Raid group disbanded so I found a new one and we got him after three really solid attempts.
It was INSANELY close though! Enrage hit and he was on a sliver and I was just sniping blind where his stomach used to be then it popped and we got our drops :D

Kinda funny that all the marketing schtick centers on how Oryx is coming for you because he's super angry about you killing his son given the lore present in the book of sorrow. Doesn't exactly jive with the Hive philosophy presented there.

Also, I'd recommend reading through the book of sorrow BEFORE doing the content, rather than after. It's nice context, not spoiler material.

I just obtained Red Death from Master Rahool during a quest chain after the Gunsmith gave me Heavy Ammo Synthesis.

Was this random?

So after about 30mins of exploiting for Exotics, I have:
- Zhalo Supercell (Auto Rifle)
- Jade Rabbit (Scout Rifle)
- Hereafter (Sniper Rifle)
- Monte Carlo (Year 2)
- The Last Word (Year 2)
- Heart of Praxic Fire (Year 2)
- Starfire Protocol (Year 2)
- Crest of Alpha Lupi (Year 2)

Good haul I'd say.

love on your sleeve
that whole vanguard streak thing kinda seems like it does nothing.

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on that. Reminds me of the "Blues have a higher chance of decrypting into Legendaries" lie from Year 1.

I have to say, the swords are bringing out the stupid in people. Stop trying to melee kill bosses god dammit.

Where my new Fatebringers, Black Hammers, and Visions at? This raid loot rad or what?
The new bh seems to be the exotic sniper hereafter, I think. Fatebringer lives on in a few hcs with firefly but specially the imago loop. I don't know of a good voc stand in though

Edit: I don't know a thing about the raid loot lol
4 or 5 strikes in a row and just getting 2-3 mediocre blues each time :(
Just blue pieces outright or blue engrams? Cause an engrams an engram

I went to the "missing quests" panel in the tower, and there was the level 2 quest to obtain the warp drive.

Hmm? I already did that a very long time ago.
 
Massive vault and alt character clean up complete. Feels so good having a nice clean vault and my Titan is now filthy rich in pretty much every currency.

My group disbanded. :( Really disappointed we didn't finish it, but after 11 hours, it's time to just leave it.
Got a sniper rifle, Ghost shell and a chestpiece so that's pretty good.

Really liked the first encounter with the totems and such, also liked the Warpriest battle. Not a fan of the Golgoroth battle. It's too much bullet sponge, not enough mechanics. Deathsingers was a pretty good fight, too. Can't say much about the Oryx battle since I didn't complete it, but it is the most epic thing in the game.
Not sure if I like the Gatekeeper section of VoG better or Warpriest/Deathsingers from Kings Fall.

Is anyone doing regular Vanguard strikes or PVP tonight? I'll be happy to join. If not, probably just do more chest farming to complete Shaxx quest. Need 11 more.

Nice haul. Damn I want that Zhalo Supercell. I already got Jade Rabbit + Telesto though. I should probably just leave it alone but I doubt I can let it go. Also need a year 2 Last Word and Suros...
