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.

Yeah, I knew this already. I've dismantled all but five (for the shaders). I still need ~1700 more rep, which is why I've been asking for someone to play PoE 34 for two days now.
 
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.


Is this some kind of "see for yourself" surprise? I've seen changes mentioned, but no-one goes into detail.

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.
Link to bracket?

Nghtly only has one lvl 21 Hunter on Xbox

PS4 Tournament Bracket $800 prize to first place team and $100 for MVP. Lots of competitive players are in it. Even Gabe and Poshy

The gunslinger was pretty easy to do, took me maybe 30min.

The titan and warlock ones though, DEAR GOD!

I did the subclass quests easily on my Hunter, but when i saw the requirements for the Titan I said "Nope". It's crazy how much more difficult the requirements on the other classes are, whilst on my Hunter I managed to do the kill 3 majors in a strike step on both my Gunslinger AND Bladedancer in a single run of Omnigul. I started with Blade and then half way through I was done and switched to Gunslinger lol

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.

What did people do with shotguns pre-pve nerf? You guys just shot the fuck to death or something?

I used my icebreaker on him because I didn't have any Heavy Synth because I'm a huge scrub obv

I only left 2 postmaster slots open as I figured I'll get 4 Vanguard commendations stacked and 4 Crucible commendations stacked.

Are they really going to be individual, taking up 8 slots.

They definitely screwed up with the shotgun nerf, guess maybe they want us to use swords now.

Shotgun all the majors. Bubble blind the VIP target in Round 4 and go crazy with shotguns to bring him down in like a second.
 
Does anybody know why 13Devs wont be competing in Armsday tourney, today? I dont see their names in the bracket.

I've heard a few times now that nobody will play them, so I assume if they ever signed up for a tournament, everyone else would forfeit and cry for their moms or whatever.

What I have been wondering and never found reassuring answer, so I played it safe and left 8 open.

Dude while you were gone Majors became meaningless. Red bar and yellow bar = one and the same, 1-2s with your shotgun. It was dumb.

For Skolas it's super noticeable though because, being a level below the content, OP shotguns let us engage enemies without too much danger.

Nah TripleWreck, Poshy, Gabe, WYL, WAR, etc would all have no problems playing 13Devs I bet... Although maybe you are being sarcastic...

I mean, if all three players have good shotguns this still works perfectly well. Specialist isn't meaningless. It's the tons of melee and shrapnel launcher captains throughout the rest of the waves, when you aren't all focusing fire with the protection of a blinding bubble that makes it more tedious.

That makes sense. Haven't tried Skolas since the patch hit. I'm guessing there will be a flood of people this weekend looking to do it at the last minute, though, so I'll be around to help out.
 
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.

Yeah I'm happy to do runs w non-first timers, although I'd still like to have at least one newbie per run.

For awhile there were so many people asking I only did double newbie runs but things seemed to have slowed down a bit. Honestly Skolas is probably the only thing I'll bother playing this week, kinda bummed on the 2.0 changes and just waiting for TTK.

Is the tournament stream anywhere?
Where is it going to be broadcast?
I know WYL will be streaming. Pretty sure most if not all the other players will be too.
Is there a tournament page with rules etc?
From what I've heard, its standard sweaty rules, but they'll be playing control. Posted on Aug 31st

Lol thats what I heard too :p
 
OK I retract my earlier statement about the armsday snipers. Both are fine. I just was sniping poorly last time I used them. Just went 10-0 using the Hakke sniper and the Word of Crota on a Salvage match. Got mercy ruled ;p

So what's the deal with Commendation Packages? We need 8 slots empty on the 20 slot postmaster to get them mailed or they are lost?

Do we even know if this is necessary? I wouldn't be surprised if the commendation packages will show up as special orders, which should get their own set of 20 slots outside of the 20 Postmaster and Lost items slots.

We're in this weird state this week where the weapon archetype and perk changes have been applied but we don't have access to any of the new weapons.

The changes were made to "balance" the all the weapons and make us want to use the new weapons... but we don't have them yet so...

whos all these teams. I havnt heard of alot them before
Most of the people we hear of formed their own teams. I think Triple is playing on Lumi's team (BSK). I know Geb, Poshy, and Srahb are playing with WYL on "Double Neg". Nemesis is well known. I haven't seen the complete roster for each team but for $800 you can bank on good players showing up.
