You watch, It'll be iron banner mayhem clash, so weapons won't matter
New Monarchy, shotgun
Future War Cult, rocket launcher
It's slow and drawn out by design. You can do it faster if your fireteam can unload sickening amounts of DPS into boss between orb movement transitions.

Far out. Echo chamber on heroic was legitimately challenging. First time ever doing it probably didn't help, not sure if I was missing a mechanic or is the boss fight really that slow/drawn out? Took forever.
the quest chain doesn't give the nightfall-esque rewards. Completing all the quests unlocks Shaxx bounties which those give the nightfall rewards.
hm, time to save up...
So apparently, people are saying this works:
You already completed the Exotic Void sword on one character. You get the Legendary Solar and Arc swords on your other characters. You transfer them to the character who already completed one Exotic - whoever completed the Void quest.
It is on this character - the one who has completed the full quest - that you'll infuse the Arc and Solar past 280 + unlock the last upgrade. Apparently, this will let you skip the Majors/PvP step entirely since the game already accounts for that quest being done, and sends you straight to the "farm a lot of shit" step.

Is it weird that I don't have a lot of desire to run the raid right now? I worked my dang off to get to 290 but I feel like I'd rather go through more quests, level up other alts, try for more exotics in strikes than bang my head against the wall of content I'm kind of just not good enough for yet.
I'm just not a currently reliable source of DPS right now, and it's nothing to do with my weapons. It's just a lack of, I guess, "thumbskill". I always shoot around a target before I land a shot on it, then I run out of the clip too soon.
I feel like I just want to practice and get better before throwing myself into the big pool.
Thoughts?

Yeah it works, I think goth did this on his stream actually.

haha you serious? cryptretard is back to his trolling ways with his legendary engrams, they're nothing but trash
If you feel unsure about your target finding and hitting + jumping skills definitely practice those until you personally feel confident in your skills. Most likely you would already be okay in raid, but if you personally feel unsure about your performance it will suck fun out of experience.

Do scout and 1000 yard stare were literally my first couple of legendary drops on day one.

have you tried the different gun types? Maybe try using a hand cannon and/or scout rifle for a bit as they really encourage headshots so you can get some practice?
This raid is extremely demanding in terms of concentration and coordination, as well as good gear. But as long as you're 295ish and have a good, well leveled Sniper, you don't need to be a pro mode quick scoping crit machine. The boss DPS you deal will generally be against huge stationary crit spots. If you don't do damage it isn't because you're missing shots, it's probably because you're in the wrong place or getting there late.
Everything is on a fixed timer. Your team will have to perform consistently, like clockwork, along the assigned roles. But there's no role which requires particularly high gunskill, it's all team coordination and remembering positions and timers.
But the whole point is to have fun. If you don't feel like doing it now, there's no rush. There will be people playing this every weeks for months to come.

I have a scout rifle I'm using now. Great advice, thank you!
Damn it, I'm misremembering then. Will have to just try my luck on that Venus strike with a bunch of yellows before the end.

Seriously? I actually don't mind doing the 50 majors / 25 pvp kills but that farming part is downright unbearable.
Mine too! But my original DO scout had less than stellar perks. It's 298 but I'll replace it with the Vendor roll. Same with the Stare. I need that Triple Tap in my life, my roll is meh. Now just have to infuse these purchases to a usable level.
How was it a glitch, though? Just like any other material farm it was about looping an area. What am I supposed to do? That already took a half hour.
It honestly makes no sense why they made Hadium Flakes so difficult to find now and completely goes against quality of life that they are pushing.
Hadium Flakes business is the most annoying part of TTK.

That's where I'm stuck at. I have zero plans of doing it tbh. I'll get all 3 swords up to that step and just leave that hanging.
Spending hours on Patrol farming? lol not a chance. Like, absolutely no chance I'll do that. It's not fun.

So what is the "intended" length of time to wait before using another Three of Coins?

Just starting th "Entropys Pinnacle" mission if someone was willing to jump in and help with the boss. Was a pain in the ass when I did it on Xbox.
PSN: tp_Drewz. Just add if you are bored and willing to help.

Two in six doing strikes
I think glitch they are referring to was leaving the zone and coming back, it refreshed instance and respawned chests. A lots of people used it to power farm that stuff fast.

I would be interested in killing oryx. I have a checkpoint but have yet to experience his death.

The past 3 days have been very productive doing a bunch of stuff. Very fun too. The raid is great but the next time I run it I wanna change "roles" on
fights, to I become more aware of the encounters.
It's still very effective but you can't "farm" anymore. I like it this way.
golgoroth, sisters and oryx
On golgoroth I was on clearing cursed thrall duty (stormcaller is perfect for this), sisters I was on P1 and oryx I was roaming helping everybody with Ogres.

Haven't heard anybody talk about it but I absolutely LOVE the DO auto rifle Paleocontact JPK-43.
Mine has Lightweight, Battle Runner, and Counterbalance. I'm a fucking speed demon with this thing. Was my main weapon for dealing with adds in the raid and i'm pretty damn good with it in the Crucible as well.

There should've been a CD on 3oC.
They changed the spawns because people abused the loop system enter/exit zone thing.
I'm talking about just looping around the breach checking the rooms. Never did the respawn glitch and regret it highly.
Okay, so what's the new solution now? Like I said before, never did the exiting entering zones thing.

Bought it last night. It's pretty sweet. Def lives up to the hype and I love the shooting noise it makes.
I just infused a 310 Hawkmoon into my raid scout rifle to bring it to 308. Then I infused a 310 Starfire protocol dup into my raid chest piece to make it 310.
Then I dismantled over 1000 planetary materials because wanted the space.... Still have a overwhelmingly massive amount of them... I wish Bungie let you turn those in for rep...

Any secret from the Daily today?
Spent some 3oC on Draksis to get an idea of how the hotfix works exactly.
On average you'll now spend about 12-13 3oC per engram when killing as fast as you could on something like Draksis. You'd be better off keeping the checkpoint and going back to kill Draksis every now and then if it's been more than ~5 minutes or so since your last Ultra kill.
I think I would have preferred they just put a hard cooldown on it, because there are situations in the game where 2 Ultra kills happen in quick succession and that proposition is now a straight value loss even though that isn't communicated well in-game.

You need 155 Hadium Flakes. Grand total. That's 3 Swords + Touch of Malice and its upgrades.
The Patrol grind for Exotic swords though...who the hell knows. Hundreds of nodes picked up by the time you have all 3. It's insane.

I wonder why it's so hard to integrate a kick system.
