So wait, someone catch me up on the 310 exotics people are getting?

If you're at 300+ (or 301+ maybe?) Light exotic engrams have a chance to decrypt at 310 instead of 290.

 

[stb]

Can someone let me know which strike bosses in the current heroic play list are not ultras so I know when not to waste a ToC?

You can't waste a 3oC that way. It's only consumed when you kill an ultra.

Only way to waste a 3oC is to pop one when you still have the "IX" buff on your character screen.

Oh ok, thanks. I'm still in the 290's so it won't affect me, but that is still pretty cool.

You dont waste them. They stay until a Ultra is killed.

So my pulse rifle with hand loaded and firefly is random?

Headshot - boom!
Headshot - boom!

Only the last perk is random. The pulse rifle can roll with:

1) Glass Half Full
2) Life Support
3) Firefly
4) Danger Closer

Firefly is the best by a mile there.

VoG weapons will always be the best...

VoG:
The good:
Fatebringer, Vision of Confluence and Found Verdict are absolutely top tier. But to be fair, Fang was also fantastic. Word of Crota got a lot of crap but can actually out-DPS. FB (ignoring mass damage to bunched up Thrall).

The average:
Corrective Measure is super standard. M18 Harm's Way is a perfect clone. Far better stuff out there but this one isn't bad.

Praedyth's Revegnge is a low impact fast firing sniper. 6 rounds instead of the more common 5, and super stable. Good stuff, but with low impact and very little AA it's not a star in PvE nor PvP. Not bad, not amazing. Black Hammer and Shadow of Veils are more compelling.

Timepiece: I think this impact class of PR isn't too fun but I hear it's amazing in PvP. I think most would agree it's an overall average selection compared to more versatile Pulses out there.

The ugly:
Low impact bullet hose AR. PoE's is better
Non-tracking, non-proximity AR. CE's is better.

That's sexy.

 

[EL CUCO]

So do you have to be 300+ for that to be a possibility?

Yup. 300 is the minimum that I've heard, so far.

 

[Robdraggoo]

if your over 300 exotics will drop at 310?
maybe I should hold on to these coins for a while

[Ophelion]

Mid heroic strike and both my teammates leave. I progress solo for a bit and still nobody goes in? I thought there's matchmaking. 2 spots open if anyone wants to join.

Happens to me all the time. I think the ones that infuriate me the most is when people leave because they got their dumb asses killed and I don't immediately sprint over to pick them back up. Meanwhile a half dozen boomers are shelling the shit out of their ghost.

It's like, "No, buddy. Fuck you. I'll get to you when it's safe so we don't wipe, how about that? Some of us are actually competent at fighting the darkness and don't Leeroy Jenkins all over every encounter. You just sit there for a second in a puddle of particles while I idiot proof the room m'kay?"

Eh. I prefer Life Support for the Pulse Rifle.

Chance for 310, no guarantees. To get chance you need to be 300+, yes.

Thats what they want you to think

 

[Sullichin]

Yessss
Found what I think is the last relic fusion rifle drop for gunsmith. Pushed my rank over to 3 and I can get Ace of Spades. Really happy I don't have to wait a week.

 

[Namikaze1]

Christ. I don't remember it taking this long with my Lock...does using the bow count as an ability void kill???

I uh went Void with Warlock and Arc with Hunter.

 

[xplicitone]

At the boss. 1 spot open

 

[nOoblet16]

It feels like a waste that they introduce a weapon reroll mechanic for all guns in HoW and take it out completely for TTK.

I mean wat? Isn't the entire point about keeping the good things ?

 

[silver.tongue]

Eh. I prefer Life Support for the Pulse Rifle.

Maybe. Depends on how you use it. I just like when things go boom!

Spoiler

Thats what they want you to think

I would aprove this twist.

 

[all of my hate]

Spoiler

I seriously hope theres a secret path that leads to a dialog for them. Also the Stranger. I'm pretty sure theres something for the Stranger like the Ketch ship extra that connects to the No Time To Explain exotic. We're probably missing something obvious, again...

 

[j-wood]

Do it with a fireteam.

