Destiny |OT32| Driviks and Draksis (Spoiler Tag ALL Raid Discussion)
- Thread starter DrDrizzay101
- Start date
people who are 300+ have reported some engrams decrypting at 310. That, coupled with the fact that hundreds of people who did the 3oC farming never got anything above 290 (because most were below light level 300) tells us that it's a thing.
some math said it was like 50% or something to get a 310 as long as you're 300+.
gave you a legendary sparrow.
I don't actually know if this is a fight you can speed up. It will normally be 4. Haven't ever even felt like 3 was possible, and if you didn't do it in 4 I don't even know if you'll have time to get it done.
I can do it in a few hours, or any time tomorrow/Sat/Sun.

How did we get a new OT so fast. . ? Were we that close yesterday?
After my longest week in Destiny, ever, 2 failed attempts at Spindle totally broke the will of myself and one other guy in the raid team. It forced us to take the night off.
I stocked up before Xur left (bought about ~25). I just pop one before each boss encounter. So far the rate of return has been pretty good.
I dunno man. I felt like my group did it in 3.
We shot the fuck out of Oryx I felt.
EDIT: We did it in 4. Fuck I'm absent-minded. We just did it way too fast and I was too caught in the moment to pay attention lol.

2.0.0.4 - The one that released on the heels of Oryx.
With the first week of Destiny: The Taken King behind us, we're taking an opportunity to address and tackle some of the immediate issues that are impacting the player experience.
General
Fixed an issue with Year 1 Moments of Triumphs in which Golden Chest node completions were disappearing after TTK release
Activities
Quests
Fixed an issue where players who reached Level 40 before turning in the Reach Level 30 objective did not properly receive the Level 40 quest
Fixed an issue where the quest "High Value Targets" did not correctly reward Legendary Marks upon completion
Strikes
Fixed an issue where Year 1 Strikes were not dropping Uncommon and Rare quality gear as intended
World
Some treasure chests in the Dreadnaught are now in a location that only allow them to be looted once per spawn
Xur
Three of Coins now provides a smaller increase in Exotic Engram drop chance when rapidly killing Ultras
Inventory
Dismantling leveled-up Exotics now have a reduced chance to produce 2 Exotic Shards

I don't know now but you used to be able to earn an armor Engram on one character and swap it to another, and it would decrypt for the second's class.
Don't know how it works now.
"Xur

Wow talk about the most vague wording ever. Thanks Bungie.
so if you do strikes and use 3oC is the increase not smaller because its not rapid? If so, that totally is a fine change but it's not clear.

the hotfix patch notes dont mention the nerf for the sniper at all.
We had some pretty perfect runs and no one round of bombs did 1/3 damage, or even close to it. The bombs seem to do most of the damage so not sure if there's anything the players can do themselves to speed it up.

That 3ofC fix is really elegant. *claps*
"Your next update should land in October."
So at least one week of 310 spindles? (Provided you didn't panic infuse the 310 version like I did.)

They are determined when decrypting, I can attest to that.
When I farmed Draksis I used an alternate build with icebreaker, which put me at 250 light level. I decrypted a bunch of engrams forgetting about that, and they all decrypted around the 250 mark. Went back farming, and for the next batch I switched to my then 280 gear: the engrams decrypted around the 280 levels.
All the engrams were farmed with the same gear, only variable in that was my equipped gear at the moment of decrypting them.

On the first day, 777,270 Guardians attempted the King’s Fall Raid. Only 37,591 of them were able to send Oryx floating toward the rings of Saturn. Since then, almost a million attempts have been made on the King’s life. A grand total of 88,733 Guardians have successfully committed regicide.
Feels so good. So. SO GOOD.

I have no idea what that means.

It seems to be 3oC is the only good way to get the RNG exotics. I got one out of a purple but thats it. So I expected them to stay. A smaller chance is a lame fix for those who use them 'legit'. I mean, they could just disable the fact you restart the battle after a double KO. That would make the method more tedious and I would probably just use them in Strikes.
EDIT: never mind this. The strike chance is unaffected.

Most strikes don't take more than 15 minutes so the cooldown seems pretty small.

Or just drop in on Draksis once every 15 minutes or so.

RIP Draksis farm
Roughly 9% success rate. Wow.

So has the update kicked in yet?
It's a more complex but pretty decent solution rather than what I expected.
"Legit" rapid uses of coin, like the Taken subboss + Valus Ta'aurc or Shield brother 1 then 2 will still at least be possible and advance the "count" of how many you've used without a drop for the chance. General use on patrol and strike chains unaffected.
Two things: What did you do to kill the deathsingers in that mission and secondly I hope we can still farm materials in the breach.

Also, kinda crazy that only 8.8% of attempts have been successful on Oryx. Bungie must be ecstatic.

When you die at Draxis you do have a checkpoint.
So getting back to that spot is pretty fast, if you wanted to space it out more.
I am surprised they only nerfed that aspect. Won't stop the farming at all.
Thanks. This is a good change. Keeps the effectiveness but removes the "exploit"

I was really expecting the three of coins nerf to be a lot harder than that. Looks like people with a ton of strange coins can keep using them on Draksis, just with less results.
Take out multiple clears and you are down to like 3-4% I bet. General community is struggling with it right now. I'd be interested in unique account clears.
Looking for a few People to try out the Rumble Sword Quest thing:
You just start up a rumble match and let each other kill one another so you can farm the 25 sword kills in no time!
Anyone up for this?
*cough cough*

I just got to the portion of the Exotic Sword quest where you have to collect planetary materials. This part is not nearly as tedious as people are making it out to be. Here's how to stream line it:
1. Have a ghost that detects the material you need.
2. Spawn on patrol, jump on your sparrow, ride around the perimeter.
3. As you ride around, you will see the nodes pop up on your hud. Collect them.
4. LEAVE THAT AREA. Just go to the next area. It takes too long for the nodes to respawn if you stay.
5. Repeat.
I did mars. I personally went between The Barrens, The Hollows, and The Buried City. I was getting a node every 30 seconds to a minute. Overall I think it might have taken me about 40 minutes.

looks like your going to have to get your exotics from strikes as
intended now, or just walk away for 10 plus minutes each time.
feel sorry for Draksis the boss no one remembered his name before this.
i assume
better not be longer than 10 minutes
