I seriously suspect some insider giving those cheese, how can you keep a level 20 armor set in this encounter just in case ???




Yeah, that must be it.

boggles the mind

[GraveRobberX]

How hard is the abyss now that we are underleveled for it?

Not too difficult, but it can get hairy if everyone is not on the ball
There's no oh some people wiped we can still do it scenario

Thralls swipes takes chunk of health off, before was little bits, now if it's a pack it's almost an Insta-Kill before you could survive

 

[Sword Of Doom]

jeez, how on earth did this even get discovered?

Someone might have tried this during any other high level mission to see what happens. I myself have wondered about this but never tried it. Since you can't enter a mission if you are more than 3 levels below, I wondered what would happen if you replaced armor and dropped in level while inside the mission. I guess if it boots you then they figured the fireteam leader can do this and cause a glitch similar to the disconnect cable glitch.

 

[Deku Tree]

Has anyone gotten the hand cannon yet? If so, where did it drop?

Crota:
Handcannon
Scout rifle
Cruz of Crota

Bridge:
Auto rifle

Abyss:
Pulse rifle

one guy in our team got it. It drops from Crota

 

[raindoc]

It's clear this isn't "Bungie" anymore, I feel like they are a shell.

remember this?

But for all the unknowns, Destiny still feels very much like the product of Bungie. More specifically, it feels like Bungie taking what they've done well over the years and moving in a new direction, with new technology, toward something well beyond Halo. I know I can't wait to see what else Destiny is.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/de...next-game-is-and-isnt-all-about/1100-6404016/

Some good stuff in that article:

On top of this, you've also got dedicated social hubs that allow you to interact with other players outside of combat. This includes things like trading goods, gambling, or just taking a break from the game's optional "activities" that draw you away from these safe havens with the promise of adventure and loot.

...

As in previous Bungie games, there'll be both a traditional competitive multiplayer mode and a "highly crafted" story campaign.

Spoiler

I guess at least the gambling part is true, if RNG/the lottery counts

But my favourite part:

We want every night to be a new experience," says Jason Jones. "Our goal is that every time a player sits down to play Destiny, they have a different experience from the last time

 

[grimlock33]

Has anyone gotten the hand cannon yet? If so, where did it drop?

Reports seem to indicate the HC and SR drop from Crota himself. PR from the Lamps and AR from the bridge.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

HM Crota only drop.

 

[xplicitone]

My 730 group looks like it's not happening. We can just group up here when the time is right. I'll include ICON-VII (Macello's buddy)

 

[Kadey]

LOL Everybody is protecting me.

 

[Owlowiscious]

working now, adding commondan, bitmap is an alt

 

[SnakeEyes]

Has anyone gotten the hand cannon yet? If so, where did it drop?

Hand Cannon and Scout Rifle have only been seen to have dropped from beating Crota on Hard Mode. Pulse Rifle and Auto Rifle drop in the earlier stages.

 

[Kensuke]

Tips for Hard Mode Crota:

Hunters: Hungering Blade. Recover health with Blink Strike or your Super.
Warlock: Recover health by picking up orbs or your using your Super.
Titan: Be sure to have a Blessing of Light to help out the team.

Other options are Red Death and Suros. But you would have to remove your Gjallarhorn, which isn't an option really.

[sjay1994]

Is anyone still looking for HM crota group members?

I am a 32 warlock, have both ice breaker and ballerhorn maxed out at 331.

psn Sjay1994

 

[Ambitious]

I wonder whether I should do the abyss in HM CE with the Sunsinger subclass as usual or try Voidwalker for once. The sheer number of thralls could be interesting with my Obsidian Mind.

Probably gonna stick with Sunsinger, just to be on the safe side. But I've got to try Voidwalker at some point.

 

[illiniguy05]

What is this level 20 gear cheese that is being talked about?

I'd still be down to join if it happens. Though after watching the streams, my Gajallarhorn-less peasant status has me worried how useful I'll be. Let me know!

 

[spyder_ur]

Does anyone have the HM Gorgon's cp? Normal GK cp? Where's checkpointasaurus?

Are you still looking? I think I have it

 

[Bogeypop]

LOL Everybody is protecting me.

We are all your White Knights, Kadey ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I want more variety. Need some Asian knights too. Where's Lik?

 

[BokehKing]

I know everyone wants to do hard mode right now but does anyone want to do the weekly?

 

[Dante316]

Does lvl 20 even work on crota?

 

[Kadey]

Does lvl 20 even work on crota?

Yes. I hit him but not before some guy with a Link avatar on GAF got killed.

Damn. It's mind blowing this is the first time someone thought of this. It seems so simple too. Good on them.

Is this the group that did it the fastest?

Damn, that's on hell of a strategy.

What is this? I wish the video did more explaining. Just have a titan drop a bubble for cover and do 3 kneels?

 

[Deku Tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjHR-W5t8Is

They had three 31s. People did that before on normal and they dropped Crota in one sword with three kneels. Notice the titan bubble near Crota. That's to generate orbs for the swordbearer so that the sword super comes up faster.
