played 1 game of IB, where 4 players on the opposing team all had Mythoclastts....... worst game ever
Yesterday was a decent CE run for me acquired:
- Boots
- Universal Remote (blah)
- Gauntlets
- Fusion Rifle
- Materials
My raid gear is all focused on discipline unfortunately so might have to use another helmet. Want to work on my alt this weekend so I can run CE again before reset. Doubt I'll get the chest anytime soon, but shards are limiting me anyway.
Still WANT:
- Black Hammer
- Hunger of Crota
- Boots
- Universal Remote (blah)
- Gauntlets
- Fusion Rifle

Not online, just doing Christmas-related errands and such.
Could NOT sleep. After our Crotas (LOL Scarlet we beat it on the first try but then whiffed on the second attempt - poor Forrest) I watched an episode of Blacklist and THEN still couldn't fall asleep.
My boss is off today, so I called out too. Oh well. zzzzzz
Want to raid later and level my Warlock - yes Scarlet is right
Yeah, there was no sleeping for me after we downed him... dat adrenaline
Tonight, I take up the sword...
I am thinking of buying Josh his own PSN to remedy that. Although then he'll have to level a guy again. He won't want to do that.
conundrum
Speaking of kids, yesterday I taught my 2 year old how to play Sonic 2 on my cell phone. Brought a tear to my eye. He almost beat the first boss (with my help).
Also, everyone is passing around Crota checkpoints right, skipping Ir Yut because that phase is hard AND gives no loot?
I have one on one of my Titans, so I can pass the checkpoint to my alt, kill Crota again, and then start the raid from the beginning just the first two easy phases and stop after (hopefully) grabbing the radiant material hallway chest? Someone made that suggestion here yesterday and after fighting Ir Yut for the first time last night, I see why everyone is skipping it.

Anyone use the New Monarchy Judgement VI?
curious to hear impressions.

Speaking of kids and parties, will you keep doing noob VoG runs? My little bro (he's 13) is done with midterms and will begin Destiny tomorrow. I expect him to be Raid-ready fairly soon (kid grinds like nobody on the games he plays) and I'd love to have him join one of your runs.
I'd sit next to him (I'll be home for holidays!) and explain the basics of what's happening. He understands English and can sort of speak it alright though he might get kinda shy
Kid runs are an experience haha. He asked me to run two of his buddies through Nightfall. They were tactically better than I thought - smart use of abilities and supers and weapon load outs. They just kept dying because of a strange impulse to be Rambo-type heroes.

Just solo'd the first CE chest 3x. All I got was shards, energy and hunter cloak. The cloak makes it slightly better than last week where it was just shards and energy.
Oh well, two more nightfalls to hope for icebreaker or ghorn

So there is still only
known in the raid?
2 chests
2 weeks in a row now Nightfall has given me an exotic I did not have. Last week it was Patience and Time and this week it was An Insurmountable Skullfort.
The Skullfort looks great but I don't think the perks on it are terribly useful. I'm not complaining but with Saint-14 and Ruin Wings on tap I don't see the Skullfort getting that much time in use.

Yeah we did this last night. Just do one full clear up to Corta and then pass the checkpoint around. Next character, go kill Crota and then restart and do the first two sections. Third character, rinse repeat.
Ir Yut wouldn't even be bad (with or without loot) if not for all of the freaking adds at then end. Is there anyway to make them despawn after she dies? We tried starting Crota but they were still there. I guess we could start it and immediately wipe.
Yesterday was better than every single other day in Destiny combined for me. Seems like a good one all around yesterday for most.
You raiding with us tonight?
Me too! Suros and Monte Carlo.
It's only for the looks. One of the few Titan helms that look good on a female.

Monte Carlo regenerates your Melee meter while dealing damage.
So if you have a Sunsinger Lock or a Defender Titan, you can be running shooting, then melee to get over-shields, run shoot, get Melee meter full, Melle to get over-shields, repeat
so you can be doing a blitz constantly always getting over-shields.
The only problem with Defender Titan is that his melee has to be a killer blow while the Sunsinger does not require to deal a killer blow but jut deal damage.
It's fun with a Striker Titan, always having Storm First load punch bam

That's my kid's Achilles heel. He wants to be OP. Think: Diamond Armor in Minecraft. And then steamroll everything. I'm like "Yeah buddy the nightfall and weekly only get steamrolled when you use teamwork."
Hey Parent GAF! Maybe we could set that up sometime. My son LOVED raiding with Hawkian and wanted to immediately graduate to hard mode. LOL
What if we set up a GAFOffspring raid night over Christmas break? My son knows the VoG now
kinda
I know Hudson's kids are raring to go, mine is, Ocean's bro, Ghaleon's daughter
?
FutureGAF is looking strong.
Well, I thought so but I turned in a 100 exp bounty yesterday wearing emblem, shader, class item AND after having run the Nightfall and only got 125 exp. So either her stuff doesn't give bonus rep or the Nightfall bonus doesn't work for Eris. I'm not sure which.

