We did it. Fuck you and your whole family Oryx.

Thanks to Jigga and Mindlog for the help. Everybody for the group effort throughout the whole thing. Going to need like 20 Red Bulls to stay awake.

glad to see you guys got him, but no way in hell can I stay up until 4AM playing Destiny...well, on Sundays at least.

Hoping I can find a group for him tonight but whatever happens, happens. I still need to do the part of the raid before the first boss too, but whatever. I can live without a moldering shard and some strange coins.

 

[Victrix]

I'm just glad I got the Chaperone, Ace of Spades, and Exotic Sword quests done, those were the tough ones.

I'm too clever for you, I waited to pick a legendary sword so I could get the exotic with the coolest special attack!

... then I remembered I have three characters who can get it, so I can get all three, and because of the way the quest works I'll have to wait another week for armsday just to get my first one due to delaying picking one this long.

Too clever by half.

I also didn't place my last armsday order in time because I didn't know or check that you can't place orders later in the week. I'm on a roll.

My fireteam across another fireteam consisting of 290+ last night, completely randomly, we played Court of Oryx together with them for a good hour or so, across all three tiers and it was most fun I've had on a game in a long time.

Two fire teams in court of Oryx is ridiculously fun as it's full carnage.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Anyone starting a fresh raid this morning?

 

[Blue Ninja]

Guys, help me out. I've got two helmets here, once with Infusion and one with Better Already.

We all know Infusion, it regenerates health upon Orb pickup. Better Already starts shield regen immediately upon picking up Orbs. What's the main difference, really? Because I infinitely prefer the look of the helm with Better Already.

No worries, I will wait for you

Oops, wrong CP. I thought it was

[Raybunny]

"Javi what the hell killed you?"
"Uhhh I kept shooting, wanted to land an extra shot again"

Malice will happen. That's ok bunny we'll get the rest of the fragments. And seriously go Rumble with an amo-less sword, it's hilarious.

AHAH sounds like something that will happen. Regarding Rumble I will do that as soon as I get home ( 20 mins before you +/-)

Agreed.

Court of Oryx is like the complete opposite of PoE in terms of rewarding players for their time. Sure the number of bosses are very limited and it may be repetitive but it's still worthwhile since the loot keeps dropping. I just wish there was an easier way to get more than 3 people in the same instance.

It was just mad, the loot is fantastic though. Such a clever thing they've done with it

Top Scores from my friends list (tons of GAFers in this pool, but obviously not all so a few of you pro mode players might be missing)

Control: Falifax (10,315)
Clash: TwilightGap (5,565)
Rumble: 6 way tie at (2,720)
Skirmish: Clutch_Wayzz (4,585) *ultra props
Salvage: Wicked (6,965)
Rift: Semedi (12,695)

I'm a bit surprised to see the top Control score and the top Rift score be this close. Hot damn you guys are amazingly good at this game

For some reason, joining with alts does not save the CP..maybe bungie patched that for this raid ?

 

[Zoidberg]

Court is great fun, been here with 2 randoms for about 45 minutes and done all 3. Tier 3 with 3 people is intense.

 

[Lnkn52]

These crazy looking exotics tied to Quests are amazing. That Malice though, cool looking gun and perk.

I'm really happy about the exotic quests, less RNG more earning is a good thing.

Some of those quests are very frustrating though... especially Chaperone and Exotic Sword ones.

Can anyone confirm if checkpoint saving still works for kings fall? Was going to try at reset tomorrow but don't want to waste time if it no longer works

 

[Tovarisc]

Anyone have checkpoint

after 1st boss, in labyrinth?

Tough quests >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> garbage rng that locks you out of fun exotic weapons for literally an entire year

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I tried the Arena for the first time today, I got insane drops of Legendary weapons/armour as well as Truth, my first exotic weapon.

I think I'll have to play this more.

We haven't been able to test.

I hope our resident checkpoint campers manage to keep the first loot-awarding checkpoint for tomorrow. I wanna run a fresh raid of course, but next week running alts will be a possibility for a lot more people and checkpoint sharing will help alt progression move along more quickly.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

I have yet to do it but i want in.

That's two!

Personally I'd love a vet,or three, with some patience to come along so we could do it partially blind but have someone to fall back on if we hit a wall with progress.

2. Silver

Spoiler the reply if it's a secret but are there checkpoints in the new Raid we can share that have a loot chests without killing a boss/clearing a phase? Like the Gorgon checkpoint in the Vault.

I think WP dropped Rocket Launcher for Fali. I am not 100% but I think it was Gor who dropped my chest piece.

Ok thanks!

Golgoroth dropped Chestpiece for me.

Thanks guys. So I reckon Warpriest drops Rocket launcher and the priests drop fusion and shotty?

Yeah so far I have not been able to get it to work, tried all 3 characters. Seems you need to start the raid from the beginning to get CP?

 

[Blablurn]

What do I need to do to become a member of the GAF Clan? Or is it limited?

Started the game this week. I'm pretty surprised how fun it is

 

[nOoblet16]

I'd say we keep it until the reset.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

When do you plan to start?

As soon as we have six. Unless that happens in five minutes...my wife hasn't quite left yet.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Looking for 3 or 4 people to do raid fresh to get first fragment. Only fragment run or up until first chest.

Saying "there is a boss called Golgoroth" in Destiny is the same as saying "There is a character called "Keyser Soze" In "The Usual Suspects".

 

[TheCanisDirus]

I've never done it before, so if you and the lady friend plan on giving VoG a go, I would be more than happy to jump in and join you both!

We would be happy to have you and anyone else wanting to join! I'll def post in here letting everyone know with at least a day notice... MIGHT actually try and run one tomorrow after work. Will let people know!

 

[JTripper]

Anyone else at Oryx? I think most people who wanted to be beat him before reset have done it. Today's the day to beat him and I wanna get the hell out of this Oryx pit!

 

[Arrrammis]

All of the mechanics/story stuff is still spoilered, but it seems like everything is slowly becoming unspoilered, like boss names and drops.
