Had a bad first ToO experience, every team I got on one person had to leave during the match and didn't seem like they could be fully invested (understandable, real life > video games). Hoping tonight at 9 my team with Cosmo Man can pull out some wins :)

Going to play the witcher 3 until then.

So you need 9 wins no losses to get to the lighthouse? Lame. What do you get for 9 wins with losses? Whats the prize at the end for that?

How is it lame? It's the highest tier reward available. For the first time ever Destiny is rewarding players for how good they are, it's never done that.

If you lose then the highest reward you can get is the Gold tier reward from the ToO guy which is a randomised top tier reward that can give you Etheric light and guns and armour too I think and you are required to win 8 matches. It's like a chest, just doesn't look fancy like the mercury reward.

The chest can't.

This is making PoE seem kind of bad. On your journey to 9 wins you get gear age every match (at a really good drop rate).

If you HIT 9 wins flawlessly you get a metric tons of loot.

This is my jam.

Loot-wise it for sure is, though the skill needed to get a flawless ticket merits the difference IMO, and I'm speaking as a scrub.

Okay, I'm going to have to give ToO a shot at some point. PvP pisses me off but I must be decent at it since I've had at least one match where I went 23-0 myself. I just need to match up with a couple of good GAFers and get some practice first since I don't play PvP much lately.

The ability to buy everything in the store?

Yeah, ToO actually rewards you. After hearing about that I STILL cant believe there are people defending the key design for PoE. And by gearage after every match, you mean the Egyptian set?

It's not a metric ton though, you get like one gun and other stuff like passage coins.

Oh so 9 wins gives you a bunch of stuff? Nice. I said it was lame because I like doing pve more(but I can rock PvP just as hard) and compared to PoE, it seems the best rewards will be in ToO.

Its confirmed that if you have the forgive a loss boon and you lose a match and the boon eats the loss, but you win the rest, you still get to go to the special location.

Any groups from EU need one more for ToO?

Just asking so the connection is as stable as possible between the 3 of us.

Yes, this is exactly what happened to Gothalion during his stream.

And he had the other boons active too. I doesn't matter HOW you get there, just as long as your Trials Card reads 9 wins - 0 losses.

OK, I guess I'm still looking for a ToO group. Just want to get in and see it - decent PVPer but nothing too serious. Running my 32 Hunter. spyder_ur

Saw someone pull etheric light, suros, solar handcannon, and coins.. that's a ton to me :(

Hell, the solar handcannon is a metric ton in itself.
Click to expand...

That's triplewreck and he didn't get etheric just motes, passage coins, suros and hand canon and an emblem.
The exotic and emblem is not guaranteed, I didn't get any, I only got a handcanon, 4 motes and some ToO passage coin.

Toa, Stalker, good games. No Mercury but 9 wins in this thing is still an impressive feat.


...also this Pulse Rifle, holy shit. Headseeker and Third Eye.

Edit: Also I'm a member now. Only took 3 years.

I wonder if you can buy the loss eating buff as many times as you can i.e buy one and if you lose then buy one again.

The exotic and emblem is not guaranteed, since I didn't get any, I only got a handcanon, motes and passage coins.
