Thanks so much to everyone who helped me see the end of that raid.

Three Crota kills. Three Crota fuck you rifles.

[Namikaze1]

A team of six Sunsingers huddle together to commit ritual fusion grenade suicide. Sounds like a blast.

Spoiler

Also good luck swordbearing as a Sunsinger on HM.

Shh! Let them find out the hard way.

 

[Rubenov]

Depends on the situation, as with everything, but I do think Black Hammer is better than Gjalla for quite a lot of bosses.
All the ones you can stagger, to start with something.

Well, the truth is you can have both at the same time. I'll grind till I get the hammer.

 

[EL CUCO]

The raid should have been killing Oryx.

Destiny 2

 

[AmateurHour212]

Good first run on the CE raid with my Hunter.

1. Raid boots
2. Raid gauntlets
3. Black Hammer (no I haven't been able to really try it out yet, but I hear amazing things)

Yellow Knights..... ._.

Have you already forgotten about my new machine gun? You know, the one that can shoot through their stupid walls?

I got this, Math.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

My upgraded Suros can be fully maxed out any time, I just need the glimmer for the last upgrade. My upgraded Ice Breaker needs four more upgrades to be fully maxed out. My Crota's End machine gun just needs 13 Radiant Energy to be maxed out.

Funny that you're focusing on the same stuff as me.

Got my crota MG all maxed except need two more shards to fill it. IB is maxed, Suros is about halfway. Need to grind hard for that one tonight.

How many points short are you of hitting level 2 with Eris?

 

[realcZk]

Shh! Let them find out the hard way.

imo nothings very hard if you have the ability to cheat death, definitely the most broken super in the game

 

[Johan Liebert]

lol cleared it in one run. Damn Dhruv you really know how to work that sword.

im upto 6 clears in a week.

I should've done that stupid bounty...

 

[Shito]

If Bungie really wanted to make the raid hard, they would add the Nightfall modifier to the hard version of CE...

Well, the truth is you can have both at the same time. I'll grind till I get the hammer.

I. Didn't. Even. Think. About. That! :O
Silly me... I want it even harder, now...

 

[Toejam2501]

Havent been on in a few days... We hate warlocks now?

My goal is to someday be as good as Dhruv is with a sword.

Lol damn, man. That sucks. Sorry I had to dip out to work. I'll run it again tomorrow with you guys.

One more spot for pvp ps4 paint train!

I should've done that stupid bounty...

Hmm. I did all the bounties I'm pretty sure, and by my calcs I will still be short after doing todays...the new ones are worth 250 altogether I am told. I am 292 points away.

How much bonus do we get on these for nightfall?

 

[Namikaze1]

Fuck it. Glimmer farming it is.

 

[realcZk]

I've always done the 3xR2 on Crota but I just read about the R2 animation canceling. Is it just R2 then a quick tap of R1 followed by R2 again? R2 R1 R2 R1 R2

Wonder how much of a difference it makes. It's very possible to get 4xR2s in without that if its timed perfectly.

 

[scarletham]

[Kaiken]

Did anyone get a chest drop from the CE raid yet?

With the Nightfall bonus, I got 311 when I handed today's bounties in.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

Oh sweet! So I will hit level 2 today then

 

[Kensuke]

Valus Ta'aurc, the Archon priest and the Nexus are reaaaally easy to crit.
But yeah, it's a more situationnal weapon than Gjallarhorn.

Sure, they're not so bad. But even some of those recoil their heads pretty hard, making you miss a shot. I guess if the whole team is using them you can keep the stunlock alive.

 

[diablos991]

Did anyone get a chest drop from the CE raid yet?

A have seen around 4 drop this week. (None for me though)

 

[blackjaw]

Did anyone get a chest drop from the CE raid yet?

Yes, I saw misterthirsty get the titan chest on Friday. Shards for me, all around.

[X-Frame]

I watched my son accompanied by PrivateWHudson's son take out Xyor on Saturday. Yes they had help.

Spoiler

If you read GAF, thanks Dan

. They were laughing, yelling things like "Aaaah" and "Don't die!" and were pretty hilarious to watch. But they did it together.

Reading this thread sometimes I think we kind of lose that spirit of grabbing a friend and having an adventure. Reading whoever wrote "Horrible Crota teams" - wow. Can only imagine the fun had in those rounds. Yikes.

