Destiny |OT14| Sticking It Hard in Crota's End
- Thread starter Hawkian
- Start date
I know everyone has answered you already, but go ahead and start using bounties with it equipped to unlock the upgrades, just don't purchase any until you see if Xur has the upgrade. At least you can turn it in for 2 exotic shards vs one if you have all the nodes unlocked.

What makes thunderlord good in PvP? I didn't know that was a thing.
It should be hard, 5 is too easy. Gotta look at it a bit from both sides. A lot of players have hundreds of these things, and you can come out the VoG with 15 of one and 20 of other in one run on hard. You don't want to invalidate raiding Crota's End too quickly but want to still provide utility to whatever materials are still out there.
The bounty is probably 3 choices for ones you already have going.
Yes. I've made it up there with Warlock. Hunter is much tougher.

Trust me Remote is shit. But for collectors purposes, I understand. I didn't shard the 302 one for that reason.
Hard Light I kind of want since it would mean I have all exotic AR and the weapon has a good sound.

Not about levelling up quick, but about providing relevance to the vault of glass and the materials that we still earn. Heck, dailies... they still provide these ascendant materials.

If you seriously threaten someone's life over a video game, you deserve to be in a mental institution or prison. Either way, you shouldn't be part of free society.
It's worth upgrading even with only 300 attack. High possibility for it to be upgradable though since very few heavy exotics.
Not sure about Hunters but I did it on my Warlock yesterday
Everything. I don't mean that in the way that means "I dismiss your question, it's just very good," literally every property it has is exceptional for PvP. It is very, very likely the objectively best PvP weapon, though of course it comes with the sacrifice of your exotic slot and your playstyle must revolve around knowing and controlling the heavy spawns. example
psn? Thanks!

And we still need Ascendant materials for every other legendary out there that isn't Crota Raid weapons/armor.
So probably something like 96% of all legendary equipment requires ascendant materials to upgrade.
Edit: If you want relevance, let us trade it X ascendant materials for rep to various factions.

Agree with all of this. SM3DW is incredible, so much creativity and variety. As for the spoiler tag,
my wife is not a gamer but loves Cat Mario. We beat every level until that last one, but it wasn't going to happen unless I just did it for her which isn't fun. When 3DW came out I had to slave away awhile to finally beat it, Princess Peach helps a lot.
Tropical Freeze was GotY until Destiny fever got me. Although it's still my OST of the year, with Destiny in 2nd place by a narrow margin.

I've seen every class make it up there.

The only downside is its ammo count, though its only limited when compared to Corrective Measure. Thunderlord however kills far quicker, and easier.
It is the best PvP weapon out there.

Man, you guys are making me jealous I don't own one.
I'm not sure how other people do it, but I've been using the light spot since people were using the first cheese method (the boxes). If you jump on the pole, stand on the highest point of it. You'll have to time your double jump on a hunter to make it up, and it will still be close. It's easy to make it up on a titan and warlock. Focused burst on warlock, upgraded double jump on warlock, and the increased on titan is what I use.
Sunsinger -> Focused Burst
Stand on that little pillar on the side and just glide straight up to the light. It's kinda tough because if you don't get it the first couple tries, Valus will probably kill you or you'll fall straight down to the ground and die.
I still haven't used mine. I have it on my Warlock and he mainly uses a Vex. I'll probably need to work on getting a different primary for him.
Finally, got it.
Looks great! (I'm so close)

Finally, got it.
Got what?
The rank 4 shader from Eris.
Really Sorry! T-44 incoming

I don't know, it's been out for what, 5 weeks? I got to 32 on my main last week, with nothing to spare and an exotic helm. I got a couple more shards this week, but not nearly enough to level my Titan alt to 32, and then I still have my Warlock and 3 helmets.
I figure that I'll probably get all of the shards I need, and level Eris to 4 right around when the next DLC resets everything.

I'll add my name to the list if it's still available. got a 31 Warlock ready for schoolin'.Sunday, 6:00PM EST - Slice-n'-Dice Sword School Inaugural Class
Our first day of sword school is on for this Sunday! The idea here is to let as many people as possible get their hands on the sword in a stress-free context where they aren't worried about the group kill being on the line. I have a loose framework in mind for the group, but since this is the first one, I ask for the patience of anyone who signs up as I refine things a bit.
Minimum level is 31.
We'll load into the Crota CP, start with some tips and drills, and then pop the fight off, let our first participant get in a round of damage to Crota, then wipe, and move to the next. Everyone in the fireteam will get a chance to actually do damage with the sword.
Once everyone has had a clean round, we'll move on to the exam.
I know there was substantial interest in this- signups are open now! First come first serve, though like the newbie raids I ask that attendees simply don't sign up two weeks in a row, to keep the opportunity open.
Roster:
1. Hawkian
2. Narmer212
3. Dr_LawyerCop
4. stb (Berried_Treasure)
5. Buttchin-n-Bones
6.
As usual, most or all of these activities will be streamed at www.twitch.tv/thehawkian
I'll send you a PM about the VoG stuff for next time.

My lock friend was actually the one that showed me. Both of my lock friends made it up during our nightfall the other night.
Thanks HAL-x9000, Heliconsoul, Greyblade and US-Frostburn(even though you bailed on us!) for the Crota kill. Too bad he only dropped a Song of Ir Yut and The Last Word for the group. Also, Helicon, if let me know if you want me to show you how the fights are "supposed" to go and grats on first kill.
With that said, I am looking to kill Crota twice more. I have the checkpoint. Let's do it. Cheese or no cheese it doesn't matter to me.

What level 31 or 32 player needs ascendant shards anymore? After buying a few legendary weapons, energies can stockpile too if doing dailies or vault of glass.
I don't do dailies anymore. Nor do I do Vault of Glass. I would GLADLY do all dailies accross my 3 characters and VoG three times a week if I could use ascendant mats.

Would love to get in on sword school sometime. Idk if this weekend is doable for me but maybe I can be an alternate.
I upgrade lots of armor pieces :[
Just filled up but I'll put you down as an alt!

Ditto. I can only hope for some epic train wrecks and "I'm an idiot" moments. That's where the laughs will come in. Glad it's a low-key kind of thing without pressure.
Thank you kind sir.
Hehe absolutely. I may try some wacky stuff that's likely to end in death when it's my turn too
oh the pressure is definitely on.. ill be judging your actions from 1,000 miles away

Like I said, let us trade them in for rep or something, but trading them in for Radiant materials really isn't necessary.
Would love to get into Sword School at some point. It's awesome that you're still doing this stuff.
Is Sunday @ 9pm est the usual time for Sword School?
