Most likely hints at a rushed strike creation. There was not a lot of ground covered in that BGarden Strike. The time came from overloading the enemy encounters and putting up barriers while waves of ultra yellow bar enemies that give no glimmer when you kill them to prevent easy farming.

I think they put in the semi invisible wall barriers because their player analytics were showing them how almost all players just run past the skipable encounters in the other strikes. I hate invisible walls like that.

Black Garden is actually insanely short. The problem is the average player hasn't figure out the middle area yet. The part with the Cyclops. After you kill that Cyclops, you need to run as fast as you can to get past the area. If you don't, a new wall will form that requires you to kill another set of majors. Majors that don't drop any glimmer at all, since they are considered an infinitely spawning enemy type.

If you have 3 people prepared to take out that Cyclops as soon as you get to that room, you can do that entire strike in about 10 minutes. Which is about average for every other strike.

I tried that once and got bounced back by the wall. Guess I wasn't fast enough? Or maybe because my teammates were hanging back?

(on another note. . does anyone know if I can combine two gamertags, I forgot I had a working Gamertag already: Darryl M R, but now I bought a year for Darryl M R25)

Alright, I will add you. I might do cruicble later, if I see you're on, I will send a invite.

Oh wow. I didn't know that... Probably will never be able to pull that off with randoms in a ROC strike though. Will have to try it next time I have a full fireteam.

 

[btkadams]

Anyone need an extra for Crota? I have the checkpoint (on PS4). I don't mind us cheesing it either. I just want to get it done today before the reset.

 

[Bogeypop]

No need to press all the way down with the perk. It's so good and faster. And also less tiresome for the fingers, imo

Might even have something to do with the newer PS4 controllers (using the white PS4 controller that came with the Destiny bundle). Though I don't recall hearing about any changes to the controller other than the rubber that's on the sticks.

If anyone wants to join in trying to kill Urzok, psn id: DNAbro.

Anyone want to take out Atheon HM a couple of times? I have the Gorgon checkpoint so it'd take a little to get to him.

Dammit, I need to do that with my Titan. But I'm not home atm

Only one person needs to make it through for the add to stop spawning. Though that one person needs to run quite a ways before it triggers. I think I had to run where the old push-wall used to be before the DLC came out.


Edit: maybe it's an old artifact from my NES days, but typically if I ever find myself in a game like this, with infinitely spawning enemies, I take that as a giant hint that either A) I'm not doing something right or B) I'm not in the right area. The fact that the enemies don't even drop glimmer was a giant flag as well.

Dammit, I need to do that with my Titan. But I'm not home atm

Same on my Hunter. Bleh.

As soon as the way is open, I literally just run as far as possible while teammates are there shooting those guys forever. Sometimes they figure it out and follow me. Fucking sucks no glimmer comes from those enemies.

 

[FyreWulff]

Hopefully they learned from their mistakes.

They definitely are

 

[Manp]

Gjallarhorn makes everything so easy.

well everything that's not being likeable

 

[Byron Bluth]

So does the Urn quest give you Eris rep?

I did the first part and it didn't. I am the melee the cursed thrall now. I don't care to get the Gauhtlets since I have the CE raid ones plus better ones like Ruin Wings. But if gives me rep at the end I will finish it.

Anyone know?

 

[PrivateWHudson]

I could use a crota kill if you get a group.

 

[Deku Tree]

Anyone know?

I didn't do it but I read on reddit that people said no part of the URN quest gives Eris rep but it is fun to do

 

[Stephen_drewz]

If anyone feels like giving myself and DNAbro a hand with this urzok kill which will hopefully spawn in around 7 minutes feel free to add tp_Drewz to psn.

 

[LiK]

I didn't do it but I read on reddit that people said no part of the URN quest gives Eris rep but it is fun to do

Bleh, I'm up to the last part so I'll finish it. My alts are gonna ignore it. I don't find it fun.

Thanks for posting this. I fucking hate this strike.

Once I found out what the reward was, I ignored it. Now I get a green exclamation point icon that stays there forever. Thanks, Bungie.

