Pretty much everything gives XP these days. Even if you do all of these, it will still take a few days to max a subclass. It's the last 8 or so nodes that take the longest to fill.

Ugh, that's exactly where i'm at. Thanks for the advice

 

[Tecnniqe]

Two days of strike farming, no maul gauntlets. Might give up soon.

It'll show up when you don't want I anymore. It's the way of RNG

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

That's because you are not a warlock and haven't tried Tlaloc with a full super bar.

That thing is a murdering machine of epic proportions.

Got that, sexy looking tool, whats this about full super though

 

[Phear]

Totally worth it. It's now my go-to gun for any situation.

Well, since i'm looking for a purple go-to primary, i'm going to pump a lot of Motes into Dead Orbit this evening. Hope it delivers.

 

[noomi]

Echo chamber strike on 36 = fun.

Echo chamber strike on heroic = fuck that.

It's a pain with randoms, since many don't know what to do with the relic.

Black Spindles + People who know what they are doing. EZMODE

So true, righto. I shall go back to other things, Charizard and Blastoise have taken up enough of my time.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

BACKU!

Morning GAF. What is your plan for today?

Solar & Void sword on arms day and I just need to finish the raid with my Titan and Hunter for the 310 artifact. After this week I should go back into "matinence mode". Get my 3x NF, 3x raid, and finally chip away at the rest of the Shaxx quest line.

 

[Namikaze1]

Good morning.

Doing daily. Feel free to hop in for some marks.

 

[Noray]

So I posted for a fresh raid and then GAF went down. Anyone wanna do a semi-quick fresh raid today before reset? I'd take any checkpoint too if anyone's raiding.

 

[TearsOfBlood]

Don't do it as a Titan? Why not? Jump is amazing and works perfectly fine.

In the dozens of hours I have spent jumping around in the final fight, I found jumping with a titan to be the hardest. The sudden boost adds a certain unpredictability to the titan jump, and the boss fight is tense enough as it is without that added modifier.

This is of course, as is with all things, personal preference. I had a tendency to overshoot my target, but if you're having no trouble doing it as a titan, then more power to you. Just giving a tip as I see lots of people struggling with all the platforming going on in TTK.

Spoiler

And everyone knows anyway: hunter master race.

 

[Gammacide]

There will be a new fragment tomorrow from the new Tier 3 CoO boss.

If anything requires having 50 later on you'll have to backtrack a ton to see which one you missed, but at least you'll hit 45 tomorrow if you pop an Antiquated, assuming Touch of Malice is what you're after.

Yah, that's what the goal was for today. Guess it'll have to wait. I really hope there is no reward save grimoire for getting all 50 on one character.

 

[MrS]

Totally worth it. It's now my go-to gun for any situation.

What level is yours at?

That's because you are not a warlock and haven't tried Tlaloc with a full super bar.

That thing is a murdering machine of epic proportions.

But is it as deadly as the beautiful Hammer of Sol glitch?

 

[Falifax]

I think my game is broken. I loaded into Cosmodrome patrol with intention to kill some hive for bounty, but right side of the screen is just green blob. Not faulty monitor tho so problem is with the game. Proof pic:

Spoiler

twas joke about weapon model size, laugh. plz

Reminds me of Battlefield 2142's Bofors Defense Rifle, a pre-order bonus weapon that actually put you in a disadvantage with its sheer scale.

I'm up for a raid!

the boolean takes up way too much space as well

Yeah I was doing relic since no one seemed to bother. And when one person did he just ran out without waiting behind the cover and got destroyed lol.

Took so many cycles to get it down. But I also think they went a little over board on the yellow enemies in the phase leading up to the boss. Makes it take quite a long time.

 

[X-Frame]

I love seeing 3 threads on the Reddit front page about how ridiculous the Crucible quest line is.

It's like everyone is finishing their PvE stuff and moving to PvP at the same time only to realize what a frustrating grind it is.

Yeah....there's nothing wrong with jumping the route as a Titan. Our relic runner is a Titan for sisters and I have done it without slowing down on my Titan.

It's just a personal preference thing. Titan is fine.

 

[Strangelove77]

Give up. It's embarsssing to admit, but I've probably beaten the saber strike 30 times this week looking for the warlock helmet and had no luck. And about 20 times on Omnigul for the warlock bond. I've gotten neither.

 

[Mupod]

So that warlock chest, Alchemist Raiment I think. The one that speeds up cooldowns while super is full. Is this obtainable from engrams, because I have found Praxic Fire, Voidfang, and Starfire Protocol so far. Since my Titan has a 307 chest from the raid and I don't need a hundred Alpha Lupis I'll keep decoding chest engrams on the warlock if I can get that alchemist chest. I really want to try combining it with Tlaloc.

