Is the Tier 3 CoO always the same fight?
I'm down for stuff in about 30min if that's cool
The last part of the chaperone quest line requires you to wait for weekly reset. So try to get it done by Monday and not on a Wednesday.

Looking for the Taken Champions in the cosmodrome if anyone wants to join
Looks like it. Did 4 altogether in the past two days. Same fight.

Patrols seem to be a good way to get glimmer now. And of course they provide rep as well.

BTW how do you get strange coins now?

Patrols, engrams, Faction Packages
Okay first off, "Draksis" isn't being patched.gutter_trash said:
I dunno why but it totally bugs me when it seems like people are just following the instructions given for doing a trick to get a reward without actually understanding what makes it work.
Draksis is just an ultra boss. Basically a yellow-bar enemy with a unique name. There's nothing particularly special about him with regard to 3oC except that he's in an easy mission with a checkpoint right by him. If anything about Draksis is patched rather than the mechanism of the Three of Coins, everyone will just find another easily spammable boss and grind there instead. People were already doing it with the Gate Lord beforehand, etc. They work on named bosses out on Patrol like the Taken Champions, the bosses that pop out of Blight missions sometimes, the unique VIP enemies (Troll Patrol), named story bosses and minibosses, etc.
Second, "working as intended" is maybe a liiiitle misleading? It is technically correct (the best kind of correct), but they certainly aren't being used as intended. It's extremely obvious to me, and should be to anyone if you just think about how they work for a second, that Bungie never intended players to use coins on multiple loot rolls per minute to maximize their chances of getting ten, twenty or more exotics over the course of an hour of play. It's their fault for not designing around it, no doubt about it. Have at it while it's around if you have no qualms about this kind of thing, sure. But it's just super obvious that it's not intended.
Bleh, please no
One of the best things about the 3oC for me is that they work on bosses as varied as named bosses that pop up in patrol or Vanilla story missions on earth. The chance that an exotic engram could pop out of one of them is exciting and fun and good for the game. It also makes exotic hunting versus buying (with the same healthy dose of randomness as always) a viable option for solo players when doing patrols, their daily story, etc. When you're trying to correct abuse of an in-game mechanic you have to weigh the solution against the side effects it would have on legitimate users and that one would suck hard.
Furthermore, your solution just literally moves the problem from one person detonating himself along with a story boss to a fireteam detonating themselves along with a strike boss. The exact "checkpoint abuse" you're talking about being unintended would remain exactly as effective!
The entire problem is the rate at which the chances can be consumed and thus go through huge stacks of coins in one spot during what would otherwise be hours of gameplay throughout the game. That's all that needs to be addressed. If there's a 10 minute cooldown and someone literally still wants to go to Draksis, kill themselves to repeat, wait 9 minutes and 45 seconds, and do it again- at that point I say so be it. They get 6 chances per hour they aren't spending on earning anything else at all.

I just want to give gutz and funtnuts props for basically two manning a level 3 CoO. A 270ish blueberry fired one off last night and everyone else in the ring were just as low.
It completed my quest and I got the 300 artifact!
You and me both brother. I'm going to squeeze in maybe an hour now and then I'm babysitting until pretty late at night
Hawk, Rob and I are on Mars for the champions if you need them
Its especially rough today to do the Rift one because it happens to be the daily too. A lot of people are just there to camp and bullshit and don't really try to win because the incentive is just to finish the game.
I'm on the home stretch... Only have to do the scout rifle 6+ kills // win along with the hand cannons next.
This really forces the issue on the differences between year 1 and year 2 though. Personally, I cannot WAIT until Iron Banner comes around. Its not enough that crucible rewards be gimped for guys sticking to their 170 weapons. They're gonna be fucked trying to transition to Trials or IB.
Do you have to do this? Because I do, let me know and we can group up at some point today.

Jade Rabbit is a huge disappointment.
i had to rever back to the Answering Chord auto rifle to be able to complete heroic Strikes
i am hoping that Tlaloc to be better than Jade Rabbit.
Banshee's Susanoo fusion rifle is my favortie Legendary fusion rifle, hiping that exptic Scout rifle Tlaloc will be on that level of good

Bungie just have to make the 3oC being purchasable 1 stack per week, done
ah do I have to do Venus first for the quest? I haven't done those yet
One stack of 5? I don't like that either
What's wrong with someone wanting to do 30 strikes over the course of a week and using a 3oC on each, if they have the coins to spend on it?

Sorry Hawk
At least I'm not alone in this struggle lol.I figure they will just add a cool down on them. Something like 10 mins.
Got an artifact from a random blue to get me to 288. Thought I'd have to wait til after the weekend to be ready for the raid but this put me that much closer. Also received Bittersteel, my only missing shader, from a DO package. Great start to the day and I'll be making jambalaya to celebrate all this.
It's pretty hard. I joined a group of 2 half-way into the Strike via matchmaking and they were getting destroyed. Bring void weapons/sub-classes because the Psions with void shields are actually the most difficult.
If you guys are down I can run this now.
I was only ever going to use it in PvP, how is it there?
#1 solution, with no downsides I can think of actually. We don't know how tough to implement it is on the backend though. Fingers crossed :-/

The only difference that needs to be made to 3 of Coins is you shouldn't be able to use it on the same boss multiple times without redoing the mission or having a cooldown. The only thing broken currently is that people are able to kill draksis repeatedly in short amounts of time while using coins.

I have to agree with everyone saying there should just be a cooldown. Having an exotic engram pop out of the boss during the nightfall was so f'ing rewarding. Took the sting out of getting strange coins as the reward.

Or grind out for those fusion rifle consumable drops for the Gunsmith.
You know you want to haha.
