Depends on your roll, I have 3 One Way tickets, none with tracking.

I got lucky with mine, Tracking +Field Scout.

Also holds 7 Rockets with heavy armor perk

 

[Orthogonal]

I can sit and play this game for hours without a second thought, but I have force myself to play through other games. Been working on Wolfenstein for nearly 2 months now. Only 5 hours in... I love the setting and story, but I can't do more than one 20-30min mission at a time.

I can however Wake the Hive for the 100th time collecintg some stupid bounty for hours on end. WTF.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

Any Xbone players looking to do NM CE? We're looking for 3 on a fresh reset.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

One Way Ticket also tracks. Found that out last night!

Spoiler

It makes a Hollahorn lock-on sound, at least?

Any legendary rocket launcher can roll in the wild with tracking (except HV) but you can't buy any. Hunger of Crota is the only legendary launcher with guaranteed tracking. You could also reroll the Iron Banner launcher to have tracking, but it did not come with it.

 

[Atkison04]

Actually, we're even a threat to our own teammates (and others of our class)....

EDIT: Forgot I made a .gif of my betrayal.

Lmao at that video man. I don't pvp much, but when i do there is nothing more satisfying than giving someone a Titan knee. However i find myself dying a lot running up to people like an idiot.

Yeah funny how that works. Although I am finding I am much more willing to play other games after I've ran 3x normal Crota and Nightfalls. So by the time the weekend hits I find myself firing up Driveclub and other stuff

 

[Lee]

I wish Bungie would look into Cluster Bombs and the like (like HV's perk to split the missles up on detonation). GHorn is in a class of its' own because it's pretty much the only one coded properly (at least in my collection of RLs)

Pretty sure it's working as intended. I don't think they meant for cluster bombs to track..

Wolfpack Rounds: "Rounds fired from this weapon split into tracking cluster missiles upon detonations."

Cluster Bomb: "Rockets create cluster bombs when they detonate."

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Hmm. If it's not online already I guess the best way is to have everyone use the same gun and add the shots. I think voc gets about 358 or 400 or so per shot and ice breaker was getting about 2500 crit

Yeah I can snoop around some more, it's mostly just for curiosity's sake right now. But thanks for the info !

I'm interested. What's the idea? Templar is my favorite encounter in the game. Running relic on hard mode, 4 guys up top, a titan or hunter down with you stopping the Templar from teleporting. Running sword on HM Crota is actually a really similar type of rush.

Solo HM Templar using only damage from the relic itself.

Spoiler

Hey, I said it was stupid....

Exactly like you said: using that common 4-5/6'ths cheese strat on HM Templar is very reminiscent of sword running Crota. Except this is actually fun.

That's crazy talk. I could barely put Wolfenstein: New Order down. It's such a damned great game, I hope you can focus more time on it. And, to be fair, the first two missions are a little slow.

 

[Jinjo]

Lag is killing us.

Yeah, fuck man. Train is having some troubles at the track.

Good point, guys. I couldn't remember if I bought that RL or if it came from a Nightfall. I guess it was just a nice drop then.

Can we pass engrams to our alts through the vault? Say, get a legendary engram and pass it to another class, and they decrypt it to their own class?

[DrDrizzay101]

I don't think anyone is that disillusioned. We know it sucks, but at least it tracks. Puts a nice big explodey target on the swordbearer for the GHorn guys.

Eh, I don't think anyone is saying that HoC is as good as Ghorn. Obviously it's not but for a legendary, it essentially is the next best thing to Gjallarhorn. Hence why it's called a legendary ghorn.

I knew I should have put a "For comedic purposes only" disclaimer on that HoC/HV post. HoC is damn good honestly, and not a bad idea for HM Crota to use something like Red Death.

Sometimes my sense of humor doesn't come across very well in the written word... lol.

 

[Phaethon0017]

Lmao at that video man. I don't pvp much, but when i do there is nothing more satisfying than giving someone a Titan knee. However i find myself dying a lot running up to people like an idiot.

Yeah, I pretty much switch to the Exotic Stand Asides so I can sprint for a lot longer. Very satisfying hitting someone while they're in the air!

