Holy crap yes. As much fun as I've had playing Destiny, it takes a lot to beat some of the encounter from Runescape. Mainly because if you died you lost everything.

Lol. Funnily enough the second guy that left died like 8 times because he kept rushing in and the one time I couldn't revive him because I was getting shot at by an ogre and a captain, he just quits.
But I gotta get those legendary marks and a new legendary weapon someway.
At the point I had played to (Level 70?) the platforming we have here is as complex as Maple Story's so I dunno.
The ship stuff was good, I want more stuff like that.
Oracles give some stuff including Praetorian Foil on hard (to people other than me). Confluxes give nada
Ideally Oracles and Confluxes should've been combined into one checkpoint/encounter. Though it does fit thematically, they'd never have done it that way if it wasn't the first raid and basic concept of "how this is all gonna go" weren't being introduced. On replay that section truly drags, and not just a little because so many groups tended toward avoiding doing it legit altogether by the end of the first cycle before TDB.

Lol. Okay I will admit get killed by goofy physics is either hilarious or frustrating. I'm just tired of the hive. The Cabal are the least fleshed out species too. They are introduced at the end of the story and don't have half the lore as other species. It also makes sense for them to send a large fighting force to attack Oryx despite us killing him. We could have a new playable zone on Saturn if they set up a FoB there. The raid could have mechanics like nuclear failsafes activating instead of magic instawipes.

I would have done Confluxes like so
First wave all 3 Confluxes are active. Have to stand by the conflux to "construct" it.
Legions
Second wave just a timed round of Oracles
Legions
Third wave all 3 confluxes + Oracles. Stand in confluxes while shooting oracles.
Boom. Difficult, nearly impossible to cheese and no dragging on fights

Well only protecting one conflux the first round was Bungie teaching you how to do the section. Would be nice if it was different on HM.
Like I said last page.
Cabal super legionaire man is in a moving land tank that does not stop. Only way on is to physically board it via sparrow shenanigans. Raid proceeds like normal after you're on it.

Haha, maybe if their high ranking officers actually showed up they might be able to actually win a fight. As it is it feels like there are only a few Cabal scouts around. Their occupation of Mars and the dreadnought feels far more sparse than other species' presence, especially considering their nature.
you uhhola!

I want the equivalent of this fight from The Old Republic in Destiny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fJEjDtGiNI
I'm not even going to explain what's going on, but this is one of the best boss fights I've had with a group of people and would love to experience it with DestinyGAF.
I'm looking at this vid and remembering my time in TOR GAF and I gotta say that shit taught me how to play videogames.

Yeah confluxes. My bad. Still from the start to there is about 15-20 minutes. If the jumping puzzles don't take too long you can get to the prove your worth bit before Warpriest in the same time

That sounds far too fun. It would be great to chase after it and hope to hop on after going off a sweet jump.

All the High ranking cabal soldiers have been beaten in our solar system. Cayde confirms that after the shield brothers strike. We beat the shit out of their attempted invasion of our solar system.
It's all but guaranteed will be getting a Cabal DLC. I'm assuming the Empire isn't happy about us kicking their behind up and down the block.

Tip for all you Warlocks out there: I'm fairly certain that Landfall on Stormcaller will blind people in Crucible.

I should have been more specific. I meant their super higher ups that ordered then here, like their emperor. I would have said their emperor but he'll be in the 2nd Cabal Dlc after you kill his son in the first Cabal Dlc. Kappa.

Guardians are kinda hax tho with our coming back from the dead and all.

the darkness have infinite respawning monster closets. there is no excuse.
Both the Fallen and Cabal are on their last legs as a species.
I imagine we will ally with them down the road since their end goals are mostly in line with humanity's. Both the Vex and Hive are very clearly aligned with the "Darkness" while the Fallen and Cabal are very clearly scared and fleeing from it.

At some point in Destiny we will see Ahamkara. I know they were hunted to extinction before the events of Destiny but there's no way that we don't see magical wish granting space dragons.
The nine are definitely Ahamkara. A powerful secret organization with a mysterious servant that brings us loot at the cost of strange currency? Definitely Ahamkara.
They fly in blaring WEEE UUUU WEEE UUUUUU
I like the theory that The Nine are Ahamkara.

Why worry about blinding people? Landfall kills with a direct hit.
Also, you can do ionic blink in mid air, it's basically identical to voidwalker's blink. It does use super energy, but makes you impossible to catch, eliminating stormtrance's biggest disadvantage. I run impossible machinese + ionic blink. It's my favorite super of all 3 new subclasses in PvP.
Read the Book of Sorrows, yo.
She killed Oryx's father and Oryx has hunted her across endless worlds. We killed him before he could confirm the kill. Also she's a Proto-Hive Mother ("Witch").
I was doing patrols on the Dreadnaught, and had to kill a VIP near the area where the tank is in the Shield Bris strike. As soon as I killed the Cabal VIP one of the door next to him opened up. I had never seen that door open before so I went in. There was one terminal like the one you use your Sunbreaker items on, and I when I approached it a was prompted to use my ghost to scan it. As soon as I did, an alarm went off, the same alarm that goes off when th Cabal summon their champion, only nothing happened after that. I exited the room and looked around but nothing happened, and the door closed behind me.

And not revolve around jumping mechanics, my god it gets annoying in the raid. I cleared it finally and the jumping makes me never want to return lol (except for the ghost)
Agreed except I don't mind running KF a bunch of times with good groups.
Bungie is so desperate to want to make a 3rd person platformer.

I do the same. Combine that with the perk where you get bonus energy if you use Super with full grenade and melee energy and you'll have plenty of energy to blink and kill.
...and then, he killed the dog.

You go that way. I'll go home!
Iron Banner is pretty scrub-friendly compared to Trials but I dunno how it's gonna be with their new loot system coming up.

Provided that the helmet is available I'd say very probable. The stuff is supposed to be able to drop this time and even if you have to rank up to get it you only need to win around 1 in 5 games since you get a medallion each tome you lose that is turned into rep when you win. Hop in a GAF train and you'll be fine.

Oryx was so glitchy just now.
Bombs disappeared and center shots were immune.
Still killed him
