Is daily heroic too hard for 270 Hunter? If not I can join up whoever is doing it.

No, normally in the mission at the end you have to run outside clearing 3 doorways using orbs. This is after you kill the ogre, grab a shard, and have to run out while taken chase you. You did this in normal for story mode, getting a chunk of the crystal holding Crota's Soul so you could enter the portal on the dreadnaught.
For the black spindle, at the 3d door you do NOT orb open it but instead run right and go towards the tanicks strike area. There are a new set of mobs and a boss in the tanicks ketch (ship) area instead now. A 10 minute timer starts when you open the door to the first room (there are 3) and you have to kill the boss and all his adds in the final room inside those 10 minutes or you get sent to orbit and fail. If you clear everything you get the sniper rifle (guaranteed) and a chance at the ship. The second you open the door to the first room on the ketch you get a 10 minute timer on your screen.
The last room is insanely hard, just tons and tons of taken including a few elites and they respawn constantly while the boss is up. A group of us, 3 295s, made it with just 22 secs left after 4-5 retries. Every time you fail you have to start all over again.
I am curious if you can get a 2nd and 3d on alts, that would be an insane way to get infuse mats.
Just watch? Gonna go ahead and describe this as straight nonsense, because
Oryx can certainly be defeated without a single person in the fireteam having one, because the spot you attack him on in the fight doesn't count as a crit, because the majority of damage to him is not done with weaponry at all, because it occupies an Exotic slot that might will be better served by a utility exotic (one of the primaries that charges your super, in my case Monte Carlo to replenish Vanish in Smoke, hell we haven't even seen Sleeper Simulant), because the raid sniper with Cocoon is perfect for the fight, and because, well, it's dumb to think requiring a specific weapon for Oryx will make the fight any easier on a group. It's fair to say "you need a leveled up sniper" but that's about it.
This thing will mostly be useful for the same scenarios in which the original Black Hammer excelled. Stationary strike bosses, walkers, tanks. Much better for the
Warpriest

Can't wait to try this during lunch...you know just in case Bungie idiotically sees this awesome secret mission win as a "loss" and patches it for got knows what reason. Let the good times roll.
Fewer people will be left out if they have two other high level friends that can help them, sure.
Bungie hated the ghorn. But what they've done here is make a weapon so powerful that it will be a requirement for anyone looking to join the Oryx raid from this point on. At least with random groups. Which I don't think they were wanting either.
Oh man, my family just surprised me with a PS4! Now all I have to do is save up for PS+ and the Legendary Edition. It sucks that I have to buy it all over again, but I feel like it will be much easier to look for a group. Plus waiting for my inventory to load won't take a long ass time.
Thank you.

We killed the boss but didnt manage to kill the adds
Took our group 3 tries before we got it. Adds seems like they should be the focus. If you end up having to many mobs like fallen captains and cabal taken, they you just can't do shit.

for science
can't get more than 1 black spindle per character
can't get more than 1 black spindle per character
Moving the goalposts, first it was "required for ALL Oryx runs" now it's "maybe it's not so much useful for Oryx himself" :-/
damnit man. this is frankly, one of the coolest things to come out of TTK so far and I'm saying that as someone clearly judging the weapon to be quite a bit LESS powerful than you. Get on board! lol
I saw a group complete the raid in 45 minutes before this gun was even found. I'm sure this gun will be good, but why is it required? Wouldn't any 300 dmg sniper with some synths be pretty good too?

I'm not even talking about Oyrx. I've beaten him just fine already. Machine guns much more important there, IMO.Just watch?

kinda seems like you're the one that didn't think about it too much
But for literally every other boss in the raid, I see this being required. And by that I mean, by the same people who "require" players with 295+ light with "experience" in the first week. It's going to make things worse for a lot of people.
Oryx? I was speaking about the entire raid. Not Oryx itself. Not moving goalposts at all.

The daily mission is just not fun. The taken aren't fun to fight against when Psions can multiply without limits and everyone has shields.
You can say it is difficult but difficult does not mean fun . . there is no counter to the Fallen captain big ball of darkness and it is entirely too big and fast. . I don't know how casual Destiny players will handle more difficult content. Difficult. Not fun.

Worded it a bit wrong, only completed it once and got the ship and gun at same time

But unlike Gjallarhorn, this one is 100% achieveable. And raiding is only if you want difficult content, which this is. I think it's fine.
That said for the first 3 bosses, a 310 sniper that doesn't need to reload is going to be devastating.
I got room, arekusu77 PSN
Would like to try this evening. Tag is DX

How are people beating this? Read something about using the old gjallarhorn, are people really using that?

Clear the first and second wave of adds as quick as possible. I noticed that the third wave doesn't contain Cabals and big Hives.

This fight is fucking hard and you need to get a bunch of things right for it to work.
You need to have all 3 burn types in your damage somehow.
You need to sync your heavy packs so you can use multiple in the last room.
You need to chain supers.
You need to give priority to the adds, not the boss.
You need to stay alive.
You need to have a good dps.
It's hell. I got close twice but fuck....

Damn.
Hardest.
Daily.
Ever.
Took us nearly 4 (FOUR!) hours to get this, and countless tries.
The strategy seems to really be about chaining supers and taking care of those big orbs ASAP. Protip, there's a one spawning just in front of the entrance corridor where the majority of the fight will take place, which is a bit hidden.
Winning run was with a nightstalker, a sunbreaker, and a solar warlock.
I saved the video in case anyone is interested.
It really felt like a mini-raid or something. ^^
Thanks to Math for those 2 tries before work, sorry we couldn't make it with you, and thanks whoever you are MiniMe637 for successfuly filling up that last slot.
Phew.
I'm exhausted.
Oh, also got the ugly ship. ^^
[EDIT]
Hahaha, and it only took the time for me to write this post while in the tower to get a first message from a random asking me where I got my exotic sniper rifle.
