Having read previous posts from you getting el crapola, this is great to see.

Happy Byron is happy. LOL hope to play with you this week despite you already clearing pretty much everything...

Last week was an even better haul with Gjallerhorn! I tried to get a lot done today as I will be swamped tomorrow and Thursday. Hosting Christmas Eve dinner for my family and my wife's family at our house tomorrow.

Excellent haul.

Thanks!

Overkill actually- could have the Helm only to 33, or the helm at 36 and one of the armor pieces only to 30 light to hit level 31.

I love it quite deeply too, Arc burn especially of course. Rapidly threatening to dethrone my 77 Wizard as my favorite legendary Fusion. I do need to see if/where a new school legendary void one is being sold.

Yes it is my favourite fusion rifle next to pocket infinity.

I am so damn jealous of your 331 Vanq. Does it happen to have Perfect Balance?

150 crucible marks takes so long to acquire

It does! I was going to grind crucible to get it but I lucked out!

Dear Bungie Santa:

We've been really good.

Spoiler

please forgive occasional nibbles of tasty fromage

May we please have:

Ammo that doesn't disappear
Bigger vaults above the atmosphere
Boss fights that truly drop fair loot
Yes we're staring at you, Ir Yut
Shaders shading more than clothes
Hair that grows below our nose
Unlimited glimmer, no more currencies
But I'll tell you what we all want to see.
When we wake up this fine Christmas morn
EVERYONE WANTS A GJALLARHORN.

Spoiler

I just want an Ice Breaker.

Amazing!

[Byron Bluth]

That is a great haul.

Question though: Why do you do all of this in the first 12 hours or so of the week? I like to spread my Destiny out a little bit - well I'm actually forced to because of a 9-5 job. I do actually enjoy getting up early on Tuesday and doing the Nightfalls before I go to work though.

I usually do. But see my post above.

Wife and 3 children at Christmas = Very little time this week

 

[Deku Tree]

This week's haul after 3 Nightfalls, 3 Weeklies, 3 Crotas End Raid Clears, 2 Vanguard Packages and 1 Cryptarch Package

CE Titan Helmet
CE Titan Boots
No Land Beyond x2
Vanquisher VIII (331 Auto Rifle)
Plenty of Radiant Shards and Energy - More Energy than Shards
Plenty of Ascendant Shards and Energy
Many Strange Coins
CE Hunter Gauntlets
CE Warlock Boots

Not bad!

Just need 12 more Radiant Shards to get my Titan to 32.

My Hunter has 3/4 CE armour pieces and using an exotic helmet she can get to 32 as well, while my Warlock has 2/4 CE armour pieces and an exotic helmet he can use to get to 32. My Titan has all 4/4 CE armour pieces.

Another good week and we are less than 12 hours into the reset!

Hey congrats Cosmos! You got it all done and got good loot!

 

[Byron Bluth]

YOU'LL GET NO MAN BEYOND AND YOU'LL LIKE IT

I fucking got TWO today!!!

One from killing Crota and another from Nightfall...

Yeeeeeesh

It is so bad. I don't understand why it exists.

 

[LiK]

So are all 32s here currently Titans?

 

[Byron Bluth]

Hey congrats Cosmos! You got it all done and got good loot!

Not too bad at all! Did you hit 32 yet?

I'm only 12 shards away

I'll be on again later if you want to play! I know things have been wonky these past few weeks.

 

[phen0m24]

YOU'LL GET NO MAN BEYOND AND YOU'LL LIKE IT

Already have one.

You're right though - will likely get it again.

Spoiler

Did get a 331 Horn today too though. Santa came early.

But Daddy wants an Ice Breaker.

 

[Deku Tree]

So are all 32s here currently Titans?

I might make 32 this week as a warlock. At least it's possible. I am 11 radiant shards away and I have lots of drops left to roll.

Not yet. 11 shards away and lots of drops left to go. Only done 2/3 of one raid this week and didn't get the first chest yet. I'll be on before 3pm and then at around 9pm. I'd be happy to play. It's also easy to find a group this week if your busy with other activities.

Seems like that

no land beyond is easily the worst thing about destiny

 

[Victory Red]

All I want for Bungie Christmas is for the same 3 exotic bounties to not show up.

249 hours of game time and the same 3 exotic bounties EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I'm sure you can guess which 3 they are.

 

[Byron Bluth]

It baffles the mind. It is so useless and I play PvE only, it must be suicide trying to use that thing in PvP!

 

[LiK]

Seems like that

All 32 Defenders forming a combo of WoL, BoL bubbles will probably be the ultimate speed run, heh

 

[squidhands]

Were you in a mode with Juggler modifier?

I thought so at first, but this has been happening consistently since I got the upgrade.

