So despite having done most of the Raid, being 294 light etc I'd been really focused on knocking out all of the Quests and stuff and I actually hadn't done a single Dreadnaught Patrol, so I only vaugely knew what was up with the CoO stuff.

IT'S FUCKING AWESOME

I rolled over there by accident following markers for my first patrol mission, there was 5 dudes already there and we did I think a tier 2 rune once then three tier 3 runes. Fucking rad. I still don't really understand all of the various rune stuff and I'll need to read up on this, but it was fucking great. I got the second half of the medallion or whatever from doing it which I think I needed to unlock the actual CoO questline from Eris for the artifact right?

Court of Oryx is so good. It's great to hop in there and do however much of it as you'd like. You can grind it out for an hour or you can just do one or two events and then do something else. CoO is what PoE should've been.

I love it. When I first saw it there was a group of guys battlin' and I just joined in and they just kept feeding it runes. I died a lot but it was a lot of fun, like doing public events without searching, or finding one and noone being around.
 
I saw an lfg post the other day where it was something like

"Looking for raid, light 278. Pls have max gally"

I don't think this kid got the memo...

It's great but there should be an easier way to spawn over there.

And Rob, I have no idea how long the raid is. Last week was all progress raids, so it took many hours to learn the encounter. Not sure how long it would take now that the strats are known. I would guess 2 hours?

Anywhere from 1 hour to 34907230472309457234052347502347503497502394752034572349085234095876234590623450923486502349856230498562349058632409630928562340985634958-623458963245896234-58961-5986124-589621569-821589125-928165289156201985621-95862159062109562190582619052617904236149023614 years

PROTIP: The Tier 3 Court changed! If you do it, you'll get a Fragment!

Come on Zoba, help me kill this dude so I can get this gun and make you feel bad.

LT rocking that tower guard mark. Mark bros *fist bump*

Got it from the Nightfall last night. Dropped at 298 say whaaaaaaaat

All this DO scout hype has me wondering if I shouldn't buy it instead of the 1,000 yard stare first. I've got a 291 blue sniper. Help me gaf.
 
There's so much I can do with my two friends tonight:

  • Daily mission (for marks)
  • Normal Strikes (speed farming for loot)
  • Heroic Strikes (for quest)
  • Nightfall (for quest)
  • Tier 1, 2 & 3 of CoO (for quest)
  • Taken Earth quest
  • Taken Petra quest

The one downside to questification is that we're all on different steps, and you don't get credit for doing things out of order. This is especially painful during the Taken Wars stuff that is very, very difficult to solo, yet has no matchmaking. But still that list is impressive. Hello, Year Two Reset Day!

For real though, about to do Fear's Embrace, which is the final story mission for The Taken War and the Hunger Pangs questline. I can take two.

I was gonna say Hunters are the sexy animals in the Guardian Kingdom, but I can't really argue with someone who's SEXY ELITE, now can I?


PS. I don't think animals are sexy...I want that known...


Damn, I really wanted that Hung Jury Scout Rifle from Dead Orbit because of its reload speed, but I spent all mah marks on these grips (I was sick of getting things with feathers on them, gross!) and infusing like crazy.
Now that I see so many people praising it I kinda wish I just lived with the feathers...
