Sure, we can take those if they're open. 3 of us have done Vog a bunch, although I've never been a good relic holder for the templar, as long as that's not a problem.

Tower time's gonna fall off now that the vault app exists. Only going there to hit up Xur and pick up bounties from here on out. Gear switching to be done either in orbit, on planet, or at work IRL for me now.

Hey, just saw this. On my way!
Bungie's explanation for removing the loot cave is so dumb. Yeah, technically you are getting more engrams from doing strikes. But what's easier and more relaxing? Shooting three trash mobs over and over, or grinding the strike playlist? I loved that cave. Especially when that Fallen/Hive battle royale would break out. When I was with a group of four other randoms, that was honestly more fun than any strike or raid I've been part of.
Well that's not a good swordbearer, that's an exceptional swordbearer if they can kill him in two swords (Which probably also requires three shieldbreaks in first sword). A good swordbearer is just the one who is consistent and can take Crota down with three swords with the normal strategy imo
On the topic of running HM Crota with 30/31s - Do they even need to go down to the Ogre room? Could they not just hide in a safe spot up in the crystal room while the rest of the team downs the ogres? If they got up high, they could probably avoid the thralls.
I'm just thinking, because whenever I've run HM Crota (as 31 and as 32,) that's the only time I've really worried about dying.
Heck with the new Infinite Thrall Glitch/Loot cave, you don't even have to aim! If you could get autofire on the melee button, you could tape the button down and walk away.

But they didn't remove the Fallen/Hive battle royale part.
That's still there.
Also, the loot cave was annoying for anyone that actually wanted to play the real content, as everyone else thought it was more efficient to not do any strikes/pvp when you could just shoot into a cave.
I'm game. ID: Ozone31
We've left 30/31's in the crystal room while we fight the ogre's. They just need to be on top of the doors to stay safe from the thralls that will spawn.

No need wait for Xur to bring the Red Death upgrade anymore. Just got it from the Gorgon chest. Thanks as always iRAW!
No surprise, it's like if Bungie delivered raids 18 months after launch.
It's actually like number 50+ on the exotic shard list i've got 30 in my vault plus 14 fully upgraded exotics, plus however many i used to buy upgraded exotics.
lol get on my level.
Congrats. that's the only exotic I really want for the raids

You sunnova bitch...
I'm actually pretty close to a handful of other points.
4 more strikes = 5 points
12 more rumble wins = 5 points
18 more clash wins = 5 points
150 more shotgun kills = 5 points
19 more ogres kills = 5 points
4 more strikes = 5 points
12 more rumble wins = 5 points
18 more clash wins = 5 points

Should be a progressive weekend.

They can jump up on the door frames but this usually pulls the left tower Ogre down into the bottom middle area instead of aggro'ing on the group in the right tower. Not necessarily a problem (edit: i.e. team can still kill left Ogre as it's crossing into the middle, or kill it from above by the window while Scrota is in the middle, before he goes right) but more importantly it shouldn't be an issue to get the 30/31's into Ogre room position with the rest of the team. I can elaborate a bit more in a minute...
fixed
Someone was very excited
I may have to steal this picture for my collection and pretend like I was sharing the CP
I don't have a screenshot saved of someone getting RD from the Gorgons chest, only missing that and Suros...
Yeah i need 104 ogres, 109 hydras, 11 strikes, 68 rumble wins, and 66 salvage wins to max my grimoire before HoW.
fuck rumble
*dies*
Yeah that ain't happening naturally, otherwise I would have had way more than 4 rumble wins.

Have to get 1st on the server...
Only thing I like about rumble: prevented me from ever trying to grind grimoire.
Just make sure Zoba doesn't delete your characters when he's done Share Playing...

I didnt noticed but killing enemies with the Bad Juju while you are on Radiance (sunsingers) give you extra meter so the more you kill the more time you can stay on radiance.

Haha, well....sorry Grimoire, but you'll never be whole. Not only do I not have the mad eSports skills to consistently wreck people without a team, but it's also my least favorite PVP mode.
Jumping knife throws are the best knife throws.

Thats a lot of PvP you need still, yikes.
Those strikes though? You can knock that out in less than an hour.
I just got done farming some hydras just outside the black garden portal. It took me 65 minutes to kill 70 Hydras.

Ya'll hate on rumble far too much.
It's a great mode where I don't have to rely on pleby randoms.

Rumble is fine. It actually makes me play specific maps in different ways, and I like that. Clash has actually grown on me as well. I used to be a straight up Control/Salvage only kind of guy, but Clash has let me branch out for my kills.
Man, I miss halo kill heat maps.
Youre absolutely right.

I'll keep posting this PSA since it's not widely known:
-1 level below enemies = 32% penalty for damage dealt and received, e.g: a Lv32's R2 sword smash decreases 32% from 22,501 to 15,301 from NM to HM Scrota.
-2 levels below enemies = 42% penalty, e.g. R2 smash = 13,051 damage
-3 levels below enemies = 52% penalty
One level down makes all the difference, going two levels down makes very little additional difference. Completely negligible for the success of the team relative to (1) glitches and lag, and (2) people scrubbing up the strat.
With 5 Lv30s I did a Lv31 3-sword NM Crota kill on NM CE launch weekend. I've done HM Scrota kills with 4 31s and a 30. That's just a reflection of how Destiny's light level systems were designed, not anything to do with supposed "skill." Sword running just requires experience, not skill.
Sword 1, Combo 1: (R1-R1-R2) + (R1-R1-R2) + R2 = 69,307
Sword 1, Combo 2: (R1-R1-R2) + (R1-R1-R2) + R2 = 138,614 total damage
Sword 2, Combo 1: (R1-R1-R2) + R2 + R2 = 196,219 total damage (no Enrage)
Sword 2, Combo 2: (R1-R1-R2) + (R1-R1-R2) + R2 = 265,526 = Dead Scrota
To reliably get the big combo, just need coordinated DPS and reasonably lag-free connection so sword can start attacking as soon as the rockets hit. Don't need any triple-downs and avoid Enrage completely since he dies right when the text pops up.

Sweet. You can have your friends send Hawkian an FR if you want.
Up to you if you want to give the relic a shot during Templar, this is a good opportunity. There's a lot of leeway on normal.
