Only Bad Juju and Plan C do upgrade this week

But no Exotic Engrams to use my over 100 Motes of Light

 

[Auto_aim1]

Yeah, if we can get 6 today. Not sure what time it might happen though, not until sometime later. It could look something like

CE Flawless, Time: TBD

1.) me
2.) Dhruv
3.) Kadey
4.) Born2Live
5.) ?
6.) ?

It sounds like IRawr can help if we do it this weekend.

Meeee meee meee

 

[phen0m24]

Yeah, but 1 ghorn vs 1 IB and ghorn wins every time. For pure DPS it's the best gun in the game, it's just too limiting and really very infrequently "required", it feels like a waste unless I'm filling a role in a strike or a raid.

Only problem I have with my Horn is people that jump in front of me when I fire. Ugh ugh ugh insta death.

i would love to give it a go as well, put me up as an alt as it seems you are currently full but if someone bails, i'll be online later today.

 

[Raybunny]

Not only GH but with most of the other Rocket Launchers. I make sure to jump before or make sure coast is clear. Even though there is always that one prick that jumps in front of you almost on purpose or strafes for no "Effing" reason.

 

[Mutagenic]

Really the VOG weapons were all top tier guns, pulse rifles are all friggin terrible but I had fun with timepiece, foil has some great unique perks, vision is probably one of the most fun guns to use in the game, revenge is awesome, and I think I covered the rest. Except fatebringer, which is probably the most over hyped gun in the game, perhaps it's because all of the exotic hand canons are so much better by comparison, still it has cool perks. But shit, makes you think, they've dropped the ball on the CE weapons.

I completely disagree with this. The gun does work and is fun to use.

 

[Orthogonal]

This has to be a mistake. A highly desired weapon being sold by Xur? I don't know what game I am playing anymore?

Hurry and buy it before they hotfix this shit and put in No Land Beyond as a proper disappointment.

 

[phen0m24]

You could definitely do flawless, just bring the 32 Titan. It's still easy to solo the first part and Kadey is an expert at that, bridge would be easy to cheese still or do legit. DSinger you can always chill back and play it safe, Crota you can just snipe with your shiny new IceB, doesn't need to be upgraded at all.

And nobody takes flawless that seriously, I promise only a minimum of cursing and screaming if you die.

But seriously you should try it with us, it's all about the team effort, nobody will get upset if anyone else dies.

Ok. Sounds good.

Spoiler

I hope

[General_Zod]

He's in my good books this week I had already been lucky enough to drop Obsidian Mind but I needed icebreaker, than you our for not shafting me and many others this week haha.

The wait for ballerhorn continues will I ever get it?!, will our ever sell it again?!

Tune in next week same bat time same bat channel!

He is preparing you guys for the hard mode duh. A rare display of kindness shown by Xur.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

CE Flawless, Time: TBD, sometime later today

1.) me
2.) Dhruv Ninja
3.) Kadey1solo
4.) Born2Live
5.) Colonel O Icey
6.) auto-Kartik

Alternates: Noise, iRawr if it gets pushed to this weekend, anyone else?

 

[Defuser]

Bought 2 Icebreakers and the Obsidian Mind. Thank you based Xur. Now to start farming coins to buy the glasshouse helm and exotic shards.

Edit:
Got my third husk of the pit and a legendary engram doing one fist of crota mission. My day in Destiny has been awesome.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Only problem I have with my Horn is people that jump in front of me when I fire. Ugh ugh ugh insta death.

Do you have a thorn or a hawkmoon?

 

[ethomaz]

Guys,

Anybody has the Gatekeeper grinding CP to share? I lost mine

 

[Orthogonal]

I figure Xur just needed more coins for cocaine and hookers.

 

[Owlowiscious]

There really isn't a better shot gun for pvp, found verdict is way better than the exotics still, even in this IB.

Hezen, has a great radius, love the delay on those mini shells, velocity is top tier once it's been tuned for it too, oh and four rockets from a heavy drop with raid boots, and it's not an exotic.

Corrective measure is my go to machine gun for pvp too, it's more stable than a PS4 update, it is also not exotic as well.

yeah, wasn't questioning found verdict, people should be dying to it enough to know it's good~

thanks for the input on hezen's vengence

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Sounds good, I'm definitely down to help. The image of Dhruv plummeting into the VoG abyss keeps me up at night, plus he needs a SFW clan name...

Thread will be Xur-distracted for a while, I'll be back later to see about getting a group going.

That used to keep me up too, then I just practiced about an hour for 3 days, just doing the jumping puzzle. It's muscle memory now :-D

Also if everyone is up for it then we can start the CE flawless run right now.

 

[Owlowiscious]

Saint-14 is definitely the best Defender exotic.



It doesn't unlock the perk, it adds to the duration of it. I haven't tried it out yet offcourse but it seems to be the second best Defender exotic (which is why I specified sub-class specific exotic) out there. Longer Weapons/Blessing of Light seems good for Titan PvP. Better than blinding in PvP since walking in a bubble already means certain death. Longer blessing of light means you don't have to stick to your bubble as much.

bleh. guess I'm buying a greenhouse.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Looks like I'm saving up on coins and motes this week, except maybe a shard for my Titan alt. Don't mind swapping out weapons.

