[Dreez]

Looking for one more person for Nightfall on PS4. Hit me uppp DreezyHundreds

 

[Tecnniqe]

Beam me up.

 

[Subtervotion]

Does it?
Because I'm pretty sure I've tried that for the regular "get 30 void kills" bounty, and it didn't work for this one.
Maybe I was just too tired, or it's yet another "works for this but not that" oddity Bungie can be good at sometimes... ^^

Get 30 void kills only works on the Dreadnaught.

As for ability kills for exotic sword, Bad Juju + perks that help + exotic armor that helps will get you there in 30 minutes. Dark Beyond ftw.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

2 spots for dailies!

Oh man, just finished. Pop a 3oC, just got an exotic engram from Draksis

 

[GlamFM]

What exactly changes when you're 300+ light?

Exotics drop at 310.

 

[140.85]

For the past week I've really been struggling a lot with a lack of weapon parts. I miss the days when I had thousands of them.

 

[Xzilerate1690]

So I saw a lot of Hung Jury hype. Is the weapon really that good because I just got it from leveling up my Dead Orbit rank to rank 8. 284 rating as well instead of the normal 280.

 

[Deku Tree]

I bet the weekly crucible next reset is going to be.... Wait for it... Rift!

 

[E92 M3]

What's the best exotic sword? I know I already goofed with my element type (nothing has arc shields in TTK) my only hope now is that the exotic special attack is something incredibly awesome.

It shoots an electric disk and looks badass. All of the swords are very nice.

 

[GusZamboni]

First world problems Hawk. I'm stuck there as well, but even a 299 chest won't do it.

Primary	296		299	Helmet
Special	305		307	Gloves
Heavy	298		293	Chest
Ghost	302		296	Boots
			296	Cloak
[B]Total		299.22[/B]	300	Artifact

I need to kill O

Spoiler

ryx and get a 30

0+ primary as well. That probably won't happen with my luck.

Funny thing is that i am a 301 right now, but i didnt even killed the Oryx ... i think i got lucky in this first weeks

Depends on the roll. The popularity of HJ is due to it's combo of perks from the one you can buy.

 

[Homeboyd]

Yeah but the vendor perks are what made everyone so hyped for that particular gun. What does your RNG'd version have?

 

[figadapaura]

My raid crew good at 5pm Eastern tomorrow? I'd like Mr. Wicked and Zocano to join up if they want.

Yes. I may be a few minutes late again though.

 

[Subtervotion]

Opinion time: Remove Orbs of Light from crucible

I think a lot of supers is bad for crucible (and one hit kill stuff is bad for multiplayer games in genral) but I think orbs just send this off to a whole other level.

A lot of blowouts in PvP come from a team gaining a lead and then punishing the other team with a relentless onslaught of supers generated by picking up orbs. I think you could potentially see more comebacks and more competitive games without this effect.

In my opinion, most teams don't effectively use orbs. They go away if you die already. They certainly don't turn crucible into easy mode.

 

[FeD.nL]

I don't believe so, considering the Black Spindle attack value was technically an error. That's why they are nerfing them which will change the kiosk attack value.

Nope :/

The Spindle is a glitch in the system that wasn't suppose to show up in the kiosk at 300, but at 290.

Ah ok, that sucks. I presumed that the 310 atk value was the glitch but the 300 atk at the kiosk would be standard when you would find a 310 engram.

 

[Hawkian]

Oh, my.... turns out I love me some swords in ze Crucible. Got the 25 kills done in 4 games, using only the sword, grenades, and super. Gotta be perfectly honest, I wish it wasn't over. Picking the right moment to bash someone in the head with that hilt was a blast. The solitary time I actually got it loaded with Heavy ammo I immediately went on an 8-kill streak to finish off the 25 (plus a couple extra). Mmm.... mm.

What's the best exotic sword? I know I already goofed with my element type (nothing has arc shields in TTK) my only hope now is that the exotic special attack is something incredibly awesome.

Taken Centurions have Arc shiels and can be rather dangerous.

 

[PuMa]

Exotics drop at 310.

Since I've jumped to 300, I've had two exotics drop. One was 310, and the other was 290. No idea why.

 

[Kyoufu]

Since I've jumped to 300, I've had two exotics drop. One was 310, and the other was 290. No idea why.

Seems like a 50/50 chance of getting 310 drops.

 

[MrDaravon]

Since I've jumped to 300, I've had two exotics drop. One was 310, and the other was 290. No idea why.

It's random, 310 is not guaranteed. Most estimates put it at anywhere between 30-50% for an engram to decrypt to 310 if you're 300+ Light.

 

[lionelhutz]

So I saw a lot of Hung Jury hype. Is the weapon really that good because I just got it from leveling up my Dead Orbit rank to rank 8. 284 rating as well instead of the normal 280.

