damn, that seems sort of impossible based on my experiences in various groups (they spawn throughout the fight), but if this is the case and you want to get a bunch of glimmer in that strike now all you have to do is kill the boss slower- and definitely pop a polyphage, it makes a massive difference.

Gjallarhorn spam. Ruin Wings. Put blessing bubble near boss and jump spam shotguns to the face.

You mean weapons of light right? I've never used shotguns on him.. sounds like fun. The Nexus boss murdered me easily with some kind of melee range blast when I tried so I never would've thought to do that.

No, I use blessing because the boss has an AoE attack if you get close to him. Blessing keeps you alive up close.

Best case scenario you have 2 titans, one with blessing and other with weapons.

Same thing applies to Nexus. Blessing + shotgun to the face.

 

[Atone13]

Atone, if you're reading, bummer there's no helm but those 13 coins would be well-spent on Starfire Protocol. That and a pair of Vanguard boots (no comm needed), leveled up, and you'll hit 30 easily.

Thanks for looking out Hawkian, I'm pleased to inform you I did pick up that chest earlier today. Put me about halfway-ish through 27. I'm gonna spend some time, probably a little later today, farming up some coins for the boots. Also gonna finish off a couple of bounties and see if I can upgrade the gloves or chest a bit to get that light up from there as well.

Don't know if you missed my post from last night, but let me just thank you again for that run, it was a great group and I really enjoyed it a lot.

being sarcastic? Shotgunning bosses feels pretty damn good to me. Definitely my favorite way to take on the Archon Priest now...

Sweet, glad to hear it. and I totally did miss that post. Was a fun run for sure.

Hey when you need to get an exotic shard to finish leveling your new chest, you can just dismantle that Gjallarhorn you. It's not very good

Oooh, that's the attack the Nexus guy wrecked me with. Clever solution. I will try that next time I'm on the strike with my Titan for sure.

I'm thinking, maybe leave him alive at 10% health or so just to run around the room and farm glimmer a bit?

 

[Anastasis]

1 Spot for NF and Weekly. Will do it 3 times.

PM me

PSN Raybunzy

I only need the weekly and only twice. Would that be cool? I assume you're running the three nightfalls first though, right?

 

[Mindlog]

I want to say that blast only hurts you when you are on the ground.
I've had fun hopping up and down at point blank range with the shotgun. However, I generally avoid damaging the boss at all to be certain we get to major waves :]

Yup, I have a Void hide and seek with full auto, final round and field scout. Gives me 28 shells in the mag. Destroys everything.

 

[WheelHoss1]

I'm ready whenever, just sitting in orbit until everyone is ready to group up.

Joined you hoping others will come. If more show up, we can start a party.

Also, I have CP.

 

[rasengan1337]

Just shards and energy but I will farm the gate keeper at some point over the weekend so it's a big help still.

if you want to farm GK, NM is easier to use for that purpose. lmk if you want that CP.

 

[Twilight Gap]

well, my first few games as a titan have been interesting

I want to say the Nexus one at least killed me in the air. But truth be told I tried to roll up on him Shotgun style once, got humbled, and never tried again lol.

Funny... I always considered the boss by far the longest part of that strike (but didn't mind because of all the glimmer)

Cool, I'm just in the middle of making food but I'll be back in about 5-10mins.

It's how I can punch out the Archon Priest~ Titan Bubble really is OP.

Okay DGAF, which is the better track:

Eye of the Gate Lord
or
The Last Array
?

Spoiler

My vote's for Gate Lord, but I have a sneaking suspicion more prefer the latter

which one can you hum? the choice is obvious then

that's how good themes work IMO

edit: well on that note i was going to give it to gate lord, but the last quarter of that song is annoying. repetitive boss music gets on my nerves.

i don't like last array either

 

[brianjones]

last array but eye is really good too

gimme da chillies

Probably the best two themes in the game but my vote goes for The Last Array. The Sepiks Prime theme is up there with the best of them though

Not sure if anyone noticed but the stranger's rifle has a bulb at the tip which glows in the dark every couple of seconds.