 

[phen0m24]

What good is a max range sniper rifle with a manual scope?

Step right up folks and take a look at the Moisin Nagant of the Future.

It hits things that you can't even see through your sights!

Yes, those would be iron sights. No, I'm not sure if they're actually made of relic iron.

Spoiler

I think they're made of sharded obsolete VoG raid gear.

I'll be on around 9pm, I'll be glad to help with Nightfalls. I have to do Eris bounties and dailies.

First NF down. 10 ascendant shards.
Grabbed first Crota chest on 2 characters. Radiant shards.

It's not looking good.

Takes about 10 minutes to do that bounty from start to finish. Haven't leveled it up though, so I'm not sure how (super) good it is yet.

Any CE raids after 6 tonight have an open spot for a 31 Hunter or 30 Titan? Gjallahorn and maxed 331 Ice Breaker.

I've heard it's great on the Oracles in that old raid-y thing we all used to do

 

[Shito]

This reset starts ok: got gloves and chest on my hunter soloing the first two phases of CE.
Probably means I'll get jack shit on my warlock...

 

[Acorn]

So many commendations i'll never use

 

[Deku Tree]

Sure.

Logging in now.

Vita remote play in crucible requires such a change in play style! Fusion rifle / shotguns and low recoil assault rifles are the only way.

 

[realcZk]

guys, lets start a changes/wish list for crota's end heroic:

Wish list:

- Crota disconnect cheese fixed
- Bridge cheeses fixed
- A cute lil green sparrow that screams like omnigul when you drive too fast
- Crota can "accidentally" drop the upgraded fatebringer


Changes we know of

- Level 33 enemies (according to the bungie.net advisors page)
- Raid primary weapons will be added to the loot tables

I was playing with some guy and he was just tearing it up with it in Iron Banner. I was brainwashed by neogaf to think it sucked but he proved me wrong

Double the drop rate of shards or a 1:1 ascendant/radiant shard conversion option somewhere in the game without requiring Eris. Seriously. I don't want to grind in order to grind for more shards.

If no revives, then change Ir Yut. That fight is just crazy as is with level 32's. I wonder what the skip rate is on it.

"let's just find a Crota CP, then start fresh and bail at Ir Yut."

Spoiler

bet it happens a good part of the time

Its not that bad. Starting become my PvE weapon of my choice actually.

[Stallion Dan]

This weeks loot:

Warlock
Nightfall - 10 Energy
CE 1st Chest - Rad shards
Lamps - Rad shards, gloves (repeat)
Bridge - Rad shards, chest
Crota - Rad shards

Hunter
Nightfall - Crappy legendary
CE 1st Chest - Rad shards
Lamps - Rad energy, gloves
Bridge - Rad shards, chest
Crota - Rad energy

Titan
Nightfall - Crappy legendary
CE 1st Chest - Rad shards
Lamps - Rad energy
Bridge - Rad energy
Crota - Rad shards


I rate this week a D+

The Raid armour is nice, but bad stats on them, bad enough I'd maybe wait for repeats before investing shards into them. No exotics. Nightfall is crap, Crota is crap. Poor Titan, crap all around for him.

Guess I could VoG hard but not holding my breath for anything.

haha yeah, a lot of people like to skip ir yut. she's a riot. a buddy and I two-manned her after a few tries but it felt a bit cheesy. I remember the first night we did the raid blind and we did it with everyone sprinting in there and trying to hop around the knights while dpsing her. it was pretty damn funny. eventually we got her.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

You don't need either one to beat Crota. You need a primary with a steady DPS output and a sniper/heavy for Crota after he gets up the first time. Corrective measure works fine. Rockets will be fine as well. The Ghorn worship in this thread is out of control. Every other post seems to be about it and it makes some people feel like they can't be effective in encounters without it. Just because a guy solo'd with It doesn't mean a full team also needs to use it.

Beat Crota legit last night for the 1st time and I absolutely agree with this. I have a Ghorn and didn't use it. No one else even used theirs because we were using Icebreakers (those who had them) instead. The people firing rockets were using just plain rocket launchers.

Just because you don't have a Ghorn doesn't mean you're gimped. Play smart with a good team and you'll be fine.

 

[Jrmint]

Don't you dare touch my bridge cheese! ^^

Just about any cheese in CE is pretty much guaranteed to be fixed.

 

[Hawkian]

I really gotta give Luke props for poking his head into the other thread with a ittle note on how the resources are allocated. I know that the consensus here is generally that developers should take what they get from the community and politeness needs to be earned, but I know I wouldn't touch these threads with ten foot pole unless ordered to myself.

 

[Shito]

Yeah, I know, just joking, and enjoying it while it lasts.
I don't think they're too hard to fix, even...