Wolfpack Rounds: "Rounds fired from this weapon split into tracking cluster missiles upon detonations."

Cluster Bomb: "Rockets create cluster bombs when they detonate."

Maybe I just suck or something but when I use my RLs that have Clusters I never notice anything else getting hit but the main target. I'll look at it somemore but cluster bombs have been feeling very useless

I feel dumb for picking Cluster on my IB Rocket Launcher (Raghast Fury).

 

[PrivateWHudson]

And I could still run HM with my Warlock

Spoiler

who is a scrubby 31

but what about tomorrow night? I have no idea if the remainder of our crew has run HM yet. Do we dare?

XFrame was last seen in

Spoiler

gasp

the Hinterlands
Scarletham and Hoodbury have engaged radio silence
lunlunqq was last seen soloing Phogoth

Spoiler

because he's good like that

Drizzy and I are like Ross from Friends - "WE WERE ON A BREAK!"

Spoiler

so much for that break

So what about it, Fun Runners? Will the "fun" die if we do HM instead of Normal?

I'm in it for the Fang and shards. Warlock needs 32, and apparently now I need to level everyone to use helmets with Infusion. (ugh)

You know that I'm down if I'm on and you ever need an alt.

 

[stb]

Ok. I would like to run the HM CE that Ltwood is getting together but if it doesn't happen I'll be glad to run both the VoG and CE with your group.

I'm trying to get in on Ltwood's, too, so we'll see how that all goes.

 

[Darryl M R]

Good to be back.
I have like 300 more titan kills in crucible left to get and then all of my classes are done. have all of my weapon kills done. just need Ogre and Hydra rank 3 kills, strike completions rank 3 (can only do regular strikes), raids rank 3 (can only do VoG for it). Have all the ghosts. Then all I need are: rumble wins rank 2 & 3; Skirmish wins rank 3; Salvage wins rank 1, 2, & 3; and i think thats it. I got siege dancers finally by doing dust palace strike without dying. and got the House of Wolves Card by re-rolling my titan and playing the 1st mission* on the reef.

What's the best spot to get your Ogre and Hydra kills?

 

[LTWood12]

HM Crota while not sword runner: Meh.
HM Crota the first few times: #*($*%Q)Q%)
HM Crota the last three successful runs: Awesome.

I'm personally really enjoying it and can't wait to do it again. As for the Templar with just the Relic, man. I don't know. He's definitely going to enrage, so if you can handle the constant onslaught while cleansing. I imagine you'd need to kills adds > cleanse > super > block teleport > clear adds > super before he teleports? I don't think you'd have time to super twice without stopping the teleport, and melee isn't the way to go...

Need one more for Crota HM. Pref with a Ballarhorn. Add JinjoNL

 

[dB Viper]

I love running sword with my BD Hunter in CE Hard. The feeling of accomplishment when you get it done (with a bunch of randoms on LFG, no less) is why I love this game.

Made a lot of friends I would have never met because of that site and these raids.

I love those Titan exotic boots that extend Shoulder Charge duration. Finding it tough not to hit 20+ kills in Crucible with them. Feels like I have forever to find a victim and pop'em now

That's hilarious though- charging a teammate and making them explode. That's some serious troll

Yeah I talk a lot of smack about Crota but people who were in the fire team when we first downed normal mode can confirm my intense exhilaration. But Crota is paint-by-numbers-rinse-and-repeat and solo Templar is a crazy, free-flowing improvisation. Also, it's relatively "new" to me compared to C-bags.

Yeah, it's definitely an endurance test. Once or twice I've made it all the way into enrage and the way the Minotaurs start piling up.... oh man, it's definitely hilarious even if it's just a pipe dream. Even if it's impossible to kill him, it's fun to treat it as a "survival mode" like Gears of War or something. See how long you can last.

[Byron Bluth]

Wow, that Venus one is really cool. The Sun is so fucking huge it blows my mind.

Venus would be even smaller than it appears since we are seeing it at its distance between itself and the Sun. So it would be the size of a pen marked dot on this picture of the Sun.

The Sun itself is 99.9% of all the mass in our Solar System.

Awesome.
