My guess is Hard mode will be the following:

-More Wizards.
-vestiges every where.
-No revives.

Edit: Top guess for top page

 

[DJ Lushious]

Anyone have a group going for IB tomorrow? First time I've actually set up a "PvP" build, tried it out in rumble and got 10 kill streak two times in a row.

My experience from last time I played IB is that GAF >>> Randoms.

I'm sure we're going to have lots of groups going. I know I am going to focus on Iron Banner this week, as I am actually going to have the time.

 

[The Lamonster]

[*]Maps (Asylum, Anomaly and Burning Shrine) have been added to most PvP playlists, including Iron Banner.
[/list]

So IB is classic maps again and not DLC?

How do we even know anything about IB map rotation at this point?

 

[phen0m24]

Yes, I did this last week repeatedly. I think there is a video of me on Twitch with Hawkian where I was doing it.

The Deathsinger or the wizards that you lure out?

 

[Robdraggoo]

Yes, I did this last week repeatedly. I think there is a video of me on Twitch with Hawkian where I was doing it.

really? they didnt fix that cheese?

 

[Owlowiscious]

Do I make my unlisted videos public? I don't think it's a secret and someone even posted about it earlier.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Ir Yut starts her song as soon as you go out the hallway where you spawn now, doesn't matter if you don't aggro the knights or not

Meh, not a big deal. Takes away an extra 30 seconds or so?

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Another call for the first chest if anyone wants it. It's in the first room

 

[E92 M3]

Lol. All double exotic roll dreams shattered. Told you guys.

IB loot is good. Will play with my warlock I think. Shame the chest is only light 33.

Bungie noticed all the talk of doubling up and decided to release early. If everything was on the hush-hush they would have released on Tuesday with no recourse for people doubling up. At least that's my theory.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Confirmed by several GAFfers. Key thing to note here, as you put it, is they are in the loot table now, and not necessarily will drop.

Yes. Got one like 3 seconds after the patch. Was the first to mention it I think.

 

[Robdraggoo]

My guess is Hard mode will be the following:

-More Wizards.
-vestiges every where.
-No revives.

Edit: Top guess for top page

oh, i didnt even think of the vestiges. during the crota fight they wll prpbably place one on each side top of the stairs and one at the entrance to to the entry way at the bottom, maybe one at random on either side of crota

 

[Byron Bluth]

Wait, public events are giving radiant mats when completing the event itself or the daily reward package?

Or both?

Crazy if the actual event completion, because then you can farm the shit out of them.

Weight of darkness x10 if your not holding the chalice.

 

[zewone]

LiK, do I make my unlisted videos public? I don't think it's a secret and someone even posted about it earlier.

Is it about jumping from rock to top of Pit?

I posted a video earlier.

oh god you are so right

I'd like to know this as well, farming public events is actually fun.

The floor of the Deathsinger's room and the surrounding rooms will have more vestiges on the floor than the 1st section has Thrall.

 

[plantedunicorn]

I hope they don't do the no revives thing in hard mode. That is the very definition of artificial difficulty. It's more frustrating and annoying than challenging. Up the revive time to 45 secs or even a minute but the no revive thing just sucks.

Only got one in the package. But I did the public half a minute before I got booted for the patch. So dunno that one.

 

[Deku Tree]

Does anyone have a video of how to do the crazy path of jumps to the "above the rock" place during Ir Yut ?

 

[Robdraggoo]

Weight of darkness x10 if your not holding the chalice.

not possible. how they hell is everyone supposed to get down to hallyway when ogres show up.

dont even want to think about it........

 

[Owlowiscious]

That's the one.

[Hawkian]

I'm sure that's the case. Iron Banner has thus far been accessible even if you don't have the DLC, so it's unlikely it will feature DLC maps.

How do we even know anything about IB map rotation at this point?

It was listed in the Bungie official notes

 

[Orthogonal]

The thing about this raid is that No Revives isn't as big of a deal when fewer people can still complete the checkpoint easy enough.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

I don't see why they wouldn't do this. But then again, Bungie

It's hard, that's the point.

You down for reset raid runs?

 

[Kor of Memory]

So is it true that Urk doesn't post on Reddit? Only Deej?

Nope he posts there.

This would be brutal.

 

[Bogeypop]

What time frame would you peg it at? IE Before or after school?

Both. Before AND after school. It just seems to be weekdays period.

Honestly, I've done about 50 pug Roc strikes the last few weeks, and I've yet to have anyone go AFK or anything like that. In fact, I don't think I've even had a strike where BOTH left. Sure, one may leave, but never both.

Just had a guy AFK'd like halfway through the Summoning Pits. Me and the second guy solo'd Phogoth for about 90% of his health when the AFKer finally decided he wanted to "help".

Hey anyone down for some Roc Strikes?

