When we sit down as the raid team to talk about building a new raid, we start with "what's the theme?"
The theme of the Vault of Glass was The Descent.
With Crota's End, One Way Trip became that theme that a bunch of our mechanics and experiences were measured against.

If this doesn't work, I promise to stop trying.

 

[Blue Ninja]

New thread smell. I LIKE IT.

Still salty we never got 'A Prison of Elders' as a thread title.

Gonna need to get on that honor roll someday. Want my Grimoire card.

 

[noomi]

Hello!

Looks like I posted a lot less this time around heh.

 

[bitsurugi]

Oh, Drizz...

 

[Duebrithil]

There's no stopping DGAF

Can't wait to roll some exotic engrams when I get home, hopefully I'll get some 310 items.

 

[Lord Phol]

Gief XUR, I got my whole pants full of strange coins to spend!

 

[phen0m24]

You really want to know the theme, don't you Drizzy?



Nice work as always amigo

 

[Shito]

Aaaw, Ocean is missing the OT is featured in... </3

On the bright side, I avoided the wall of shame this time.

 

[GlamFM]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo....


I thought we settled on the 1% thing.

Anyway, new thread smell, IB hype!

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIRST TIME ON THE WALL OF SHAME!!!!!!

EDIT2:

I´m the 1% of the 1% of the 1%

 

[DY_nasty]

Really liked the 1% thing :/

 

[Jinjo]

Please Luke, only tell Boguester the TTK theme when he puts up his Thunderlord post.

Checkmate.

 

[glaurung]

Killed Golgoroth last night with a fireteam of friends. It was great, even though we were cutting it close.

Witches seem easy, Oryx seems hard. But the end of the raid is a stone's throw away now.

 

[PuMa]

Iron lagger and Titans of Osiris

Spoiler

I'll watch the streams

You know it!

 

[Nighte]

Funtimes keeps on rolling. Cant wait for OT55 in two weeks

 

[Raybunny]

New Thread HYPUUUU!

So lets see what Xur has to sell...

3oC the only thing worth it seems.

 

[SnakeEyes]

3 Helmet Engrams from Xur.

Got a Celestial Nighthawk (290, but better stats than the one on sale), Insurmountable Skullfort, and a Graviton Forfeit (310, and Int/Disc.)

Today was a good day.

 

[GlamFM]

can the engrams from Xur turn into 310s?

 

[PuMa]

can the engrams from Xur turn into 310s?

Yes

 

[Flying Toaster]

can the engrams from Xur turn into 310s?

Yes

If he loves you.

 

[Shito]

I so have to manage to go over that 299 bar I've been stucked on for the past days. ^^
Getting my exotic sword will probably do just fine, I suppose I do have to endure that farming grind before Xur leaves then... :/

 

[GlamFM]

I´ll buy 3 and hope for a 310 Saint 14.

 

[duck_sauce]

can the engrams from Xur turn into 310s?

Only if you are lightlevel 300+

 

[guybrushfreeman]

4/5 of my engrams rolled 310 today (I was at 304 light). Seems all my RNG prayers paid off this time.

 

[Sniffynose]

I did my first raid tonight and for most of us it was blind I have to say I wasn't a fan of all the

Spoiler

platforming

and the most disheartening thing was spending 4hours and downing

Spoiler

warpriest and making it to metroid ogre

and having 5 smoldering rock things to show for it lol hell I would have settled for a few 299 blues even xD

 

[GlamFM]

Only if you are lightlevel 300+

I am. Got exotic 310 drops in the wild. Was not sure if that could also happen with Xurs engrams.

 

[Messiek]

I got 45 3oC. My body is ready, Telesto and supercell ... I'm looking at you.

No more spoiler tags needed.

Jumping sections will become trivial on your next run.

Once the "first time" pressure is gone everything will flow - you´ll see.

 

[sephi22]

Gonna go ham on those 3oCs

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Gonna go ham on those 3oCs

Me too.

I bought a helmet engram just cause and it turned into a 290 Skullfort - isn't this supposed to be good for Sunbreakers? I'll store it if I ever decide to use the class.

 

[Inapplicable]

Bought and decrypted helm engrams on my titan one at a time hoping for a 310 saint-14. After getting skullforts, inmost lights and taikonauts, I finally got a saint 14 on my 9th and final attempt.

It is 290.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Bounties to acquire trials items? Ehhhhhh

It's pretty nerve wracking especially when you goof up and hold everyone back and stuff. My fireteam was nice and the only real issue we found was some were lagging and caused some bad wipes during the powercharged relay section.

I watched the ogre boss giant bomb feed and saw they still had 4hrs to go for the next two bosses, I'm scared lol

 

[deoee]

Good morning new OT!

 

[Blue Ninja]

Speaking of the theme of King's Fall and Crota's End, is there any explanation in the Grimoire for this?

Considering the fact we killed Crota in the Ascendant Realm and he's totes dead, you'd think his lowly Deathsinger servant would be in a little coffin all of her own. Instead she's happily floating around again.

 

[Kyoufu]

Where is Xur and what is he selling?

 

[onimushroom]

Bought 4 helmet engrams, got 4 helmets I already had, all 290.
Helmet engrams keep on sucking.

Imo the Ogre is the hardest part in the raid.

There is an element of chaos to that fight that you will never get completely rid of.

Sisters & Oryx are more about execution. Once you have it down, admittedly that might take a while, it´s actually pretty easy.

 

[Jas]

Have a charged agonarch rune I'm about to use if anyone needs the fragment.

PSN is ejas.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I fucking love this sniper rifle. It's like a mini rocket launcher that reloads lightning quick.

[Kyoufu]

Got nothing but 290 helms. Coins wasted. Dumb RNG bullshit system.

This game still needs work, Luke.

 

[Namikaze1]

Just one 310 helmet. I'll save that for later. At least I got the last of the new hunter helmets.

 

[maomaoIYP]

Bought a bunch of engrams, got 3 or 4 at 310. All dupes, and the only one I like is a 310 skyburner's. Oh well.

 

[Midshipman]

So is the nighthawk a bad roll? Can't see on the destiny app but reddit says to dismantle it and get it at the tablet.

 

[MrS]

What's the price of exotic helms? I forget this shit every week

 

[Sentinalprimus]

That title. Nice job Driz!

[SolarMystic]

Whats the best way to use 3oC now?

 

[Inapplicable]

Good infusion material though, I infused dupe 310's into my 290 Saint-14 and it is now 309.
