The Oryx fight will be very different from previous bosses in that the player cannot do any damage to Oryx at all.

Oryx can only be damaged by Darkness. Darkness that all the other enemies (read: Taken) will be firing at us.

The only way to damage Oryx is to basically "cleanse" a group of adds, who will then turn to fire at Oryx for a brief period of time. Guardians will have a relic that will cleanse a group of enemies with a very long cool down. So you'll want to find a good sized enemy group to cleanse. You don't want to cleanse like a single dreg and a vandal. You'll only do like 3% damage to Oryx. You want to cleanse like a group of 6 or 7 enemies to drop his health by like 10-18%.

This is how Bungie is getting around the G'horn spam, by not even letting the players damage the boss themselves. Instead the whole fight will be about avoidance and add cleanup. Because once you cleanse a group of enemies, you obviously want to keep them alive as long as possible from other adds.

Eventually Oryx will make his way over and destroy them no matter what, but that's the difference between the 10% and 18%.

Relics will be lost on use, and you'll have to traverse the map to find another one to use. They'll spawn like the new Spark does in the Rift mode except in various spots. Similar to the spark, if you don't use it within X time, you'll die from self combustion.


Also bored at work.

Obviously none of this is true. I'm just making it up as I go.

It....sounds all true.

You know they'll make use of that spark thing in the raid at least.

I have ~10 E-Light left, but I upgrade lots of stuff. I have Fatebringer and Blackhammer ascended duplicates. I also have a bunch of armor upgraded. First I started upgrading armor that complimented exotics. Then I upgraded armor that had certain perks. Then I upgraded armor because it had a Hawk on the chest.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother reading the Destiny subreddit, it's has a toxic atmosphere and it's full of constant shitposting from blind Destiny fanboys and hater's alike. Atleast with the Bungie.net community, they have self depreciating humour to go along with the toxicity, with gems like this one;

Reverse flawless! Just went 0-9 in trials. AMA.

I'm in tears.

Nah. It'll show up as some mini quest that's part of a bounty in the Forge of the Gods DLC that comes out next May.

Yes, I'm making fun of the Turret quest. :p

I actually love the Turret quest.

It's Activisions infamous exchange rate in action, where $40=£40=40 Euros.

This is pretty much why I usually avoid buying Activision games, we Brits get shafted heavily in price. Destiny is the first Activision published game I've bought in years, and I only bought it because I didn't have to spend a dime of my own money on the game and season pass, Gamespots $5 Xbox code giveway last year funded it for me lol, I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

I'll see if I get TTK or not, hopefully Gamespot have another giveaway in the next 3 months, I've still got all my facebook accounts I made last year still open lol

I'm very excited to play a Stormcaller Warlock after looking at Bungie's writeup for the sub-class. It seems, on paper at least, to be a very versatile collection of powers.

The only thing I'll miss from maining Sunsinger is self-rez. Too good.

I'm sure some from Halo GAF would argue and try to count every Halo OT for every Halo game ever but IDK if I would agree with them.

Hawkian said:
well, you see, it's a bit of a race, you see. Halo OT's at almost 100 pages, you see.

Halo has 100 pages since 4/30. Destiny has 63 pages since 6/13. We might get there first.

here is my post from Monday I think

My hopes and dreams for the Taken King DLC, specifically the raid.

The taken: New enemy type,
Zombified guardians. those that lost thier ghost were resurrected by Oryx instead of the traveler

New raid: Oryx is comming, you must intercept him before he reaches earth.

Phase one:

you come out of hyperspace into a space battle and must shoot down enemy ships. goal is to land in the hanger bay of an extremely large Hive Ship
Death star style

Phase two:

Fight in the hanger bay: like most of Destiny the goal here is to open doors to get into the ship proper. Some new machanic to do
im not a VG designer

Phase three:

Take on the taken. You are unable to kill them unless your ghost frees them of thier zombification. you need to have at least 2 ghosts attached to each taken to nullify them in order to damage them. If they are out too long without one of your ghosts attached to them, they were cast some kind of zombify on you and you will be under thier control.
for a brief time.

Phase four:

Take on Oryx, in order to do so, you will need to nullify his Taken guards the same way you did in phase 3, only this time you will send them after Oryx. Once they have done
something
, only then can you damage him.


Very crude I know, but just a rough daft of something I think would be cool. I think fighting on a giant Death star type hive ship and of course having the 1st phase be a space battle to get to the ship would be fucking awesome.

Well this is no longer the Destiny 1 OT this is now the Destiny Community OT.

So I think we create a Destiny 2 OT in gaming and keep the community OT going over here with the same OT count.

That's what Halo and every other game does. That's also what we have been doing with the Destiny Expansions so far.

I'm guessinf restart. I think Destiny 2 will be beyond amazing and the thread will move faster than ever.

Restart might also depend on what exactly we carry over in terms of our characters.

Edit, or what Deku said.

All thats left is tidbits we'll get from people on the floor playing mayhem and rift.

I still haven't really seen the 2 mayhem maps hardly at all.

I know the 2 rift maps were Bannerfall and Frontier.

Haven't seen anything on Sector 618(PS exclusive) and Crossroads.

I think Sector 618 is the one with the Man Cannons and is apparently on Mars?
