What happened with the Priest? I spent like 1 month without playing Destiny. Must have been during that time.
Leave it unannounced
Sees people complaining about it on Reddit before they get to announce it
Announce that it was actually unintentional
Worst thing is that it actually makes sense...
Thank you.
I muddled through with my brother for support and a rare void fusion rifle

It sounds like Queens favor is another weekly bonus for doing all the target bounties. Kinda like the weekly nightfall bounty for Eris that rewards motes. I wouldn't expect much more than that. But 1 etheric light would be fucking awesome.

I've been playing with mine while farming HoW chests and I've been impressed with it for PvE. The gun had a really bad rep before all the buffs. But it's something special now.

This just in:
So ppl can farm the end chest? Makes sense.
Farm the keys, so you can farm the end chest.
Am I the only one seeing a problem here?
I did it twice exclusively with 77 Wizard, almost all in Rumble (the second time after the fusion rifle nerf in fact). A void primary is not necessary.
It has been a blast in PvE for a long time and enables some incredible PvE builds. Zoba was saying it is now ensconced in the top tier for PvP as well.
Exactly, Bungie seriously needs to balance their stuff more/better and leave some other things alone. As much as I love my Hawkmoon if that means that the almighty Thorn gets its buff together with the HM then so be it.
Totally agreed, the bounty difficulty is way overblown IMO.
I consider top tier to be TLW HM and of course our good friend the Thorn actually haha but the Bad Juju is also a very good weapon if you know how to use it. I prefer it to the Red Death because I can't just seem to make enough kills with that slow firing bad stabilized weapon, it's just not my thing =P
I've seen this referenced now a couple times. What or how do you play at higher levels? Isn't matchmaking all random?

Huh, weird. I tried it with Word of Crota, Praedyth's Revenge, and a Prudence II and barely made progress on it. Plus having to use a hand cannon in PvP made it no fun for me since I suck with those so bad. And I tried it after special weapon ammo drops got reduced, so that made it even harder.

The Thorn bounty is tough if you try to play out of your element. if you find a decent Void special and heavy, you just have to stay positive for 10-20 games. Perhaps it goes by quicker if you have Word of Crota or Atheon's Epilogue so long as you don't die a bunch of times, but I don't see that going too well with the current meta game.
Anything that isn't in the top 5-10 weapons is basically obsolete.
Thorn either needs a lower mag again and/or a DoT change (proc only on headshots or low health opponents)
The Last Word needs 111 glitch patched
Hawkmoon's fine
Red Death's fine
Mythoclast needs better visual feedback and less body shot damage
Once you pass mid-level, these are the only weapons you see. Once you get to high level, it's only Thorn and TLW. And a step above that is only Thorn, Felwinter's Lie and Bladedancers.

Noup, since the keys are just a re roll token to get loot but the important loot is locked after the first completition. Bungie have to bound the key to your character if not you will see people farming keys then pass it to the character they need and that would be a problem

It honestly wasn't that hard. I got halfway through it with only a fusion rifle, the next day I had enough marks to get a void MG and I was done.

Nah, I think it's a good idea. Gives you more reason to run PoE more than once a week. I don't think you'll be able to farm keys efficiently enough for it to be ALL you do all week.
You can only use one key per PoE run. So say you get a key on the level 32 PoE mode, then you use a key at the end of that run. You can run level 32 again and use one of your extra keys. You can farm the chests as long as you have keys, BUT you still have to complete the whole mode again each time.
So Rahool's brother, Loohar?Seems like Rahool will be lonely tomorrow:
Because of this guy:
I found the Thorn bounty easy but I had all void weapons- primary, secondary, and heavy.
Still don't have the Thorn cause I've sat on the bounty til the dlc hits. Want it to land at 365 if possible.
It was a pain as someone who didn't play Crucible a lot at the time but I ended getting through the PvP part of the Thorn bounty using only a void Light/Beware. Getting through that and Xyor really felt like an accomplishment.
I love Thorn because of that feeling of hard work paying off (plus it really feels like a special gun) but I do get why people don't like it in PvP even though I use it there a decent amount because it's fun. I'd hate for it to get nerfed in PvE though but it'll happen.