I spent marks on it and I like it. With the extended magazine option (20 rounds) and the Triple Tap perk the magazine is closer to 24-25 if you land precision shots.

 

[Future]

I bet the weekly crucible next reset is going to be.... Wait for it... Rift!

I don't know if it's learning the maps but damn I hate rift. Fuckin hope iron banner doesn't use rift

Finding the path to the spark, then their rift... He'll your own rift. Teammates knowing how to protect. Runner knowing how to offensively and defensively run. I feel like they need to let people spawn in there alone to test out the map without any fighting.

 

[GalacticToast]

Need 2 more for Oryx checkpoint, if any one is interested.

Edit: Full

 

[xplicitone]

A 303 Primary would do it, without a chest piece. I need to find a dream team to get me through quickly tonight. I have the checkpoint

I'm guessing raid stuff that drops

Spoiler

is between light 301 to 310. My primary dropped at 304 and class item dropped at 302, while shell dropped at 310. So if 301 is low, you have an 80% chance! Otherwise, 72.72: if 300 is low. Either way, good chances

 

[Kyne]

when I did research on the sword quest and tips for PVP, it said that blocking does NOT stop you from dying to another sword.

I know now that it was a lie. Blocking with a sword against another sword definitely negates the slash, leaving the attacker open to the defender's slash.

fuckin' liars <<;

 

[Rehsa]

Didn't get to play yesterday and finish

Spoiler

Oryx

or even do the daily, hope the blind crew got it done though I spent my day making this beautiful liquid:

Destiny themed Russian Imperial Stout w/ nitro coffee and bourbon infused cocoa nibs incoming! Also with label image provided by our resident graphics guru

Had to go to sleep after cleaning up since two nights of raiding and 3 hours of sleep had me dead, really wanted to finish him though.

I think rift sucks and prefer control. That said, it's pretty easy to get my bounties done in Rift because you can almost always know where the enemies are going to be on most of the maps.

I'm a noob but I will help. I know the strategy.

 

[LTWood12]

Thanks for weighting #'s folks. I'm at 298.4. Ever so close to 299.

Unrelated, is the Boolean Gemini any good? Looks like I'll probably get it tonight. Maybe I can pretend it's a Zhalo.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Were you below 300 when it dropped, and only put on your 300 gear for the roll?

 

[R0ckman]

Can the supercell drop in the crucible? I'm thinking of doing a crucible rampage over the next few days, I've been lucky there. The three of coins keeps giving me duplicate Suros.

It hits hard and is a good all round utility weapon. I like it. I just like some other exotics better.

 

[EJRobinson90]

Took some time but finally got around getting the exotic faction class item on 2 characters.
Had the Dead Orbit cloak for some time and the faction quest on my Titan, but I didn't have shader to start the quest. This morning Themisto dropped

Exotic DO cloak:

Exotic NM mark:

 

[Tecnniqe]

wtf lol

Only exotics? No non-raid purples or blues will drop with value over 300?

Oh ok. That explains it then.

Can the sword block the projectiles that the o

[rasengan1337]

You aren't the last LT. I have one that will be charged when I do one last fight tonight. I'll look for you before I turn in the charged ruin so maybe you can get a good charge on yours.

pffftt. last? i haven't even started that quest in earnest yet.

halp

That looks amazing. How did you get that? I got the kill finally.

Spoiler

WoL is everything for that encounter. And snipers works wonders for the initial dps. Also, everyone does have to call ready for the blighted light ball, wait for 3ish seconds until your name pops up and then run to the Brand. A sword helps dramatically with the knight. Other than that we had it all down.

[DjRalford]

I completed a Vanguard bounty in crucible.

wut

That happened to me the other day, 10,000xp without dying one, aparrantly crucible deaths don't reset it.

 

[Messiek]

I got home from college to find out the internet is not working.

I need my Destiny fix.

 

[Anoregon]

Everything is always alpha lupi. I bet fucking primary gun engrams can turn into alpha lupi.

Thanks! Brewed it myself My third brew and first 5 gallon. Congrats man glad you did, I had a feeling my DPS wasn't up to snuff, and me being 293 was an issue also. I got a 295 machine gun from an engram after we left so now I am 295. Maybe I can try tonight

 

[Tecnniqe]

Yeah but its a 310 with awesome rolls. Lol. I wanted to infuse it but im not sure anymore.

You doing the moon now? I could join for a bit.

yeah in a bit, taking a break atm

Mondays are the worst. Nothing to really do until the reset for me given I dont run alts.

I mean there are other games but.... honestly.... Who plays those

 

[Kyne]

Everything is always alpha lupi. I bet fucking primary gun engrams can turn into alpha lupi.

as someone who has gotten 7 Lupis, I can confirm this.

pretty sure I was on Mars farming relic iron and one of them came up an Alpha Lupi.

 

[D_psipher]

I have a charged one and haven't done it yet! Let's team up.

Do you mind if I tag along as well?
