[Afrocious]

Running around the moon with two brand new players

More like mfw dropping destiny before the first DLC and coming back bouta week ago

found an answer to my own question..there is none and I'm fucked with my new char ;_;

didn't see your post! i'd help but i dont have new alts atm. Some folks in this thread do though.

 

[Trickster]

Ignore the extra zero, 170 sounds right, I was definitely below it though

Damn, I was hoping I could get boosted hardcore by someone

Guess it doesn't really matter when any gear I find this week would be shit by the same time next week

 

[BokehKing]

Bah shame. Anyway I think I added you on XB1 if you have the same name lol.

I switch back and forth between ps4 and x1

Gt= doc vape

I'll be leveling in crucible this weekend on there

My ps4 dudes are 34 already

 

[Hawkian]

Wow, that's kind of shitty. I don't drop it to solo, but it's a valid tactic if a couple of people go down and you have one more run through the portals to drop the relic and help the other guy going through while the third guy just runs out to help with harpies (or the guy that was marked for teleport goes down and he only sends two). Trying to smash the O's with the relic always leads to me flying off of the map.

So what actually happens when you drop it? Is it just an instant wipe from Curse of the Aegis?

Anyway, get a little higher than the Oracle you're trying to hit before hitting the melee and you can usually smack them good, use the melee again if you bounce off to control your momentum. The relic super can also one-shot an oracle.

Can you still drop the sword to blink strike Crota?

yep

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Sorry, I worded that poorly. As Drizz later elaborated, dropping the Relic now resets the cooldowns on your Super and Grenade (cleanse in this case). This means dropping the Relic is a super tricky proposition in case Oracles aren't killed, since you'll likely not have recovered your cleanse in time.

That pretty much narrows the scenarios where you can drop it to zero. I guess you could cleanse and then hope everyone makes it out before needing a cleanse again. Doubtful that everyone makes it to the center island without stopping to cleanse right outside of the portal.

 

[Kadey]

Last night I noticed Super Good Advice was running out of ammo on oracles.

They nerfed SGA?! Is there no end to this madness?

 

[matmanx1]

I want a titan exotic that lets me move my bubble around. Like I'm a gerbil in a plastic ball.

This would be more appealing if the Warlock Nova Bomb didn't immediately pop your bubble.

The Gunsmith field test requiring Sniping in Crucible was the most difficult field test bounty to complete... granted that I am not a sniper

I actually found the sniper easier than the fusion rifle despite never really using them in crucible before. The fusion rifle had such a slow charge time that I was getting shotgunned half the time I tried to use it. The sniper was just stand at the back and wait for someone's head to show. I missed a bunch of shots but I didn't die much.

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

Pretty much. Yellow bar enemies and bosses were terrible bullet sponges. The shotgun nerf is a little too far in the wrong direction. I hope they bring them back up another 15 - 20% and I wouldn't be opposed to a further range nerf in PVP. I still got 1 shotted by felwinter's lie last night at what felt like ridiculous range.

This means dropping the Relic is a super tricky proposition in case Oracles aren't killed, since you'll likely not have recovered your cleanse in time.

But time's vengeance immediately refills both. So actually the scenario Hudson is talking about it wholly unaffected, since it's a last ditch attempt to get the Oracles killed in the first place versus wiping anyways.

That pretty much narrows the scenarios where you can drop it to zero. I guess you could cleanse and then hope everyone makes it out before needing a cleanse again. Doubtful that everyone makes it to the center island without stopping to cleanse right outside of the portal.

Unless I'm missing something, once you kill the last Oracle it doesn't matter because of Time's Vengeance.

It's not a good idea to cleanse outside the portal on the way to the center anyway though, just cleanse a second time when 2 or 3 Oracles remain (I usually have the Oracle killers come to the "circular plate" looking thing for this). Then you (with the relic) can leave before Time's Vengeance activates and get as close to a full 30 seconds of damage on Atheon as possible.

Last night I noticed Super Good Advice was running out of ammo on oracles.

It always ran out eventually, but so you mean every shot was registering as a hit and depleting ammo?

If so, RIP SGA. The only scenario where, despite not being optimal even there, we used you anyways.

Is there any reason for me to bother to get to max light before TTK? I was at light 33 before the 2.0 patch because I basically skipped the latest DLC.

 

[Afrocious]

stop talking about VoG. you're making me think bungie changed it and how i cant just walk in and do it without someone explaining it to me

let me live in ignorance like nothing has happened at all.

Does TV effect you inside the portals? I thought you had to be outside for some reason.

As to your edit...sure, in a perfect world. I'm talking about shit going down and getting a chance to stop and take a breath and cleanse before going out into a mine field of harpies.

 

[Hawkian]

Right, yeah Templar and Gatekeepers can't be soloed I guess.

Does TV effect you inside the portals? I thought you had to be outside for some reason.

Certainly, but as I mentioned above you don't want to be in the Portal (if you're the relic holder) when it activates anyway.

 

[LTWood12]

Can you level up duplicate test weapons in a given week to farm rep?

 

[purg3]

Vex kicks ass in crucible.... For me... Going to test out Atheons Epilogue now.

Some people were saying it's surprisingly good lol.

 

[mehrmantrout]

damn you bungie for not dropping Year 2 Packages this week for repping Vanguard, Crucible or Faction.. damn you!!

I had everything set up for TTK, but this buffer week still drops Year 1 packages and my characters are like non-playable because I don't to mistakenly bump them over the rep level until it is really Year 2,

i want Year 2 packages

Same here, my warlock and hunter can't do anything bar raids. I'm feeling destiny burnout anyway so a bit of a break should do me good

Edit it's that bad I couldn't even solo the abyss earlier, despite doing it 100s of times

 

[Strider]

Just bought TTK. Rockin that ps4 theme now.

All day at work I couldn't wait to get home to play. It's like launch again O_O

I was playing Rift while doing the the Fusion test bounty, everyone was running like headless chickens in close quarters, got it out of the way in two matches.

Mayhem is fun. Feels like one of those modes I don't have be pissed that I lost because it's just mindless fun. I want to try this mode with the new subclasses.

 

[Lee]

Certainly, but as I mentioned above you don't want to be in the Portal (if you're the relic holder) when it activates anyway.

Could Gatekeepers ever be soloed? Templar could be swatted and supered I guess. Probably wouldn't kill him before enrage. Maybe with a high enough light/defense level it could still be soloed but why go through the trouble?

 

[Afrocious]

thank you jesu

let me tell you about a time when people had gjallarhorns and wiped raids b/c they killed the gatekeepers too fast.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

No, I checked last night. The weapons are greyed out when you go back to the gunsmith

 

[Ambitious]

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.

Of course. As I said, if there's anyone that needs to do Skolas for whatever reason (triumph, chest, armor/weapon core), they can have my spot. Otherwise.. is this still happening? I'll be around for about two more hours.

Haha. Trust me I've been there:
Vault of Glass
Level 26 Completions: 25

Vault of Glass
Level 30 Completions: 47

Just don't think Gatekeepers was ever solo-able due to the portals, but I remember videos of titans soloing Atheon by jumping outside of his teleporting range so maybe I missed some Gatekeeper shenanigans.

Sorry Last Word, but I'm moving on.

On another note, I need a new headset BAD. I sound like i'm playing in an underground tunnel. I can deal with a broken headset, but that sound quality is trash.

Does it sound like that on stream? Unacceptable!
