Is it Thalnok this week already? Thank god T3 changes tomorrow lol
I 100% think we will too, but I don't think they watched the user base and made specific changes to counter our current strategies like they had done previously.
Right. You lose that window of opportunity and completely miss it if you don't kill the Knight in time. Everyone has to converge on the Knight to take him out.

I think Bungie came out and said that HM KF wasn't suposed to just be higher level enemies like the last 2 have been. I don't really believe them, but saying that...if you shoot Oryx in the head during the fight he will turn his head and look at you. I bet they toss in the gaze getting feature from Golgoroth into the fight.
I think it's an effective class, I just don't have fun playing as one. It's underwhelming, but it's erratic and hard to kill and has a lot of range. Definitely deadly.
thx a bunch!
Sooooo now that IB is almost over.
Is PvP dead again?
of course.

You better be around for Trials!
Thanks for the help Hawkian. I don't think that other guy understood you could let the sword bearer live, clear all the adds, and then have the entire duration of the sword to get Crota. He was just burning the sword guy ASAP.
You can even kill the sword bearer ASAP and leave the sword on the ground while you kill the adds and still have more than enough time to damage Crotababy XD
Thanks, thankfully one of the group got the ToM so we should be able to be successful today.
I tried with a 310 zhalo, 308 1000 yard and a sword. Guess I'll switch to 300 Hung Jury and maybe 290 SS / 295 JLB-47?

They absolutely are going to force us to do the 6 orb/ball/fruit strategy for Golgi. At the very least, they'll stop us from single orbing it. Luke said it was his favorite encounter in the game and he was talking the two gazer strategy.
But there's so much weird/lazy/tacked on stuff on Normal mode. Like the Tablet of Ruin. They couldn't balance it any other way than to set a 6 death limit? That's so generic. No other raid boss requires something so bland. And while the Shade fight is great, the meteor part of Oryx feels so tacked on to me. It's not interesting, and it feels like filler. It catches you off guard once, then after that, it's easy mode. It doesn't show up anywhere else in the raid/game except the Shield Bros. And because you're constantly running out of them, you don't even know what they do visually, which would be somewhat redeeming.
These are the kinds of things I'd expect to see if they were making it harder for Hard Mode, but they're present on normal mode. It's strange to me.
Also, not sure if they'll keep the "no revives" thing because Normal mode is already a mode where one person down is a wipe for many sections. Every boss is a DPS check & that check is going to be even higher on hard mode. Besides that, mechanically, you need 4 people minimum for Sisters/Oryx, but good luck doing that with someone down during any phase other than in between runs. "No revives" won't change Hard mode at all since we already wipe for most things other than a flawless run.
Finally, how weird is that they made exotics that essentially trivialize the bosses in King's Fall? Spindle for War Priest & Golgi, Touch of Malice for Sisters & Oryx. Those bosses were much more a challenge before we had Spindles & Malices. Sisters in particular with 5+ Malices is a laugh riot.
To sum up: I have no idea what to expect from Hard Mode. It's either going to redeem the raid for me or turn me into a Trials nerd.
anyone in fireteam can get deathblow, just needs to be shotgun. basically when they're low health just go shotgun crazy.

There's a patch tomorrow so get glitching
Both brothers need to have the deathblow be from a shotty. If you are in a fireteam, you still get credit as long as your teammate lays them out with a shotty.
ToM is perfect. 300 Hung Jury is great as well. Snipers are preferred (Defiance of Yasmin, 1K Yard Stare, Eirene RR4, Black Spindle). Look for high impact, high DPS. No point in Rockets .. too long between rounds. You can't tether Oryx either.

Great. I must have been doing it wrong cos I couldn't get it working.

On CoO 3? Had some dumbass running around killing ads with it then a few times he ran off with the sword.
So it's actually reasonable to conclude I could get this done with matchmaking?
This is just speculation, but I think the daughters are going to be the nightmare section of the hard raid. When you kill the first daughter and everything goes bright white, followed by a rush of adds while you're still blinded... I think that part's going to be horrible on heroic.

That's what I did. I can't imagine doing it the other way. It took me about an hour to do it all. And the glitch should be gone by tomorrows update.

I can toss you a hand.
I need to do this too. I could help.
you should not do that. The other two players might shoot at it with something other than a shotgun, ruining the entire quest.
If you can't find anyone and would be willing to wait a couple of hours I can help out, prob with a friend.
she drops a pulse rifle that is supposedly good for pvp.
Dang! That could be cool.

A bunch of us did it that way. It's easier than a Nightfall & I've seen no complaints. But looks like you've got a DGAF fire team.
Just good on Bungie for providing matchmaking.

I'm not sure I have you on friend list, send me a party invite at bitmapfrogs and open your fireteam.
Farming for the strike exclusive pulse, you can grind it without actually completing the strike by killing Omnigul before the final boss room.

It will be interesting to see what they do for daughters. The daughters fight has more of the same boss types that I loathe in this game. A big mute boss who does nothing but stand in place and fire infinite splash damage cannons at you. It's super lazy boss design in my opinion, and it is all bungie seems to know how to do.
It would be really cool if he talked during the raid and didn't sound like he was gargling balls when he did. I mean, damn, we have killed all his kids now and he has nothing to say?

The kids were special..
But the other players were decent so got it done
Got too teach some americans some lovelly English phrases like, wanker bollox and piss flaps, so it was entertaining.
thx for sending the FR, fireteam is public
PSN hasn't been cooperating with me at all for the past week
Holy shit. A relatively clear and concise notification BEFORE something happens.

Frogs I am really sick and have no voice at all, sorry I can't speak

Fascinated by how they're going to handle NF rewards. Prediction: both obvious improvement across the board and widespread
So you're Kadey or Drassil now?
Get well soon hawk

Just in case
You put it right where it belongs.
Anyone want to give the Exotic Void And/Or Arc sword quests a shot? I got both these quests in my inventory just waiting to be finished.