 

[Messiek]

Messy, I won't be able to play much later in the day so I need to knock them out early. Will you be on after reset, if so sign up!

Signing up! I'll be online at the reset, let's kill crota : )

 

[squidhands]

Bleh, I'm up to the last part so I'll finish it. My alts are gonna ignore it. I don't find it fun.

You don't get shards for dismantling the gloves, either. Did it over the weekend with my Titan and all I got was Plasteel. Seems to fall in line with the Queen's armor awards, boo.

 

[Out 1]

I'm up for it. I have Atheon cp which will allow us to skip GKs. psn handle is delamarch

 

[Messiek]

I didn't do it but I read on reddit that people said no part of the URN quest gives Eris rep but it is fun to do

Deku, I can be online for the flawless today if you guys want to.

 

[Darryl M R]

Halo 5 beta is installing on my X1. . 39%, hopefully this will give me enough time to hit Crucible rank 3.

I do not expect to ever hit the crucible mark once I spend this 150. Is there anyway to get more than 2-3 marks per game?

 

[LiK]

Wow, that's even worse. And the fact they make us use a Strange Coin to start it is quite irritating.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Somebody pointed this out on Reddit that the Final Boss of the House of Wolves Raid is probably going to be another Archon Priest. At least if we consider this image the start of a pattern:

Yeah, took me a minute to realize what you were doing. I was sitting there trying to take out thirty freakin' minotaurs.

I still hate that strike though.

 

[noomi]

Signing up! I'll be online at the reset, let's kill crota : )

Woohoo! I'll let Nuszka know to add you to the list. I'll see if Macello wants to join us as well.

Awsome , so we need just three more who are available straight after the reset.

Nuszka my buddy Messiek will be coming along as well, he has a few alts so he should be able to join for at least 2 of them You can go ahead and add him to the list.

*edit*

Got another one for us, Macello that will join Just need one more!

 

[kuppy]

Uh, I thought the online situation was sorted out by now, any idea why I can't connect?
Internet connection test is successful but fails to connect to PSN.

Edit: MTU 1473 worked.

What? I got shards for mine.

Unless they've patched it.

Hmm, maybe I just got unlucky. Nothing at the postmaster, definitely no shards.

It was pretty obvious it was gonna be anyway. An Archon Priest would be the head of the House of Wolves, no? Like House Winter and such.

[Kor of Memory]

I'm crazy excited for the Reef multiplayer map and/or Raid. I love what Bungie does with the color purple.

 

[LiK]

I'll probably see if they're good looking or not. If not, I'll shard them anyway.

Guess we already know what weapon'll be best for the new raid then. Looks like it's Ice Breaker stun locking time.

Spoiler

Assuming the boss can even be stun locked, which I doubt.

I wish it was the Queen's brother. I want to kill that douchebag.

Are we talking 4 am Crota kills here?

 

[Byron Bluth]

I didn't do it but I read on reddit that people said no part of the URN quest gives Eris rep but it is fun to do

I'll do it eventually then. Lame that there aren't any other quests. I was hoping there would be new exotic bounties that had a narrative.

 

[figadapaura]

Destiny 2.....

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

The arms are pretty much the raid arms minus some parts such as a spike.

I did them cause I am OCD about that sign always showing up

I'm hoping for an Archon/Prime Servitor combo for a Final Boss.

With a Midboss (ala Templar) of 2 Spider Tanks.

 

[LiK]

Destiny 2.....

Destiny 3. Killing the brother is the ultimate carrot.

 

[DNAbro]

We killed that bastard Urzok! 2 other guardians were in the area and we just unloaded on that guy.

 

[Sullichin]

Does the Urn quest give XP at each step?

 

[FyreWulff]

Final boss of the raid is going to be a giant Greg.

 

[squidhands]

I'll probably see if they're good looking or not. If not, I'll shard them anyway.

Titan and Warlock gloves are cool looking, I just previously bought upgraded gloves for my Titan and bought the Ruin Wings from Xur, so I didn't need them.
