[Namikaze1]

What do I spend 22k+ PowerUpRewards on?

I think that's enough for a $20 PSN card.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

I will be running it around 4 on est or in 4 hours if you want to join us

Sounds great to me.

 

[rNilla]

The results are in!

Here's the team that shall attempt to be the first to beat Crota's End. Or the first GAF team to do so. Whatever.

1) namikaze1 - 32 Titan Defender
2) Figadapaura - 32 Hunter (fig hasn't said what class she'll be using but I'm guessing it will be her hunter)
3) rodiard - 32 any class
4) Captain_Cold - 32 Hunter/Titan
5) zewone - 32 Titan
6) KxozZ - 32 Warlock

Again:
Don't wait for any invites! Immediately join in on me once you updated the game. I'll be sending party chat invites around 9 AM PST/12 PM EST, an hour before the supposed time Bungie will drop the Hard Mode update.

For those who won't be joining and/or just want to follow our attempt:
Stream will be up on: http://www.twitch.tv/namikaze01

Stream will go up half an hour early so around 9:30 AM PST / 12:30 PM EST. I want it up early so that I don't have to waste any time setting it up once the game has been updated with tomorrow's patch. I'll post a link here for when it is up.


I'll be sending out friend requests to those who aren't on my friend list.

Oh shit, too much pressure.

 

[EL CUCO]

Every single patch there is talk of a Gjallarhorn nerf. Just ignore it.

They've had plenty of time to assess the Cheesehorn's dmg output. If they didn't nerf it back when Atheon was being dropped in 15 seconds, it's not getting nerfed.

Enemies will just have more HP, if anything.

 

[Hidden One]

Need 2 more for fresh Crota run.

Psn: Router_Go_Vroom

Add FD_Reborn I'll be on shortly

 

[oSoLucky]

How many do you have? I'll join also, PSN is KC_darkness. We're friends already I believe.

[Johan Liebert]

Before we manually release the Hard Mode version of Crota's End, we're deploying another round of fixes.

Raids
Crota's End

• Prepared Hard Mode for manual activation on Wednesday, January 21st
• Updates on the exact go-time will be given via Twitter after 10AM

Bridge Encounter

• Players are no longer able to de-spawn enemies after activating bridge plates and holding a specific spot

Crota Encounter

• Fixed a rare issue that caused Crota to stop summoning Oversouls

[Toejam2501]

So clearly Crota just hates me. I have not had anything but 2 energy drop from Deathsinger and Crota for 4 weeks now, across two different characters. Ridiculous.

Me and you both. Have run Crota every week 2x since TDB dropped, and last 3 weeks have run 3x. I have 2 swordbreakers and 2 songs of ir yut to show for it, energy and shards every other time.

 

[Hawkian]

Yay! Everyone must learn the bridge! Time for competence!

 

[everyday math]

Wrong topic?

Hey I like opinions from all parts of gaf.

 

[E92 M3]

I need some checkpoints! I need to run VoG anyway. Main thing holding my Titan back from 30 and above is shards.

What I do is help people out on GK and quit last minute. I get the checkpoint guilt free and everyone is happy lol.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Add FD_Reborn I'll be on shortly

I'll join the raid. PSN: DarkRaegal

FR sent.

 

[RetroMG]

So it was pretty rude I went on LFG looking for a raid, got invited, and all they wanted was for me to get them the exclusion zone checkpoint to glimmer farm bc they went too far.

Needless to say they heard some choice words and I left

Wow. The rest of the Exclusion Zone mission is annoying, but it's not that hard and it doesn't take very long. Just finish it, people.

 

[E92 M3]

Yay - no nerfs (for now)!

 

[JayHayabusa]

Need one more for weekly

jayforone or clionen

Edit:Full

I don't understand, wouldn't it be easier to go to orbit and start the mission over than to try and get someone on LFG to get it for you wtf

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Welp that hotfix was disappointing.

Spoiler

And as expected

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

How many do you have? I'll join also, PSN is KC_darkness. We're friends already I believe.

2 or 3 scrubbie college friends who never ran it hard mode before and el_fenomeno. So ~5 people more than welcome to join us

[oSoLucky]

Has anyone power leveled a character to 20 recently? How long should I expect it to take, and is it fully dependent on others running me through HM missions?

I have full cleared CE every week since release on my Warlock and I'm still lacking boots and helm. My alt(Titan) on the other hand got full gear in just 2 runs. I really want to do HM on my main but I need to see if it's worth it to delete and relevel a Warlock to redo the raid a couple times this week.

