Most broken thing ever... still
It's bugged. It only shows in your actual inventory. Anywhere else like the vendors on Bnet it shows 0 for some reason.
It's a fake video. Guy just used one of those vault apps and sent over his TLW to his character.
The loot dropping has been so much better for me compared to pre-TTK. I'm at 287 right now I think and it's been a steady climb up. No frustration or walls yet. Loving it!
I'm not dismissing it may be an issue for others. Definitely sounds like a bug if mine has been so perfect.

cool, no prob.
way worse for me. was better when the expansions came out.
Got a 297 auto rifle that I used on my zhalos when running my NF last week with you, but yeah reading on people's experience I'm not motivated at all in running it this week.
Before TTK I was mainly doing them for the buff, but now that the loot table is even more diluted and that we don't get the buff anymore, screw that.

At the first of 2 layovers and for 3 hours. WiFi here is no bueno. I brought my Vita and 3ds and I can't play anything because TTK reasons. Halp
I've been using the FWC HC with firefly. I noticed my game crashing constantly when I do, and then today I see a reddit thread about it so i'm not the only one. Hopefully firefly isn't kinda bugged on Ace of Spades too.
I really like the FWC one, but yeah I am feeling the hand cannon nerfs. It is significantly less reliable to get a precision shot from a decent distance, which is dissapointing when you're expecting stuff to blow up. Not sure how the range of Ace of Spades compares.
Seems like hunter gets the best weapon from the gunsmith quest. The other two exotics don't seem to have great perks.
Who ever bought it should be able to access the "best" aspect IMO. Nonetheless I do not believe we will come to an agreement so its all good and I do respect your P.o.V
Yeah, let's agree to disagree because it's just opinions from the both of us.

On another note, tower ghost seemingly stopped functioning for me on the droid. It will not load my inventory. Thinking Touch of Malice broke it or something. Destiny without Tower Ghost is not the same.
What are some impressions on the Chaperone? Worth the effort for the quest?
Another note- Finally finished the story, such an improvement over vanilla it's not even funny. The last mission was great.

visiting Croats End again was freaking boss, also Eris is a bad ass
What is the damage for the final round for precision and body shot?
Someone spoiler tag me- what do people mean about "consuming shards" and getting annoyed with their resultant loot?
I thought I just noticed this as well. Looks like I need to free up some dang slots for Court to be safe
Painful >_<
lol! thanks a lot for finding a source. I had no idea where the idea was even coming from.
Until you kill yourself with the final round lol
Simple. Because one relies on months of RNG on numerous hours long raids, and the other is guaranteed after being carried for 45 minutes. Especially now when even the
power level of raid gear is RNG.
Nothing similar about that. Unless they totally revamp the rewards structure for ToO, which they probably will to some extent.
Yeah, noticed that range nerf GREATLY when using the vanguard hand cannon while working on the ace of spades quest.
It seems the range on this one is slightly better, but I need to use it in other situations than just the court to judge it properly.
The sniper is reaaaally good though, haven't left my slot ever since I got it.
Uh, I think it was 61? Give me a minute.
Yeah, it's too bad (or a good thing, depending on how you look at it) that it's so easy to get. EVERYONE will have one before long.

not that I found. you'll just have to wait a week like i did
it was heartbreaking realizing that was a requirement without any indication it was one.Sentinalprimus

If you have 20 mouldering shards it supposedly gives you an extra chance at loot when killing Oryx. It auto consumes 20 of then when you kill him. I'm mad because I only got two shards for killing him. Effectively losing 18 for no reason.

You can get Mouldering Shards from the raid bosses, chests, and Eris sells them. If you have at least 20 in your inventory upon beating Oryx you'll get "extra rewards". I heard some folks just got more Mouldering Shards as rewards. I have 20+ on me so we'll see what "extra reward" I'll get later.

You also get through the CoO quest by doing other people's runes, you don't have to buy/find your own and use them.

Any word on the 3 of coins Draksis exploit? Is it still working after weekly reset?
Knowledge is probable even more important than gear. Crota isn't easy because of our guns. It's because of positioning.
It's because from middle balcony the Boomers can't touch you. You don't need to move to spot the sword knight. You have the cleanest possible angle at Crota. You can support your sword guy easily if there's Cursed around the ledge.
All the shit that drove us nuts: boomers taking people away from your team since you needed designated snipers (remember discovering they were Majors on heroic?), not knowing where the hell sword knight went, it being too late because Crota was moving, people dying to boomer splash etc. didn't go away with our level. It went away with middle balcony
Templar can still be tricky if the team spreads out and kills all Oracles as intended but lositioning changed that. Group up on right side, forget the damn Oracles and just DPS. Add control is easier with everyone together, you all get cleansed in one go, and focus firing the boss goes super damn quick.
King's Fall will also, with time, get easier as we not only reach the activity level but also figure out what the best strategies are in terms of positioning. Crude templates already exist, but they'll no doubt be perfected. Example:
We were placing the Desthsinger protective bubble on the little ledge below the opposite Deathsinger's platform. Super crowded and the shooting angle was nearly vertical then we decided to put the bubble on the platform diagonal to the Deathsinger we would shoot (one of the platforms used to summon the floating rocks). Much bigger, had room for a WoL bubble, was farther away from where enemies spawn. Boom, instant success and difficulty nerf without any changes in gear.
then we decided to put the bubble on the platform diagonal to the Deathsinger we would shoot (one of the platforms used to summon the floating rocks). Much bigger, had room for a WoL bubble, was farther away from where enemies spawn. Boom, instant success and difficulty nerf without any changes in gear.I think we can. I just watched this: . Granted they make the encounter look easy, but now that I understand it a bit better it's totally doable. We had the DPS capibility for sure, just not the right strat. I still have the psn chat up so I'll see if everyone wants to give it another run sometime.

Anyone doing the NF? I'm on my lunch break, wanna see if I can knock it out real quick.

I wanna be in, I know most of the mechanics of the raid. Psn is dante316
If your Rune is charged by the time the encounter is done (it should be) you can also open the reward chest. Ray and Ruthless hopped on yesterday, charged theirs and all 3 of us opened the chest despite me being the one who triggered the event.
I like stillpiercer but ranking the gunsmith to 2 gave me a cool looking Omolon sniper with very similar stats, higher ATK, and luck in the chamber. I should use stillpiercer more. Perfectionist doesn't seem very useful to me though
When their shards redeemed? Does this mean 20 shards are automatically consumed whenever you beat Oryx?

A lot of valid points here.
Personally I always thought Atheon and Crota were very fun... but I always hated the cycles. At 34, Crota felt really fun. You only have to kill the gatekeeper twice, down him 4 times, and don't need to fight Ogres. This is when Crota felt the most fun. Similarly, Atheon is more fun when you only have to go through the portals about 3 times. Anymore than 4 is excessive.
As it stands, Oryx requires you to do 4 parts (Kind of 5). That's just enough to where its not annoying. And it changes over time. However the DPS checks are pretty insane. Alternatively, on my successful run, my team did have some deaths and we did recover every time.

All I Got from Oryx with over 20 shards was a hand canon and Scout Rifle. Someone else in my team got more with under 20 shards.
It wrecks. But it takes some getting used to and more care and thought than your average gun. It is definitely not fire and forget. Used properly you never have to reload and it does a ton of damage. What's not to like?

Yesyerday I had 20 Moldering Shards upon beating Oryx. I got The handcannon, the pulse, and the fusion. My Modering Shards were consumed.