The rifle of the future comes with a flashlight.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Wait, why level 30? Just do it on the first heroic level (I believe it's 19). Higher level does not give you any extra glimmer or xp. You can clear that checkpoint in one minute, with roughly 600 glimmer each run.

See that's the noob in me. I thought I had to put it to level 30 to get the maximum glimmer. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

[Darryl M R]

We are ready but haven't started.

Can I get an invite to the party or session? Sorry about the delay

 

[Twilight Gap]

guardians lost is the only track i like from the last array mission. marty makes good ambiance

also really like first challenge from the restoration. those drums man

[123rl]

It's the best piece in crucible if you like playing a blade dancer.

Thanks. I don't play PvP so is it good for PvE too?

I'm working on having a tailored set of armour for each ability for my Titan and Warlock, so that I can switch between them easily. I've got enough Hunter gear now to make it worth creating a character so I'll keep it

 

[Homeboyd]

Better do it quickly before the special ammo nerf drops for crucible.

Nah in PvE it is all about the helmets for the Hunter or in some specific cases the Don't touch me gauntlets.

 

[LTWood12]

I'm an Ishtar Sink kind of guy myself. Always reminds me of my first raid completion.

Yeah, or I just wait for hunger to drop... like never.

also, siege dancers is the best boss music in the game

[Skele7on]

NM Crota/Flawless?!

Anyone up for either of these?

Also need to do nightfalls I haven't played in a couple weeks :\ sorry

 

[Impala26]

Last Array and Sepkis Prime are great, but my two favorites are:

Cabal Stomp
and

The Cabal's theme is arguably the strongest "enemy faction" theme of the game. I definitely have a feeling it's one of the first themes (aside from the main Guardian theme) that Marty came up with.

I'm an Ishtar Sink kind of guy myself. Always reminds me of my first raid completion.

Love this too, however the latter part I can' unsee fighting Aksor in my head while listening to it, lol.

Yeah too bad he won't be there for Destiny 2

Ishtar Sink also reminds me of Black Garden. Ugh.

 

[GhaleonEB]

There's some way or another to actually skip the wall that prevents you from running up the stairs right away, but after a variety of attempts I can't reproduce it to explain how. But, the stuff at that wall with a party chaining supers for orbs will die extremely fast.

I recently went all Bladedancer at that part, missed a blow, and sailed through the wall. I wandered around for a few seconds and then went back to help my fire team.

Anyone running, um, anything?

I like whatever's at the end of The Black Garden personally. I like the ramp up as you progress to the end.

I will live a happy life without hearing any of the Cabal music ever again.

Don't judge Cabal based on Vaalus strike is all I will say.

Can't wait for the Cabal raid.

Yes bring on the Cabal raid.

Also, I don't have an irrational hatred for Vaalus, I am just tired of hearing the Mars music. I've had enough. That goes for most of the music in the game. It's not that I don't like it, it's that there's nothing I can listen to for 1000 hours and still want to hear regularly.

Had this drop last night. Will be getting SUROS Regime when I log in tonight. Also had Prestige IV drop.

Hoping to get a decent sniper rifle by the end of the week. Might have to buy one from the Vanguard dude.

I'm thinking 3x NM Atheon in about 2 hours. That and the HM Gorgons are the 6 shots I'm willing to give to the cause this week.

If you're around in a couple hours, lemme know.

Will also need 4 others if anyone else is interested. I have the NM gorgon CP to start from.

unless I am raiding, im listening to a podcast or something while playing, the sound is always down on destiny reagrdless.

also I think the games rumble has jarred my controller. I cant play with out it. I cant even tell if Im firing my gun unless the rumble is on.

I would be down for this. PSN: thenal84


Also is anyone down to do any crota runs? I need one more run wth my warlock on Nm and then 3 x HM.