I used Atheon's Epilogue, the Suros MKB-51 and the Truth coupled with those sticky Titan grenades, bounty went pretty fast that way.

I agree with this. Getting hit with the Vex is like getting hit by a truck. I sometimes feel like I get stun locked
Not at all. Now people have reason to help their friends do it after they've already done it.

Red Death is the anti Thorn. It throws off your aim and saves you from the DoT.
If all guns were good for fighting in the air, I wouldn't mind using Red Death. Once you get used to mobility though, it's hard to give up TLW.
I don't use sniper rifles in the Crucible by any stretch whatsoever so I don't have much ability to advise in that category, since you named two. A void shotgun or fusion would be a much more straightforward, and Corrective Measure would give you the biggest advantage toward doing it of any item in the game IMO.

I managed to complete the PVP Thorn bounty without a void primary where Invective was my savior. Had to forego how I usually play and concentrate on getting the best K/D possible while only using Invective. Took several days to do it, but believe me, it's worth it.
Thorn is my favorite hand cannon in the game. Hawkmoon just dropped for me and I'm giving it a whirl and getting used to it so I can't pass final judgment yet, but Thorn has given me a huge boost in PVP. I love that thing.
Thanks for the tip, I really really reaaally need to learn how to use it, skilled players seem to wreck shit in PvP.

I totally woulda used AE if I had it. I don't play PvP with my Titan much, but if I she ever gets the Thorn bounty I'll definitely give it another shot.
Oops, I thought Prudence was a machine gun. I'm not sure what gun I'm thinking of... Anyhoo, I usually use snipers over shotguns, except for on the smallest maps. That's been changing, though, since I've been trying out an agility focused PvP build and using MIDA as my primary. It's shotguns 90% of the time now.

Red Desth seriously reminds me of the battle rifle, but with hell of a lot less range.
I love it.
I love it.
I love the shit of of Red Death. I love the sensation of getting into a chaotic 2v1 at range and realizing that you actually have the advantage because you know at least one of them will get killed and trigger the regen. My biggest problem with it is being too aggressive because of how confident it can make you feel after a couple of "near deaths." Really easy to keep it equipped while running into what I'd call "Felwinter's range."
Ah, Prestige IV most likely
You must be thinking of something else. Invective is solar.

Red Death is fantastic, I always do very well with it. 2 bursts = dead.

Thorn doesn't need a nerf imo. If anything drop the clip size to 6.
If the DoT was refreshed with each hit then yeah I could see why that would be overpowered but it doesn't.
The other HC's perform just as well as the Thorn. They arguably have a quicker TTK when the rng works in their favour. The Thorn is more about putting people under pressure, making them panic and then finishing them off or letting your team mates do so.
I've not properly used my Thorn for a while in Crucible, I've been using my Vex instead and that thing wrecks if you know how to use it properly.

yup that's why i gave up on it. It's great for mid-long range but not the best for being up close in the action.

This means when you beat PoE once for the week and get the end rewards you can then proceed to run it a 2nd time, and if you have an extra key you can use it to open yet another chest at the end.
At least that's what I got from it.
When I did it I had no void primary so I had to do it with Swordbreaker and Truth. But this was back when special ammo wasn't this scarce and killing enemies with heavy would drop heavy ammo.

Well these pics kinda suck, but luckily I took one of the 'Reforge Ready' bubble that should be unique to Hose of Wolves stuff. I'll try and get a better pic, sorry for potato quality.
INVITE ONLY!
INVITE ONLY!
So basically all those keys you've been farming, you can complete PoE and open the chests at the end for rewards. Not sure how many chests there are, but lets says there are 3. If you have 3 more keys, you can complete PoE again and open those 3 chests again.
They came up with the idea of Recommendations just to make Tower vendor purchases. It's clear Bungie gives zero fucks when it comes to boneheaded ideas that fuck over the player.
