Bungie forgot their lessons about putting challenges into games that disrupt natural flow.
*cough* running people over with the ATV *cough*
This can be done easily on the Undying Mind Strike in that Major Hallway, you know the one.
yeah Hunter seems way easier, just kill majors, you can even do that with randoms.
celestial nighthawk makes it even easier, get a major down and proc, and you don't even need to worry for omnigul, kinda the same with blade dancer, just whittle and hope randoms don't get the kill first, but still pretty easy.
the 7 orb thing sounds nightmarish

I don't think it's a good design. It forces you to set up a fireteam with two friends losing their time helping you or you are wasting 2 random people time trying to do it by yourself.

Well damn, coulda swore I did that multiple times.
mfw I roleplay Storm from Xmen and fry Hunters
nightstalkers confirmed for smoke and mirrors
Hey guys!
Anyone wanna help me get the Moments of Triumph achievement? I practically only need to to both raids and prison of elders on hard.... problem is, I don't have friends who play Destiny, and I can't do it alone
Aren't the raids more difficult this week with the changes?

Doesn't seem to be from my experience, but I don't know about Skolas, plus this is the last week to do it.
Anyone else notice on the app that there are progress bars under some of the exotic weapons and armour?
I equipped my Lucky Raspberry and used 15 motes of light and the progress bar went up but the light level didn't change.
What are those progress bars for? Have they always been there and I'm only just now seeing them?

I can help if you're on PS4.

You did it there by yourself with two randoms?

Skolas could be tougher without shotguns being amazing
But the Skolas fight itself shouldnt be much harder... its mostly about surviving and finishing the fight
VoG gatekeepers were more difficult. The rest seemed about the same. But I'm so used to being able to solo the gatekeepers with the Ghalli.
Didn't work. Mars required two of us.
4 rockets to kill the Gatekeeper on Mars.

I can help if you're up to it 2-3 hours from now.
Use undying mind. Randoms or not it's a cake walk.
Edit; I've done it with randoms and with friends. Undying mind gives you ample opportunity to generate enough orbs/kill enough majors and it encourages orb generation mechanics and super cycling for a fire team. It's a good idea.

More difficult how? The Int/Dis/Str nerfs are really annoying since your abilities charge a lot slower but otherwise not much different. Obviously Horn and shotty nerfs are very noticeable as well.
They also screwed w VoG which makes it more annoying but not really more difficult.
13Devs prefer pubstomping on PS4?
It's not something which will happen naturally. You kind of have to look for the opportunity to make it happen. But that's the whole point, otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge. It's tricky enough to not be something you'll do without noticing but not hard enough that you can get frustrated.
Undying mind steps, weaken 2 bunched up Minotaurs, 7 orbs. One more time, 7 orbs. Boss room majors spawn by the half dozen, you can get your third and final one there.
This quest provided a good lesson to casual players that 1. Orb generation is important and 2. You're not supposed to "save" your super, but rather use it throughout the strike and particularly against Majors

I didn't run VoG this week. What's different?
I noticed the GateKeepers on the bridge in Crota are teleported if they fall off the ledge now.

disagree, those bastards wouldnt stop killing my majors and would kill the boss right before the last wave was gonna hit.

I'm desperately trying to get more House of Judgment reputation so I can finally buy the shaders. I could help with Skolas. But I do already have the Triumph, so if someone else who doesn't have it wants the spot, please take it.

Or arc bolt nades! Oh.... wait

Crota's End is like doing it at release, Crota bugging out in so many ways once again. So yes, you could argue raids are harder now.

It's Brawler and Juggler, thank baby Jesus.
Honestly Skolas isn't much more difficult. Still entirely possible to burn him before second mines. I did it with one group that only had 2 Horns, sub-165 Light, and the non-Horn guy died when we started the burn. You just have to be more careful about getting his health right at 26% before starting.
The rounds before Skolas are definitely more annoying due to shotgun nerf, especially Round 4 which is super tedious now.
I've done it with both randoms and friends. Even with them killing majors as well there's so many on the stairs you shouldn't have a problem. Farming boss ads is trouble with randoms though

*whistles* I dunno what you're talking about man
Don't know about this tourney in particular but I know they've refrained from participating in earlier events of this sort when the "rules" get too restrictive.
Then again, that was at a time when ridiculous rules were being suggested (only one of each Exotic HC per team, banned perks on those guns etc).
Don't know about this one though.

Hawkmoon is still a 2 shot kill if both shots are head shots and at least one of the shots is lucky. Hawkmoon got a major buff in 2.0 in that you can tell if a shot is lucky or not. Now you can conceivably dump unlucky rounds. So me and a friend (and soon to be* DGAFfer, yergi) decided to do the math to see what's the probability of a 2sk with a fresh mag and if dumping a round or two made sense.
Here's what we got:
There's a decent chance that your first two shots can bring someone down right out the gate. Dumping one unlucky round doesn't really help that much, but dumping two unlucky rounds is decent. But the trade off is you're probably going to have to reload once or twice, because your first round alone is a 22% chance of luck.
Bottom line: dumping rounds in your Hawkmoon doesn't make a big difference.
* he's 3 weeks into his activation wait. haha.
** This was mostly a fun exercise, not attempting to be super-spikey here. The fact that the lucks can stack makes the calculations really complex.

Don't know if you know this but if you have any of the other tokens spare (ship, Class item) you can dismantle them for a small amount of Hjudgment rep.

That's kind of what I figured. I haven't done Skolas in months so I wasn't sure what the deal was. Definitely going to be tedious now that shotguns are mediocre.