Are you guys grinding normal or heroics? It is anecdotal and not scientific, but my buddies have gotten more perceived strike only loot on heroics.

 

[Marvel]

Heroic.

Yup, totally sucky.

It is I managed to get an arc and void burn one from Draksis farming,

 

[Trakan]

I can confirm the Ultra Knight on the Cabal ship on the Dreadnought can drop 2 Exotic engrams at once for one Three of Coins.

[Stephen_drewz]

Has anyone got an exotic deop yet WITHOUT 3oC?

 

[Strangelove77]

So I posted for a fresh raid and then GAF went down. Anyone wanna do a semi-quick fresh raid today before reset? I'd take any checkpoint too if anyone's raiding.

I'll go for a raid in about half an hour. I left off right after the second boss, but I'd be willing to start all over if I have to. I just really need to get this done before the reset.
And I haven't gotten any farther, so I don't know anything about what's next.

 

[Namikaze1]

Just need to unlock the last Stormcaller perk to be done with all 3 subclasses. Just finished Nightstalker's ten minutes ago.

I got it once during Draksis farming. I was on my warlock and probably spent about 400 strange coins. Don't know how many 3 of coins that is.
I will say that it seems like what class you're currently using doesn't matter. Got tons of armor from the other classes as well.

I'd like to raid as well. Prefer fresh start, but beggaes can't be choosers 297 titan.

Yeah, I got it. It's also really good because it has two perks that let you find more Special or Heavy ammo and it also allows you to carry more Special or Heavy.

 

[Strangelove77]

I've probably done saber about 20 times during my heroic strikes and 30 from just picking it off the directory since TTK came out.

Yes, I have a problem.

 

[hank_tree]

I got a legendary engram that decrypted into a 310 Hawkmoon. Does that count?

From what I understand, all ultras can do this.
One of those engrams you would gotten anyway, and the other is a "bonus" one from the 3oC.

 

[Tovarisc]

What? Since when exotic engrams drop in the wild without help of 3oC?

Edit:

When you have a full super bar the weapon fires as fast as you can pull the trigger (sort of like the Midda), handles faster, reloads faster.

It's pretty cool once you unlock the perk

Shame it's only useful weapon as Sunsinger because it's only warlock subclass that has any reason to sit on their super. Arcbro or Voidbro has no excuse to sit on their supers in any of the raid encounters.

 

[k1t4j]

Heroic strikes aren't worth it anymore to me
Just run normal, use only your sword, and if you don't get good drops you're at least rewarded with spending half the time doing the strike and having fun running only a sword

 

[Namikaze1]

I got a 290 Thunderlord from a legendary heavy engram.

 

[Sentinalprimus]

Heroic.

Why? The strike loot drops from the director selectable version of the strike, no point grinding the heroics with randoms.

This is part of why I might be switching to my Titan full time. I got Darkblade helm on my warlock from my very first Sunless Cell run, found out that the strike-specific loot is quite rare (and good, love inverse shadow not taking an exotic slot) so I didn't want it to go to waste.

 

[Phear]

Jup, got that yesterday too.

 

[Raybunny]

I did Daily Story + PvP. Then I got my daily mat on Mars (4/10 hype! I'll be done by next Armsday).

Will you get them? Your drop rate is 1 mat. per 10 hours HYPE.... I am worried. ( muah ah ah ).

Solar & Void sword on arms day and I just need to finish the raid with my Titan and Hunter for the 310 artifact. After this week I should go back into "matinence mode". Get my 3x NF, 3x raid, and finally chip away at the rest of the Shaxx quest line.

Ol' Good maintenance mode.

Good enough I guess. Wasn't sure if it was even possible now. Glad it is.

 

[MandrakeUK]

I got a few legendary engrams that all turned into exotics but never a actually exotic engram without 3oC.

 

[CouchMaster]

Do I have to be the summoner for Eris CoO quest or can I just join the activity and complete it?

 

[theytookourjobz]

I want to pull the trigger on TTK but I have some qualms. I'm level 32, haven't played in awhile, and haven't ever done a raid before. I just don't have a group of people or the time to find a group to do the high level stuff with. Is TTK worth it for matching with randoms, playing solo, or playing crucible?

 

[Acidote]

Do I have to be the summoner for Eris CoO quest or can I just join the activity and complete it?

Join and complete.

 

[Kojirospath]

The bigger the gun model = the better the gun.
Who needs to see anything on the right side of the screen anyway? That's for scrubbies. Obviously.

Well, I have gotten the warlock gauntlets, Taniks cloak and a tread upon stars scout rifle randomly in the first week on just my warlock.
But now that I'm specifically farming or an item I've had no luck.
