If this was still Year One, I would be full-on for Team Cheese, but since it seems like all or nearly all exotics can be earned through quests and "smart loot" seems to actually be smart this time, I'm leaning more toward Team Earned.

How long did it take for Crota's End to be beaten the first time?

Of course it will still work on strikes. The coin increases chances of exotic for boss kills. All the cheese is doing is making it rapidly repeatable without running an entire strike for that dice roll.
Interesting. 7 coins per kill is just too rich for my blood but I do hope someone puts some data together.
Altering the drop rate would be a poor solution IMO.awwMe too but, to be fair, there is a reason they are top streamers. They can be obnoxious, but they've stayed really positive and persistent. I have a slow day at work and have been streaming since 10. Datto's stream, which I've checked out a few times, is super negative. Yelling at teammates for mistakes. The Planet Destiny stream got boring, to be honest, and they weren't willing to commit to new things to figure them out. Just kind of stopped and read people's spoilers in the chat from other streams. Broman and Goth are really smashing their heads into the wall and staying positive.

Agreed, they should just put a 15 minute cooldown on the 3 of Coins
positive stubbornness is a good motivator. I'll take that with me tonight when I do the raid
Wait does Hawkmoon Year 2 really only have 11? Year 1 says 11 in the stat screen but it's still 13.
HOWEVER, this is a huge buff either way: you can tell when you fire a bonus shot now.
If you have fired all 3, reload immediately.
If you have fired 2 (which can potentially be all three without you knowing it, 2 can stack), and still have 7 or more (5 or more if it's really 11) rounds remaining in the mag, reload immediately.
Your total percentage of bonus shots will be much higher than it was before the 2.0 patch
Yeah, they should either just add a cooldown, or make it not work on story bosses. Lowering the odds just penalizes the vast majority of players who don't have enormous stockpiles of Strange Coins. Ideally they should probably just remove it working from Story bosses, would likely further incentivize people doing the strike playlists since with would work well in conjunction with the strike streak bonus or whatever that is. If they add a timer people are just going to idle. I'm not this serious about it, but if they just add say at 5 minute timer I'm just going to idle in orbit while doing something on my PC etc. They can't/shouldn't have a timer more than 5 minutes because you can clear the easy low level strikes like Nexus Mind at around 6-7 minutes, so you'd be penalizing that. Just removing the ability for it to work on story bosses seems to be the best option IMO.

Yeah, a cooldown should trigger after each kill. That way you can still stack. They should make the cooldown just under the average time to complete a strike so you can use them on strikes, probably as intended.

Someone Pm me an explanation of the first boss encounter. We mostly understand but seem to be missing something.
I've actually taken to watching ProfessorBroman's brother, Teawrex, if I need a Destiny stream fix. He's far more mellow and far less gimmicky than Broman or Goth. Thing is with today's stream, they're obviously all raiding together so you'll hear everyone in a single stream regardless.
Damn, missed you all day. I'll be back in a few hours if you want to get a raid group together. Chapel and folks aren't starting until 10 pacific and fuck that.
And yeah I had way better luck with Exotic Engrams from Scourge of Winter than running heroic strikes and popping coins each boss.
Someone needs to stand at each of the totems to the side. They will get a shield that lasts like 30 seconds. At the end of that timer, they give the shield to whoever is closest (think Skolas fight). The others can be in the center on the plate spawning adds until the boss comes. So, people need to stay on the center plate and each of the totems as much as possible, and whoever has the countdown needs to call out so someone can come meet them to take the shield. You might need to alternate who takes the shield, I can't remember. Tell me if I'm wrong, I watched two stream teams do it and that seemed to be everything.
Make it 10 minutes then. By the time you get to the Nexus again you can pop another.
Right now, the Three of Coins is a viable tool even for solo players who don't want to do strikes. I think that's a count in its favor. Furthermore with your solution, coordinated fireteams could still do this cheese on Strike bosses, in effect just restricting the benefits to a smaller subset of players. The current rate of being able to consume the buff for a dice roll is the problem.

Can someone tell me how to know which is the right
first boss question
glyph sequence?
Works fine on the Year 1 version- it has an actual mag of 13. I haven't held a Year 2 one yet so I don't know if it's the case or not for that :<Holding Aces perk is supposed to add 2 to the magazine. I think it's glitched.
If that really works and it's supposed to work like that, the cooldown just needs to start upon consuming the buff (ultra kill) versus using the item.

Same thing happened to me, I got four stags, three of them in a row, odd how I also got third man and knucklehead.

I know you think your Raid is super cool, but I have some REAL work to do here.
I feel like I´m not making progress anymore. Most of you moved way past me and almost every quest I have to do is too hard to solo.
Here´s what I have to do:
Who is roughly in the same spot and wants to play catch-up with me?
I´m game NOW

I have a year 2 Hawkmoon and it has 13 in the magazine.
Just maxed out my Hawkmoon 2.0 and it's 13 in the mag.
Maybe the other gun didn't max his yet?

FYI, that's what the losing team is thinking too. No one's there to prove their mettle lmao
