Oops, yeah you're right. In my mind I meant that as like options for the guaranteed key drop(s) not necessarily ALL of them. There should be probably only one or two guaranteed ones if they'll ever make it that way.
Nix the second one, people would be happy I'm sure to have some other value to strange coins.
26 actually

Oh I'm not bothered by Xur's stock. I didn't think he'd bring the new stuff yet. I'm salty about spending 230 motes of light and only having 10 shards to show for it.

Why are people saying to use motes of light on Xur, he only accepts strange coins, right?

Does anyone else think the instant kill/wipe mechanics in this game are annoying and need to go? Like, failing to disarm the bombs, getting to close to a boss, failing to kill oracles etc etc. I get they want to make the content hard, but it just comes off as frustrating and lame mechanics to me. Looking at Skolas as well and the solar burn. I don't think that was meant to make it so you could nuke him with a party of Ghorns so much as to make him able to 1-2 shot you and have a boat load of captains, vandals, and dregs run around and nuke you as well. It just feels like a lot of the ways they design engagements are to hide in corners and hope you don't get destroyed by the waves and waves of enemies that never need to reload, but then go destroy some object smack dab in the middle of said waves and waves of enemies. VoG was a little different in that aspect, but CE and now PoE seem to follow that trend.

Anyone still need to run NF?
Exotic engrams are bought with motes.

His engrams cost motes.
Not even from the auto rifle you buy with a weapon core? That's really weird.
i've dismantled all PoE reward "queens" legendaries i've gotten, they just give 1 Mote of Light and some weapon parts.
shitty pulse/scout/fusionrifles
Yeah, me too. I was thinking about the blue weapons, not the queen's. I got her shotgun like 5 times?
It's becoming like Contra. The difficult end game content is basically a game of hide and seek and it ruins the fun. I was excited for the objectives in PoE but seeing how they just flood the arenas with yellow guys that can one shot kill you makes it a lot less fun. Solution: hide and then send a titan bubble or bladedance to objective and then run back to hide again.
Everyone just naturally puts there backs against a wall, peaks their head around a corner and picks away at the enemies. It's not great game design. I'm still having a blast, the gunplay is good as ever, but the core game design still hasn't changed.

The solution to this problem is simple: create a warlock!
Yeah, that's why I'm not interested in running PoE 34 as a 33, or PoE 35.
I did my first PoE 32 yesterday with some gaffers and I had a blast. It was not particularly challenging, but I had such fun that I can't wait to do it again on my two other characters.
PoE 35 artificial difficulty can kiss my ass, and I'll wait until I reach 34 to try PoE 34...

Yes, you need the armor and weapon cores that drop.

Cleared lvl 35 Prison of Elders last night. Overall, I had a great week running through the new content with some friends and taking on the new challenges. The boss fights were for the most part fun, and i'm looking forward to trying Skolas w/o Solar burn. The ghorn method worked for us, but Solar on the fight just feels cheap - both for us and for the boss. Looking forward to having to pay attention to the mechanics and get a legit kill with no burn at all.
From PoE35 I got the ship, shader, and emblem, and I rolled a crappy Fallen rocket launcher from a Judgement package. (chance to stun Fallen Captains but Void damage?! Really!?!) Decided to try my luck with a second package and got the handcannon with a decent roll.

I swear to God, the game weights armor drops to any class you DON'T have.
When I was rolling two characters (Titan and Hunter), like 80% of my legendary and exotic armor engrams became Warlock stuff.
It's fine, ranking my Warlock up as we speak. He'll jump like straight from 20 to 27 or so with completely unranked gear, haha.

Interesting. It sounds like his positioning and timing on the rockets is key.
Its weird, when I did it earlier in the day with Karitk and Nami we really didn't have much trouble at all. He seemed to get burned down quickly.

I still enjoy it all as well, but I'm tired of hiding in tiny rooms to avoid getting destroyed. I guess it's hard to balance between making the player an unstoppable juggernaut, and having them still have to play conservative from time to time.

People have been saying that you get a super like once during a Trial of Osiris match. So golden gun is probably more effective.
This sounds juicy. Still need to unlock that perk.

Oh, I didn't know the boons stack for ToO. So I only have to win three games for the armor, should be easy.

Cool, thanks.
I'm 31 already because I had so many crucible marks saved up I managed to buy a couple of pieces of FWC gear. Have the full set now

But that's only if they are alone, someone else on their team could still mop you up.
It's only three? That's good. I'm only interested in the armor haha.
It's 3 after using all the buffs.
Edit: speaking of which, I'm stuck at work for ToO. When you guys start it can post the specifics of the buffs? Like when/how they can be used.

The armor cost five. However, you just get the boon that start you off with a free win and also the one that makes one win count as two.
Yeah but one of the buffs requires that you win your first match or you lose it so everyone is going to be very intense in their first match.
Yeah, got them all already. But it do seem like you need to win the first one to get two. Look at wording used when you hover over the icon at the character screen.