Most people don't know that you can restart missions by selecting them, clicking on the level selector and pressing the square/X button on the mission and confirming. Game should ask you if you really want to restart.

 

[Sulik2]

So glad Iron Banner is over, now I never have to play Control every again.

 

[HAL-x9000]

Finally after 334 matches in the crucible I got an Exotic, patience and time! whop whop!

 

[noomi]

so wait... they will be announcing the exact time of hard mode release on twitter @ 10AM?

Meaning hard mode won't actually be available at 10AM PST....?

Updates on exact go-time will be given via Twitter after 10AM Pacific

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Dat reading comprehension. How the fuck can't people read it saying 'press square to restart?' God damn it

 

[Namikaze1]

No more de-spawning Bridge cheese!

They still haven't "fix" the rock jumping one though so you guys still have that one.

Yay! Everyone must learn the bridge! Time for competence!

I had a feeling Bungie was going to patch that soon. I'm glad the team I regularly raid with prefer doing it legit. All we have to do is just adjust to whatever new mechanics are being introduce tomorrow.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Dat reading comprehension. How the fuck can't people read it saying 'press square to restart?' God damn it

Well that only works for the very first difficulty level. This is for the other difficulties you've checkpointed on.

 

[Born2Live]

Getting ready to run nightfalls if anyone wants to join.

Any space left?

 

[SAiLO]

i got 8 energies
10 shards
legendary heavy engram

I thought my 3rd and 4th Crash (legendary shotgun) and second pair of exotic boots last week were rubbish...

 

[KxoZz]

All i did was play crucible to level up a few times when I was falling out of heroic level. Otherwise, just do heroic on all the story missions and do the strikes. I hit 20 well before I finished all of the story missions (hardly did any on Mars)

 

[stb]

Glad you made it to 5 and got what you wanted! I finally gave up around 10:30 or so. Just couldn't take it anymore. Wasn't making any progress on the few bounties I had left, plus every game we were just getting wrecked. I mean it was pathetic and just rage inducing to the point I told myself to just turn it off. I wound up around rank 4 1/4. I'll throw the Spear in the vault and wait till the next one, but I will definitely not be waiting till the weekend to get started on it.

Sorry it stayed rough for you. Lash isn't worth the frustration, imo.

Up for at least one NF and weekly tonight?

Probably. I'd love to knock them out ASAP after work, so maybe 7:15-7:30 Eastern.

 

[EL CUCO]

I have a feeling Hard mode is going to get smashed in under an hour.

 

[DNAbro]

forgot the reset was today lol

Gonna do the raid later tonight. Need my boots and maybe a helmet.

 

[Spawnling]

so wait... they will be announcing the exact time of hard mode release on twitter @ 10AM?

Meaning hard mode won't actually be available at 10AM PST....?

It's essentially coming out at 10am PST, it just might not be that exact minute. Allows room for error if need be. They're operating from a manual switch, not an automatic one.

 

[zewone]

http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12508

I'm surprised that rock made it past this patch.

I have a feeling Hard mode is going to get smashed in under an hour.

Yep. By GAF.

Do you remember about how long it took total though? If it's 10 hours then it won't be worth it to me.

 

[ocean]

Third Hawkmoon this week just dropped on a Crucible match (which my team lost btw).

 

[xplicitone]

I'm still upset I didn't get a sniper drop for 2x rank 5 IB chars. And both I played for hours after I hit max. :/

 

[Orthogonal]

I have a feeling Hard mode is going to get smashed in under an hour.

Yup, considering people can solo the whole thing, the no respawning is hardly a penalty. Whatever new tricks they throw at us will be easily overcome by a veteran group. I expect it to be about as Hard as a full team of 31's taking on normal mode.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

@Bungie
To be first to confront Crota in the Hard Mode for the Raid, log out of Destiny tomorrow before 10AM Pacific and watch here for updates.

Yeah.

[Yurikerr]

No, it works for every difficulty. You just need to "press square" on the difficulty desired on the list. [=

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Hard mode comes out tomorrow right?

Edit: That fresh page pressure >_<

 

[vctor182]

Nightfall done, got my 4th Suros, a warlock got Heart of praxic fire and the other guy got a legendary pulse rifle...damn we felt sorry for him lol

 

[kidko]

Do you remember about how long it took total though? If it's 10 hours then it won't be worth it to me.

probably 6. I did it over two nights and I can only play 2-3 hours a night