I'm down for some Roc Strikes if you're still around

 

[GraveRobberX]

Can confirm Deathsinger drops exotics now
You don't get loot this week, have to wait till reset

Only people who haven't done CE up to Deathsinger can get loot from Deathsinger

Someone got 331 Hawkmoon

Like ascendants youll probably hit weekly cap of 5.

 

[Owlowiscious]

at reset i'm up for 5 crota runs lol (and a lvl 27 if the cheese still existed)

Make that not within range of the chalice and I would believe it. Another theory is that when holding the chalice, if held too long it will go boom to those around you.

 

[Rubenov]

Shh don't tell noomi

 

[Tawpgun]

I can see them sealing the bottom door so we can't escape during ogres. Will probably spawn enemies in crystal room so people don't turtle there.

Crota cries to his daddy and Oryx comes down all full of umad because we destroyed his shrine countless times.

1/12 Patch Answers and Clarification

• Cheese fixes that allowed easy soloing of the first half of CE have been fixed, as well as the disconnect and Sunsinger cheese for Crota, live now.
• The first chest (pit chest), whether or not it had been previously claimed, has been reloaded with radiant mats- grab them before the reset.
• Ir Yut, the Deathsinger, has been updated to drop loot including an Exotic chance, however for people who have already completed the raid this week the drop is not occurring. Unconfirmed if loot will drop from her for someone who has not yet done CE this week. It's possible that the pre-reset loot tables got linked, meaning that if you get the first chest again, that's what counts as your Deathsinger loot until the reset.
• At the bridge, players must make it across to complete the encounter. However, the cheese to run into the Swordbearer's room and despawn enemies on the starting side still works, for pansies who can't handle a few thralls and knights while defending the bridge.
• Ir Yut's timer trigger, I.E. "The Deathsinger prepares her song," now occurs when you run out of the hallway automatically (without any aggro on the Knights)
• Daily Public Event Rewards now include Radiant Mats. Daily Heroic Story missions still seem to only reward Ascendant Mats.
• Iron Banner is live at reset, 1:00AM PST on 1/13, and the notable items for purchase include:
  • 331 Hand Cannon
  • 331 Rocket Launcher
  • 36 Light Gloves.
  There is also a 33 Light chestpiece available, and the Sniper Rifle and Auto Rifle can drop from the playlist rewards at the end of matches. IB gear still takes Ascendant Shards including the level 32 gloves.
• Any equipped IB weapon can be rerolled for new perks at the IB Vendor for 2 motes of light.
• Don't forget the Tempered buff, lasting 12 hours, which can be purchased from the IB Vendor for 1 mote of light and increases IB rep gain. The % boost will itself increase every day, so while it is always worth it to have the buff equipped, it will be most potent toward the next reset (specifically, if you really want anything from IB this time, it's definitely worth doing a lot of it on the weekend 1/17-1/18).
• Exotics that drop from the Vault of Glass are now 331 attack versions. The Vex Mythoclast is still locked to its unique 323 attack level for the moment.
• Maps (Asylum, Anomaly and Burning Shrine) have been added to most PvP playlists, including Iron Banner.

By the way, I beat Ir Yut first time this week on my alt. No drop. Didn't do the whole Raid yet. Only change was the chest that I could take again.

 

[realcZk]

haha that would be awesome
weight of darkness starts stacking and you have to stand near the chalice holder to remove it, just like the lamps
i dont see any vestiges spawning... thats wizard stuff but i could be wrong
i think the oversoul is gonna play a bigger part since all the raid gear perks are all about destroying it quicker and right now it really isnt a threat

 

[forrest]

So I found a cave to the left of the jumping puzzle which leads to an opening that overlooks that last vex gate and low and behold there are jumping blocks appearing that seem to lead to the vex gate. Is this a known thing? Maybe I'm just tripping and it's the usual blocks to the jumping puzzle albeit the last five or so in the chain?

Video? Cave is known if it's the one I know about. Not sure which jumping blocks your talking about. Never heard of blocks leading to the vex gate...

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

It's hard, that's the point.

But if you, say, fall off the map by accident does that not warrant a revive? I think hard difficulty is already enough when the enemies HP is increased, are ultra or elite, and they have a damage boost added.

Putting in no revive seems like overkill. Maybe I'm just a wimp, though. /shrugs

care to go into more detail?

I have one account, three characters, who haven't played since the patch. They have everything except Deathsingers. (two chests, lamps, bridge, hallway, checkpoint to crota to kill crota)

So they can get Deathsinger loot?

 

[xplicitone]

I think I have gorgons hard CP. Might want to do gatekeeper and Atheon tonight now!

 

[Korosenai]

So does nightfall give strange coins ON TOP of the other rewards? Can anyone confirm this?

Its just a second jumping puzzle. Rumor is it was supposed to be the Hard Mode version, but they didn't implement it all the way. It just takes you to the landing in front of Aetheon's room.

I got nothing. I hadn't do it yet. Got Relentless Harness at bridge. Nothing at Ir Yut. But I did beat Crota on that char already. Only that though. Seems that fucked up my chance.