They can stand on the platforms for you and distract the thrall.

Finally just got it.

 

[Namikaze1]

Nami's gonna be too tired to raid tonight with all that farming.

I'm actually not gonna raid tonight. It's movie night with the GF.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

I uh went Void with Warlock and Arc with Hunter.

Smart man.

 

[Finn of Ooo]

Had something funny/frustrating happen last night. Apparently if you fall into the pit SABER opens in the floor, when you get revived you fall in again immediately over and over again and cannot be revived...

 

[Deku Tree]

I'm at 61% after the 3 hours I spent farming on her. 15% on my warlock though. Shit is gonna take a while on her.

Bad juju plus wake the hive = ability kills in just a 10-20 minutes.

 

[Collateral22]

Yeah I'm not handing in them fusion rifle things you get anymore. They are definitely linked with Sleeper Simulant and some even have progression bars.

 

[xplicitone]

Can anyone help with heroic Weekly boss? 1 spot open

 

[saveweyard]

I could explain how to get the No Time to Explain to you guys, but uh...yeah...hehe

Spoiler

I don't actually know, please don't hate me

 

[LiK]

I'm actually not gonna raid tonight. It's movie night with the GF.

dammit! guess i'll def go freelance then. first time I don't finish my first new raid with you.

 

[commish]

Anyone have the CP for second jumping puzzle? Need that fragment. Thx!

Anyone?

 

[LTWood12]

dammit! guess i'll def go freelance then.

I think everyone else is still planning on doing it. And I think Deku offered to fill if anyone didn't show, so you have another 300+ ringer.

 

[MrDaravon]

There's only 4 or 5 specific ones you get, it's not something that keeps dropping or anything. I got all of them within 2 days and haven't seen one since.

 

[Dave_6]

I uh went Void with Warlock and Arc with Hunter.

Smart man.

Makes me glad I chose an Arc one for my Hunter.

 

[Namikaze1]

*slams head on to desk*

I forgot I got a 290 Voidfangs...

I spent so much time waiting for grenades to cool down when I could've just kill myself.

 

[xinek]

Are there raid groups tonight on ps4?

I'm looking to do the raid! As long as mid-280s light is high enough...

 

[Robdraggoo]

Maybe. Depends on how you use it. I just like when things go boom!



I would aprove this twist.

they seem to be staggering content a little bit. I would not be surprised that petra will have a mission at some point that will take you to find them.

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

For the stolen Rune fragments I heard you can "leave" until you get the one you need?

 

[noomi]

Finally time to go home, the destiny addiction is too strong.

Yeah I am happy to help as long as your starting after 8:30 or 9 pm est.

I need to take down oryx with my warlock.

 

[Namikaze1]

I got it as a nightfall reward last week. Promptly tossed it in the vault. Completely forgot about it.

That's not what the Grimoire suggests for one of them, at least.

It drops in VoG cause its stuck in a timewarp and have

No time to Explain

 

[j-wood]

Wait, so those gun things you get that you can turn in for rep have another purpose? I thought it was odd you had to hold X and had a progress bar fill before it turned in (similar to dismantling something).

All the other stuff that you simply turn in has you just press X.

 

[toastyToast]

Playing with hand cannons in pvp is still odd. I think the damage drop off would have got the point across that you should probably try to engage from closer. When you start to get to the nerfed region your aiming isn't worth shit. Misses despite being lined up and if you do hit you can't crit. At the tip of mid range scout rifles typically have much better recoil control and will eat you alive. There was already an ecosystem there. Pulses compete at that range too but they're far more versatile trading with both autos and scouts. The current meta basically let's pulse rifles be hand cannons except they don't require the same finesse.

Yeah T-44 said he'd be home around 8:45 central.

 

[Anoregon]

Things to do when I get home tonight:

Nightfall

Fear's Embrace (with help, fuck soloing)

Get at least a few of the rare heliums for sword quest

I will certainly be enlisting gaf for the first two.

 

[Toejam2501]

Sorry if asked, the banner on bungie's site, is that hunter holding a Black Hammer? I wouldnt know what one looks like, it never dropped for me. Silly if so.
