I hope Todd is okay; he hasn't appeared yet.

I would love for it to get a buff. The gun at its current state is not worth getting. I would love to shoot through the hive's wall of darkness. That should have been one of its perks. It is a gun infused with Crota's power! It should freaking demolish any hive resistance.

Vex doesn't have the vex disruptor or whatever it's calle like the vault weapons so I don't mind Necro not give hive disruptor but I still want to shoot through the k ight's wall of darkness.

Necro should have some kind of innate super bonus vs. Hive. Bungie could get creative since PVP isn't touched. Cascade is just so boring compared to what they could have put.

Running Nightfall

[figadapaura]

Not really... it was affected on the lower end of the spectrum by this patch since it wasn't that high-impact to begin with, but it was never great for its raw DPS anyway. It's awesome because the perk can have a huge gameplay impact for certain builds/playstyles.

edit: Glasshouse is the #1 best exotic piece for Atheon

Why?

I'd say it's no more useful than the Symbiote.

 

[ocean]

Any VoG runs tonight? I want to test my Swordbreaker on Praetorians and Gjallarhorn on everything.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Maybe for the next update it will become the "new" Bad Juju.

bad juju is a true rags to riches success story

 

[squidhands]

...holy shit. Surge. as soon as I re-unlock the perk on my MC this is the absolute first thing I'm trying.

Oh wow, I totally forgot about Surge. Up for a lamp run when you unlock the perk? With the Light Beyond Nemesis helmet I got during this week's Nightfall, my raid gear is maxxed out Strength and Discipline (0 Intellect, boo).

 

[MrAnderson]

...but, but dragons...

I share in your distress, good sir knight. Alas! The art department that hails from Bungle has deemed them batadactyls!

 

[LordofPwn]

I posted about it waaaay back in OT8:

Thanks for that. i was talking more about the items themselves. because exotic armor needs grimoire cards.

I would very much like to have an ahamkara resurgence possibly in comet or Destiny 2.

 

[figadapaura]

"YOU WILL DREAM OF TEETH AND NOTHING ELSE!"

chill out, Voidfang

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I share in your distress, good sir knight. Alas! The art department that hails from Bungle has deemed them batadactyls!

Those aren't Ahamkara though! The Ahamkara are extinct (as far as we know).

 

[kidko]

I've only read the Stormlight Archives books (amazing) and Steelheart (not as amazing, but still good). How does Warbreaker stack up against those?

Do it, it's great! and then re-read the epilogue of SA book two

I'm now reading Mistborn and it's also really good.

SPACE DRAGONS™!!! Give them to me now Bungie!

 

[figadapaura]

At some point in Destiny's lifecycle there better be a raid where we have to kill a dragon.

 

[ocean]

Reality-hungry talking dragons would've made fantastic public events. Make them rare and suites for high level Guardians, with a Chance of dropping Legendary Engrams.

You're absolutely right. It went from being barely used to GOAT.

yes to all of this

 

[Deku Tree]

Why?

I'd say it's no more useful than the Symbiote.

With glasshouse, if a Titan pops weapons of light behind the relic bubble then everyone in your party can get the damage buff for 50% more time (15 seconds instead of 10 seconds).

But you don't really need it. Gaffers can usually take out Atheon HM in 1.5 teleports now anyways. So players can probably take out Atheon HM in two teleports with or without Glasshouse.

Sure, but the bubble is always there. If you lose the buff, just step back a second. And like you said, Atheon isn't even hard in HM at this point.

That exactly what an Ahamkara would want you to think...

Hmm what is this that I missed? I will have to re-read that when I get home

Well shit, now I'm depressed that we didn't get this. :-(

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I fully expect some Ahamkara shenanigans/enemies in Destiny 2.

That exactly what an Ahamkara would want you to think...

GET OUT OF MYY HEAD CHARLLESSS NOOOO!!!

 

[Deku Tree]

I liked the Halo games because they had a lot of close quarters combat with massive waves of enemies and drop ships...

in Bungie Halo games there were no bosses like ever (with notable small exceptions like the time you had to take down two Scarabs omg that was so good).

I would like to see more of that in future Destiny Raids instead of big monster oversized bosses.

