I think those designs are supposed to be Awoken themed right?

Can't say with any certainty from this of course, but it looks to me from these descriptions that the 28 playlist is completely randomized each time, 32 and 34 are a normal and hard mode for a weekly random assortment of pre-selected challenges (like a Nightfall), whereas the 35 version is a static weekly challenge that is always the same?

Is it just me or do the back of the banners seem to indicate level of the roll you might get at the end?

That's what it looks like to me. I think that makes sense, given how difficult the harder modes appear to be: you want to be able to plan and strategize around them.

The new modifiers look interesting.
  • Small Arms: Primary weapon buff? I think we saw this.
  • Exposure: I think this was the lack of shield regeneration.
  • Grounded: Looks like clipped wings. Reduced vertical movement (ug).
  • Brawler: beefed up melee attacks all around. I think someone actually suggested this earlier.
  • Catapult: it's a grenade icon, so I'm guessing longer grenade throwing distance?
  • Trickle: Slow super regeneration. I think we saw this one as well.
  • Specialist: boosted special weapon damage.
  • Airborne: wings with arrows pointed up. Improved jump ranges?

It's a good mix, I wonder if there are more. I'd love to see them applied to the current strikes.

Though, I really don't like the look of Clipped. I really loathe restricted movement options as a way to increase difficulty.
 
You're right. You're not much of a personality.




Please don't kill me.

no you're right. that's why i don't stream or make videos often. when it comes to voice alone, i'm not very charismatic.

in order you succeed at streaming video games, you need either some form of charisma, or boobs.

Ok I'm gonna have one character that has all the VoG weapons (if I ever get a Foil at least), another that has all CE weapons, and the last one is gonna try to carry all PoE weapons. Otherwise no room.

Deej, a dev, and some streamer made fools of themselves to everyone watching

Really don't understand why they didn't either play PoE at an easier difficulty or have some competent internal playtesters play with human-Omnigul while DeeJ and Mr. Sammons commentate.

Worked last week for Trials of Osiris, why not this week?

A bit disappointed that the real challenges won't have matchmaking, but oh well.
Funny how they did their best to include mechanisms that should naturally prevent cheesing and soloing this content.
Other than that, they were playing reaaaally bad, and ProfessorBroman was sooooo annoying.
 
Sorry Kadey, n0oblet and everyone else in the HM Crota party, had to go it's getting a bit late here.
Also the swordbearer was being a total ass by going to the ogre room all the time. Man I hate HM Crota so bad and still I keep doing it :(

Looking for 3 more for Crota's End NM.

If you need a swordbearer I can help. Just call out rockets.

Nine out of ten times it's his fault.

All the House of Wolves coverage has me really excited to jump back into Destiny, but I still haven't tried out of the Crota raid. How hard would it be for a noob like myself to do the raid? I'm guessing everyone is a pro at the raid now and don't want to be a hindrance.
 
I so desperately want a good 331 damage high-impact AR. I love using AR's on my Titan, but with my Exotic slot now taken up with Gjallarhorn/Thunderlord I can't use SUROS anymore. Abyss Defiant just doesn't cut it.

Guess I can just level up my Ruin Wings and run with Thunderlord as a primary, but I don't wanna lose my blinding Bubble of Pain.

Yup, although some were my fault. Needed a bit of adjustment with calling out rockets and also taking down the swordbearer. I think I'm too spoiled of everyone nuking him with Gjallarhorns that I forgot to do the same to help the team.

Normal raid is pretty easy, up to the point of being able to be two-manned and even solo'ed with ease. If you can get to level 30/31 and take two or more experienced people with you, you won't have any trouble at all.