I do like Glasshouse. Very handy in strikes, Raid, and Crucible.

I started to use Hunger of Crota yesterday and it is pretty good... better than Hezen for example.

Of course it is not a Ghorn but deal comparable damage.

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

Buy obsidian.
I can guarantee you you won't regret it.
Been using it with a 100% int build, and even without bad juju (was waiting for the upgrade to put XP into my empty 300 one) I'm already chaining supers like a madman.
It is really awesome, and FUN.

Sold. Thank you!

 

[Nuszka]

I am keeping my motes for the next expansion , as currently except Saint 14 helm there is nothing in exotic gear that i want.

 

[Jinjo]

bleh. guess I'm buying a greenhouse.

Haha. Plus you don't have to walk back into your bubble while unloading a fully loaded I-WoL Gjallarhorn to refresh the buff.

Spoiler

so less risk of blowing yourself up.

Do you guys have a flawless strategy for the first section?

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

Fuck! I only have 23 strange coins! I need 30 to get both Obsidian Mind and Icebreaker!!!

 

[Orthogonal]

Do you have a weekly to finish?

whats a gjallarhorn? :|

[Seep]

Anyone have the stats on obsidian?

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Do you guys have a flawless strategy for the first section?

Join up, lets throw stuff on the wall and see what sticks

 

[TP-DK]

Anyone have the stats on obsidian?

Intellect 53, strength 54.

 

[Kensuke]

I want to do it! Still need that trophy. PSN: Wretched_Walrus

edit: I see you may have a full team. If someone doesn't show I'd love to go though. I'll be online all day.

 

[Orthogonal]

Intellect 53, strength 54.

Boo Strength, but I don't care.

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

Do you have a weekly to finish?

Nope. Done all the weeklies. Gah! Might have to prioritise one purchase over the other this week...

 

[Greenymac]

IB or glimmer farming anyone? I dont have the gatekeepers checkpoint..

 

[Orthogonal]

Nope. Done all the weeklies. Gah! Might have to prioritise one purchase over the other this week...

Make an alt, takes less than 6 hours to get them to level 20. Swap gear and run the Heroic weekly.

You have 48 hours.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Yeah, but 1 ghorn vs 1 IB and ghorn wins every time. For pure DPS it's the best gun in the game, it's just too limiting and really very infrequently "required", it feels like a waste unless I'm filling a role in a strike or a raid.

Sure. But you dont always have rockets. Dont have to wait for synth cooldown. Can't get killed by a teammate that runs in front of you as you fire. Not sure why people downplay the IB down. Still just as good as it ever was

 

[Orthogonal]

*Tin Foil Hat*

Xur sales Ice Breaker because it is no longer the kind of Snipers. Everyone covets the elusive Black Hammer now so will still be disappointment.

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

Ah! Maybe this will finally get me making an alt. Not a great deal of time this weekend but I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

 

[Terrordactyl]

I'm not playing it down at all, 9/10 times is pick my breaker. But from a DPS perspective ghorn is vastly superior, I don't use it often for all of the reasons you highlighted, but I can't deny how effective it is at doing a ton of damage in a hurry

 

[Kensuke]

IB or glimmer farming anyone? I dont have the gatekeepers checkpoint..

Want to do some extraction zone? Need glimmer as well.

 

[void666]

I knew it. When i got my first ice breaker next Friday Xur was selling it. This week got another one from the gorgon chest and now he is selling it again.

All i wanted from Xur was an Obsidian mind and now i have it. No need to buy helmet engrams. My motes of light are useless again.

 

[Greenymac]

Want to do some extraction zone? Need glimmer as well.

Man, after farming gatekeepers, its the only way to farm....anyone got the checkpoint?

 

[Seep]

Intellect 53, strength 54.

Strength sucks but I need that helmet.

Thx.

 

[Steroyd]

The Iron Banner auto rifle dropped for me, perfect balance and range finder makes me want to not re-roll it.

 

[Acorn]

Blink shotgun arcblade repeat ad infinitum and that's pvp

 

[Noisepurge]

*Tin Foil Hat*

Xur sales Ice Breaker because it is no longer the kind of Snipers. Everyone covets the elusive Black Hammer now so will still be disappointment.

nah, Icebreaker is still the best sniper in the game hands down. It's just the most versatile due to not having to worry about ammo when camping in a cheesespot somewhere

Black Hammer is only really usable against Ogres, the Tank, Sepiks Prime and Devil Walkers

 

[Orthogonal]

Very excited for the next Solar Burn now.

Ice Breaker + Hunger of Crota will be a nice combo. It isn't as sexy as Black Hammer + Gjallarhorn, but it's a nice consolation.

 

[EL CUCO]

Congrats on your new Icebreakers, guys! never leave the Tower without it.

Xur delivered big time. Brought exactly what I asked for too <3

Needed those Helms bad.

 

[silver.tongue]

You forgot hydras.

IB > BH tho.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

So which is preferable; Ice Breaker or Black Hammer?

I already have the hammer and I only run one character, so I'd rather not waste coins.

Get it. People who say it's not good, already have it and they have the luxury of choice to switch to it. You will regret not getting it. Imo one of the top 5 exotic weapons in this game