 

[MrAnderson]

Ya never know, maybe the vex went back in time and snagged a few then put them on venus for giggles.

 

[AmateurHour212]

My Red Death would have something to say about that.

 

[Deku Tree]

Sure, but the bubble is always there. If you lose the buff, just step back a second. And like you said, Atheon isn't even hard in HM at this point.

If your counting down from 10 seconds or 7 seconds it wastes too much time to dip back into the bubble and I think you would do less damage by taking the time to do that instead of just continuing to shoot without the buff.

 

[Namikaze1]

Waiting for Todd to deliver.

If people are downing Atheon in less than 2 runs, then losing a few seconds won't even be an issue.

 

[Lnkn52]

Todd Hype is real, I hope he doesn't disappoint .

 

[Kor of Memory]

GET OUT OF MYY HEAD CHARLLESSS NOOOO!!!

Oh definitely. They could be great villains.

 

[squidhands]

I'm gonna go ahead and start the rumor that Comet is going to contain an Ahamkara raid. First part involves Guardians fighting to tame the young for mounts to ride into the final boss fight.

 

[Deku Tree]

I'm the one who was saying that!

But I'm also saying that as a insignificant theoretical point Glasshouse is still the best exotic for Atheon.

 

[Namikaze1]

He better not!

Spoiler

I have a feeling he will.

 

[Hoodbury]

How is matchmaking for the weekly so far? Any impressions? Thinking of logging in tonight and need to do 2 weekly's. Should I try matchmaking or try to find a group here?

Eh, not by much.

I'll run a few with you later tonight if you're on. I won't be on until about 9pm Central though (6+ hours from now).

 

[Hiko]

It's so fun running up to previously bullet sponge enemies and obliterating them with Invective.

 

[spyder_ur]

You're absolutely right. It went from being barely used to GOAT.

Is it really that good? Do I need to finish the PVP portion of it, finally?

 

[Deku Tree]

It's same as for ROC strikes. Hit or miss depending upon who you get matched with.

Technically the matchmaking works good and fast.

 

[Hoodbury]

OK. I'll probably be on after 9 as well. Do you need any Nightfalls?

It seems to be okay, but it comes with an inherent risk.

If you die, your teammates can simply choose to not revive you. And since you can't leave and rejoin, you have the option of being kicked to orbit for being inactive if you stay dead for too long.


Does anyone know what the timer on that is? 5 minutes maybe?

 

[darkistheway]

I did it Wednesday morning. It went great but I imagine that it will be about as reliable as Roc Strikes.

Some people just don't play Destiny very well.

Worth trying though. You can always jump out and try again.

 

[MrAnderson]

Does anyone want to run ROC strikes or okay some crucible. I'm a self admitted loser at crucible, but I'm good at ROC strikes <_<

WTF... Has that happened to you or anyone you know?

 

[Lnkn52]

The gun is just fun to use. No reloading, 10% buff, and almost infinite supers when combined with Obsidian Mind (PVE).

 

[Kor of Memory]

I've seen a couple of stories on Reddit about it, yeah.

Nothing to me personally, but I can see how it can happen.

Two days ago the wife and I did the weekly with a random and he died at the very beginning of Valus, right in the dead center of the arena.

I was actually worried I wouldn't be able to get to him before he would be kicked. Had to pull out some interesting diversion tactics to revive him.

Can't you just use your controller to avoid this? I find it hard to believe you would be kicked to Orbit for being dead for >5 minutes without it being due to not touching the controller.

I was the sole person alive during the end of Deathsinger on HM once and took forever to complete it. The only person kicked to Orbit put down their controller.

 

[LordofPwn]

When I use weapons of light on atheon i dip back into my bubble when i reload so i always have the bonus damage, thus glasshouse offers zero benefit to me. I'd rather have ruin wings or helm of saint 14 for added protection against supplicants if 1 were to manage to get close to me.

Being dead starts the inactivity timer. Doesn't matter how much you change your camera or check out your inventory.

Edit: I'm pretty sure Raids have different rules for inactivity.

 

[ocean]

That would suck but if ROC strikes are any indication, the chance of being matched with AFKers is far higher than this happening.
