Eh, probably not possible without Ghorn. I figure RNGesus is preparing me for further disappointment by dropping Hunger of Crota.
I'll join you guys. PSN is Ty_84.
It's been done by a Warlock without a Ghorn.

Anyone up for a run through the level 30 weekly heroic? Or perhaps some GK glimmer farming?
Can you add me? It shows 247 results when I search your name lol. My PSN is btkadams.

Might be possible. Something like the truth has 3 rockets before reloading. Might be able to do it with 3 quick shots
I just had some crazy socially interactive fun, I was doing the hive major bounty on earth. You know the place to the left of patrol start, and I met like 3 other guardians doing the same bounty. It was sort of hard to coordinate at first because none of us could seem to figure out how to get into a fireteam, but that's fine, we used our social emotes to communicate. I waved, they danced, I danced, they pointed, and soon enough we had established some deep form of sign language. I was worried about doing the bounty solo because those dudes down there are tough cookies but with this new found backup I felt unbeatable. We ended up punching out 10 hive dudes like some sort of crazy gang of people in multi-coloured armour, it was super fun running in there punching 3 dudes and running to the back wall only to do it again 3 more times. We had a dance party at the end as a gesture of mutual joy.

I have the cp but thanks for the offer. For the weekly if you still need it cool of not you don't have to go out if your way.

Downing him in 2 swords has nothing to do with sword runner's class. Lv31 of any class can kill him in 2 swords, Lv32 can supposedly kill him in 1. The only thing that matters for Crota is the shield break timing relative to sword runner's approach. Don't need GHorn, just do the same thing each time so the timing is predictable.
I'm not trying to defend this post and he's already been banned anyway. But I do know and play with him a lot and can vouch that he is a good guy and likes to joke around. Some things sounds a lot harsher when posted online. Enough people already criticized the post so I just wanted to stick up for "my people" a little bit.

Well if you're unable to find someone after x time, I don't mind running it with you.
i wasn't offended by his post in the least but i can see how you could have received a sour taste from it. i took it as a joke (as i'm sure was it's intention) and honestly wasn't expecting to see him be banned for that, but its not my business to make those decisions. i remember his "fucking materials, yo" rant, one of my favorite posts in these OTs.

Thanks buddy I appreciate it. I'm in no rush to get it done right this second. Just putting feelers out to see if anyone else still needed to run the weekly as well.

I really hope they fix the notification for the multi-point bounty (the Urn one). I don't want to do it (I have Raid gauntlets) yet the game REALLY wants me to!
oh don't get me wrong im aware that all lv31s do the same amount of damage to crota its not like the hunter hits harder. the only reason why i said its more likely for a 31 hunter to down crota in two swords is because with invisibility you stay right on top of crota after the first down so its possible to get 5 RT hits on him to bring him down. actually its not just possible its necessary, i did a practice run with my group today and counted it takes exactly 17 RT hits at lv31 to down crota. on the first run you get 4+4 then on the second you do 4+5 of course if you miss your 5th hit because crota was immune(you messed up your timing or something) he WILL down you.
now having said all that, of course any other class can down crota in the same number of swords. how they go about doing it is a mystery to me though.
edit:may be 16 hits instead of 17 don't quite remember if my first sword was 3+4 or not.
30 is OK with an Icebreaker or a GHorn.
Yoooo.
What's the easiest way to make friends? My gf and I who play together are having trouble with the heroic Weekly and I myself need a third person to finish my exotic bounty at the Summoning Pitts.
Anyone have any advice? Clans? Destiny forums? We're both still pretty new, me being a 30 Titan and her a 29 Hunter.
We didn't make it to OT 13 without any LFG posts you know.
Thank god I have both. I really want to run for the loot.

