap]

100 more rep till i can buy this goddamn helmet

Nope, it's just a regular raid chest. You only get a shot at it once a week.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Bungie will nerf chat chest no doubt.

 

[ocean]

I guess if they didn't everyone would just buy the vanguard stuff and be 31 by the weekend?

I dunno.

Since we can use Crucible and Vanguard I expect most of us who post actively here to be 31 before next reset.

 

[IXIKelsonIXI]

Do mobs in the raid start at level 30 and end at 31? Or 32?

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Anyone need an extra for Crota raid?

 

[Gurrry]

Lol.

Can someone explain these missions to me? They kept saying they made these story missions more cinematic because of the outrage from the main storyline. However, from what ive read, they sound like the same dreadful and uninspired crap.

Doing a chest run on each toon right now (or in five minutes when I can kick the kids off) before the nerf. Anyone want to join me?

 

[Darryl M R]

6:30 PM EST raid group forming yet? Can I get a PS party invite

 

[Orthogonal]

Nope, it's just a regular raid chest. You only get a shot at it once a week.

Still too exploitabe for an Exotic roll. Wonder how this ever made it in. I am sure youtube will be all over this.

 

[Gurrry]

Nope, it's just a regular raid chest. You only get a shot at it once a week.

So I can easily go solo with all 3 characters and get a shot at an exotic 3 times with little effort?

Yeah, I think my bet stands. It will be nerfed/removed.

 

[Bollocks]

First DLC opinion: both new strikes are garbage. Short, uninspired, just really bad.

For real, there's no new gameplay mechanic, just straight up kill everything.
At first I thought it's kinda neat that the section on earth is now accessible but then I realised 90% of the strike is in areas I've already been to countless times before.
Stockholm syndrome indeed.

 

[GlamFM]

Don't know, feels like a horde mode to me.

 

[gutter_trash]

Bungie will nerf chat chest no doubt.

all dive in tonight while we still can

 

[Jinjo]

Lol.

Can someone explain these missions to me? They kept saying they made these story missions more cinematic because of the outrage from the main storyline. However, from what ive read, they sound like the same dreadful and uninspired crap.

They are. It's just old missions in reverse with a new area at the end where the boss hides. Replace Ghost with Eris spouting story nonsense.

Still don't know what the fuck Rasputin is good for.

 

[Kadey]

Where is this chest at?

 

[Korten]

Me and my friend (29 and 30 respectively), just duo'd the nightfall... That took us over an hour and was so nervewreckingly difficult. My hands feel like butter now...

 

[wonzo]

solo'd the raid chest and got radiant energy. orz

 

[BokehKing]

Lol.

It's not cinematic at all, I'm killing shit and having fun

 

[Byron Bluth]

I am awful at crucible. I can't even manage doing the daily bounties.

 

[Orthogonal]

Don't know, feels like a horde mode to me.

Haven't done the Nightfall yet, I am sure my opinion will change by then. It was fun the first time. 10x from now?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Those story missions are terrible but give good exp. Solo on 30 was challenging. Still have to do these on my alt, will equip baller for easy exp.

The nightfall strike I did until h alfway with one friend. It was pretty great so far I played. best strike yet?

 

[Sergoes]

If you're down on the DLC and haven't gotten a chance to try the new raid, give it a go asap. It's incredible. The raid team must be so separate from the mission team. The quality is so drastically different when comparing the two experiences.

 

[MrAnderson]

I don't know if anyone has reported this, but I just did a HM VoG and got universal remote from Atheon with 300 max damage. Is it supposed to drop pre dlc DMG exotics?

 

[BokehKing]

How can you feel anything if you didn't even play the story missions yet?

Or worst? Maybe?

Another reason not to play VoG anymore, sad.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

What is this chest every one keeps mentioning?

Also, anyone doing for raid? Any raid.

Seems that way. Intentional.

I'm just starting it right now. I can't mic.

Anyone can join, set to open.

Thanks again mate was a pleasure and I got the exotic legs!!!! yay

Damn.. so this quote directly from their FAQ about The dlc is a lie?

The story missions will take you into untapped spaces with brand new encounters. There’s new music, custom effects, and some serious challenges to undertake. The Strike and Raid will also feature beautiful new spaces and difficult new engagements to overcome for you and your Fireteam.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Just ran the night fall and a guy got the exotic hunter boots, I got the last word (upgraded version naturally) and poor mind log got some shards sucks dude.

 

[OJdaKiller]

Is it possible to solo the weekly heroic strike? I'm a level 27.

 

[Jinjo]

Damn.. so this quote directly from their FAQ about The dlc is a lie?

There are new spaces with new encounters. You just have to run through 10 minutes of old content per mission to get there.

 

[Mindlog]

Thanks again mate was a pleasure and I got the exotic legs!!!! yay

Thanks for the help =]
Nightfall wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but it does test your patience.

Newman.

 

[border]

What do I have to do to unlock the Weekly/Nightfall?

I've done a number of Eris missions. Now she just gave me 3 cryptic quests about finding enemies in the Cosmodrome to "lure out" big bads.

 

[SlenderBeans]

Damn.. so this quote directly from their FAQ about The dlc is a lie?

No, you do go to new areas. But a good chunk of each missions is old areas.

 

[colinp]

This thread moves fast.

 

[k1t4j]

Is anyone doing the weekly and need help on PSN.
