.

They also give 5,000 XP, so I could see people saving them for leveling up gear/weapons.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

LOL. Ka Ching! Been saving up a whole lot of them.

Thanks Bungie!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Kadey please tell us you at least had a exotic to level up as well. I didn't know daily pubs gave XP.

 

[Haybro]

I need to run it with my Titan....

I have a 31 hunter that needs it as well

 

[spyder_ur]

So I haven't played since Thursday because I've been away...what'd I miss? Longest I've gone without playing. Even missed Xur, luckily it didn't look like the biggest week.

If there are any raid groups (CE or hard VoG) going out after 8 pm or so eastern tonight, I'd be down.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Kadey please tell us you at least had a exotic to level up as well. I didn't know daily pubs gave XP.

Did not know this either

 

[SkylineRKR]

Yup, saving up is never bad. Wish I did it. Only got one shard and never again.

 

[figadapaura]

Awesome, Hawkian said he'd be down to be our sword bearer I think I'm at work but you can shoot me a FR if you are on at: SquallASF What timezone are you in?

GMT

What time are you free? I'll be doing the podcast in about an hour.

 

[JTran2003]

I need to run it with my Titan....

That's 3 so far for a fresh run. Half way there!

1. Jtran2003
2. Greenymac
3. StereoType

Edit: fresh CE run

 

[Byron Bluth]

When will you sleep? lol

I usually go to bed at 8:30pm EST tonight.

KeanuReevesWoah.gif

How many radiant mats did u get total from that?

.

Haha yup. Nicely done Kadey

 

[xplicitone]

Dang Kadey, very nice

 

[LiK]

LOL. Ka Ching! Been saving up a whole lot of them.

Thanks Bungie!

LOL

 

[Hawkian]

lol only if you want to! I don't want to abuse your kindness and charity! This is the only time I'll need to be semi-carried because after the reset I'll be able to earn marks again to buy chest which will get me to 30. I can do it as early as 630 EST and pretty much anytime after that, just need to get a group together.

hehe it'll be fun, and yeah 6:30 can work

This thread moves fast! Repost:

I'm going to run the sword tonight for my group with my newly-minted lvl 32 Titan. What's the most efficient attack pattern for Crota? I've read people claiming the R1-R1-R2 combo is best and others saying to just mash the slam button.

The ideal- max damage, not counting the super- is 4 R2 smashes per kneel. This isn't always practical. An R1-R1-R2 + R2 combo is also very good, and can help you close the distance if you land too far from him to hit with an R2 smash. R1-R2 + R2 is also fine if you're pressed for time. Also, if you have the super, you can cancel into its animation- use the super as soon as you do the damage with the R2, it's amazing. Of course, it's not at all a sure thing that you'll have it.

Also, good general tip- err on the side of doing less damage on the first kneel, more damage on the second. If you get killed while attacking him on the second kneel it's no big deal, really. If you get killed on the first, you miss out on the second entirely.

Lol Kadey. too good.

 

[nowai]

I must have missed it at first, but the new Iron Banner gloves will be 32!

1. Hand cannon reload please
2. Upgraded with ass mats! yuuus

 

[Byron Bluth]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

hi. I'm pikapuff

Haha, I know, I do a lot of the rosters and stuff for this so I've gotten good at matching up PSN and Gaf names.

 

[Zocano]

That's 3 so far for a fresh run. Half way there!

1. Jtran2003
2. Greenymac
3. StereoType

Edit: fresh CE run

I'll join! Still have to actually the first three parts on my titan/warlock

PSN is Zocano

 

[Coconut]

So now the new ascendent materials drop in the game not just in croters house?

 

[Deku Tree]

Looks like Kadey got nine or ten radiant mats. One per package.

 

[Bogeypop]

LOL. Ka Ching! Been saving up a whole lot of them.

Spoiler

Little do you know I have enough to get two characters to lvl 32 already, just waiting for good rolls on raid gear

 

[Owlowiscious]

Haha, I know, I do a lot of the rosters and stuff for this so I've gotten good at matching up PSN and Gaf names.

That's good, because I already forgot who you are.

 

[SkylineRKR]

So now the new ascendent materials drop in the game not just in croters house?

Nope. It was briefly and already fixed afaik. They showed up as PE package rewards right after patch.

 

[EL CUCO]

The real question I have for Kadey is, did you use all that PE XP on something useful or did you flush it down the drain? xD

 

[DJ Lushious]

So now the new ascendent materials drop in the game not just in croters house?

Correct! It seems mainly from Public Events, though.

 

[Namikaze1]

Awesome! send a FR to SquallASF if you're on right now (I'm at work).

Just sent one and lol at Darth RNGesus.

 

[Kyne]

Correct! It seems mainly from Public Events, though.

Err, iirc it was just removed.

 

[NextGen]

This is not mine, but looks good!!

O rly?

Damn, that is lame.

 

[Hawkian]

Doesn't seem like it. Just old Daily public reward packages from before the patch hit, I Think.

That's 4! Almost there! Start as soon as we get 6 OK with everyone?

 

[LiK]

Anything good was not intended. Fucking stupid Radiant mats aren't possible with Pubs and Dailies. Bungie, you guys are fucking clueless.

 

[Owlowiscious]

The public event glitch was old public event rewards in postmaster gave the new materials. Doing today's public event or any event from now on will give old ascendant materials.

 

[silver.tongue]

YAAAAYYY!

Guardian Lord! And I'd never have done this if not because of GAF. Thanks you guys!

 

[Greenymac]

That's 4! Almost there! Start as soon as we get 6 OK with everyone?

Fine with me!

 

[Namikaze1]

Doesn't seem like it. Just old Daily public reward packages from before the patch hit, I Think.

Yeah,just old packages. New ones give you same old ascendant mats.

 

[EL CUCO]

Anything good was not intended. Fucking stupid Radiant mats aren't possible with Pubs and Dailies. Bungie, you guys are fucking clueless.

It's mind boggling isn't it.

 

[SkylineRKR]

who is correct?

If you have one from pre patch or last week or so, it would've been a Radiant. If you do a PE now, its old shit.

 

[figadapaura]

YAAAAYYY!

Guardian Lord! And I'd never have done this if not because of GAF. Thanks you guys!

Welcome.

 

[Coconut]

It makes absolutely no sense. none what so ever.

 

[xplicitone]

I'd love IB if it were L32 Chest, one of the main pieces I need. I hope the gloves are at least int/disc.

I kept my loser medallions this time around. Will always keep them from now on.

 

[Deku Tree]

This is not mine, but looks good!!

That's the old trick that the first solo player did. Step on and off the circle to fully form the bridge. I guess they didn't patch it out.

Edit. I never tried that but it looks hard to get the bridge form timing right. Not cheese imo. That's hard to do.

 

[zewone]

This is not mine, but looks good!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTX-67hUiMA

The guy labels it as a cheese, but it's only slightly cheesy.

It's really just solo-ing the bridge. It's a solid method for people who don't want to LFG.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Just wait until March when we get another currency that will be obsolete sooner rather than later!

 

[silver.tongue]

Gaf can anyone be a friend and share a Hard Atheon checkpoint?

My friends need the trophy. I wanna help but I dont feel like doing the whole thing...

 

[likedamaster]

Any news on free Radiant mats on the first chest having already done it?