Here is my Destiny Holiday Event wishlist
1. That they have a holiday event.
2. That Xur gives every player one exotic weapon of their choosing, from the list of all possible exoitcs, for free.
Hell, I know this won't happen, but it would be nice if Bungie threw players a bone once and awhile. I haven't gotten into the new raid yet, and mostly have been leveling my alts (All three are on the path to 31 now!), so I'm guessing this is why there has been a recent drought in cool new gear, but I'm thirsty as hell.

yep. Deej was right; it really is a "kids these days" thing now. My IRL buddies FINALLY got Destiny a couple weeks ago, and it's crazy how different their leveling/gearing experience has been compared to mine at launch.
In the first pic, the level 11 guy apparently was afk cause I was there for a while and he never moved. Along came this other guy/gal and began t-bagging him. I just stood there laughing my ass off.
The second pic was from earlier. I don't know what happened. I just found his body like that.

We were flawless all the way through twice except for the Templar expulsion bug and the jumping deaths. We said we wanted to try again tonight around the same time 9pm est. I can be on by 8:30. Please confirm if you can make it or if you can't. I'd like to try again as we are very close.
If you were shaky with you jumps then please watch the flawless video linked in the OP and we can practice the jumps.

That looks pretty sweet. Do you have any shots on the pages inside? Would like to see how it's structured.

There is a video on YT going through it all. Mine arrived last week and I love it, it's got some fantastic pieces in there and up there along with the Journey book.

Haha yeah that is classic Yzen humor. Sometimes he uses his power for good, sometimes for evil (apparently).
The invis doesn't matter, just makes it easier/more boring. The shield break team should ideally throw the same damage at Crota each time or at least communicate well so sword guy can time his approach. Titans can jump straight from the ground with upgraded height jump, warlocks can get in position either on chalice table or side rocks. Soon as rockets are shot or damage is being dealt, jump straight up into his dumb face and chop away right as he's dropping.
Not positive about 16 vs. 17 heavy attacks either, but I know you can pick up 1 orb after grabbing the sword and you should have your super up by the end of the second combo. Do 4 R2s/heavy smashes and then quickly throw in the super attack for an animation cancel right after the 4th heavy smash connects.

Been doing some cleanup here today and came across my two PS4 Ghost editions that I had extra. Loaded them into one of my 'forget about it' closets. Will probably come across them again in about 5 years.
Too bad the ghost replicas probably won't work after that time.

Nobody should be attempting flawless, that isn't 100% confident at the jumping puzzle. It's a disservice to the entire team if you do. A fluke pressure mistake can happen (I fell once jumping to the Templar's Well of all places) but you have to be able to clear it 9/10 under regular circumstances.
I stand by the fact that its gets to a point where there's nothing interesting about encountering a stumble in the raid, its already repetitive and grindy, just get through the raid and get the loot, who cares about a challenge, when there is nothing dynamic about it that makes it challenging, Crota is still going to do the same crap every time, you just make a mistake in a pattern and have to do it over.

Yeah I can be on.
For floatingdivider, I would assume it was joking post but posting doesnt allow to indicate the humor part. Always liked his "DLC review"
I'll be online. I won't mess the jump this time, I'll do the safest thing.
I'm sorry :|

Sure, I'm definitely not saying people shouldn't use the invis stuff or anything like that, it's totally fine. It's not any easier than Titans honestly and Warlocks just take a little adjustment. I've done shield break team with a Warlock sword runner where we had 3 straight wipe-less Crota kills. Crota has been on farm in my mind since the first weekend after the raid opened. Nothing wrong with people just wanting their loot and moving on.
haven't really tried the sword super on crota yet since my group has mainly tried perfecting our sword efficiency but would love to give it a try. we know we messed up if it takes more than three swords. also today was the only time we fought crota for anything other than loot(even though two or our guys did get loot) so we haven't really been paying attention so much to the nuances of the encounter so much as the loot we get. the whole invis being boring thing is completely subjective, and you'll likely be saying the same thing once strategies for both lv31+ titans and warlocks become the norm.