So far, yes. I'm willing to bet there are more, and probably conditional similar to preventing Templar from teleporting. Trakan and I explored the maze after forming the bridge (the weight of darkness is lifted when the bridge forms so you can freely move and jump), and found nothing.
My money is on a condition being met at the bridge phase.

Anyone need to run the Nightfall/Weekly? I finally got my titan to 27 so I can switch him in at the end.

yup after weeks of nothing the nightfall granted me the 4th horseman and ice breaker. got the ice breaker on my 3rd alt I was thinking about giving up on. just when you think your out. the game pulls you back in.
Oooh that sounds pretty damn cool. I switch between Striker and Defender depending on the situation.
If you intentionally wipe after the Crota checkpoint then no adds will be there when you respawn. I think most people do that intentionally now.
I tried the cheese and it doesn't seem to work (at least on PS4). I can give you checkpoint in a few hours if you don't have it by then.
I want an Icebreaker so bad. Leveling up my 2nd Titan to give me more chances at getting one. From the sound of it, sounds like I need to roll a third.
Dunno about Glasshouse but Inmost Light still looks kinda big on female.

I got energy last week but got an exotic chest piece yesterday from it and almost passed out. Then, an enemy dropped a legendary engram during the heroic and I probably shat a little. I'm NEVER this lucky. I didn't even realize exotics could come at the end of Nightfalls.
The best past was that it was a piece I already had from before the change in exotics, so instead of having to upgrade it for a shard and whatever else, I got a free one and a shard when I dismantled the old one
Sweet mother of god.
All I got yesterday from two raids was gauntlets energy and shards.
Not a single weapon. They said the drops were better... They lied....
On a happier note, I have fully upgraded boots and need 14 shards for gauntlets.
My friends got the raid helmets and hunger of crota...
SIGH.
Also fully learned how to Sword on Crota, it felt amazing killing him.

She's really not THAT hard but it really slows the raid down. Those adds should de-spawn after she is killed. It's not like anyone is going to wipe to them. It just soaks up time.

So glad to get out of the Vanguard rags my Warlock was forced to wear last week, they were basically those crappy blues I disliked when originally playing up to 20.
Looking kind of hivey now and hungry for more, need to get with a decent team vs crota and not stuck with people who want to have 3 or 4 attempts before sacking it off, so I can get a few weapons and start to put all those rad energies to use.

agreed. Really not hard, I don't get Destiny players, they just want everything on a plate.

Those are the only two I have and they don't bother me with their looks...not that I really care what I look like. I've actually gotten compliments on the Glasshouse which has never happened before with any piece of armor.
Glasshouse is still pretty rare just like with Skullfort since they haven't ever been sold. I always get compliments for Skullfort. It's a rad helm. I wish we had more helms with unique animations.
I have a 2 1/2 year old as well bro. She plays with her momma's kindle and she is genuinely very clever and figures out some of those games on there! It's awesome witnessing your kids figuring things out
She did come up to me last night while I was playing Destiny and said "my turn daddy". I was like "no". Daddy had to grab those first crota raid chests real quick.

She also read 50 shades of grey on mummies kindle, that was an awkward conversation.
If your still looking add Ty_84.
They definitely have been for me since the patch:
Last night and the night before:
- Mythoclast (my first after 2x hard mode per week for 3 months)
- 3 Vision of Confluences
- 2 Atheon Epilogues
- Plan C
- The Last Word
- Hunger of Crota Raid Rockets
- Swordbreaker Raid Shotgun
- Black Hammer Raid Sniper
- Titan CE Raid Chest
- Titan CE Raid Gloves
- CE Raid Emblem
- Cryptographic
- CE Raid Ship
- Up for Anything TDB AR
- Payback TDB AR
- Coiled Hiss TDB Pulse
- The Trolley Problem TDB Fusion
- Several other TDB legendary armor drops
- Lots of raid mats
- 3 new exotic bounties (after probably 2 months without seeing 1)
Just crazy. One Atheon HM drop yieled: Mythoclast, Plan C, Raid Helmet (#16), Vision of Confluence and Raid Ship. Still waiting on Gjallarhorn, but I'm pretty content. Still have another CE run tonight.
