Agreed. Don't care for either but dying mind is boring and unimaginative. Omingul not all that great but I prefer it.
Damn. Congrats man!Haha thanks for asking and remembering. 4.0 GPA for my masters so far
Dragon's Breath needs to seriously ramp up the blast radius, duration, and even add some DoT burning effects to all those affected by the Solar Flare so that even if they walk out of it, they'll be taking DoT and could infect others they come in contact with, causing a chain reaction of DoT burning (or does this already happen?)
I think it would give it some unique crowd control effectiveness without going a generic route like giving it tracking or something.
They should also remove the Tripod perk, give it 3 rounds standard, and then give it something else.

The reason I hate the Omnigul strike is because it's pretty much nothing more than standing in the doorway of a room and shooting shit, for every phase of the whole strike. First room? Stand in the doorway. Outside area? Stand in the doorway. Final boss? Stand in the hallway and take potshots at Omnigul and adds.
I mean at least in other strikes you can move around and shit but this one is just poorly designed in every way.

I actually like the Omnigul strike. It has great pacing and can get very intense. The final room is a bit much since it is tough to take it on straight up, but the whole strike is just waaaaaay to long if you are farming marks or engrams.

Yup, artificial walls blocking you in to stop you from blowing through it because they couldn't be arsed to properly design something new and instead just recycle an already existing mission area.

Seconded. It isn't difficult but it pretty much forces you to stay in the first room and run when the waves come out. Although since you are grouped up you can get a pretty awesome super train going. We always have a good time with that.

The strike is just.
Enter first proper room. Deal with 3 waves (while you don't defend your ghost)
Move up stairs
Kill cyclops
Run to area right before boss room.
Kill remaining enemies and then boss.
Want to come help us?
Xbone destiny-ers:
Am I the only one who has technical problems with the game?
If I turn off my system while playing destiny and turn it on hours later, I am greeted with a loud "bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-bd-" sound. The length of the sound is directly related to the amount of time the system was off. It seems like the game is detecting that I should be returned to orbit every 15 minutes and queuing the music each time.
Also, if I am kicked to orbit while the system is off, I have to manually quit the game and relaunch it if I want to play again. Otherwise I sit indefinitely on the black loading screen.
These minor but annoying issues happen every single time, can't they fix this shit?

I'm setting my alarm for 2:45 AM, in order to take advantage of double bounties for Eris. Wish me luck, DestinyGAF! Mr. Sandman normally has his gritty hands tight on me throughout the night.
Super-duper quick mockup of the direction I was going. Keeping it minimal and readable at small sizes (podcast apps on phones and the like reduce the hell out of the artwork size and make readability key).
I am working on my Ubuntu laptop and not my production machine, so I don't have any fonts installed or my usual apps to use. This is juuuuust a sketch. Proportionate sizes of elements and the like would be changed for the final. And Futura would be used. I might add a subtle star-field pattern to the black areas and alternate the radio waves in front of and behind the traveler and tower a bit to create more depth.
But leaving it silhouettes works too--I wanted to evoke the tower, the traveler, and radio waves in the abstract way that the in-game emblems do so well.
Medium.
Readable at small sizes.

I dig it! You really captured the Vex towers. Should it be "mythocast" or "Mythoclast," though?Super-duper quick mockup of the direction I was going.

I never have the first issue you have with the sound. That is very odd. Check the bungie forums if you haven't already.
Sometimes I have to manually quit the game after getting kicked for idling to get it to load past the black screen. Other times I have to manually quit in order for fireteams to properly work (such as when I am inviting friends to my fireteam).
I legit don't understand the PVP stuff... I'm getting one hit killed by like everyone high level and my shots do almost nothing. Caught someone by surprise in my last game and ended up hitting him with 3 shots... it did about 15% damage... to his shield. He turned and annihilated me in one hit.

Are you ready for the next story mission?
Not really possible. All damage is evened out regardless of level in regular crucible.
Unless they had some kind of buff or overshield on (force barrier, flame shield, armor of light, etc).
I dunno. Probably? I got to level 8.
I dunno, man, I'm not that bad at shooters, lol. I'm getting killed in one or two hits, and my shots aren't doing shit to their shields at all.
Anyone have the gorgons checkpoint, normal or hard, I don't mind which, just need to practice the jump puzzle, died twice during flawless attempts today
I always do the spiral platform route. Safest for me. Nerves always got me though no matter how much I practiced...
With a good team the Undying Mind is my favorite strike.
My past 9 Roc Strikes have drawn Omnigul 8 times :|

I can get to the other side no problem, it was the one part where you have to jump out and back in. But I think I found a route that is actually on the very top I want to try out, seems a lot more certain. I'm using my warlock for the attempts, I suppose Titan or Hunter might be better, but my lock is lvl 32 and I just like playing him. For some reason even though I left during that phase when I came back I had the aethon checkpoint instead of the jumping puzzle.

What type of guns are you using?
That's good. Hard should be at least one level up. Having two people helps. Once I hit 16, they will die a lot faster.

Anyone planning to run VoG?
I took inspiration from the emblem marked c37. Luckily, the silhouettes should work with any color scheme with a decent contrast in values between the hues. This is SUPER DUPER early.
i keep getting it too, people keep dropping out :/

Haha why does this exist? And how much did Bungie pay him to do this?
They could have used that money to make more game content or better design choices.
Still want that checkpoint?
I played the credits, but the game audio was super low with chat prioritized and didn't catch the song. Ugh. It's... crap.
It and the Black Garden strike are rife with AFK and dropping. :/