If people are taking it that seriously and you find me in "your" game please let me know - I'll gladly give up my place to a more "1337" player.

Great post Colonel! I agree 100%!!

The spirit of the FunRun

Exactly, the Fun Runs are awesome, especially when Ahhhhnold makes appearances!

I've always done the 3xR2 on Crota but I just read about the R2 animation canceling. Is it just R2 then a quick tap of R1 followed by R2 again? R2 R1 R2 R1 R2

Wonder how much of a difference it makes. It's very possible to get 4xR2s in without that if its timed perfectly.

I saw that too, I'll try and practice it when I grab the sword during the patrol missions. If it works, then that must be the most DPS you can do given the timeframe if someone can pull off the animation cancelled consistently.

 

[rNilla]

If Bungie really wanted to make the raid hard, they would add the Nightfall modifier to the hard version of CE...

I'd take a VoG variant with Nightfall. Would be a "fun" reason to revisit aside from ascendant materials farming. Also, they could make it drop upgraded raid weapons

 

[Toejam2501]

Have people seen Helmets yet? Those are HM only along with Primary weapons?

 

[R0ckman]

i have a titan i want to take through. what time this evening?

around 6:00 CT, I'm on PS4.

 

[Namikaze1]

Yeah, hard mode only.

Something tells me we'll find out tonight... maybe...

Sweet. Just need that and boots to get to 32!

 

[matmanx1]

I have the 331Thorn almost fully upgraded and its a beast. I've heard people say it's a PvP gun, but I've been using it in PvE and absolutely wrecking. After patch, it's the best hand cannon in the game in my opinion, and I have them all. The range now is amazing.

My new Thorn is at 312 attack (still need the last row of upgrades) and I love the DoT and weapon handling but I'm not sure the time to kill is any better in PVP than my 300atk The Last Word. The Last Word just shoots so quickly and the hipfire precision damage bonus is beastly.

One advantage Thorn does have is range so on a map like Rusted Lands I choose Thorn regardless. Oh and it also shoots through Titan bubbles so that is a plus. =)

 

[Midas]

Did anyone get a chest drop from the CE raid yet?

Yeah. Got one for my warlock. I'm currently in a debate with myself about if I should trade radiant energy for shards and do everything I can to hit 32. But maybe the raid weapons will be needed for hard mode. I can only imagine how it'll be with more majors/ultras and arc shields...

 

[TheTylerDurden]

No question that you should go for armor first.

Weapons are everywhere. Armor, not so much.

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

lol cleared it in one run. Damn Dhruv you really know how to work that sword.

im upto 6 clears in a week.

We were running into an unlucky streak before you guys came. I'm just familiar with yours and auto aim's play style and damage throughput which helped a lot.

 

[Lima]

Man my friend who is even more hardcore than me deleted Hunter after Hunter this week to get to 32. He did manage that a couple hours ago and I was curious how fast you can take down Crota if the Swordbearer is lvl 32. He died in one sword run with two downs. I was like wat.

 

[Auto_aim1]

That Undying Mind strike is awful. Hardly any creativity.

 

[Midas]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I would already have enough shards to max one raid gear, if it wasn't for that you need to be level 4 with Eris to trade...

lol, wow. that's quite the grind... 63 radiant shards?

wat

he ran the raid on a hunter, deleted it and grinded a brand new one to do it again?

i could play 24/7 if i wanted and even i don't have that kind of time.

 

[Anastasis]

Is anyone planning a raid tonight? My wife and I would like a shot at crota. We'd like some guidance though, not just rushed through it. Also would prefer minimal cheering. We 'd like to learn the tactics now, and not when bungie patches in fixes later.

I've never run it but I'd like a shot as well. I'd only be able to start around 10pm CST maybe 1030 and only can play until 1am. If you're cool with that, we just need 3 more.

 

[Navy Bean]

How long until Bungie decides that the sword user should be "randomized"?

That seems like it would need to be done like at least four times. Did your friend run the nightfall and weekly each time too? Wow.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Hi guys remember me? Haven't played in awhile, my kid accidentally bought the expansion so I was going to get back into it.

The CE ship is just the VoG ship with crunchy Hive shit on it.
